Manchester City will be looking to put one foot in the final of the Champions League when they face Spanish giants Real Madrid in the first-leg of their semi-final showdown at the Etihad Stadium this evening.
City, who continued their defence of their Premier League crown with a 5-1 win over Watford on Saturday, will be looking to build on their quarter-final triumph against Atletico Madrid. After beating Diego Simeone's side 1-0 in the first-leg at the Etihad, City registered a goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the second-leg, meaning they progressed to the last-four.
However, they must now find a way past a side that has conquered both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea in the last two rounds. Madrid scraped past Chelsea in the quarter-finals, winning the tie 5-4 on aggregate after a thrilling second leg in the Bernabeu earlier this month.
