Match Preview
The standout tie in the last eight of the Champions League will see Real Madrid and Man City collide. Real Madrid will have the important home advantage for the first leg, and there will be pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s side to claim victory in order to have something to defend back in Manchester against the reigning European champions.
Los Blancos have been dominant throughout the tournament to this point, winning seven of their eight matches. However, they avoided an unlikely upset in the previous round against RB Leipzig after scraping through with a 2-1 aggregate success. Jude Bellingham will once again be the most important player for the home side in this tie.

Man City remain on course to achieve a historic double treble this term, and this fixture against Real Madrid could prove to be one of their most difficult between now and the end of the season. The English side have already eclipsed the longest winning run in the competition, and they will be looking for a remarkable sixth success by a 3-1 margin.
City cruised through the previous round of the competition after landing back-to-back 3-1 wins against Copenhagen. The current top scorer in the competition- Erling Haaland- netted in the return leg to take his tally in the Champions League this season to six goals.
Real Madrid vs Man City Prediction
Man City overcame Real Madrid in the semi-final stage of the Champions League last season, but this looks a tougher assignment this term. Therefore, we could see the first meeting between the teams ending in a score draw.
