Preview
Manchester City
Manchester City will be looking to book their place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League when they host Real Madrid in the second leg of their quarterfinal tie. The Citizens hold a 4-3 advantage from the first leg, but they will know that Real Madrid is a dangerous opponent, especially at the Santiago Bernabéu. City manager Pep Guardiola will have a number of selection decisions to make ahead of the match. Kevin De Bruyne is expected to start after recovering from an injury, but İlkay Gündoğan is a doubt. John Stones is also a doubt, while Aymeric Laporte is suspended.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid will need to score at least two goals at the Etihad Stadium to have a chance of reaching the semi-finals. The Spanish giants have a good record against City, having won their last three meetings. Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will be without the suspended Éder Militão and the injured Karim Benzema. Dani Carvajal is also a doubt, while Ferland Mendy is expected to return from injury.
Prediction
This is a match that could go either way. Manchester City has a slight advantage, but Real Madrid is a team that is never to be underestimated. I predict a narrow 2-1 win for City.
