I also think the same, for me there is no other team that is stronger in this UCL season, I do not deny that Haaland is a player who can solve a game quickly, and if Pep is a great strategist, I imagine that he has already studied Madrid from above and below and he himself recognizes that Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, he also knows that if Ancelotti assigns 2 players so that Haaland does nothing, he will disable him and let 10 players play in attack completely, this The game will be very interesting, I think that the winner here will be Madrid.
Manchester city are overhype in games compared to Real Madrid. It's important to state out the clear facts among both clubs, the Los blancos have the experience and confidence to win any opponents when it comes to UCL games while Manchester city have good records in UCL and also EPL. They got eliminated by real Madrid last season, although they will not take it easy on with real Madrid. However I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti have a way he absorbed the pressure from Pep Guardiola, he always sort out good goal opportunities against English clubs. Erling Haaland is not a threat because if city midfield is comprehended by Madrid, Haaland won't be able to net a single goal in the game.
I don't think its that easy to stop this Manchester city midfield when you have brilliant players like Kevin de bryune playing and making sure that all passes reaches the beast of a striker HAALAND. Real Madrid are no doubt king of the champion league but there is always a time a king is dethroned and with Manchester at this peak and definitely do damage to real Madrid. The champion league winner is no doubt any team that succeeds between this two giants.
