Madrid’s doubts
On his side, he Madrid to the shock with everything. carlo Ancelotti has recovered in record time Eduardo Camavinga, who injured his knee against Getafe on Saturday, but who It will be in the Etihad. Yes indeed, it remains to be seen if he can play as a starter on the left, or if so David Alaba holding his position. If that happensAntonio Rudiger, who was one of the most outstanding footballers in the first leg and whom Ancelotti has already confirmed will start again, barring surprise, would end up in the center of the defense together with Eder Militao, back after suspension in the first round. Will be on the right Dani Carvajal, with Thibaut Courtois in goal.
In the meantime, the another big dilemma for ‘Carletto’. The technician dared Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Fede Valverdeon a high-carat midfield, but there is also the possibility that forward Valverde’s position and put Aurélien Tchouaméni and even Camavinga himself in the middle, to have a little more grip. If that happened, the ‘Pajarito’ would play up front with Karim Benzema and the incombustible Vinicius Junior, hence Rodrygo Goes would become the main victim of the starting eleven. Although that is true: Ancelotti would save himself with thisa fantastic trick for the second half, with their sights on surprising city with the speed and freshness of the Brazilian, who always grows in key moments, in case it didn’t start.
