Talking about this even last season we didn't think it was like that but in the end they had to lose because their confidence was high.
The opponent they will now face in the semi-finals is Real Madrid, we know that the mentality of the Madrid champions is very strong with a good enough fighting power especially for the final minutes which have always been the key to their game.
Even though at this time Haaland has appeared extraordinary in the attack on Manchester City, if they are the same as last season with too much confidence then this is indeed still a bit of a problem, because of course Madrid is not an opponent that can be underestimated.
I think that the one that should not be underestimated here is Real Madrid, because it is a very complete team, plus we all know that Haaland is the star here at City, obviously he is Pep's secret weapon, but Ancelotti is a very skilled technical director , intelligent and a Madridista at heart, he will know what defenses to put on him that he will not have freedom of anything, of that they can be sure, now, the problem here will be for City how to stop Benzema and Vinicius? on the other hand to Modric, this is something that has to be seen from the most valuable point of view.
This is what must be realized.
Last season, Manchester City were eliminated from the Champions League. One of the biggest reasons was that they were too complacent with the aggregate they had.
But in the end, even though last season their performance was very good and their players were also great, they had to end up losing.
Now it would be very reckless if they still think that Madrid is below them, especially now that Madrid's focus is clearer for the Champions League and of course we also must not forget that Madrid are the defending champions for the Champions League.
