Manchester City - Real Madrid, live | Ancelotti bets on Militão instead of Rüdiger in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal

PreviousDirect

The moment of truth has arrived. Manchester City and Real Madrid will play this Wednesday (21.00, Movistar Champions League) the pass to the final of the Champions League. After the one-goal draw in the first leg of the semifinals at the Santiago Bernabeu, Skyblues and Whites meet in the second leg at the Etihad, where Madrid have never won (two draws and two defeats). In Madrid's eleven, Carlo Ancelotti bets on the return of Militão for Rüdiger, with Camavinga at left-back. Pep Guardiola instead maintains the line-up from the first leg, with Bernardo Silva, Grealish and Haaland in attack. In the final awaits a surprising Inter Milan, who last night defeated their neighbor and rival Milan.

Ancelotti: "I chose Militâo for small details"

Ancelotti: "More than eleven, they all deserved to play, but the game will be long and the bench can contribute. It's full of great players. We talk about Rudiger, who is a great player, but Militâo is also a great player. Rudiger fulfilled in the first leg and Mili can do it today. They are small details, they do not count the numbers. It's the small details. If I win it will be a success and if we lose, to the street. I expected this eleven of the City, gave rest in the Premier to some players. I think it will be a long and competitive match."

A 4-3-3 with many possibilities for Madrid

It is true that Rudiger dried Haaland in the first leg. It is also that Madrid plays very well with the 4-3-3, with Valverde giving a lot of strength to the midfield and keeping the trident untouchable in attack, which gives many goal options and arrivals to the white team. Militao has the opportunity to vindicate itself after several matches at a lower level.
