Real Madrid take on the visitors Manchester City in the second leg of UEFA Champions League semifinals. The first leg result: 3-4. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 4th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Ancelotti turned out to be the right choice, and has already won the Super Cup and Primera with the new-old clab. Now they can fully focus on the Champions League. Everything was fine there at the group stage (except for the misfire with the debuting Sheriff), but in the playoffs everything was not without hassle. With PSG, for a half before the final whistle, they “burned” the French in 2 goals - but pulled out Benzema with his hat-trick. Karim repeated this with Chelsea in London, but, as if underestimating the possibility of the “aristocrats” for a comeback, the “royal club” missed the Santiago Bernabeu three times. And only then Modric and the same Benzema flashed again, giving the Galacticos a pass to the semi-finals. There, in Manchester, only due to the double of the Frenchman and a glimpse of the genius of Vinicius Junior, it turned out to lose minimally.

Manchester city managed to pass not only the group stage without any special problems, but also, out of habit, to the 1/8 finals. Problems arose with the quarter-finals: Atlético resisted, and in 2 matches they managed to score only once - and it's great for City that De Bruyne did it. With "Real" was a completely different picture. In the end, Manchester City won, but obviously not as big as they could. Here and the fact that, leading 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2, the hosts won minimally there, and a lot of moments that ruined at the goal of Courtois.
Real Madrid was at first more successful in duels - in 2012 and 2016, the Spaniards took wins and draws. But in the previous matchup, in the round of 16 in 2020, Manchester City took a convincing revenge, winning 2-1. Real Madrid lost not only Hazard, but also Alaba. Manchester City remains, like the whole season, without Mendy, and now 2 more defenders, Walker and Stones, are in question Real Madrid knows how to surprise and will definitely play to win. So, it should be again many scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored.
