Hello everybody and welcome along to this Champions League live blog for Manchester City vs Real Madrid, the second leg of the second semi-final from the Etihad Stadium in Northern England.
The two pre-tournament outright favorites drew the first match 1-1 with nothing able to separate two of Europe's best sides as both Vinicius Jr and Kevin de Bruyne produced moments of magic for their respective teams.
It should be noted that there is no away goals rule, and should the aggregate scoreline be level after 90 minutes we will see extra time and possibly penalties ensue.
One thing both Real Madrid and Manchester City know, is their opponent will be Inter in the Champions League final which will be played on June 10 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

Nathan Ake is the only injury concern for the hosts on Wednesday, though he is working his way back to fitness. The Dutchman aside, City should be at full strength.
Real Madrid are in a similar position, wit Eduardo Camavinga limping off against Getafe posing some concern, though Carlo Ancelotti did say that the versatile midfielder would travel to England without any issues.
Man City predicted XI (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji; Stones, Rodri; Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish; Haaland.

Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport: "The interesting thing about both goals last week is that they came against the run of play. Both the goals came when the opposition appeared to be turning the screw. Man City will try and dominate possession today. That's probably when they're at their most vulnerable."
