Manchester City Hosts Real Madrid in Champions League Quarterfinal Second Leg
City Aims for Victory to Advance to Semifinals
Kickoff Set for Wednesday at Etihad Stadium
Manchester City welcomes Real Madrid to Etihad Stadium on Wednesday for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal matchup. The Citizens enter the match with a narrow 4-3 advantage from the first leg in Madrid.
Manchester City has been in impressive form in the Champions League this season, scoring three goals in each of their nine matches in the competition. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has struggled defensively, conceding at least twice in each of their last three Champions League matches.

Wednesday's match is expected to be a close and entertaining affair. Manchester City will be looking to secure their place in the semifinals for the fifth time in the last six seasons, while Real Madrid will be hoping to overturn the deficit and continue their pursuit of a record-extending 14th Champions League title.
