While the Galaxy will meet German powerhouse Dormont in the Europa League summit clash at dawn on June 2, the La Liga giants have suffered an unfavorable turn of events. Manager Carlo Ancelotti regretfully announced that midfield centerpiece Cao Yaweni will not be able to participate in the battle of the century due to injury. Cao Yaweni, who has made great achievements for the team this season, has kept the team undefeated in 31 matches, and his absence makes Real Madrid seem to have lost that "guardian god" like defense line.
Ahead of Real Madrid's La Liga home game against Betis in the early hours of Sunday morning (26th), Carlo Ancelotti revealed the extent of Caio Avone's injury and said that he would not be able to play in the remaining two matches: "Caio Avone can only train individually. I believe he will not be able to attend the Europa League final. As to whether he will be able to represent the French national team in the Europa League, further observation is needed."
Cao Yaveney has missed three consecutive matches since his injury against Bayern Munich in the first three rounds of the Europa League, while another French international, Kamayunga, has filled the void left by Cao Yaveney in the defensive midfield. It is expected that Kamayunga will continue to occupy a key position in the Europa League final.
According to "transfer expert" reporter Fabrizio Romano, 24-year-old Cao Yaweni played 38 matches for Real Madrid this season, contributing 38 goals and 1 assist, as a 31-time starter, Real Madrid achieved an excellent record of 25 wins and 6 losses, undefeated. Therefore, Cao Yaveney's absence will undoubtedly be a big loss for Real Madrid's fight for the UEFA Champions League title.
