I personally hope Madrid can get a win in this match but it cannot be denied that this condition is difficult to believe especially since this is a big match so that mentality, club readiness and game schemes will be very influential in the end for the final result.
I am a fan of Madrid also and hope for the best results. I was a bit surprised when look both team meet on playoff, It's like the finals are too early. I just hope both team meet PSV or Brest, and meet in the semi-finals, but all has happened, I only hope Madrid can maintain their trophy for this session or at least be able to play at the next level. I admit, The city has begun to increase its performance after recruiting several players as the Defender. The city also added to their ammunition on front which make it harder to the squad to manage their improvement. Rodrygo has rediscovered its best performance, and appear to be in sync with Mbappe, This good development will be tested again, but of course it will be hard because the city's defense getting more solid.
Real Madrid vs Man City match is a great wait for me for the fans. I think City are one of the best teams in Europe and with the ammunition they are adding, it can be said that they are one of the best teams in Europe. Pep Guardiola is preparing extensively for his team members to set strategies on the other hand it is another challenge for Ancelotti. I will put the Madrid team ahead in terms of mentality and ability because of the mentality of the players to improve and the desire to win trophies in recent times. Madrid is a successful team in terms of previous experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League they have been successful in the last four seasons. If you focus on City's current season, their ability is quite questionable and coach Guardiola has faced a lot of criticism. Some of his decisions in using players at the right time are controversial. Madrid although in a somewhat negative form at the beginning of the season, have proven themselves to be very positive over time.
