The Champions League schedule for the play-off round has been determined, I did not expect Real Madrid and Man City to meet in this play-off round which means we will not see one of them in the last 16 because only 1 can qualify for the next round, I think Real Madrid is more favored in this meeting because as we know Real Madrid has started to return to its best performance and their dominance in the UCL is unquestionable, although Man City is also starting to improve their performance little by little, but Man City is still not fully recovered.
Just like you, I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to meet Manchester City at this time of this stage of the competition but I'm very happy that both teams are drawn against each other. I was among the few persons who wanted Manchester City to be eliminated in the group stage but since they're escaped elimination there, I don't think they'll escape it again when they face the reigning Spanish and European champions.
I don't expect it to get an easy ride Real Madrid when they face Manchester City but I'm very confident they'll progress to the next round at the expense of the English club
