De Paul Considers Bellingham's Absence in Champions League Clash a Key Factor

In the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 between Real Madrid and Atletico, the "Whites" will be without one of their leaders, Jude Bellingham, who will miss the game due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The opponents see this loss as significant.

Details: Atletico midfielder Rodrigo De Paul stated that Bellingham's absence is indeed noticeable, but Real's squad is filled with players who have experience in such matches even without him.

Quote: “Bellingham's absence will have a big impact. This is Real Madrid, with players who have great experience. They know how to play in such competitions,” said De Paul.

Reminder: It is highly likely that Carlo Ancelotti will also be unable to count on Federico Valverde for this match.
