What happened in the first leg?
The first leg was a pulsating affair, with both teams trading blows. Real Madrid took the lead through Rodrygo in the 14th minute, but Manchester City equalized through Bernardo Silva just two minutes later. Phil Foden then gave City the lead in the 29th minute, but Real Madrid hit back through Karim Benzema in the 33rd minute.
The second half was just as entertaining, with Real Madrid taking the lead again through Vinicius Junior in the 55th minute. However, Manchester City refused to give up and equalized for the third time through Riyad Mahrez in the 81st minute.
The match ended 3-3, leaving the tie finely poised heading into the second leg.
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Real Madrid will just edge it. They have a slight advantage from the first leg, and they are playing at home. Manchester City are a dangerous team, but I think Real Madrid's experience will be the difference.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Manchester City
