Real Madrid vs. Manchester City Predictions
Manchester City fell short against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals last season. Man City took the first leg at home by a score of 4-3. Then, Los Blancos won 3-1 at home in the second leg, helping Real Madrid advance by an aggregate score of 6-5.
On paper, Manchester City has everything it needs to get revenge. The form has been impeccable, as City has earned a win or draw in 18 straight across all competitions. However, they haven’t been great on the road in the Champions League.
You can see in the results above, Man City tied with Leipzig in the first leg of the Round of 16. Then, another draw came at Bayern in the quarterfinal. To be fair, Man City had a healthy lead at that point.
Yes, Erling Haaland is great, but it is extremely difficult to win at Real Madrid. This is a poised team that knows what it takes to get the job done at this stage. Los Blancos should hold on with just enough to manage a draw against Man City after several goals from both sides.
