20:35 Just 10 minutes left till kick off.

20:30 Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany returns in his right-sided center back role.

20:00 Real Madrid winger Ronaldo surprisingly ruled out of the match. He is not even on the substitutes' bench.

19:50 Manchester City's starting line-up: Joe Hart, Bacary Sagna, Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Otamendi, Gael Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Jesus Navas, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero

19:45 Real Madrid's starting line-ups: Keylor Navas, Dani Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez, Karim Benzema

19:15 Manchester City will miss Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure due to injury. Real Madrid have a fully fit squad. 

18:50 They fared better in the return fixture, coming back to draw 1-1 thanks to Sergio Aguero's penalty after an opening goal from Karim Benzema.

17:15 The teams' only previous competitive meetings were in the group stage of the 2012/13 competition, with City leading twice in the first game before losing 3-2 to a stoppage-time winner from Cristiano Ronaldo.

16:14 Wales forward Bale has, however, warned City that Real, who are appearing in their 27th European Cup semifinal, will seek to inflict some damage before finishing the job next week.

"I think that the most important thing is to score away from home, said Bale, who scored twice as Real came back to beat Rayo Vallecano 3-2 in La Liga at the weekend.

16:00 Aguero, who recently reached the 100-goal milestone in the Premier League, never finished on the winning side against Real while he was at Atletico Madrid and he will be itching to put the record straight against the 10-times European champions.

15:40 The Wolfsburg loss gives City cause for optimism, though, and with their Argentina striker Sergio Aguero and Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne finishing the season with a flourish, Real's defence will be given a testing examination.

15:20 Since the beginning of March Zinedine Zidane's side have won nine La Liga games in a row and even when they suffered a hiccup in a 2-0 defeat by Wolfsburg in the Champions League quarterfinal they responded with a 3-0 home victory.

14:55 While City's recent form has been on the rise, if a little late to stop the Premier League's fairytale title hunters Leicester City, Real have been almost unstoppable of late as they try and chase down Barcelona in La Liga.

14:45 Ronaldo has scored 47 times this season, including 16 in just 10 Champions League appearances, but Pellegrini says he knows how to stop the Portuguese goal machine.

"I knew all about him from (my team) playing (against) Manchester United when I was at Villarreal," Pellegrini said.

14:00 First, however, City's defence must find a way of keeping Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema quiet at their Etihad Stadium so as to arrive at their opponents' Santiago Bernabeu fortress with something tangible to hang on to.

13:35 They also kept alive the intriguing possibility of a Milan final against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, whose manager Pep Guardiola will take over the Manchester City hot seat from former Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini next season.

13:20 In seeing off Paris St Germain, who have similar financial muscle, in the quarterfinals they delivered a powerful statement of intent to reach their first semifinal since a European Cup Winners' Cup defeat by Chelsea in 1971.

12:45 The Abu Dhabi-backed English club have already broken new ground this season, moving past the last 16 stage that proved their limit for the past two seasons having failed even to survive the group stage prior to that.

12:00 Until this season Manchester City's progression in the Champions League could be measured in baby steps but on Tuesday they can make a huge leap forward when they host Real Madrid in their first European semifinal for 45 years.
