Madrid squad list for UCL second leg against Man City

Tchouameni travels with the squad to the Etihad Stadium for Madrid's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City. The Frenchman is suspended after three yellow cards in previous European games this season, but his coach has decided that he will travel with the rest of the squad.

It is understandable given that this is probably the most important night of the campaign for the 'Merengues'. Guardiola's men held their opponents to a 3-3 draw in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, so the spotlight will be on their favouritism now that they have the support of their fans, who will be putting the pressure on 'Los Blancos'.

The Spanish squad, in any case, is made up of Andriy Lunin, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Fran Gonzalez; Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Nacho Fernandez, Lucas Vazquez, Fran Garcia, Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy; Jude Bellingham, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, Arda Guler; Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Joselu Mato and Brahim Diaz.

The starting eleven structure for Ancelotti is more or less settled. Lunin, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy, Bellingham, Kroos, Modric/Camavinga, Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrygo are expected to start. In midfield, it would make sense for the Italian tactician to deploy all the experience he has at his disposal because he knows that, in the past, it has been worth trophies.
