Mbappe has registered, Real Madrid competes with Manchester City

We have entered the most delicate and serious stage of the UEFA Champions League. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

For Real Madrid club, the current time is considered one of the most important tests. The team will face England's Manchester City in the round of sixteen.

Before the match, Madrid's head coach Alvaro Arbeloa announced the official squad list. This list caused great discussions among fans.

The most notable and controversial point is that the bright star of world football, Kylian Mbappe, was not included in the list this time. Many expected him in the starting lineup, but the coach made a different decision.

Instead, the team lineup shows a mix of experienced and young players. Arbeloa tried to create variability and choice options in every position.

The list includes goalkeepers Courtois, Lunin, and Fran Gonzalez. In defense are Carvajal, Trent, Asensio, Fran Garcia, Rüdiger, Mendy, Heisen, and Aguado.

In midfield, there are strong players like Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Sestero, Palacios, Guler, Angel, and Thiago. In the attack line, the names Vinicius, Gonzalo Garcia, Brahim Diaz, and Mastantuono are listed.

It should be especially noted that in a match against a strong opponent like Manchester City, every detail is crucial. Who takes the field, who remains on the bench, and what formation the coach chooses—all these directly affect the result.

Mbappe's absence raises questions about strategic choices in this battle. How the load will be distributed to Vinicius and Brahim, and who will control the pace of the game in the center will become clear in the upcoming evening.

The match is scheduled to take place on March 11. Source: One.uz
