Just in time for their massive Champions League showdown against Arsenal, Real Madrid has received a huge lift — Thibaut Courtois and Dani Ceballos are back.
1. Thibaut Courtois: Madrid’s Wall Returns
After struggling with muscle discomfort following his long recovery from a serious injury last season, Courtois had been in doubt for this key fixture. But now, he’s ready — and Ancelotti breathes a sigh of relief. His presence in goal could be decisive, especially with Arsenal’s firepower.
2. Dani Ceballos: From Exit Talks to Midfield Maestro
Ceballos was expected to return later, but he’s made a swift recovery and could feature at the Emirates. Once seen as expendable, the 28-year-old has turned things around to become a vital piece in Madrid’s midfield.
Ancelotti, already dealing with a packed injury list this season, will now go into one of his biggest tests of the year with two key players back in action.
All Eyes on London
With Real Madrid aiming for another Champions League semifinal, the timing couldn’t be better. Courtois brings security at the back, and Ceballos adds depth, control, and creativity.
Arsenal will be a tough nut to crack — but with Courtois and Ceballos ready, Real Madrid are far better equipped to take the fight to London.
