Game Prediction
The previous Champions League cycle was not complete without head-to-head duels between Manchester City and Real Madrid. This time, the winners of the last draws meet at the quarter-final level. Guardiola awaits Ancelotti in England on Wednesday – who will succeed in this battle? The expert department of the website has presented a prediction for the central match on April 17, 2024.
Manchester City does not mind being the strongest again in England and in Europe as a whole
“The Citizens” were able to win all the key tournaments in the previous cycle. Having already achieved the “golden double” in the Foggy Albion for the umpteenth time, they finally added to it the long-awaited triumph in the Champions League. The desired trophy was added by the success in the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Championship. This time, the giant, seriously laying claim to the victories in the Premier League and the FA Cup again, confidently moves at the European arena: it won the group and took the victories in the struggles with Copenhagen with the same 3-1 score in the 1st round of the play-offs. Haaland and the company began the quarter-finals in Spain. And even a couple of offensive, goal-scoring rebounds did not break them – the club played a 3-3 draw.
Real Madrid can focus entirely on the Champions League
“The Galácticos” have won more often than anyone else in this tournament. Still, the team retired in the semi-finals in the previous season and was weaker than Barcelona in La Liga. Now we can already talk about revenge for Ancelotti’s stars at the inner stage: the club defeated “the Catalans” with a 4-1 score in the Super Cup and keep a comfortable distance in La Liga. As a result, “the Royal Club”, having put things in order in Spain, is clearly not against returning the most prestigious European trophy. It is noteworthy that it was given a decent fight by RB Leipzig, which lost by 1 goal, already in the 1/8 finals (a 1-0 success in Germany and a 1-1 draw on the native field). Speaking about the battle with the opponent from England at the Santiago Bernabéu, the team, alternately leading the score, finished in a draw – 3-3.
