The fact that Manchester City isn't a big favourite should be obvious by now, I mean sure they are facing Real Madrid now, so it's even less, but even before that, if you watched any game from this season, you should know that they are not favourites at all, and now that they are facing Real Madrid, they are definitely not the favourites this season without a doubt.
I am 99% sure that Real Madrid will beat City and move on, but I do not see them as favourites this season neither, there are many other teams that are looking much better so I am pretty sure that City isn't really the favourites, they don't look like that at all. I am pretty sure that we are going to end up with a different situation based on whatever we see.
In this pair, I am not so sure that Real has such a clear advantage here, although if we evaluate the state of the defense of these teams, then Real is clearly doing better. I am also more inclined to think that Real should beat City, but I see that the overwhelming majority see Real winning, and in such cases, unexpected results often happen. Can City win, of course they can, because despite all their problems, they are still a very strong team with excellent players. So I do not agree with 99% in favor of Real, but I think 60/40 in favor of Real.
Manchester City defeat from Arsenal has opened our eyes to the poor defense they have, as well as when Madrid lost from Espanyol wouldn't it also doubt us to say they are stronger than Manchester City at the moment?
Each of us has our own predictions and also their own views on looking at the match later, so in this case maybe every football fan will be split 50/50 in favouring Madrid or Manchester City as win later, but apart from that, I personally tend to see if the two teams will probably draw in the first and the second leg, so based on the conditions of the two teams may the winner will determined through penalties and it is a difficult choice and prediction to see who is win in my opinion.
