I too was upset when I saw that Man City and Madrid will meet again not in the final... Last season City easily defeated Real Madrid... Of course it will be interesting to see them meet this season, because it seems to me that Real have a chance to win this time... But probably this match should have happened in the final...
I think I'm the only one who feels like that because this big match is very suitable if it takes place in the final because we will see the best clubs in the Champions League competing for the Champions League title and of course it makes the match very interesting and tense, I also didn't expect Manchester City and Real Madrid have to meet at the start before reaching the final so we will lose one of them in the semifinals, actually I'm quite afraid if Real Madrid will be eliminated again like last season where Real Madrid lost badly to Manchester City I hope that in this meeting Real Madrid will appear be better and learn from previous mistakes so as not to be embarrassed by Manchester City again.
Real Madrid's squad this season is better than last season so I'm sure they are ready to face Manchester City in the quarter-finals to avenge their previous defeat, even though Manchester City still has players with the same squad. But now Real Madrid has added several squad strong enough to be ready to face the Champions League with Real Madrid's performance in La Liga. I think Real Madrid is confident enough to lead the Champions League again and become the best club in Europe again.
