Manchester City's job will be much tougher than the last one for sure. Bayern Munich are one of the strongest candidates for the Champions League championship together with Manchester City now.
Manchester City will need to be extra careful with their defending especially. Lewandowski's departure hasn't weakened them too much honestly. They are still a very productive team. Now that have great additions like Mane and Cancelo which has made the team much stronger. We are all familiar with the disciplined system of Bayern Munich as well. Manchester City need to keep up with them not to have the same result with PSG. But it doesn't feel like Bayern Munich will be able to get past them. We will watch a close matchup but the winner should be Manchester City with Haaland's big help as well.
It's hard to say who will eliminate each other in this match. Manchester City is a solid team, so is Bayern Munich. I would probably comment more in terms of their mentality, in terms of mentality I will go to Bayern Munich, yes I think they are better than Manchester City. The advantage that Manchester City has maybe only in the productivity of their goals, as we know they now have young players who are goal machines for Pep Guardiola's squad.
Will Bayern Munich's mentality get them to the finals against Manchester City? Of all the teams that eliminated other teams in the knockout stage, Manchester City is the team I dread the most. After what they did with Leizbig in the second leg, they didn't stop there, they did a similar clean sheet in the FA cup league and this finishing gives me more confidence in Manchester City, but it appears Haaland is underrated, despite the fact that he is doing his thing, maybe because Messi and Mpape are no longer in the competition. Manchester City has every incentive to win the Champions League in Istanbul.
It is clear now that Manchester City is a club that is ready on various fronts, not only this season, but even last season they are a very strong club in various positions. But do you remember when Real Madrid with their mentality knocked them out in the second leg, even though, at that time they only needed a few more minutes to beat Real Madrid. I watched the second leg and saw how Manchester City's players lost when Real Madrid were level on aggregate. That's what they don't have yet, how can they be calm when the opposing team can equalize the score and continue to be confident. Panic did not only occur on the field, even Pep Guardiola looked very panicked at that time.
