Look at the early odds where we are favourites. RM‘s core players (Modric, Benzema) are old, its defense is vulnerable, we will stay sharp bc of the title race while there‘s a good chance they get rusty by not having to play the maximum. Of course if we treat them like Villareal after the 1st leg we‘d be in for a surprise, but it won‘t happen, just alone because of 2018. Our chances for CL7 are 60:40, while it would have been 50:50 had we played City.
