Manchester City Reach Champions League Semi-finals with Emphatic Win

City Dominate Over Two Legs to Secure Place in Last Four

Manchester City have booked their place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League after a comprehensive victory over Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals.

City won the first leg 2-1 in Germany, and they followed that up with a 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. They will now face either Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-finals.

City's dominance

City were the dominant team throughout the two legs, and they created a host of chances. They could have won by a more comfortable margin, but they were wasteful in front of goal.

The Citizens had 62% possession in the second leg, and they completed 874 passes. They also had 20 shots on goal, compared to Dortmund's 10.

Dortmund's resilience

Despite City's dominance, Dortmund showed great resilience and determination. They defended valiantly, and they always looked dangerous on the counter-attack.

Erling Haaland gave Dortmund the lead in the second leg, but City came back to win thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden.

City's semi-final opponents

City will now face either Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-finals. Real Madrid won the first leg of their quarter-final against Chelsea 3-1, so they will be favourites to progress.

However, Chelsea will be no pushovers. They have a good record against Real Madrid, and they will be confident of causing an upset.

City's chances of winning the Champions League

City are now one of the favourites to win the Champions League. They have a strong squad, and they have shown that they can beat the best teams in Europe.

However, there are still some other strong teams in the competition, such as Bayern Munich and Liverpool. City will need to be at their best if they want to lift the trophy.
