Though both top stars had third-round matches to play at the Madrid Open the next day, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal took time to watch Real Madrid take on Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League semifinals Wednesday night at the famed Santiago Bernebau stadium.

The two buddies can't face off until the Madrid final.
