Manchester City and Real Madrid will go head-to-head for a place in the UEFA Champions League semifinals on April 17.

Man City vs Real Madrid lineups, team news
Guardiola has indicated Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake are both back in contention after missing the first leg through injury and defender John Stones should also be fit.
Kevin De Bruyne is also back, after starting on the bench in Madrid, following a sickness bug for the Belgian international.
Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Akanji, Ake — Rodri, Kovacic — Silva, De Bruyne, Foden — Haaland.

Ancelotti's main selection decision comes in defence with Aurelien Tchouameni serving a suspension. The France star has filled in at centre-back in recent weeks, and club captain Nacho Fernandez could replace him, with Eder Militao only just back from a long term absence.
Real Madrid predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Lunin (GK) — Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy — Camavinga, Kroos — Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo — Vinicius Jr.
