Real Madrid
The team won last season of the next ear, updating the record again. But now it looks far from solid, and not only in the European Cup – what is worth the defeat of Barcelona in the Super Cup, and a large number of settlements in the asterflies. As part of the Champions League, Carlo Acholotti’s wards were on the verge of catastrophe: after 5 first rounds, they won in Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund, the favorite lost both Lil and Liverpool with Milan.

Manchester City
The club spends the most difficult season. And it is not surprising that it was in January that he spent maximum money around the world – flight, Husunov, Marble and Nico Gonzalez cost more than 200 million. However, the main round of the British ended without newcomers, the usual clamp. And only in the extreme duel, with Bruges at home, having won a volitional victory, provided themselves with the right to play in the playoffs. Even there, unmotivated Belgians were allowed to score the first and lost the 1st half, but after the break they responded with three balls.
As a result, the nominal favorite squeezed in the next round, with 11 points and from 22nd place. Therefore, a difficult rival was waiting for him by default – and the Spanish Grand fell on the draw. Many people were mistaken again with him, and eventually lost.
Personal meetings
This is the fourth draw in a row, in which the playoffs intersect the favorites to the finals. In 2022, clubs exchanged home victories, after which Benzema sold a penalty in Extra-Tima. A year later, the British defeated his opponent after a draw in Spain. And in 2024, after a couple of draws, a series of penalty won Lunin.
Forecast
Bookmakers are waiting for a new victory for the Spanish Grand. But the British are not weaker in general, and Anchlotti will suit a draw. We expect that guests do not lose (2,04 coefficient).
