Part 4/8:
The highlight of the knockout stage is undeniably the matchup between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Historically, these two heavyweight clubs have faced off numerous times in high-stakes situations, yet this year’s draw has made for an intense and dramatic storyline. City scraped through the league phase, a fact that has led them to meet Real Madrid earlier than expected. The clash is anticipated as both clubs feature players potentially vying for the Ballon d'Or, notably Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. Over two legs, this matchup promises to deliver fireworks, as both teams struggle with defensive issues yet possess immense attacking talent.
