Real Madrid predicted XI for Champions League clash with Man City

Los Blancos are expected to make changes from their win over Osasuna on Saturday.

Real Madrid travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City in the first-leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday evening.

The Spanish club will have revenge on their minds after losing to the Sky Blues over two legs in the last 16 of the competition in 2020.

Real sit top of La Liga, 15 points ahead of second-place Barcelona with five games remaining.

They come into the fixture having won four of their last five games, including a 3-1 victory over Osasuna on Wednesday.

Carlo Ancelotti will be without Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Mariano for the clash with City on Tuesday. The trio were not part of their travelling squad due to injury.

However, Casemiro and Ferland Mendy are back in contention for Los Blancos after returning to training, while David Alaba is likely to be fit after being withdrawn last week.

With that being said, we take a look at how Real could line up at the Etihad against Pep Guardiola’s side.
