Khaberni - Real Madrid has recovered an important part of its offensive lineup on the eve of the decisive second leg match against Manchester City in the Round of 16 of the Champions League, where French star Kylian Mbappe has returned to the team roster.
The French striker has not played since February 21 due to a knee problem, missing five matches in all competitions, including a three-goal clean sweep victory over Manchester City in last week's first leg.
The Real Madrid squad for the match against Manchester City, which included 26 players, brought double good news with the return of Jude Bellingham as well, who has been out of competition since February 1 due to a thigh injury.
Real Madrid's technical manager, Alvaro Arbeloa, is expected to reveal during his press conference later today, Monday, the fate of Mbappe and Bellingham's participation in the match against Manchester City tomorrow, Tuesday, whether as starters or as substitutes.
Real Madrid enjoys a significant advantage that qualifies it to reach the quarter-finals, as the team only needs a draw to ensure a ticket to the next round, and even a narrow defeat by a margin of two goals is not enough for Manchester City to bridge the gap from the first leg.
