I mean Real managed to beat City before as well, and last year City managed to beat Madrid, they are both good teams and could beat each other, so it doesn't feel like that would be such a big bore, I think that seems to be the case, I feel like that seems like the most important part. I feel like the best thing about the current situation is that you could possibly make it work one way or another and should not be afraid of just going for the win.
Any team that plays too defensive against the other, would be only calling for a loss, so both teams should play as attacking as possible without fear. City could play a little bit more defensive and I fear that they could lose because of that, possession is great and all, but they need to score.
Indeed. Both Man City and Real Madrid have almost the same squad quality and they also have smart coach. No doubt that they have the same chance to defeat one another. It is difficult to predict which team to win the matches and qualify for the next round. However, I think Real Madrid is a bit better because they look like in their best shape recently. Meanwhile Man City looks not in their best performance because their strikers are no longer as productive as in the previous season.
Sure, which team that is trying to play defensively, it may lead us to a lose. I don't think Man City or Real Madrid will play defensively, moreover it is in the Leg 1. They must try to score as many as possible in this Leg because they want to secure their aggregate for the Leg 2. Which team can lead in Leg 1, they will be easier to face Leg 2.
