Manchester City are not a weak team but their performance has been poor this season. Since Manchester City have enough experience of good performances before, they can do well against Real Madrid and it will not be surprising if they win against Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid are thinking about this more than we are thinking about it and they are planning to prepare themselves that way and then come out against Manchester City. Basically, Real Madrid or Manchester City can't go wrong in this important match. If Real Madrid or Manchester City make any mistake in this match then the result could go against the team that makes the mistake. Which team wins will depend on the performance on the field, but given the way Manchester City and Real Madrid are currently performing against other opponents, I'm slightly ahead of Manchester City in this match.
Many people tend to put Real Madrid as the most favored and better team to win this match and that is because of their history in the champions league and also how they play to the end in any circumstance they find themselves in. They are a very tough team both, and you can’t use history of this competition to judge any team in this match. Real Madrid may have good history in the past, but today, how they’re performing will not make them stand a chance whatsoever to make it to the final round of the competition.
They’re meeting now in the competition with Manchester City because of how poorly they’ve both been as a team in this competition, so they’re both at a chance of making it to the next round which will depend on how they play in this games. I don’t have a preferred team, but their performance will speak for themselves and to how far they can make it to the next round of the competition.
