Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his matchday squad for this evening's Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester City.

Current holders Madrid host City at the semi-final stage for the second consecutive year, having progressed past the Blues on their way to the title last season.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were two goals behind going into added time of the second leg last year, with a quick-fire brace from Rodrygo and Karim Benzema's extra-time penalty sending them to the final.

Los Blancos have endured an underwhelming league campaign by their standards, sitting third and 14 points behind La Liga leaders and El Clasico rivals Barcelona.
