Premier League team, Manchester City will play on Wednesday night to face La Liga’s giant, Real Madrid in the Champions league.

Real Madrid will host Manchester City at Bernabeu in the Champions League on Wednesday, and this is one of the biggest fixtures in the UCL league phase this season.

Man City is also in a mission to keep the positive trend Premier League’s teams have over La Liga side this season. Where Premier League’s clubs have more head to head wins against Spanish clubs.

Real Madrid will come with a lot of pressure after only winning one game out of five games in the La Liga, with the embarrassing defeat against Celta Vigo.

and only narrowly winning against Olympiacos, they will face another English side in Manchester City who have been very good in the league.

Manchester City have won four of their last five Premier League games and spirit is looking high in this Man City team, with Phil Foden on fire. Certainly this momentum will be an advantage for Man City facing Madrid who have some issues in their dressing room.

For Real Madrid and Manchester City head to head from the last five meetings. Real Madrid won two times, and Manchester City only won one time with three games being drawn. Certainly, Pep Guardiola wants to add more wins to their head to head since he was also competing with Madrid during his time as the manager of Barcelona.

Real Madrid will come with a long injury list this time. They will be without  Dean Huijsen, David Alaba, Eder Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal, and Ferlan Mendy. That is a long list of injuries and all of the injured players are defenders. Alaba and Huijsen are actually close to being fit, but they are not fit enough for the game against Man CIty.

It will be a hard game for Madrid, surely facing a team with a very good attacking quality with Haaland and Foden who could score in any situation.

It also looked bad in the attacking area as Kylian Mbappe also suffered injury during the match against Celta Vigo, with Eduardo Camavinga also having a setback on his fitness. It will be a long night for Madrid without many important players being sidelined in the busiest fixtures of the calendar.

For the Premier League side,, they will come without Rodri as he is still in the recovery and also Mateo Kovacic who is still sidelined even longer for his ankle injury. In the defense, they will be without Jonh Stones as he was injured last week. It could be seen as advantage for Man City as they are not losing players in many positions, and they can still play with their main man for this game.

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1)

Courtois -; Asencio; Rudiger; Carreras; Garcia -; Valverde; Tchouameni -; Mastatuonto; Bellingham; Rodrygo -; Vinicius.
