Real Madrid won the Spanish championship on Saturday and are now reaching their biggest battle of the season: the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City, six days after the English champions won at home 3: 4 in one of the best games of the season.
In the final, as is well known, awaits Liverpool, which passed Villarreal yesterday with a huge 2: 3 after being saved from a double lag in the half.
Real Madrid need a victory by two goals to qualify for the final, when a victory by a difference of one goal will drag the game into overtime.
If the Blancos reach the final, they will try for the 14th win of a lifetime - otherwise, Manchester City will face the second final in its history in an attempt to win for the first time, a year after losing 1-0 to Chelsea, and it will also be the third All-English final in four years. .. It's also a battle between Carlo Ancelotti who won three European Cups and lost the Champions League final only once, and Pep Guardiola who won the Big Ears Cup twice with Barcelona and last year lost in the final.

Ancelotti made a rotation on Saturday against Espanyol and his squad returned include fresh and fresh Danny Carvajal, Perlan Mandy, Tony Cross, Vinicius Jr. and of course Karim Benzema who also came off the bench and scored at the weekend.
Pada Valverda also at 11, with Rodrigo left on the bench.
Austrian stopper David Alaba is unfit and has been replaced by Nacho.
On the other hand, the only time in Guardiola's era that Manchester City won the first game of a double knockout meeting and were still relegated, was in the club's first season, to Monaco in 2017.
Guardiola's right-back Kyle Walker has returned, but the official line-up has yet to be announced and he will likely remain on the bench.
Injured John Stones has not returned and in the center of defense are expected to continue Americ Laporte and Ruben Diaz, while on the left wing will play Oleksandr Zinchenko.
In the link will open Kevin de Bruyne who won a rest in 0: 4 over Leeds on Saturday and the fiery Gabriel Jesus will also come up on offense,
