A season ago, we wouldn’t have thought this way of Manchester City, they were the team that was matched for Real Madrid and almost kept them away from champions league title. Today, it’s a different case entirely. Even when Manchester City was arguably real title contenders in the Champions league, Real Madrid always did find a way to beat them. Now, they are just shadows of it formal self Manchester City, facing the same strong opponent in Real Madrid, there hopes to progress is so little.
That's what many people say that “Real Madrid always find a way to qualify for the next phase” this will not be surprising because we often see how Real Madrid began to fall into a slump but turned around to become a winner with a large aggregate score.
Now that there are two legs to play, both sides could have an equal chance, for example in the first leg we see who wins and dominates the game that could also make them survive to qualify, if Manchester City win at home then at home Real Madrid only need a draw although this will be difficult to do.
Any result is certainly possible, because Manchester City and Real Madrid will certainly do their best no matter what their previous results are, and no matter what their domestic league trends are like. But for now, I think because Real Madrid's squad is dominated by young players, it might be difficult for them to get good results. Although, with a young squad it will give better energy too, but if for example Ancelotti doesn't make the right strategy and tactics, then it is possible for Real Madrid to be eliminated. But yes, basically this match will certainly be a difficult match for both teams, because both teams are basically title candidates, so they have the same level too.
