Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo has praised Manchester City ahead of their Champions League clash, admitting that it is annoying to play against them. City, who recently won against Crystal Palace, will be facing Real Madrid in the quarter-final, seeking to repeat their victory from last season’s encounter. Despite some injury concerns for City, they are still considered favorites to win the tie, but Real Madrid will pose a strong challenge with their key players such as Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Bellingham.

Rodrygo’s honest admission about City being a difficult team to play against shows his respect for the reigning champions. With City missing players like Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake, they may face challenges in containing Real Madrid’s attacking threats. However, the absence of Walker could provide an opportunity for young players like Rico Lewis to step up and make an impact in the game. Overall, City will have to work hard to maintain control of the game and deal with Real Madrid’s strong attacking lineup.

Despite the perceived strength of City, Real Madrid will be looking to come out on top and avenge their loss in the previous season’s encounter. With Rodrygo acknowledging the difficulty in facing City, it sets the stage for an intense and competitive quarter-final clash between two top European teams. Both sides will need to be at their best to secure a spot in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
