Man City vs Real Madrid Preview

It’s been another fantastic campaign for City. Not only are they on the verge of making the UCL final, but Pep Guardiola’s side has the chance to win the treble. With Arsenal slipping up over the weekend, the Sky Blues are now four points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand, making them huge favorites in the EPL odds. They also face Manchester United in the FA Cup final in early June.

Nevertheless, the focus will surely be on the competition City has yet to conquer. The EPL title-holders were in the final back in 2020-21 but lost to Chelsea. The hope is Erling Haaland can be the difference-maker when it comes down to it.

He was actually rather poor in the first leg against Madrid but with a Champions League-best 12 goals this term, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him play an integral part Wednesday.

Having already lost the La Liga title to rivals Barcelona, Madrid will undoubtedly be hungry to win a record 15th Champions League title. Of course, they’re also the reigning champions, having beaten Liverpool in the final last May.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side is coming off a win at the weekend, snatching three points from Getafe. Marco Asensio produced the goods in the second half but Los Blancos should’ve had more. History isn’t exactly on their side for this second leg, going winless in their last four visits to Manchester City in the UCL. That includes two defeats and two draws.
