Manchester City prepares for a rematch with Real Madrid

The worst news for Real Madrid about what happened this Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu is this Manchester City has plenty of room for improvement. Pep Guardiola’s men were unable to field their gala team in the first leg of the quarterfinals and will be able to recover several important players for next Wednesday’s duel, as well as having a stronghold in the Etihad Stadium.

City have not lost at their stadium since December 2022, when they lost 1-2 to Brentford, they add forty games in a row without losing among all competitions. In the Champions League, Guardiola’s team has not lost since 10 December 2018, when Olympique Lyon beat them, so in total they have accumulated thirty games without defeat at the Etihad. Eight unbeaten duels are missing from equaling the historical record held by Barcelona, ​​​​obtained between 2013 and 2020.

With the memory of what happened last season still vivid, in one of the best victories in City’s European history, the ‘Sky Blues’ can cling to optimism more than ever.

Why Kevin de Bruyne will be recovered Already from the stomach problems that left him out in the last minute of the first leg and he will start in place of Mateo Kovacic. Kyle Walker He will have an extra week to recover and if he has done individual work in recent days it is hoped that he will be able to return to the group.

With the English winger on the pitch, images like that of Rodrygo’s second goal, which pushed Manuel Akanji away and caught City by surprise, will be difficult to repeat.

with the archer Ederson There is also a lot of optimism. The Brazilian was on the bench against Crystal Palace and against Real Madrid: he should be on the bench this weekend against Luton Town and, it is believed, also against Ancelotti’s team. Although the German Stefan Ortega has not performed too badly, the truth is that he has conceded three goals against Meringues, two against Palace and one against Aston Villa in the last three duels.

The final unknown is Nathan Ake. The Dutchman has been Pep Guardiola’s favorite left-back this season and, although Josko Gvardiol scored a great goal from outside the area to momentarily give the Citizens the lead, if Aké is healthy he will start ahead of the Croatian.

Not finishing the first leg with opportunities from Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham already at 2-1 on the scoreboard could cost Real Madrid a draw, as City were visibly affected in that part of the second half of the first leg, away its best level. In the rematch, Guardiola’s men will have the opportunity to confirm this.
