The real Madrid You already know who your rival will be in the semifinals of the Champions: the Manchester City from Pep Guardiola. A rival, the English team, very young in the competition (they have barely competed since 2011) with whom the Whites have only faced each other in two qualifying rounds.
They have also done so during the group stage of the 12/13 season where Madrid, coached by Jose Mourinhowon at the Bernabéu (3-2) and drew in the Etihad Stadium.
In the qualifiers, tied
Thus, in the qualifying rounds played, which have been two, the result has been a victory for the whites and another for the ‘sky blue’. The first was in the 15/16 edition, also in the semifinals, when Zidane’s men beat those then led by Mauricio Pellegrini thanks to a solitary goal Bale in the second leg.
And in the second, played on horseback during 2020, the year of the pandemic, it was City, already trained by Guardiola, who took the cat to the water in the round of 16, winning the first leg and the second leg by the same result: 1-2 and 2-1.
