Manchester City vs Real Madrid

We all know that Manchester City has one big goal that is to win finally the Champions League that they never have done but year after year they are getting closer, last season they made the final but lost to Chelsea and now they have another chance to make the Final once again and personally I believe they will. Their journey in the elimination rounds have been solid, they beat Sporting by 5:0 where they relaxed and played control football and than they beat Atletico Madrid by 1:0 in a crazy elimination, Atletico Madrid played with a 5-5-0 tactic against them in the 1st leg and than on the road Atletico needed to win but still played an very defensive style even in the 2nd half Atletico had risked more and almost scored but overall Manchester City controlled that elimination too. For this game Manchester City will need to play without Cancelo who is suspended for the game and Stones and Walker are doubtful.

Seen Real Madrid here is kinda a surprise for me because if we look at their eliminations rounds they have no clue how they won those, against PSG they beat them 3:2 but in that elimination they got dominated during 150 minutes and than the last 30 minutes PSG literally choked and against Chelsea they beat them 5:4 in extra time, another crazy elimination, even Real Madrid beat Chelsea 3:1 on the road, Chelsea was the better team but Real Madrid was just super effective, in the 2nd leg Chelsea was 3:0 up on the road and controlling the game and than Real Madrid scores a late goal who takes the game to extra-time and than they scored another what gave them the access to the semi-finals, two eliminations where Real Madrid should lost both and the only reason why they are here is luck and of course Karim Benzema who has just been amazing. For this game Real Madrid is without Diaz, Hazard and Jovic. Alaba and Casemiro are doubtful but likely to play.

Will Real Madrid maintain their lucky stretch here, well, I doubt it because right now Manchester City is one of the two best teams in the world and their main goal is to win the Champions League and for that they need a nice result here and personally I believe they can make it happen, Manchester City will have the control of the ball pratically all the time because that how Real Madrid will approach this elimination, however, Manchester City attack has been balling lately and Real Madrid will not play like Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid will try to fight for the game so that will give more space for City to create better chances. I believe that this Manchester City team is too much for this version of Real Madrid and I don't see them getting lucky in this elimination like in the last two, I like Manchester City to win here and if you guys can bet on other handicap like the -1AH I see value on that bet too.

Good Luck
