Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Erling Haaland has traveled with the Manchester City team for his play-off match match of the Champions League with Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
The city travels to the Spanish capital knowing that they have to cancel a deficit of a goal from the first stage to qualify for the 16 round.
The whites scored twice in four minutes, including a winner of the detention time of Jude Bellingham, to complete a return in the Etihad last Tuesday and accumulated more pressure on the Guardiola side.
City has faced the 15 times European champions in five of the last six seasons, but has only won once in the Bernabéu.
Haaland, who scored an orthopedic device in the first leg, was a doubt for the return section in Madrid after being retired in the demolition of Newcastle 4-0 of the city on Saturday due to a knee injury.
However, Guardiola has relieved concerns about the condition of the Norwegians, revealing that he will be in the Bernabéu with Jack Grealish, who was also a question of playing.

'Yes, they traveled. We will see tomorrow, but it is good news that they are here obviously, 'said Guardiola.
'Jack was able to play a really good game in him (in Leyton Orient), but after he does not have the consistency to play three games per week, he could not do it. With luck, he is now capable of the season, you can get it. '
City faces the possibility of leaving before the last 16 for the first time since 2012-2013, when they were knocked out in the group stage.
Guardiola had admitted that the possibilities of qualification of his team are thin, but has urged his game without fear of Bernabéu.
'You have to make an almost perfect game, obviously. The result is not the perfect situation. We have to attack and score goals, this is the idea. We will have to play an almost perfect game to spend.
'It is the same to go to Arsenal or Liverpool at this time or Barcelona, the great teams described for the first eight, it is quite similar.
'It will be difficult to disappear. Especially after the result we take in the first game. (We must) play with courage. Be yourself.
'I learned that when I was a young player when we didn't get results. Play with incredible courage and play to win the game, otherwise, you can always lose but you must be yourself.
'When we did well here it is because we played to win the game. We have no alternative due to the result in the first leg.
