The current giants of laliga suffered a shocking deafeat to the premier league ginats during their last visit to the ethihad stadium but never accepted defeat as they still have confidence they will overturn things around
Carlo Ancelotti made alot of alterations at the weekend, meaning Real Madrid should be fresh for the second leg with Manchester City.
The laliga giants bagged their 35th La Liga title on Saturday with a comfortable 4-0 win over Espanyol.But there was an extra reason to celebrate for Carlo Ancelotti, who became the first manager to win the title in all of Europe’s ‘top five’ leagues.
Los Blancos should be fresher and well prepared than the premier league giants when they meet at the Bernabeu on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Meanwhile, Casemiro enjoyed over an hour in the victory against Espanyol and should be available when City come to home for the big clash
Per multiple reports it hasAhas been announced and clear by the coach that Alaba will miss the big clash due to injury.
The premier league Giants lead 4-3 from the first leg, with goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva giving them an advantage over Real.
But the 13-time European champions have shown a knack for sticking in Champions League ties this season and have overturned deficits against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea in the knockout stages.
This is largely down to the experienced and composed side Ancelotti has at his disposal, and here’s how we think he’ll line up on Wednesday night…
The former Chelsea stopper will be disappointed with Silva’s goal last week, but has had an impressive season.

Put in a pretty dismal display against City last week, and will need to improve if Real hope to progress.
