Real Madrid and Manchester City.. Match date and date of direct confrontations

The confrontation between Real Madrid of Spain, the defending champion a record 15 times, and Manchester City of England, tops the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, as they meet on Wednesday (12:00 UAE time) in a football summit that will not be devoid of excitement and fun.

This summit has become one of the classics of the parent European competition, as they have faced off 11 times since the 2020 season, and 15 times in total since their first encounter in the group stage of the 2013 season, noting that Real emerged victorious six times compared to City’s five and four draws.
While Real Madrid hopes for the recovery of Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, the top scorer (13), City is counting on Norwegian Erling Haaland, who scored seven goals, including the winning goal against Real Madrid in particular 2-1 during their confrontation in the unified group stage this season.

An Italian refereeing crew administers the match

The European Football Association (UEFA) announced today, Monday, that an Italian refereeing team will manage the confrontation, led by Maurizio Mariani, and assisted by Daniele Bindoni and Alberto Tigoni.
