Where to watch Real Madrid vs Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League for free?
Real Madrid will host Manchester City in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff match on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid in a thrilling matchup prior to the round of 16.
The first leg at the Etihad stadium ended as another comeback win for the Los Blancos but the Citizens were not happy after such an outcome in a game, where they were ahead till the 85th minute of the game. The winner of this game will face either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the next round of the Champions League.
In the league’s front, Real Madrid is not in a great situation as they slipped to the second position after dropping points in the last two games against Atletico Madrid and Osasuna. Barcelona with their 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano climbed to the first position due to a better goal advantage. In the last three games, Madrid has not had a victory in the league, and it has not been good since the defeat 1-0 against Espanyol. With the lead gone, when it comes to European knockout games, Real Madrid has at least some precedent to fall back on. In the 39 times they have won the away first leg, they have only lost twice.
Speaking about the game at the pre-match conference, manager Carlo Ancelotti said, “It will be an entertaining, complicated and challenging game. We have tried to prepare well and we want to get the players back who can help us. We’re going to try to approach the game in the same way we did a week ago.” He also gave a good news for the fans stating that Antonio Rudiger will be available to start and Asencio’s position will depend on Federico Valverde’s fitness. He added, “Rüdiger can play from the start, Tchouameni as a pivot, and Asencio as a centre-back. We have to see how Valverde is because he trained today and is feeling good.”
On the other hand, Manchester City came into this game after a comfortable 4-0 win against Newcastle United in the Premier League. Within the first 35 minutes of the game, former Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush scored his first hat-trick for the club. Even if last week showed that their winter weaknesses have not completely disappeared, Guardiola’s team is at least still in charge of their top-four fate in England’s top division and is gradually beginning to resemble Manchester City once more. The five-in-a-row fantasy may be long gone.
Pep Guardiola at the press conference spoke about how he has learned from his previous experiences to be successful at the Bernabeu. He said, “You have to play with courage. You have to be yourself. You have to play with incredible courage and you have to play to win the game. The times we did well here, it was because we played to win the game.” He also spoke about what would be required to turn the tie around. He said, ” We have to make an almost perfect game obviously. The [first leg] result was not good, we have to attack and score goals.”
