Champions League Semifinal Leg 1

This will be different to my other CL posts, and I will just be sharing my thoughts on the games.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid

What a game this was. 2 goals in the first ten minutes, and Real Madrid fighting back whenever they needed to.

Shout out to Karim Benzema for another stellar performance; his goal and ‘Panenka’ penalty meaning City only have a one goal advantage as the game ended 4-3. It’s the Bernabeu next for Pep Guardiola’s side, and we all know what Los Blancos are capable of when they’re focused.

Liverpool v Villarreal

This was a good game, not as action-packed as the night before but still good.

Liverpool ended the night at Anfield 2-0 up on aggregate, and will travel to Spain for the second game on Tuesday.

Special shout out to the Villarreal fans for having one of the best away ends at Anfield.

How will the games go?

Honestly, I’m not sure. But I can GUARANTEE Real Madrid will fight back the way they did in the second leg of the quarter-finals when Chelsea found the aggregate lead.

Liverpool look as if they might just have the edge, but let’s not count out Villarreal.
