Manchester City will look to go again after the 1-1 draw they earned at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Ahead of the continental tie, City will look to tighten their grip on the Premier League title with four games to go. They are one point ahead of Arsenal… with a game in hand and will face Everton. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach touched on a number of topics, but without focusing too much on the Real Madrid game. “I don’t understand it, but I have to adapt. I’m not going to fight any more. The schedule is what it is,” Guardiola explained in his pre-match press conference.
“I’m sure the Premier League wants to help the teams. The problem is the schedule, the number of games there are. “I think we cannot play on Saturday because there is Eurovision and there are not enough police to handle two important events at the same time.” When pushed on his annoyance, Guardiola was asked whether he felt LaLiga Santander are more helpful to their teams than the English top-flight. “There are a lot of competitions, there are a lot of games in all the calendars. That’s the problem, I don’t think the problem is LaLiga or the Premier League,” he declared. “In Germany or France, they play on Friday and we have to play when they tell us, that’s not going to change.
“Now we have five days after only four days. Tomorrow we will see the team, we will talk to the physios and the coaching staff and we will decide. We have a lot of games to play.” City have had a long season, with the club eyeing winning a treble that Manchester United achieved back in 1999. With this in mind, Guardiola believes his team to have more than enough energy in reserve to fight for all the titles on offer. “Winning helps you to be better. If you get the mentality back you are in a good position,” he concluded.Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that influential Real Madrid trio Karim Benzema, Rodrygo and David Alaba are major doubts for next week’s Champions League semi-final second-leg against Manchester City.
City and Madrid shared a high-quality 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu this week ahead of next week’s deciding second leg, but were given a blow when Benzema, Rodrygo and Alaba did not train on Saturday having picked up knocks against City.Real Madrid could only manage a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final tie at Santiago Bernabeu. As a result, they will have all to play for in the second leg away from home, as they chase their fifteenth European crown. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola’s side still search for their first one.
At this stage, it does feel like Manchester City have a slight advantage going into the second leg. They will have the home advantage and that has proven to be vital in cup competitions over the years. At the same time though, it would be a mistake to count this Real Madrid side out in any situation. They have the experience of dealing with every kind of challenge and are the defending European champions for a reason. Real Madrid have been handed a worry though. As it looks like three of their key players picked up knocks in the first leg against Manchester City.Eduardo Camavinga asked to come off during Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Getafe at the Bernabéu on Saturday night, four days before the Champions League semi-final second-leg clash with Manchester City.
The France international went to the ground in pain after a challenge from Getafe’s Juan Iglesias in the 84th minute of the LaLiga fixture. The initial signs were worrying. Carlo Ancelotti had just ordered his fifth substitution, which was going to be Marco Asensio, but Camavinga stopped him, asking to come off instead. He then went to the bench as Álvaro Odriozola replaced him and was seen with a bag of ice on his leg.He sat down and was quickly surrounded by doctors and team-mates, who were all concerned about the situation. Camavinga pointed to his left knee, looking at the sky in some discomfort. Asensio stayed on and Camavinga headed for the tunnel, limping.
AS understands from club sources that he felt “a strange twist” in his left knee. After the victory, Madrid boss Ancelotti said: “It’s just a blow. He’s 20 years old, he’ll recover very soon!”. The versatile midfielder will undergo an MRI scan on Sunday to determine the full extent of the injury. It remains to be seen if he will be fit for the Etihad on Wednesday. Former Liverpool player Stan Collymore has backed Real Madrid to beat Manchester City when both teams clash in the Champions League semi-final second-leg tie at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.
Man City drew 1-1 with Real Madrid in the first-leg tie at the Santiago Bernabeu last Tuesday. Speaking to Caught Offside, Collymore predicted that Real Madrid would beat Man City 2-1. He said: “Manchester City will be clear favourites, especially as they will be playing at home, but with that comes a whole heap of pressure, and this situation in Europe is not something the club are overly familiar with, so it is going to be interesting to see how it plays out. “It is tough to call a winner, but given Madrid’s rich history in this competition and how they believe the Champions League is their trophy, I am going to say the Spaniards will nick it 2-1 on the night.”
