Real Madrid will play at home against Manchester City in the second leg of the 1/2 finals of the Champions League. The match will take place on May 4, starting at 22:00 Moscow time. Real Madrid – Manchester City: forecastbet, odds, statistics.
“Real”
Real Madrid are amazingly lucky – this is already part of the DNA of the Madrid monster. Although after the first 15 minutes of the match at the Etihad, Real Madrid could hardly be compared with a monster.
Madrid conceded the first goal on the Manchester City field in the second minute. Soon the champion of England scored another goal – and the team Carlo Ancelotti was in deep depression. Others would have been simply finished off after that, but not Real Madrid.
“Real” managed to win back one goal before the break, scored, as usual, Karim Benzema. Perhaps later this very moment will be called the key, after which Real Madrid came to life and realized that everything was not so bad.
In the second half, Man City led first 3:1, then 4:2, but in the end – 4:3. “Real” lost, but the advantage of the English club is only one goal. Given all the circumstances and the incredible attacking power of City, we can safely say that Real have achieved a great result on the opponent’s field.
“Manchester city”
And there’s no doubt that Josep Guardiola terribly upset, despite the fact that his team won. 4:3 is clearly not a reason to rejoice.
How cool Man City was in attack, just as mediocre in defense. It’s strange, but from year to year, the “citizens” have unthinkable failures just at the most crucial moment.
In addition to the recent match against Real Madrid, there are several other striking examples. In 2017, City conceded three goals at home in the Champions League play-off match against Monaco. Outcome – flight. In 2019, Guardiola’s team beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 at the Etihad, but lost on aggregate.
All predictions for the Champions League
On the one hand, Real Madrid are really incredibly lucky, but Man City really played ugly in defense, especially in the central zone and the right flank. Oddly enough, Alexander Zinchenko, who played on the left side of the defense, was the least mistaken.
Forecast and rate

Real Madrid are certainly inspired after the first game, after all, the opponent was not as scary as they said. With approximately the same thoughts, the Madrid players approached the second leg with Chelsea after a bright victory at Stamford Bridge.
But if then it was enough for Real Madrid to keep the advantage, now it is necessary to recoup. And Man City is not a dull PSG stuffed with lazy stars.
Sometimes you still need to trust your intuition, and this time it tells you that Man City will beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid do not yet have enough resources to defeat City. Unless the opponent will again play terribly in defense, but this is unlikely.
