Manchester City vs Real Madrid

Manchester City is very close to qualifying for the quarterfinals, but the final step is still missing and at these levels never say never. Certainly, the 2-1 with which Pep Guardiola’s team stormed the Santiago Bernabeu is a great way to restart in this return match. The Citizens overturned with goals from Gabriel Jesus and De Bruyne, Isco’s initial disadvantage for the Blancos. To pass could also be enough to lose 1-0, but the British will not have to speculate on the first result.

On the other side, there is, therefore, a Real Madrid called to come back and some important ones. A victory with a difference of two goals or from 3-2 upwards before moving to Portugal for the final eight scheduled from 12 to 23 August. It won’t be easy to knock out the Citizens with these numbers, but Zinedine Zidane’s lineup has qualities and players to win against anyone. It must be said that the absence of Sergio Ramos in defense is not a trivial one, leader of the defense, and absolute leader of the Blancos.
