Good evening everyone. Welcome to MARCA’s English live blog. Check out the mouth-watering Champions League league stage clash between Real Madrid and Manchester City at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in the Spanish capital.
Xabi Alonso is experiencing his first crisis as Real Madrid manager. Last week’s win against Athletic Club was the only positive result in La Liga in recent days. The team has lost three games in a row, most recently losing to Celta Vigo in their own backyard.
However, things were much better for the Whites in the Champions League, with four wins from their opening five games, their only blemish being the loss to Liverpool at Anfield.
Now, waiting for them is another giant of the Premier League, Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola. They arrive in Madrid with 10 points after five games and need a positive result after a shock defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen last time out.
Madrid and City have had a number of great matches in the Champions League in recent years. The two sides have met six times in the finals over the past 10 seasons, with Madrid winning all but two.
This time around, things may not be as big on paper, but with Alonso’s qualifications in question, the Basque manager needs a good result to allay the unwelcome rumors surrounding him.
