What Spanish media are saying about Man City vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid don't have fond memories of visits to the Etihad Stadium and will have to be at their best to overcome Manchester City in the second-leg quarter-final tie this week.

"Rodrygo is the third most used player by Ancelotti, behind Federico Valverde and Antonio Rudiger. But the Italian coach decided to preserve the former Santos man, knowing that he will feel in his natural environment at the Etihad and that most of the chances Real will get, will probably come through him.

"He is going through a key period in his career and Ancelotti will certainly need him to be at his best so Real can qualify for the semi-finals." "Real were knocked out of the competition twice at Etihad, in 2020 and 2023. Another defeat and Etihad is on track to become a cursed stadium for the club, unless Vinicius, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham put a stop to it."

"And I think he's right. Ancelotti, to win, must vindicate his idea of football, which involves sweating through your shirt but above all, to break down Pep Guardiola's team. Rodri won't be rested as suggested Guardiola, but their defence will need strength to stop Vinicius - City's main fear.
