Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:38 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — At times the pressure of winning the Champions League has seemed too much for Manchester City’s players to bear.Real Madrid, on the other hand, keeps on setting new standards in European club soccer’s elite competition. That contrast between the rivals is just one of the reasons why Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal is so compelling, with the game delicately poised at 1-1 after the first leg.City has spent more than $1 billion on some of the world’s greatest talent, but has repeatedly fallen short on Europe’s biggest stage.Not even Pep Guardiola — a two-time winner as coach of Barcelona — has been able to change that. And with each passing year, the pressure on him grows to win the one major trophy to elude City under the ownership of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family.“The club is missing that one (trophy) and (with) the owners and the amount of money they have pumped into this club and the investment they have done, we owe that ...
