1. Goals Galore
Man Utd this season have scored an amazing amount of goals, but also conceded a fair few. Real Madrid always score goals aplenty and always have a leaky defence to go with it, and this has the recipe for a classic, where defending matters little, because the motto is simply well score more than you. With the attacking players on show here Ronaldo, Rooney, RVP, Ozil, Benzema, Hernandez, Nani goals are surely to be expected in abundance. Last time the two sides met, Real Madrid came out on top with a score of 6-5 over two legs and a decent bet would be a repeat score line, or something similar. These two sides like goals and can score at any given time in any situation. A tight, controlled tie that is decided by the odd goal may sound appealing to both managers, but in reality, the players will not settle for that. The fans expect a spectacle, and the players want to give them just that. Failing in Robin Van Persie or Wayne Rooney, Man Utd have goal-machine Javier Hernandez to call on, whereas Madrid have the ever prolific Higuain on the bench. This tie wont be for the light-hearted and could well be decided by a rugby score. What do you think will happen in Real Madrid vs Manchester United? Share your thoughts below.
