With the tie at a disadvantage but not yet decided, Real Madrid will enjoy a second chance to remedy the situation created in the first match and reach the Champions League final when they face Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Manchester City once morest the white team captured a notable superiority in the first leg, which, however, was not definitive on the scoreboard. The representative of the Premier has an advantage, although he assumes that nothing is final yet.
History is once morest the Spanish representatives. Real Madrid, who lost 4-3 at the Etihad, never got past a semi-final when they lost the first leg. Villarreal has never reached a final of the highest continental competition. The current winner of the Europa League was only once in a situation like the current one. Sixteen years ago and was eliminated by Arsenal.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which was proclaimed champion of the League on Saturday following beating Espanyol (4-0), receives Pep Guardiola’s team on Wednesday. Real Madrid left England alive despite the avalanche it suffered and the innumerable scoring chances enjoyed by Manchester City.
Real Madrid clings to the survival instinct that it already put on the table in the qualifiers once morest Paris Saint Germain and also once morest Chelsea. And once morest City itself at the Etihad where he got up from every blow received to finish with an opposing marker but honorable and accessible. And to the talent of its players, capable of reacting at the least expected moment.
Ancelotti recovers Casemiro who played an hour once morest Espanyol. He loses David Alaba who fell, precisely, in the first leg. He needs the white set of the best version of Karim Benzema that supports the team every time. Never before has the Frenchman scored more than seven Champions League goals in a single season. This time he already has double. He is four shy of Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
Manchester City, meanwhile, is close to its second final in a row in the top continental competition. The English squad, also with Pep Guardiola on its bench, already eliminated Real Madrid two seasons ago, in the round of 16. He won both matches. In Manchester and also in Madrid.
The Spanish coach recovers his sides, the Portuguese Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker, fundamental for his scheme.
