Moments of difficulty are being lived by the team of Zinedine Zidane a few days before the match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona for matchday 17 of LaLiga Santander, as the main figure of the Madrid side, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been doing separate workouts for two days, putting his presence in the Spanish classic into question.
Real Madrid has not officially communicated anything to date, so the reason for these differentiated workouts is unknown, or whether they were the result of the effort made in the Club World Cup where Madrid won the title by defeating Brazil's Gremio, precisely, with a goal by Ronaldo.
Another concern is Luca Modric who has been doing regenerative work. However, who would be ready for the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match is Karim Benzema after joining regular training, where exercises with the ball at high intensity have been emphasized.
As is known, Real Madrid is in fourth place in LaLiga Santander with 31 points and needs a win to keep their chances of fighting for the title of the Spanish tournament alive, which is currently led by FC Barcelona with 42 points.
