Carlo Ancelotti is counting on Aurélien Tchouaméni and Dani Ceballos to be the spark Real Madrid need in their bid to overturn the 3-0 deficit against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
Both midfielders missed the first leg — Tchouaméni due to suspension and Ceballos through injury — but they are now available and expected to play important roles at the Santiago Bernabéu. Ancelotti believes their intensity, ball-winning ability, and energy will be vital in regaining control of the midfield and unsettling Arsenal early on.
With Eduardo Camavinga ruled out through suspension, the Italian coach is relying on Tchouaméni’s physical presence and Ceballos’ creativity to push Madrid forward from the center of the pitch.
Ancelotti is also counting on the magic of a European night at the Bernabéu. A packed stadium and an intense atmosphere are seen as crucial ingredients for inspiring a legendary comeback and keeping Real Madrid's Champions League dream alive.
