In his final Manchester City training session before Wednesday night’s match against Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola had a 24-man roster available.

After an exciting first 90 minutes in the Spanish capital last week, the defending champions of Europe’s top club championship will square off in the second leg of their quarterfinal match on Wednesday night at the Etihad Stadium.

The match was paced by a goal from Bernardo Silva in the first two minutes, but Real Madrid took the lead thanks to a counterattacking goal from Rodrygo and an own goal by Ruben Dias.

After Manchester City showed true effort in the second half, Pep Guardiola’s team won the match thanks to two outstanding long-range goals from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol. Federico Valverde then completed the scoring.

Real Madrid and Manchester City meet up right before the game. Real Madrid is coming off a convincing 5-1 win against Luton in the Premier League, which put the reigning champions in first place and clear after losses to Liverpool and Arsenal.

Important members of Pep Guardiola’s team were visible during open training on Tuesday afternoon. The Manchester City manager said during his pre-game press conference that evaluations would be conducted on several players.

Manchester City’s 24-man roster is practicing against Real Madrid.

Ederson, Scott Carson, and Stefan Ortega are the goalkeepers.

Defenders: Nathan Ake, Josko Gvardiol, Sergio Gomez, John Stones, Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, and Kyle Walker

Midfielders: Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Mateo Kovacic, Rodri, and Matheus Nunes

Josh Adam, Micah Hamilton, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Oscar Bobb, Julian Alvarez, and Erling Haaland are the forwards.

John Stones made his comeback to Manchester City’s grass-roots action at the City Football Academy. The England international was rested from the weekend’s action due to the Club’s statement that he was “not fully-fit.”

As they near the end of their individual ιnjury recoveries, Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake participated in defensive drills. The former is predicted to contribute to containing Real Madrid’s potent оffensive line on Wednesday night.
