Why does Man City play better than Real Madrid?
Isn't the reason due to the quality of the players? Let's wait and see what strength or luck Real Madrid will use to defeat Man City.

You say that when Real Madrid had the best squad, they didn't dominate Europe. So Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates at that time helped Real Madrid win many prestigious titles, do you know? Do you know why PSG always wants to use every means to keep Kylian Mbappé on the team? Why is Real Madrid always waiting and trying to find a way to get Kylian Mbappé? And many teams want to own him right now. I know Football is a team sport. Of course, the management board will not let Kylian Mbappé cause the team to become disorganized.

Yes, thank you for understanding my story. I actually see that Real Madrid is always a team that knows how to wait for and choose the right players for them. The battle between the two teams can be considered the most worth watching of the season when the two giants have to eliminate each other in this round.

Ancelotti vs Guardiola... It is going to be very lovely to watch.    Both managers are great tacticians at the same time. We would see some nice tactical battle in both games. I wouldn't expect Real Madrid to lose at Santiago Bernabeu honestly. But can they win? I have doubts about that too. Their performance in last 16 phase comes to my mind and you know... 

If Real Madrid don't manage to win home then their chance will drop significantly. Because Manchester City haven't lost a single home game this season if I'm not wrong. They would be more likely to finish the job home here then too.

The fixture between Manchester city and Real Madrid happens to be one of the most anticipated game in the champions league probably due to the record and the prowess both team have exhibited both in the champions league and in their domestic League aswell, so it's been a thing of great anticipation by most persons to really see what exactly it will look like having both teams against each other on the pitch.

I actually anticipate Great action and a whole lost of excitement but I'm not going to give my full support to either of both teams reason been that both teams are good and I don't want to feel disappointed at any of them so I will just watch with an open mind and hail whosoever win the game. But much is actually expected of the home team in that they are playing from home so it's more like an advantage for them, another game to aswell keep in anticipation in the champions league by next week have to be the fixture between Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

These two fixtures are really going to attract attention and views in that a teams are known for their performance this season except for Bayern Munich but then their champions league performance hasn't been any bad at all so they could possibly become a strong resistance to Arsenal and possibly get to equally win them if given the chance to which I'm not expecting any less from both teams.

One of the big matches that we are really looking forward to is the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match, we all can't wait to see the match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City held at the Santigo Bernabeu. Madrid was again the home team in the first leg, just like last season. unfortunately, at that time the match ended in a draw. in the match that will be held later, Don Carlo must prepare his team when they host Manchester City with their best performance. the match in the first leg must be a momentum for Real Madrid who are playing at home. but it is not an easy matter for Real Madrid to overthrow Pep Guardiola's squad.

Well, referring to what you said, the fact is that we don't know how this fight will turn out. because the match will be played in two legs. If these two teams have the same aggregate, it means there will be extra time. but to be honest, I'm not sure about that, at least one of these teams will win the match. either in the first leg or in the second leg. for example, like last season. Personally, I am the favorite for City to advance to the next round.
There is also another match, a match that is no less exciting between Arsenal and Bayern Munich. as a supporter of the Gunners, even though Bayern are far more experienced. however, I believe Arsenal has a chance to overthrow The Bavarians. Finally, let's wait for the Champions League quarter-final match to be held.

This match will be more hyped than the other one that will also happen at the same time. We saw how Manchester City destroyed Real Madrid last season, and history could repeat itself soon just wait for real madrid fans to see their favorite clubs face a tough game in etihad stadium. Manchester City has enough resources to stop Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. However, the city only needs to ensure that Bellingham will not pose a threat to Manchester City. Other players like rodrygo and joselu will not be a threat for real madrid.

To be honest, if we are measuring the performance of both clubs, I believe Manchester City will win the upcoming game because it will also take place at Etihad Stadium. It's difficult to believe Madrid can pass Manchester City given that City has a stronger defensive line than real madrid. Manchester city was rarely conceding goals against real madrid which is proving that how strong the club is now.

City has a walker who can stop Vini. Kyle Walker finds sprinting against Vini to be relatively easy. I have no problem with Vini because it will not pose a threat as long as Walker is present. In terms of quality, Manchester City is far superior to Madrid.
You can expect the same outcome as the previous season, when City scored five goals against Madrid. I don't think Vini will contribute much when he meets Walker. Walker frequently pocketed Vini.

Lets be honest, people. Pep putting Real Madrid down too low? You're kidding. He is smart, has won a lot, and knows everything there is to know about the game. Real Madrid, the legendary Champions League team, you dont trip over them. You can trust Pep; his best players are on the field. He understands what he faces.

Its not just a game; its the UNFINISHED battle. The best of the best, and there will be no winner. Not losing is in their nature, especially when it matters. Forget about a blowout; this is about planning and getting ahead. Thats truly amazing to see. Secure your seats, this is going to be HUGE!

For the first leg it will not continue until extra time and if there is no winner then the two teams will only play a draw. Talking about a draw, that possibility could happen and here Manchester City has that chance instead of losing at home to Real Madrid. I think Manchester City still has the advantage like last season when they had the opportunity to play the first leg at home to Real Madrid and destroy Los Blancos in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Last season was a crushing failure for Real Madrid because they were not fully ready to face the evenness of Manchester City's squad. Moreover, last season the lack of new player recruitment was the cause of Real Madrid's decline. But what we see now is that the two teams are quite evenly matched even though Real Madrid doesn't have a number 9 striker in their squad. Real Madrid can still rely on Bellingham as a box to box or as a false 9 for scoring goals. So let's just wait for the results of the first leg and don't be too hasty in favoring Real Madrid because honestly it is very difficult to stop Manchester City.

Both Dortmund and Atletico Madrid's performances in their home leagues are poor, which indicates that neither team is good enough this season for us to pick one to win. However, based on my observations, Atletico Madrid can defeat Dortmund; I know that Dortmund has talented players who can score goals easily, but they are not as good as they were last season. We should also consider the teams that each team faced in the Champions League round of 16 PSV was the opponent for Dortmund, and Atletico Madrid faced Inter Milan a formidable squad that is currently leading many teams in the serie A league.

It's not that Atletico Madrid is playing well this season that gives me hope that they can win the match against Dortmund; Atletico Madrid had no intention of winning any league this season other than advancing to the champions league and qualifying for another round of competition. Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid does their best to eliminate one of the best teams that is performing this season, and I think they can still perform well if they play in their field and make sure they win that match.

Really appreciate your opinion but it seems like you are too confident about Real Madrid qualifying for the next round.
I prefer Manchester City to qualify for the semi-finals.
Now let's just look at some of Real Madrid's achievements, always winning with a very narrow score difference compared to Manchester City, which is always ready to score more than 2 and Manchester's defense doesn't need to be doubted anymore if Pep Guardiola is still able to rotate defense players to get strong strength. .
Maybe in the upcoming match, Manchester City will play away from home, but let's see, Real Madrid will definitely be ahead with a very small aggregate score because I'm sure Manchester City will prioritize their defense.

Last season's incident could have happened because there weren't any changes, only Bellingham slightly strengthened Real Madrid's attack line but the rest doesn't provide any guarantees.
You definitely remember how last season Real Madrid was only able to score 1 score when playing at home while Manchester City got a big score at home and as I said before, we can see the scoring performance scored by these two clubs, Manchester is far superior to qualify like last season.

Real Madrid is the king of the UCL, they are the team that has the most UCL titles and they are the only team that has won the UCL three times in a row, thus the mentality and self-confidence of the Real Madrid team is better than other teams so that is what makes they are very much appreciated.
The quarter-final match against Manchester City will indeed be very difficult for Real Madrid, but they will also be very focused on this match because in the domestic league the Real Madrid team is currently quite comfortable at the top of the standings without any pressure from their rivals.

By next week,we will be seeing teams in action again in the UEFA champions league and one of the games I will looking forward to watching is Mancity vs Real Madrid.This game is really going to be a tough games that will continue till extra time .At this point in time,all the teams are very careful of what they are doing,and try not to make any costly mistakes that will cause the teams to loose.But if I am to make my predictions on this game,I think Real Madrid will edge it to the Semi final of the tournament,leaving Pep Guardiola's side devastated,and the moment that happens, Guardiola would want to move to another team.

Even though last season Man City managed to humiliate Real Madrid in the first leg 1-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu and won 4-0 at the Etihad, that doesn't mean they can underestimate Real Madrid's strength this season. Agree with you, underestimating Real Madrid is ridiculous because Real Madrid is a big team and has a high mentality, especially in the UCL league competition they are king.

Indeed, Pep Guardiola is a coach who is a genius in various strategies, but this season I am not really sure whether Man City will qualify for the semifinals, because Real Madrid this season has been very dominant in the UCL and La Liga. However, this will be a very good match for us to look forward to, actually I want to say that these two teams should have faced each other in the final but unfortunately they have already faced each other in the quarter-finals.

Real Madrid are like the kings of the UCL and yes for you to dominate the UCL you need to be able to eliminate Real Madrid. The same way Pep did it with Man City last season and went on to win the UCL is the same way anyteam wishing to win it this season must do. Similarly like last season, we’ll be having Real Madrid vs Man City again this time in the Quater Final. We know how this kind of match usually goes as it’s always a fierce battle especially as the coaches of both clubs are very sound tactically and you can’t underrate any of them. Real Madrid are having the upper hands in this fixture because they’re currently a better teAm than how they were last season.

 Yes I’m saying this majorly because of te addition of a key player like Jude who will be reuniting with his good old friend Haaland who was his close pal in his old Dortmund days. These 2 players will be the major focus of this encounter because in one way or the other they’re the 2 point men for both teams. Beating Real Madrid last season was kinda difficult for Pep talk more of now Real Madrid is beginning to find their balance, you can imagine how hard it’ll get for them this season. I just wish Ancelotti wouldn’t overthink to try out a mew strategy as it could cost him the match.

 This is going to be a fierce encounter and the goal differences between them might not the much. Each of them will be taking their home encounter as a major advantage and I think Real Madrid can use this very well especially as they’re playoffs first at the Spanish ground. This match will be having lots of views as it’s likened to be a final before the final and I have high hopes that the winner of this encounter will go on to win the UCL this season as these 2 teams looks really unstoppable in thr UCL this season. Pep shouldn’t make a mistake of using same tactics as last season else he’ll fail woefully thought I still believe Real will defeat him in whatever tactics he’s trying to use.

With the many UCL trophies that Real Madrid has won, in my opinion it is the best European team in history, and there are still other best teams, but Real Madrid is the highest caste team, whoever the team that faces it will definitely feel afraid, as will its arch enemy in Laliga, namely Barcelona, which is more often meets with Real Madrid. Yes, even though there are several teams that can beat Real Madrid, whether in the UCL or Laliga, Real Madrid's performance in a competition as big as the UCL will still be more focused on achieving it, so it's only natural that in the UCL, Madrid is always the team they fear.

That's right, Real Madrid is the team that has won the most Champions Leagues and this team has destroyed many teams on the Champions League stage so of course no team dares to underestimate them.
Last season, Manchester City managed to beat Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean it will be a challenge and it will be easy for them to do the same.

This is the fiercest match among the other quarter-final matches and indeed both teams are favorites to become champions this season, of course there is no one who is overly favored, both teams have the same possibility.

With the current performance of Real Madrid, it will be a tough game for Manchester City if they try to underrate Real Madrid because Real Madrid will use that against them. The thing is that in the Champions League currently, there are teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid; they are the best teams right now, so both of them will not underrate each other because both are looking for a way to get the title, so both are looking for a small weak from any of the opponents. You can see that since they are looking for an opportunity, everyone of them will be extra careful with how they play their match.

However, if I am to predict this game, I will predict it as a draw because both teams are strong, so I will just predict both teams to win, but if you predict that Manchester City will win, things may turn around and the game may go to Real Madrid.

 How will anyone even think Pep Guardiola will be underestimating Real Madrid? Everyone knows Real Madrid to be a strong club, so how are you even going to think that Manchester City will underestimate Real Madrid? Pep Guardiola is going to use his best squad for the match, because if there is any slight mistakes from Pep Guardiola, Real Madrid will take advantage of that.
 
Manchester City playing against Real Madrid will be kind of difficult for Manchester City, but I just hope they will be able to win the match. I will be placing a bet on Manchester City to win. The Uefa Champions League fixture is just kind of interesting all the matches will be tough, and no club will underestimate each other.

The standings of Dortmund and Atletico Madrid in their respective leagues are almost the same. Dortmund is currently ranked 4th in the Bundesliga standings. And Atletico Madrid is ranked 5th in the Laliga standings. Which all still looks equal. And yes, Atletico Madrid was indeed lucky to beat Inter Milan and qualify for the quarter-finals. And now Atletico Madrid must not waste the opportunity they have now. And actually Atletico Madrid is also lucky because in the quarter-finals they will face Dortmund and are not the favorite team in the UCL. It's just that Dortmund cannot be underestimated either. They are quite consistent in the Bundesliga at the moment.

Beating Real Madrid is a tough challenge that must be overcome by any club that wants to dominate the Champions League. Manchester City cannot be said to be completely strong in the Champions League. Just because they were able to win the Champions League trophy last season and beat Real Madrid. It doesn't mean that Manchester City can boast because they can't we deny that Real Madrid is still the King of the Champions League and has collected 14 titles, while Manchester City only has 1 Champions League trophy and this season Manchester will not necessarily be able to get it because Real Madrid cannot be underestimated. Real Madrid's performance is stronger this season unlike last season I think in the first leg Real Madrid will create a big aggregate in order to avenge their defeat last season.

The meeting between Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland will be a dramatic meeting because they will be enemies in the match and we will see a fierce battle between the two of them in attacking, even though Jude Bellingham is not a striker like Haaland, Jude Bellingham can be relied on by Ancellotti to be in every striker position to attack. I'm really looking forward to this big match which feels like a final and at the same time sad because we will lose one of the best clubs in the Champions League before final.

It's no secret that this particular encounter between real madrid and Manchester city is the star match of the quarter finals of this year champions league, I believe that it's really going to be an entertaining encounter between them both

Though it's a hard one to call of who is going to progress to the next round, but I would be sentiment about this and give it to real madrid because of the form they are in right now, and because Manchester city are not as good as they were last season, so I believe that real madrid will edge this game out, in a tight contested affair.
