The first leg match will be played at Manchester City's headquarters, it is a very crucial time for the host, because when playing as a host for me the only choice is to win. As for Real Madrid at least they must be able to hold Manchester City to a draw even though a bigger win would be very beneficial for them. But to get it is certainly very difficult. For the strategy that will be played by both coaches, I think the usual strategy will continue to be done. Manchester City with a strategy of dominating the game while Real Madrid with a pragmatic strategy and relying on fast counterattacks. Whoever makes the most mistakes will be the one to lose.

Looking at Man City's current condition, it seems difficult to beat Madrid who are currently more productive. It doesn't mean that I'm belittling Man City, but the fact is that from several of City's appearances when facing equal teams, the results were only a draw or if. While Madrid always has the right strategy because Ancelotti knows City's weaknesses. My prediction in the first leg, a draw could happen and if City can win, it is likely to only get a low aggregate score. And in the second leg we have to accept the results if Madrid will advance to the next round.

It might sound as if I am underestimating City, but I don't believe that City win or draw any of these matches either home or away. City is weak and we are judging with their old glory, that has made us to forget about the present which is the reality playing out before us. Real Madrid will not take this match lightly with City and they have all the advantages of winning City.
