Man City vs Real Madrid LIVE Early team news and how to watch Champions League semi-final

Manchester City will be hoping to book their place in the Champions League final when they face Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final showdown at the Etihad Stadium this evening.

City, who last reached the final of this competition in 2021, will be looking to build on last Tuesday's 1-1 first leg draw at the Bernabeu. Kevin De Bruyne netted a brilliant equaliser after Vinicius Jr had powered the Spanish side in front in the first half.

Pep Guardiola's side have since moved a step closer towards retaining their Premier League crown, meaning victory over Madrid this evening would keep their hopes of clinching a famous treble alive. Should they come out on top, they will face Inter Milan in the final on Saturday, June 10 in Istanbul.

In regards to the early team news, Guardiola has an almost fully fit squad to be able to choose from; Nathan Ake is their only expected absentee because of a calf problem. However, the likes of John Stones and Jack Grealish are pushing for recalls.
