May 9, 2023

Manchester City are looking to complete the historic treble against the Spanish league giants in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

The showdown looks daunting for Manchester City players, given that Real Madrid have won 5 of the last 10 Champions Leagues.

Last season, Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City from the semi-finals of the tournament.

The ‘AS’ newspaper expected the match to look like a battle between the two sides, describing Manchester City’s Norwegian striker Erling Haaland as a ‘machine’, due to his extraordinary ability to score goals and break records. .

While Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior was described as charming.

The headline of the Spanish newspaper on Tuesday morning bore the following headline: “The Machine and the Magician.”

And Haaland’s head was placed above a huge robot, and his left eye was replaced with a bright red light, similar to the robots that appear in horror movies, while Vinicius was placed under the form of a magician practicing magic games.
