Real Madrid take on the visitors Manchester City in the first leg of Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 9th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
"Real Madrid" will be fighting in the final months of the season specifically for another success in the Champions League. The "Galacticos" have managed to achieve a respectable result this season. This was particularly important against the backdrop of an overall unsuccessful previous campaign when they essentially only won the cup. This time, ironically, the "royal club" lost to the "Cream" in the Copa del Rey back in winter. However, slightly earlier, the "royal club" won the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, the first trophy of the season. And there's little doubt that they will regain the Primera title – Barcelona is behind, and Girona predictably faltered in the second round. As a result, now they can fully focus all their efforts on the Champions League. By the way, the Spanish giants faced quite a few problems against RB Leipzig after confidently passing the group stage. But Lunin's saves and timely goals allowed them to win 1-0 in Germany and draw at home.

"Manchester City" will try to achieve a result at the level of 2023. The "Citizens" are the current treble holders. Additionally, they managed to win such international trophies as the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup for the first time in history. Yes, not everything goes smoothly, and Pep Guardiola's wards have already lost the FA Community Shield on penalties to Arsenal this season and quickly exited the League Cup. But Holland and company have managed to remain with decent chances of defending all the major trophies. They are leading in the Premier League, though facing extremely tough competition from both Liverpool and Arsenal. In the country's cup, they are already favorites in the semi-finals, although the main challenges lie ahead there. And in the Champions League, the holder of the "Big Ears" had no problems whatsoever, winning the group stage comfortably at a low gear and defeating Copenhagen in the round of 16 (twice 3-1).
To avoid delving too far into history, it's enough to recall the 2022 semi-final, with Real's comeback. The English side won both matches with a goal. As a result, the triumphant pair took the "Big Ears." Guardiola is even more highly regarded in the Spanish capital. We agree with this assessment, but we'll still use the "zero" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with 0.0 handicap.
