Manchester City (4-2-3-1) faces Real Madrid (4-3-3) at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester in the second leg of round of 16 of UEFA Champions League 2019/20 on Friday 07 August 2020 at 21:00.
In the first leg played on 26 February 2020 Manchester City have beated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid (1-2). Meanwhile, Manchester City ended the English Premier League 2019/20 by losing a national championship title and finishing second. Manchester City have never won Champions League but since they defeatead in the first leg Real Madrid, the most successful club in the world, popular Citizens believe that this year they could go until the end and finally win a Champions League trophy.
Their task in the return match against Spanish team is quite clear, as they simply need to stay unbeaten. Their coach Josep Pep Guardiola will finally be in position to count on both of his best defenders, Aymeric Laporte and Cyle Walker, hoping it will good enough to improve their defensive line as an inferior part of the squad in this season. In this match Pep Guardiola will mostly rely on his extraordinary midfielders, playmaker Kevin de Bruyne (13 goals and 23 assists in Premier League 2019/20) and extremely dangerous left wing Raheem Sterling (20 goals and 6 assists in Premier League 2019/20) and right wing Riyad Mahrez (11 goals and 14 assists in Premier League 2019/20).
Manchester City's best scorer ever, Argentinian Sergio “Kun” Aguero (16 goals and 6 assists in Premier League 2019/20) will definitely miss this match due to a knee injury, and Brazilian Gabriel Jesus (5 goals and 2 assists in Champions League and 14 goals and 8 assists in Premier League 2019/20) will replace him at the forward position.
Since they suffered a lost in the first leg, Real Madrid have won the championship title in Spanish league, 34th in total. Popular Los Blancos are the most successful club in the world with 13 Champions League trophies.
Their task in the return match against English team is also quite clear, as they simply need to win. Their coach Zinedine Zidane already won Champions League once as a player and three times as a coach of Real Madrid. By winning the 4th Champions League he would overcome legendary managers Bob Paisley and Carlo Ancelotti and become a coach with the most Champions League trophies.
French coach won't be in position to use the captain and leader of the team, defender Sergio Ramos (2 goals in Champions League and 11 goals in La Liga Santander 2019/20) due to yellow cards suspension. It will be a huge problem since Ramos is one of the best defenders in the world and also one of the most dangerous in attack specially with head kicks.
In this match Real Madrid will mostly rely on forward Karim Benzema (21 goals and 8 assists in La Liga Santander 2019/20 and 4 goals and 2 assists in Champions League) who plays his best seasong ever. His main support should be attacking midfielder Eden Hazard, who suffered a lot of injuries in his first season in Madrid but now is recovered and expected to show why he is one of the best players in the world.
Real Madrid will travel in England with aim to win and continue their road to the Champions League Finals that will be held at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica in Portugal.
As we take a look to the all 5 matches where these two teams has faced each other, Real Madrid is leading with 2 victories, instead of Manchester City who has won once. There are also 2 draws.

This match should see plenty of goal chances by both sides as Real Madrid will try to attack from the start and score early, since they lost their first match against this rival. Manchester City are not specialist for defending tactics and they will try to score rather than defend.
Having said all that about these two teams, I would rather think that Real Madrid will win this match. So my final prediction is: 2
4-2-3-1

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
