The first leg ended in a 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu. But as away goals are out of consideration, both teams will have to start from scratch if the Etihad's tumultuous gallery margin is excluded. The current champions Manchester City or Real Madrid have to win to get a ticket to the semi-finals. Bayern Munich and Arsenal have the same equation up front.
Those who celebrate at the Allianz Arena will get tickets to the last four. The first leg ended 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium.
Manchester City has a great record on the field. And considering this golden past, the citizens are being kept a little ahead in the fight to reach the semi-finals.
They are unbeaten in 30 consecutive matches in the Champions League at home since 2018. And after November 2022, Pep Guardiola's team did not lose a single match after playing 41 matches at the Etihad. Rodrigo, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr will have to overcome City's impregnable fortress to get a ticket to the last four. Despite the great record at home, however, Citizens coach Pep Guardiola is very cautious, "We have to work every minute properly."
Carlo Ancelotti's team has the ability to write the story in the font of victory. In the 2021-22 season as well, the strong fear of farewell was blown away by three goals in the last minute, and the citizens rang the goodbye bell. However, they wrote that story of heroism in their own field. Real's record at City ground is very faded. They came back with a big 4-0 defeat in the second leg of the semi-finals last year.
This time, Madrid's elite want to get the ticket to the last four with sweet revenge. No mistake can be made in fulfilling this dream, Brazilian star Rodrigo reminded his teammates, "The match is open." We must win. Those who make less mistakes will go to the next round.
The Man City-Real football thriller is a spectacular display of classical football at the Golotesav. A total of 23 goals have been scored in the last five matches between these two teams. An average of 4.6 goals per match. Football lovers can expect such a goal festival at the Etihad tonight! ESPN
