Real Madrid host Manchester City in a decisive Champions League game, even if it’s only the first leg of the Round of 16. Key players like Álvaro Carreras, Jude Bellingham or Kylian Mbappé will miss this game, so coach Álvaro Arbeloa will have to make some crucial decisions about his starting lineup. Will Mendy start another game on the left side of the defensive line? Could Camavinga play in that spot and then Thiago Pitarch start in the midfield?
PREDICTED LINEUPS:
Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois,
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Huijsen, Mendy, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Arda Güler, Vinicius, Gonzalo García.
Manchester City predicted XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Guehi, Aït-Nouri, Rodri, O’Reilly, Cherki, Silva, Semenyo, Haaland.
