PREDICTION
In the 2022 semi-finals, City narrowly defeated Madrid in a thrilling 4-3 encounter at the Etihad, only to face a dramatic loss in the subsequent second leg. However, the following season underscored the importance of playing the second leg at the Etihad, as City secured a draw in Madrid before dominating with a resounding 4-0 victory at home. Although Carlo Ancelotti anticipates a stronger performance from his team compared to their previous heavy defeat, City remain clear favourites.
