Confirmed Line-Ups: Real Madrid vs Manchester City (Champions League semi-final first-leg) | OneFootball

Manchester City face current holders Real Madrid in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final on Tuesday evening.

Pep Guardiola’s side are seeking revenge for semi-final defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu last season, when the current Premier League leaders come up against the La Liga giants on Tuesday night.

City, who are unbeaten in Europe so far this season and currently on a 20-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, are looking to reach their second Champions League Final in three years, after defeat in 2021 to Chelsea.

The Sky Blues have also won 10 straight Premier League matches, most recently beating Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon, courtesy of Ilkay Gundogan’s quick-fire brace.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are meeting in the Champions League semi-finals for a third time, with City having suffered a 6-5 aggregate loss last season and a 1-0 aggregate loss in 2016.

City thumped Bayern Munich to set-up a semi-final clash against Real Madrid, beating the Bundesliga heavyweights 4-1 last month.
