Éder Militão started a large part of the season with Real Madrid at a very important level, even being highlighted by Carlo Ancelotti himself at a press conference. But the reality is different today as the player has lowered his level and the team has felt it in some league games when the central defender was not good at defending certain forwards.
Militão missed the first leg against Manchester City in the Champions League semifinal (1-1) due to suspension and Antonio Rüdiger entered in his place, who kept the menace of Erling Haaland contained during the match.

That precedent, added to the low level of the Brazilian central defender, puts him in doubt for this week’s second leg against the English. As reported by the Spanish portal As, the Merengues coach is very satisfied with the task carried out by the Rüdiger-Alaba duo and does not have much intention of touching what already works.
That is why Ancelotti faces a difficult decision ahead of the clash against Manchester City, whether it is necessary to make a change or not. Many questions and certain doubts that the Italian coach still has to resolve.
The former Porto defender played 47 games this season but his level has dropped a bit lately. He managed to score seven times, with just one goal in the Champions League.
