Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the most attractive duel, which many described as the anticipated final.
This is the 11th confrontation between two of the most powerful teams in the world, a match that on the last ten occasions favored the English: to date there have been four victories for the British, three for the Spanish and three draws.
The story began in the group stage of the 2012-2013 edition, with a 3-2 victory at the Bernabéu and a 1-1 draw at the Etihad. In 2015/2016 they met in the semifinals, with a goalless draw in the first leg and a 1-0 victory for Real Madrid, the year in which the Spanish won the final against Atlético.
The clash took place again in the round of 16 in the 2019-2020 season, with victory for Manchester City by 1-2 and 2-1 and then two semi-final matches: in 2021-2022 Madrid won 6-5 on aggregate (4-3 and 3-1). In 2022/2023 they tied 1 goal in the first leg and in the second leg Guardiola’s team beat 4-0. On both occasions the one who won the match ended up being champion.
Now they will meet in the quarterfinals of the 2023/2024 Champions League and everything remains to be said. Ancelotti vs Guardiola, all the stars on both sides and a reserved forecast. One more match that vindicates the tournament of tournaments, the one that paralyzes the world of football.
