After a really strong start to life under Xabi Alonso, the cracks are starting to show for Real Madrid as they come into this fixture having won only one of their last five league fixtures. On top of that, the last English side they faced in the UCL was against a struggling Liverpool side whom they lost 1-0 to. Since that game, Real Madrid have only narrowly escaped a massive upset at the hands of Greek giants, Olympiacos, thanks to the brilliance of Kylian Mbappe who joined a very elite club after netting all four goals in their 4-3 win.
Most recently, Real Madrid suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Celta Vigo thanks to two goals from Swedberg. Los Blancos now sit 2nd in La Liga, four points behind leaders, Barcelona. Alonso's side are however in a strong position in the UCL, sitting comfortably in the qualification places on 12 points from 5 games. Despite their wobbles, you have to go back over a year to the last time this Madrid side lost back to back games and as most know, you never rule out a Real Madrid side.
This game couldn't come at a better time for Manchester City. Pep's side will be full of momentum off the back of three wins in a row in the Premier League and if there's anyone in the world that knows how to cause Real Madrid pain when they're already down (except Lionel Messi) it's Pep Guardiola. In 27 matches against Real Madrid as a manager, Pep has won 13, drawn 6 and lost 8.
City will be relying on their stars to put together a performance that can nullify this Madrid side. With the likes of Phil Foden grabbing 6 goal involvements in his last 3 games and Erling Haaland only 8 goals short of his total tally from last season, the Citizens will be confident of hurting an already damaged Real Madrid side this Wednesday.
