A pair of coveted places in the 2023 Uefa Champions League final are up for grabs this midweek, as the four remaining European football giants being their semi-finals to a head.
It promises to be a high-octane night at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, as English champions Manchester City go into their second leg with Real Madrid on level terms.
The second leg of the Milan derby, meanwhile, sees Inter in control with a 2-0 advantage going into their notional home leg at their shared San Siro Stadium on Tuesday.
Uefa Champions League predictions for 16 – 17 May
It’s a battle royale in the Uefa Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday night, as Manchester City and Real Madrid fight it out to seal a place in the 2023 final.
The record European winners head to the north west of England to play a team still craving their maiden title, despite years of Middle Eastern investment and coaching mastermind Pep Guardiola at the helm.
Kevin de Bruyne ensured the giants would come into their second leg level at 1-1 thanks to his barnstorming equalizer in the Santiago Bernabeu a week ago.
Los Blancos had earlier sucker-punched the reigning English champions, with an outstanding Vinicius Jr finish belying the away team’s dominance in the Spanish capital.
Both had chances to add to their total, although star man Erling Haaland was kept quiet by the home defence.
They will have to repeat the feat and then some at the Etihad if they are to stand a chance of making it to next month’s final in Istanbul, at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

AC Milan have it all to do when they tackle arch-rivals Internazionale in the second leg of their Uefa Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.
Part two of their Italian derby blockbuster sees the pair renew hostilities inside the iconic San Siro Stadium.
And it’s the Rossoneri who have it all to do in what is their theoretical ‘away’ leg, going into it with a two-goal deficit following last week’s first leg.
Veteran striker Edin Dzeko opened the scoring early with a neat volley, before Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled the advantage inside an astonishing first 11 minutes.
Hakan Calhanoglu struck the woodwork and Inter even had a penalty award overturned by VAR as they threatened to run away with the all-Serie A tie.
And it could have cost them when Sandro Tonali also hit a post for the defeated side.
