Personal analysis: Real Madrid's current lineup strength and thickness basically have no shortcomings. The only problem is that Vazquez, Militao and Rudiger on the back line are currently injured, which has a relatively large impact on Real Madrid's back line. Secondly, Mbappe and Vinicius are both speed-oriented forwards on the front line. When the opponent compresses the defensive space, the two have limited space to display. The team itself has strong rhythm ability on the field and three-line offensive ability. Once the game enters a tense state, Real Madrid has a relatively good advantage. The main problem of Manchester City's forward line is that the end point is too single, but with the signing of Marmus, this long-standing problem has been solved. The offensive effect of his combination with Haaland in front of the goal is quite good. Savinho is also a plug-and-play player. He has shown good ability to organize offense in the past few games. If Grealish is not injured, the two will have a good offensive effect on the two sides. The team's defensive ability in the midfield and backcourt is still sufficient. For example, Akanji basically defended well when defending Vinicius, and Gvardiol performed well in the offense and defense on the left. It can only be said that Kovacic's mistake at the last minute ruined Manchester City's hope of scoring in the last round of games. The team itself does not have too many defects in offense and defense.

At present, both Real Madrid and Manchester City have more injury problems. Real Madrid is mainly concentrated on the back line, while the injuries of Akanji and Haaland on Manchester City have a greater impact on the team. In terms of lineup strength, Real Madrid still has some advantages. In this game, Real Madrid's home field handicap of 0.5 goals is normal. Manchester City's offensive ability in the midfield and frontcourt is not bad, but the back line is relatively weaker than Real Madrid's overall strength. Combining the current data, the possibility of a big draw in this game is relatively high. Real Madrid's advantage will not be too big if the two teams compete in offense. Therefore, Manchester City + 0.5 win option is recommended for this game, and the score is expected to be 2-2 or 3-3.
