Real Madrid continued their dominance over Atletico Madrid with a 2-0 victory in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, securing their place in the final. Making a significant contribution to this victory was Raphaël Varane, who returned to the starting lineup for the first time in three months after recovering from a right knee injury.
Varane expressed his satisfaction with his return, stating, “It’s going well,” and sharing his hopes for continued progress without any major discomfort. He highlighted his positive sensations during the match and expressed his desire to maintain his fitness for upcoming matches. Despite his injury setbacks, Varane remains determined and focused on contributing to his team’s success.
Having played only nine matches since August, including appearances for the France national team, Varane has been dealing with knee issues since last May. Following surgery and a period of rest, he has been cautious about his return to ensure he can perform at his best without risking further injury. With important competitions like La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, and the upcoming World Cup on the horizon, Varane’s dedication and commitment to his recovery and performance are evident.
