- Final Before The Final in Manchester
Manchester City welcome Real Madrid to the Etihad on Wednesday night for the second leg of their UCL semifinal tie.
Last week in Madrid, City had to dig deep to earn a 1-1 draw, but they are now favourites to qualify, with many tipping the English champions to take full advantage of playing in front of their own fans.
Outstanding strikes from Vinícius Júnior and Kevin Debruyne lit up the first leg, but it could get even more tactical and fierce in Manchester on Wednesday.
Team News
Real Madrid have a clean injury list, with no players sustaining any injury over the weekend. Militao will return for Los Blancos after missing last week’s action due to suspension.
City also have no fresh injury concerns, although Nathan Ake is still injured. Guardiola rested Kevin De Bruyne against Everton, so the Belgian will be fresh and ready to fire against Madrid tomorrow.
