Manchester City – Real Madrid : Preview & Prediction
It is the clash of the last four of the Champions League. Manchester City will face Real Madrid for a place in the final of this edition of the Champions League. Since the beginning of the European competition, Pep Guardiola’s team has shown a very nice face. They finished ahead of PSG in the group stage. The Citizens then beat Sporting CP and Atlético de Madrid to reach this stage of the competition. Currently leading the Premier League, the Manchester club is seeking its first Champions League title. Manchester City are the favourites for the semi-final and will be looking to get the job done in the first leg at home. As in the previous round against Atletico Madrid, the English team knows that it will be very important to start well in this semi-final. Despite Joao Cancelo’s suspension, Pep Guardiola will have the weapons to beat Real Madrid on Tuesday. Real Madrid have been surprising in the Champions League. It was a very different story in the Champions League,” he said, “but it’s a very different story in the Champions League. Despite losing the first leg to PSG (1-0), the Merengues overturned the club from the French capital, thanks to a hat-trick from Karim Benzema at the Santiago Bernabeu (3-1). They followed this up by beating the defending champions Chelsea. After a generally dominant first leg and a deserved victory in Spain, Real Madrid had a scare in the second leg, which went to extra time and was once again won by Benzema. However, the game will be even more complicated against Manchester City! Especially since David Alaba and Ferland Mendy are uncertain for this first leg, in addition to the near withdrawal of Casemiro. It is therefore very difficult to see Madrid creating a feat at the Etihad Stadium without these three key players, who bring a lot of defensive solidity to the club. In La Liga, Ancelotti’s club still needs just one point to make their title official, following Barca’s 0-1 defeat of Rayo Vallecano on Sunday night, and can therefore focus 100% on the Champions League.
