“It’s not serious and he might have a chance for Tuesday, but we’ll have to take it one day at a time,” Giggs told reporters.

“We don’t want to take any risks with him, we are preparing for both scenarios for the Ireland game.”

Regarding Thursday’s opponents and their coach Luis Enrique, Giggs said he was ‘really impressed’ with their results against England and Croatia last month and sees the friendly as perfect preparation for Tuesday’s official encounter.

“We want to win tomorrow, but on Tuesday there will be three points in play,” he continued.

“It’s difficult but exciting to play against the best teams in the world and Luis Enrique is one of the best coaches.”

In fact, it’s not been 319 minutes since they hit the back of the net, which is over five hours.

In 2018/19, they’re only netting once every 52 minutes, quite a difference from the rate of once every 30 minutes set in 2011/12.

This is a clear evidence that the Madrid giants are missing Portuguese Super star Cristiano Ronaldo who scored 44 in 44 games last season.

The current Madrid’s trio which consists of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio, together scored 44 goals just like the now Juventus Talisman came up with last season with Bale scoring 21 goals, Benzema 12 and Asensio 11.

The question that needs to be asked is whether or not this team will be able to win tight matches if they find it difficult to score.
