Real Madrid, one hurdle away from an all-Spanish Champions League final

Atletico Madrid are through to the Champions League final after knocking out a tough Bayern Munich side. Now it is Real Madrid's turn, who face Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu. A single game separates Zinedine Zidane's charges from a berth in the ultimate round of the European competition and contesting a dream final between LaLiga rivals.

Real Madrid are placing their trust in the fortitude of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to see them through to the big final after managing a goalless draw in the first leg of the semi-final against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Cristiano Ronaldo was out injured that day and Karim Benzema had to be substituted after suffering a flare-up of his injury problem. The pair also missed the last Liga BBVA game against Real Sociedad, which Madrid won thanks to a Gareth Bale strike.

However, it will be a different matter entirely in the second leg. The Portuguese star has been training with the rest of the team since Monday, auguring well for the possibility of him featuring against the English outfit. Furthermore, in his pre-match press conference, Zidane assured, "Cristiano Ronaldo is fine. He's 100%." On the flip side, Benzema and Casemiro will be unable to play in the clash at the Bernabeu. The Brazilian is suffering from a knock to his hip, whilst the Frenchman has not recovered fast enough to be recalled in time for the game.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have Yaya Toure back in team training after sitting out the first leg at the Etihad and he has been included in the squad. David Silva, however, will not be available for the match, after being ruled out for two to three weeks with a muscle problem.

One win away from the @ChampionsLeague final in Milan!
