A place in the Champions League semi-finals is at stake tonight at the Etihad as Manchester City take on Real Madrid in the quarter-finals second leg. 

The first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu produced a dramatic 3-3 draw as the game swung one way and then the other to set up tonight’s second leg with all to play for.

Manchester City won the treble last season, including the Champions League for the first time. They are currently top of the Premier League and into the FA Cup semi- finals and Bernardo Silva is eager to replicate their achievements of last season. 
“We want to create the legacy. We want two Trebles in a row,” said Silva.

“We want four Premier Leagues in a row. We want the Champions League twice in a row. If we win two Trebles in a row that would be legacy. [But] in one week we could be out of all the competitions. But we are fighting.”

Manchester City are set to be boosted by the returns of Kyle Walker, who has missed City’s last four matches, and Nathan Ake. Having picked up a yellow card in the first few minutes of the first leg last week, Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended tonight.

They also remain without Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba.

Between the two legs, Manchester City prepared for tonight’s game with a 5-1 home win over Luton which took them to the summit of the Premier League. Real Madrid were in La Liga action away at Mallorca on Saturday where they won 1-0 and they are currently eight points clear at the top with seven games remaining.

These two sides met in the semi-finals of the competition a year ago and it was all square at 1-1 after the first leg in Madrid. However Manchester City obliterated Real 4-0 at the Etihad to cruise into the final, where they beat Inter Milan 1-0 to seal their first Champions League crown.

Will the second leg produce the same drama as the first? Will Real avenge their heavy defeat at the Etihad last season? Who will book their place in the semi-finals?

The next few hours will provide the answers to all those questions. Follow all the action with us here.
