Man City vs Real Madrid live today: 3-0 via own goal - is that the preliminary decision?
76th minute: 3-0! The decision should now have been made! De Bruyne brings the ball into the Real sixteen via a free kick and Manuel Akanji does the thing with his head. However, Eder Militão still falsifies untenably, so that the goal is counted as an own goal.
75th minute: Eduardo Camavinga is shown a yellow card for a foul on Grealish.
73rd minute: Great chance Haaland! Gündogan with a heel sugar pass to the star striker, who is completely free to play in the visitors' sixteen - but this time again finds his current champion in Courtois. The Real keeper directs the ball to the crossbar with his hip.
70th minute: 20 minutes left. Real continues to improve significantly in the second half. However, a real turnaround is not yet in the air.
70th minute: Perhaps the best guest player leaves the pitch: Toni Kroos is substituted, Marco Asensio comes into the game for her

Break at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. ManCity deservedly lead 2-0 and have opened the door to the CL final! The English dominate the duel from the start, bringing it to 13:1 shots and 72:28 percent ball possession. Real Madrid are almost non-existent offensively - apart from a rich crossbar hit by Toni Kroos in the 34th minute. Can Real Madrid react and start a fightback? As is well known, you can never write off the royals. We're about to continue!
45th minute: Bernardo Silva is aiming for a hat-trick. But his shot from just under 16 meters is a bit too harmless. Courtois holds the ball without any problems.
44th minute: City in particular continue to press. Real continue to lose the ball far too often and far too early. Carlo Ancelotti does not look satisfied at all.

35th minute: Goal! It's 2-0! Again, Bernardo Silva is on the spot, this time with his head!

34th minute: Kroos unpacks the hammer! What a tight shot from the German Real star from distance. The leather slams against the crossbar - Ederson was still very light. First chance for Madrid.
32nd minute: Real's Vinicius Jr. at least makes it into the City sixteen with the ball - but is easily intercepted.
26th minute: Next chance from Haaland from a good 20 meters - but Ball misses the Real box. Real is trying to squirm - but so far the royals have not come up with much in the forward movement.
Man City vs Real Madrid live today: 1-0! Bernardo Silva ice cold

21st minute: Courtois holds! And not everyone holds Haaland's header! Huge chance for the home side after a corner - but the Real keeper stretches and parries sensationally.

Update, 20:55 p.m.: The City anthem is playing at the packed and atmospheric Etihad Stadium in Manchester (approx. 55,000). So the mood is already there - and the ball is about to roll here!
Update, 20:30 p.m.: The home team will face Everton in the Premier League with the tailwind of a 3-0 away win. The in-form Ilkay Gundogan contributed two goals at the weekend to the English league leaders' 27th league victory. Real Madrid, runners-up in LaLiga, were also victorious on Saturday, narrowly defeating Getafe 1-0. However, the Ancelotti team no longer has a chance of winning the league title.
Update, 19:48 p.m.: The lineups are there - and there is only one change overall, but a surprising one! DFB international Antonio Rüdiger, who did a very good job in the first leg against City superstar Haaland, has to take a seat on the bench for the time being. His centre-back position in Real Madrid's starting XI will be taken over by Eder Militao today. In return, there are no changes - at least compared to the first meeting - in the starting line-up of Pep Guardiola's Citizens.
Update, 19.15: Welcome to the live ticker for the Champions League semi-final second leg between Manchester City and Real Madrid. The match starts at 21 p.m. and will be broadcast live on DAZN. First of all, the respective starting line-ups of today's two opponents, who are fighting for a place in the CL final, should be announced shortly.

First reported on 16 May: Manchester - After Inter Milan have already qualified for this year's Champions League final in the semi-finals against AC Milan, all football enthusiasts are now asking themselves one more question: Who will follow the Italians into the final of the Champions League? Manchester City and Real Madrid are still in business. Both top teams, which some observers would have liked to see as duel partners in the final, still have every chance of the last final ticket after the 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Champions League: Semi-final between Man City and Real Madrid live today
After the first meeting of the Citizens, one scene in particular caused a sensation: the remarkable equaliser by City star Kevin de Bruyne in the 67th minute. The goal was immediately preceded by a scene in which Manchester's Bernardo Silva had brought the leather into the field just behind the touchline.
However, the video assistant and the referee did not intervene. "The ball was out. That's not what I'm saying, that's what technology says," said Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, struggling with the decision after the encounter.

Champions League: Real Madrid and Man City deliver a repeat of the 2022 semi-finals
Incidentally, today's encounter, which is known to be a replay of the curious semi-final of 2022, means a record for Ancelotti: with 191 games as coach in the UEFA Champions League, he overtakes Sir Alex Ferguson (190 games) and is now alone in first place in this statistic.
Real can probably go into the duel a little more rested today, for whom there is not so much at stake in the first Spanish league - Primus FC Barcelona is unassailably far ahead here. Madrid can therefore concentrate fully on the Champions League. Guardiola's team, in which star striker Erling Haaland was rather inconspicuous in the first leg, on the other hand, is still in the middle of the fight for the title in the Premier League, where they recently celebrated twelve victories in a row.
