The pitch
Real Madrid looked lost following Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus gave the English a 2-0 lead inside 11 minutes. It was without counting on the influence of Karim Benzema, who remotivated his teammates with words first then with deeds by closing the gap before the break.
Benzema restores hope
Phil Foden’s header restored City to a two-goal lead. But Vinícius Júnior reacted quickly, and if a fine strike from Bernardo Silva made it 4-2. To end the evening, a Panenka from Benzema allowed Carlo Ancelotti’s team to hope with only one goal behind.
The possible compositions
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Éder Militão, Nacho, Mendy; Modrić, Casemiro, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Junior
Man. City: Ederson; João Cancelo, Rúben Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Jesus, Foden
Two teams having scored the same number of goals over the whole of the two matches of a meeting will not be decided according to the number of goals scored away from home, but two periods of extra time of 15 minutes will be played at the end of the time regulation of the second leg, and if neither team scores or if the teams score the same number of goals during extra time, kicks from the penalty mark will determine which of the two teams qualifies for the next phase of the competition.

The words of the coaches
Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid
Tomorrow we will see a great game between two great teams with great players. A Champions League semi-final is not won with heart and motivation. It plays an important role, of course, but it is not enough. There is also an individual aspect, it takes a combination of factors to win the Champions League. If we win tomorrow, it won’t be thanks to our motivation, nor to the magical atmosphere in the stadium: it will be thanks to our collective commitment and the individual qualities of our players.
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City
We will certainly have to be better (than on the first leg), but we can play much worse than we did and we can win. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. Sometimes we don’t get what we deserve, and sometimes we don’t deserve what happens to us. We will have to play incredibly well and win this game. To eliminate Real, you have to perform well in both sets.
