Real Madrid vs Man City preview
It’s the standout fixture of a rather uneventful Champions League so far.
The quarter finals will always bring together some tasty tussles but if you’d asked both Real Madrid and Manchester City, they’d have probably wanted to have avoided each other at this stage.
Current holders City are hitting their groove in all competitions and are rightly favourites to lift the trophy once again this term.
They’ve not lost since a 1-0 defeat at Villa Park at the start of December and navigated big fixtures with Liverpool and Arsenal recently without defeat.
These two met at the semis stage last season when City ran out 4-0 winners at home following a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.
Madrid will have almost full focus on this tie given their huge 12 point lead at the top of La Liga.
Their imperious form puts them in contention here but they’re very much underdogs in this tie.

Real Madrid vs Man City betting tips
Away win
Despite the incredible form of Real Madrid, they’ve not quite come up against a side as slick as this Manchester City one.
They left here with a draw last year and can go one better and head into the second leg with a lead.

Spanish shots
Back on home soil, we’re anticipating another big evening and big performance from Rodri in the City midfield.
He’s often come up trumps in the big fixtures – particularly in Europe – and is finding himself in more attacking situations too.
He has four shots on target from his last three games.

Phil yer boots
Pep Guardiola had the luxury of leaving out Phil Foden at the weekend as City beat Crystal Palace.
The frontrunner for Premier League POTY will come straight back in here and is expected to make his presence felt.
He managed four goals and three assists in the six group games which is a phenomenal return.
