Wolfsburg

Having a recognised number nine in Pajor, who joined Barcelona in the summer from Wolfsburg, has alleviated the attacking pressure on Bonmati.

They have continued to thrive in Montemurro's first season in charge, beating Wolfsburg, Roma, and Galatasaray home and away to top Group A by nine points before defeating Bayern Munich 6-1 on aggregate to cruise into the last four for the 14th time in 18 Champions League campaigns.

On three out of the past four occasions on which Real Madrid have trailed after the first leg in the Champions League, they have fought back to reach the next round - against Wolfsburg in 2015-16 and in 2021-22 against both Paris St-Germain and Manchester City.

De Bruyne, who turns 34 in June, has won 16 trophies since joining City from Wolfsburg in 2015, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023.
