[Football- Champions League] 9.5/ 21:00 Real Madrid- Manchester City

Real Madrid fans will be looking for a repeat of their previous 2-1 Copa del Rey success against Osasuna. In that game, Real Madrid had 59% possession and 17 attempts on goal with three on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Real Madrid was Rodrigo, who had a great game and scored a brace. These two teams face each other in the semi-finals again, and the hosts hope for the same success as in the last campaign. However, they will need a perfect performance to break Man City's excellent streak. There aren't many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti to contend with, thanks to an otherwise robust group. Ferland Mendy (Muscle Injury) is out of contention.

Manchester City comes into this match on the back of a 2-1 Premier League win against Leeds United in their previous match. In that game, Manchester City had 81% possession and 18 attempts, 6 of which were on target. The Citizens are on a magnificent run, and they are marching toward the Premier League title. However, they don't want to repeat the previous CL campaign, when they lost to Real Madrid after controlling the tie until the stoppage time. The Citizens will go in a hunt for the CL trophy, but they won't have an easy task against the defending champions. With a completely injury-free squad ready to go, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola doesn't have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this match.

It is going to be an exciting game, and many people see Man City as a favorite after their unbeatable run. However, Real Madrid won't give up in this tie, and they can remain undefeated at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Matches between these two teams have been a joy to watch, and this one shouldn't be much different. Manchester City failed to keep a clean sheet three times on the previous four occasions, and we should see both teams scoring on Tuesday evening.
