Citizens unchanged from first leg, Ancelotti drops Rudiger

Manchester City are eyeing a place in the Champions League final as they take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their tie this evening. 

The Citizens claimed a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu last week, with Kevin De Bruyne’s equaliser cancelling out Vinicius Junior’s brilliant strike. 

De Bruyne’s goal has given Pep Guardiola’s side a crucial advantage in the tie ahead of the second leg, with Real now needing to win away from home. 

If City do come out on top, they will secure a place in Istanbul to face either Inter Milan in their second final in the last three seasons.
