However, Real Madrid found a way back into the game and went on to beat Manchester City 3-1 in the second leg which meant Ancelotti’s side advanced into the final after winning 6-5 on aggregate.

Manchester City are currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table, after beating Leeds United by two goals to one on Saturday afternoon.

Key players missing

Manchester City are currently without Nathan Ake, after he was forced off after picking up a hamstring injury against Leeds United. Real Madrid will be without Ferland Mendy on Tuesday night after he picked up a thigh injury in early April. The Spanish side will also be without Eder Militao. The Brazilian will be out due to a one game suspension for picking up a yellow card in their previous round of the Champions League against Chelsea.
