Real Madrid are the defending champions, and only Manchester City stand in their way of having a chance at back-to-back titles.
Last year, Real Madrid pulled off an outstanding comeback to secure a 6-5 aggregate against City, and went on to beat Liverpool in the final. However, this time, the second leg will be played at the City of Manchester Stadium, and City are unbeaten in 14 games at home.
The first leg was an exciting match and could have gone either way. It is important to note that both goalkeepers provided game-changing saves.
With both teams looking so sharp, and appearing to have no clear advantage over the other during the first leg, the edge has to go to Manchester City simply for being at home.
City have an immense record at home this season with 59 goals scored and only 17 conceded.
Pinnacle have Manchester City as strong favourites at 1.645*, but both teams to score at 1.709* looks like a handy side bet.
