Man 0 Real 2

Madrid will just fvck Man.City all holes this evening, and make them look like fools at the Bernabeu next week.

Not forgetting the fact that one Cristiano Ronaldo who's known for having insane records will do some marvellous things over both legs.

I don't know why and how a single player will have 16 goals to his name in a tournament that's yet to finish. Abstract!
