It’s the game everyone has been waiting for; one of two epic Champions League semi-finals set to be played in the 2015-16 campaign: Manchester City vs Real Madrid.
The English Premier League giants will lock horns with the European kings on Tuesday, with the Etihad Stadium being the venue for the 1st leg, before Maneul Pellegrini's boys have to make the trip to Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Blancos are chasing a record-breaking 11th title, Man City a spot in the final for the very time in their history. Only one side can progress, though. Here are a few key stats ahead of the last 4 encounter.
Real Madrid’s impeccable recent form vs EPL clubs
Los Blancos are unbeaten in their last 8 clashes with Premier League clubs, winning 6 and drawing the remaining two. Will they stretch their unbeaten run to 9 games?
Man City’s unimpressive home form
In the knockout stages, the Citizens have only won once at home in their last four games, the sole victory being their recent triumph over PSG.
Les Merengues’ unflattering away form
Recent form, that is, as Zinedine Zidane’s boys are with only one win in their last four Champions League clash on the road.
A rampant Cristiano Ronaldo
It remains unknown what part Cristiano Ronaldo will play in Tuesday’s game – as a starter or from the bench – but Man City will definitely be wary of the Portuguese superstar.
The three-time Ballon d’Or winner has bagged 16 goals in the tournament this season, one off the record he holds for the most goals in a single campaign (17). To put that in context, the 31-year-old has scored more than five times what Man City’s top scorer Kevin de Bruyne (3) has managed.
