City and Real Madrid are through to the QF, it was pretty routine for Pep's men, but it was far from comfortable for Real Madrid and they just narrowly progressed to the next round, i reckon that they would improve, and they have to because the games are going to get tougher from now on. The four teams that have progressed thus far would wish to avoid each other in the next round, because they are the biggest teams left in the competition and a tie between any of them would be a cracker with no clear favorites.
I think I have seen one of the worst Real Madrid team ever.A team playing without motivation,without passion and a big lack of ideas in front of the goal.They narrowly passed but I think they needed to be killed by destiny tonight if that post of Leipzig in the 90 minute would have gone in,that would have been great to watch and follow.I am sure that they won't go far with this type of super boring game play that they showed tonight at home against Leipzig,again I have never seen such a weak Real Madrid and beside Bellingham they have absolutely nowhere to rely on for creating attacks,Modric is old,Kroos is getting there,so I see a big need for renovation for this Real Madrid team.
I predicted an easy win for Real Madrid against the Red Bull team in the 2nd leg in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the top team in La Liga while Leipzig is struggling in Bundesliga but the game between them were completely different from what I expected. It's not a 1-1 draw because of a lucky or counter offensive goal, Leipzig was playing better than Real Madrid in most of it. Real Madrid did win the knockout due to lead in Red Bull Arena. They were thought to favourite team for the Champions league title but now they seem to be defeatable.
On another knockout Manchester City defeated the Copenhagen as expected.
