Madrid lead 1-0 at HT
Their 4th goal of the tie was scored after 12 mins
4+4+4 = 12
Madrid looking to become 4-4-4 all time vs Man City, exactly 44 weeks and 4 days after City won the UCL on Ancelotti’s 64th birthday and 4x4x4 = 64
It is still anyone’s game but if Madrid win its all about 444
Prince Philip died at age 99 on the 99th day of the year and Madrid drew with Man City 3-3 on his recent death anniversary and Rodrygo scored 99 mins after his birthday
Real Madrid haven’t lost any of their last 57 Champions League games in which they’ve been ahead at half time (W50 D7), with their last such defeat coming against Galatasaray back in April 2013 (1-0 up at half time, lost 2-3).
BUT…
Manchester City haven’t lost any of the last eight home games across all competitions in which they’ve conceded the opening goal (W5 D3), with Brentford in November 2022 the last visiting side to score first and win at the Etihad.
City make it 1-1 and 4-4 on aggregate makes sense with all the 4’s
