UCL: Real Madrid vs. Man City Final: Luis Figo Is The Favorite

In comparison to Los Blancos, former Real Madrid star Luis Figo has tipped Manchester City to win this year's Champions League final.

Tuesday night's opening leg of the Champions League semifinal match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Next week, the La Liga champions will make the trip to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg.

In the final, the victor of the two legs will face the winner of Inter Milan vs. AC Milan.

"City plays against the best club in history in the European Cup and there are times when history has its weight," Figo said (via Mundo Deportivo).

"City are favourites, but Madrid are always alive until the end in matches. It will be a nice semi-final to watch."

In the past, Real Madrid and Man City have faced off eight times in the Champions League.

Madrid and City have each had three victories and two draws.
