Just before the meeting with Liverpool in the quarterfinals of the Champions League tonight (Tuesday, 22:00), in bad news for Real Madrid.
The club announced a few hours before the game that the brakeman Rafael Varane was positive in the Corona test he conducted this morning and will not participate in the important game.
The Frenchman will probably also miss the Clasico match against Barcelona on Saturday in the La Liga, and he is in doubt about the fateful rematch against the Englishmen of Jürgen Klopp next week at Anfield.
After two seasons in which Real Madrid were eliminated in the quarterfinals, this season the Blancos have returned to the last 8 of the European factory and tonight will meet Liverpool for the first of two games in a battle for a ticket to the semi-finals. In the league Real is in third place with 3 points less than the leading Atletico Madrid, and two less than the second Barcelona in the table.
