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

Well it's not everytime history actually gets to repeat itself so if in the past Real Madrid has been unlucky with their meetings against Manchester city and it's been series of them been humiliated by Manchester city then I think it may possibly change too aswell when they will meet in this their next champions league schedule where anything can happen as both teams knows too well what's actually at stake for them.

This time around, Real Madrid and Manchester city are going to have a really fierce battle because it's definitely not going to looki or feel like the usual which they must have had over the years because both teams are this time around very inform and gats a perfect depth and I think Madrid will not want to Crash out of the champions league at this stage, not after as Manchester city happens to have won last season and now may want to be a second time winner by getting to eliminate Real Madrid from the champions league again this season, a d become the champions the second time in a row.

I think it will be the champions league game with the most views by next week because the anticipations are really high already and that alone is an indication that people are really going to keep tabs on the game so we'll especially for football Lover and those who may aswell like sports entertainment a d would want to get entertained by the actions they will be seeing by both  team.

But wouldn't you agree that a lot of things changed over the course of this ongoing season? Real Madrid improved their game on several positions at the same time and if they won't suffer from any injuries until the game against Manchester City takes place, I think this will be a much closer matchup than it was last year. Real Madrid is ready to go for it and it didn't feel that way last season whereas Manchester City was destined to go the full distance and they did as expected. This time the midfield isn't quite as strong as last year for Manchester City whereas Real Madrid isn't going through any setbacks on any position despite maybe the problem with Courtois, but so far his substitute has been doing great.

The consistency of both is still very good, especially Madrid at this time which seems to have a new motivation that makes its performance different and better than the previous season so it is quite natural that this match will be very difficult for both of them in this quarter-final.

But on the other hand Pep always has a way to shut down Madrid's game even though the final results sometimes don't really match the expectations in the matches they have done in the previous few seasons but in terms of performance on the field Manchester City can sometimes lock up the Madrid defence and this needs to be anticipated by Ancelotti now because when his midfield makes then indeed this can be very dangerous but Manchester City also needs to anticipate the situation further when trying to apply the same scheme especially now that Ederson is likely to be injured for a long time and when trying to lock up they must ensure Madrid's fast counter-attacks do not run smoothly later.

I won't say Manchester City is better than Real Madrid because I know Real Madrid's strength. If the two teams are compared in terms of squad depth, then I think they are equal in many ways. The team's performance in the domestic league is also good and both are in the top flight even though Manchester City is 1 point adrift of the top of the standings. It's hard to say who the favorite is, but I hope Real Madrid can really dominate in their home match in the first leg.

There is no excuse for accepting two failures from the same team in two different seasons, so Ancelotti will have to think hard about how to smooth out his plans to qualify for the semi-finals. Manchester City have a good squad, they are dangerous and they also have a great coach who can change the course of a match. Of course you need to be careful, but the first leg is the best opportunity for Real Madrid to prove who is the king.

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.

One can predict Manchester City and Real Madrid, but all I can say about the game is that Ancelotti will do everything in his power to defeat Manchester City at home. They will not make the same mistakes they did last season, which allowed Guadiola to defeat them and win the Champions League against Inter Milan. Both teams are in great shape and performing well in both the league and the Champions League. Since Real Madrid will not stress themselves too much for the league anymore since they know they will get the chance and win the league title, only Manchester City will be strong for both the league and the champions league because they are chasing Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League trophy. Let see if real madrid will get the opportunity against Manchester City this season, if Madrid defeat Manchester City madrid will stifle tough club Bayern Munich because am thinking Munich will definitely eliminate arsenal this Time again.

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.

It seems you should also know that in the last twoseasons, Manchester City and Real Madrid have always met in the semifinals. Their first meeting happen in the semifinals of the Champions League for the 2021/2022 season and Real Madrid managed to beat and eliminate Manchester City in the semifinals and then Real Madrid won the trophy. After that, in the 2022/2023 season Real Madrid and Manchester City met gain in the semifinals and Manchester City managedto beat and eliminate Real Madrid in the semifinals, andthen Manchester City won the trophy. So ya, it could be said that thisseason will be the third meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City, but the only difference is that thistime or thisseason the meeting took place in the quarter-finals. With a record likethat, it is clear that we cannotsay Manchester City is better than Real Madrid, because infact, theystill have the same goodrecord and results at least in the last two seasons.

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.

Manchester City is strong as a team, so is Real Madrid. This season Real Madrid has additional strength where Jude Bellingham is the most productive player in the squad. The game will probably never be the same as last season and Manchester City seem to have realized that from the start. Real Madrid has weaknesses, but they have good experience in the Champions League to smooth out their plans.

The duo of Vinicius and Bellingham is a good duo in the Real Madrid squad, but they have better strength to appear strong. Real Madrid is unlikely to repeat its mistakes last season against Manchester City, however, Manchester City will probably also win the match to repeat its success. Tough match, of course and it will be great if both of them play well.

And I believe this is why they tend to stand out from other teams. Manchester city and pep guadiola have a unique playing style that almost everyone in the teams gets involved in their gameplay and that's why the whole teams scores goals although this recent times they had been kinda playing around erlin Harland for the goals and when he doesn't deliver, the goals margin kinda dropped a bit, it's always a goal fest when guadiola sets up the team in a way that everyone gets involved especially with the iconic midfielders in the team.

Maybe they have cleaned up their act, but Manchester City haven't had to "clean up their act", they are fine as they are and are a real threat to Real Madrid. In fact, this is a match of the level of the final, not 1/4, but nothing can be done, if either of these teams will fly out at this stage, it will be impossible to say that it was undeserved, because they are two mastodonts in football

Real Madrid with the highest odds playing at home? It's not the bookie's favorite but we know Real Madrid playing at home will be better than Man City.

It's a tough challenge for both I know both teams will do their best for the first leg because we haven't seen how the first leg will go but the second leg will be the hottest and fiercest.

Here I'm willing to bet Real Madrid wins at home and in the second leg Manchester City will probably win.

Luis Henrique know well with the weakness of Barcelona because he was stay there when becoming Barcelona manager, but the current condition have been difference under Xavi Hernandez promoted many youth talented players and old players in the era of Luis Henrique leaves Barcelona. I don't blame with PSG have many top players but not easy for defeating Barcelona with consistency performance under Xavi Hernandez have winning performance currently.
For Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund is not doubt Atletico will qualify to semifinal round, Dortmund actually not really difficult behind Atletico Madrid success defeating Inter Milan as favorite team in 16 round.
I don't sure yet with the favorite team between Arsenal or Bayern Munich, Arsenal has good performance in domestic league and seems favorite but Bayern Munich lead with head to head against Arsenal.

Of course, all the matches in quarter final are interesting because all the teams that are playing in this round are big teams. However, it is true that the match Real Madrid vs Man City is the most interesting one. I'm actually a bit surprised to see these teams to fight one another, I expect they will meet in the final match. With this fact, one of them must be eliminated in the quarter final. Well, if we consider the quality of the squad and the result in the last season, Man City looks as the favorite team to win. However, who knows if Real Madrid has a great plan to eliminate Man City.

In the match PSG vs Barcelona, I think PSG looks better. PSG is also managed by Enrique, he was a manager of Barcelona. He must know well the weakness of Barcelona, it is the advantage for PSG. For the match Atletico vs Dortmund, I think Atletico Madrid has a better chance to qualify for the next round. Atletico Madrid could beat Inter Milan as the finalist in the last season, it won't be so difficult to beat Dortmund. Well, for the match Bayern vs Arsenal, I think it is a bit difficult to predict. Both teams are quite equal, it is just about which team to have a better mentality.

I am usually caught up in awe by the perspective at which everyone is viewing the Bayern vs Arsenal tie in this UCL quarter finals draws while presuming all other draws to be of almost equal strength's. And am so sure the reason for this disdain towards Arsenal is as a result of their history with Bayern Munich how the results has always been with a win in favour of Bayern that comes with high goal margin.

Ut if we're to analyze the Bayern of today currently with Arsenal stats in their individual respective league you can will find out arsenal are in better stats than Bayern judging by the competitive  offensiveness of the two leagues. And in the current arsenal under Aretha a lot of agility and physicality have been what this team is built on unlike in the days of Arsene W., So I believe it's going to be a tough game for Bayern and not business as usual.

Playing at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the first leg match, Madrid could take revenge for last season's crushing defeat, but they must be able to work hard to find gaps in Manchester City's back line that allow them to break into their goal. Madrid must win in the first leg match if Indeed, they want to successfully qualify for the next round, even though it is difficult to beat Manchester City as the defending champion, at least Madrid must learn from their previous failures and change many strategies and tactics.

Madrid has several young and talented players, of course they can use them to balance Manchester City's game, but apart from that, Guardiola will of course also create new strategies and tactics for his team to face Madrid later. At least getting a draw is more than enough for Manchester City, because Last season's moments could happen again, but for me, Manchester City still has many shortcomings in this season and is very different from last season, therefore, even though Manchester City is very favored in the betting market, it is still very difficult to bet on this match which one will come out. winner, but I predict a draw because they have the same strength.

Girona of La Liga, and the competition there, is completely different from what we are seeing in the Champions League. If Manchester City plays in the same league as Real Madrid and Girona, Girona will not be near the top of the table, but will most likely remain below these two teams. The match between Manchester City and Real Madrid will be extremely difficult to determine who will win. However, in order to advance to the next round of the Champions league competition, they must demonstrate their team's determination and prowess. I don't think both teams are happy with their meeting right now; they would have preferred to meet later. Although the meeting now will also be an advantage for the team that will qualify as it clears a more prospect path to lead them to the final and winning the title.

Atletico Madrid might not have won prestigious trophies under Diego Simeone but he has made so much money for the club. The Argentine seems to be the best manager when it comes to raking in money from transfers. He is good at buying cheap players and grooming them to become expensive.

They might not be able to compete for the La Liga trophy this season because of the quality of Barcelona and Real Madrid but they have qualified for the quarterfinals of the UCL and would be meeting a club that is in the same level with them. I also congratulate Simone because he has always proved to be a reliable coach by always ensuring that his club gets a Champion League ticket.

A big kudos to the manager because he has always maximized the meagre funds available to the club to buy some good players. The club is not wasteful like some clubs in England yet they are still able to be competitive for trophies. If Simone gets the same kind of financial support other too teams have, they will achieve more.
