Real looked to be staring elimination in the face in the last round, only for , having lost the first leg 2-0 in Germany.
And its reward for that stunning comeback is a last-four clash against a City side that is in uncharted territory.
The
English Premier League team has never been in a Champions League
semifinal in its history, and will now face the club that has won the
trophy more times than any other.
City
will take confidence from its elimination of Paris Saint-Germain in the
quarterfinals, and manager Manuel Pellegrini will be eager to take his
team into the final with Pep Guardiola due to replace him at the end of
the season.
City will need to stop
Ronaldo over the two games, with the Portugal captain having been in
inspired form in the competition this season with 16 goals to his name
-- more than any other player.
The
two sides have met twice in the Champions League before, coming up
against each other in the group stages during the 2012-13 season.
Real won the first clash 3-2, while the return game ended in a 1-1 draw.
