Kick off is almost now and of course we can't wait for it.
Judging from his current condition, the two teams don't want them to concede for the first leg because we can see from the players who will be fielded today, almost all of them are core players. This is really really worth watching because this match will definitely be very exciting.
They didn't want to play around in the first Leg this time around.
Madrid is still with the 4-3-3 scheme and the best players are indeed in the line-up this time even though Camavinga had to be forced back a bit in the position that should belong to Mendy there but because it was a long vacancy and with Camavinga's condition he was quite comfortable too being in this position then I don't think this is too problematic.
On the other hand, Manchester City with 5 clear midfielders wants to make them more flexible when in control of the ball besides that, their midfielders can also be flexible in attack and defense which makes it a little difficult for Madrid if they have to follow the rhythm of Manchester City later because when it falls to the rhythm of the game created by Manchester City, this possibility will not go well for Madrid.
Manchester City know that if they win the midfield then they will be more dominant in attack and that has been proven, since kick off they have managed to create several chances and of course this is very good to watch.
Camavinga is still quite good in that position because he is also a little more used to it. the good thing is that in this match Modric was also very ready to play even though previously he was planned to rest for 4 weeks and missed this match.
Madrid must now get out of this condition because if it is allowed to drag on, it will not be safe for them.
Bookies seem to be looking too far into Manchester City but indeed that is not wrong either and can be taken advantage of now. Even though, on the other hand, it is clear that belief is too early, it doesn't always go well, of course, especially since the two of them will return to compete with high tension..

both coaches are aware of the current state of their opponents. both are in good form and of course, they will not take this first leg lightly. because this is indeed important to continue in the second leg which might be equally difficult for both teams.
Madrid appears at home, of course, they do not want to be humiliated by City. they appeared with their best squad from the first round. this is going to be an interesting fight.
Now Manchester City want to try to get their revenge on the previous season.
They have been passionate from the start of the kick of until the 25th minute. but Madrid are also aware that they don't want to let their guard down and concede the ball just like that.
There are some things that are quite risky now, because if they defend continuously this won't be good either, but on the other hand when they try to get out of rhythm and try to catch up with Manchester City then it's also very risky with the defense they leave.
