Real raised both Laliga and Champions League The titles last season and are strong favorites to overcome the Premier League champions.
These two global football powers enjoy a fierce rivalry at the very top of European football and would be prematurely rejecting the chances of City, despite the terrible domestic season-when still a world-class world-class player that will be motivated to withdraw to draw up against 15- times the UCl champion.
How bad is it right for Man City?
The Manchester City season may have reached the new low on Saturday, when they had to come from behind to beat the English third side of Leyton Orient 2-1 in the fourth round of Fa Cup.
Already strengthening the season for Pep Guardiola’s side, she seemed to be turning into a nightmare upset as Orient stubbornly protected the 16th minute lead, which gave them a long -term strike by Jamie Donley, who entered the cross -section and the back of the city guard Stefan Ortega.
In the 56th minute, City swallowed and inflated the answer and Abdukodir Khusan’s equalizer in the 56th minute, followed by Kevin de Bruyne, which showed that the winner of the game in the 79th minute allowed Cityzens to hold and progress to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
In the Champions League, Man City and Real Madrid meet for the fourth consecutive season, but this time much earlier in the competition it is largely due to the fight of Cityzens.
The men of Pepa Guardiola finished 22th place on the UCL League phase after winning only three eight matches. City was comfortably beaten by Sporting Lisbon and Juventus, blowing a 3-0 lead to attract 3-3 at home to Feyenoord and admitted four times in the last 35 minutes at Paris Saint-Germain.
What is Real Madrid’s recent guide?

In the Champions League group, Real Madrid did not perform much better than Man City, winning only five of his eight matches.
Accelotti’s side recovered to achieve the playoffs – but their supporting campaign reward was confronted with the side they were replaced last season by the Champions League winners, Manchester City.
