Robin Singh sheds light on City vs Real UCL clash, says 'Madrid will cause damage in attacking sector'

3 min read

The Real Madrid coach stated that the team will have difficulty in the attacking sector.

The knockout stage matches took place at Etihad Stadium in the early hours of Wednesday.

They have won three times, while Manchester-based team has won four times. The matches have ended in a tie five times.

Speaking exclusively to ANI, Robin stated that it is the ideal time to face City in the knockout phase playoffs, given that they are currently undergoing a transitional period due to injury issues.

Will be participating in the elimination phase.

To make it to the playoff round. These are Champions League powerhouses. So with Madrid, City, and Bayern, you'd always hope and wish that they're not playing a playoff game. But the new structure is in such a way where it's very unpredictable...," Robin said to ANI.

Feyenoord is set to take on AC Milan in a challenging match. Meanwhile, AS Monaco will be facing off against Benfica.

The former footballer was asked for his opinion on the Real versus City game, and he stated that Madrid's primary concerns will be their defensive lineup, as most of their starting players have been injured recently.

The 34-year-old expressed the opinion that the most anticipated match of the UCL knockout phase will go down to the second leg, which will take place in Santiago Bernabeu.

Football is all about scoring goals, and with Madrid's current attacking strength, particularly with Rodrigo playing incredibly well, I believe they'll cause significant damage on the attacking front. The main concern, however, lies with their defense. The recent injury to Vazquez, coupled with the absence of Carvajal, Militao, and Rudiger, puts a lot of pressure on Tchouameni to adapt as a makeshift center-back and Raul Asensio to lead the line against one of the world's top strikers, Haaland. While Haaland has been inconsistent, his ability to find the right position is a hallmark of skilled strikers. I think this match will indeed be a closely contested one, and it's likely to go down to the wire, with the second leg at the Bernabeu being a particularly challenging venue for visitors.

In the previous season of the top-tier tournament, Madrid faced City in the quarter-final. Where the Whites emerged as the winner and they went on to win their record fifth UCL titles.

Apart from the Los Merengues, he mentioned Liverpool and FC Barcelona.

They can also have the ability to remain as one of the top four teams in the competition.

"I'd like to see Real Madrid included. So, let's insert Real Madrid. I believe Liverpool must be in this group. Liverpool, Barcelona. Yes, Atletico Madrid or Bayern. Depending on which side Bayern goes on, they can also make it," he concluded.

The first leg of the R16 Playoff matches will be broadcast LIVE on the Sony Sports Network from February 11, 2025, to February 13, 2025, starting at 11:15 PM. Additionally, all the matches will also be live-streamed on Sony LIV.
