Injuries, Gareth Bale was injured in training and sprained his ankle.

The injury is not serious, but Gareth Bale will not be able to play in the league at the weekend, and it is not good to say that Gareth Bale will not be able to make it in time for the Champions League group stage match in midweek next week.

Benitez's face suddenly darkened, which is definitely not good news!

It is definitely not a good sign that such a key figure of Real Madrid has been injured at such a critical time.

Gareth Bale was absent from the rest of the training session and he rested at home for treatment.

Soon, the news was picked up in the Spanish media, with the Spanish newspapers Marca and Ass reporting Gareth Bale's injury in training.

Immediately, this caused a lot of reactions, and the fans of Real Madrid exclaimed that the bad luck was not good, but at the same time they were worried about Gareth Bale, who had not been in Real Madrid for a long time, but he had already captured the hearts of Real Madrid fans.

Now that Gareth Bale is injured, Real Madrid fans are worried about Gareth Bale, and many Real Madrid fans are sending their blessings on Real Madrid's official website and Gareth Bale's personal social networking platform, hoping that Gareth Bale can recover soon.

Gareth Bale, who was lying on the hospital bed, was very moved when he saw these replies, so he did not reply one by one to these fans who supported him and blessed him, these fans gave him too much emotion and strength.

The Athletic Bilbao players were relieved to learn of Gareth Bale's injury, but they also felt they had a chance in this game and they might be able to take the points away from home. When the head coach of Athletic Bilbao spoke to the media, he also thought that this was an opportunity for their Athletic Bilbao team and that they would definitely win.

On this day, Real Madrid fielded their entire squad except Gareth Bale and it seemed that they had no intention of saving for next week's midweek Champions League game.

Seeing this, Athletic Bilbao was a little worried.

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, Real Madrid took control of the situation and scored goals one after another, and the Athletic Bilbao fans surrendered instantly, such Real Madrid is not a team that their Athletic Bilbao can beat at all.

In the end, Real Madrid won 5-1 at home to Athletic Bilbao without Gareth Bale.

In this game, Dongfang Chen did not score, but he provided two assists, and he was substituted at the beginning of the second half.

Dongfang Chen's performance is still very good, and the fans of Real Madrid are very satisfied.

In this game, Real Madrid played with all the main forces, winning 5-1, but their consumption was not very large, and Athletic Bilbao did not create too much pressure on him, so the physical condition of Real Madrid's players is still very good, and they are still very confident in the midweek game next week.

At this time, the players of Benitez and Real Madrid are most concerned about Gareth Bale's injury, and they don't know what happened to Gareth Bale's injury. Will Gareth Bale be available in three days' time?

Real Madrid's players are unclear about the situation, and Gareth Bale himself is unclear about whether he will be available in midweek next week.

In this round, Barcelona won 3-1 at home to Zaragoza, Atletico Madrid won 1-0 away to Granada, Real Betis lost 1-5 to Sevilla, and Malaga and Osasuna drew 0-0.

Real Madrid's standings have not changed, and their minds are no longer on this at this time, their minds are on the upcoming group stage of the Champions League.

Next week, Real Madrid will travel to Manchester City in midweek, Manchester City team is very strong, although they have not been satisfactory in the Champions League this season, but Real Madrid still dare not underestimate their opponents.

And this round of matches is also very important for Real Madrid, after this round of matches, maybe the format of this group will be very clear, and who will advance and who will be out will be completely obvious, so this game is very important.

After the match against Athletic Bilbao, Real Madrid flew straight out of Spain the next day to Manchester, England.

This is Dongfangchen's first return to England after leaving Arsenal, and it is also the first time he has returned to Manchester. There is really an inexplicable relationship between Dongfang Chen and Manchester, and the mood of returning to Manchester Dongfang Chen is also very different.

When Real Madrid showed up at Manchester International Airport, there were a lot of Manchester fans who pulled up banners. Of course, they are not here to welcome Real Madrid, nor are they here to welcome Dongfangchen.

They came here to criticize Dongfangchen, whether it is Manchester United or Manchester City fans, they have no good impression of Dongfangchen, especially Manchester United fans. Manchester United fans and Dongfang Chen have a bitter feud.

Seeing Dongfang Chen come out, the fans at the scene immediately cursed Dongfang Chen frantically, slammed Dongfang Chen, and even some guys threw things directly at Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen had a cold face, ignored these guys, and walked directly onto the bus. The Real Madrid bus didn't stay here long and went straight to the hotel where Real Madrid was staying.

Real Madrid arrived in Manchester a day earlier and they are very serious about this game and they have to win.

Because Gareth Bale's injury did not improve, Gareth Bale stayed in Spain and did not come to England with Real Madrid.

Dongfang Chen returned to England, and immediately countless English media reporters quickly flocked to the hotel where Real Madrid was staying, and they rushed to Dongfang Chen, wanting to interview Dongfang Chen, especially the reporters in London.

In addition to these reporters, even some Arsenal fans also came to Manchester, they wanted to come to the scene to see Dongfang Chen's watch, they had not seen Dongfang Chen's game so close for a long time, they missed it strangely.

It's a really big game for Real Madrid.

Now that the first four rounds of the Champions League are over, the group is topped by Real Madrid, who now have nine points and three wins from four games. In second place is Borussia Dortmund, with seven points and two wins, one draw and one defeat in four games.

Ajax is third with one win, one draw and two losses, with four points. Manchester City, on the other hand, has four games, two draws, two losses and two points, ranking last in the group.

The situation is very dangerous for Manchester City, and even if they win their last two games, they will have to look at the faces of the other teams if they want to qualify.

But even so, the Manchester City team will not give up the last bit of chance, the last two rounds, the Manchester City team has only one goal, that is, to win both rounds, strive to create a miracle, get the right to qualify from the group.

Ajax, on the other hand, have a better chance of finishing top of the group if they win their next two games.

Of course, at this time, although Real Madrid ranked first in the group, they still failed to ensure qualification, so this game was very cruel.

With only two rounds left in the group, all four teams will be desperate and no one wants to be eliminated from the European competition.

Before this round of matches, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini said: "This game is our life and death, we have no other goal, we just have to win, we have to win!" ”

Yes, now Manchester City have been pushed to the edge of the cliff and if they don't fight again, they won't have a chance.

Manchester City are united and united, and even against a strong Real Madrid team, they will be confident of beating them and they will need to get the three points.

And Real Madrid does not want to have an accident at the last moment, and Real Madrid has only one goal in this game, that is, to win, and must win this game.
