TEAM newS

Kyle Walker returns to the starting line-up as City boss Pep Guardiola makes five changes for Wednesday night’s eagerly-awaited UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg tie against Real Madrid at the Etihad.

From the side the started last Saturday’s emphatic 5-1 Premier League win over Luton Town, England full-back Walker, who hasn’t figured since being injured during the March international break, Rodrigo, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish all come into the starting line-up.

Rico Lewis, Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic, Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku revert to the bench.

Meanwhile, there’s only one change for Real Madrid tonight, with the enforced absence of Aurelien Tchouameni. Nacho plays at the heart of defence instead and captains the team.

With a place in the semi-final at stake against either Bayern Munich or Arsenal, the two side will kick-off tonight all square at 3-3 and everything still to play for after last week’s dramatic first leg encounter at the Bernabeu.

PREVIOUS MEETING

City and Real Madrid played out an exhilarating 3-3 draw in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bernardo Silva fired the visitors into the lead inside two minutes before Carlo Ancelotti’s side flipped the match on its head through a Ruben Dias own goal and a deflected prod from Rodrygo.

The Blues enjoyed the better of the second half and superb goals from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol restored our advantage.

But Federico Valverde’s well-taken volley rescued a draw as we extended our unbeaten run in the Champions League to 22 matches.

LAST TIME OUT

In our previous outing, City recorded an emphatic 5-1 Premier League win over Luton Town at the Etihad Stadium. 

A fortuitous early own goal inside two minutes gave the hosts the perfect start before further goals from Mateo Kovacic, Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Josko Gvardiol secured three precious points.
