Team News

Real Madrid:

Real Madrid face the tie with significant injury concerns. Kylian Mbappé is sidelined with a knee injury, while Jude Bellingham remains out due to a hamstring problem. Rodrygo has been ruled out long-term with a knee ligament injury, and defenders Éder Militão and David Alaba are also unavailable. Midfielder Dani Ceballos and defender Álvaro Carreras are additional absentees, leaving Madrid with a thinner squad for the first leg.

The good news for the Spanish giants is the return of Eduardo Camavinga, who is expected to strengthen the midfield alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni and captain Federico Valverde.

Manchester City:

Manchester City travel to Madrid in strong condition, with Erling Haaland returning to full fitness and expected to lead the attack. Guardiola’s side has also integrated new signings such as Marc Guéhi and Antoine Semenyo, who could feature in the starting lineup. However, Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovačić, and Max Alleyne are among the players unavailable for the match.
