Real Madrid has requested for the roof to be closed for their Champions League clash against Manchester City, and the City are unable to prevent this. UEFA will convene a meeting to discuss the request before making a decision. This means that City will face a more intense atmosphere at the full-capacity Bernabeu, as Real seeks to avenge last season’s defeat.

Despite this, Pep Guardiola, City’s manager, looks forward to such high-stakes matches and enjoys the competition. Guardiola acknowledges that Real Madrid will play differently in the upcoming match and emphasizes the tough challenge that lies ahead. He also expresses respect for Real Madrid, acknowledging that the outcome of the match will not be definitive.

Guardiola intends to play their best against the strong opponent, anticipating a difficult game. These mentions of participating in our new WhatsApp community and receiving daily Mirror Football content, as well as promotions and special offers, are not part of the original text.
