It is not typical of City to underestimate a club that has won many titles in the UCL. Madrid is the current king of the UCL, it would be a big mistake if City were too overconfident in this match. I think, Pep Guardiola also really understands how Madrid plays the strengeth and weakness, and what he needs to do is keep his playing strategy on the field running well. This is the Quarter-Final round, there is no way City can underestimate Madrid.
I wonder, which team can underestimate Real Madrid?
Do you believe that there are teams that underestimate Real Madrid, especially about this is the knockout phase of the Champions League and of course every team will consider their opponents to be tough opponents in this round. Therefore, it doesn't seem right if you think or assume that Manchester City underestimates Real Madrid, it's very funny. After all, basically Manchester City and Real Madrid are also big teams but it is clear that Real Madrid is superior because Real Madrid have won many Champions League trophies. But the point is, every team that passes to the knockout phase like that of course every team will use all their abilities of course to be able to qualify for the next phase, and of course every team will not be able to underestimate the opposing team.
Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world right now if not the best. So an experienced club like Manchester City with an experienced manager like Pep Guardiola would not even dare to underestimate a club like Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola once said in an interview that Real Madrid is the team he is most scared to face in the Uefa Champions League because they never give up. They got that mentality in them. So even thinking that Manchester City will be underestimating Real Madrid is pretty silly and funny.
It was only an assumption from the fans, despite the fact that no one underestimates Real Madrid even pep consider real madrid as the strongest opponent in UCL now. We can't deny that City won convincingly against Madrid last season and it may be building the trust to the manchester city to beat madrid. There have been some changes at Real Madrid, but the majority of the players remain the same, we have bellingham and joselu which were coming to the club.
Talking about the chance to win the game, I prefer Hodl City. The current state of the city is still slightly higher than that of Real Madrid, as the city returns with nearly the same squad as last season. Changes occurred in some positions, such as Gundogan, who has joined Barcelona and doki which is now as a new winger for the club.
I believe this is only the opinion of fans who underestimate Real Madrid, but City is still favored to win the game given their results from last season, and they are all playing with nearly the same squad as last season.
