It was quite enjoyable to watch the match. I am also eagerly waiting for the rematch of the Real Madrid-Manchester City match. I think the match in Spain will be more exciting because Manchester City will have to play attacking football to create more chances. If they score a goal in the early minutes, it will be time for Real Madrid to take risks. This will allow us to watch some good football. Also, the fact that both teams have problems in the defense zone shows us that there may be goals for both teams in the match.
I have little doubt that City will score, because they have no other choice and they have a good attack, but I also think that they will concede, and perhaps more than once. Guardiola has been pessimistic about his team for the rest of this season, and it is difficult to fight such an attitude, especially against Real, who clearly have the goal of winning this tournament again. At best, City can count on a draw in the second leg.


I have the same thought. Both teams have one thing in common, and that is the poor performance of their respective back lines, so it is likely that they will both concede goals in the second leg, and what will be the deciding factor is who between them can score more goals. In this case, Real Madrid has the advantage because they are 1 goal ahead of their opponents and in that match, Real Madrid will play in front of their own fans.

This will be a tough fight for Man City, as the defeat in the first leg (as hosts) will obviously affect their confidence quite a bit. Meanwhile, in football, apart from technical and tactical battles between the two teams, there is also psychological warfare. So in my opinion, Real Madrid is more promising than Man City.
