Both teams has quite a record in the Champions league although Real Madrid have dropped drastically in terms of form and Manchester City on the other hand are showing huge improvement this season. I think Real Madrid will be facing a tough test going head to head against this formidable Manchester City team.
I don't even think if real madrid has been dropping so hard. I meant we are talking about UCL. Real madrid may be having bad results in the previous matches on la liga but it's quite different when it comes to the UCL. Real madrid is still having good win rate at this moment as well as manchester city. Ancelotti is putting a lot of his focus in the match against manchester city caused by it will become the hardest match for real madrid. It will be even far harder compared with the match against barcelona. Real Madrid needs to take serious preparation right now.
De bruyne is coming back right now. Real madrid needs to use everything to stop haaland. Haaland is the main problem for real madrid. As long as real madrid knew how to stop him and it's gonna be a very important thing for madrid to win the game against city in santiago bernabeu.
I think that Manchester City is the favorite to qualify further in this encounter.I am not in any way underestimating Real Madrid as they have won Champions League more than any other team and not for nothing they are called the team Queen of Europe but because this time simply Manchester City has better quality players than Real does with all due respect to Real.
Manchester City was near eliminating them last year when their quality was not the same as this year and they lost it I don't know why in the last 3 minutes of the second encounter but I know this most likely won't happen again.
In football, many things are not logical, but eventually they happen, so it is very difficult to predict anything in advance.
Who could have expected that at the World Cup in Qatar, Morocco and Croatia would knock Spain, Portugal and Brazil out of the competition and play in the semi-finals?
Who could have expected that Real would win the Champions League several times in recent years, while PSG and Manchester City never?
Yes, the quality of football players is very important, but it is not crucial because otherwise Manchester City and PSG, who bought the best and most expensive players, should play in the Champions League final every year.
Much more important is the internal unity of the team, the experience of playing under great pressure and the confidence that you will win even in the most difficult possible situations. Real have shown that they have it all, and Manchester City have yet to show that they have what it takes to win the Champions League.
