This big match was like a final match between two strong clubs that dominate the Champions League, I also didn't expect the meeting between the two to be held in the quarter-finals, I thought the two would meet in the final or at least in the semifinals. But in my opinion, the clubs that are playing in the quarter-finals have equal opponents. Manchester City and Real Madrid are equal opponents in the Champions League and even last season Manchester City looked like a very strong club in beating Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and also Inter Milan.
And Manchester City wants to repeat the same thing by eliminating Real Madrid earlier in the quarter-finals, by eliminating Real Madrid Manchester City will find it easier to win the Champions League title, but Real Madrid is not a club that is easy to beat just because Real Madrid's performance is better this season, Manchester City must be prepared to face counterattacks in seeking revenge.
Whoever the club passes to the semifinals, I think one of them will face Bayern Munich. If Bayern Munich passes and can get rid of Arsenal, because the strength of the three clubs seems equal, it is quite difficult to predict who will win because these three clubs are very ambitious to win Champions League title.
The heavyweight of matches is the final before final in the UCL. This match is between the 2 best teams in the Ucl in the past 2 years and these 2 teams are the most recent winners of the competition.Funny enough, anyone that eliminates the other will probably go ahead to win the trophy as currently I’m not seeing any of the other 6 teams still in the competition being able to stop any of these 2 teams. They’re quite similar in terms if player’s strength and also coaching abilities.The 2 coaches are knows for their wide level of being tactical and that’s a plus for the teams in match. Also i feel the main focus for the match will be the 2 old Dortmund friends Jude and Erling.
These 2 players are going to be the point men for their teams in this encounter as the success lf their team mostly rely more on their shoulders and how they chose to perform in the match. That not withstanding, both clubs still have players who can decide to take the shine when you least don’t expect. Man City will want to real win the UCL again back to back and they are looking forward to defeating City again and I think they’ll be coming to frustrate Madrid to a draw at the Santiago. I think Ancelotti should be able to get the best tactics to help this Madrid side
I have high hopes on Madrid being able to go through as in my books they’re currently better than the team Man City faced last season. If Madrid goes through I don’t think Bayern will be able to stop them and as such whosoever they meet in the final.
Madrid are better placed when compared to City, Arsenal and Bayern to be able to win the title and I think that’s what’s going to play down at the end of the day. It will probably be 15 UCL for Madrid at the end of the season.
