Real Madrid e Manchester City will face each other in Champions League for the third year in a row. This time, however, Pep Guardiola will not have an important piece in his defense.
With an injury suffered during the FIFA date with the England team, Kyle Walker will not be available for this match. And the coach regretted the absence of the man who would be responsible for scoring Vinicius Jr..

“It’s true that the best possible player to guard a player like Vinicius is Kyle (Walker). Unfortunately, he was injured in a friendly. That’s what it is,” said the coach.
“We would love for him to be on the field, but what can I say? We will play with 11 and try to adapt with the players we have, because injuries are part of a long season,” he added.
In addition to Walker, Josko Gvardiol is doubtful for the match, making the starting defense a headache for Guardiola.
“At a decisive moment, we have a lot of injuries in the same sector and we have to find a solution. We have to think more about what we are going to do and return with a good result for the second leg”, he concluded.
