Manchester City and Real Madrid meet in the last eight of the UEFA Champions League. The return match will be played on Friday, at 20:00, on Etihad Stadium, without spectators.
Real is the fittest team in Europe since the resumption of football. Zinedine Zidane’s team won the first ten La Liga matches, played since the restart of the championship, the only draw being registered in the last stage, when the Madridians had already secured the title of champions.
Pep Guardiola’s team did not disappoint either, even if City lost the title to Liverpool. The “citizens” won all six matches played at home since the resumption of the season, scoring 24 goals, with only one goal conceded.
Guests will not be able to rely on suspended captain Sergio Ramos, while City will not have Sergio Aguero at their disposal. Real is much more experienced in this competition, winning four of the last six editions. City will be much more prudent in this game, starting from the first minute with an advantage on the table. On the other hand, Real will have to attack from the start, a 1-0 victory not being enough for a qualification in the quarterfinals. We bet on the victory of the guests, with the stake returned in case of a tie.
City won the Madrid tour with a score of 2-1;
Until the victory in February, the Manchester team was unsuccessful in front of Real, in the four direct disputes in the Champions League (two defeats and two draws);
In three of the five direct Champions League matches, both teams scored;
PREDICTION: Manchester City to win @ 1,70
