At 3:00 a.m. on May 5, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid will face Manchester City at home. In the first leg, Real Madrid trailed Manchester City 3-4 away and Ancelotti hopes to complete the turnover at home.
Real Madrid have already won La Liga early last week and the team has focused all their attention on the Champions League this season. In the first leg against Manchester City, although they conceded 4 goals, Real Madrid also scored 3 goals. The suspense of the game is still very big.
According to Marca and Sky Sports, Real Madrid's starting lineup has surfaced. Ancelotti made some rotations in the last round of the league. At present, Real Madrid has a certain injury, and Alaba is likely to not be able to catch up with this game. In this case, in the goalkeeper position is Thibaut Courtois, in the back line it is Carvajal at right-back, in the two centre-backs it is Nacho and Militão, and in the left-back position it is Mendy.
Still a classic ceremonial midfielder in midfield, Tony Kroos, Modric and Casemiro will start together. On the attacking line, the left winger is Vinicius, the right winger is Valverde, and in the center position it is Benzema. Real Madrid want to turn the tables, it depends on the performance of Benzema, he is the absolute thigh of Real Madrid this season, he has made 10 appearances in the Champions League this season, scoring 14 goals and assisting 1 goal. Rodrigo will be waiting for an opportunity on the bench, he will be Ancelotti's super substitute, he has been in good shape lately, scoring twice in the last round of the league.
