Manchester City will be aiming to secure their spot in the Champions League final as they take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final clash at the Etihad Stadium tonight.
The team from City, who previously made it to the final of this tournament in 2021, are poised to capitalize on their recent 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Bernabeu. Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne scored a superb equalizing goal following Vinicius Jr’s first-half strike that had given the Spanish team the lead.

Manchester City, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, have taken a significant stride towards successfully defending their Premier League title. A win against Real Madrid tonight would further bolster their chances of achieving a historic treble. If they emerge victorious, they will be pitted against Inter Milan in the ultimate showdown on Saturday, June 10, in Istanbul.
Regarding the early team updates, it has been reported that Guardiola has at his disposal an almost complete roster to select from, with Nathan Ake being the only anticipated absence due to a calf ailment. John Stones and Jack Grealish are vying for a return to the team.
