UCL Playoff Round Including Manchester City v Real Madrid | The Champions League Show (EP. 88)

Billi (@SGPSoccer) covers 4 handpicked UCL Playoff ties, including Manchester City v Real Madrid. The Citizens are off the pace in the Premier League and barely made it through the first round of the Champions League. That’s led to Real getting a lot of backing for this visit to the Etihad, but the European champions have their own issues. The Spaniards have a lot of heavyweight talent, but their record in big games this season is an issue. Real have failed to win any of their clashes with La Liga’s top four, including a 4-0 home defeat to Barcelona. That heavy loss was followed by their 5-2 thumping at Barca’s hands in the Super Cup last month. Therefore, despite City’s low ebb, it’s easy to make a case for them causing problems for Real tonight.
