Milan has the low tonight of the Portuguese star
The rain has left Milan, but the cold is out for tonight's big match at San Siro. A few hours for a great duel, the national news radio and television focus on the classic. Pictures of past encounters happen again and again overlays with a clock that announces the hours, minutes and seconds that remain before the start. [On graph: Milan-Real Madrid]
The Real Madrid hotel an atmosphere of, say, serene expectation. Aware that today we can give a tremendous impetus to the classification of the group in the Champions League, Jorge Valdano, Miguel Pardeza and Emilio Butragueño animated stories discussed yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Naturally, the Italians are rubbing their hands remembering the victory of October 21 at the Bernabeu, but rather that, again, Real Madrid can not count on your big star. It is Cristiano Ronaldo, and even take time to reappear. The Portuguese will not be either next Saturday in another match indicated, unless there is a recovery at present unimaginable.
Ronaldo still recovering from his injured right ankle, which occurred on September 30 in the Champions League encounter against Marseille. Cristiano since then has not returned to training camp. In the best case, if begin to run tomorrow, would be only three days of preparation, thus negating any logical choice to send to derby Calderon.
