Team News
Real Madrid
Ajax
- Real Madrid are certain to finish second in Group D and so Jose Mourinho may choose to rest some of his first team and give a few of his squad players a run out.
- Alvaro Arbeloa is suspended so Ramos will move to right back and Raul Albiol or Raphael Varane will come in.
- Jose Callejon will likely start, potentially with Angel Di Maria given a rest, while Kaka could get a rare start.
- With Gonzalo Higuain out injured, Mourinho could use this as a chance to rest Karim Benzema as he will be needed again at the weekend.
- Winger Ryan Babel has joined Sigthorsson and Boilesen on the sidelines and so all three will miss the trip to the Bernabeu.
- That could mean a start for Derk Boerrigter on the wing, with Christian Eriksen continuing in the 'false 9' role up front.
- Thus, Babel aside, Ajax could field the same team that so nearly won at Manchester City last time out.
While there's hope you can all keep dreaming. @Spuds even if ajax looses M.city has to win in Dortmund,which i doubt, and as for Ajax winning in Barnabeu, seems pretty dificult. My guess is easy win to Real Madrid, and im sorry to say Yulva, Mou will keep is job in R. Madrid :P .Even if he looses.
of the Europa league, that is
I hope Ajax somehow manage to win this so City are definitely out
@Yulva : you're probably rigth, but i cant see R.Madrid loosing this game to Ajax. But footbal is full of suprises :D
@Reab: My dream is folded into two: if he fails both in the Champions League and in La Liga, there will probably be a chance of him getting disposed of.
@spuds: I hope Ajax somehow manage to win this so Mourinho is out of Real.
