When in the Champions League, our discussion must also be comprehensive and look at all the clubs that have similar strengths. While I agree that Real Madrid vs Manchester City would be the ideal final, clubs like Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and others also have a chance of being in the final.
This isn't a one-club Ligue 1, it's very competitive and things can happen that you wouldn't expect. One match will be decisive, especially as we are in the knock out stages which means every match must be maximized and no unnecessary mistakes must be made which will cost them in the end.
Indeed they have 2 opportunities in 2 matches, but it becomes more risky when 1 match cannot be maximized properly.
