Real Madrid vs Manchester City: Champions League preview
Mbappe's incredible goal record is no Champions League fluke. The French international forward is also tracking at a goal per game in La Liga and is on track for his best season in front of goal since 2018-19.
Despite his exploits, Real Madrid are four points behind Barcelona at the top of the league table and the Champions League is offering sanctuary for the 15-time winners in their first season under Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid's only European defeat came against Liverpool at Anfield in November and their previous home games have both been wins.
Manchester City have won once at the Bernabeu in seven attempts, a 2-1 win in the last 16 in February 2020 courtesy of goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne, both now formerly of the 2022-23 Champions League winners.
Guardiola's City are poised in ninth place in the league phase table – a win would take them into the top eight at the expense of Real Madrid at the very least – with games to come against Bodo/Glimt at home and Galatasaray away.
Erling Haaland is one of the most feared strikers in the world and he has five goals to his name in this season's Champions League as well as 15 in the Premier League.
City fans won't be concerned about one goal in his last four league appearances. In fact, if Haaland manages to out-score Mbappe at the Bernabeu this week, they won't care one little bit.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Real Madrid 2-2 Manchester City
Man City are starting to look the part but Real Madrid have a way of keeping themselves out of trouble in the Champions League. Scoring draw, as they used to say on the pools.
