A whole Champions League final is at stake. And on the pitch, everything to be decided. Manchester City and Real Madrid will play the second leg of the Champions League semi-final this Wednesday, May 17. At the moment, absolute equality after the 1-1 with which the match at the Santiago Bernabéu closed. Vinicius and De Bruyne scored, two of the stars that will once again be decisive at the Etihad Stadium. In that duel, Haaland could not shine, canceled out by Rudiger’s marking. That was one of the keys to the game.
The outcome will be in the City Coliseum, a stadium that already hosted the first leg of the semifinals in the Champions League last season, a great match that ended with a 4-3 victory for the ‘blues’. De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesús gave Guardiola’s team the advantage and Benzema closed the gap before the break. At the restart, Foden made it 3-1, and immediately afterwards Vinicius made it 3-2. Bernardo Silva and Benzema, from a penalty, closed the score of an electric game that also left everything open for the second leg.
The prize for the winner will be a place in the final on June 10 at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul. For Madrid it would be the 18th final (with 14 titles). In the case of Manchester City, it would be the second time they have been in the decisive match after doing so for the first time in 2021, when they lost to Chelsea.
