Los Blancos hold a 3-2 first leg lead over the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/premier-league-barclays-era-deep-dive\/\">Premier League<\/a> champions.<\/p>\n<p>Although previous deficits being overturned have often been of greater margins, the La Liga giants will need to be very wary at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>However, Carlo Ancelotti&#8217;s side seems to have it in their DNA to get the job done. Especially when they are not playing at their best.<\/p>\n<p>Domestically, that is something that has been evident in recent weeks. Not playing at their imperious best. On Saturday, Madrid drew 1-1 with Osasuna whereby Jude Bellingham received a controversial red card.<\/p>\n<p>The stalemate means it is now three games without a win in the league. Hardly the ideal preparation going into such a crucial fixture but it would be naive to rule Madrid out of progressing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcaa <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/David_Alaba?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@David_Alaba<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udc5f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaniCeballos46?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DaniCeballos46<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2mKfynztl3\">pic.twitter.com\/2mKfynztl3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Real Madrid C.F. \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@realmadriden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realmadriden\/status\/1891105246631342308?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Man City head to the Bernabeu still wounded after their late first-leg collapse. Erling Haaland opened the scoring before Kylian Mbappe shinned home the equaliser.<\/p>\n<p>Haaland then netted from the spot with barely 10 minutes of action left to play. Former City star Brahim Diaz levelled again before Bellingham netted in stoppage time to give the Spaniards a slender advantage.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Cityzens made amends when they thrashed Newcastle 4-0 on Saturday. Winter addition Omar Marmoush scored a stunning 14-minute hat-trick.<\/p>\n<p>Local lad James McAtee came off the bench to net the fourth. That result has provided the perfect remedy going into Wednesday night&#8217;s battle.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the game, the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/football\/\">football betting sites<\/a> in the UK price Real Madrid as the 22\/25 favourites. Man City can be backed at 27\/10 with the draw 7\/2.<\/p>\n<h2>Real Madrid Vs Man City Team News<\/h2>\n<p>Jude Bellingham&#8217;s red card will not see the <strong>Real Madrid<\/strong> star miss the second-leg as the potential suspension only applies to La Liga matches.<\/p>\n<p>Defenders Antonio R\u00fcdiger and David Alaba are expected to be passed fit and the duo will likely start. However, Lucas V\u00e1zquez, Dani Carvajal, \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o and Joan Mart\u00ednez are all definitely ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>On the suspension front, five players could miss the first leg of the last 16 clash. Assuming Real get there. Those in question are Bellingham, Endrick, Eduardo Camavinga, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouameni and Luka Modri\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Man City<\/strong> have a concerning Erling Haaland injury update to navigate. The Norwegian superstar appeared to jar his knee in the build up to James McAtee&#8217;s goal against Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>There are also concerns over Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake. The trio will all take late fitness tests after their recent problems.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin De Bruyne is available after being rested on the weekend. Manuel Akanji, Rodri and Oscar Bobb are all still missing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2708\ufe0f A trip to the Santiago Bernabeu<br \/>\ud83c\udfdf\ufe0f Liverpool visit the Etihad<br \/>\ud83d\udcfa Two live matches on CITY+<\/p>\n<p>Everything you need to know ahead of a huge week at City \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Manchester City (@ManCity) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCity\/status\/1891419819913654403?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Real Madrid Vs Man City Predicted Lineups<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Real Madrid (4-3-3):<\/strong> Courtois; Valverde, Tchouameni, R\u00fcdiger, Mendy; Camavinga, Ceballos, Bellingham; Vin\u00ed Jr, Mbapp\u00e9, Rodrygo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Man City (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Haaland, Marmoush<\/p>\n<h2>Real Madrid Vs Man City Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>When these two collide there&#8217;s normally a plethora of goals and we are expecting that to happen once again.
