arlo Ancelotti tested negative in the Covid-19 test and will be able to lead Real Madrid from the bench tonight in the match against the reigning champions Chelsea, valid for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The merengue club announced it this morning. “Ancelotti will travel to London this morning to join the team,” the Spanish club said in a statement. Positive result a week ago, on March 30, Ancelotti was almost asymptomatic, according to the Madrid press. The coach was unable to lead Real on the Celta Vigo pitch on Saturday for matchday 30 of La Liga (2-1 success), where he was replaced by his son and assistant Davide. The latter does not have the necessary licenses to appear as the head coach of a team in Spain, so it was Abian Perdomo who officially led Real from the bench.
The other quarterfinal match scheduled for tomorrow will see the surprising Villarreal face Bayern Munich. The prediction seems one-sided, if only for the different coat of arms, but history is made on the pitch and the team led by Unai Emery, after killing Juventus, will already try to trip the German champions at Madrigal. “We don’t underestimate them, but we want to win both games,” said German defender Hernandez on the eve.
