Date – December 10, 2025 .
Time – 8 pm.
The stage is set for the 15 th time clash between La Liga giants , Real Madrid of Spain and Manchester United of England , when the former welcomes the later at the Bernabau on Wednesday evening
Manager Xavi Alonso is under intense pressure to perform after a catastrophic outing last weekend when they lost to Celta Vigo while the Citizens , tr skss to the Spanish capital with their heads high after three match winning streak.
Presentky, the hosts , Los Blanco’s is four points behind Barcelona , with just two wins from their last seven games in all competitions , and with their first hike defeat this season on Sunday evening , Real Madrid have arguably hit crisis territory with reference to their high profile standards .
Their dismal outing against Celta Vigo last Sunday where, what could have gone wrong against Celta Vigo went wrong for Real Madrid, whose flat footed rear men ,with injury crisis was badly exposed on the night against Celta Vigo who had a field in destroying what was left of Los Blanco’s ,coupled with missed chances by their attackers , who spent 90+ minutes , throwing paper darts on a Celta Vigo shield , on a fairly tedious evening at the Bernabau.band no fewer than three players handed red cards on the Bernabau implosion .
With his record 13 wins out of 14 when he took over the reins as the Manager then down to two wins from his last 630 minutes of football in the La Liga ,Alonso s future at the Spanish capital right now is under the hammer as dire reports succeed alleged players discontent , though he is still in charge at the moment against the English opposition this night where the 15 time winners have gained 12 points against 15 points on offer .though with scrappy wins against Ilympiacos in Match Day five where a quadruple goals from Kylian Mbappe saved them from either an embarrassing defeat of outright loss to the Greek giants .
Real Madrid Head I to today’s cracker against City with a 100% home wins with 13 out of 14 games were won at home .What an intimidating record ahead of today’s clash .
If City goes to sleep at the Bernabau , they will have themselves to blame as Chelsea lost to Atalanta BC , Tuesday ,2-1 ,despite opening scoring in Bergamo .
The Citizens also have their own wrongs to right this night at the Bernabau , from a 2-0 humiliating defeat at the Etihad against Bundesliga giants , Bayern Lerverkusen with goals from Alejandro Grimaldi and Patrick Schick which rumpled a City’ s aero .dynamic tactical formation which has been untouched for long in the league phase match Day five /of this years champions league .
Manager, Pep Guardiola agreed to his faulty alterations where he made 10 changes in the loss to Bayer which keeps the Citizens from outright automatic round of 16 qualification as they file out against the Spanish giants .
With only 10 points from 15 on offer ,and nineth in the league table , they trail behind , the coveted eight place position by virtue of an inferior goal diffence and behind Chelsea , Sporting Lisbon and Borussia Dotmund , then results from Tuesdays matches may plunge them further down the table , other things being equal .
But their domestic brilliance in the English Premieehip League with three game winning sequence against Leeds United , and Fulham in multi goal thrillers before rough riding Black Cats , Sunderland , 3-0 on Saturday
.
Manchester City will avoid a three straight loss to Rela Madrid after last seasons 6-3 aggregate to Real Madrid ,with only one victory in their last seven visits to the Spanish Capital , with their last win in 2000 , 2-1 ., a win today away from home at the Bernabau will reverse an age long trend of losses to the English side .
Loaded with a crises ridden defence with series of injuries , Alonso s lot today will not change much as one of his main defenders, Eder Militao suffered a hamstring injury in their loss to Celta igo last weekend , and is ruled out in today’s block buster make it mar match in the league phase .
Other defenders will definitely have solace siting out in the dugout with Injuries of different forms , fellow defenders Trent Alex Arnoald , Dani Carvahl , Ferran Mendy ,wekcome Militao to the treatment room ,while Dean Huusjisen and David Alaba will not be available for today’s games due to ia long time .njury .
In the attack , French international goal poacher , Kylian Mbappe who have netted nine goals in this year’s champions league campaign will also not be available today with injury sustained due to leg problems .
Alonso will not be worried much as the suspended attackers in last La liga match , Alvaro Carreras and Fran Garcia will be legible to okay as their suspension is only valid in the domestic league .
The Citizens is well equipped in their back line with no injury worries except John Stones who did take part in their last win over the weekend agaijnst Sunderland ,due to injury all the same , it’s a near fully fit defensive contingent to the Bernabau to face the Los Blanco’s , which is a bit intimidating to the home side who may spend the 90+ minutes throwing paper darts in an English defencd being marshalled by an in – form, back line..
Guardiola will only be missing the duo of Matteo Kovavic with an ankle injury and Rodri apart from these two z the Citizens are tactically well equioed to end the jinx of not winning at the Bernabau for over a decade .
Talisman , and goal poacher , Halland is also available to do more damage to the hosts , while Mbappe will be absent, while the two assists provider in their last win last weekend , Rayan Cherki has finally stamped his authority in the first team and will available for more demolition job against the hosts .
Predictions .
Despite City is over bloated defensive back line , almost 200% fit as a fiddle , Guardiola rear men do not inspire confidence , it’s likely that Real attackers ,like Vinicius jr , Jude Bellingham and co may be well placed to rough ride some of their flat-footed back line .
Also Real Madrid s sttutering rear guard is hard to ignore to the massive opposition from City this night , definitely it’s going to be a lssh of the Titans as the English side will come out fire for fire against the hosts and may likely get a win .
We expect a match a good full of goals .
Real Madrid 3- 4 Manchester City Or 2-3 , 2-1 or 2-4 .
Happy Viewing and welcome back to the Uefa Champions league matches before the Christmas break in coming weeks.
Merry Christmas in Advance .
