How to watch Real Madrid vs Man City: The Champions League semi-finals get underway as the holders Real host Man City in the first leg. Here’s how to watch online and listen for free.
Could this finally be Manchester City and Pep Guardiola’s year in the Champions League? What’s being viewed as the de facto final sees City visit Real Madrid (no disrespect to the Milan clubs), who know a thing or too about getting the job done in this competition.
The 14-times holders knocked Manchester City out at the same stage last season in the most dramatic fashion and went on to vanquish Liverpool in the final.
This year, it’s the other way around. The King’s Club has already vanquished Liverpool (and, as it did last season, Chelsea) on the way to the semis and City are next on the way to retaining ol’ Big Ears.
City, once again, are the slight favourites to advance, but you bet against Real Madrid at your peril in this competition. Real have home advantage in the first leg and will hope to build a healthy lead ahead of the second leg a week tomorrow.
