Well, that's Real Madrid, which we already know as a team that can always show its best performance at the right time. Even at the beginning of the UCL, Real Madrid experienced many difficulties and almost failed to make it to the play-off round, but in the end Real Madrid was able to recover and managed to enter the play-off round. And now when Real Madrid is faced with a difficult match against one of the strongest teams, namely Man City, it turns out that Real Madrid can also get through it well by winning yesterday's match which actually almost made Real Madrid lose. But with a few minutes remaining we saw Real Madrid turn things around quickly.
Real Madrid have one foot in the last 16 after winning at Man City's headquarters, but they also need to be careful in the second leg because Man City are very ambitious to turn things around at the Santiago Bernabeu. Man City have enough ammunition to make a comeback in the second leg, but they will have to work to score at least 2 goals to qualify, but Real Madrid will certainly not waste the chance they almost got.
I just wish that this Manchester City will see today is the real giant of England that we use to know in last season and past few seasons I would have been so convinced that they would definitely make a comeback against Real Madrid. But this present Manchester City we have today might not be able to make that expected come back even if Real Madrid is not even in their best performance. What I understood is that Real Madrid play more of Champions League traditional football as if they are entitled to the cup. They play with a whole lot of confidence even when they gain is against them. This is a quality that Manchester City lack because if they have that quality they wouldn't have allowed to Real Madrid to make a comeback and even win the match within 10 minutes of ending the match.
Honestly, if football should be very fair, Real Madrid does not deserve the Champions League title of this season even Manchester City. We just need another separate body if possible Liverpool to win it because they deserve it.
