Champions League Games 5/6 April '22

Think we'd turn them both over but for the sake of avoiding an English team and the scars of last year still stuck in the memory I'd rather get Real Madrid. I don't really rate Real either, I watched Barca tear them apart not long ago.
No Benzema in the Barcelona game though
 
As good as he is, we'd dominate Real Madrid, pedestrian midfield, questionable defence. Their quality is up top but they'd barely get the ball near our goal.
Don’t forget we’ve lost to Liverpool who finished 25 points behind us, Spurs who finished 27 points behind us, Lyon who were 7th in Ligue 1, and Chelsea who finished 23 points behind us.

Real Madrid are the precise sort of team we do well against in Europe: A strong side that aren't recently familiar with playing a team that absolutely dominates the ball (like City).
 
I just think they're a good matchup for us, can get at their weaknesses and limit the chances their best players get.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d fancy us if we got them.
 
Ancelotti is proving that football can be played without fancy triangles. Just need a Benzema.
