Gary Lineker

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.

What about the overall view on Arbeloa and his chances possibly of getting the job on a permanent basis at the end of the season?

I do.

I don't think you can say things have improved.

Well, I think Jürgen would fit any club, to be honest, because he's obviously exceptional.

The question remains, and he hasn't completely ruled it out, has he, that he'll return to management and coaching, I should say.

He's also intimated that, you know, do I really want to go back and stand on the side of training grounds?

I think this was when he was linked with an English job because they said when it's pissing down with rain, etc.,

Well, that's it.

It doesn't need to go back, but you know what it's like.
