The heavyweight champions of the premier league have been faced with some injuries setbacks despite whipping the the current crowned champions of laliga in the first leg at the ethihad stadium
Pep Guardiola is set to put another record for most consecutive record into the champions league final Incase he somehow managed to beat the laliga heavyweight champions.
Legends already made their predictions ahead of the big clash to favour Manchester city in as much as they have injuries setback.
Pep Guardiola’s are gearing up for a monumentous occasion at the Bernabeu tonight as City aim to reach a second-consecutive European Cup final for the first time in their history.
The Blues have set up a huge second leg in Spain after beating La Liga’s giants 4-3 at the Etihad Stadium last week, a match which saw many twists and turns.
City’s seven-goal thriller against Real will go down as one of the best semi-final matches since the Champions League’s inception, but that was only the first half, with Guardiola now preparing his side for another crunch clash.
But it's unfortunate the premier league giants is currently have one of their finest star to be suffering from injury In terms of team news, the Premier League champions have been boosted by defender Kyle Walker’s potential availability after a lengthy lay-off.
Meanwhile, star man Joao Cancelo is also back after missing the first leg through suspension.
However, as officially confirmed, City will be without centre-back and England international John Stones through injury as the pre-Real team news emerges.
This comes as a blow given the 27-year-old’s proven ability when called upon, as evident by his stellar performances in the Champions League this season.
Stones has proven his worth in Europe whenever called upon, most recently against Atletico Madrid in the last round, with journalist Henry Winter calling him ‘absolutely magnificent’.
The stellar partnership of Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias has resulted in a lack of minutes for the Three Lions ace when compared to last year, where both Stones and Dias formed a formidable 2020/2021 duo in central defence.
Having the former Everton sensation to call upon would have been a real luxury for Guardiola though, especially in case of mid-match emergences and with the possibility of tired legs in extra time, but it appears the Spaniard will be without that option for one of City’s most crucial games of the season.
