Erling Haaland: Pep Guardiola has no response to reports linking the striker to Man City
Follow all the actions while Manchester City hosts Real Madrid in the first match of the Champions League semifinals.
Pep Guardiola’s team kept their nerves in the grueling and capricious quarterfinal match against Atletico Madrid, as Kevin De Bruyne’s goal in the first match was enough to secure City’s path in the last four. Guardiola is worried about the physical fitness of several key defenders, with Joao Cancello dropped out and Kyle Walker and John Stones missed training on Monday, leaving the City coach faced with a dilemma over how to organize his back line. City will still enter the draw full of confidence after beating Watford 5-1 at the weekend to maintain their lead by one point in the race for the Premier League title.
Madrid twice seemed on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament, first by Paris Saint-Germain in the 1/16 and then Chelsea in the quarterfinals, but in both cases the brilliance of Karim Benzema and Luka Modric somehow helped to win Carlo Country. of Ancelotti above the line. The Italian struggled with two main concerns about injuries, but while Casemiro qualified only on the bench, David Alaba was considered appropriate to start in a significant reinforcement for Madrid. The Spanish giants also had the luxury of being able to focus almost all their attention on this draw, and the club is now only one point away from securing the La Liga title.
