Real Madrid Team News
Carlos Ancelotti has major decisions to make as Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final next week. Los Blancos will trust that both David Alaba and Casemiro can begin the second leg of the match against Manchester City , so it would be an immense surprise to see either this end of the week. Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy are likewise to be rested.
Nacho and Eder Militao are both suspended, so Jesus Vallejo could start alongside Rafa Marin in the defense. Luka Modric could likewise exit the midfield to permit Eduardo Camavinga to begin. However, Ancelotti’s biggest call includes Benzema, who has partaken in a momentous mission for the club.
The France international has had his physical issues as of late, so it wouldn’t be an amazement to see him start on the bench, with Rodrygo, Marco Asensio, and Vinicius Junior possibly playing as a front three. Meanwhile, Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, and Mariano Diaz will miss out due to their injury issues.
