Rafael Benitez has warned Manchester City about the threat of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr., Karim Benzema, and Thibaut Courtois ahead of their Champions League semi-final clash. Benitez believes that City should be particularly wary of Vinicius Jr., who scored in the first leg of last year’s semi-final at the Etihad Stadium, as he is “trying to run into the space on the right of City’s backline”. He also highlighted Benzema’s “very good movement” which “makes it difficult for two centre backs” and Courtois’ ability to “do very well for them” in difficult situations. Benitez also believes that City have a much better option in Erling Haaland than Gabriel Jesus when facing Real Madrid this time around. He noted that Haaland is “stronger in the air” which means that City can make more crosses as they now have “someone who will be on the end of that delivery”. He added that Haaland’s link-up play has been improving all season and that City can now play a cross if they cannot find a penetrating pass or a ball from the edge of the box.
