Are there fireworks?
Update from April 26, 8:34 p.m .:
In addition to Toni Kroos, Real Madrid has another ex-kicker from FC Bayern in the ranks.
David Alaba got fit in time and is in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven.
The coach also has an FCB past, even if it's not quite as successful.
Update from April 26, 8:29 p.m .: Everyone
is talking about it – and is also celebrating its anniversary today.
Benzema is playing his 600th game (!) for Real Madrid today.
We're curious if Pep's defense can stop Los Blancos' attacker.
We'll know more in about half an hour.
We're excited!
Update from April 26, 7:48 p.m.:
The lineups are here!
Benzema and Toni Kroos are of course in the starting XI for the Royals.
At Man City, on the other hand, İlkay Gündoğan is only on the bench.
ManCity against Real Madrid today in the live ticker: Benzema and the advantage against Lewandowski
First report:
Munich – Without FC Bayern, the Champions League turns into the home straight.
The semifinals are coming up!
In the first semi-final, Manchester City awaits the royal team from Real Madrid.
At the Etihad Stadium, the Skyblues want to lay the foundation for reaching the final.
But does it work?
With Karim Benzema, Real currently has the world's best striker in its ranks.
The FCB fans probably won't like to hear that, but it was the Frenchman who actually single-handedly shot the royal team into the semi-finals.
Against PSG in the round of 16 and then against defending champions Chelsea, Benzema was the towering player.
And Robert Lewandowski?
He could not lead his Bayern to the last four - and therefore failed to provide proof.
In addition, the Pole is more in the media at the moment because there is speculation about a premature departure of the world footballer from Säbener Straße.
As is well known, his contract expires in 2023.

Maybe there will be a duel between Benzema and Lewandowski in La Liga next season.
Lewy is traded as a newcomer to FC Barcelona.
So far these are all just rumours.
