Date published: 15 April 2016
MANCHESTER City will face Real Madrid in the semi–finals of the Champions League.
City knocked out Paris St Germain in the quarter–finals thanks to a goal from Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne which secured a 1–0 victory at the Etihad Stadium and sent the Premier League side through 3–2 on aggregate.
Madrid recovered from a 2–0 first–leg defeat by Wolfsburg to progress to the last four following a hat–trick by former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
City will be at home in the first leg on April 26/27 before heading to the Bernabeu a week later.
The other semi–final will see Atletico Madrid, who knocked out Barcelona, take on Bayern Munich, managed by Pep Guardiola in what will be his final season before taking over at City next season.
