🥅 Both teams to score
- Manchester City have just one clean sheet in the Champions League this season.
- Both teams have scored in five of the last six games between these two sides – all in Champions League knockout matches.
🎯 Kevin De Bruyne to have 2+ shots on target
- Put in a brilliant performance against Crystal Palace, scoring twice prior to the first leg.
- He went off early at the weekend to allow him to preserve his energy for this game.
- De Bruyne had three shots on target at the Bernabéu last season, when Manchester City drew 1-1 in a semi-final first-leg encounter.
⚽ Jude Bellingham to score or assist 🔄️
- Constantly coming up big for Real Madrid this season, with 22 goals and 12 assists in 37 matches.

23/1 Man City v Real Madrid Punt
🏆 Man City to win
- Manchester City have won each of their last three home Champions League matches against Real Madrid, all of which have come since 2020.
- City have won 22 of their last 23 Champions League home matches. The exception was a scoreless draw against Sporting when they were already 5-0 up from the first leg in a 2021/22 last 16 encounter.
⚽ Over 3.5 goals
- Eight of Manchester City’s nine Champions League games this season have produced at least four goals. City have scored at least three goals in every fixture they have played.
- History of outrageously entertaining matches between these teams. There has been 23 goals in their last five fixtures.
🎯 Bernardo Silva to have 2+ shots on target
- Bernardo Silva continues to be Pep Guardiola’s go-to player on the big stage. He scored the opening goal in the first leg and is likely to get significant minutes here.
- In the first leg he had two shots on target at the Bernabéu. Only Phil Foden equalled him among Man City players.
- Silva had three shots on target against Real in the previous home meeting between the two sides, in which he also scored twice.
