Real Madrid vs Manchester City 09.05.2023
Real Madrid’s push for a 15th European triumph faces a big test in Tuesday’s first leg Champions League Semi Final against Manchester City. Real head into this tie on the back of their victory over Osasuna which earned them a first silverware this season. With Barcelona gaining ground at the La Liga summit, Real would be looking to clinch a season double by counting on their experience in overcoming hurdles like this one.
On their part, Manchester City are in the running to replicate Sir Alex Fergusson’s 1999 heroics when he clinched the league title, the FA Cup and the Champions League. Given that they are ahead on the league table and have also qualified for the FA Cup final, a domestic double might not be far away for the Citizens. However, clinching the ever-elusive UCL title would be a huge icing on the cake for Man City having dominated English football for the past few seasons. Hence, we expect a fierce contest from Pep’s men.
Considering Ancelotti’s tactical acumen and Pep Guardiola’s managerial prowess, this is certainly a mouthwatering clash with a lot at stake. Therefore, we are expecting both teams to thrill fans and neutrals with a thrilling game with at least 9 corners played.
