UCL Match Preview: Manchester City Vs Real Madrid predicted lineups, teams news, betting odds and injury update

A 1-1 first-leg draw leaves the Champions League semi-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid finely poised.

An enthralling first 90 minutes in the tie saw the visitors have more of the ball in the Spanish capital, but struggle to consistently trouble Thibaut Courtois.

Kevin De Bruyne’s fine strike did ensure that Pep Gaudiola’s side exited the Bernabeu level after Vinicius Jr.’s equally well-taken goal had put Madrid ahead, and Manchester City will hope their home crowd can give them a boost.

And having exited the competition at the same stage against the same opposition last year, Guardiola will be keen for his side to offer greater attacking threat as he chases three trophies to close the season.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Rúben

Dias, Akanji; Stones, Rodri; Bernardo Silva,
