The former Arsenal legendary coach who won the champions league and a series for the club remains outstanding in the history of the coaches to ever walk the pitch.
It will not be a surprise if his predictions should came true ahead of real Madrid and the man city champions league clash, because of what he has achieved in football and his knowledge when it comes to the game.
The former Arsenal tactician is giving the premier league giants the chance to win against the current laliga crowned champions as he made his prediction,but believes the Premier League side will be vulnerable without Kyle Walker in the side.
The premier league ginats took an early lead on Wednesday night at the ethihad stadium with the beautiful game ending in a 4-3 victory for the blues
Walker missed that tie having suffered an ankle injury in the previous round away to Atletico Madrid, a knock that sidelined him for three weeks.
The former Tottenham star defender is set to resume training and will travel with the squad to Madrid.
Wenger is giving the premier league giants an edge over the current crowned laliga champions to see the job done in the Spanish capital – but believes City will be vulnerable at the back without one of their key men.
When asked who are favourites, Wenger told beIN Sports: ‘City. They are the better team.
‘The only thing with City, they can be vulnerable when Walker doesn’t play in that defence.
‘When they have [Joao] Cancelo and Walker they can deal well with the passes in behind the defenders. When Walker is not there, they are a bit more vulnerable.’he added.
Assessing the threat of Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who were crowned Spanish champions at the weekend, Wenger paid tribute to the in-form Karim Benzema, who has scored nine goals in Real’s last four Champions League games.
‘I would say they have a normal defence if not an average defence with an exceptional goalkeeper,’ Wenger said. ‘They have a very skilful midfield with very intelligent decisions makers but who are a bit over the hill physically.
‘And that is why when they get out of pressure they can still make an intelligent pass.
‘They have two strikers, one who does everything you want, every touch he makes is a dream for a guy who loves football and Vinicius who can individually create something.’he added
