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 has always been the best team for the Champions League and this team has won the most Champions League titles in the history of the Champions League so this team should be ahead of all the other teams in terms of experience. Even if all other teams do not do well, Real Madrid will do well in the Champions League. Real Madrid have not had a good start to the season but they may want to forget that performance and plan afresh for the upcoming matches. Now their main target is to do well in the Champions League as well as retain the La Liga title. Real Madrid are well ahead in retaining the La Liga title as they are at the top of the table with more points than any other team in La Liga. Now only a good performance in a few Champions League matches will make all their plans come true.
Now I see that Manchester City or Real Madrid are still not consistently good in their performance, for example, Real Madrid was defeated by Espanyol, which of course Espanyol is a team that has just been promoted in Laliga this season and is also ranked 17th now. but I also saw that Manchester City in their last match was not good because they were defeated by Arsenal with a score of 5-1. Of course I also saw that Manchester City's defense line was not good and of course in the upcoming match in the Champions League, Real Madrid will face Manchester City. it will be very difficult to guess who the winner will be.
It is true that if you look at the experience at UCL, Real Madrid is certainly the superior one. But what is certain is that the strongest team will win in the next match. Of course Ancelotti and Pep will try hard to make their team win in the Champions League later. By the way, I remember last season where Manchester City competed fiercely in the UCL, if I'm not mistaken, what I remember at that time was that in 2 meetings the results were draws and in the last match the match had to end in a penalty shootout, so yes, the point is that the next match could happen again. . Of course, for those who want to bet, it will be very difficult for this match because in UCL matches, sometimes it is very difficult to guess who the winner is.
