Good news to rest for two weeks in the second half of February, still alive in the World Cup and immersed in a League in which Real Madrid alone will not be able to concentrate. In the draw on February 27th, the culés will meet their rival from March (10-11 and 17-18) with the elections on March 15th in between. He will leave the intersection between <strong>PSG </strong>(11th) or <strong>Newcastle </strong>(12th) and <strong>Monaco </strong>(21) or <strong>Karabagh</strong> (22nd).
