On Tuesday evening, the stage is set for one of football’s great moments of the year. Real Madrid host Erling Braut Haaland and Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals.
As usual, Real Madrid released their line-up well before their opponent.
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 at Manchester City left-back is Manuel Akanji. Thus, the Swiss, who usually plays as a stopper, has to move to the side 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 he can play at left-back, but one-on-one against Rodrygo there could be problems, says TV 2 football pundit Morten Langli.
