After the impressive comeback against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Real Madrid faces bad news: two of its stars will not be able to play in the clásico against Barcelona.
These are Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard, who suffered injuries during the match against the German team. Benzema had to be replaced at halftime due to discomfort in the hamstring of his left leg, while Hazard left the field in the 67th minute with physical problems.
Medical tests confirmed that both players will not be available for the important match against Barcelona. This absence is a significant blow for Real Madrid, as Benzema and Hazard are key pieces in the system of the team led by Zinedine Zidane.
Benzema's absence will deprive Real Madrid of its top scorer this season, while Hazard's absence will leave an important void in the team's creative area. Despite these complications, the white team will try to overcome and will seek victory in the clásico that will allow them to remain in the title race.
Zidane will have to look for tactical alternatives to compensate for the lack of these two key players in his squad and formulate a strategy that will allow him to counter Barcelona without his starting attack duo. The clásico presents itself as a crucial challenge for Real Madrid, which must demonstrate its strength and competitiveness against one of its biggest rivals in a match that always generates great anticipation in the football world.
