Euskaraz irakurri: Manchester City vs Real Madril, Gaur, Etihad Stadium futbol-zelaian

The real Madrid starts this Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City (9:00 p.m.), in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, the key week of the season, in which he could celebrate his alirón in LaLiga Santander and in which he longs to get his ticket for the end of May 28 in Paris.

Carlo Ancelotti He hopes to recover two key men such as central defender David Alaba and midfielder Casemiro, with more doubts about the presence of the midfielder to form the midfield together with more rested Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. If the Austrian cannot be there, Nacho would enter the rear along with Eder Militao, who returns after serving a penalty, Dani Carvajal and a Ferland Mendy who has recovered, and if the Brazilian is absent, it would be necessary to see how the team configures the Italian technician.

Above, there will be no lack of the dynamic duo formed by the French Karim Benzema, scorer of 12 goals this year in the continental competition and who has scored seven goals in the last three European duels, with two hat-tricks, and Vinicius, willing to take advantage of any doubts he may have keep your rival behind.

In front, the City seeks to claim a new Spanish victim after eliminating, with great difficulty, Atlético de Madrid in the quarterfinals. A solitary goal from Kevin de Bruyne allowed him to travel with an advantage to the Wanda Metropolitano, where Diego Pablo Simeone’s men knew how to extinguish his virtues and forced him to defend a 0-0 racano that gave him the pass to the next round.

Pep Guardiola, who already eliminated Real Madrid also with FC Barcelona in the 2010-2011 campaign, but who was shaken with Bayern in 2013-2014, with Carlo Ancelotti on the bench, 5-0 on aggregate, aspires to reach his second consecutive final of the top competition, which has eluded him during his adventure on the German bench and at City.
