Real Madrid will have to cope without the services of Eder Militao during the first leg of the semi-final against City due to his suspension. The centre-back received his third caution of the tournament in the second leg of the quarter-final.

Additionally, left-back Ferland Mendy is unlikely to feature as he is struggling to recover from a calf injury. There is good and bad news in the midfield. While maestro Luka Modric, who had a hamstring issue, managed to feature as a substitute in the Copa del Rey final and is expected to start the match on Tuesday, Dani Ceballos has been ruled out due to an injury.

Pep Guardiola will be without defender Nathan Ake who sustained a hamstring injury in the game against Leeds. The centre-back will be unavailable for the semi-final fixture and could be replaced in the lineup by Kyle Walker.

The likes of Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish were on the bench for City's previous outing and are expected to return to the lineup in this crucial mid-week clash.

With 35 goals to his name, Erling Haaland recently shattered the Premier League's single-season goal record. His outstanding performance is not limited to the league, as he maintains an impressive average of scoring a goal every 58 minutes in the Champions League - the best in the competition's history. On Tuesday, he is expected to give his opponents a lot of issues in the final third.

Head-to-Head Record

Real Madrid have not had it easy against Manchester City over the years. The La Liga giants beat the Premier League champions in their previous meeting but it had been the Citizens who emerged victorious in the four meetings before that.
