Real Madrid on Alert for the Return of the Play-off, 6 Possible Absences at Bernabéu

Good game for Real Madrid in France. Carlo Ancelotti's team performed well, managing to defeat Brest by zero goals to three. Rodrygo Goes, with a great brace, and Jude Bellingham scored the goals for Madrid.

Kylian Mbappé couldn't continue his scoring streak, as he had several opportunities to score but couldn't get past the local goalkeeper. The Frenchman, returning to his country, was booed on numerous occasions by Brest fans.

Real Madrid doesn't qualify among the top eight

Despite the victory of the white team, Real Madrid won't be directly in the round of 16. Carlo Ancelotti's players will have to face an extra round where they will meet either Celtic or Manchester City. Additionally, the Meringue club will have the return at Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid's opponent will be known in the draw next Friday starting at 12 p.m. In the white club, they believe they must beat the strongest opponents to become champions, but they prefer Celtic over City.

Meanwhile, the white team could face Bayer Leverkusen or Atlético de Madrid if they manage to pass that first round. In that case, the excitement would be guaranteed.

Real Madrid has a big problem for the return match

Jude Bellingham, Antonio Rudiger, Luka Modric, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Endrick are the names Real Madrid has on notice. Additionally, if Carlo Ancelotti receives a card in the first leg, he wouldn't be able to sit on the bench in the return leg.

The Real Madrid players, although they have to go with maximum intensity, will also have to be careful not to be sanctioned. It's clear that facing a return match with the absences of Jude Bellingham or Antonio Rudiger can significantly affect the tie.

We must be alert to the draw next Friday to know Real Madrid's next opponent. Manchester City or Celtic of Glasgow are the clubs that will face a white team that continues to leave good impressions.
