On Tuesday night, the stage was set for one of the best football highlights of the year. Real Madrid welcome Erling Braut Haaland and Manchester City to the semifinals of the Champions League.
As usual, Real Madrid released their lineup long before their opponents.
Carlo Ancelotti has selected the following teams: Thibaut Courtois – Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Antonio Rüdiger, Eduardo Camavinga – Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric – Rodrygo, Karim Benzema, Vinicius JR.
Bench: Lunin, López, Vallejo, Nacho, Hazard, Asensio, Odriozola, Vazquéz, Tchouameni, Ceballos and Mariano.
The man who is gaining confidence as a left-back for Manchester City is Manuel Akanji. Thus, the Swiss player, who usually plays as a stopper, had to move sideways to stop Rodrygo.
Pep Guardiola has selected the following teams: Ederson – Kyle Walker, John Stones, Rúben Dias, Manuel Akanji – Rodri, Ilkay Gündogan, Kevin de Bruyne – Bernardo Silva, Erling Braut Haaland, Jack Grealish.
Bench: Ortega, Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Foden, Palmer and Lewis.
– Akanji showed against Arsenal that he can play at left back, but one on one against Rodrygo, there could be a problem, says TV 2 football pundit Morten Langli.
