THE CITY HAS EVERYTHING TO WIN
The forceful precedent that leaves Madrid without options to pass against City
Real Madrid has several precedents that 'complicate' their pass to the grand final in Istanbul. The meringues will visit Manchester City this Wednesday with the irony of not having history in their favor
The Champions League will define this Tuesday and Wednesday his two contingents for the big final of Istanbul. The Inter of Milan will receive to the AC Milan in Giuseppe Meazza with the series in favour after the 0-2 achieved in the gone, whereas the Real Madrid will have to visit to the Manchester City after equalising home (1-1) and leave the eliminatory more than open for both groups.
The City, with everything to his favour
However, there are several historical references that, ironically, leave to the merengues in disadvantage for the duel in front of the ones of Pep Guardiola. And it is that the white group never has won in the Etihad Stadium from his inauguration in July of 2002, something that can not be overlooked taking into account that they will need a good result to advance of phase.
Added to this, the last time that the City lost a party of Champions home went in September of 2018, when the Olympique Lyon of Bruno Genésio defeated them by 1-2 with Memphis Depay and Nabil Fekir like protagonists. In fact, this invicto of the 'citizens' inside the European competition extends to 25 meetings and situates like the third better series of the history, only by behind the 29 parties of the Bayern Munich and the 38 of the FC Barcelona.
Finally, the group directed by Carlo Ancelotti never has reached a final of League of Champions after equalising in the gone of the semifinals in Santiago Bernabéu. It will be necessary to see if the winning maximum of the championship attains to make history again when breaking these milestones in a turn that will spark between English and Spaniards.
