MCI vs SCH

Manchester City welcomed Schalke 04 at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening for the second phase of its Champions League final-16 match, which was sitting on a 3-2 lead from a dramatic first leg.

On Saturday, a 3-1 home win over Watford gave another example of the ability of the citizens to overcome any type of challenge, because they were broken through the protective wall of the Hornets - although their initial goal was controversial With the help of a call - a clear point on top of the Premier League to remain one.

After concentrating on the Champions League and FA Cup before the interval of a fortnight for international football, the city's last league was for three weeks.

MCI vs SCH

With the target of two and a half months of the season, winning all the four competitions that they had recorded. After winning the EFL Cup with victory over Chelsea in last month's final, Pep Guardiola men are ready to achieve that unprecedented goal

However, despite their recent domestic domination, the cities never appear to be able to replicate their clinical demonstrations on the continent - not in the later stages This is the sixth consecutive year, when he has made a place in the knockout round, but he has been strong with two of the last five out of last 15 positions.

It was plain yachts 12 months ago, because they separated Basel 5-2 overall, winning the first stage 4-0 to work effectively within 90 minutes. There was no such luck at this time, though, because he was made to work harder by Schalke in the first stage.

After throwing the edge of a goal and losing Nicholas Otamendi with a red card, it was a matter of damage limitation for Guardiola. This may not be true to the truth, however, as Sana did a stunning free kick against his former club, and Stirling removed the house in the last minute and kept the city under full control.

Last week, three-time European Champion Real Madrid's exit meant that English champions are not favorites of bookmakers to win their first continental crown. However, Ajax's 4-1 win in Bernabeu last week should also be a warning for Guardiola, who has not won the competition since 2011.

Guardiola's side lost both of their last two knockouts to the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium, defeating Basel 2-1 in March 2018 and Liverpool in April 2018, and for the opening match on Lyon This season lost by the same scorer

Citizens have become experts in getting work in recent weeks, but this is a direct task.

Schalke 04

In this phase of the Champions League, Schalke does not have a happy history as he has lost his last three last-16 matches, which has recently dropped below 5-4 in Real Madrid in 2015.

As was the case in that exciting double-header with Madrid four years ago, the German side did not harm their reputation with their performance in the three-week-long Veltins-Arena, although their inability to watch the match 2-1 Has left them to climb a big mountain.

MCI vs SCH

Royal Blues made a trip to Manchester's four-match defeat, which gave him 14 goals and scored four fours in the Bentleb penalty in reverse fiction.

In fact, Bentleb has been penalized from the last four goals of Schalke in UEFA's major club competition, which is now definitely to be the second player to score in three consecutive Champions League matches from the spot after Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich is - 2015

Schalke defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf on 6 February without a win in seven games in all the competition, defeating them at 14th place in Bundesliga, which is just four points above the charge area.

European football has provided a welcome distraction, however, before being on the second position in the first-leg victory over City last month, Galatasaray and Lokomotiv collected 11 points in the group stage to finish above Moscow.

Four of those points went on their trip and despite the Porto Group winners coming down from 3-1 on the match Winner Five, Schalke lost only three of his European matches away from the previous 15 matches, which he will take to Real Madrid in Burnabeu Beating in time.

Although Domenico Tedesco's side is going bad, and it seems that the will will end the race for the Champions League's favorite home.

Otamandi was suspended in the first stage due to his red card, and it was unlikely to take the Stones back, Kompany should keep his place in the heart of the defense with Aymeric Laporte, since the reverse stability only 45 minutes have played football

Sane and Gabriel Jesus started Watford match on the bench, and both are in a dispute to return here, although there is no possibility of the arrival of Aguero, even if the Argentine striker needs rest.

Schalke will be without the head man Daniele Caliguri, meanwhile, as Playmaker picked up the foot injury last week, who would rule him for almost a month.

Alessandro Schopf is also on the shore, so Weston McKennie is in line for a start on the right hand side, in contrast opposite Hamza Mendyl in the opposite direction.

Elsewhere, Benjamin Stambouli is in a dispute to replace Jeffrey Bruma, and Omar Mascarell's presence is touching-and-going because he requires late fitness testing.

Former Man City Man Rabbi Matondo is also a part of Schalke's travel party.
