The Real Madrid will play against the Manchester City, the turn of eighth of final of Champions League in the Etihad Stadium, without one of his big bazas to happen the eliminatory. Sergio Bouquets no only is the spiritual leader of the team trained by Zinedine Zidane, but besides it is also a safe of life in defence for the whites, always to tenor of the statistics.
No in vain the Real Madrid so only has been able to win one of the last seven parties of Champions League in which the one of Beds has not been present, irrefutable proof that the importance of Bouquets can be decisive to the hour to determine the European future of the whites this season 2019-20. To trace back the 1-2 of the gone in the Bernabéu, besides, the merengues will not have of the one who is curiously one of his best goleadores.
Since it left Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Bouquets has assumed a basic role in attack and especially in the played to unemployed balloon, so much in corners as in launchings of penalti and of fault. Without him in the eleven, the Real Madrid will be more predictable and can that less aggressive up, to the not having of one of the arms that more surprises to the rival defences.
And it is that, when Bouquets is not present in a party of Champions, the Madrid happens it fatal. The past season, the sevillano forced the yellow in Amsterdam when thinking that the eliminatory in front of the Ajax of eighth of final already was cleared with the 1-2 of the gone. From his loge in the Bernabéu, the one of Beds saw how his mates went to rack and ruin losing 1-4 in an authentic exhibition of the 'ajacied'.
A year before, in 2018, the Real Madrid also was about to to remain out of the Champions in the turn of the chambers in front of the Juventus. With Bouquets in the terracing, the 'Vecchia Signora' empató the 0-3 of the gone and a penalti controversial in the discount on Lucas Vázquez, that converted Cristiano Ronaldo, avoided the tragedy when already they announced the penaltis.
Militao, the substitute of Bouquets
The Schalke 04 was the last rival to the that the Real Madrid attained to win without Sergio Bouquets in Champions League. It will be necessary to see if Éder Militao will achieve to give the size like companion of Varane this week in Manchester. And if the ones of up, besides, will be inspired to the hour to mark the necessary goals to equalise, and even surpass, the eliminatory.
