The sides played out a 3-3 thriller in the first leg last week. City have won their last three home matches vs Los Blancos, including 4-0 last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-man-city-form\"><span class=\"green\">Man City Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>City have 20 wins in their last 24 matches and just one loss in 37 fixtures. They have drawn three of their last seven fixtures. A 1-1 draw at Liverpool saw them outplayed in the second half. A 2-0 home win over Newcastle followed in the FA Cup before a very tight 0-0 home draw vs Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guardiola\u2019s team made light work of Aston Villa in a 4-1 win and then won 4-2 at Crystal Palace. The first leg six days ago saw a 3-3 draw in Madrid as City netted three long-range shots. On Saturday, a 5-1 home win vs Luton saw 4.32 xG produced and outshooting the Hatters 37-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/champions-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: UCL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-man-city-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Man City Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pep Guardiola only had one injury doubt. John Stones has some niggles but should be fit to play this one. Kyle Walker is back and is set to start whilst Nathan Ake is competing with Josko Gvardiol for the left-back role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku are fighting for one spot. Kevin De Bruyne is hoping to be selected after playing no minutes in the first leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-man-city-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Man City Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>City\u2019s title challenge was boosted by both rivals losing on Sunday. They will feel like another treble is possible this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motivation for this match is very high. They will hope to repeat last season\u2019s incredible performance to win 4-0 at home vs Los Blancos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/champions-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: UCL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-madrid-form\"><span class=\"green\">Real Madrid Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Blancos are heading for the La Liga title and have been beaten just twice in all competitions this season. A 1-1 home draw vs RB Leipzig sealed a spot in the quarter-finals, 2-1 on aggregate. Convincing victories came next, 4-0 at home vs Celta Vigo and 4-2 away at Osasuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao saw just 0.27 xG allowed to their opponents. Last week\u2019s 3-3 draw vs Man City saw Los Blancos lead 2-1 and then trailed 3-2 in the match. On Saturday, a heavily-rotated Real Madrid won 1-0 at Mallorca with nine shots on target produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-madrid-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Real Madrid Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ancelotti remains without injured goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender David Alaba. Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni played in defence in the first leg but is suspended for this one. Nacho is set to start in his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eder Militao has returned after knee surgery but it would be a risk for him to start this match. Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. were given partial or full rests over the weekend and will return fully fresh for this key clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/champions-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: UCL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-madrid-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Real Madrid Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Madrid will regret not winning this first leg.
