At 4:00 am on February 12, Beijing time, the Champions League elimination play-off will usher in a focus showdown, Manchester City is at home against Real Madrid. The two teams are old rivals in the Champions League for the past few seasons, but the situation is slightly different this season. Both sides are in a low period, the defensive line appears weak, Haaland and Mbappe who can save the Lord, may become the key to this game. From the current data given by the official competition, Manchester City has greater support at home, or a 2-1 victory. Manchester City have not had a good season in the Champions League, beating Brugge 3-1 at home in the final round to earn a place in the elimination play-offs. So far, the team in the Champions League stage of 8 rounds of games, only 3 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, 18 goals conceded 14 goals. At the same time, they also performed poorly in the Premier League, the first 24 rounds of games, they only achieved 12 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, has been squeezed out of the top four in the Premier League. At present, the Blue Moon is the top seven teams in the table conceded the most goals, such a poor performance of the team, coach Guardiola has to face the two-front redemption pressure.
The good news is that the team's front line came with good news, Haaland's recent state has picked up, and he has contributed 7 goals in the last 8 games, sweeping away the previous haze. At the same time, there is also a good condition of Foden on the front line, and the new aid Malmuche introduced just in the winter window, their play in this game will directly determine the success or failure of the team. Manchester City has won a wave of 4 consecutive wins in the last 4 matches at home, and has lost 3 goals in the past 18 goals, and the home performance is worth looking forward to.
Real Madrid's performance this season is not ideal, the first eight rounds of the Champions League this season only scored 5 wins and 3 losses, 20 goals conceded 12 goals. As the team with the most Champions League titles, the Galacticos did not even qualify directly for the last 16 and needed to compete through the elimination play-off. The team fell into such a situation, largely related to the weak defensive line, but it is not the lack of the ability of the team's defensive line, but too many injuries. According to the latest news, the team has another main defender Vazquez injured, so far the team's back line has 5 main injuries, which means that the coach Ancelotti is likely to let the midfield of Zuameni and Valverde to guest defenders, obviously such a back line is not reliable enough.
Due to the lack of defensive line, the team's front line is particularly important, this season Mbappe to help Real Madrid's counter-attack efficiency become more efficient, the sprint speed of the French super run may be the best solution to crack Manchester City's high defensive line. In the past encounters between the two sides, Manchester City has won 4 wins, drawn 3 and lost 1 in the past 8 games against Real Madrid, scoring 18 goals and losing 12 goals, occupying a psychological advantage. The two sides have been engaged in Manchester City's home ground for nearly 6 times, and the blue Moon has achieved an unbeaten record of 3 wins, 3 draws, 12 goals lost 6 goals, and the advantages of Manchester City are obvious.
