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.
Almost the entire squad that Real Madrid has this season is part of the success that Real Madrid achieved last season. This season Real Madrid appearance has been a little disturbed when compared to last season, Real Madrid is still very superior in the UCL but not in La Liga. Some of Real Madrid core players are no longer young, of course their increasing age greatly affects their appearance and they are also very vulnerable to injury.
There is no doubt about the mentality of the Real Madrid players, but when compared to the quality of the squad that the two teams have this season, Manchester City's strength is more solid and productive than Real Madrid.
