• Threat: Democratic Tsunami calls to block the classic

In the previous Champions League match in Madrid, in Bruges, Zinedine Zidane had to answer about the threats surrounding the classic on December 18. In the morning, the Tsunami Democrat independence platform once again recalled that it has marked the great game of the Spanish league as its objective, with a very clear idea: block the event and that it cannot be celebrated.

The coach of Madrid cleared without question the questions on the subject, remembering that he should only talk about football ("The outside can not control it"), but he left a phrase with crumb, which reflects the feeling of a wardrobe willing to travel to Camp Nou , despite the threats that loom over the meeting already suspended on October 26 because of the violence unleashed in the streets of Barcelona. "I've never felt fear on a soccer field."

Madrid closes in Bruges a strange group phase that began fatally and ends with the luxury of being able to play the last game without nerves, having the classification already guaranteed. It will be second, yes, in the round of 16 next Monday, with the risk involved. Even so, the possibility of starting the decisive crosses before a powerful shield is interpreted in the white club as a lesser evil, after having been in danger on the second day, with that 0-2 of the Bruges that made the Bernabéu tremble. The final draw that afternoon and subsequent victories against Galatasaray cleared fears, although the punishment for the bad start is to play the round of 16 in a destination surely unattractive.

Zinedine Zidane will be able to give air today to the headlines and minutes to applicants such as Jovic, Odriozola, Militao or Vinicius himself. Nacho should also reappear after his injury. He could be Sunday in Mestalla the left side, since Marcelo is injured and Mendy is sanctioned. Outside the expedition, Ramos and Kroos stayed, the players with the most accumulated minutes since the beginning of the season. Madrid plays the almost three million euros that the Champions League gives by victory and the Bruges enter the Europa League as third place. They need to do the same as Galatasaray against PSG to fall in the second continental tournament.

Precisely, Zidane went through the Belgian club to do some internship when he approved the coach courses. " Benzema has ambition, he wants to play everything," the French coach said yesterday when asked about the presence of his best forward. "We have to do well and be focused, the other will come," he said when he was urged for the classic that appears in a week.
