Manchester City presented a “frightening” level to the rest of Europe’s clubs in April, sweeping Bayern Munich and extending its control over England, defeating Liverpool and Arsenal 4-1, and becoming a strong candidate to achieve the “triple dream”, but there remains a major obstacle ahead of it, which is the club leader. Europe, Spanish Real Madrid.
Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League, in a summit that may decide who will be the European champion, because in the event of qualification, he will face one of the poles of the city of Milan, and it is a confrontation in which the balance will be in favor of City or Real Madrid.
The most important question remains, can the “Royal” stop Manchester City, snatch qualification from it, and break its thorn for the second time in a row following the semi-finals of last season?

Vinicius force
Offensively, the “Royal” will rely heavily on the speed and skill of its Brazilian star Vinicius Junior, on the left, which may be a force that cannot be tamed, for Kyle Walker, who may pay Pep Guardiola the price of his removal from the team for long periods this season.
medium experience
The experience of Real Madrid stars in the midfield may be an influencing factor in controlling the match. The likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos outperform Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri and others in Manchester City.
Defense Awakening
The weakest point for Real Madrid is the defense line, which will rely on Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba, both of whom have appeared at a fluctuating level this season.
Their high concentration and reduction of errors in two confrontations once morest top scorer Erling Haaland will be a major requirement for crossing, which is not impossible.

Benzema performance
French star Karim Benzema must restore his level to us in last year’s meeting, when he played and toured once morest City. The return of Benzema to his level is one of the main factors that coach Carlo Ancelotti relies on.
De Bruyne scaling
Reducing Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne is the key to stopping the fiery attack. That task may fall to hardworking Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverde. Stopping De Bruyne means that the balls will reach Haaland a lot less, which means less chance of scoring goals.
