I agree with this because indeed the view of Madrid which is said to always be weak without the core players in defense is always one of the reasons that Madrid will struggle but indeed until now their performance continues to be very good and it cannot be denied that it is a truth by looking at the current situation from the beginning of the season even not only in La Liga but also in the Champions League .
Manchester City are the favorite club especially since they are the defending champions but Madrid cannot be underestimated and this season i want a situation where Madrid can actually knock Manchester City out again in this competition just like the previous two seasons . It can still happen but it depends on the performance on the pitch and Madrid should not repeat last season second leg at the Etihad because it cost them dearly.
Manchester City will not underestimate Real Madrid under any circumstances, so the word "underestimate" should not be mentioned too much. Both teams were serious about preparing for the match, even if both had to lose several main players due to injury. Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League, while Manchester City is only the defending champion with 1 title. The comparison is very baseless, of course, but both teams both have missions and ambitions that must be completed well in the quarter-finals.
I don't think Real Madrid will give up on Manchester City this season, especially as long as Bellingham is in the main line-up. Every player will fight to win both at home and away, this is the best revenge that Ancelotti is currently preparing ahead of the quarter-final match.
