After seeing the game between Manchester City and Arsenal that ended the way it ended, I think Madrid will be more confident that they can win the fixture against Manchester city and city will have their confidence tampered as they were literally humbled by an epic scoreline in the yesterday's fixture. I n this fixture it's sad that winning is the only option for either teams as they cannot draw and still have a chance so it's going to be a really epic and yet intriguing game between both teams.
Well, they still got FA cup game before the playoff 1st leg against Real Madrid. If they can win, it will boost their morale but if they lose, it will only make things worse. But I must say I'm disappointed at their performance at the weekend. They can lose to any side at their worst moment but to lose in the manner they did against Arsenal was quite shocking. Goals were pouring in like free booze and Pep couldn't do anything to stop it. From their recent results, it's quick for anyone to write them off but I hope they put up a good fight against Los Blancos.
Arsenal is not a weak club and they took advantage of City unstable performance to score as many goals as possible. City is not the same as they use to be in previous seasons, and we shouldn't expect too much from them, otherwise, you will be disappointed. I am not also expecting them to win Madrid so that I don't feel bad when the opposite happens. Madrid is in a better position to win City.
It seems that new transfers were not the solution for Manchester City. They fell apart against Arsenal. Arsenal crushed them. I don't think anyone expected this result. Also, a five-goal defeat in such big games would be the biggest disappointment and nightmare for big teams. It was a dream night for Arsenal, but we can say the opposite for Manchester City. They should prepare better for the Champions League match they will play with Real Madrid. Because if Real Madrid gets a similar score to Arsenal, it will be the worst season for Manchester City in recent years.
