The Champions League quarter-finals are about to enter the second leg, and the focus on Manchester City vs. Real Madrid has attracted much attention.
Manchester City and Real Madrid represent the highest levels of the Premier League and La Liga respectively, and the two teams are worth more than 2.3 billion euros, which is the most expensive contest in the Champions League so far this season.
This is the fourth time the two teams have met in the last five seasons and have met in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons.
The two giants have won the Champions League each over the past two seasons, and this season's meeting will determine whether one of them can continue to move forward.
In the first leg, Real Madrid played a tight battle at home to Manchester City, which ended in a 3-3 draw.
The match not only captivated the audience, but also tugged at the heartstrings of fans around the world.
Netizens have been discussing the match on social media and expressing their opinions.
Some netizens said that this game can be called a highlight of the Champions League 1/4 finals this season, and the strength of the two sides is very different, but they show an even state on the field.
A netizen named Football Fanatic commented: The collision between Manchester City and Real Madrid was like two powerful currents of water meeting and sparks.
The intensity of the game was comparable to that of the final, with both sides playing well in attack and defence, which is the true level of the Champions League.
In the course of the game, there were three shocking world waves in the second half, and every shot was like a bomb exploding in front of the goal, which made people look at it intently.
A netizen football fan girl said: The second half of the game was simply a goal battle, and the players of Real Madrid and Manchester City showed top skills and will.
Every shot is a goal-defying challenge and makes the blood boil.
However, despite Real Madrid's best efforts at home, they were unable to beat Manchester City and ended in a draw.
It also meant that Manchester City's 10-game winning streak in the Champions League came to an end.
In this regard, a netizen football critic expressed his opinion: Although Manchester City scored 3 goals away from home, they should not be taken lightly.
The next second-leg fixture will be played at Manchester City's home stadium, and the head-to-head record shows that Real Madrid's record against Manchester City on the road is not ideal.
This is a big plus for Manchester City, who have a certain advantage.
The first leg was a tight contest, but neither side was able to gain a clear advantage.
With the second leg being played at Manchester City's home stadium, the two sides will be in a more intense battle and it will be up to the rest of the game to see who will have the last laugh.
Manchester City's performances in the Champions League have been in the spotlight, with a 22-game unbeaten run and an impressive 28 wins and two draws at home.
This surprised many fans and left their opinions and comments on the Internet.
Xiao Ming, a netizen who calls himself a football fan, said on social media: Manchester City's performance is really impressive, and their winning streak in the Champions League has reached 22 games, which is really amazing.
Especially at home, it is simply an insurmountable fortress, with a record of 28 wins and 2 draws.
Another netizen named Xiaohua, a football enthusiast, commented: Manchester City's attack is simply unstoppable, their attack is well-organized, and every shot is full of threat.
Even away from home, they were able to score three goals with ease, which is really impressive.
In contrast, Real Madrid's odds of winning away at Manchester City look low.
A netizen named Soccer Savvy expressed his opinion: Real Madrid's performance against Manchester City away from home is not optimistic, and historical data shows that they have never won at Manchester City's home stadium.
This has left Real Madrid fans a little worried, wondering if they will be able to perform at the level they should have in the crunch time.
However, the charm of the Champions League lies in its variability, and Real Madrid are often able to burst out stronger in the face of adversity.
A netizen football fan's big bear said: The Champions League is full of unknowns, even if Manchester City has the advantage at home, but Real Madrid's strength cannot be underestimated.
It is highly desirable that they are often able to show a strong fighting spirit in the face of adversity.
The next second-leg bout is going to be a tough one, with different expectations and pressures on both sides.
This sparked heated discussions and discussions among netizens.
On social media, Xiaohu, a netizen named a football fan, expressed his opinion: Real Madrid's challenge against Manchester City away will be a tough test, and they will need to turn the tide on their opponent's turf to have a chance of qualifying.
However, in the face of City's strong attack, Real Madrid's defence needs to be more solid and the attack more threatening.
Although Real Madrid made a little mistake this time, I think the fans will always support them and their anthem will inspire them, and 2014 was a glorious moment for Real Madrid as they won the 10th Champions League trophy in the club's history, and this victory also meant that they completed the feat of La Decima.
这一辉煌时刻不仅让球迷们欢欣鼓舞,俱乐部也在胜利的喜悦中宣布了皇马的最新队歌《Hala Madrid y Nada Más》。
On social media, fans were buzzing with discussions and comments on the new team anthem.

Their masterpiece has won the love and praise of countless fans and has been hailed as Real Madrid's latest team anthem.
Netizens also shared their love and expectations for the song on forums and social platforms.
The comments from crazy football fans were: this song is really tear-jerking, and every time I hear it, I feel the excitement that makes me feel like I'm on the pitch and celebrating the victory with the team.
