Real Madrid has a difficult task to catch two goals against Wolfsburg, to qualify for the semifinals of the Champions League. Night in the Spanish capital guarantee much emotion and passion as "white ballet" will try to achieve a similar twist and remove liability from two goals for the first time in 23 years. The German club won the first match 2: 0.
The last such reversal of the "white ballet" in the Copa del Rey when, in 1983 Real Madrid lost 0: 2 during his visit to Mallorca (then team from Segunda Liga), but in the second leg "Kings" won 3: 0 and continue forward. The last time in European club tournaments in which Real Madrid managed to catch liability from two goals was in 1987 against Red Star. The Serbs won with 4: 2 matchup in Belgrade, but in Madrid the "kings" achieved success with 2: 0 and continue forward. In 89/90 season Milan won 2: 0 to "San Siro", and "Bernabeu" Real only minimal success with 1: 0. The last failure was Real against Borussia Dortmund. On "westfalenstadion" Borussia won with 4: 1, but Real managed to take the second leg with 2: 0.
The coach of Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane received good news before the second leg of the "Santiago Bernabeu", as its composition are returning Karim Benzema and Raphaël Varane. The striker will surely be one of the three who will be the attack of the team. Dani Carvajal is expected to replace Danilo at right-back. The big question is whether James Rodriguez will find a place in the starting lineup of Zidane or he will rely on casemiro. It seems that Isko no place among holders Zizu.
The future of Zidane led Real Madrid to a large extent depends precisely on the quarter-final of the Champions League. In Spanish editions have appeared reports that the Frenchman could be replaced by Jose Mourinho after the end of the season if he can not qualify "white ballet" at least the semifinal stage of the race.
Tensions in Wolfsburg is not less because the team is experiencing very serious difficulties in the local championship and almost certainly will not take part in European club competitions next season unless they win the Champions League.
Wolfsburg midfielder Daniel Kaliguri is questionable because it has muscle problems. Defender Sebastian Jung is out of the game because it has a knee injury.
The likely composition of Real Madrid: Keylor Navas - Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo - casemiro, Kroos, Modric - Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema.
The likely composition of Wolfsburg: Benaglio - Vieyrinya, Naldo, Dante Rodriguez - Gilavogi, Gustavo, Enrique, Arnold Draksles - Shurle.
