Guardiola gets Walker and Cancelo back for the Bernabeu

Manchester City visit the Santiago Bernabeu in search of a place in only the second Champions League final in their history and Pep Guardiola's side already know their squad for the trip to the Spanish capital.

The Spaniards returned to Spain with extra life after the first leg at the Etihad Stadium (4-3), and now it is the Cityzens who have to travel with the objective of sealing the tie against Real Madrid.

Guardiola will have his full squad available and will be bolstered at full-back by the return of two important players in Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo, who missed the first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

In place of both of them were Stones on the right and Zinchenko on the left, but if the Catalan coach sees them fit they could start at the Bernabeu. The rest of the squad was unchanged, with the possibility of repeating the attacking formation.
