I don't think Madrid is going to allow Manchester City get an easy win that is if eventually they win but then we can expect any thing to happen as both teams are very much experienced in the Champions League, and they both have a very good squad who has got the capabilities to handle the game, except that PEP has had some personal issues in recent times which may affect his performance but lets hope it doesn't get the greater part of him in this game to the point he losses it easily.
Both will try to win the match and qualify for the round of 16, but unfortunately only one of them will win the ticket. It is not easy to determine who will win this match even though Real Madrid can be the favorite. Manchester City also has the opportunity and ability to win the match, meaning that Real Madrid cannot be completely relied on to win.
Playing at home is an advantage for Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's performance has not been as good as expected in the last few matches. Today's derby match ended in a draw for them which is an important match not to lose points. Real Madrid's forward performance was ineffective, but Manchester City was also not as good as before.
