The former Bulgaria striker says the game will end in a draw and the at the Santiago Bernabeu would be as exciting as the first-leg encounter. He said: “The Champions League semi-final between Man City and Real Madrid was pure football. You want to watch games like this and support football in its purest form,” Berbatov told Betfair.
“I love these types of games that have everything: goals, great players, great managers.” “I don’t think the tie is over, it’s not going to be easy for City in Madrid and it’s still 50/50, in my opinion.” “If anything the first game showed us, these two teams can score goals, they have big players and if they get the opportunity, both sides can take chances.
“I hope the second leg will be another great game between City and Real, there’s so much at stake. I think both teams will start carefully and try to find weaknesses and mistakes in the opposition. It could be a boxing match, but I hope that isn’t the case,” he said.
Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 4-3 in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium last week.
