Ancelotti lined up his gala eleven (without Courtois and Modric due to injury) to receive the Ukrainians at the Bernabéu
The whites wanted to remove the thorn from the last disappointing draw in LaLiga against Osasuna
Real Madrid received Shakhtar at the Santiago Bernabéu after the unexpected stumble this weekend in LaLiga against Osasuna (1-1) that dropped the Whites from sole leadership in the competition.
Ancelotti finished the game very angry with his pupils and a revolution was expected in the eleven in the Champions League, but when it came to the truth, the Italian pulled the usual ones and came out with Lunin; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema. Let’s remember that Courtois and Modric are still injured.
The merengue team came to the stake as the first classified in their group after having defeated Celtic (0-3) and Leipzig (2-0) respectively in the first two days.
THESE WERE THE GOALS OF THE MATCH:
1-0, RODRYGO, MIN. 13
The Brazilian striker put Real Madrid ahead in the opening straight of the match after grabbing a rebound on the edge of the box and lodging the ball in the net with a mid-high right foot shot.
2-0, VINICIUS, MIN. 27
Vini finished off a beautiful associative play by Real Madrid at the first touch in which Valverde, Benzema, Rodrygo and Vinicius himself participated, who took advantage of a filtered pass from his compatriot to cross the ball as the Shakhtar goalkeeper came out.
2-1, ZUBKOV, MIN. 38
Shakhtar closed the gap with a goal from the Ukrainian striker, who with a half scissors beat Lunin assisted by Mykhaylichenko from the left wing. He failed at the Alaba brand.
