Real Madrid will take on Manchester City at home tonight to secure the next round of the Champions League by defeating Manchester City. Real Madrid secured a 2-1 win against Manchester City in the first match, so Real Madrid will definitely be ahead of Manchester City in today's match. A draw in the opponent's field is a big deal, Real Madrid won there, so I see high hopes for Madrid.
In the match of the second leg, Manchester City may be defeated by Real Madrid with a margin of 3-1. Although I am not betting on Real Madrid in the first leg, I am betting on Real Madrid in the second leg because Real Madrid have a lot of chances in this match. Real Madrid is expected to secure the next round of the Champions League by beating Barcelona by a big margin.
Since Real Madrid won the away match, Real Madrid will not be under much pressure in the home match. If the match is drawn, Madrid will be able to qualify for the next round. And for a team like Madrid, drawing a match is not very difficult. Madrid's squad is very strong.
Real Madrid will get Rudiger and Alaba in the squad today. Two important defenders of Madrid. And if these two defenders are in Madrid's squad, naturally Madrid's defense will be strong. Now if Madrid plays defensively, it will be very difficult for City to score. However, Madrid's defensive strategy is unlikely to play in the home match. The match will be very exciting, maybe.
If Madrid decides to play with defensive approach in today's match Manchester city will win them. The pressure will be more on real Madrid today in my own analysis. They are the king of the champions League and they will want to make sure they do everything necessary to win. Thank God the away goals are no longer effective in the champions league. Not that Manchester city cannot win Madrid in their own home, they can but the problem is that can they hold on to the very end? Against PSG they collapsed after getting two goals lead. Against Madrid they collapsed late and Madrid got the win. Manchester city won't have problems scoring goals today, but can they defend the lead to the very end? If Madrid could come to Etihad won, same way I believe that Manchester city can go to their home and win. Pep should just give me a strong defence that won't consist of Akanji and Diaz and Manchester city will win at Madrid. AC Milan won there after all.
