Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet each other already on the quarter-final of the Champions League competition Undecided

. It is actually a little sad for me. I really wanted these two to actually meet each other later in the competition. But it is what it is. Now we will have seen crazy things happen previously between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League competition.

The thing is on paper to me it looks like Manchester City has the upper hand. But at the same time, we have seen Real Madrid bring in crazy performances in the Champions League, even against Manchester City. So I think anything goes in this class. And remember this is going to be played over two legs. So both of the teams are going to have genuine chances. But I still think Manchester City should be better ready for the competition.

I also think like that and this is a final match that is too fast but at least we will be presented with one of the most exciting matches in this quarterfinal round. Manchester City certainly still considers Real Madrid to be the opponent they have to get rid of if they want to win the Champions League title again and vice versa for Real Madrid, if they send Manchester City home then they will have a greater chance of winning this title after the last time in 2021.

Actually, it's not a long time for Real Madrid, but in a competition they are very good at, they want to continue adding to their trophy collection in the cabinet. Statistically, Manchester City is still superior, but it is very narrow and I think Real Madrid could match their statistics by beating Manchester City. But I am quite pessimistic considering that Manchester City still dominates in terms of all existing sectors. However, it would be De Javu if Real Madrid could reverse the aggregate as happened 3 years ago.

It's easy to predict, the winner is Manchester City.

Real Madrid was struggle to beat Leipzig, Leipzig isn't really a strong team. But Real Madrid beat them with small margin, unlike Manchester City which destroy Copenhagen in both match.

First leg, Manchester City will win, so it's good to make a bet.

But for the second leg, Manchester City might not use all of their strength because they want to secure the points.

Is it that easy? I'm not that confident for now. Sad

Manchester City are surely favoured for next round but still the team they are playing against is Real Madrid. The first leg is going to be played at Santiago Bernabeu by the way. Do you think Manchester City will get a comfortable win even there?

I think the first leg will be a pretty close one just like in their latest draw against each other. But for Etihad I can say Manchester City will have a serious potential to get a more comfortable win.

I still can't forget that embarrassing 4-0 loss for Real Madrid there. Sad

Even without Haaland's score contribution Manchester City were capable to do this.

I totally get why you're rooting for Man City in this first game. They've been getting good results lately, and having the home field advantage for the second game is huge. You know that they've made crazy comebacks at the Etihad before, right? Rodri has been great in the middle, Stones is rock solid at the back, and man... Foden has a spark that can make a game very open. That kid will take a mile if you give him an inch. That's something Real Madrid has to be very aware of. I really think that City will make a big statement with this first win, giving them a big lead going into the semifinals

If we look at the level of consistency and performance during this season, I actually think that Man City will be superior to Real Madrid. It's just that Real Madrid is a giant club and is also the club that has won the most titles in the Champions League. So they have far superior experience in facing every strong team in the Champions League. And Real Madrid is currently stronger than last season. Because the evidence is that currently Real Madrid can be said to be quite safe at the top of the Laliga standings. And Real Madrid looks like it will lift the Laliga trophy this season. So it can be said that Real Madrid's performance can really make Man City difficult. Although I still think Man City will be the favorite. But if I think longer, Real Madrid could actually surprise us by beating Man City. Because Real Madrid has a strong ambition to take revenge against Man City on the field, especially in the UCL.

There were a few changes in Madrid. It added only Bellingham and Josélu to the squad. I don't see anything special when Madrid faces Manchester City. Madrid is clearly losing the quality of its squad. The city has a goal machine and king assist. I'd like to remind you that City has a strong defensive line compared to Real Madrid.
We have stones back to play in the squad, which is excellent to see him play in the main squadr. Pep can also use a three or four-back formation to prevent Real Madrid from scoring. We have a good RB who will impede Vinicius's movement and i believe walker will be pocketing him again. If anyone still doubts Walker's ability to guard Vini, he should look at last season's results when vini did nothing against walker.

Vini was alwasy showing amazing performance caused by he was fast but city has walker who can also as fast as him. It must be noted that if walker has better phisyc compared to the vini too. Pep may be using four back which is putting gvandiol as LB.
Kevin de bruyne was totally ready in destroying real madrid. Madrid

No ceballos, No alaba and eder militao. Haaland needs to rematch against rudiger which has always becoming his biggest obstacle in the match against real madrid.

The game between Manchester City and Real Madrid is the one that is going to get more attentions because those are the two teams I thought they would meet themselves at the EUFA champions league final,but they decided to make them have a clash before the final,and that is a good news for other teams in the champions league.No team ever wanted to meet either Real Madrid or Mancity because of how aggressive they play,
Meanwhile Mancity are confident they would eliminate Madrid as usual,but I know Madrid are in a very good form,and won't want to slip for Mancity to just win them like that.Madrid are full of young and vibrant kids who are ready to take the game to another level.

Why do you make a comparison between Girona who is in La Liga and an English team like Manchester City who is currently in the Champions League and is also in a not bad position in the Premier League? I don't think that the two teams can be compared well enough because I think the strengths of Girona and Manchester City are very different. So Real Madrid must be able to provide more different resistance to Manchester City because the team is still quite strong this season and still has to be really taken into account by Real Madrid in the Champions League.

City are a unique team in their own way, Guardiola knows how to build a team in such a way that it is self-sufficient in many respects. And his attacking model works in such a way that the team does not depend only on the striker, since the middle line is also aimed at attacking, and the players are selected in such a way that they have universal skills that allow them to play in different positions, when for example De Bruyne, or Silva often scores goals.

I agree with you and Manchester City has something that can be the key to victory even without a significant role from the striker. They can get away from the dependency that strikers have to score goals and often players in other positions can be the key to their victory. We definitely remember last season when they won the Champions League, Manchester City were at their wits end and found it very difficult to break into Inter's goal. But what we saw was that Rodri, who plays as a defensive midfielder, was the only goal scorer in the final match. So not only De Bruyne and Silva, all players have the same opportunity to do it.

I think that's too sad to see Manchester City playing against Manchester City before the final match because I was expecting to see these two teams playing against another team before we could see this match but sadly after this game ended we should say goodbye to one of these teams while both teams are very good and both got the potential to win the Champions League title at the end of this season.
Manchester City should defend the title they won before while this team is not performing like the last season, they lose many players. Also, Real Madrid tried to improve the team by hiring more players however this season was a little but challenging for them because of having many injured players on the team. I think this time Ancelotti will not lose the chance and I guess Real Madrid got a better chance to beat Manchester City in this game.

But for the second leg, Manchester City might not use all of their strength because they want to secure the points.

Manchester City and Real Madrid met many times in latest Champions League seasons and the winner in previous season is a team which play the second leg at their home stadium.

The UEFA draw for quarter finals, reserved a first leg at Bernabeu on 10 April and a second leg at Etihad on 18 April. If history repeats, Manchester City will be a winner and go to semi final because they will host Real Madrid in the second leg.

This is about history and their recent matches' results, it can repeat or can not repeat in next two matches. Last season, Real Madrid were destroyed in a match Rodri and Stones played very impressively and if they want to beat Manchester City, they will have to figure out ways to control these players. This season, Manchester City has another dangerous attacking player, Foden who is very energetic, speedy and skillful dribbling. Give Foden a space, even small space, and time, Real Madrid will be punished by this player.

Our predictions this time are different, sorry. I believe the winner is Real Madrid because Real Madrid has changed a lot this season and their strength is even stronger than last season. You don't need to doubt Real Madrid's mentality to take revenge last season.

Maybe I also want to tell you that you completely forgot that Brahim, Joselu and Bellingham replaced Mariano, Hazard and Asensio. Additionally, players like Vini, Valverde, Camavinga and Tchouameni have been better players this season. Moreover, Man City have not performed well this season, they also lost Gundogan in the midfield which reduces the way they dictate the game, if they were spectacular they should be at the top of the EPL right now. this is just logic.

Real Madrid and Manchester City were the favorites for this year's Champions League title. And we thought these two would meet in the final. But Madrid and Manchester City are going to meet in the quarter finals.

It is impossible to predict which team will win. Every one of the Madrid vs City matches we've seen over the last few seasons has been competitive. And the scenario this season is similar.

Manchester City's performance has been somewhat erratic. On the other hand, Madrid's main striker Benzema is missing this season. Madrid mainly rely on their midfielder Bellingham to score goals. On the other hand, City are strong enough with Haaland and De Bruyne. Betting on this match is very risky. So I will refrain myself from betting on this match.

The match between Manchester city and Real Madrid is really an unpredictable game to me ,both teams are in their current forms, and when considering the strength of the team, the quality of players in there and the category of managers involved in the team too, they are both experienced coaches when it comes to the Champions league competition ,Therefore, to me, this game is a matter of who utilizes their opportunity well will become victors in that game.

I agree that this match is unpredictable, but above all I think that Real Madrid is an extremely unpredictable team in this tournament. I mean, even if Manchester City had been the better team recently and had come into this match as favorites, Real Madrid could have pulled off a surprise in this match. Real Madrid has a different identity in this tournament and they are very dominant. I'm sure we will see a good match.

The managers managing this two teams respectively are in my view notorious for surprises and you just can't predict their next move before a game or even in the middle of the game they go on experimenting and applying different tactics till they get one which is giving the results they are expecting against the opponent. I would have loved to see this draws in the semi-final round as to me it's coming much early making the timing harder to predict in favour of which team the end result will be for. I'll have to skip this particular game off my books only to sit back and enjoy the two best quality and entertaining football team's of the time fill me with fun and suspense.

Form aside, we all know Real Madrid for being obsessed with the Champions League Competition. They could be having a bad time in the La Liga Competition but immediately it get to the semi finals or quarter finals, they always step up with them performance. Though Carlo Ancellotti and his tactics had seen some levels of dropped and it's affected them attacking lifestyle. Still on I'm a huge fan of the Los Blancos in the Champions League Competition. One thing I'm sure is that, they'll surely see the best side winning. Are you ready to watch and learn tactics from these top managers?

Manchester City now has plans to win it again for the second time so said the perfectionists during the early stages of the season. I don't doubt him nor his capabilities but his team has seen a decline. How far thrynfo from here I can't say because they're not consistent same way they was last season.
Having De Bruyne fit would be a plus for them, news reaching me is that he was reported Injured before the international duties with Belgium. Could be a strategy to relax? Lol.

The match is indeed and unpredictable match, any team can win at any point. If you wanted to use the quality of the squad to make conclusions, you will realize that they both have similar qualities likewise the two coaches too. Real Madrid can only be ahead of Manchester City because of Real Madrid has won more Champions League than Man City and with the nature experience players they both have, that alone cannot count Man City out.
In fact, all the quarterfinal matches will unpredictable and will contain good offset.

This is true, most of the matches, if not all in the Champions league quarterfinals will be unpredictable and an example is between Manchester City and Real Madrid. When you take a reflect at the last fixtures both team had, Manchester City have been more consistent with winning over Real Madrid, including the last game both team played together which Manchester City scored 4 goals over none of the Real Madrid.

But when you relate those matches with the current performance of both teams, Real Madrid is already at the very top of the table standing making them the leading club of the league. Whereas Manchester City is still battling at the 3rd position of its league. If you are to judge by the present performance of these clubs, you will suggest more that Real Madrid has more chances.

I'm a Real Madrid and strongly believes that Real Madrid will eliminate Manchester City from the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition but that doesn't mean that I'm not aware that Manchester City is capable of beating any side in Europe so I don't doubt it when people say it'll be a very difficult tie. Last season in the semi finals of the competition, Manchester City eliminated Real Madrid from the competition but one thing that's happened this season is that Real Madrid have significantly improved from the side that suffered the humiliating elimination from Manchester City last.
Real Madrid will always be my favorites to win the tie and that's because I so much believe in this current Real Madrid squad but that doesn't mean that City can't pull a surprise. As a Real Madrid fan, I'm seriously anticipating for the two-legged tie and I would be very happy if Real Madrid can retaliate for what happened last season by eliminating Manchester City

Sucks to be true.....
There is a great difference between Pep and Ancelloti interm of game studying which is why mancity gets so hard to beat with their tactics.
Realmadrid have a style of playing that I've noticed and I don't know if anyone did the same , I call the style => offside playing , they tend to leave a player or some player more at the offside edge(maybe not offside after all but that's what I call it).
The chance both team winning is unpredictable as Realmadrid have a key strength of rush game against the Ball control opponents but I still have a strong feeling about Mancity winning the game

I think the reason why both managers are at the top of their game tactically is that, despite these differences, they can always come up with a solution that will lead to a result. City's football is boring to some people, but if this is the tactic that wins games, why would Pep change it?
In the same way, Ancelotti always makes the move that will win the match. It's a plus that they have the best quality players, but some teams with very good squads like this haven't done anything in the Champions League for years. So these managers are really the best in the business, and this is the proof.

The strength of the Manchester City team in the last few seasons has been quite strong and they have advantages in all sectors so it is quite difficult to stop them and indeed no team can be compared because all teams have their own strengths and weaknesses.
And the match against Real Madrid is a difficult match, both teams have their own strengths and both teams have met often in the last few years so both already know each other's weaknesses.

For a game like this, knowing each other’s weaknesses is an advantage for any team but I don’t think that will be a reliable way to prevail in this match. The both teams are top rated teams in their respective leagues and their performance in their league games have been exceptional. I just feel this is another version of the final we are going to be witnessing by end of the season earlier before its time. I am not too interested in other games than this because among the teams that stands as suitable contenders for the league are already meeting in the quarterfinals of the game.

A tough game to decide the winner. Though we can actually predicts the outcome of the clash based on the previous meetings and its clearly known how Manchester City thrashed Real Madrid 4 nil and got them eliminated from the UEFA champions league at crucial phase. A loss in the minds of Real Madrid players, the president, the coach and finally the fans. It's never going to be easy for Manchester City to knockout Real Madrid, there's certain tests that ought to be passed because the game at stake is the biggest fixture for the UCL season.

The outcome of this game cannot be decided by past performance of the clubs. If you’re going to rate the winner by that, then you would also rate Real Madrid to beat Manchester City because they’ve done well in the last two previous seasons that they also eliminated Manchester City from the champions league to win the title also. The outcome of the match can only be defined by the performance of each team in the pitch of play when the game have began. Without that, the winner cannot be decided by just past events meeting of this two clubs.
