Manchester City vs Real Madrid confirmed lineups Champions League semifinals
Guardiola is without Walker and Cancelo, leading him to select Stones and Zinchenko in their place.
Man City’s XI: Ederson, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Jesus
It’s another early starting line-up announcement from Ancelotti and it’s certainly an interesting one. Rodrygo starts, while Casemiro is only available from the bench.
Real Madrid’s XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Benzema
Ancelotti points to Real Madrid’s history
“I think that Real Madrid’s history in this competition is very important,” Carlo Ancelotti said in the pre-match press conference. “Our history helps the players to know what this shirt means.”
While Manchester City are yet to win a Champions League, Real Madrid have won a record 13 European Cups.
