Match Overview
Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the first leg of the quarterfinal of the UEFA Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 9, Tuesday. This promises to be one of the biggest games in the ongoing UCL and will showcase to the world what two of the finest teams in the world of football will do when they come up against each other.
Key Highlights
Real Madrid will be confident of playing at home, and this will spur them on ahead of this massive game against City. Madrid have a strong defensive lineup, and this will provide them with the cushion of pushing forward and attacking whenever they get the opportunity to do so. Madrid's midfielders have to be on top of their game as well.
Injury Report
David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois are the only absentees for Real Madrid in this game whereas for City, Josko Gvardiol, Nathan Ake and Kyle Walker will not be available.
Prediction
City, who have been unbeaten in the last five games that they have played - just like Madrid - will feel themselves to be on the ascendancy and ahead of their opponents. Their sharp attacking players will be keen on making a mark for themselves in this game but there are no favourites. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
