Manchester City is on a four-game streak of home wins, while Real Madrid is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. Manchester City will face off against Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League Quarterfinal at 3:00 p.m. ET on April 17th at Etihad Stadium. Manchester City is strutting in with some offensive muscle, as they've averaged 3 goals per game this season.
Manchester City: The reigning champions have breezed through the Champions League up until the quarterfinals, winning all but last week's first leg. They have scored 27 goals in nine matches so far, perfectly averaging three goals a game so far with Erling Haaland accounting for six of them and Foden right behind him with five. They easily topped a group that included RB Leipzig, Young Boys and Crvena Zvezda and cruised through a round of 16 tie with Copenhagen with a 6-2 aggregate win.
Real Madrid: The thing about this Real Madrid team is that their inconsistencies are on full display, and yet they somehow sneakily eke out a win with limited hand-wringing. They topped a group with Napoli, Braga and Union Berlin with an eight-point gap between first and second place, but narrowly beat RB Leipzig 2-1 on aggregate in the round of 16.
