Real Madrid visits Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, in a duel in which the Whites aspire to get the tie on track at the Etihad Stadium while caressing the League at home.
‘Merengues’ and ‘Citizens’ meet again for a place in the final of the maximum continental tournament, after their duel in 2016.
On that occasion, Real Madrid beat City and ended up winning the final against Atlético at the San Siro to lift the first of the three consecutive ‘Orejonas’ that they would win with Zinedine Zidane.
Real Madrid wants to surprise on a visit
The current king of Europe with thirteen trophies, the white team seeks to continue making history in the tournament, just like City, who aspire to lift their first European Cup.
After losing in the final last year against Chelsea, the English team hopes to get into another one to try to reach a trophy that eludes them, like their coach Pep Guardiola.
The Catalan, winner of two ‘Orejonas’ with Barça, has not lifted that trophy since he left the Barça team in 2013.
On Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium, Real Madrid and City will once again seek to take the first step towards the long-awaited Champions League final.
The white team will also do so with an eye on the League, for which they need a single point and which they could win next weekend.
Manchester City has doubts
City then lost the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool, but comes into the game after two convincing victories against Brighton (3-0) and Watford (5-1) in the Premier, where Gabriel Jesús distinguished himself with four goals .
“We want to compete against them (Real Madrid), it’s a great test,” Guardiola said at a press conference on Monday.
The ‘citizen’ coach faces the game with doubts in the defensive line, where Joao Cancelo is sanctioned for accumulating bookings, and his two natural substitutes on the right side John Stones and Kyle Walker are in discomfort.
“Kyle (Walker) hasn’t trained for the last 10 days, John (Stones) hasn’t trained since Brighton. That’s why I don’t know if they will train. We’ll see how they feel and tomorrow we’ll make a decision,” Guardiola said at a press conference on Monday.
