Manchester City can take another step toward their first Champions League trophy as they face Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal second leg.
Kevin De Bruyne equalised for the Premier League leaders at the Santiago Bernabeu as the first leg ended 1-1 last week. Pep Guardiola's side will throw everything at this fixture, knowing their domestic title is all but secured.
Los Blancos' history in the competition, along with their recent record against City, will give them a lot of confidence ahead of their trip to Manchester. Vinicius Junior will want to add to his goal in the reverse leg as he continues to prove why he is one of the best wingers in the world.

Man City vs Real Madrid lineups
Pep Guardiola is likely to continue playing the 3-2-4-1 formation that has underpinned City's incredible winning run in the Premier League.
Nathan Ake (calf) is sidelined but City have no other concerns. Kevin De Bruyne, who sat out the weekend win at Everton, is fit to play. Manuel Akanji is picked ahead of Aymeric Laporte, who started alongside him in the Blues' previous match against Everton. That means an unchanged XI from the first leg.
Man City (3-2-4-1, right to left): 31. Ederson (GK) — 2. Walker, 3. Dias, 25. Akanji — 5. Stones, 16. Rodri — 20. Silva, 8. Gundogan 17. De Bruyne, 10. Grealish — 9. Haaland
- Injured: Ake
- Suspended: None
Carlo Ancelotti rotated most of his starting 11 in their La Liga fixture against Getafe in preparation for this game.
Eder Militao returns for selection after missing the first leg due to suspension, meaning Antonio Rudiger is on the bench despite his expert shackling of Erling Haaland last week.
Real Madrid (4-3-3, right to left): 1. Courtois (GK) — 2. Carvajal, 3. Militao, 4. Alaba, 12. Camavinga — 15. Valverde, 8. Kroos, 10. Modric — 21. Rodrygo, 9. Benzema, 20. Vinicius
- Injured: None
- Suspended: None
Man City vs Real Madrid odds
