Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City prediction for UEFA Champions League 2021-22
Manchester City are outright favourites to win the second leg match of their UEFA Champions League 2021-22 encounter against Atletico Madrid.
The Blues have won just thrice on Spanish soil, and will look to improve the record. However, given Atletico Madrid’s performance against Manchester United earlier this term at home, the hosts will be no simple pushover for the visitors.
