The Real Madrid manager, who is under fire, will lead Los Blancos for his first game against his former manager, Pep Guardiola, on the sidelines.

The La Liga giants head to the fixture off the back of a loss to Celta Vigo on Sunday, as they begin to lose grip on the Spanish topflight, per Sports Illustrated.

On the other hand, Manchester City have continued with their resurgence in the Premier League, with three straight wins, including an impressive 3–0 win over Sunderland at the weekend.

With Real Madrid and City facing off in the Champions League, a feline has predicted the team that will win the massive fixture.

Real Madrid to beat Man City?

Ahead of the showdown, a strange, but famous cat, branded "Oracle Whiskers", has predicted the team that would win the fixture.

Three bowls were placed metres away from the feline, each labelled Real Madrid - Draw - Manchester City.

Cameras captured the moment the cat, also known as Nimbus, walked to the one labelled 'Real Madrid' and fed itself from it, predicting victory for the home team.

The video, which was shared on Instagram, has left fans buzzing in the comment section.

"This cat is looking bigger by the day. Looking fresh and fine."

@chydollarschikason added:

"Hala Madrid but believe Nimbus at ur own risk."

jhude_austine said:

"After your ridiculous prediction about Chelsea vs Barcelona.

"I just realised that you’re just a Hungry cat eating where you see The bigger meat."

segz_og posited:

"If Real wins the game, it can be a springboard to success but not necessarily this season."

"I'm a Madrid fan but it seems like this nimbus is drunk. I believe in my club by the way."

Meanwhile, with the current form, Manchester City naturally should win the game for many. While Alonso is fighting off talk of the sack, Guardiola is trying to downplay his team’s title challenge.
