Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final, with the tie finely poised at 3-3. City put in a convincing performance against Luton Town, winning 5-1 and impressing former player Micah Richards and manager David James. Jeremy Doku was particularly praised for his performance, with David James suggesting that he may strike fear into the Real Madrid defenders next week.

Despite Doku’s impressive display, it is expected that Jack Grealish will start on the left wing for City in the upcoming match against Real Madrid. Grealish has been in good form since his return from injury, and his experience in big games could be crucial for City. However, if City are struggling to break down their opponents, Doku could be a key player to bring off the bench and try to make an impact. The young Belgian’s performance against Luton has shown that he has the potential to be a difference-maker for City in important matches.

The game against Real Madrid is crucial for City’s Champions League hopes, and they will need all their key players to be at their best. With the likes of Grealish, Bernardo, and Foden likely to feature, Doku may have to settle for a substitute role. However, his recent form and performance against Luton have shown that he can be a valuable asset for City, and Pep Guardiola may turn to him if needed to unlock the Real Madrid defense.
