Real Madrid challenges Manchester City with a decimated squad this Wednesday evening. The Merengue clearly risk presenting a revised eleven for this Champions League shock.
In this article on likely lineups, let’s start with the team with the most uncertainty. Real Madrid risk presenting themselves in their worst light of the season. The injured are piling up as rarely in the Spanish capital. The Merengue will be deprived of many defensive executives like David Alaba, Dean Huijsen, Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ferland Mendy. Suffice to say that a still experimental defense is coming. We should see a Valverde – Asencio – Rüdiger – Carreras defense.
In the middle, Aurélien Tchouaméni should not move just like Jude Bellingham. AS informs that Dani Ceballos has a chance of starting in the absence of Eduardo Camavinga. Arda Güler and Vinicius Jr are expected to start, remains the enigma Kylian Mbappé. Will he be able to play? We don’t know yet. Endrick would have been tested in recent days to replace him.
Real’s likely starting XI: Courtois – Valverde – Asencio – rüdigger – tqueuaméni – Ceballos – Bellingham – Güler – Vinicius r – Endrick – Endrick
As for Manchester City, Pep Guardiola is always capable of surprises but should remain classic. His recent eleven has clearly impressed and risks being returned to Madrid. Rayan Cherki is expected to start.
XI from the probable departure from Manchester City: Donnarumma – Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly – Foden, Nico, Bernardo Silva – Doku, Haaland, Cherki
