Real Madrid vs Manchester City Preview
Champions League Semi-Final, Tuesday, May 9th, 20:00 (UK)
There’s an element of revenge for Pep Guardiola’s men after Real Madrid beat Manchester City in this competition last season. Carlo Ancelotti’s side scored two late goals to force the game into extra time. Madrid went on to win 3-1 on the night and 6-5 on aggregate. The tie was an absolute classic so this year’s encounter has a lot to live up to.
Madrid are out of the race in La Liga but they lifted the Copa Del Rey at the weekend. They dealt with a spirited display from Osasuna but they will need to improve ahead of the match with Manchester City. Ancelotti has a wealth of talent at his disposal. It appears that his club have landed the signature of Jude Bellingham. These two teams were widely reported to be the main contenders to sign the Englishman so Madrid have landed the first blow ahead of the match.
Pep Guardiola’s side took their foot off the gas in the second half of their match with Leeds at the weekend. The players have one eye on this match and they will be keen to ensure they are at their brilliant best when they rock up to the Bernabeu.
City are chasing an unprecedented treble; something that has only been achieved once before in English football. They have beaten Real in three of their last four meetings but they will be wary of the threat the home side poses.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City Bet Builder
Our first angle for our bet builders is both teams to score in the match. Both of these teams possess the quality in forward areas to cause problems for the opposition defence. Rodrygo and Vinicius are fantastic with the ball at their feet and their pace in behind will give City’s backline food for thought.
Manchester City’s goalscoring exploits have been well-documented this season. Erling Haaland has broken the record for most goals scored in a Premier League season. The Norwegian has also been in fine form in the Champions League. Jack Grealish has also become a key player for City. Pep will no doubt have a plan on how to get at Madrid and there will be no shortage of chances.
Both teams have scored in the last four meetings between these sides. There has also been an average of four goals per game over this period. This does not include any goals that were scored in extra time.
First legs are typically calmer. There will likely be a feeling out process as both teams look to play their way into the tie. This should mean we see fewer throws in this one. When these teams were drawn together last season, the first leg saw just 27 throws.
This is why I’m using bet365 for this Builder. The props selection is the best around and we can break down the number of throw-ins by team or half and back the under or over for dozens of different lines.
Domestically, both of these sides’ matches have the fewest throws per game on average. Real Madrid matches in La Liga are averaging 31 throws per game. Manchester City’s matches in the Premier League are averaging 29.68 throws per game. The under looks good here.
- Both Teams To Score
- Under 32.5 Throws In The Match
