A Madrid Derby in the Copa Squad List: Out Players: Tchouameni, Hazard, Carvajal, Lucas Match Notes: Real Madrid returns to the Bernabeu for the first time in 2023. We have not played at home since the 10th of November, 2022. Real Madrid has played 7 games since the return from the World Cup, all have been away from home. Alaba returns to the squad list. Atleti are coming off two strong results, 2-0 to Levante and 3-0 to Valladolid. Given that Atleti are completely out of European competitions, the Copa del Rey is essentially their last chance at silverware this season. Atleti have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 away games. They are playing better on the road. Memphis Depay made his debut for Atleti in their last match. He may make his first Atleti start against us. Real Madrid has a tough opponent coming to the Bernabeu this weekend in Real Sociedad. Ancelotti will have to make personnel decisions with that game in mind. EN LISBOA Y MILÁN TUVIERON QUE LLORAR TODOS LOS COLCHONEROS!! LA CAPITAL PERTENECE AL REAL, LO SABE EL MUNDO ENTERO!!
These people are disgusting racists Atleti fans hung a Vinicius doll and put up a sign saying Madrid hates Real. I’m speechless
The club needs to release a statement on this. This is like a threat of lynching hanging a doll of him off a bridge. It’s ludicrous. It’s hate. We can’t be silent about this
It isn't ESL and Vini is too dark to be defended apparently. Then people will tell Vini, ignore all this and just play the game so I can be happy! You don't give a shit about this guy's happiness though. Don't know many people who have the mental fortitude to get singled out by a significant part of a racist country who only tolerates others when they are performing well for them.
At what point do we consider this is blatant harassment and not just sports banter? How’s this allowed? What are the club officials doing? 🚨| JUST IN — Statement by @LaLiga: • “LaLiga strongly condemns the acts of hate & intimidation against Vinicius.”• “The investigation of the facts will be urged in the search for the conviction of those responsible & we request the most severe criminal sanctions.” pic.twitter.com/BivD7Upwty— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) January 26, 2023

I fully expect this match to be a shitshow. ******** those racists. Now hopefully our squad is up for the battle to come.
🚨 JUST IN: David Alaba OUT of tonight's game.— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) January 26, 2023 Alaba a late scratch. Rudiger needs to keep seizing these opportunities if he wants to start

Don't like it, i backed KCM to the hilt but it's time to move forward, i don't like Luka and Toni starting matches anymore, hopefully we can get it done
I think this will be a growing point of contention for Ancelotti when Tchouameni returns. Can’t blame him for starting both here when they got a rest last game. I hope Camavinga is the DM. This could be an absolutely pivotal game in his trajectory. Aurelien is about to return so Eduardo has to play at a level to force Carlo’s hand to keep starting him even when everyone is healthy.
True, fair enough, i don't mind one of them starting but i'm no longer in favour of both of them starting games anymore, i think it puts too much pressure on our defence particularly.
The same midfield and attack that drowned vs Barca. It will be interesting to see if Kroos and Camavinga have learned to play next to each other or not yet.
Lmao @ Carlo. That's an awful midfield. Kroos at DM again! Kroos cannot play as DM FFS. Bah, there is no use, Carlo never learns. Let's hope we win.
