I expect Real to administer City a thorough, hard, deep penetrating bumming, get the win and a healthy lead to take back to the Bernabeu - As with ATletico last round, their best bet of progressing to the next stage is by beating City short of some key defenders on their own patch
Last meetings City had too much energy and legs for them, Ancelotti is a very streetwise manager who even made the current bitters relegation fodder look half decent and even had them pushing for top four at one stage, so you'd expect him to fair better than his predecessor
Teams:
City Ederson, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko, De Bacon, Rodri, Silva, Mahrez, Jesus, Foden
Real: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Valverde, Kroos, Modric, Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr
