Man City just need to avoid a defeat to qualify for their second consecutive UEFA Champions League when they meet Real Madrid in Spain for the second leg of the Semifinals on Wednesday, 4th May.

The football world was turned upside down by the pulsating battle between the two sides on a crazy night at the Etihad. The Citizens got an exciting 4-3 victory in the first leg. A narrow lead means that City has no margin of error in the next match. The team manager Pep Guardiola seemed pleased with his side’s performance. In the post-match conference, Guardiola said:

“We played a fantastic game against an incredible team. The moments where they rise and come back into the game in the first half I think we gave them as our build-up was so nervous.”

Real Madrid will look to turn the tables by dominating City in the next home fixture of the big Semifinals. Karim Benzema’s heroics in the last leg didn’t prove enough for the Spanish Club to avoid a loss. Real Madrid recently clinched the La Liga title with a win against Espanyol.

It is a historic feat for Carlo Ancelloti as he became the first coach to win all the top 5 European leagues. Now it’s time for his men to aim for their 17th appearance in the Champions League Finals.
