Hopefully this can happen so that Real Madrid can get a little smoother in getting to the Champions League final this season, but Real Madrid must also be aware that Manchester City is still quite strong this season. So Real Madrid must be able to use all their abilities in the quarter-final match in order to get rid of the defending champions, because on the one hand Manchester City also know that Real Madrid will probably respond to them in the quarter-final match in order to advance to the final.
I don't expect Real Madrid to return to the final and win the title, that would make their fans more arrogant and disrespectful to other teams. Manchester City must beat Real Madrid regardless of whether they can qualify for the final and defend their title, that is something that must be done so that the Champions League becomes very competitive between each team.
Real Madrid is of course known for its great history as the king of the Champions League title. It has made the average fan arrogant and booing other teams' fans all the time, so something has to change and any team including Manchester City should be able to stop them again this season.
