However, Manchester City's expansion against Madrid has been planned very carefully, so if we look at the results of the 1st leg later, maybe the players confidence will continue to increase. Manchester City are expected to surprise at the Bernabeu, but let's not lose sight of the history of how they got there to lose. So whatever the result will be a big impact for Manchester City in the future.
As Modric did by rejecting the Saudi Arabia Club's offer because he could no longer leave Madrid for any reason. Madrid is his home, you could even say he will retire there. The contract extension he made was the right decision as well as providing coaching to young players when they were ready to leave. Modric figure is indeed irreplaceable, now the transfer market that Bellingham is interested in over Madrid is almost over and it's good that Bellingham can be an alternative to Modric even though he won't completely replace Modric role.
