Only one step separates Real Madrid from the Champions League final. The Whites entrust themselves to the magic of the Bernabéu for what would be the fifth final in nine years for the Madridistas. And also to a team that arrives almost in full condition to the challenge of a new comeback, this time against Manchester City. Regarding the first leg eight days earlier at the Etihad, Ancelotti brings back Casemiro, who played as central defender in the League title certification against Espanyol. The only relevant setback that the Italian has to compose his eleven is Alaba. The Austrian center-back withdrew at half-time in the first leg when his discomfort in the adductor reproduced. The defender, in any case, has entered the call for the game.
Three players have fallen off the list of the 23 players mentioned by the Italian coach: Bale, Isco and Hazard. The Welshman continues to suffer from the discomfort in his back that prevented him from being at the title party on Saturday, the Malaga-born did not participate with the rest of his teammates in training on Tuesday while the Belgian continues with the recovery from surgery in which at the beginning of May they removed the plate that he had on his fibula.
Ancelotti, who in the first leg opted for Valverde and Rodrygo due to Casemiro’s loss, may opt this time for the Uruguayan to complete the eleven against Manchester City, in an approach similar to that of the first leg at Stamford Bridge, with the only variant of Nacho in the place of Alaba.
