So for me today is easy Real Madrid and Manchester City wins their games, one in a easy match and the other in a more work hard one.
As you know, Real Madrid is a team that likes to come back, but this is not always guaranteed, so they should not fall behind when they have the advantage in this match.
One key tactics I have watched and which can be applied to win Manchester city or lock horns with them is to choke up their midfield, once as team you have succeeded in doing that, then you have got them on their weak point and City will find it difficult to display in that game, if you could recall, what happened between their second leg Premier League game with Chelsea FC, This was the pattern Pochetino and his men used in that game that they nearly won Manchester City, if not that Chelsea missed a lot of their ample opportunity to score and win that game, but lastly they held Manchester city on an entertaining 1-1 draw, which was hard to believe on before the game and comparing the strength of Chelsea with City even with Manchester City hosting the Blues in that game. So, Copen hegan should gain hold of the midfield, then I kind of think that could be an end game for Manchester city , hopefully.
