Bernabeu awaits

In Madrid, all the alarm bells will be ringing this Wednesday, May 8 at 9 pm. Los Blancos and their Bernabeu await Bayern with a draw in the first leg in their pocket and the feeling that after a sabbatical year, this year's Champions League final will be white again.

The team seems to be in great shape and even Militao, Alaba and the long-awaited Cortois are starting to show their presence on the Madrid bench. Although the pace of the first leg in Munich was not optimal, confidence is high that the players will be at their best at home. The youngsters will be led by Toni Kroos who, despite having all the madridistas' hearts on tenterhooks in view of his already talked-about renewal, does not stop shouting with every pass of his black adidas that this is his prime. Bellingham and Vinicius Junior will help the German in his particular race for the golden ball 2024.

The fans will welcome the team at the Plaza Sagrados Corazones as they do every night of the Champions League qualifiers at the Bernabeu, in the hope that once again the luck of the white coven will guide the team to another victory.
