Real Madrid vs Man City Prediction (3:00 a.m. December 11), Champions League 2025-2026

Real Madrid are experiencing a dip in form, having won only 2 of their last 7 matches, while Man City are making a strong comeback. The clash at the Bernabéu promises to be tense and unpredictable.

Real Madrid entered the match against Man City in a serious decline in form. The last seven matches in all competitions showed the obvious instability of coach Xabi Alonso and his team when they only won 2, drew 3 and suffered 2 defeats.

Real Madrid have lost form but still have to prepare to welcome Man City to the Bernabeu in a key Champions League clash.

More worryingly, the most recent defeat took place at the Santiago Bernabéu against Celta Vigo with a score of 0-2, on a day when Real Madrid received 3 red cards. These cards not only affected the result but also reflected the loss of control and unstable playing mentality of many key players. This put the Royal team in a pressured situation when preparing to welcome Man City, a strong opponent, highly organized and possessing superior squad depth.

In contrast to Real Madrid, Man City are gradually finding their familiar rhythm again. After two consecutive defeats against Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen, coach Pep Guardiola's team has promptly stood up with a series of 3 consecutive victories in the Premier League.

These positive results not only helped Man City regain their spirit, but also helped them narrow the gap with the top team Arsenal to 2 points, thereby continuing to chase the championship race. However, in the Champions League, Man City still have a lot of work to do. After unstable matches in the group stage, they are currently only ranked 9th in the overall rankings with 10 points.

Man City gradually regained form with an impressive winning streak, confidently marching to Bernabeu for the important match in the Champions League.

This means that The Citizens need to show a much better face if they want to break into the top 8 best teams in Europe. The confrontation with Real Madrid is therefore extremely important, not only affecting the ranking but also greatly affecting the team's mentality in the next stage.

Looking back at the past confrontations, Real Madrid and Manchester City have met quite a few times in recent seasons. The last six encounters show a remarkable balance with Man City winning once, Real Madrid winning twice and the two teams drawing three times. This is a statistic that shows that neither side is completely superior, and each confrontation contains many unpredictable factors.

In the upcoming match, Real Madrid has the advantage of playing at home at Bernabéu. However, this advantage is significantly reduced when the Royal team is going through a period of crisis in form. Mbappe and his teammates continuously make individual mistakes, lack cohesion in their playing style and appear vulnerable to strong pressing and organized opponents like Man City. In that context, winning 1 point against Man City can also be considered an acceptable result for coach Xabi Alonso and his team.

Force information:

Real Madrid: David Alaba, Daniel Carvajal, Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen, Mendy are injured. Eder Militao is doubtful of playing.

Man City: Kovacic, Phillips injured.

Expected lineup:

Real Madrid: Courtois, Federico Valverde, Raul Asencio, Antonio Rudiger, Alvaro Carreras, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe.

Man City: Donnarumma, Lewis, Stones, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Gonzalez, Savinho, Reijnders, Foden, Doku, Haaland.

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-2 Man City.
