It’s a 50:50 game but I will still choose Madrid over Manchester City. Real Madrid has a remarkable history in the Champions League, winning the trophy for a record of 15 times. As reigning champions, they have consistently demonstrated their ability to step up in crucial European matches. Their experience in knockout stage football coupled with their winning mentality gives them a strong advantage.
Even though Real Madrid have a long history in the UCL and have won 15 trophies, it doesn't mean they are unbeatable. Real Madrid just lost points at Espanyol's headquarters in the continuation of La Liga, the negative result had a little impact on their mentality as they were preparing to face Man City who were much stronger than the team that had just beaten them.
This match is like a final for both teams, although Real Madrid are favorites, Man City can also provide a surprise.
