#3 Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus worked his legs to the bone in the first-leg playing almost as a full-back. He tracked back with great efficiency and hardly ever failed to provide himself as an option whenever City attacked.
Jesus scored Manchester City's first goal of the night, popping up behind Sergio Ramos and heading the ball past the clutches of Thibaut Courtois from close range. He also got Sergio Ramos sent off in the dying embers of the game.
The Brazilian has been in great form after the restart and is definitely going to be ready to put on a show at Etihad.
#2 Casemiro
Casemiro has done an excellent job at defensive midfield for Real Madrid this season, and his form after the restart has been encouraging. However, on Friday night, he will have to double down in the absence of Sergio Ramos and provide some steel in front of the Madrid defence that would be led by Miltao and Varane.
Manchester City's free-flowing game is always going to be a threat and Casemiro will need to be at his best if they're to even have a chance of winning at the Etihad. The Brazilian will be in charge of marshalling the midfield and more often than not, these games are won there.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders in the world right now and that has been the case for a few years. The Belgian had a splendid game at the Santiago Bernabeu, setting up City's first and then scoring from the spot to secure their second.
De Bruyne was excellent in Pep Guardiola's midfield, his tenacity proving to be a virtue that Madrid found tough to negotiate with. He was a class apart as Manchester City's captain in the first leg.
Kevin De Bruyne is expected to populate the midfield for City alongside Gundogan and Rodri and on paper, they look more than capable of walking away with another win against the La Liga champions.
