In a Champions League semi-final clash, Manchester City hosts Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium, a showdown that could decide the path to the final.
Real Madrid travels to Manchester for the second leg of the semi-finals, with the Etihad as the home venue. This fixture is often described as an early final, pitting two of Europe’s most storied clubs against each other as they chase a place in the final match.
The first leg finished 1-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, a balanced contest that swung on a Vinícius Júnior strike for Real Madrid and a late, decisive goal from Kevin De Bruyne for Manchester City in the second half.
The victor from this tie will meet the winner of the Milan derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan, with a spot in the championship game up for grabs.
