Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois; Valverde, Tchouameni, Asencio, Mendy; Camavinga, Ceballos, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr

Since the two sides last met, Real Madrid had a disappointing 1-1 draw with Osasuna while Man City thrashed Newcastle 4-0.
Carlo Ancelotti on Guardiola’s previous claims that City only have a 1% chance of going through: “We don’t think we have a 99% chance. We have a small advantage and we have to take advantage of it. We have to play the same game as in the first leg, because it went well.
“But we have to take into account the difficulties. We are trying to prepare well. We are not happy with what happened against Osasuna, Atletico (Madrid) – games in which we were disadvantaged and I do not understand it.
“In the last few games they [referees] have made some pretty clear mistakes. The statistics speak for themselves. In Europe there is less controversy. In the Champions League the best referees from each country officiate and the quality is very high.”
Pep Guardiola: “Every time I say what I think, you don’t believe me but this time you got it right – I lied.
“It’s true I said it because after the match in England, we were out.
“Always it’s very tough coming to the Bernabeu, with the history but we’ve had good moments here. Let’s see if we can at least scare them and we’ll see what happens.
“You have to make an almost perfect game, obviously.”
