With the way the fixtures have been made, we must accept that either Real Madrid or Manchester City will be eliminated in the quarter-finals. If the teams that qualified in the quarter-finals had been sorted according to their strength, we could have seen relatively strong teams in the semi-finals or finals, but that was not the case. Since the competition will be between Manchester City and Real Madrid, we will see either team in the semi-finals. We usually consider the semi-final and final matches to be more competitive but this season the quarter-final might be the most competitive as the quarter-final contenders are Manchester City and Real Madrid.
These teams entering the quarterfinals are all strong teams, quite evenly matched, even though fans always rate Mancity and Real Madrid as the highest. However, they can all be beaten by the remaining teams, competition is present in all matches from this round onwards. Maybe because the fans and people who love these two teams are significantly more than the other teams, it is understandable that they feel that this is the early and most competitive final.
But anyway this is a UEFA champions league competition, so it is not easy to predict who will dominate the match. But I would go for Barcelona because I am a Barcelona fan I would love to see a Barcelona victory.
I also look forward to a victory for Barcelona and hope that they can win the championship. It will be interesting if Xavi can lead Barca to win the prestigious trophy after instability and financial difficulties. Barca's fan will have a different look at Xavi, the Champion League trophy is well deserved for Xavi's contributions to Barca.
