Real Madrid are the holders of this competition, having beaten Liverpool in last season's final, and they are also the record champions with 14 titles in their cabinet.
Man City hopes to reach their second Champions League final as they continue to hunt for their maiden title. When they reached the final in 2021, they lost it to Chelsea.
Kevin De Bruyne came out on top of the midfield battle that had two of the World's greatest midfielders, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos picking the man of the match accolade and will once again be reliable for the Cityzens tonight.
Vinicius Jr was a menace to Manchester City's defence a week ago, especially on the right flank of the pitch against Kyle Walker, and it will require the latter to be more vigilant if he is to stop the Brazilian from shinning tonight.
