Real Madrid should control the games against Manchester City and as possible have dominance in midfielder area,
Well, i don't think Real Madrid are going to control the game against Manchester City, in last season's SF when the both sides squared off, City controlled the game for the both legs, and still did not win. I don't think any football side can control the game against Manchester City, you just have to come up with a different game plan, and last season Real Madrid chose to hit City on the counter attack, which they were successful at.
Having said that, i don't expect Real Madrid to seek complete dominance against City, they will be patient and wait for their time on the counter attack, but i think it is City that would progress to the final this time around, they definitely must have learnt their lessons from last season and i am pretty sure they'd not allow it to repeat again this time around.
The counterattack is the only thing Real Madrid knows how to do better because they have more experience; however, Manchester City is also good at attacking now that they signed Haaland, and the plan has worked for them so far this season.
The Semi-Finals are a battle of Champions because both Real Madrid and Manchester City have experienced coaches who use different tactics to win games, making it difficult to predict, but this season, I believe Manchester City will eliminate the defending Champions.
