I also think the same, for me there is no other team that is stronger in this UCL season, I do not deny that Haaland is a player who can solve a game quickly, and if Pep is a great strategist, I imagine that he has already studied Madrid from above and below and he himself recognizes that Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, he also knows that if Ancelotti assigns 2 players so that Haaland does nothing, he will disable him and let 10 players play in attack completely, this The game will be very interesting, I think that the winner here will be Madrid.
Manchester city are overhype in games compared to Real Madrid. It's important to state out the clear facts among both clubs, the Los blancos have the experience and confidence to win any opponents when it comes to UCL games while Manchester city have good records in UCL and also EPL. They got eliminated by real Madrid last season, although they will not take it easy on with real Madrid. However I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti have a way he absorbed the pressure from Pep Guardiola, he always sort out good goal opportunities against English clubs. Erling Haaland is not a threat because if city midfield is comprehended by Madrid, Haaland won't be able to net a single goal in the game.
Well, we all had the hope that Carleto could solve the difficult situation, the first game was very useful to be able to know his strategies, but the second game back was the most important, it was the definitive one, it is not to detract from the other party of the teams, but I also think that Milan lacked a lot to prove and the Real Madrid vs. Milan final could not take place, just as Madrid did not like how Milan played in the UCL semifinal , in the local League they are in a normal way, not so Prominent, normally we have seen that many teams that are first in the Local leagues and win the UCL , but this case is very Different.
The Frenchman remains a central player for Los Blancos, despite their failure to retain the La Liga and Champions League titles, in a frustrating end to the campaign.
