Real Madrid and Manchester City will face off in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday, April 11. The two teams are familiar foes, having met in the group stage of the competition in 2019-20. Manchester City won both matches, but Real Madrid got the last laugh, defeating City in the semifinals on their way to winning the title.
Real Madrid will be looking to continue their recent good form, having won their last three matches in all competitions. They will be without Karim Benzema, who is injured, but they have plenty of other attacking options, including Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.
Manchester City are also in good form, having won their last four matches in all competitions. They will be without Kevin De Bruyne, who is suspended, but they have a deep squad and should be able to cope with his absence.
The match is expected to be a close one. Real Madrid have the experience of winning the Champions League recently, but Manchester City have the quality to beat any team on their day. It should be a fascinating match-up between two of the best teams in Europe.
