Real Madrid suffered a minor setback in their preparations ahead of facing Manchester City in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal on May 17.

The Los Blancos players arrived at the Manchester Airport on Tuesday, May 16, but were left stranded at the airport for more than half an hour after their bus failed to arrive on time.

As the Sun reports, the players were seen standing at terminal two as they waited for their bus, with Head Coach, Carlo Ancelotti, not looking pleased about the situation.

Luka Modric's facial expressions also looked like someone who would have preferred to be anywhere else than in the airport.

However, Vinicius Junior and Eder Militao appeared to be in high spirits as they chatted with their teammates. The latter will be available after missing the first leg through suspension, where the former starred with a beauty of a goal.

Real Madrid fans will be hoping that the minor delay didn't affect the team's plans and morale ahead of the crunch tie at the Etihad. The duel is evenly balanced at one-all after Kevin De Bruyne cancelled out Vinicius' goal.

The winner of the tie will face Inter Milan in the June 10 final in Istanbul.

The English right-back had an eventful battle with Vinicius on the right flank, and the two are set to rekindle their rivalry when Man City host the Spanish giants at the Etihad Stadium in the return leg.

With the tie finely poised at one-all, both Walker and Vinicius will be expected to put up splendid performances to push their respective clubs over the line in their pursuit of European glory.
