Although in the last two seasons Real Madrid and Manchester City have faced each other in the semifinals, but in fact Real Madrid and Manchester City have never met in the Champions League final. I think this is very unfortunate because Real Madrid and Manchester City are still in a good trend in these three consecutive seasons. Although indeed, for next season it is also still possible for Real Madrid and Mancehster City to have a good trend, but if they always meet in important matches in the Champions League like this, then at least it might be boring too even though it is not entirely right. But yes, the point is that it's unfortunate that they met in the quarterfinals, because their level is clearly worthy of qualifying for the semifinals and finals.
However, the quarter-final match deserves to be considered the most decisive match, because I think one of them has the potential to win the championship trophy this season. The meeting between the two favorite teams deserved to happen in the final, but the draw brought them together sooner, and it was no less interesting to watch.
The ambitious background of the two teams is an attraction in itself, Madrid will try to take revenge for their defeat last season, and now they have the strength to do so. On the other hand, City strength is not much different from last season, the draw against Arsenal cannot be considered a setback, Pep Guardiola and his squad will try to show a different performance in the Champions League.
It could be that City will be able to beat Madrid like last season, and it could be that Madrid will be able to get their revenge. The point is that this match is quite difficult to predict. Overall, Madrid now has a higher victory reputation than City in all competitions, but we can't use that as a complete reference, because the Champions League alwasy is full of surprises.
