Man City will face Real Madrid in Champions League semi-final if they defeat Atletico Madrid

Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals should they advance past Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

It looked like City could potentially have a rematch of last year's agonising final defeat on the horizon after Chelsea served up an incredible comeback to storm into a 3-0 lead at the Bernabeu thanks to goals from Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner. It was some turnaround after they lost the opening leg in London 3-1 due to Karim Benzema's stunning hat-trick.

However, the latter stages of Europe's top competition once again provided some remarkable drama. Luka Modric produced a stunning outside-of-the-boot ball into the box for substitute Rodrygo to volley home, levelling the scores on aggregate and sending the game into extra-time.
