Zinedine Zidane's presser left a few talking points for fans, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric stealing the spotlight for different reasons.
The Portuguese ace will once again miss a game against Leganés, since Zidane decided to rest the player due to the complicated schedule Los Blancos have in hand.
"He's doing better, of course we know that, but it's been I don't know how many years he played every single match, and there's a moment in a player's career in which he needs to rest. Every player needs to rest," Zidane stated.
On the other hand, Luka Modric will not only miss the game against Leganés. The Croatian midfielder could also be forced to miss the crucial second leg against PSG, adding his name to the team's injury worries.
"He picked up a minor hamstring injury, he's not training now, but we feel good about him. I don't think too much of that injury, we have faith in our doctors and physios, let's hope he's back quickly," the coach added.
Real Madrid will travel to Leganés on Wednesday with their minds set on getting a little payback for their Copa del Rey elimination a couple of weeks ago.
