The semifinals get underway on Tuesday evening with Manchester City hosting Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium. City have already come through one bruising encounter with a team from the Spanish capital, seeing off Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the quarterfinals, while Real edged Chelsea \u2013 ending their reign as European champions \u2013 5-4 on aggregate thanks mainly to the brilliance of Karim Benzema.<\/p>\n

Citizens manager Pep Guardiola is looking forward to the challenge. \u201cIf we play like we did in the second half [of the second leg against Atletico], we have no chance. If we play like the first leg and in parts of the first half [of the second leg], we can compete\u2026 and we\u2019ll have moments to suffer,\u201d said the City boss.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t give up and we kept believing. We showed huge character [to defeat Chelsea],\u201d said Real\u2019s key midfielder Luka Modric. \u201cThis stadium [Santiago Bernabeu] and these fans were very helpful. When we were losing 3-0, they kept supporting us and that gave us another boost to continue believing we could turn this around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second semifinal opens on Wednesday evening at Anfield, as Liverpool \u2013 who outgunned Benfica 6-4 on aggregate in a hugely entertaining quarterfinal \u2013 come up against \u2018giant killers\u2019 Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine took down Bayern Munich 2-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals, having also ousted Juventus in the previous round, Can they add the Reds to their list of impressive scalps?<\/p>\n

\u201cTo achieve something, you have to do important things and beat the favourites. That [round of 16] game against Juventus gave us a lot of confidence. In the semifinals, we will try to create circumstances so that we have our chances. Liverpool are a great team. It will be a great semifinal to enjoy,\u201d said Villarreal manager Unai Emery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never take something like this for granted. I\u2019m really, really happy. It\u2019s going to be really, really difficult against Villarreal, but it\u2019s the semifinal of the Champions League \u2013 if it wasn\u2019t difficult there would be something wrong,\u201d said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
