All the key news and statistics ahead of the Champions League semi-final second-leg between Real Madrid and Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday:
First leg result
Tuesday, April 26 in Manchester
Manchester City 0 Real Madrid 0
Key battle
• Lucas Vazquez v Gael Clichy: With Karim Benzema likely to miss out for Madrid, Vazquez has a strong case to start alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale up front. The Spanish winger was elevated to the first team earlier this season by Rafa Benitez and has impressed with his silky dribbles. Clichy will be on the back foot for most of the game and will have to concentrate to keep his rival quiet. Vazquez has quite an explosive burst of pace, which allows him to gain separation from his marker. His battle with Clichy, City's paciest fullback, will be enthralling.
Form
• Real Madrid: Injured Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo watched from the stands last Tuesday but the three-time World Player of the Year and the Portuguese returned to training on Sunday. He has been in blistering form in the Champions League this season, scoring 16 goals in 10 appearances. Karim Benzema came off injured at half time in the first leg and is a mild doubt. Gareth Bale was also ineffective in the first leg but his thunderous header kept an under-strength Real in the chase for the La Liga title with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Real Sociedad on Saturday, their 10th league win in a row.
• Man City: Manchester City go to Madrid knowing a score draw is enough for them to qualify for a first ever Champions League final after the 0-0 draw in Manchester last week where Joe Hart kept City's hopes alive with two key saves. But City go into the game on the back of a painful 4-2 league defeat at Southampton on Sunday where manager Manuel Pellegrini made eight changes. Only Hart, Nicolas Otamendi and Fernandinho started against Madrid and Southampton, and while Yaya Toure is expected to be fit, David Silva will miss the return leg. On a positive note striker Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice in the weekend defeat while Hart picked the ball out of his net four times mainly because he was at the mercy of his own leaky defence.
