Gary Lineker

But if you're not dominant in midfield, you're not going to provide the opportunities up top.

And Mbappe's injured, so they're always a bit more blunt when he's not on the field.

But I think...

replacing Cross and Modric as I think they've found it very, very difficult.

I mean, obviously, you know,

They've got good players in there, but you're talking about very, very special midfield players that just control football matches.

I don't think it's likely to be over after the first leg.

I think you go to the Bernabeu, it's never easy.

Champions League night, it is generally when they turn up.

They have got a lot of injuries.

City, although they are improving, they're making progress and you can see that they're still not quite what they were.

They're still a little bit vulnerable to the counter-attack, which Real Madrid do have the players to capitalise on that.

if that is indeed the case.

So I don't think it'll be over.

I think Manchester City are favourites to go through.

And it's mad how often they meet.

We said, didn't we, last week, 13 times, wasn't it?

It's either Man City, Real Madrid or Man City, Newcastle mostly.

So what's the feeling in Madrid?

Obviously, you said Trent's getting a bit of a stick.
