Real Madrid and Manchester City to clash in UEFA Champions League semifinal

Real Madrid and Manchester City are set to face off against each other in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. The fixture is a repeat of last season's semifinal, and it was the Merengues who stole a last-minute comeback victory on that night. Both teams are faced with key injuries, with Real Madrid being on the edge with the participation of Luka Modric and David Alaba, while Manchester City has uncertainty over the availability of Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake. Ake is likely to make it in time to face Real Madrid after recovering from his hamstring injury, but the situation with De Bruyne is far from clear. The Belgian missed the team's clash against Fulham after sustaining an injury in the match against Arsenal. Real Madrid, however, has made significant progress in terms of injury recovery, with David Alaba having returned to group training and Ancelotti confirming that Modric was likely going to be available for both the Cup final and the UCL fixture. As it stands, there is a good chance all four stars could feature in the game, setting up an intense clash.
