Two European giants Real MadridandManchester City will meet in an epicChampions Leaguesemi-final second-leg encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The tie is finely balanced as the two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg back in Spain and they have all to do for a place in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
Man City are currently on a 15-match winning streak at the Etihad across all tournaments - scoring at least twice in 14 of those contests - and if they can come out unscathed against Los Blancos it will be a night etched in history.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid head into this game on the back of a slender 1-0 win against Getafe in La Liga. They have previously won in England against Liverpool and Chelsea in this edition of the Champions League and would be eager to repeat their heroics against a well-drilled City side.
However, Carlo Ancelotti's troops would have in their mind that they fell 4-3 against City away from home in the previous season and would look to tread with caution in a make-or-break fixture.
