The French striker and his coach wanted to be reassuring.
It was a grimacing Karim Benzema who gave up his place just after scoring the only goal of the match against Liverpool (1-0), Wednesday evening in 8e Champions League final. But Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti wanted to be reassuring four days before the Clasico against Barça. “It only seems like a shot, assured the Italian coach. It bothered him a bit but I think he will recover without any problem on Sunday.
Same serenity at Benzema. “It’s the tibia, it’s a blow, he confirmed. Quiet, nothing serious. The French striker was making his return to the pitch after withdrawing against Espanyol Barcelona last Saturday due to a sore ankle. He should therefore take his place on Sunday evening (9 p.m.) for the trip to Barcelona, decisive for the title race in La Liga.
