Real Madrid – Manchester City. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On December 10, the match of the 6th round of the main round of the Champions League will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, in which Real Madrid will meet with Manchester City. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Real Madrid

The team six months ago, against the background of failures in the dispute with Barcelona, ​​changed the coach: taking advantage of the invitations from the Brazilian national team, Ancelotti was sent there and Xabi Alonso was returned. The former midfielder did not start in the best way, losing to PSG in the club world championship in the summer. But then there was a good start to the new season – both in the Premier League, where, in particular, they beat Barcelona, ​​and in the Champions League.

Everything took a turn for the worse in November. Here is the defeat of Liverpool, and a series of misfires in the domestic arena, which cost the leadership in the current table. The mentor, who spoiled relations not only with Vinicius Junior, but also with other wards, began to teeter on the verge of resignation. It would seem that in the key match, last week, they defeated the old enemy, Athletic. But immediately after this 0:3 at home they conceded to Celta!

Manchester City

Last season, the club suddenly gave up sharply. So, in the end, it was possible to avoid a complete failure – they finished in third place in the Premier League. However, the impression was again spoiled by the defeat in the cup final and early exit from the club world championship. And even after the summer break, in August, they lost to Tottenham and Brighton in a row. But now, after three consecutive victories, in the Premier League it was possible to get as close as possible to the leader, Arsenal – the gap has been reduced to two points at the moment!

In the Champions League, the English are generally not bad, but unstable. We managed to beat Napoli, Villarreal and Borussia Dortmund. But at the same time, Monaco was allowed to break the tie due to a penalty in the 90th minute. And in the last round, even at home, they lost to Bayer 0:2.

Statistics of personal meetings

In 2024, after a pair of draws, Lunin won the post-match penalty shootout. In February, the Spaniards already won both matches in regular time.
