Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid players defeated Osasuna 2:1 in the last competitive game, in the Copa del Rey final. They took the lead in the second minute of the match, the scorer was Rodrygo, and the assistant was Vinicius Junior. Osasuna equalized in the 58th minute, and the final result was set by Rodrygo again who brought a new title to his team.
In LaLiga, Real Madrid occupies the third position in the table with 68 points won, and they are even 14 points away from the first-placed Barcelona. In the last four competitive games, they recorded two wins and two losses.
The home team will be without the services of Eder Militao, as the Brazilian international received two yellow cards in the quarter-final match against Chelsea and is suspended for the first leg of this year’s semi-final. The left-back, Ferland Mendy, has a problem with a calf injury and is a question mark for the next duel. Also, coach Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on the injured Dani Ceballos. All other players will be at his disposal.
Luka Modrić missed the previous two league matches, but came off the bench in the cup final and is expected to be the starter in the next match. He is likely to replace Aurelien Tchouamenia, while Antonio Rudiger is likely to join David Alaba in the central line in place of Eder Militao. Eduardo Camavinga, who can boast of having won all possible trophies with Real Madrid at the age of less than 20, should continue his episode in the position of improvised left-back. There should be no other changes.
Manchester City Team News
This weekend, the citizens continued their unbeaten streak in all competitions, and they recorded their last triumph at home against Leeds 2:1. Both goals were scored by the 27th minute, Ilkay Gundogan was the double scorer, and Riyad Mahrez beat him both times. The German representative had a chance for a hat-trick in the 84th minute but missed the penalty. The away team scored a consolation goal just a minute later after a missed penalty. Until the end of the game, the score remained unchanged.
Manchester City have tied as many as 20 games in all competitions in which they have not been defeated, registering as many as 17 victories and only three draws. In the Premier League, they took first place from Arsenal and have 82 points won, one more than the Gunners, but also a game less. In the FA Cup, they eliminated Sheffield United in the semi-finals by 3:0, and in the fight for a new trophy, their opponent will be Manchester United.
As for the injured players, coach Pep Guardiola is unlikely to be able to count on Nathan Ake, after he left the match in the 53rd minute due to a hamstring injury in the previous match against Leeds. In addition to him, Cole Palmer will also not be available, but he probably wouldn’t even be in the plan for the starting 11. All the other players are ready to welcome the semi-final duel with Real Madrid.
Compared to the previous match, in which the Spanish expert rested several starters, Rodri, John Stones, Bernardo Silva, and Jack Grealish are expected to return to the starting line-up, as well as Kyle Walker, who should play a role in stopping Vinicius Junior. From the very beginning of the match, we expect the best scorer of Manchester City, Erling Haaland.
