Yesterday in the City of Jeddah in the Middle East country of Saudi Arabia, the second El Classico of the season was played with Barcelona thrashing Real Madrid 5:2 in that game. After that game, I became worried for Real Madrid who really needs to win their remaining two fixtures in the UEFA Champions League group stage in other to to be sure of a place in the knockout stage. Considering the performance of Real Madrid yesterday, do you think they'll be able to win their remaining games starting with the visit to Salsburg? Let me read your thoughts

I don't think Madrid will have issues with winning their remaining two fixtures in the UEFA Champions League since their next two Champions League fixtures will see them facing Salzburg and Stade Brestois 29 both of which aren't poising any challenge to Madrid right now but unlike I was confident in the Madrid gameplay last season, this season seems to come with a twist of faith for the Los Blancos. Their unpredictable poor performances this season have seen them suffered from maintaining the 1st position of the La Liga league, Super cup final yesterday with 5-2 goals defeat to Barca and currently battling crossing over the UEFA Champions League knockout stage playoffs, so while it would have been easy to predict a win for Real Madrid last season, this season is more unpredictable for the club.

Manchester City certainly has to maximize its opportunities to get several players in the market. They need a good midfielder and also a productive winger, of course this will help them increase their chances of winning in each match. The competition in the second half of the season will be more difficult, as will the remaining Champions League matches.

It's quite interesting to see Manchester City battle from bottom in this season's UEFA Champions League when they are one of our predicted champions league winners for this season and it begs one to ask questions like what's fundamentally wrong with the club and what have caused this sudden dramatic change in their performance. Whereas Manchester City is still working with Pep Guardiola as their head coach. The weird part of Manchester City's games this season is that they take most of the possession, shots on target and pass accuracies yet they end up either losing the game or ending it with a draw. Maybe the club needs to work more on its defensive frailties and also work hard on scoring more goals when served with the opportunity. What Arsenal exibited yesterday against Manchester United is a case study of how a Manchester City club is likely performing this season.
