In an interview with the Spanish newspaper “As”, midfielder Casemiro spoke about the great turn of the Real Madrid in front of PSG through the Champions League and stated that Mbappé was impressed by the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabéu.
“Certainly, he was impressed by the crowd. I impress myself every day. The fans supported him from start to finish and were very important in Real’s victory over PSG”, commented the Brazilian.
The midfielder also spoke about the team’s ten-point lead at the top of the Spanish Championship. For him, nothing has been defined yet and the team’s focus is on the game against Barcelona.
“There are still many games to go, 30 points at stake. Now come Barça and then nine more games. We are thinking about winning every game, starting with Barcelona. We know we have a very important advantage, but we still have a way to go,” he said.
For the classic, Karim Benzema remains doubtful, after feeling the calf against Mallorca. The Frenchman has not yet trained with the group, but is not ruled out for Sunday’s game, at 17:00 (Brasília time).
“I hope he can play because Karim is essential for us. Anyone would miss a player like him. He is at a high level of play and confident. If in the end Benzema can’t play, someone else will, but getting to the level Karim is now is not easy”, stated Casemiro.
