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.
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola have been one of the most consistent clubs in the UEFA Champions League in the past five years so I don't think anyone who understands the game of football would want to underestimate their abilities just because they're having a bad season. Real Madrid on the other side is the defending champions in the UEFA Champions League competition but apart from being the reigning champions, they've easily been a better team than Manchester City since the start of the current season.
The play-off tie between these two European champions is actually a difficult one to predict but because Real Madrid's current run of form and the quality of players at their disposal, a lot of people are of the opinion that they'll easily get the better of Manchester City and progress to the next round of the competition and I think I totally agree to that
