The Real Madrid has fallen in the day 16 of LaLiga in front of the Villarreal in a controversial marked meeting by the penaltis and the videoarbitraje. However, one of the most interesting data that has left the commitment did not produce during the 90 minutes, but near of an hour before when Carlo Ancelotti gave to know the alignment of the team of the capital, that in more than a century of history had not jumped to the field without Spanish players.
Previously, the group merengue had finished meetings without footballers of Spanish origin, but never had gone out with an eleven conformed by foreigners in his whole. The absences of Dani Carvajal, the one who comes to suffer an injury, and Marco Asensio, with few options to see minutes in attack, those who came to be headlines carried to the míster to jump with this eleven in front of the Villarreal in the Stadium of The Ceramics.
In concrete, the Real Madrid jumped to the terrain of game with three pertinent players of France like the nation with more representatives in the staff (Karim Benzema, Ferland Mendy and Aurélien Tchouaméni), two Germans (Toni Kroos and Antonio Rüdiger), two Brazilians (Éder Militao and Vinicius Júnior), whereas the rest of effective also represented to other nations: David Praises (Austria), Thibaut Courtois (Belgium), Luka Modric (Croatia) and Fede Valverde (Uruguay).
Of this way, the merengues put end to a series of 4.435 clashes with at least a Spanish player in the eleven initial, that previously had not broken in spite of the multiple injuries, sanctions and other drops that has faced the Real Madrid along his history. Besides, the fact to have few local players also has propiciado that these have been absent in the commitment.
The Madrid already had finished parties without Spaniards
The nearest antecedent to a fact of this type took place during the past edition of the League of Champions, later conquered by the whites. It occurred during the first phase of the continental tournament in the party in front of the Sheriff Tiraspol. For then yes there was a Spanish player in the eleven initial (Lucas Vázquez), but when being substituted would not remain any another effective venue in the eleven of Carlo Ancelotti.
