Dates for Champions League semi-final between Man City and PSG confirmed

The dates and kick-off times for both legs of Manchester City's Champions League semi-final with Paris Saint-Germain have been confirmed.

The opening leg of what is set to be a thrilling tie will take place in PSG's Parc des Princes, Paris, on Wednesday, April 28, with kick-off coming at 8pm.

The return leg in Manchester is set to be played the following week on Tuesday, May 4, with kick-off again at 8pm. Both legs will be televised on BT Sport.

Whoever emerges victorious will then meet the winners of the other semi-final, either Real Madrid or Chelsea, in the final on Saturday, May 29, at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.

City booked their spot in the semi-final for only the second time - the first coming in 2016 and was lost to Real Madrid - and the first under the stewardship of Pep Guardiola against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night.

The Blues went into the match at Signal Iduna Park with a 2-1 advantage from the opening encounter but history looked like it might repeat itself when Jude Bellingham put the hosts ahead on the night, and on away goals, after just 15 minutes.

However, City avoided a repeat of previous quarter-final exits and turned the game around through goals from Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden.

Last year's runners-up PSG advanced to the final four by getting revenge on Bayern Munich, who narrowly defeated the Parisians in last year's final.

Though the French champions lost the second-leg 1-0, they were able to hold on to go through on away goals.
