A comparison between last season and this season reveals a stark difference in the styles of play between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Manchester City performed well last season, and they've continued to improve this season. On the other hand, Real Madrid's performance has been inconsistent, which has contributed to their inability to compete with Barcelona in the Laliga. If Real Madrid manages to overcome their current challenges in this stage with Manchester City, I will say it was last year luck that save them this season again. Otherwise, their chances of advancing further are slim.
Both teams has quite a record in the Champions league although Real Madrid have dropped drastically in terms of form and Manchester City on the other hand are showing huge improvement this season. I think Real Madrid will be facing a tough test going head to head against this formidable Manchester City team.
