Semi Finals - Update after Leg 1

Of both games played this week only one goal was scored. Manchester City and Real Madrid played their first leg in Manchester at the Ethiad Stadium to a 0 - 0 draw. Real Madrid was missing their key ingredient to success, Cristiano Ronaldo, due to injury. The line-up that their manager used against Manchester City was able to hold off the opposition until the final whistle. Manchester City suffered a loss due to injury, their playmaker David Silva had to come off early in the match due to a leg injury he sustained within the first few minutes. This draw has set the two clubs up for an all or nothing second leg in Madrid next Wednesday. Athletico Madrid was able to score in the first half against Bayern Munich and closed the game off at 1-0 pleasing the fans in attendance at the Calderon in Madrid. Saul was the man who was able to get the ball in the net for "Los Rojiblancos" and now Athletico Madrid will travel to Munich for their second leg next Tuesday with a goal in hand. The finals are approaching. Which teams will prevail? By this time next week we will know who it is that will square off in Milan for the 2016 UEFA Champions League final.
