Real Madrid has only failed to reach the final in one of the previous five seasons where they have advanced to the semis – losing to eventual champions Chelsea in 2020-21. With the top-flight title almost a formality, Real Madrid will unequivocally prioritise a 15th top-level European crown in what remains of a turbulent season.
Although few contest Los Blancos’ dominance in Europe, a victory for the Sky Blues over the holders would be very good omen for Tuesday’s visitors. Ancelotti’s team comes into the first leg with a five-game winning streak in the Champions League, three clean sheets in a row, and 16 straight games with goals on the continent since a 1-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in February 2022.

A fantastic treble remains a real possibility for Man City, who made Thomas Tuchel’s return to England miserable with a 3-0 quarterfinal first-leg win over Bayern before picking up a satisfying 1-1 draw in Munich. This is in addition to their thoughts of the FA Cup final.
The only match the Citizens have lost in their last 16 across all competitions was the draw in Germany, but Guardiola is in danger of surpassing Jose Mourinho’s current record of six Champions League semi-final exits as a manager by breaking his own record of seven. The most recent of those eliminations from the final four came at the hands of Real Madrid in 2017, when City won a seven-goal thriller 4-3 at the Etihad before dropping a 3-1 decision in extra time at the Bernabeu. Fans and unaffiliated parties alike are in for a treat if last year’s extravaganza is any indication.

Given Los Blancos’ recent struggles to close the back door at home, Man City, and Haaland in particular, will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a Real Madrid backline without Militao. Real Madrid, however, is never to be written off in Europe, if there is one thing to know about them. Undoubtedly, the first leg should live up to its potential. We anticipate the two titans to play to a thrilling draw, which would be a better outcome for Guardiola’s team before the second leg at the Etihad on May 17.
