Our sixth League Phase fixture of the campaign was a trip to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid, marking the 15th time that the clubs have faced each other in the prestigious competition.
City have lost their last two games against Real Madrid, suffering defeats home and away against them in last season’s play-off round, but City boss Pep Guardiola has a 48% win rate against Los Blancos in 27 meetings.
Kylian Mbappe has scored nine goals in five games in the Champions League this season, whilst City’s Erling Haaland has scored more goals in the competition than any other player since his debut campaign in 2019-20 (54).
So, who would come out on top in this heavyweight clash?
