I saw that most of people predicted that if manchester city would be winning the game against real madrid. I have different opinion regarding it. We shouldn't underestimate Real Madrid, who have won the most UCL trophies. Real madrid was a club with full of surprises. The fact that if real madrid has been winning the game so many times in UCL. Real madrid is also having more experience compared with manchester city in term to win the UCL.
Manchester City are like newbie in Champions League whilst Real Madrid are like a senior guy there. Manchester City are strong and can have very excellent form but they don't have a huge successful history like Real Madrid which is important for player confidence at difficult times. With this pride of their successful history as well as their capability, Real Madrid players don't give up till last minutes of any match. This gives them unbelievable strength to make some crazy come backs in the past season as the most recent memory we can have.
Indeed Manchester City have never won a trophy in the champions league, they have only ever entered the semi-finals and even then in the 2015 season, and today they are dealing with a club that has brought home the champions league trophy 14 times, it will indeed be a fierce match.
Judging by what Manchester City has shown this season, it has performed much better, especially after the emergence of Haaland into their squad
History is important but history is made by people not by the air. Manchester City are improving themselves and maintaining their good performances in Champions League in latest seasons. Sooner or later, with such good performances, they will get enough luckiness to win Champions League.
Haaland is like a player who can help Manchester City to perfect their attacking system and can have more options to attack and score goals. With Haaland, Manchester City are more unpredictable in their attacking operations. He can have some more improvements at his age and it will be helpful for Manchester City in Champions League.
