The Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, one of the most anticipated matches in European football, is just hours away. Before this important duel, the "City Xtra" portal presented the possible starting lineup of the "Citizens."
Pep Guardiola's side defeated Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday, securing their next three points. Real Madrid suffered an unexpected defeat against Celta Vigo in La Liga, putting themselves in an awkward position. This match is of serious importance for the Spanish giant - in particular, it is emphasized that it could influence Xabi Alonso's future with the team.
Regarding the estimated lineup, Gianluigi Donnarumma is most likely expected to be at the goal. The Italian goalkeeper, who joined the team in the summer, quickly gained Guardiola's trust and became a key player.
It is considered appropriate to rely on Mateusz Nunes, who has been highly active in recent games on the right wing. Despite Abdukodir Khusanov's speed and rough pressing, it is noted that the Portuguese footballer is currently in better form.
In central defense, the duo of Ruben Dias and Yoshko Guardiol is noted as the most likely option. Niko Oraili is expected to play on the left wing.
Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez are expected to play in midfield. Of course, the role of Phil Foden in the starting lineup, who is having a great season, is undeniable - he has become one of the most stable and reliable players in the team.
The attack line is being formed with a very destructive lineup: Ryan Scherky, who can cause serious headaches in the opponent's defense, moves on the right wing, while Jeremy Docu, who amazes fans with his speed and technical skills, moves on the left wing. In the center, undoubtedly, Erling Haaland is the team's main goalkeeping machine.
The approximate composition provided by City Xtra is as follows:
Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Guardiol, O'Reilly, Silva, Gonzalez, Foden, Doco, Scherky, and Haaland.
In short, the situation of both teams before the clash is the focus of serious attention. This game will undoubtedly be a real show for football fans.
