CBS Sports will be broadcasting the match live, with the show "The Golazo Show" hosted by Nico Cantor. Former Everton manager Roberto Martinez will be among the guest experts. Watch the best highlights of the Champions League below. You won't believe how much action took place!
The first game of the semifinals was the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid. The Premier League side stormed into a 2-0 lead, and Pep Guardiola had John Stones plays on the right. Before half-time, Stones picked up a knock and his team was reduced to a one-goal deficit. But a second-half goal by Karim Benzema cut the deficit to two, but the Citizens restored the lead through Phil Foden. Afterwards, a counterattack goal by Vinicius Junior helped Real Madrid score in the Champions League.
Real Madrid are threatening on the counter, but Chelsea have started to build their head of steam and score the opener. After an excellent ball from Vinicius, Benzema heads home. The first half highlights the game's most dramatic moments. However, Chelsea's early goals could have been even better. The first goal was made by Karim Benzema, who made the most of a mistake by Rudiger. However, the Champions League game will have a number of other defining moments.
Real Madrid holds strong in midfield and defense. Kroos, Casemiro, and Modric make a superb timing tackle. Valverde's side holds firm to deny Chelsea's attacks while allowing Benzema more freedom to operate. Before the halftime whistle, Chelsea striker Azpilicueta fires a long-range effort into the penalty area. But Courtois tips the strike away to the right of the goalkeeper. With less than three minutes to play, Chelsea strike again.
PSG's second half performance was one of the best in recent memory. Their game against Real Madrid was a fantastic showcase for their attacking talent. In the first half, PSG looked lively and fast but were unlucky to concede a goal. Then, after the goal, PSG took control of the tie. Their stars, Messi and Neymar, have been sharp and impressive throughout the season. They have been particularly impressive against Madrid, with Benzema providing a superb assist in the final minutes of the game.
The first goal, scored by Gabriel Jesus, came from the corner of the box. The goal was his fifth in Champions League, and it was also his fourth of the season. A few minutes later, Real Madrid scored again to make it 2-1. The hat-trick by Benzema makes this game stand out among Champions League games. Then, it was time for another brace by the Brazilian midfielder.
