We simulated Man City vs Real Madrid and this was the final score

A place in the Champions League final is up for grabs when Manchester City host Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg on Wednesday.

Kevin De Bruyne got on the scoresheet in the first leg in Madrid last week to earn a 1-1 draw for City, with the game hanging in the balance ahead of the second leg. It was a very even match-up between the two, though Pep Guardiola will be hoping his side's current run of form and home advantage could tip the game in their favour.

A place in the final is on the line for City who are looking to win their first-ever Champions League trophy, whilst Madrid will be looking to defend the title after being crowned victorious last year. City managed to rest the likes of De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and John Stones in their last outing prior to Wednesday's clash where Ilkay Gundogan netted twice in a 3-0 win over Everton.

So, can City overcome Madrid to reach the Champions League final? We simulated the clash to find out. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that City could line up in a 3-2-4-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji; Rodri, Stones; Bernardo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland.

We predict that the visitors could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Camavinga; Valverde, Modric, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius.

City controlled the first half in Madrid in the first leg, but it was the opposite at the Etihad with the visitors creating some big chances in the early stages. Manuel Akanji was struggling to deal with the threat down
