The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw wanted the English "giants" of Manchester City to face the "Galacticos" of Real Madrid for the third year in a row.
The reigning champions will face the competition's record holders, as the two clubs have met in the semi-finals in the last two years, with Los Blancos winning in 2022 thanks to a great comeback from Rodrygo and Karim Benzema. A year later, City took revenge for that elimination with a 4-0 victory at the "Etihad Stadium" last season, an elimination that also "gifted" them the Champions League title.
A short comment was also made by the technician of "Citizens", with the Spaniard Pep Guardiola, who considered it a "mini tradition", the confrontation with the "kings" of the competition.
He said that words are not enough for the Real Madrid team, with 14 times the winners of the Cup, who can rightly be called the "masters" of Europe.
" It seems like a small tradition, three years in a row we play with the "kings" of the competition. Hopefully we can get to a good moment, but there are still a few weeks before the first leg in Madrid. It is not necessary to say what Real Madridid is in this competition.
When you play in the final stages, you play against the best teams in Europe. But all opponents are really tough, everyone knows that. We were excited before the draw because it's a privilege every time we're here. It is a special competition" , said Guardiola.
