Game Preview
Real Madrid will be hosting Manchester City on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. In this tournament Real Madrid had to take down a scoreless Chelsea 4-0 on aggregate, while Manchester City defeated Bayern Munich 4-1 on aggregate.
Real Madrid will be coming into this game having won the Copa del Rey on Saturday against a difficult Osasuna with the score being 2-1 in favor of Los Blancos, a result that will surely boost the confidence of the team after struggling in La Liga as of recently. With five match days remaining in the La Liga, Real Madrid have almost no chances of winning the Spanish league title. So they will be prioritizing their Champions League campaign to win their 15th title in the competition. Real Madrid have six victories in their last seven games at Santiago Bernabeu and are very comfortable while playing at home. In six of these seven matches, Benzema and the team have scored at least twice against their opponents in front of their home crowd. Madrid is without Ferland Mendy due to injury. In his place, Nacho Fernandez, David Alaba or Eduardo Camaving, who has been doing a really good job at this position in the past few games, could step in as left backs.
