In the clash in the playoff of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Manchester City for a place in the Round of 16, you can see both the rivalry and the fairness of their decisions to face each other already at this stage. An independent source called this game "the cat-and-mouse match", and indeed, the clash of these two large clubs at the early stage of the most important European tournament is hardly fair. After all, "Real" is the last winner of the Champions League, while "City" is the current titleholder of the previous season. Is it really a draw that pitted two famous and revered teams against each other?
