Mbappé and Bellingham Return for UCL Clash at Etihad

Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham will return for Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League last 16 second leg against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Mbappé had been sidelined since February 21 due to a left knee sprain sustained in a La Liga match against Osasuna.

Bellingham, who was injured on February 1 during a league game against Rayo Vallecano, was initially expected to be out for four weeks due to a hamstring injury. Their return is a significant boost for manager Alvaro Arbeloa as Real Madrid seeks to secure progress to the quarter-finals after winning the first leg 3-0 at Santiago Bernabéu.

Federico Valverde scored a first-half hat trick, while Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Vinícius Jr. a penalty in the second half, preventing a larger margin. Manchester City will aim to overturn the deficit in what promises to be a high-intensity showdown.
