Carlo Ancelotti’s side have achieved an amazing comeback against PSG in the round of 16 and the awakening after 0-3 against the defending title holders Chelsea in 1/4 finals.
However, a fortune cannot always be on the side of one team.
The negative fact for the hosts is that Real Madrid have never come back after losing the first leg in the Champions League semi-finals.
Meanwhile, City have won each of their last three UCL fixtures against Los Blancos.
In any case, Man City are the better side for now and should go through, but we expect another dramatic meeting.
Although the guests are favorites of this match, we choose the less risky bet from the combos section at Vbet, which covers “City’s double chance and both to score – yes’ with a high probability of success.
We think it will be a game of many chances. Both teams have a very attacking style, which helps to create more space for counter attacks.
To point out, 8 of Real Madrid’s previous 10 fixtures in UCL saw over 2.5 goals, while Cityzens have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 meetings against Los Blancos.
Teams played out a seven-goal thriller in their UCL semi-final first-leg tie at the Etihad Stadium.
De Bruyne’s opening goal after just 93 seconds was the quickest goal Cityzens have ever scored in the UCL. Although City dominated most of the game, Los Blancos managed to cut the disadvantage three times and end up losing by just 4-3.
Coming into this match, Real Madrid celebrated winning La Liga for the record 35th time, clinching the title with four matches to spare following Saturday’s 4-0 win against Espanyol at home.
They will be full of confidence and in a good mood heading into the second leg match.

On the other hand, Manchester City are traveling to Madrid with one goal advantage.
Cityzens were the better side in the first leg, as they overcame for the majority of the first leg. The advantage before the second match could be more if City players managed to use their goal attempts. Even though Pep Guardiola is frustrated with the tight margin of victory in the first match, this win moved him one step closer to being the first manager to knock Real Madrid out of the UEFA Champions League three times.
In addition, Man City are on a 14-match away unbeaten streak (W11 D3 L0) in all competitions. The last time when they lost away from home were on December 7th against RB Leipzig in the UCL group stage.
