Manchester City vs Real Madrid live match time

The match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League will start tonight at 9:00 pm local time in Egypt and 10:00 pm Saudi Arabia time, at the Etihad Stadium this Wednesday.

Manchester City, the English champions, and Real Madrid

the Spanish champions with a record 14 titles, are set to face each other in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, also known as the “mother of all battles,” tomorrow, Wednesday, at the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich finds itself needing to overcome the obstacle of their English visitor, Arsenal, in an attempt to salvage their season.

The matchup at the Etihad Stadium will be similar to a final, as the two teams drew 3-3 in a fiery first leg match at the Santiago Bernabeu, leaving all possibilities open in the second leg, including extra time and penalties, as both teams have shown a high and close level of performance. Manchester City, led by Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, reversed a 1-2 deficit to a 3-2 lead in the first leg, before Uruguayan Federico Valverde saved Real Madrid from their first defeat in their last 28 home matches in all competitions with a spectacular goal 11 minutes before the end of regular time.

It is certain that the task will not be easy for Carlo Ancelotti’s men

against the English team, who have not been defeated in the competition for the past 22 matches, specifically since their loss to a Spanish giant 1-3 after extra time in May 2022 in the semifinals. They have also not lost at home in the competition for 30 matches, since 2018, and have not lost at home in 41 matches in various competitions since November 2022. The royal club is seeking revenge against City, who eliminated them from the semifinals last season after a 1-1 draw in Madrid in the first leg, before City achieved a resounding 4-0 victory in the second leg en route to their first-ever title. Guardiola always relies on his squad full of players, including Norwegian Erling Haaland, who has faced criticism recently for his lack of goals against Real Madrid in their last three matches.

On the other hand, Ancelotti hopes that Rodrygo, the Brazilian, can continue his scoring form against City, as he scored two goals in the victory over the English team during the semifinals of the competition last year, before scoring against them again last Tuesday. The match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League is scheduled to kick off at 22:00 Mecca Time (21:00 Cairo Time, 23:00 UAE Time) at the Etihad Stadium.

The match will be officiated by Italian referee Daniele Orsato. Bayern Munich holds onto a slim hope as they face Arsenal, who are struggling, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. After a 2-2 draw in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, the chances for both teams seem equal to continue their continental journey.

However, Bayern aims to not leave empty-handed after dominating the German league in the last 11 seasons, before officially losing the title to Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday, with five matches remaining in the season. As for Arsenal, their tragedies repeat themselves as the end of each season approaches, as they dramatically lost the lead in the domestic league to City. Although the battle for the title is still open, there is fear of a repeat of the scenario from last season when they lost it in the final stages to City as well after leading for long periods. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel aims to replicate the winning spirit of 2021 with Chelsea. Tuchel said, “We got the draw (in the first leg), so the

situation is clear: the winner qualifies.

We play at home, we need the kind of loud atmosphere from the fans, and we want the same determination, passion, and quality that we showed. If we have that, we will definitely qualify.” The match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League is scheduled to kick off at 22:00 Mecca Time (21:00 Cairo Time, 23:00 UAE Time) at the Allianz Arena.

Haaland the athlete to respond to the criticism directed at him and enhance his aspirations to win the Ballon d’Or

Manchester City is on the verge of achieving their second consecutive treble, but their Norwegian international striker, Erling Haaland, continues to face criticism for not performing at the same level as last season. Despite still being the team’s top scorer and the man relied upon to surpass Real Madrid in the Champions League second leg at “Etihad” stadium today, he has been receiving criticism. Manchester City, under the guidance of Spanish coach Josep Guardiola, is 12 games away from replicating last season’s success by winning the Champions League for the first time in their history, along with the English Premier League and the FA Cup.
Haaland played a prominent role in this achievement, scoring 52 goals in various competitions. This season, he has continued his goal-scoring exploits, scoring 31 goals in 38 games in different competitions. However, he has failed to score in the last three matches against Real Madrid and has been unable to find the back of the net in 13 of his last 20 games for both the club and the national team. The 23-year-old player has also faced criticism for staying in the penalty area, waiting for crosses, and not moving back much to receive the ball. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher and Sky Sports analyst described Haaland as not yet reaching a world-class level.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said, “When the Norwegian international is put under pressure, his overall performance becomes very modest, like that of fourth division players.” The Spanish media was just as critical after Haaland failed to score against Real Madrid for the second consecutive year at Santiago Bernabeu in the thrilling first leg, which ended in a 3-3 draw last week. The sports newspaper “Marca” described his performance as “helpless,” while “AS” described him as “hopeless” in his attempts to outdo German defender Antonio Rudiger.
Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, will not make the same mistake of excluding Rudiger in the second leg, as he did last season, after realizing the danger posed by the Norwegian at Bernabeu. Guardiola strongly defended Haaland, highlighting his impressive record in the past two seasons with the club, contributing to Manchester City’s victories in the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, and expressing his ambition for more titles. Manchester City is currently leading the league by two points with six games remaining in the season and will face Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals on Saturday.
If Haaland helps the team retain the Champions League, it may enhance his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or for the best player in the world. Guardiola, when asked about Haaland’s critics, said, “The goal is not the Ballon d’Or, the goal is to win titles, and we have done that. Would we have won five titles last year without him?” Guardiola also believes that Haaland played a crucial role in the first leg against Real Madrid in Madrid, as the attention on him created spaces for Phil Foden and Luka Modric on the edge of the penalty area, resulting in spectacular shots. He added, “He helps us create more space on the field, and his contribution has been exceptional since he arrived last season. I saw it on his face and heard what he said after the match; he was very happy in Madrid.”
Manchester City’s result in the Spanish capital was not extraordinary, as it had been in their high-scoring away victories, but they are now poised to reach the semifinals for the fourth consecutive time due to their intimidating record at home. The reigning champions have not lost in 30 Champions League games at the Etihad Stadium since 2018 and have not lost in 41 games at home in all competitions since November 2022. Guardiola said, “There is not a single minute in which we will not do what we need to do. Be a humble team, a united team, and try to attack them. We believe we are capable of doing that.”

With what strategy will Real Madrid enter the response round against Manchester City?

After an exciting 3-3 draw with Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu, Carlo Ancelotti’s team travels to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, aiming to achieve victory and get closer to adding another title to their record-breaking 14 championships in the competition.
The loss would be a major blow, even if they are on their way to winning the Spanish league this season. Will Éder Militão return to strengthen Real Madrid’s defense? Will Jules Koundé silence those who doubted his performance in the first leg of the quarter-finals last week? Real Madrid writers Guillermo Ray and Mario Cortijana explore these main questions. Guillermo Ray said: “I am at Barajas Airport in Madrid, waiting to travel to Manchester. It is expected that around 3,000 Real Madrid fans will travel to support Ancelotti’s team at the Etihad Stadium.” Mario Cortijana said: “I went through the same experience last year in the second leg of the semi-finals, but perhaps it is best not to think about what happened after that.
Ferland Mendy saved Real Madrid with the third goal against City. Orellana Chumacero will also travel with the team, although he will not be able to play due to suspension (he received his third yellow card in the competition in the first leg against City). Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba stayed in Madrid to continue their recovery from their injuries, despite their desire to support their teammates at the Etihad.
” Chumacero scored the winning goal from a long distance against Real Mallorca last weekend, so how do you think his absence can affect things? Ray said: “Much more than we thought before the Saturday match.” Ray continued: “I thought that Militão would be available against Mallorca after recovering from his anterior cruciate ligament injury, but he only played in the 90th minute.

I understand that the Brazilian will not be able to start against City

with very little playing time since his return, which will affect Madrid’s defensive transitions. Unless there is a surprise, Ancelotti will have to resort to Nacho. The club captain performed well against Mallorca and made interventions to prevent goals, but the Italian doesn’t trust him much.” Cortijana responded: “Militão’s limited participation surprised some, as the Spanish media mentioned that he would start. Club sources – who, like all of us mentioned here, will remain anonymous to protect relationships – told me that Militão will not start at the Etihad.
It seems logical, as he does not have the competitive pace for such a tough match. Unless this is all a strategy to surprise City, it means that the center-back partnership will be Antonio Rudiger and Nacho, with Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy in the right-back and left-back positions.” Ray added: “In the second leg before the final last year, Ancelotti risked playing Édouard Camavinga as a left-back when Ferland Mendy was injured – which affected the team as he wasn’t fully ready. However, Carvajal and Mendy are fully prepared and played well in the first leg. Furthermore, the last time City lost at home in the Champions League was in September 2018… when Mendy started in Lyon’s 2-1 win against his former club.
” Cortijana said: “Another mistake Ancelotti made last year was the center-back pairing. Rudiger was in a better shape than David Alaba, but the Austrian started alongside Militão. Rudiger impressed in the last two matches against City and enjoyed the battle with Erling Haaland. The Norwegian failed to score in those three matches against Los Blancos, but it’s hard to imagine him without goals in four important matches.
” Another key player in this sense is goalkeeper André Lunin. He recovered from the early mistake in the first leg when he allowed Bernardo Silva to score from a free kick in the second minute, but he is not accustomed to making this kind of mistake. Ray said: “It is not expected to make any changes in the midfield since the first leg – when Camavinga and Toni Kroos played fixed roles in Madrid’s 4-4-2 plan, with Federico Valverde and Bellingham as midfielders when the team defended. City started with deeper midfielders, Rodri and Mateo Kovacic, in that match, while they usually play with one midfielder. According to Ancelotti’s coaching staff, this means that Real Madrid was not completely drowned between the lines.”

They also enjoyed success in attack as Rodrigo drifted to the left

Vinicius Junior moved into the middle, and Bellingham played as a playmaker. It is expected that this system will be repeated on Wednesday night,” Ray added. Cortijana responded: “Rodrigo playing on the left was something new in the first leg, and I have a feeling that Ancelotti will do the same thing again with the Brazilian. The conversations I had at the Valdebebas training ground in Madrid highlighted what I mentioned: their satisfaction with the style of play in the first leg.” “Ancelotti asked his players to show courage and bravery before that match, and the Italian believes that it resonated in the dressing room.
It also seems that Rodrigo is in a better shape than Bellingham, even if those at the club are not interested in the English player’s performance,” Cortijana continued. Ray concluded: “There is a saying from Ancelotti that sums up how Real Madrid sees Bellingham’s situation. When asked if the midfielder’s level dropped in the first leg of the quarter-finals in the same way Kylian Mbappe or Haaland did, the Italian issued a warning. He said, ‘Calm down, calm down.’ ‘Perhaps they did not give their best in the first leg, but now there are more matches to come… be cautious.'” Cortijana said: “As mentioned earlier, those at the Valdebebas say that Bellingham plays a less protagonist role compared to earlier in the season, but they are not worried and emphasize the importance of his off-the-ball work against City.
” Ray added: “A defeat like last year would cause a lot of damage, although I don’t think it will change the club’s plans at all.” Ray continued: “As you mentioned, Real Madrid is leading by eight points over Barcelona in the Spanish league, and let’s not forget that the Italian agreed to extend his contract until 2026 last December.” Cortijana emphasized: “As mentioned before, the club staff say they plan for the medium and long term, without getting carried away by immediate results. The Spanish league is about to end, and Ancelotti’s team also won the Spanish Super Cup in January in Saudi Arabia, defeating Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals and crushing Barcelona in the final.” Ray concluded: “But winning against City at the Etihad will be a big statement, as they have never won at this stadium. It’s a first for everything.”

McManaman points out that Real Madrid do not have the same strength as Manchester City

In the context of the Champions League competitions, Kyle Walker highlighted the confrontation between his team, Manchester City, and its counterpart, Real Madrid, in a match that is considered one of the most prominent.

Sky Blues are the favourites Real Madrid vs Manchester City live

Former England international Steve McManaman has spoken about the much-anticipated clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. McManaman, who played for both teams, Real Madrid and Manchester City, said that Pep Guardiola’s side are “most likely to progress” to the next round, after drawing the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu 3-3.

“Now it’s time for the real Champions League, this is the section where only the best teams survive,” he told the Mirror. “I’ve said before that I think Real Madrid need to score at least two goals at the Etihad to qualify.”

“Manchester City are the favourites to win, they are the defending champions and have been in excellent form recently, and have managed to regain their place at the top of the Premier League. But Real Madrid are expected to be stronger next year after signing Jude Bellingham. However, if you evaluate the entire squad, Real Madrid are not as strong as Manchester City,” he said. It is worth noting that the Sky Blues have not suffered a home defeat in European competition since 2018, which makes them favourites to face Real Madrid, who have conceded eight goals in two matches at the Etihad Stadium in 2022 and 2023 (4-3 and 4-0 respectively).

The next meeting between the two teams will be in the Champions League, with Manchester City facing Real Madrid on 17 April 2024 at 21:00. “Two years ago they scored four goals against Real Madrid (4-3), and last year they scored 4-0, so I think it will be a tough game again for Real Madrid, especially if you compare the two teams and take into account what happened in previous meetings,” McManaman concluded. Today’s Champions League clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid kicks off at 21:00, as does Bayern Munich and Arsenal at the same time.

After an exciting first encounter, Manchester City are set to host Real Madrid in the return leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at the Etihad Stadium.

After the exciting first leg, the English team Manchester City will meet again with its Spanish rival Real Madrid in the second leg match in the quarter-finals of the European Champions League, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at the Etihad Stadium.

Last week’s first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid saw the two European giants draw 3-3. It’s hard to predict which team will advance to the semi-finals to face the winner of the other tie between Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City live match data

It is a remarkable coincidence that Manchester City’s last two matches in the English Premier League saw them score six goals in each match, but they managed to win both occasions, beating Crystal Palace 4-2 ten days ago, and then playing against Luton Town and winning 5-1 at the end of last week.

Pep Guardiola’s side have moved to the top of the Premier League table with their latest win over Luton. The team took advantage of both Arsenal and Liverpool’s home slip-ups, allowing them to move two points clear of their closest rivals, Arsenal, with just five games remaining in the league.

Manchester City are unbeaten in 27 consecutive matches in all competitions since their shock defeat to Aston Villa in December. If they win on Wednesday they will equal the club’s record of 42 consecutive home games without defeat, a run dating back to 1921.

In turn, the Spanish team Real Madrid did not taste the bitterness of defeat in the European Champions League for the 2023-2024 season, and it is heading to the city of Manchester with an excellent performance, maintaining a full winning rate in four matches it played away from home in this tournament, noting that it won all of these matches by a single goal difference. The team also has a record of fifteen consecutive matches without a loss in various tournaments.

A unique goal from Aurelien Tchouameni – who was suspended for Wednesday’s game – was enough to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side a 1-0 win over home side Real Mallorca in La Liga last weekend, keeping them eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona with seven games remaining.

Real Madrid have only managed to advance in two of the ten knockout stages of the Champions League without winning the first leg at home. This happened against Manchester United in the 1999-2000 and 2012-2013 seasons.
