Team News
Real Madrid
Real Madrid boss Ancelotti took a risk rushing David Alaba back for the first leg following his injury woes, and the Austrian was taken off at half time at the Etihad and subsequently missed the title-clinching win over Espanyol alongside Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Luka Jovic.

Ancelotti affirmed last week that Alaba ought to be fine to line up for the second leg this week, where Eder Militao and Nacho Fernandez will also return from domestic suspensions to form a first-choice Blancos rearguard.

The likes of Benzema, Vinicius, Toni Kroos and Ferland Mendy were all benched at the weekend with this encounter in mind, and Rodrygo will hope to keep his place in the final third after starting in the first leg and bagging a brace against Espanyol.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

Manchester City
As far as Man City are concerned, Guardiola will welcome Joao Cancelo back with open arms following his first-leg suspension, but the Catalan coach has admitted that Kyle Walker's ankle problem could keep him out for the remainder of the season.

Nathan Ake trudged off with a knock in the win over Leeds and will need to be assessed alongside John Stones, so it could be another restless evening for Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left of the City defence.

De Bruyne, Silva and Riyad Mahrez are all primed to return to the first XI after being named among the substitutes at Elland Road, while Real's nemesis Gabriel Jesus prepares to spearhead the charge amid his hot streak of goalscoring form.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Jesus, Foden
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-2 Manchester City (Man City win 6-5 on aggregate)
