Manchester City played a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, to seal a 4-1 aggregate win over the German giants.
Real Madrid who defeated Chelsea with a 4-0 aggregate score, would now face Man City in the semi-final of the Champions League.
Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals on May 9 and May 17.
The Los Blancos will host the first leg on the 9th before going away to the Etihad on May 17.
For many, this is the final before the final. The winner of this tie will meet the winner between Milan duo AC and Inter Milan.
Manchester City have also been tagged as the favourites to win the Champions League this season.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is happy to be regarded as Champions League underdogs.
Ancelotti was asked if he’s concerned that Manchester City are rated as favourites for the title.
He replied, “It doesn’t bother me, because the truth is that there are several teams in England that compete well, they are very strong and have players who compete at a very high level – for all of that, I am not surprised that they are rated as favourites, like Manchester City is now.
“I could say that that there is a difference – European clubs are showing that the opposite is true. Last season, there were two Spanish clubs in the Champions League semi-finals, and this year there are three Italian sides in the quarter finals. European football is more competitive than many people think, especially the English, who think they have the strongest league, the most spectacular league in the world, but other European teams who have less money to invest, continue competing, like Italian football and Spanish football.”
