On May 11, Beijing time, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals ended, Real Madrid and Manchester City drew 1-1, Inter beat AC Milan 2-0, who can advance to the final? Revealed a week later!
In the opening semi-final game of Wednesday morning, Real Madrid opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a long-range shot from Vinicius, but in the 67th minute, De Bruyne also blasted a wonderful world wave to help Manchester City equalise, but the goal also caused great controversy because the ball went out of bounds beforehand, and in the end, the two giants shook hands 1-1.
In the second semi-final in the early hours of Thursday morning, also the Milan derby, Inter broke out "away", opening the scoring by Dzeko in the 8th minute, and Mkhitaryan added another city in the 11th minute to establish the victory early and eventually win 2-0 against AC Milan.
So, who can make it to the finals? According to the prediction of the famous website "538", Inter has reached the final with one foot and has a 94% chance of qualifying! AC Milan have a 6% chance of reversing the cut. Indeed, since the restructuring of the Champions League, only Manchester United in 2018-19 have completed a comeback away from home in the second leg after a net loss of two goals in the first leg.
As for the other match, the website believes that Manchester City's chances of reaching the final are already as high as 70%, compared to only 30% for Real Madrid. However, in theory, after the abolition of the away goals rule, the 1-1 score is still relatively even, and the Etihad battle in the second leg is a life and death battle that is unpredictable.
The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals will begin in midweek next week. At 3 a.m. Beijing time on May 17, Inter hosted AC Milan; At 3 a.m. on the 18th, Manchester City hosted Real Madrid.
