Champions League semifinal match, Real Madrid will host Manchester City.
Eder Militao of Real Madrid will be unable to participate in the upcoming matchup due to a suspension.
For the second time in the history of the English club, the in-form Citizens will face the defending champions Los Merengues in the finals.
The most effective weapon for the Manchester club will be the Norwegian forward Erling Haaland. He has scored 12 goals in eight games in the Champions League this year.
Pep Guardiola a two-time winner of the elite European football championship with Barcelona, said: “We arrive here with encouragement. We are playing really well right now. We’re just looking for another opportunity, not to exact revenge. We will prevail eventually. This season, we’ve come here to do it. Due to the fact that we played Real in this competition, it didn’t happen last year.
With regard to injuries, City is in a better position than they were the previous year. Because they have Kyle Walker and John Stones as options.
Vinicius Junior will almost certainly need to be kept quiet if Manchester City is to win this match. The Brazilian forward has improved significantly since last season. He is displaying superb skill in addition to the impressive fortitude to continue playing.
Ancelotti acknowledged that Haaland is a dangerous player and that City is an “unstoppable” team. This is because they play quality football, play solid defense, and mount creative offenses. He stated: “We’re not setting up for a game to stop Haaland, but to stop a team that seems unstoppable, but I think we can have chances to have an equal game, one that we can win.”
With the addition of Haaland, City have developed into a more complete team than they were the previous season, according to Ancelotti. As a result of their tall striker and the presence of (Kevin) De Bruyne behind him, they can now benefit more from long balls, according to the analyst.
