🗞️ Team News: Real Madrid

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has some current player fitness concerns. Thibaut Courtois (Meniscus tear) and David Alaba (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered. Aurélien Tchouaméni cannot play in this game through suspension.

There’s a good chance that Los Blancos could decide to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system with a starting lineup of Andriy Lunin, Daniel Carvajal, Nacho Fernandez, Antonio Ruediger, Ferland Mendy, Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.

In this game, Manchester City will probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the same time, Real Madrid might well find it a difficult task to make a breakthrough although we do think it’s probable that they will be scoring.

We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Manchester City after 90 minutes.
