Antoine Semenyo set to mark Champions League debut against Real Madrid CF

Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has been named in Manchester City F.C.'s travelling squad for the high-stakes Champions League round of 16 tie against Real Madrid CF.

The Premier League giants will lock horns with the Spanish football powerhouse in the first leg of the round of 16 clash, scheduled to take place at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Wednesday night.

Semenyo completed a high-profile move to the English champions during the winter transfer window and was quickly integrated into the squad. His inclusion in the Champions League list underlines the club’s belief in his attacking qualities as they aim to make a meaningful impact this season in the UEFA Champions League.

Having been included in the matchday squad, the former AFC Bournemouth attacker is expected to mark his debut in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old has been one of Ghana’s standout attackers in recent years, known for his pace, power, and direct style of play. His ability to operate across multiple attacking positions provides additional options for City’s forward line as they prepare for a crucial tie against the Spanish giants.

The match against Real Madrid CF promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the knockout round, pitting two of Europe’s outstanding clubs against each other in what is expected to be a fiercely contested encounter.

With his name now officially on the Champions League roster, Semenyo will be eager to seize any opportunity that comes his way and make a mark on Europe’s biggest club stage as Manchester City F.C. pushes for another deep run in the competition.
