Marca: Militao gives Real Madrid defensive strength before Bayern return leg

Marca say Militao has regained key fitness levels and given Real Madrid extra defensive solidity.

Spanish reports say Eder Militao is moving closer to taking on a bigger defensive role for Real Madrid in the second leg against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

According to Marca, the defender's physical condition has improved significantly, and his recent involvement gave the team added defensive solidity, which could encourage the coaching staff to rely on him more heavily in the upcoming match.

That update comes after Real Madrid's 2-1 first-leg defeat, leaving defensive balance as one of the main issues the team are trying to address before the return meeting with Bayern.
