Pep Guardiola’s side were stunned by a resurgent Federico Valverde in last week’s first leg as the Uruguayan claimed a first career hat-trick with a truly stunning individual performance.

They dropped two points in the Premier League title race in a 1-1 draw to relegation-threatened West Ham at the weekend, with Erling Haaland continuing to misfire and confidence low - and their plight has been worsened by the news that Real Madrid have Kylian Mbappe back available – though Jude Bellingham remains out.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news
Mateo Kovacic made the bench against West Ham after several months sidelined, while Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol are still out.
Real Madrid are boosted by the return of Kylian Mbappe, who had been sidelined since February with injury. Jude Bellingham also travelled to Manchester but is not yet ready for match minutes.
The Spanish giants still have a stacked injury list, however: they remain without Rodrygo, out with an ACL injury, alongside Dani Ceballos, Alvaro Carreras, David Alaba, and Ferland Mendy. Eder Militao and Raul Asencio are both doubts.
