Bellingham was included in Real's travelling party for Tuesday's fixture but boss Alvaro Arbeloa said he will not feature against City. "Bellingham wanted to come with his team-mates to be with the team. He will continue and do part of the training, but he won't be available tomorrow," Arbeola told a news conference. "It will be very important for his team-mates to see him training today and tomorrow before the match, at half-time, or afterwards," he added. The margin of victory could have been greater, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved Vinicius Jr's penalty early in the second half.
