While I am supporting my team to go through, Real Madrid fans should not underestimate Manchester City. Especially with the latest defensive injuries of Rudiger and Vazquez.
Rudiger is more of a miss than Vazquez tbh
@@kevinc7128rudiger has been as equally as trash
Nah, I think the front 3 of Real will hurt Man City. Won't be suprised if Real win at Etihad.
He’s playing Valverde at rb we’re fine, Lucas Vasquez at rb is negative a player
Rudiger tamed Haaland the last time, they just need to find how to do that without drawing penalty. Ascensio might be the answer, not sure because of his experience deficit.
Both teams are terrible defensively this season. Can't wait for this game😂
It will come down to who scores more, it might be close 3-2 .
Real have always been bad at defending, always making comebacks even in the early 2010s. But they get things done, football heritage
4-0 football heritage 😂@@James-bb7ix
@@James-bb7ix not this time, haaland will score at least 3 , without rudiger breathing down his neck
@@marem3038it always comes down to who scores more bud
Probably first time in a long time City is considered underdogs. Hopefully this works to our advantage.
Its more closer then people realise cause Madrid defence is depleted
@@ppate8 They have Mbappe and Vini...no one cares about defence lol😂
@ It matters when you have brain dead Mendy and a make shift centre back pairing
Man city can pull a surprise against Madrid even though they are struggling this season
they may do it
Thanks to all the injuries that madrid have
Yeah in these big stake games form and rhythm goes out of the window, it boils down to who wants it more and considering the league position of Man City they would want to have a statement victory especially at their home ground.
The best Madrid can do is sneak in a draw 🙏🙏
@@shanawazali9742 First try to beat Leyton Orient by more than 1 goal and then talk, YOU DIDNT EVEN REST PLAYERS
Not with their shitty defense and tired midfield..Atleti had it rough in the 2nd half even with their low block.
I'm a madrid fan and the way both teams are playing this season , it will be an El Ṣ̌hiteco
😂
As a Madrid fan, spot on bro 😂😂😂
That's a stretch. Madrid have not been great but they've not been as bad as city. City have crumbled completely while Madrid have just had tactical issues.
😂😂 this hurt but it’s true hala Madrid
no, that is wrong
I tell you right now, they're going to park the bus vs city
As a barca fan city for the win
woah so surprising
wooah really, like the two fanbases arent the same people
You ainr no danm barca fan at which point are we cheering for danm epl u wasteman
As a barca fan bring it home to 🇪🇸 spain
What a shocker 😮😂
Every one is writing man city off city on a good day will embarrass Madrid
i agree
Meanwhile Haaland jumping up and down for Rudiger being out lol
He needs to bring the 2023/24 szn haaland from today till end of szn
@@truhjay7891 Naaah, i prefer 2022/2023 season Haaland in the treble year
@@truhjay7891 Vini 🕺 because Walker is gone.😉
I agree with Jan Aage Fjørtoft.
I think also Manchester City will win with many goals today also !
It will not be a surprise if only Haaland scored 2-3 goals today.
Who do you think will win tmrw? Am going for city
Man city...just. Haaland can get a hattrick if he bosses Madrid week defense but still not 100 percent sure.😅
City will win tomorrow. However Madrid will go through in second leg
@@kkunited1 This is what i also Think.
Draw tomorrow and Madrid wins 3-1 in Bernabeu
Am a city fan... But I think RMA will win both game's... City has onlywon one game against a big team and that's Chelsea all games soo... Let's wait and see
I think this game is about 50-50. Real Madrid is going into this match without defenders, while Man City is in good shape at the moment with strong defenders and attackers. However, they have some issues in midfield.
City might be vulnerable in defense too, esp at RB..They might be forced to double up on Vini leaving spaces for Mbappe, Jude and Rodrygo to capitalize.
Tomorrow Manchester city 3-1 Madrid 😂
City’s usual score ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Vazquez is out too for this one so madrid will have a makeshift RB. City should target that side with savinho/doku and i feel they might win this one.
💙Man City 💙
City 💙
it's time for city don't spoll the fun
City just Flick (get it hansi flick) the switch and go full 2nd leg 2023 vs madrid mode where you beat them 4-0 and humiliate them
Madrid owns the ucl no matter the humiliation they always end up winning at the end
@@sheinkenamo4015a good manager could easily dismantle real at this point. Same applies to City too..
Not sure how u guys make real favorite in this tie? Man City have been poor this season but almost Real Madrid's whole defense is injured & players r playing out of their positions. Not sure how does this make them favorites. I think people r making real favorite based on history, not current situation.
Score will be 3-2 in either team's favourite
man city will go through ...book it
It will take a miracle for City to pass Real Madrid. People are talking about how bad Real Madrid are because how they lost to Barca but forget they're still on the top of Laliga, scoring more goals and conceding much less than City, not to say City's confidence and team spirit is ice cold.
City too where at one point undefeated
Real only won vs lower blocks in laliga. Against better ones they lost or drew. 😂
They wouldn’t be on top if not for barcas mistakes against lower blocks.
The only bigger team real won against is dortmund.
@@yoone4830you forgot Atalanta
Having been observing the match ups between those two for the last couple of years i understand now that It doesn't matter how they are doing or what they are doing. Its just the way the mangaers tend to react to this situation every year sums up those ties. I doubt Madrid will have a good time with this match. Its just a feeling(or rather a trend) they might even lose alternatively each year.
La liga is pretty much farmers league outside top 5.6 teams
Jan is absolute melon. Not because of his prediction but how he got to it. Criticizing Madrid's defense without mentioning how bad City are defensively, then bringing up Atleti who do nothing but defend and claiming because Madrid couldn't beat them they won't be able to get past City. How does this guy have a job as a pundit?
C'mon City! 🩵

Will be a high scoring game
There is no big Madrid fan than Alex Kirkland.
Guardiola has to call fix how to go through 😂😂
as a neutral I still back man city to win
The thing with City, all the evidence is there they’re simply not very good. They win a couple games in a row and get battered by PSG. They go 5-6 games without losing in the league and get battered by Arsenal. As inconsistent as Real have been, they’re surely better than teams like Spurs and Sporting that both put 4 past City. And nothing much has changed with City where it matters. Pep is still employing the same tactics, the midfield still has no legs, and the attackers are still inconsistent. I hate to say it and hope that I’m wrong, but it’s hard imagining Real not scoring 5-6 goals on aggregate.
Due to their defensive flaws I predict over 2.5 first half (bet on that yalls) and 5 3 finish in favor of City then 2nd leg 2:1 in favor of madrid
Man city not in a good shape but can see them going through
Mancity will give their 110% for UCL since their chance in EPL is too slim
Whoever Pep selects as his RB will make or marr this match
Manchester city have like 20+ outfield players in their squad. Sure they have 1 ACL but that is it. They then went and spent 180m. Madrid have like 5 defenders out of the back line at present
As city fan it will be a miracle if city will win tomorrow
50/50. Both teams are playing playoffs for a reason. How everyone went for Madrid looks more like history based nothing to with current form.
Theoratically City should win given Real Madrid’s injury issue of most of their defenders. City is the favorite but I hope Real Madrid make a surprise.
I have a sneaky feeling city will raise their game against Madrid tomorrow and win. However Madrid will advance in the second leg comfortably.
That's a prerequisite.. no guarantee however still they could win against RMA but if they don't raise their game then there would be annihilation embarassment and drubbing
City 1 Madrid 1
First half 0-0
Full time 1-1
Goal Kylian
Goal Halland
i only wanted Rudiger to be fit .....now i am not sure wat will happen
I’m a Barcity fan
As a Liverpool supporter, I wish City wins & advances🤞 But I don’t think so.
RM always uses black magic to win the CL 😒
I'm a Barcelona fan, I hope city will win. Visca barça ❤💙
At least your honest
Most Barca fans won’t admit they jumped the Bandwagon for Man city when they was trash
Now that Barca are in form they back home
I’m a Barca fan and I am jealous of Real Madrid because they have 15 champions league cups! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆😂😂
@@thatfifaguy8399 Barcelona is the club of my heart. I don't want to see Real Madrid happy.
@@thatfifaguy8399stop with dat nice shi Barca k, dembele putting yall in da spliff
@@sarjonjie6056said no Barca fan ever
Pedri puck pellingham 😂😂😂
Underestimate man city at your own peril
Jan is too biased towards City because of Haaland
Why didnt Madrid sign 2 CBs or Loan in some players in January? 🤔🤔🤔
High scoring game, Over 3 goals..Good betting payout 😃😃
LOVE EACH OTHER✝️❤️‼️‼️‼️☦️
ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN
i love espn fc
ESPN gassing up bellingham as if he's prime Iniesta..😂😂😂😂
Real madrid will do the work done in 1st leg
Madrid is winning. City are too shaky. Over 2 legs.
If city keep the ball and play possession football their gona get cooked by a vicious counter attacks! Pep must have a different approach
In your dreams but not in reality
City are not playing well but they are still the 2nd best team in the world behind Real Madrid and the winners of this one will win the C.L.
Probably the worst football knowledge in the world right here
The second best team is either Liverpool or Barcelona. Manchester City's legacy ranking has come to an end.😂😂
@@roshan_a_ that's what they said about Liverpool last season with the injuries.. Now look at Liverpool.
Wait until City overcome the injuries next season.
My Bet is (i) City can win in Manchester, but (ii) will lose over 2 legs
Jan will always back City with Haaland in their. he’s a City groupie
No shame player
Not under masting city at all this could go the other way
Now this is perfect time for vini mbappe to show the world they're best in the world 🌎🌎🌎🎉
Goals in 2025:
Eric Garcia - 3
Monkeynicius - 1
😂😂😂
Vini has been horrible
@@CircumNet he will be champions league top scorer by the next round. Proof is in the stats.
The winners of this will go on and win the C.L.
Probably true. Unless Madrid meet Barca.
No way
City will win 4:1 you hear it here first
Come on boys you aren't not able to beat Atletico Madrid at your home ground and think you would beat City at their home ground 😂😂😂
I m Barca through and through...but Madrid will will at least 5-0 ...looking at the current city
3-2 for man city no problem we will see 2nd leg 😊..
Who cares about what Jan thinks 😂
2 many City fans now in
America 🇺🇸
Brazil 🇧🇷
Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Egypt 🇪🇬
Just Egypt 🇪🇬 alone is over Million Cityzens after Marmoush 2 City 🌃
There is no way City has more fans in Brazil
2 between all those countries yes 😂

@@rajatsingh5348 the new Brazil 🇧🇷 sexy 1 not ur ghetto trash 🗑️ side‼️🙄😆
Espn prediction 😂
We are terrible Madrid has a better chance of putting 4 behind us 😢
We will win 4sure
Man city winning !!!
No they won't the Goat Vallejo will pocket Halaand just like Rudi did🗿
😂😂😂😂
Real Madrid should win this
No defenders.
lose 😂
No way is man city winning no way.
I think City will shock Madrid 😂😂
3-1 Real Madrid. City are terrible.
I think City havechange to win!
I see Real Madrid going through.
zero chance for madrid to win, their defense is horrible, no toni kroos in the midfield exposed ancelotti's tactics, ceballos, tchouameni and bellingham can't get the job done in the middle, debruyne, silva, kovacic and gundogan are much better. if haaland and foden don't miss their chances ,it could end up with a heavy score in favor of man city, no ruidiger,vasquez,carvajal and alaba
@@liamsh6978 you have zero football knowledge 😂
RMA3 -1 MC
Nope! 🎉 As we can see, City is struggling, so we're going to win easily
I just wish Rodri was fit just so that ManCity and their wretched fans don’t have an excuse as to why they’re lose against Madrid
Since late October, City has been a mid, to lower table team. Would anybody be picking Spurs or West Ham to beat Real Madrid? Because thats basically what people picking City to knock out RM are doing. Stop looking at the kits...look at the long term form
I expect less from my team against real Madrid, however anything can happen today
Mbappe and madrid gonna beat city comfortably
really popular to be hatin on madrid these days lol. funny how quickly it can change. when in 2024 they won 5 trophies. only lost 1 game in the league. and now suddenly they're the worst team in the world lol. 😂
4-1 Madrid tomorrow
Real are the favourites, but anything can happen really, both teams are very unconvincing defensively to say the least.
As a Madridista I think we have the upper hand but not like 30 to 70% maybe 57-43! But Jan saying we could not win Atleti in Santiago Bernabeu is not a good example, we played really good against Atleti and Atleti is way better than City this season
Yeah, if Madrid was able to put a fight against atletico , then they are able to put a fight against man city. The good thing is that Madrid are first playing away (just to get the hardest part over with)
I say 3:3
Man city will beat real on today
City 😂😂😂
Without Rodri City was nothing
It is also the legacy between la liga and premjer league. Either Real have to prove la liga is better or City have to prove premier league is better...
Both teams are bad
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Talking about tracking back
This is ancelotti we’re talking about Madrid will be in a mid block or low block and play on the counter at the etihad
I respected Jan for being.from.Norway and a different look however he's a absolute Muppet for cheat code city without question or even logic
We win at the Etihad 2moro. City have no chance. I rather have tchoumeni then Rico 😂
Isn’t it obvious Madrid will win? Is it even an argument? It’s not like you’ve not seen city play all season? They’re nothing like they used to be. They’re the new spurs. Doesn’t take much to see that
Man city will have a massive serving of L handed to them by Real. If man city somehow manages a win then real will be absolutely done for this season. Also mbappe vs halland. That will be great.
