Real Madrid once again showed class in the Champions League. After a late comeback, they defeated Manchester City 3-2 in the first match and are on their way to eliminating them again. However, the rematch should not be written off, as one of their two home losses this season was precisely in the Champions League, losing 1-3 to Milan. All of Real's home matches in the tournament this season had over 3.5 goals and goals in both nets.
Guardiola almost wrote off Man. City for the rematchCity coach Pep Guardiola stated before the rematch that the chances of his team beating Real at the Bernabeu are minimal, estimating them at one percent. This may be just a bluff and certainly his statement can be considered unexpected. Especially after City recorded one of their best victories of the season on Saturday, winning 4-0 at home against Newcastle, with new signing Omar Marmush scoring a hat-trick. However, as a guest, City has suffered three consecutive losses in the Champions League, the latest being a 2-4 defeat to PSG.
Prediction: both teams to score, over 3.5 goalsSimilar to the first match, there are all the prerequisites for a new high-scoring clash between the two teams.
