First date of the semifinals of the Champions League between Manchester City and Madrid.
The English team, leader of the English Premier and trained by Pep Guardiola, faces the king of the competition, a Madrid that arrives launched after eliminating Chelsea in the quarterfinals and PSG in the second round.
The team led by Carlo Ancelotti enjoys an excellent moment of form against a City somewhat stuck in their last important appointments.
Guardiola has problems on the wings with Cancelo's suspension and Walker's possible suspension.
In Madrid, Casemiro is a substitute and Rodrygo plays.
Camavinga will be on the bench.

Guardiola has a very favorable record against Madrid, with 11 wins, four draws and four losses, although since leaving Barcelona (2012) his record is two wins and two losses, much more balanced.
