Normally in this type of game, I wouldn't be hesitant to take a 2-0 win for Real Madrid. Because they have the ability to hold good teams scoreless and win by multiple goals when they have to. So yeah it sounds like bread and butter for Real Madrid, but I think Benzema is bigger than what people think because he is a poacher and can get ugly goals. Another player the public doesn't appreciate but he is good for them.
Man City is also good in the air. With Nicolas Otamendi being an absolute key piece to this defense. So ugly goals out of the equation and hard to score headers.... I think Man City has a legit shot. Added into it that Real Madrid's best CDM is out today which Kross, really a CAM will have to fall back and play more of a defensive roll. Which he is good at, but it makes them lose something going forward
