Esteemed Kompany host Steven Mcinerney reacts to yesterday’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw. The European champions will face against Real Madrid in a mouth-watering quarter-final tie next month.
It will be the third time in three seasons that the two teams have faced off in the knockout stage of the Champions League. Real Madrid eliminated City in the semi-final of the 2022 competition, and Pep Guardiola’s side returned the favour last season. The two teams know each other well, which sets the scene for another blockbuster tie between the teams.
Real Madrid should hold no fears for the European champions. They are a formidable opponent and can beat anyone on their day. But Manchester City conquered Carlo Ancelotti’s side in emphatic fashion en route to their famous Champions League victory a season ago. With that in mind, the world champions will approach the quarter-final tie with no fear of their illustrious opponent.
