What They're Saying

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Goal): "I was saddened by the way that Casillas left [Real Madrid]. His exit wasn't handled in the best way. He's a top player. I was lucky enough to manage Raul and, in my opinion, he was one of the most intelligent players I had the opportunity to coach."

Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez (via AS): "Fortunately after working with him, you can see how competitive he is and how keen he is to win. He has great quality and that's what makes him the best player in the world. I wish all the players had the same enthusiasm to compete and win. He shows this on a day by day basis and I'm delighted with him."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Ronaldo had the numbers last season to earn such high praise from his manager, but not the silverware of Lionel Messi. In 35 league appearances, CR7 finished with 48 goals and 73 chances created.

Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Hart; Sagna, Denayer, Mangala, Kolarov; Fernando, Garcia, Toure; Sterling, Silva, Iheanacho

Real Madrid's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Kroos, Modric; Bale, Odegaard, Isco; Ronaldo
