Real Madrid vs Manchester City preview
Real Madrid
The current Champions League winners will try to take a huge step forwards to their 15th title by getting a positive result at home against Manchester City in their first-leg clash.
Los Blancos have great chances of lifting the Copa del Rey title, as they are in the final, while in the UCL they are just three games away from the title.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side bounced back from their 4-2 defeat against Girona to beat Almeria last time out in LaLiga, although they are 11 points behind leaders Barcelona with a few games remaining.
Manchester City
Meanwhile, The Citizens are fighting to lift the first Champions League trophy in their history. They were very close to achieving their goal in the 2020-21 season, but lost to Chelsea (0-1).
City, who were eliminated from the European competition last year by Real Madrid, will try to get revenge and with the addition of Erling Haaland in the squad, Pep Guardiola’s men are now the favorites to advance to the final over two legs.
In the Premier League, Man City, with one game in hand, overtook Arsenal at the top of the standings, as they defeated Fulham (1-2) last time out and The Gunners weren’t able to win any of their last four league games.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City: prediction
The first round of the Champions League semifinals between these two European heavyweights is expected to be fully action and tension-packed.
Real Madrid, who will be playing at home, know they will need to take advantage of that before visiting the Etihad Stadium, but Haaland will want to deny the hosts the chance of playing another final.
Vinicius Jr., Karim Benzema, and Rodrygo will likely cause a few headaches to Guardiola and his players, but Los Blancos won’t have key playmaker Luka Modric, and that could prove decisive in the midfield fight in favor of the English side.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-2 Manchester City
