Real Madrid have completed all position except with center forward where Karim Benzema not have compete back up, for midfielder have many players between main and substitute with the same quality. For midfielder, Madrid has many option and there are not difficult if Modric or Toni Kroos have absent. But difference against Manchester City exactly Haaland, I worry who will give huge pressure for this player will enough with Militao or Madrid need use three center defender from Miliato, Alaba and Rudiger how to make Haaland can't have space for scoring goals.
Manchester City performance this season difference than last season performance where Real Madrid success eliminated them on semifinal stage.
Last season it was actually impossible that Real Madrid could still qualify. Losing 1-0 at Manchester City is no shame, but in Madrid they also fell 0-1 at home and it had to take until the 89th minute before it finally became 1-1. And 2 minutes later it was suddenly 2-1 for Madrid, but in the phase before City had some huge chances to make it 0-2. If City starts playing again like last year in Madrid, Madrid will have a very tough time, but Madrid is a team that can recharge for such games and always have a different level in the CL than in regular competitions. It would be nice if Real Madrid reached the final again for the 2nd time in a row. If Madrid makes it to the final, I think it's always the bookmakers' favorite, regardless of who they're playing against (Inter or AC Milan).
From last season or now, Manchester City always has a big chance to win, but it doesn't rule out that the opponent is Real Madrid. Now it can be reversed to see the positive trend of Manchester City which has the potential to win 3 trophies at once. The FA Cup is in sight, the Premier League leaves only a narrow gap from Arsenal and it is certain that it will fall again into the hands of Manchester City because Arsenal's role is only to maintain the top of the standings.
Then his task at UCL is to conquer Madrid, if he succeeds in conquering then against Inter or AC Milan even though Manchester City will be the favorites. Regardless, we're back again Madrid is Madrid and it's very unpredictable when facing a team as great as Manchester City. Even though having Haaland doesn't mean that Ancelotti doesn't have a ready strategy. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola also anticipates that if Haaland movement is locked, then De Bruyne, Mahrez, Bernando, Foden, Grealish, and Gondogan can all be said to have fairly average skills and that will be an expanding task for Madrid's defense.
