Real Madrid vs Manchester City: match preview
After beating Leeds in the Premier League at the weekend, and with the FA Cup final to come in June, Manchester City remain on course for an historic treble – but everybody knows the one Pep Guardiola really wants is the Champions League. The former Barcelona manager hasn't lifted European football's most prestigious trophy since he parted ways with Messi and co, but the Cityzens are arguably the form team in Europe at the moment, with an unbeaten run that stretches back 20 games to the start of February. They've also won three of their last four meetings with Real Madrid. Can they make it four out of five tonight?
Pep rested a number of key players against Leeds on Saturday but one who has kept his place tonight is Ilkay Gundogan, who scored both of City's goals and should've had a hat-trick. Akanji also starts again, with John Stones, Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva returning to the side. Mahrez, Alvarez and Laporte drop to the bench, while Ake misses out through injury.
Real Madrid's recent form is less impressive, with two defeats in their last four games, but they have already lifted one trophy this season, beating Osasuna on Saturday to win the Copa Del Rey for the 20th time. With Barcelona 14 points clear in La Liga, though, Carlo Ancelotti's side can now focus all their attentions on defending their Champions League title. The Spanish giants have already brushed aside two English teams in the competition's knockout stages this season, with clean sheets in their last three games, but that record will be seriously tested when Man City and their long-haired Norwegian goalbot arrive tonight.
There are just two changes to the side that won the Copa Del Rey, with Modric and Rudiger in for Tchouameni and Militao. The latter doesn't even feature on a bench that includes former Chelsea man Eden Hazard.
