Ancelotti did not reserve anything to play the first place in the group against Inter, he returned with everything without thinking about the next league game against Atlético de Madrid.
Casemiro, Kroos and Modric were starting again despite having six consecutive games playing as starters. Madrid worked and it worked mainly thanks to the pressure in the rival field. Alaba and a superlative Militao had the pressure line very high for most of the match, added to a good match by Carvajal and Mendy. The team was planted in the rival field despite not starting the game in the best way. But in the 17th minute Kroos with a shot from the front with his left foot put the game on track for the locals.
Jovic, a novelty in the eleven, fully complied. Participative at all times, falling to receive, supporting the bands, he only lacked the goal award. Vini JR and Rodrygo had a very discreet match. Asensio entered the final minutes to make it 2-0.
Madrid passes as first classified and will be in the hype of Manchester City, Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern, Manchester United (groups G and H have to be confirmed).
The confirmed teams that can meet Madrid in the round of 16 are PSG, Sporting CP and the following could be confirmed with tomorrow’s games: Benfica, Atalanta, Lille, Salzburg, Wolfsburg, Juventus and Chelsea.
