Me too. I was hoping and praying that Madrid would face City in the final, but the game started earlier. It will be heartbreaking to see one of them eliminated in this round. Manchester City hopes to win the UCL trophy again this season after doing so last season. The suqad used by city is different compared to the last season but they are still having good capability like last season's squad.
Manchester City will be able to beat Madrid. The club must have replicated Real Madrid's defeat at the hands of City, who scored five times against madrid last seasons. The same momentum will occur again soon. Kyle Walker is prepared to stop Vini from scoring in the upcoming game.
The only issue is that Vini puts in all of his effort to create the long shoot. City frequently conceded goals from him through long shots from outside the penalty box. This is the most important thing Manchester City must anticipate to ensure Vini has no space to take long shots against the city.
If it is not an exaggeration to say so, the match between Manchester City versus Real Madrid is the most difficult match to predict, many bettors will be confused about who will come out on top. Both teams are very optimistic about being able to beat each other, of course because both teams have all the attributes needed, and their mentality is also very good. The head to head record of the two teams will not have much influence on the upcoming match, which in my opinion is the completeness of the squad which is more important and more decisive.
Pep Guardiola is lucky because currently all the players in his squad are fully available without any injuries, while Ancelotti is still missing Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Joselu. On the other hand, Manchester City has a larger number of matches scheduled, in which they have to face Arsenal, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace first before facing Real Madrid. In this case, Real Madrid only has one match versus Atletic Bilbao, of course preparation time and fatigue will be other challenges that Pep Guardiola must face.
