Been looking forward to this match since Wednesday. Redemption story for Carlo in the making? Correct formations, rotation in the competition, heeding the call for Valverde… A few weeks ago every media outlet and every fan (1 or 2 exceptions) Carlo was fed up and expected to have his rushes at the end of the season could grab. Even for that disastrous classico. Since a week you hear more cautious positive sounds from all corners.

Chelsea so as I expected in a 442 or 433. Chelsea fans thought that suggestion was crazy but just seems to me the best choice against Madrid as we saw on Wednesday after the break. Or will RLC play on the left and Azpi as 3rd defender? Seems far-fetched to me, but it’s possible.
