Real Madrid have nowhere else to go: the only trophy they can win this season is the Champions League, they have nothing to fall back on. And without any silverware Zinedine Zidane’s head will surely be the first to roll. There are rumors that the club will try to bring back Jose Mourinho if they don’t lift the CL in May.
The last thing that such rumors create is confidence in the players. Real Madrid now are under terrific pressure while Wolfsburg, since they carry with them a two goal lead and the fact that they prevented Madrid from scoring an away goal, can afford to be much calmer. After all, the Germans were not the favourites for this tie and nobody would critiсise them if they were to go out against Madrid.
I back the Royal club to win here, but think that they will still fail to make it through and thus Wolfsburg will qualify for the semifinals. 2:0 is a serious handicap for a team who played so well in the first leg.
