Manchester City has indeed performed well in the UCL so far under Pep Guardiola but when compared to Real Madrid's experience of course Real Madrid is superior to Man City, it doesn't mean I underestimate Man City but if we judge based on their achievements Real Madrid is the best club in the UCL while Man City is known to be strong but they have only won 1 UCL title in their history, in their meeting I will lean more towards Real Madrid this club definitely wants to continue to conquer the Champions League every season.

The condition of the Manchester City team this season has been very different so that when an opponent who is quite experienced in the Champions League meets Manchester City in the play-off match, of course most people will definitely choose Real Madrid as the team that will be able to qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season. Because the Champions League always shows a much fiercer competition than what we usually see in the domestic League and that will clearly happen in the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match because both must be able to do their best in the match in order to be in the next round.

Madrid have been considered as the rulers of the UCL because of their mentality and experience, so it is not surprising that they are the favourites to win the UCL this season even before the UCL starts, but after seeing the condition and performance of their team this season in the group phase, I actually began to doubt if they could qualify from the play offs, not because they faced a team as big as Manchester City, but because the depth of the squad they have at the moment is very bad, especially their defence after many defenders have suffered injuries, indeed the condition of manchester city is also no different from madrid, but they are actually better with the recruitment of players in the January transfer market, while madrid precisely did nothing in the transfer market this season to strengthen their squad.

Real Madrid has always been a big team in the Champions League, but this season they are not able to perform as well as they did in the Champions League this season. In most of the matches that Real Madrid have faced in the Champions League so far, we have not seen such a performance from Real Madrid. However, Real Madrid fans believe very well that their team will definitely do well in the Champions League this season even though their performances have not changed much. Mainly the reason for Real Madrid's poor performance is that several key players in Real Madrid's defense lineup are injured and due to this they are not able to defend well on the field. The upcoming matches are definitely important for Real Madrid, especially the match against Manchester City is more important for Real Madrid. Real Madrid will return to a much better position in the Champions League if Manchester City can be defeated.
