Real Madrid are still considered hot favorites for the Champions League title. Madrid's performance was weak in some matches of the Champions League. And at the moment, Real Madrid is a strong team. On the other hand, we saw Manchester City's performance against Arsenal yesterday. Manchester City is not able to play well against big teams. So I don't think Manchester City will be able to create any major obstacles for Real Madrid to qualify for the next round. Real Madrid will win both matches against City.
But don't forget that two days ago Real Madrid also just lost to a team in the relegation zone in Laliga, namely Espanyol. Espanyol received full points from beating Real Madrid which kept Espanyol out of the relegation zone. So I see the same situation and conditions currently between Real Madrid and Manchester City. So it will still be quite difficult to see which team is stronger. Because basically these two teams are strong teams and when they awaken to their full strength it will still be difficult to beat these two teams. And later at UCL the two will meet. And I think it's hard to guess which team is the favorite. But so far Real Madrid looks better. because currently Real Madrid is still able to maintain its position at the top of the Laliga standings. This is different from Manchester City, which is even having difficulty staying in the top 4 of the Premier League and is now in 5th place.
