However how man city played against beyern in the quarter-final winning 3-2 at Etihad and going toe-to-toe with them in full blooded 1-1 suggests that if man city keeps the intensity. Have been playing with all this while they may be a new name on the trophy this time around

Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 3-0 in the first leg of their QF tie at the Etihad, i don't really know where you got the 3-2 scoreline from, and the second leg at the Allianz Arena ended in a 1-1 draw, thus City won on aggregate 4-1. BTW i also think it is going to be City's season in the CL this time around, they have suffered quite a lot of heartbreaks and cruel eliminations in this tournament, but i think they are very much matured to beat Real Madrid this time around, and defeat whichever of the Milan club that makes it to the final.

You know there's no season that Manchester City are not prepared, infact they used to be champions league team of the season but there's always this Madrid problem for them. Being able to beat Real Madrid at the quarter-final, semi-finals or finals of the Champions League is not only the function of how good you play or how inform your club is, it is also a function of maturity, composure and experience.

Real Madrid is even ready and are the favorites in as much as Champions League is concerned. The only way Manchester City will survive is either Vinicius Junior or Benzema or both are injured.

Real Madrid does have players who are much more experienced, but experienced players who are no longer young must have a slightly decreased performance. But what happened last season could happen again this season. Last season Real Madrid got up at the last minute and managed to beat Manchester city because of the mentality of the Real Madrid players who were strong and did not give up easily until the last second in the game. So the goals were created in the last minutes of the game. I think that match was the most dramatic match I saw in the Champions League and I can't forget that match until now.
