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.
It is difficult to do that because it is typical for Madrid to hold back and defeat big clubs by relying on counterattacks, especially if you look at their performance last season when they faced PSG, Manchester City and Liverpool in the Final.
I think the conditions will still be the same even though this is risky but this is still possible for them to do of course especially on several occasions, Manchester City is a little late when facing a quick counter attack.
