Tactical tweaks to watch out for in Real Madrid vs Manchester City

The two favourites Real Madrid and Manchester City take on each other in what is a bumper UCL clash today. There are some interesting tactics that will be at play.

Akanji to stop Vinicius - With Kyle Walker ruled out, Manuel Akanji has been entrusted with keeping Vinicius quiet. Physically, the Swiss international can match him but it remains to be seen what happens.

Younger Real Madrid midfield - Manchester City had carved out Real's midfield last season, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric having the worst games of their careers. This time they have Jude Bellingham, Fede Valverde and Camavinga to provide the legs.
