Manchester City's victory with a 1-goal difference with Real Madrid makes an uncomfortable position in the second leg later, considering that Real Madrid always surprises and can turn things around, especially playing at home.
You're making it sound like City would prefer to be in a losing position coming into the second leg rather than this current situation, i know City squandered lots of chances and could have put the game to bed even in the first half, but the thing is we won, and we have the advantage heading into the second leg, whether it is 1/2/3 goals ahead, it is still an advantage, of course City would have hoped to come away from this one with a better advantage, but it is what it is and i cannot wait for the second leg.
We all know City is not the team to come into a game and sit back, so the second leg is going to be just like the first, full of attacking/end to end stuff. As a City fan i am happy Cancelo would be back for that one (he was suspended for today's game), majority of our problems came from the right wing as both Stones and Fernandinho couldn't cope in that unnatural position, with Cancelo back i don't think we will have too many problems in the second leg.
