Vinicius and Bellingham, Out of Commission: Guardiola “Knows” They Won’t Play Against Manchester City
Pep Guardiola knows how to ensure Vinicius and Bellingham don’t play in a match against them.
The showdown against Manchester City will be filled with tension, as the two best teams in the world face off, and anything can happen on the field.
Each team will try to make the most of their “weapons.” It is likely that Manchester City will want to exploit Real Madrid’s weaknesses to gain the upper hand for the return leg at the Etihad.
Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Bellingham, and Vinicius are all on thin ice, so if they receive a yellow card tomorrow, they will miss the return leg at Manchester City’s stadium.
Surely Pep Guardiola will speak with his players to try to keep Bellingham and Vinicius out of the game, as they are players who have seen some yellow cards this season for protests or confrontations with opponents. “If we’re ready, they miss the return leg. Guaranteed,” is what has been discussed in the English dressing room, according to some British media.
On the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti has spoken with all these players to ensure they are 100% focused on the ball and what’s best for the team. He only wants them to see yellow if it’s strictly necessary to stop a very promising attack or something similar.
It will be an exciting duel between the two best squads in the world at the moment. At the Merengue club, they want to “avenge” what happened last season, and they know that securing a victory at the Santiago Bernabéu is crucial.
