Casemiro and Benzema out, Cristiano in - Zidane

Champions league

Real madrid and Manchester city face will clash  in the champions league return leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, a match to decide who will feature into the final round in Milan.


The french international termed the second leg of Real Madrid and Manchester city as a tougher challenger compared to the first leg in Etihad stadium.

"Tomorrow will be even more difficult than the 1st leg. we think about our own football."

He ruled casemiro out of the game due to the possibility of what is known as an edema [a condition characterised by an excess of watery fluid collecting in the cavities or tissues of the body] , and is confident he has no missing links in the central midfield position due to the availability of enough players to replace him with

Cristiano who missed action in the first leg match between "The sky blues and "Los Blancos is highly expected to feature in the return leg though during the course of the week Pellegrini rubbished the possibility of the Portuguese international to play but according to Zidane. "Cristiano is good, he is at 100%, he trained with us & will be with us tomorrow. There is no risk. He is training and he is 100%."


Benzema's story the French international does not want to risk playing him.
