"Real Madrid are sixth in the Champions League table, and second in La Liga."
"So of course their coach Xabi Alonso, just a few minutes in the job, is already in danger of the push."
"Not that life is as comfortable as it usually is for Pep Guardiola's men: they're currently outside the top-eight places in the Champions League, and while they've scored 11 goals in their last three games, they've conceded six, and before that were dispatched 2-0 at home by Bayer Leverkusen."
Real Madrid sit sixth in the Champions League table and second in La Liga. Xabi Alonso is newly appointed as coach and already facing pressure despite little time in the role. Manchester City are also underperforming in the Champions League and sit outside the top eight. City have scored 11 goals in their last three games but have conceded six during that run. Prior to those results, City lost 2-0 at home to Bayer Leverkusen. The match between the two clubs starts at 8pm GMT and pits two global football giants who are not at their peak.
