      Real Madrid vs Man City prediction: Free betting tips, odds and Champions League preview for huge Bernabeu second leg

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY have to overcome a 3-2 deficit at Real Madrid on Wednesday if they want to progress in the Champions League.Pep Guardiola’s men conceded two sloppy goals late at the Etihad last week meaning their European ambitions rely on a big result at the Spanish giants.So SunSport have enlisted the help of their betting experts to preview the European showdown and select the best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses from our leading betting partners.Find The Sun’s betting publishing principles hereNew sign-up offersSunSport exclusivesReal Madrid vs Manchester City previewOn paper, it looks a huge task for Manchester City to overturn a deficit in Madrid this week.On the pitch, you just don’t know what side is going to turn up at the minute. Pep Guardiola’s men looked set to take a lead to Spain when heading into the final five minutes or so in front.To go on to lose the game is quite ridiculous but probably in tone with what City have produced in the past couple of months.They were really good on Saturday, for all that Newcastle just didn’t turn up at the Etihad again, so need to replicate that and more to progress. Their last visit to the Bernabeu was enthralling. A 3-3 draw in the quarter finals last year where they led, trailed, led again and were pegged back late on.Madrid have conceded in five of their last six home games, so City more than likely will get themselves on the scoresheet. It’s the defensive side that will worry supporters.First scorer and correct score predictionsCorrect score: 4-2 at 25/1 with Betfred – HEREFirst scorer: Vinicius Jr 11/2 with talkSPORT BET – HEREReal Madrid vs Man City latest oddsReal Madrid at 10/11 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.How to claim..William Hill £60 welcome bonusVisit the William Hill website HERE*Register an account using the Promo Code: T60Once your account is registered, click ‘opt in’ on the ‘Vegas Promotion’ pageDeposit a minimum of £10 in your main account to receive a £20 Vegas Bonus for use on Selected GamesThen place a bet with a minimum stake of £10 at odds of 1/2 or greater on any football marketOnce that’s settled, your account will be credited with £40 in free betsWilliam Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Real Madrid vs Man City predictions and tipsFrustrationIt looks like Antonio Rudiger is fit to return for the second leg having missed out in Manchester last week.His battles with Erling Haaland were crucial last year and he’s going to fancy getting the better of the Norwegian here.Haaland has been given it back to his opponents more and more in this recent run and that’s a tussle that could quite easily spill over in what’s sure to be a passionate contest.Goals aplentyThese sides have shared 17 goals in the last four fixtures between them in the Champions League.Given City’s defensive concerns, their best form of defence is likely attack.

      ‘Are you f***ing kidding me?’ – Ex-Chelsea ace John Obi Mikel in X-rated rant after ‘disaster’ Maresca interview

      by

      CHELSEA hero John Obi Mikel put his former club on full blast in a sensational rant after manager Enzo Maresca’s “disaster” interview.The Blues’ humiliating 3-0 loss at Brighton last Friday effectively ended any slim Premier League title hopes.Chelsea hero John Obi Mikel lashed out at his former clubCredit: GettyObi Mikel blasted Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca’s statement that he’s ‘ahead of schedule’Credit: GettyObi Mikel criticised Chelsea loanee Jadon Sancho’s performancesCredit: PAObi Mikel put Chelsea captain Reece James on full blast due to his leadershipCredit: AlamyThe West Londoners have now won a mere two out of their last nine Prem matches, losing four of them.The Italian tactician, though, stated before the loss to the Seagulls, who also eliminated his team from the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory the week before, that his side are in fact ahead of schedule in terms of progress.That is after the ex-Leicester boss was ordered to deliver Champions League football in two years after he took on the job in the summer. His team are now sixth in the table, one point away from fourth.But Obi Mikel, 37, refused to hold back on his brutal assessment of Maresca’s statement.Read More on ChelseaThe double Premier League winner, who also won four FA Cups and the Champions League during his 11-year stint with Chelsea, lasedh out by dropping a total of 18 F-bombs.Obi Mikel told The Obi One Podcast: “‘Who the f*** has told them that? Are you f***ing kidding me? This is Chelsea Football Club.”You can’t be ahead of the f***ing schedule, this is the f***ing Chelsea Football Club, no disrespect to Leicester where he’s coming from, this is f***ing Chelsea Football Club. We are a Champions League football club, that’s what we are. “He can’t come out and say if the club employ you, if they’ve told you that, no, mate. This is a Champions League football club. We’ve always been in the Champions League. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”I can swear to you right now I’ve never watched a f*** ng game in the Conference League. I’ve never watched it, I don’t care about it, that’s not who we are.”We are a Champions League football club. So for me, for him to come out and say we’re ahead of schedule, no you are not. We should be there. ‘Pressure shouldn’t be on the coach’ – Gary Neville slams Chelsea board for ‘unforgivable’ mistake”I think that comment that the manager made that we are not contenders to win the Premier League, that has got into the players’ heads and the whole thing since then has been a f***ing disaster. We have no clue what we’re doing.”Obi Mikel also targeted Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho, who has struggled to impress since moving to Stamford Bridge in the summer with an obligation to buy for a reported £23milion fee.Sancho had another impressive loan stint at Borussia Dortmund during the second half of last season but he has only managed two goals and six assists in 22 appearances with the Blues.Obi Mikel added: “I watched the games, the game against West Ham was even worse than the game against Brighton. Against Brighton there was no character, there was no intensity, there was no leaders on the pitch.”There was no one telling Jadon Sancho, ‘Sancho the first goal you should have tackled for that’. There was no one telling Sancho, ‘What the f*** are you doing’?  “He’s [Sancho] deceived us with a good couple of games, you know we thought, ‘Oh f***ing hell, now we’re getting this Jadon Sancho from Dortmund’. But he’s gone again. Chelsea ‘need a striker'”He’s disappeared off the grid. He takes the ball, he doesn’t go past people anymore, he doesn’t create chances anymore, you know he doesn’t help the team as much as he should be.”Paul Winstanley [sporting director] I know you watching, you’re listening please and Todd Boehly [co-controlling owner and chairman], please we need a striker.”Nicolas Jackson is a fantastic guy, fantastic striker but he needs help. It’s not just his form, not just his goalscoring, what happens when he gets injured and we’ve seen it here now and we’ve come into the crucial part of the season where we need to win games and we need get to win games.”They’re not bad players but they need to do more, they need leaders, they need somebody who’s going to hold them by the f***ng neck and say, ‘Listen, wake the f*** up mate’. You need a f***ing leader who is going to say, ‘Wake up, wake the f*** up’. “They are too soft. That’s what I mean. I know I keep going back to when we were at the club but that’s something that helped us. “When you’re not doing things right JT [John Terry] calls you in, goes to maybe meets you in the gym, maybe meets you by the pool area, and says, ‘Listen what’s happening you need to do more. The club needs you to do more because we win games here’.”That led to another brutal assessment of current Chelsea captain Reece James, who has endured a raft of injuries the last four years and has struggled to regain his former prowess when he’s on the pitch.Obi Mikel said: “Ah f*** that, no, you think Reece James is going to speak to Enzo Fernandez? No, I don’t see that happening. “Reece James needs to do more as a captain, you can only do more by your performances, by being on the pitch, showing leadership on the pitch. He’s been injured half of his career at Chelsea. “You can’t go and say to a player, ‘You know, you need to do more’. No, you need to be on the f***ing pitch. That’s a disaster if we fail to qualify for the Champions League. I will view this season as a massive, massive disaster.”December is not a f***ing time to drink red wine and have turkey. You can enjoy your Christmas but we knew back then that this is the test when you need to win the Premier League. “It’s not a holiday period. It’s never a holiday period. So to win two out of 10 [eight Premier League matches after Christmas] since then it’s a huge, huge disappointment. I just hope we find our way back. READ MORE SUN STORIES”Cole Palmer, his form has dipped a little bit but the guy can’t do everything alone. The pressure always should be on the owners. “They’ve bought this football club with the sole purpose of winning – not making profit. If you buy Chelsea Football Club and think you are here to make profit, no mate you can f*** off, you can f*** off. You need to win trophies. You can make your profit but you need to win trophies.” More

      Man City ready for face-off with Real Madrid over £85m ‘new Kevin de Bruyne’ transfer

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY are set to go head-to-head with rivals Real Madrid again this summer – in a battle for £85 million midfielder Florian Wirtz.The two old foes – who meet again in the Bernabeu on Wednesday – are both huge admirers of the Germany international.Manchester City are set to go after Bayer Leverkusen star Florian WirtzCity see Wirtz as the ideal long-term replacement for club legend Kevin De BruyneBayer Leverkusen’s star man, 21, is believed to be keen on a switch to the Spanish giants when he does leave his homeland.But Pep Guardiola and his bosses at the Etihad view him as an ideal long-term successor to Kevin De Bruyne.City began their rebuilding programme by splashing out more than £175 million on four new signings in January.That included defensive midfielder Nico Gonzalez and Saturday’s hat-trick hero Omar Marmoush who can play as a No 10 or out wide.READ MORE MAN CITY NEWSBut they know that De Bruyne, who turns 34 in the summer and is also out of contract around the same time, cannot go on forever.Guardiola admitted last week that two long-term injuries mean the brilliant Belgian is ‘not the same’ player he used to be.Homegrown England star Phil Foden will be eyeing the vacancy – but is also versatile enough to be used in a number of different positions.However they are also weighing up their options from outside the club – and Wirtz is among the candidates.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSHe has 27 goals and assists so far this season for Xabi Alonso’s men – and Leverkusen would love to tie him down to a new contract.His decision could well be impacted by his current coach – with the former Liverpool midfielder in the frame to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Madrid.’Pep Guardiola is stressed, man’ – Fans fear for Man City boss as Etihad legend spotted with fresh scratches on headBayern Munich – managed by City legend Vincent Kompany – could also enter the race for Wirtz.The youngster has formed a promising partnership with Jamal Musiala for the national team and the German league leaders would love to pair them together at club level too.Meanwhile City are due to welcome new £12.5 million signing Claudio Echeverri to the Etihad this week after he completed his international duty with Argentina Under 20s.The 19-year-old has been dubbed the ‘new Messi’ back in his homeland and arrives with a glowing reputation.He will link up with the first team squad so Guardiola can decide whether he is ready to challenge for a place – or if he should go out on loan next season.Pep and his squad will fly to Spain on Tuesday to prepare for their latest Champions League encounter with Madrid.The holders have a 3-2 lead following a dramatic late win at the Etihad – meaning City have it all to do if they are to avoid an early exit.But they did win at the Bernabeu five years ago – and still have hope they save themselves.Guardiola will make a check on stand-in skipper Erling Haaland who limped off late in the 4-0 win over Newcastle with a knee injury.READ MORE SUN STORIESHowever, the Norway international was snapped during a warm down session at the City Football Academy on Sunday and is expected to be named in the travelling party.This is the fifth time the two clubs have been drawn together in the competition in the last six seasons.Jude Bellingham scored a last-gasp winner at the Etihad last week More

It’s very different to a Premier League ball.“You have to adapt to that because it flies different.“When you touch it, the grip is very different as well, so you adapt to that.”And fans have used the news of a new Nike ball to poke fun at Arteta.Puma makes the ball for the Carabao Cup matchesOne joked on X: “Someone give it to Arteta and Arsenal to make sure it flies correctly.”A second said: “Please tell me Arteta has checked it first.”READ MORE SUN STORIESThe Prem has used Nike balls since 2000 but a contract dispute saw the decision to switch to Puma from next season in what was described as a “lucrative” deal.SunSport understands that an exact version of the Carabao Cup ball has already been developed and agreed as the new Prem model – despite the complaints by some managers about it this season.
