A Champions League semi-final spot is at stake when Manchester City and Real Madrid collide in the second leg of their quarter-final clash on Wednesday night.
This tie had blockbuster material written all over it when the draw was made given their recent duels at this late stage of the competition, and the pair certainly didn't disappoint in the Spanish capital last week. A first leg full of utterly ludicrous finishes ended 3-3, with City undoubtedly departing the happier of the two sides ahead of the return in Manchester.
They'll now get to enjoy the comforts of the Etihad Stadium in midweek as they aim to complete an unprecedented double-treble. Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten in 2024 and they returned to the top of the Premier League table at the weekend following Liverpool and Arsenal defeats.
Real Madrid lead the way in La Liga, maintaining their eight-point buffer over Barcelona ahead of El Clasico by beating Mallorca at the weekend. Despite their domestic success, some will deem the campaign a disappointment should they exit the Champions League at this premature stage.
Here's preview of Wednesday's quarter-final second leg.
