I saw a different formation for Real Madrid tonight and where I saw it, their formation is 4-2-3-1 which means that they are playing the same formation as Manchester city which will make the match very interesting. Haaland and Mbappe will have to compete for the highest goal scorer, their two being among the hottest striker strikers at the moment. Sincerely, this match can swing either direction as we will soon find out.

A season ago, we wouldn’t have thought this way of Manchester City, they were the team that was matched for Real Madrid and almost kept them away from champions league title. Today, it’s a different case entirely. Even when Manchester City was arguably real title contenders in the Champions league, Real Madrid always did find a way to beat them. Now, they are just shadows of it formal self Manchester City, facing the same strong opponent in Real Madrid, there hopes to progress is so little.

The truth is that many are expecting or saying that this game will be very favorable for Madrid, but the truth is that I am not very confident, City is a team that can surprise and that is something that we all know, Pep is surely putting together his team with the best they have and we must not underestimate him just because they have not had good performances in the last few games, however Ancelotti himself said that he does not like facing City, however that is football and we have to accept it.

CONFIRMED lineups: Manchester City vs Real Madrid, 2025 Champions League

Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois, Valverde, Tchouameni, Asencio, Mendy, Camavinga, Ceballos, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Mbappe.

Manchester City starting XI (TBC): Ortega. Nunes, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Silva, De Bruyne, Savinho, Foden, Haaland.

As I have said on many occasions, what I don't like about this formation is that Tchouameni is there and Modric is not starting. I think that these changes have to be made as soon as possible, if Ancelotti wants to secure the game, because City's attacking power is Incredibly strong.

[Justbillywitt]

Cool as you like, Vitinha puts it away from the penalty spot for PSG. Brest 0 Vs PSG 1, that was a clear penalty as the defenders hand was in an unatural position as it struck his hand. This encounter is definitely not a competition for PSG as they will smoke Brest both home and away. It's just like their usual League one game.

There was never going to be a struggle for PSG to win this game seeing that they are currently one of the team with excellent form through Europe. The game currently is already 0-3 in favor of the french champions and I believe this win will cement their place in the next round of the competition although they don't do well in that particular next stage of the competition.

PSG management and their players must have already celebrated when they found out it was Brest that was going to be their opponent in this round. All thanks to the winning they got against Manchester and eventually their last match in the group stages. PSG are used to winning Brest and now it's already assured that they are going to the next round. 3 goals at away and still counting. Brest have really done their best by getting to this point, they should be proud of how far they have come in the champions it. This is the first season I am seeing them play in the champions League and they really impressed. PSG is bigger than them, and they knew it.

Well, Real Madrid and Man City seem to be using the same formation for this match. Both of them use a 4-2-3-1 formation. As seen in the picture I attached. I really can't wait to see who will be superior between the Man City squad and the Real Madrid squad. The meeting of these two teams was actually a very good coincidence. Because both of them experienced almost the same inconsistency this season. It's just that Real Madrid is a little better. And it seems that even though this is a home match for Man City, it seems that many people still doubt Man City. And I understand that this is normal because Man City has had an uncertain performance recently. But actually Real Madrid also has the same thing.

[promise444c5]

The Real Madrid squad looks formidable than the Manchester City squad. However we have seen how Real Madrid have played in the recent time with players like vinicius Junior, kylian mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Rodrigo and Valverde and yet they lost their match. I think that was against Espanyol. I don't so much trust them to give the best.

In the other hand, Manchester city is also not stable. They have been on a decline this time around. I also don't trust the Foden, Haaland and Savinho combination. Greallish would have come in for Foden. But I think there will be BTTS in this match.

The formation utilized by  Realmadrid will make the defense a little bit better so maybe we won't see that much  goals tonight  if both side decide to  hold more to their defense but i think City will want to secure some goals in this game plus using the chance of being at home, so i expected some dangerous attack  tonight from Mancity, let's see if Realmadrid will prevent this attacks..
Foden is better for starting  btw, why did you said "Greallish would have come in for Foden"(maybe for sub though) and what's the meaning of BTTS( i'm lost ).

The game currently is already 0-3 in favor of the french champions and I believe this win will cement their place in the next round of the competition although they don't do well in that particular next stage of the competition.

The match just ended, and to be frankly speaking, I must confess that Paris Saint German did actually played an excellent game tonight against Brest with all odds, of which despite the Referee cancelling their potential 4th goal at 53minutes due to VAR. We could noticed it didn't take long for PSG to score another and extra one, making it 3 goals swiftly against Brest. Hence, there is one singular player who I think deserves the title of the match for today, which is in the person of Ousmane Dembele who just scored another brace tonight, making it his third brace, two hat trick and 15 goals scored in just 8 games this 2025.

[Adbitco]

Don't know why two League One clubs had to meet at this stage. This has limited the chance of a French team to win the competition. PSG are favorites to win the match based on past meetings and current performance. If you think Luis Enrique understands Brest, that is equally how Eric Roy will be aware of the weakness of PSG. If the home side gets a goal, it might decide to play defensively but it will still be difficult to hold an attacking side like PSG for a long time..

It's really funny though, because even without the teams being paired in this stage, Brest has no chance in advancing beyond R16 of the Champions League, they are not equipped for that, even PSG that is so powerful in the League one struggles in the Champions League how much less a team like Brest. I already know that PSG will beat them home and away and there's no contest to that. It's already 2 - 0 at Half Time maybe PSG might still add more before the game at Parc des Princes

Yes, that's true when we see that these two teams have to meet and beat each other in the play-off round, actually from the start we will be able to predict what the outcome of this match will be. Brest and PSG clearly have a big difference in strength. In the domestic league, Brest also lost a few weeks ago to PSG. And this is also a sign that when the two met at UCL the results were also quite clear.

And now PSG can also feel calm because they are also 3 goals ahead in this first match. So, we can all predict which team will advance to the next stage. And bringing together two teams from the same league at this stage really brings good luck to PSG. The real challenge for PSG will begin in the round of 16. And I will really look forward to it.

Frankly, we all know what the outcome will be for this playoff round between PSG and Brest, PSG is clearly the team that will advance to the Round of 16 of the Champions League, it was just a matter of how many goals will Brest concede against their league leaders in the two legged encounter. 

[ajiz138]

Just now Brest played badly they seemed to have no direction to play while PSG did well 3 goals were safe enough for them to qualify for the round of 16 especially in the second leg playing at PSG's home it could add PSG's aggregate goals.
Not expecting Brest to win, but at least this team should be able to score, but unfortunately they can't do it a little upset to see it. Lol
Because betting both teams score.

[Arenga pinnata]

The Brest vs PSG match has ended and the result is not far from the predictions of the majority of people who are more likely to favor PSG without a doubt. And the score of 0-3 is really the answer to PSG that they will indeed go further. Because the second match is at PSG's home ground, of course it will also bring better benefits for PSG. So Brest in the second match at PSG's home ground will definitely be much more difficult.

And it looks like the main course will soon begin, namely the Man City vs Real Madrid match. Both are strong teams by nature. It's just that Man City is not in its best condition this season. Real Madrid actually also experienced the same thing. But Real Madrid has started to recover well. But even so, it is still very difficult to predict who will win the Man City vs Real Madrid match. But the chances for both teams to score goals seem to be quite big in this match.

Ousmane Dembele has really been in his best form this season with PSG. His goal statistics have really improved and that's not only in Ligue 1, but also in the Champions League. In addition to 2 goals today, he has scored 6 goals in 7 Champions League matches which makes him the most productive sticker at PSG this season.

With this promising victory, I think it will be easier for PSG to qualify for the round of 16 this season. The second leg will be held at the Parc des Princes next week, so it will be easier for them to control the game and win it. So I am increasingly optimistic that PSG is safe to qualify for the round of 16.

The match will be more interesting and sweet if Manchester city was in a good form but it is so unfortunate that they are not though it is still going to be interesting because the two team are big name in the whole world and even as football is concerned. Real Madrid on the other hand is not even that inform judging bases on their recent play it is very true that Real Madrid has more form than Manchester city and I think they have 2 draws in their last 5 matches and one very funny thing about this clubs is that anytime they are playing against a famous club they will always play there best regardless of form.

I am not surprise with the 0-3 scoreline in favor of PSG because Brest is not a strong and formidable side that can pull a challenge to PSG, infact PSG would a big advantage at their home after a convincing 3-0 win in the home ground of Brest with PSG who dominated and enjoyed most the possessions, I hope and believe PSG is through to the next round because I don't think they would concede 3-0 goals in their home ground the return leg though any thing can happen in football but I tip PSG to scale through to the next stage round of 16 where they may likely play against a strong team, meanwhile congratulations to PSG for a well deserve win.

This is the champions league and so many things can be different especially when the two teams are big teams. Real Madrid are also not in their best form seeing how they have been struggling to win games. But one thing am certain about is the fact that Real Madrid actually play differently when it comes to the champions league atmosphere and I expect the game to be exciting although I think it will end a draw between the two teams.

We expected such a result in this match. Because Brest's defense was relatively weak. A few days ago, PSG players were able to score 5 goals against Brest. So we could predict in advance that PSG would win this match by dominating. I hope no one dares to bet on Brest's victory. I bet on PSG's victory and I won.

Now I am enjoying the Manchester City vs. Real Madrid match. Both teams are performing well. Although we thought Real Madrid would dominate this match and get an easy win. However, Manchester City took the lead in the 19th minute of the match with Haaland's goal. The match is becoming more competitive. Real Madrid is now desperate to score goals.

Brest is also a team from Ligue 1 but indeed, considering that PSG also rarely wins with clean sheets, I also think that maybe Brest can have a goal in this match. Indeed, this season Brest is not as good as last season, but Brest should also be able to make PSG not win by a big score. Because in my prediction, PSG will not win by a big score, so I also only choose for PSG to win and do not think about choosing the Asian handicap option as I usually do. But anyway, basically PSG has a great chance to qualify, of course, whatever the score PSG has will still succeed in eliminating Brest.

[Arenga pinnata]

It seems that for the moment Man City managed to take a 1 goal lead thanks to a goal scored by Haaland. But so far both teams are still playing equally well. And I'm sure this won't be the only goal in this match. Because of course Real Madrid will also try to reply to the goal in the first half.

For other matches, such as the Sporting CP vs Dortmund match, the result is still 0-0. Likewise with the Juventus vs PSV match the result was still 0-0. But I'm sure the majority of us are currently watching the same match, namely focusing on the Man City vs Madrid match.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Im expecting a lot of goals between these two teams. Hopefully they dont go into really hard defence and just play by tactic. I think both teams have the attacking power to score. Im just intrested to know how Man City will play because they usually concede goals from their own mistakes.

Both teams are attacking a lot. In 25 minutes, Real madrid have managed to make 5 shots and Manchester City have managed to make 3 shots. Both teams are playing completely attacking tactics. The fight between Guardiola and Ancelotti is always very enjoyable.

Haaland has been able to take  advantage of Real madrid's weak defense. Manchester City is now 1-0 ahead. Apart from Mendy, there is no experienced defender in Madrid's squad. We can see Velverde and Tchouameni in Madrid's defense. Apart from Velverde, Madrid's midfield is also a bit weak. 5 midfielders in Madrid's squad are out of the squad due to injuries. This is why Madrid's defense is weak today.

This is Madrid's main weakness and biggest weakness. Madrid's midfield and attack players are very talented, no doubt about it. However, Manchester City also has talented players like Haaland and De Bruyne in the attack. To counter these players, a strong defense is definitely needed. But Ancelotti now has no experienced defenders. Talented midfielders like Velverde and Tchouameni are now being used as defenders.

It is very difficult to perform well against City with a weak defense. Ancelotti should have played defensively in this match and tried to draw the match. Madrid is playing attackingly. As a result, Madrid's defense is getting weaker. And City's players are able to create scoring opportunities.

[Mate2237]

City looks good in the starting minutes and has taken the lead through haland and let see how things will unfold in this match because this match looks promising and open for any of the two teams to win but Manchester City will have to be in another level in this game because madrid can be dangerous to they have be werry of Madrid going forward

Madrid has to show why they are champions League winners in this game because they have conceded early in this game and wound like to come back to get a win as is there tradition in most important games that they have won in the past so Madrid has to get a good result in England before playing at home in the second leg of this fixtures

City has taken the lead and they have the better chance of winning the match if only they wouldn't relent in their attack before the match comes to an end. On the other hand, Madrid is also trying to see how they can equalize the goal with aggressive attacking force . The match is fierce and I hope to see more goals in this match. It's still 1-0.
