I don't think that matters in a cup comeptition. Even PSG in general had performed much better than Real this season. Real currently play the exact kind of football Pep's team would be vurnerable against. I think it would be an exact repeat of Pep's Bayern's demise at the hands of Real.

They're 13 points off the top of the league.
Easiest MoM decision ever.
And that's got to do with what I said because...?
Watched him in training, watched him play regularly the last years, my statement stands. Your opinion may differ, of course
Can understand it — the lad can do everything with the ball, and I love him to bits personally, but still, especially as you've seen Beckenbauer, Rummenigge etc. Surprising choice, that's all.
You're basing it on league form. That goes out the window in the CL and that's why Real Madrid are consistently brilliant in it. They are full of winners and leaders and I'd fancy them to beat City in the CL.
Yeah but Pep's Barca aren't in the league Rado, c'mon man.
Hmm, no they aren't.
He's not back in normal training with the team yet, so it's certainly not a matter of days only.
I'd think that's quite self evident really.
Yeah , what a Muppet statement
Talk about hyperbole. It will be a tough match for Real and maybe City might win too, but it would not be a rout as you say
Ronaldo what a donkey
Did they retain the CL? That is what will class you as great.
Shite, past it.
He scored them 2 year in the Spanish Super Cup...
That they're behind another team which isn't managed by the manager I quoted?
Ronnie should have had 4 today
It's difficult to regard a team as being better than one which won the treble when they're 3rd in their own league. They're considerably worse than last season's Madrid side for starters.
I must say the ref in Spain has been excellent. 10/10 performance with decisions that haven't all been clear cut and easy.
Glimpses of the Ronaldo we will see when he rejoins United in 4-5 years.
Messi > Ronaldo again.
Thanks.
They didn't but they did win sex trophies in one year and totally about 18 trophies in 4 years or though.
What on earth are you talking about?
Ooof Ronnie
But the Barca team they're behind is also not as strong as Guardiola's Barca.
Full time in Sevilla. Good result for us after a bad first 35 minutes.
For the record, as a City fan I would prefer to face Real more than anyone else. Simply because reguardless of who we will likely face (assume we don't bottle it against the Scouse), it is going to be a hard task reguardless and since I have a stronger dislike for Real than Barca or Bayern I would prefer to knock them (slightly) out over the other 2 teams.
There are a lot of reasons why I would disagree with that (weaker domestic record, the fact the have not won a Treble under Ronaldo, the fact they have only won 1 European Double etc.). I would say though that they do come a reletively close second...
How could he miss the ball?
Staying tuned in hope of a video clip of Rio reacting to that goal...
I love Buffon
Excellent, you've read my mind and found the question I was going to ask you.
OMFG feck off Cuadrado, I had money on 1-3 to Real!
Come on man, give it up. It was a bizarre statement with no logic to it.
Cool, I'll leave you to make utterly nonsense claims in peace.
Italian team bottling 4/5 clear cut chances to lose 0-3 at home, that's a new one for me.
Give it up.
If we win 4 of the last 5 CL's they should slowly start to think about changing this competition's name.
I understand but I personally think they are a better side, especially in the championship league.
Doesn't that make your original statement look even worse?
