Real Madrid vs Manchester City Analysis
Real Madrid Preview
It has been a reliable season to this point for Real Madrid, and Carlo Ancelotti’s team could yet end the campaign with two major pieces of silverware. Los Blancos have been dominant throughout the UCL this term. As they won seven of their eight matches since the start of the group stage.
The Real Madrid schedule shows how dominant they were in the opening round, winning all six matches in Group C, scoring an impressive 16 goals in the process. Their biggest scare came in the previous round after holding on to a 2-1 aggregate success against RB Leipzig.
Jude Bellingham ranks among the leaders in the UCL player stats, and his form will be key to any chance of Madrid progressing. For instance, the England midfielder has scored four goals in the competition this term.
Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping for a better outcome against Pep Guardiola this week after landing victory on just one of the last eight previous encounters between the two legendary managers.
Manchester City Preview
It has been business as normal for Pep Guardiola’s Man City in Europe this term. The club could yet end the campaign by landing a historic double treble. Also, Man City dominated the opening round, finishing top of the UCL standings after winning all six of their matches.
City are also the only team remaining in the competition with a 100% record after landing home and away victories in the previous round of the competition against Copenhagen.
Also, the Man City stats show that they have scored 24 goals already in the competition this term. With the UCL team stats showing Erling Haaland to be the most deadly forward after netting on six occasions.
City have recorded victories in each of their last ten matches in the competition. They could close to within four victories of matching the 15-match winning sequence recorded by Bayern Munich between September 2019 and November 2020. Their chances are aided with no further UCL injuries.
