Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet each other already on the quarter-final of the Champions League competition Undecided. It is actually a little sad for me. I really wanted these two to actually meet each other later in the competition. But it is what it is. Now we will have seen crazy things happen previously between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League competition.

The thing is on paper to me it looks like Manchester City has the upper hand. But at the same time, we have seen Real Madrid bring in crazy performances in the Champions League, even against Manchester City. So I think anything goes in this class. And remember this is going to be played over two legs. So both of the teams are going to have genuine chances. But I still think Manchester City should be better ready for the competition.
I thought I would see these two teams meet in the final but in fact they had to meet earlier, I probably saw a lot where the strengths of these two teams don't seem to be much different, they both have the same strength, I don't mean to underestimate Madrid but Manchester City is probably much better. OK, but that doesn't mean Madrid can't overcome Manchester City at home in the first leg. Madrid must be able to win the match in the first leg if they want to progress to the next round.

But I know that it might be difficult for Madrid to beat Mancester City, Ancelotti might learn from last season's defeat, especially now that Madrid has several talented young players who can fill the void and can show their best game to the maximum in order to win. beating Manchester City in the first leg, Guardiola certainly doesn't want to underestimate Madrid, of course he will direct his team to play carefully at Madrid's home ground where maybe they can play better than usual. But if I was asked to choose between the two, I would definitely choose Manchester City which will win this match or the result will be a draw in the first leg.
You sound very sure, and have must trust on City winning Real Madrid, which I don't think it will be easy for City to win Madrid. I cannot tell who qualify to the next round, but you should also consider that Real Madrid does not have home or away in UCL. They can win anywhere, so you saying they must make sure they win at home is somehow.

The two teams are very strong, and because City won last season does not mean that they have higher advantage over Real Madrid. You should also consider the change in players in Real Madrid squad, and I think that it is on that match day that we would know who is stronger. City was unable to win Liverpool, and they were praying for a draw in that match. Like you have forgotten that City is not as strong as last season.

Man City is the favorite because they seem to have a more promising performance than Real Madrid but that doesn't mean that Real Madrid doesn't have a chance in this match because, after all, Real Madrid is still one of the big teams that has a good history in the Champions League. Last season they failed and had to admit that Man City was superior to them but I think Real Madrid will definitely also use that as a lesson so that they don't fall into the same hole.
