Manchester City are seeking their first-ever UCL title, and with Erling Haaland leading the attack, this could be their best chance yet. Despite their domination of the first leg, they couldn't secure a win, with Kevin de Bruyne's brilliance only enough to earn a draw. Historically, they've found it tough against Real Madrid in the UCL semi-finals, and Pep Guardiola will need to overcome his semi-final jinx to guide City to their coveted final.
Real Madrid
Despite a recent inconsistent form, Real Madrid still managed to secure a 1-1 draw against a dominant Manchester City in the first leg. Thanks to a stunning goal from Vinicius Jr, the reigning champions proved that they can still show their class, even under pressure. Their goal is now to progress towards their 15th UCL Cup and their away victories against Chelsea and Liverpool in the previous rounds suggest they might have the mettle to do so. However, a sterner test awaits in Manchester.
