Pep Guardiola has confirmed that a £50 million Manchester City star will be sidelined for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid due to an injury.
Despite Manchester City’s ability to cope with injuries like most top teams, Carlo Ancelotti’s side could potentially exploit the absence of this key player.
Real Madrid, renowned for their prowess in the Champions League, will be eager to retaliate against Manchester City following their defeat in the previous season’s encounter over two legs.
Pep Guardiola stated that Kyle Walker, Manchester City’s right-back, will miss the match against Real Madrid due to injury.
With Real Madrid boasting one of the strongest squads globally, they could strategically deploy a player to capitalize on Manchester City’s defensive vulnerability.
