yeah with camavinga and mbappe being very unlikely to play, this is an easy win for man city
As a RM fan, City will win because RM have no defense. Lol. Look at the olympiacos game. My goodness🤦🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
They are really really hard trying to pretend it will be an even game, what does the need of hype I guess.
i think Doku, foden and charki will make a huge difference and our team valverde, vinicius and bellingham cannot do what charki foden and dok are able to do. this is where the true difference is. I hope this strom passes without too much damage.
Alonso last dance.
Forget sofascore points. Open up own eyes. How many penalty kicks Madrid was donated in LaLiga.
Real Circus depends on penalty kicks.
STAY Xabi, stay!
As a real Madrid fan we have 5% chance also mbappe is not playing
Mbappe scores a lot of goals but he is the reasons the midfield and others front player under performing. He does not pressing but he goes midfield to collect ball which no need , he always on the left side where he almost clash with Vini,
Mbappe is not a natural striker so when someone cross , he is not even in the box.
So he scores a lot of goals but he destroy the eco system of the team.
Madrid 3-1 win simple is that"
All these sofa score pundits🤦🏻♂️ the kind of stats they used to say bellingham is better than pedri😂
Guardiola will destroy them 😂
you forget to mention that the league is not same difficulty in the statistics
The statistics doesn’t really show the truth when you actually watch football. It only really shows how bad the La liga is in reality.
Because the eye test shows you how bad Madrid are and its league is.
Mbappe is a massive part of the problem he’s not a striker and Jude isn’t a 10 either. Too many players playing out of position and not playing like a team. But the stats on paper will make out those players are the best…
It's crazy how many penalties Real Madrid are getting. Still they have just won 1/5 last games.
Manchester city are favorites. Real Madrid are home so of course they have a chance. Manchester City have the best form by far.
Such a weird thumbnail
Even when Haaland doesn't score, he contributes a lot, including defending against set pieces
This shows why stats are important but they won't tell you the full story.

Mbappe also plays in a very shitty league remember that
I like the statistics but the one big problem is that they don't factor in the strength of the leagues each team plays in. Even more than most years, LaLiga teams are performing very poorly this season, and I think that should be considered when comparing the two teams head to head. Yes, Real Madrid score slightly more goals per game, but the teams they play against in league are also weaker than premier league teams.
sad that Xabi will get sacked
Mbappe gets a penalty every alternate game😂
Crazy how similar the two clubs stats are. I'll be damned if I'd bet on this game.
This is great show. Thanks guys
Well I’m a Real Madrid so I want them to win but overall they’re not doing good at all right now but neither is city even tho I would prob say they’re doing a little bit better but both arent doing the best of best they can but i say it’s a 50/50 only because you never know what to expect in the UCL 🎉🎉🎉 RM 🤬🤬🤬😎😎😎
Real Madrid are poo poo. They also play in a terrible league. So they are desperate to do well in ucl as that's the only way they can win a trophy that matters
With Xabi Alonso under huge pressure, will Real Madrid crumble or rise like a phoenix against Manchester City? They clearly have the quality according to the numbers. 📊⚪
Man City are definitely favorites coming into this, they have regained form and have been catching up to Arsenal. Real Madrid are going to struggle not only because there is an injury crisis especially in defense, the players are acting out especially when Real got three red cards and will be screwed again in the upcoming La Liga match, and with reports that Xabi will be sacked it doesn’t look good for los blancos
