And finally, Man City lost to Real Madrid at their home ground, in the first leg with a score of 2-3.

Most times, football is all about mentality. I saw that even though Real Madrid was losing, they showed alot of winning mentality and could not stop pressing while Manchester city who started pressing early enough was not able to maintain the tempo till the end. Champions league is not about the best playing team but the best fighters who are able and willing to fight till the end. I am not sure that Manchester City will be able to win in the return leg. Guardiola and his boys might totally lose out in this season.

One of the characteristics of Real Madrid since the past is their winning mentality is indeed quite high, especially in UCL and some matches that are indeed high tension. It's just that, sometimes Real Madrid this season missed that several times, what a shame.

However, in the match against Man City, Real Madrid players really did it, even though there were some actions from Man City supporters that seemed provocative, but in the end Real Madrid was able to beat them with pride.
