You are reflecting on the previous meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League. Real Madrid faced a challenge despite their comfortable performance in La Liga. Although you expressed the desire for Real Madrid to win La Liga, you considered it fair to let Manchester City win the Champions League this time.
Indeed. He is describing the previous meeting between Real Madrid and Man City. Man City won with 4 goals in Leg 2 of UCL last season. However, Man City squad has been changed, there were some players leaving Man City. So, for the next meeting, it can be different. I don't think Man CIty can be superior against Real Madrid because Real Madrid also has some great players this season. Well, the performance in the league sometimes doesn't influence anything for UCL matches.
It's understandable to have conflicting feelings, especially when considering a favorite team's success versus the competition's fairness. Ultimately, the outcome of a sporting event is determined by the team's performance on the field, and each team strives to achieve its goals within the rules and spirit of the game.
We must learn the stats to consider which team to have a higher chance to win the match. If we learn the stats, we won't feel subjective to see which team is superior for the match. I think Man City vs Real Madrid will be very interesting match because both teams almost have the same quality of the players and the coach as well.
