Carlo Ancelotti ‘convinced’ Real Madrid or Man City will win Champions League Carlo Ancelotti expects the winners of the Champions League to emerge from the new ‘Clasico’ between Real Madrid and Manchester City.
The first leg takes place at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday and, even despite City’s indifferent form this season, Real boss Ancelotti still regards opposite number Pep Guardiola as the best in the business.
Ancelotti’s side have had their own wobble of late, collecting just one point from their last two LaLiga matches to see their lead at the top of the table cut to one point.
One player set to feature is Rodrygo, one of a feared attacking quartet along with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
They are without a number of defenders due to injury, with Lucas Vazquez the latest addition to a casualty list that already includes Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal.
