You are correct, but when you examine both teams and conduct a thorough comparison, you will be able to conclude that they are not so far apart that one is clearly superior to the other in terms of strength and who will advance from this stage. Real Madrid and Manchester City have been identified as two of the top teams to win the title this season, but to our surprise, they must now face each other to determine who is the better team. To me, both can showcase their best in this match, and the better team will have success and will qualify for the next round of the competition, as I see them both on an even level.
The performance of the two clubs is currently 50/50 equally outperforming in their respective leagues including the UCL.
I see both teams being very strong at home as their advantage will remain there, if Real Madrid miss the first leg then it will be difficult to decide the second leg so I believe Real Madrid will win the first leg ensuring the aggregate goals.
Yes I know that Real Madrid and Man City will still be on the same level, Real Madrid have beaten Man City and Man City have beaten Real Madrid and they now meet earlier in the 1/4.
As we are reading most of the soccer pundits are feeling this is going to be the final of the Champions League before real final, so this is going to be a fierce match which will be surely match of this round as well who is winning it's not clear.
