[Twitter]Real Madrid and Manchester City drew 1-1 in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals on Tuesday after long-range strikes by Vinícius Júnior and Kevin de Bruyne. Madrid beat City in last year’s semifinals and went on to win a record-extending 14th Champions League title while the English club again fell short of European success. Vinícius created problems for the City defense and opened the scoring in the 36th with his seventh Champions League goal this season. City played in its first Champions League final two seasons ago, losing to Chelsea. Madrid, which won the Copa del Rey title this past weekend, is virtually out of contention in the Spanish league and can fully focus on the semifinal against City.
