Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie on Tuesday, in what promises to be a tough test of the Blues' credentials.
This season City are looking to go one better than last year's defeat in the final, but to earn the right to fight for the famous trophy that must overcome one of the most dangerous sides in Europe.
One of the key battles over the two legs is going to be contested by City's central defenders and Los Blancos striker Karim Benzema. The 34-year-old Frenchman is in the form of his career, having scored 39 goals in 40 matches this season.
