Rudi García, for his part, repeats the same eleven that fell to Juventus, but managed to qualify for the quarterfinals. Depay, with six goals in the competition, remains the spearhead of the French. In Dutch, in addition, he has already scored in six consecutive Champions League games.
Guardiola makes a single modification with respect to the eleven that faced Real Madrid. Foden will stay on the bench, to introduce Eric García, who will accompany Laporte as centrals. Fernandinho, who acted as such against the whites, will start from the center of the field. Gabriel Jesus and Sterling, attacking couple for tonight, have six goals each in this edition of the Champions League. Agüero remains unsubscribed.
Notably, tonight's winner will face Bayern in the semi-finals.
The English come to this game with a special motivation, after leaving Real Madrid on the road. Lyon, meanwhile, surprised many by eliminating Cristiano's Juventus, asserting the victory of the first leg.
Pep Guardiola faces, in turn, a personal challenge as a coach, that of qualifying for his first European semi-final since 2016, when he did it with Bayern. With City, the Catalan has already been eliminated three times before the semifinals, against Monaco in the round of 16 (2017), and against Liverpool and Tottenham in the quarters (2018 and 2019). If he qualified today, Guardiola would reach his eighth semi-final, which would be the record of a coach in the competition shared with José Mourinho.
Manchester City have reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Their last and only presence in a Champions League semi-final dates back to 2016, when the citizen team, led by Manuel Pellegrini, fell to Real Madrid. The English have only lost one of their last 17 Champions League matches (13W 3E).
This will be the third meeting in the Champions League between Manchester City and Lyon; No team has faced the English more times in competition without winning than Lyon (2P 0V 1E 1D). However, Rudi García's men are the first French team to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League since Monaco in 2016-17, and their first presence in this phase of the competition since 2009-10, when they reached the semifinals eliminating to Bordeaux, and then fell to Bayern, a possible rival in case of winning tonight.
The French, on the other hand, will jump onto the pitch with: Anthony Lopes – Denayer, Marcelo, Marçal – Dubois, Caqueret, Bruno Guimaraes, Aouar, Cornet – Toko Ekambi and Depay.
Let's go with the initial eleven on each side! The citizen team will start with the following eleven: Ederson – Walker, Eric García, Laporte, Cancelo – Rodri, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne – Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
Good evening and welcome to the broadcast of the match between Manchester City and Lyon, for the last place in the semifinals of the Champions League! We started!
