Defending champions Manchester City will face off against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, with the first leg taking place at the Santiago Bernabeu. Last season, City outplayed Real Madrid in the knockout stages, defeating them 4-0 in the second leg. Real Madrid will be looking to avenge that defeat this time around, as they are in top form in La Liga and have been performing well in the Champions League.
Both teams have key players missing due to injuries, with Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba sidelined, while Manchester City’s Kyle Walker is also out. The predicted lineups for both teams show strong formations and tactics that they will likely use in the match. Real Madrid will rely on Vinicius Junior to deliver on the left flank, while City will look to Erling Haaland to lead their attack.
In terms of statistics, Manchester City has a slight edge over Real Madrid in their past encounters. However, with both teams having evolved since their last meeting, it is expected to be a closely contested match. The Hard Tackle predicts a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid in the first leg, based on their current form and home advantage.
