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.
these two teams are truly extraordinary because they have been favorites since the UCL season started and in my opinion there is no worry for Ancelotti to face the challenges that Man City will give because Man City this season is different from last season which looked really very strong, even Real Madrid lost their mentality a little last season seeing Man City very fierce performance.
this season has become a comparison that the strong performance has turned into a little weak and I think Man City has the same strength of performance.
so whatever Ancelotti will face, he already knows what he will do because I am sure that in the second leg, Man City will be stronger, but in the first leg, Madrid will get a bigger score.
I don't doubt Man City but I always hope that Real Madrid can take revenge for last season's defeat.
