When everything is decided in one match, then perhaps you are right when you say that the teams have equal chances. If they were able to reach the finals, then they are strong enough to do it. The recent match when City failed to achieve victory in the final is an example of how a clear favorite can lose, a few good attacks, some kind of mistake, a good defensive game, and the outcome becomes completely unexpected.

As funny as this sound, it is a fact as football is concern but let be realistic with ourselves in this case. Manchester united and Manchester city game is completely different from this upcoming champions league final. If not that Manchester united is suffering from setback for some seasons now, they should be on the same level with Manchester city but in the case of Madrid and Dortmund, they are not comparable in every aspect that one can use judge or rate a team. It's possible for us to witness such surprise but saying they have equal chance of winning is a big joke.

Couches do make mistakes and it's one of the reason that led to the downfall of Manchester city. The couch made so silly mistakes in his team selection and such mistakes is one of the factors that contribute to such surprises happening in big games like this upcoming final but I believe Ancelotti will be very careful and study every bit before making any decisions. Perhaps, he has learnt some lessons from that city defeat and would make sure such thing will not happen to them.
