Manchester City and Real Madrid are evenly positioned for their Champions League quarter-final second leg at Etihad Stadium, which will be another challenge for two of England’s best players.
Phil Foden’s City performances have lighted up the Premier League this season, while Jude Bellingham’s Real Madrid brilliance has captivated Europe.
Both players will be crucial to England’s Euro 2024 chances, but Gareth Southgate has a welcome dilemma: who will play number 10?
Both began in that position for their opposite clubs in a frenzied first leg that ended 3-3 in Madrid last week.
After scoring in the second half, Foden was named man of the match, taking advantage of a position he has played nine times for City this season.
Bellingham has played 24 games at the position for Real this season and is sure to play a vital role in Wednesday’s return leg. How do the two players compare statistically?
