Real Madrid hosts Manchester City on Matchday 6 of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 this Wednesday, December 10, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, with kickoff at 21:00 CET.
This clash between former European champions promises intensity, with Real Madrid sitting fifth in the table and City ninth, both aiming to secure a higher position to avoid the playoffs. Los Blancos come into the game after a 0-2 defeat to Celta Vigo in LaLiga, while the Citizens arrive with three consecutive wins in the Premier League.
Team News: Real Madrid and Manchester City

(muscular), David Alaba (muscular) and Eduardo Camavinga (ankle).
Kylian Mbappe is doubtful due to muscle discomfort and a fractured finger, although he may still play with limitations; he has scored 25 goals this season.

Erling Haaland is in top form with 20 goals this season (15 in the Premier League and 5 in the Champions League), leading a deadly attack alongside Foden and Doku. Pep Guardiola's side remains unbeaten away from home in the Champions League.
