Man City will face Real Madrid in Champions League semi-final

The Champions League semi-final draw has been confirmed and it certainly promises to be an
eventful one for the last four sides remaining, with Manchester City playing at home in the first leg against Real Madrid.
It’s been yet another glittering campaign for the premier club competition and this week lived up to the billing, with some brilliant results across the continent.
Manchester City showed the quality within their ranks by beating Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, a result which certainly stunned many – including Laurent Blanc and his side.
The Citizens have qualified for the semi-final for the first time in their history and it promises to be an eventful night for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
The Chilean will be departing this summer and the club will be doing all they can to give him the big send off in the Champions League this season, with Pellegrini set to return to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid certainly sent shockwaves across Europe by beating reigning champions Barcelona, as Diego Simeone shot his stock up some more.
In what was a typically gritty performance from the La Liga giants, Simeone’s side are certainly seen as one of the favourites for the competition.
However, they will have rivals Real Madrid in their way, as Zinedine Zidane’s continue to silence their doubters in Europe.
Los Blancos overturned a 2-0 deficit against Wolfsburg this week thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick and Zidane will certainly be confident heading into the last four.
Bayern Munich will also been keen to give Pep Guardiola something to shout about before he leaves in the summer, after his side overcame Benfica on Wednesday night at the Estadio do Luz.
