Manchester City and Real Madrid will battle it out for a spot in the Champions League final in a winner-takes-all second leg at the Etihad on Wednesday.
The first leg saw Vinicius Junior's sensational first-half goal cancelled out by another moment of brilliance from Kevin De Bruyne, although controversy reigned as replays appeared to show the latter's strike should not have stood as the ball had previously gone out of play.
That's all in the past now, however, with two of Europe's premier heavyweights tied up on aggregate and ready to collide for a place on the biggest stage in club football.
Here's all you need to know about this one.

How to watch Man City vs Real Madrid on TV and live stream
Man City team news
Nathan Ake has been nursing a hamstring injury but was given a late fitness test before the weekend's win over Everton. The Dutch defender didn't play, perhaps to avoid unnecessary risk, but Pep Guardiola insisted he was feeling 'much better'.
Otherwise, there are no concerns for Guardiola, who rested Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva and John Stones against Everton with this game in mind.
Man City predicted lineup vs Real Madrid
Man City predicted lineup (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanjil; Stones, Rodri; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland.
Real Madrid team news
Makeshift left-back Eduardo Camavinga limped off at the weekend but Carlo Ancelotti stressed that the Frenchman's knock was 'nothing', so expect him to feature heavily once again. Reports have suggested he could return to midfield for this one.
Eder Militao is back from a European suspension and will waltz straight into the starting lineup, while Dani Carvajal can start again after missing the last La Liga game through a ban.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Man City
Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Kroos, Camavinga, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius.
Man City vs Real Madrid score prediction
Real Madrid are not scared of sitting back and gifting possession to their opponents, and they will happily repeat that game plan at the Etihad as City prepare to boast upwards of 60% possession. In this fixture, however, that statistic means nothing.
Los Blancos are menaces on the counter and know how to lure teams in, but City's firepower could simply be too strong to overcome here. Guardiola's side are buoyed by getting one hand on the Premier League title and the pursuit of a treble will have them licking their lips.
Expect plenty of goals from both sides but City may just edge it.
