Without Tchouameni, Nacho. And the rest of the team recites at a run, because it will be the gala. The heaviest artillery for the fiercest battle of the entire season. There was only the doubt about the central defender, opened last week after learning of Ancelotti’s interest in having Militao play. The options were rushed and the possibilities were squeezed, but in the end it was not to be. The Brazilian’s presence seems hasty. Going from nowhere to Haaland, a chimera. So the solution, in the absence of Tchouameni (sanctioned for accumulation of cards) will be Nacho. A captain in full redemption.
Possible lineups for Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League.Diario AS
Lunin, who has been the starter since January 27, in Gran Canaria, will remain under the sticks. Since then, 14 consecutive starts. His mistake on the first leg forces him to make a claim on the return leg. Carvajal and Mendy will be on the sides (the Frenchman, precisely, was present in City’s last defeat, at home, in a Champions League match; a 1-2 with Lyon, on September 19, 2018). And in the center of the defense, Rüdiger, the ‘anti-Haaland’, this time present at the Etihad (his absence from him last year caused a lot of talk).

Camavinga, the padlock
In the center of the field, without Tchouameni, the mystery is resolved: Camavinga will be the lock. Luxury escort from Kroos, at the helm and with the arrival of Valverde and Bellingham (one of the worst in the first leg and, also, wanting to hit the table). Above, the Brazilians, Vinicius and Rodrygo. Ancelotti has four warned that, if they see a yellow card and qualify, they would not play in the first leg of the semis: Carvajal, Camavinga, Bellingham and Vinicius. Given this scenario, Real Madrid’s possible eleven against Manchester City is made up of: Lunin; Carvajal, Rüdiger, Nacho, Mendy; Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham; Rodrygo and Vinicius.
