Champions League: why Real Madrid-Manchester City is (really) a final before its time. The winner of the last Champions League, Manchester City, will therefore face its predecessor, Real Madrid.

This was already the case in the semi-finals the last two years, and each time, the winner then lifted the trophy. Of the 30 nominated for the 2023 Ballon d'Or, a third of them will take to the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday (9 p.m.)
