Manchester City seek revenge against Real Madrid in Champions League semi-final rematch
Manchester City and Real Madrid are set to face off once again in the Champions League semifinals, after City secured a 4-1 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Last year’s clash between the two teams was a memorable one, and City is eager to make amends for the result that slipped through their fingers.
Midfielder Bernardo Silva has spoken openly about the team’s desire for revenge against Los Blancos, telling Movistar+ that they want to win the title and make history for Manchester City.
City was leading 1-0 in the second leg of their clash against Real Madrid last year, after a scintillating performance in the first leg had put them 4-3 up on aggregate. However, Los Blancos managed to score two goals in quick succession to level the tie and eventually won the game in extra time.
Silva acknowledged the frustration that the defeat caused for City and spoke of their determination to come out on top this time around. He noted that while Real Madrid has a lot of quality, City has the team to beat them and is excited to do well in the competition.
It’s clear that City is looking to set the record straight and prove that they were the better team in last year’s knockout stage. However, with Real Madrid’s supreme confidence in Europe, the mental factor is sure to play a significant role in the outcome of the upcoming match.
