Real Madrid vs Manchester City Dream11 Prediction
Although City carry a 4-3 advantage, Real Madrid will fancy their chances with Karim Benzema in their ranks and also the away goal rule being scrapped from this season. But, if City defence is resolute, Guardiola's men can progress. However, it won't be a easy task against a team that is known to win Champions League titles for fun.
