Manchester City's training squad ahead of facing Real Madrid does not Nathan Ake. Fresh from extending their impressive undefeated streak to 20 with a 2-1 win over Leeds United on Saturday, City return to Champions League competition on Tuesday as they face Real Madrid in the first leg of a mouth-watering semi-final tie.

Pep Guardiola's side crashed out at the same stage to the same team a year ago after a late collapse and will be looking for revenge this time around.
