Manchester City owns a squad loaded with elite talent, including Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne, and the prolific Erling Haaland, who remains a central figure in their attack.

Leipzig looks to seize its moment

RB Leipzig, guided by Marco Rose, also wants to grab this opportunity and perform in front of their home fans. The squad features world-class players such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Timo Werner, Josko Gvardiol, and Christopher Nkunku. Spaniard Dani Olmo adds quality when fit, though his injury status remains uncertain for the tie.
