Real Madrid
Team news: Eder Militao is suspended and will miss the home leg after picking up a booking just before all preexisting yellow cards were reset for the semis. Ferland Mendy remains doubtful with his calf issue but Ancelotti has confirmed that Luka Modric will start. Aurelien Tchouameni may drop out as a result.

Possible Real XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Camavinga; Valverde, Kroos, Modric; Rodrygo, Benzema (c), Vinicius Jr.
Man City
Team news: Nathan Ake has a hamstring problem and has missed training, so he’s doubtful. Meanwhile Rodri, John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish should all return after Pep Guardiola rotated his players over the weekend in the win over Leeds.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side have already progressed beyond two English clubs in the knockout rounds, showing all of their competition-winning acumen in beating Liverpool and Chelsea.

But the Spanish capital club know they will face a significantly stronger side with the Premier League leaders in town.

Manchester City are in outstanding form and desperately covet the continental crown that has so far eluded them.

Team news

Real Madrid are dealing with a couple of defensive issues, with Eder Militao suspended for this fixture and Ferland Mendy still battling a calf injury. Luka Modric should, however, be fit to start after overcoming his hamstring issue to feature in the Copa del Rey win on Sunday.

Kevin De Bruyne returned to the starting Manchester City side against Leeds in a timely boost for Pep Guardiola, though Nathan Ake’s second half substitution during that encounter is cause for concern. The Dutch defender’s hamstring injury could rule him out.

Predicted line-ups

Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Camavinga; Valverde, Modric, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji; Stones, Rodri; Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland.
