In a captivating rematch of the previous year’s unforgettable Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid, with their 14 titles, face off against the reigning champions, Manchester City, in the first leg of this year’s quarter-final at the Bernabeu.
Nearly a year ago, Pep Guardiola’s squad delivered a stunning performance, defeating the 14-time champions 5-1 across two matches to advance to the final. Despite a deadlock in Madrid, Manchester City unleashed a scoring frenzy at the Etihad.
As Real Madrid becomes more familiar with high-stakes knockout encounters against their counterparts from Manchester, they are eager to amend the previous year’s humiliating defeat at the Etihad. Given the Blancos’ current winning form under Carlo Ancelotti, there’s a strong belief that the hosts on Tuesday have what it takes to dethrone the Sky Blues.
