Manchester City are just 90 minutes away from securing their second consecutive UEFA Champions League final appearance and simply need to avoid defeat to Real Madrid to secure their place in Paris on May 28.

The Citizens defeated their Spanish opposition 4-3 in the first leg of their semi-final last week, and now head to the Bernabeu tonight looking to complete the job in order to join Liverpool in the final, who beat Villarreal 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen has given his verdict on the action ahead of another huge night in the Champions League, as the semi-finals reach their conclusion.

Speaking to BetVictor , Owen said: “The first leg was a classic, this one should be just as dramatic. For Real, only losing by a goal was a brilliant result for them, and they’ll be hoping for more heroics at the Bernabeu. Benzema has obviously been incredible in this competition, Real will need more of the same if they are to go through.

“For City, I’m not sure how they didn’t win by more. They could have been three or four up in the first half, but didn’t take their chances and were left to rue them. There was some excellent performances in the side, but De Bruyne and Silva were simply brilliant.

“If City play like they did in Manchester, I think they will go through. The atmosphere in Madrid will be amazing, and Real will try to take the game to City. That should suit City though, and I can see them winning this 2-1.”
