Overview
- Real Madrid travel to the Etihad with a 3-0 aggregate lead from the first leg, earned through Federico Valverde’s hat-trick in Madrid.
- Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham are included in Alvaro Arbeloa’s 26-man travelling squad after knee and thigh injuries kept them out of the opener.
- Mbappé trained with the group and could be used off the bench, while Real also welcome back Álvaro Carreras and David Alaba and leave out Ferland Mendy and Raúl Asencio.
- Pep Guardiola scrapped Monday training, citing the congested schedule, and said players who lack belief in a comeback should stay home.
- City will train on Tuesday before the match, with Guardiola stressing defensive solidity and a measured approach as they attempt to overturn the deficit.
