This is a match between two of Europe's top teams at the moment, a match full of prestige and revenge, of course both teams will field their entire best squad and use all their best qualities in this match.
Both teams are aware that this is a very, very difficult match, so there is nothing to be underestimated here.
This meeting should now be viewed anymore as a form of revenge, but a form of survival between two big teams in Europe. The two teams are in their best forms and you can’t tell which is better or has a higher chances of making it to the next round of the competition. I am not bidding or supporting any team to win in this match, their performance will relay for them in this match.
This is very possible because from the start Real Madrid and Manchester City were quite the favorites to win the UCL title this season, but unfortunately the meeting between the two teams happened too quickly.
Playing home or away may have a slight influence but it is not that significant and I think everything will be quite fair for both teams.
The meeting happened too quickly than it even happened last season when they both met in the semifinals. Manchester City prevailed in that match and that was the season they got to win their first ever Champions League trophy. This season proves to be a promising one for them too, but can they eliminate Real Madrid for the second term in a row? That remains the unknown puzzle that will left to be unfold at the end of their meeting with each other.
