Real Madrid remains a candidate for the trophy, so any team that will play against Real Madrid will certainly make the team not have a good chance of winning. Although indeed, I also recognize that Manchester City will also make their best efforts, but basically Manchester City is also still in a difficult situation at this time. But yes, if Manchester City really make good preparations for this play off round, then it is still possible for Manchester City to take revenge to get rid of Real Madrid. Because basically Real Madrid also still does not fully have a stable performance, so Real Madrid has a gap to be defeated, moreover there are two legs to be played.

Well I cannot express this certainty with Madrid again at this point and that is because this season in the Champions League they haven't been the king that they are, they have all the experience enough to get them not having to struggle in the confined of the champions league this much so for me it's more like they are still at the same levels of consideration like every other big team but with the advantage of having so much experience which they can explore to their advantage.

They have never been the king, but there were a couple of seasons when they got quite lucky and advanced to the next rounds against all expectations. Luck doesn't make them king. A lot of things worked out at the same time in their favor, which led to several titles in the Champions League for them. But this word king has never really applied to them. They won a few titles that the players themselves could hardly believe because they were out of the game literally minutes before the games ended. The Champions League isn't about being the king, it is about so many little things that have to play out in your favor that being modest about your chances is the best you can do. It doesn't mean a team shouldn't be self-confident, but those who are watching the competition know that it's tiny little differences that decide over defeat and victory.
