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%.

do you remember that Real Madrid could also score more in the first leg and maintain the aggregate score in the second leg like several seasons ago?
well, from the history of the meeting it can be taken into consideration to see the team's chances of qualifying for the next round and I don't doubt the performance of Guardiola team, but I also believe that Ancelotti is one of the smart coaches who can beat his strongest opponent.
you said that Ancelotti is a very experienced coach and that is the fact, even though the Madrid players do not all have experience in the UCL, with his experience the coach can bring Real Madrid through to the semi finals and believe me, Ancelotti also knows the weaknesses of Guardiola strategy and can exploit the weaknesses to beat Man City.
IMO, the chances of these two teams are 50:50.

Now that Ancelotti and Guardiola meet again, will Ancelotti be smart enough to know Guardiola's weaknesses?

The two best coaches in the world will face each other. However, neither considers themselves as such. The truth is that Pep and Ancelotti have some curious statistics when facing each other in the Champions League. If in the Premier League, Ancelotti never beat Pep Guardiola when he faced Man City while leading Everton, then in the Champions League, the situation is entirely opposite. And the balance is leaning more towards strategist Ancelotti. Both love football, both have the talent to manage the dressing room and the egos of big names to best promote the qualities of the superstars they have on hand. It is tough to put these two talented coaches on the scale to see who is heavy and who is light because their personalities, football thinking, training methods, and dressing room management are very different.

Definitely, Ancelotti, we know Guadiola's weaknesses this time, and they will not aim to lose to Manchester City the second time. I am confident that Real Madrid will be prepared for Guardiola, and I believe they will do their best to disqualify Guardiola in the UCL. Ancelotti and Guardiola are both very talented coaches, and everyone is doing well in their leagues. Guardiola is fighting for first place in the league table, and he wants to win the Premier League again this season, but Liverpool and Arsenal are attempting to stop them. And Ancelotti has already top the laliga league and they are in 99% of winning the laliga title, he won't stress that crucial players in the league anymore he will focus on champions league competition. he can just put his full squad when facing Barcelona because he won't try to lose at home when facing Barcelona. I can't predict who will definitely win the Champions League this season.
