Real Madrid and Manchester City were the favorites for this year's Champions League title. And we thought these two would meet in the final. But Madrid and Manchester City are going to meet in the quarter finals.

It is impossible to predict which team will win. Every one of the Madrid vs City matches we've seen over the last few seasons has been competitive. And the scenario this season is similar.

Manchester City's performance has been somewhat erratic. On the other hand, Madrid's main striker Benzema is missing this season. Madrid mainly rely on their midfielder Bellingham to score goals. On the other hand, City are strong enough with Haaland and De Bruyne. Betting on this match is very risky. So I will refrain myself from betting on this match.

It's easy to predict, the winner is Manchester City.

Real Madrid was struggle to beat Leipzig, Leipzig isn't really a strong team. But Real Madrid beat them with small margin, unlike Manchester City which destroy Copenhagen in both match.

First leg, Manchester City will win, so it's good to make a bet.

But for the second leg, Manchester City might not use all of their strength because they want to secure the points.

Such predictions should not be made with certainty. It is true that Real Madrid faced some problems to win against Leipzig. But Real Madrid is not a weak team at all. Real Madrid is a very experienced team. And their coach Ancelotti is also very experienced.

Real Madrid won the away match against Leipzig. So the home match Madrid needed was a draw. For this reason I think Ancelotti did not give full effort to win the match. From the start of this match, Madrid played a defensive strategy, and their aim was to draw the match.

Although Manchester City is strong, City's performance is also somewhat erratic. De Bruyne has yet again suffered an injury. However, De Bruyne will return to the squad before facing Real Madrid. Even then, it is difficult to say whether De Bruyne can play well. If De Bruyne does not perform well, it will not be easy for City to win against Madrid.

I also agree that Man City will win this match. I agree that Real Madrid is a strong team, but compared to their current strength, they will be a strong team in the domestic tournament. As for the Champions League, they are just one of the championship candidates for this season. Coach Ancelotti is very experienced, but his students are still rookies who need more time to hone and perfect. I am still confident in asserting that Man City has the highest chance of winning the Champions League this season with 32%.

Of course, Kevin De Bruyne is the main trigger for Man City. He contributed greatly to Man City's 3 goals against Copenhagen. I still remember that with this same squad, Man City "blew" Real Madrid out of the Champions League with an extraordinary performance last season.

Many people say Tactically, La Liga is much better than the Premier League. If we talk about intensity, the Premier League might be better. In addition to simple winning and losing results, the competition between Real and Man City will be an opportunity to test which English Premier League or La Liga is truly comprehensive. Real and Man City will represent the two top tournaments.
