Real Madrid’s coaching staff has addressed speculation surrounding Marco Asensio’s absence from Saturday’s Champions League opener against Dynamo Kyiv, with assistant coach Miquel Carcedo providing insight into the tactical reasoning behind the omission. Speaking to media ahead of the match, Carcedo confirmed that the forward—known affectionately as *Barco*—will remain on the bench, citing a deliberate rotation policy rather than any fitness-related issues. The decision reflects manager Carlo Ancelotti’s preference for balancing squad workload as Madrid kick off their Champions League campaign with a visit to Kyiv’s Olympic Stadium on September 6, 2026.
