It's quite surprising that Milan dominated the first leg and second leg by possession and yet they left the final journey to Inter, and with this success of Inter, many people are regarding the Champions League as farmers league, it is not as difficult as how it used to be but I think things change, my only concern for Inter is if they will be able to win the final battle between Real Madrid or Manchester City. If indeed Inter actually succeeds which I don't pray they do  Tongue, it is going to be a memorable day for them because the last one they had in their gallery was 59 years ago.
Milan did dominate, but they didn't create many chances. their front line had trouble finding gaps in the Inter defense. and it was a difficult match for Milan. Inter have the advantage and they will wait for the results of the Man City vs Madrid match.
I wouldn't say Inter will struggle against either of the two. but these two teams are indeed the strongest I feel in the Champions League. but Inter reached the Final, not luck, they did it through hard work. Champions League final matches will always be interesting.
AC Milan tried a lot to win the match and they got excited and committed a lot of fouls but after Inter Milan scored a goal in the 74th minute AC Milan could not score against it.  Inter played the match with a lot of focus and because of that they were able to reach the final. However, which team will play with Inter in the final will be confirmed only after a few hours.  But do you think Inter can win the final?

After a lot of speculation arose about who would fill in Real Madrid's starting line-up against Manchester City, now it has begun to be answered. Maybe many people are quite disappointed with Ancelotti's decision to leave Rudiger and prefer Militao to be in the line up, but I think this happened for a reason. Of course we know very well how the first leg went last week and indeed Haaland couldn't move after being tightly guarded by Rudiger, but it seems Ancelotti has another strategy by installing Militao so that Pep Guardiola can't read his strategy. On the right wing, there was speculation that Rodrygo would appear as a supersub in the second half but Ancelotti again denied this speculation by bringing on Rodrygo from the early minutes. We will be presented with an interesting match today, the two coaches will compete with each other to determine a place in the Champions League final this season.

One thing that makes me think that Man City will advance to the Final is that Man City has a better performance than Real Madrid at the moment. As happened in the first leg, even though Man City played as guests, but they had more opportunities than the hosts. While, in this second leg, Man City will play as the host, so it was certain that the crowd would be to their advantage and it can boost their motivation even higher.
I agree that it is one of the facts that favor Manchester City in the second leg. Manchester City's performance seems to be quite stable especially their strengths are very balanced. Manchester City have strong defenders, creative midfielders and sharp strikers, it is complete to make them the favourites.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, with all its advantages and experience, shouldn't be underestimated either. I think it's a big mistake to underestimate them in the Champions League, but given their away record at the Etihad the chances of winning are really low.

I thought Milan would come back in the second leg, but it seemed they couldn't do anything during those 90 minutes of normal time. Inter again beat Milan with a narrow score of 1-0 which made the overall aggregate total 3-0, of course this is a good result from Inter after this season they have always been able to beat Milan in all competitions including in Serie A and also the Italian supercopa. Now Inter are just waiting for their next opponent in the final, whether it's Manchester City or Real Madrid, of course they will always be ready with all possibilities to face one of Europe's strong teams.
I think Inter players didn't even have time to sweat for this match. There was certainly some hope for Leao, who returned, but he came back badly and essentially failed like the rest of the team.
In general, one of the weakest semifinals in 10 years. It is unclear what miracles Milan and Inter even got there. Approximately the same semifinal was at Leipzig-PSG, but at least there was Covid and a truncated tournament.

If no miracle happens, then the winner of the Champions League will be determined today in the confrontation between Real Madrid and Manchester City.

I'm not really surprised here.
The odds are unbalanced, but the bookies see that from a performance point of view, Manchester City is so perfect compared to Real Madrid, which of course can surprise the second leg.

Of course I myself saw that Manchester City was so strong to face this last game but we know that Real Madrid has a mentality that cannot be easily dismissed, remember how last season of course, now we don't know what happened, but one thing for sure, Manchester City's statistics dominate because they performed better under Pep Guardiola.

 Even if Manchester City defeats real Madrid, I want us to feel that real Madrid will never allow it to happen in a straightforward manner, despite my awareness of their popularity and strength this season. We are not persuaded by Manchester City's performance that they will defeat Real Madrid or remain competitive all the way through. Real Madrid has a history of being a particularly dangerous team in the Champions League. Let's examine the opening phase of the contest between the two squads. Real Madrid scored the game's opening goal despite all predictions to the contrary, which were made as the match went on.
Real Madrid has played in Etihad Stadium before, so I still think they can perform well and score goals there. I can't predict the outcome of the game, but we'll know the result in a few hours.

Stay optimistic, mate. I still hope that Real Madrid can beat Manchester City perfectly. Even though we know that Manchester City are favored when playing at home, there are several factors that we might be able to take advantage of.

Real Madrid knew they had to take advantage at the Bernabéu because the City's stadium is not easy for them, it doesn't suit their style. Now, Manchester City has been spectacular at their home stadium, overwhelming all their opponents, so I don't see why they couldn't achieve a favorable result against Real Madrid. It's not impossible. Manchester City 3 and Real Madrid 1, goals by Haaland, De Bruyne, and Benzema.
But in fact it was difficult for Real Madrid to take points at the Santiago Bernabeu even though he had led his first goal but Manchester City was able to equalize again so it was difficult for Real Madrid to play under such strong opponent pressure.

Our hope now is that Manchester City has to finish well at home. They have the advantage of playing in front of their loyal fans, with that they can win with more goals or narrow goals.
I want to see how Haaland as a striker can trouble Real Madrid tonight.

It's too hard for milan to make it happen. Leao was nothing in front of intermilan at this moment. The main concern must be about how intermilan will be facing one of strongest club in the world in final soon. It's caused by milan has been going back to the best performance but it's not yet tested with another strong club from different league. Milan is always losing in this season against intermilan. The previous meetings have been telling us about how strong intermilan for acmilan.
Picking intermilan would become a good decision in the previous match but im not sure about this in upcoming match.

A Crucial game for Manchester City, heading into the Wednesday's second leg game with Madrid. The Ethihad stadium is going to be a strong battle ground for Manchester City, As they have had incredibly a 15 match winning streak at the Etihad Stadium in all compition this season. Having being able to avoid Madrid's beating in their first leg game last week was a bonus. However the defending champions will look forward to frustrate and to ripple City's net, but Guardiola's men will fight hard to go final and to bring home their long overdue European trophy after several attempts made in the previous seasons.

I think it's time table tturn and for us to have a new champion and I believe the game won't go as you predict; don't just expect that City will just stand and watch Madrid tear their net with goes this is going to be one heck of a game.

Few hours to the game let's wait and see what Real Madrid and Manchester City has installed for us, but for now all we can do is predict untill the game commences.

Btw, I believe City are going to do well in this game and probably win, so I'm placing my bet for city to win.

I still struggle to understand how people underrate Madrid in this much.
I understand that Man City is the better team but that doesn't mean they will easily win Madrid, that's if they win at all.
Madrid are used to these kind of pressure. They live for nights like this. Madrid don't need to be the better team before they win these type of games. Last season PSG was a better team than Madrid, Man City was a better team than Madrid, but Madrid won all those matches.
All Madrid needs is hope. As far as their hope is still alive they will be able to hurt you.
Man City needs to bury the chances they get or else they would be the ones crying tonight.
Their basis is, Man City's perfect performance with Haaland. Man City are really changing, they have a better game than last season. They have a chance of qualifying because they play at the Etihad. Although all is not a guarantee, Man City will get away with it easily. My hope is of course that Real Madrid will qualify because I am their supporter. But I understand Real Madrid are under pressure after the draw at the Bernabeu. They need to win if they want to qualify for the final.
Yes, I agree with you, many people underestimate Real Madrid in the second leg, not without a clear reason, apart from what you mentioned. Real Madrid is not only thinking about Haaland. Because Man City has De Bruyne, Gundogan, Mahrez and many others. It might be difficult to stop them because they are doing well this season.

And one more thing, maybe what makes many people believe that Man City will indeed be in leg 2 is in the history of the meeting between Real Madrid vs Man City. It turns out that Real Madrid has never won a match when competing at the Etihad and Carlo Ancelotti has also never won when he came to Etihad.

OK, I know it's history, but I wish things would be different today.
Ancelotti is very confident to win the second leg against Manchester City, so am I. But even if that's fair then I think Manchester City is a candidate who really counts today to win. I don't just hope that the players' confidence and experience are of use, but that they have to really do their best to qualify for the finals.

I know Manchester City were absolute favorites to win at home but somehow Real Madrid came in to win the match and go final. This match will be very tense, but I hope that no player gets sent off during the match.

For the records, AC Milan is more successful club in the UEFA Champions League competition than their city rivals Inter Milan. As matter of fact, AC Milan is the second most successful club in the competion so it's absolutely wrong to say Inter demonstrated seniority. But from what we have seen so far in the semi finals, Inter Milan was a much better team.

Congratulations Inter you qualified for the Final. Inter are very lucky they are underdogs. Even Milan was unable to score a goal. It seems that this week my bets always miss, my chosen team is not friendly to me. I hope Milan make a big surprise second leg. But they didn't learn from the first leg. In addition, Inter's game conditions are slightly better.
About Real Madrid vs Man City. I supported Real Madrid for the final, but it was difficult. I'm not optimistic but I hope Real Madrid can surprise me.   Grin

Ah, I hadn't followed the matches, so in the end Inter managed to reach the final. Honestly, I thought it would be Milan who would reach the goal, and I bet on it. In the end, the team I hate the most won, now based on who wins between
- Real Madrid
- Manchester City
I know who I have to support against Inter

As matter of fact, AC Milan is the second most successful club in the competion so it's absolutely wrong to say Inter demonstrated seniority. But from what we have seen so far in the semi finals, Inter Milan was a much better team.
Inter Milan's current problem now is how to face whoever that'll qualify tonight to play against them between Manchester City and Real Madrid because from every visible evidence, the two teams are more stronger than Inter

the good record obtained by AC Milan in the past just a good memories for us. Actually, this is a great opportunity for AC Milan to return to the UCL Finals after a long absence. Unfortunately, the opportunity was not accompanied by a good performance, Inter continued to prove their dominance against AC Milan. Even though AC Milan has a good history in the UCL, this season AC Milan's appearance is so difficult to be called as a strong team, because they often make blunders. Inter is currently better than AC Milan even Inter also showing us their inconsistency too, and from the results of the quarter-finals, I have doubted AC Milan's chances of qualifying for the final against Inter, and what I'm worry about now is come true.

Personally, I would bet for Madrid, especially with big enough odds, just because they are playing at home to Manchester City doesn't mean Madrid can be underestimated. The bookies tried to play the bet and in the end, I didn't mind losing the bet on this Big Match. An opportunity that we can no longer see, because after the top of the final both Madrid and Manchester City will confidently face Inter.

I still struggle to understand how people underrate Madrid in this much.

That is Madrid, which for some time has become media material to continue to be belittled. But I won't feel weird anymore, because it's quite simple people want to see a new winner, taking over Madrid who have collected 14 trophies is certainly an opportunity for Manchester City fans to maximize in this match with the issue of underestimating Ancelotti's troops.

which team do you personally expect to qualify for the finals today?
The best team will qualify. Manchester City have a very good record in their home ground especially this season where they have not lost any game there, maybe Real Madrid will be the first team to break that this season, we will know tonight. The players of both teams know exactly what is at stake and how dangerous the other team can be, so they will be very attentive in the game not to make mistakes that will give the other team an advantage.

It's hard to be sure, because even though we consider Manchester City good when Manchester City is playing at home, but the opponent Manchester City is facing is not a weak team either. We know that Real Madrid is the king in the Champions League and that certainly makes Real Madrid also have the chance to win in this second leg.

But yes, because Manchester City have been building and preparing their best squad for the Champions League for several seasons, I think this season Manchester City should be able to realize their dream of winning the Champions League title.

One more step I will close the $1 bet with an absolute win from the multibet result. Now we will still be waiting for the results of the semi-final second leg match between Manchester City and Real Madrid which will take place today and I'm pretty sure Real Madrid will win this match. Maybe there really is a sense of doubt considering that Manchester City is so strong at home, but if Real Madrid continues to attack from the early minutes and can score the first goal, it will surely make the mentality of the Manchester City players drop. However if Real Madrid concede first, I think they will still be able to make a comeback no matter what and for sure they will not hesitate to do so as they are close to going to the final against Inter.

Only 1 game left you will win multibet. unfortunately, the probability that Madrid has is very small compared to the probability that City is more favored in this match. because the match was held at the Etihad Stadium, City's headquarters. however, for entertainment it looks like it's pretty fun betting $1.

IMO, I have two scenarios for this fight. In the first scenario, City will win the battle with a landslide score. the second scenario, this fight will end in extra time. well if that happens for the second scenario, I'm not sure if City will win the fight. well, now let's refer to the line-up of the two teams. referring to several sources that I usually read, there are two players who are doubtful to play in this match. for City, Nathan Ake is still in doubt the same status as in the first leg. for Madrid, Camavinga's status is doubtful. despite his starting eleven, he will still be the main starter. for other players, there is no change. both teams are predicted to continue to use the same system as in the first leg. Madrid with a 4-3-3 pattern, City with a 3-2-4-1 pattern.

My guess is, City will play more aggressive than in the first half, they will show their true strength in this fight. well, we'll see how the Madrid defense lines work together. besides that, at the beginning of the match Haaland will only be a player who opens up space for his team. because, Haaland will be marked by several other Madrid players. fatally, a City player would score the opener. On the contrary, as usual what City needs to anticipate is Madrid's counterattack. because every time they do it, it will always endanger the opponent's goal. in this match, I chose City to bet but with the handicap option -1 with odds @1.84. well, let's just enjoy this thrilling match.

I have checked Manchester City the recent records during 2023 and i was found fantastic records for them at home that from total 15 home matches in all competitions since January Manchester City have won all of it which mean they had 100% winning rates with only conceded 7 goals and this records probably makes most people believe Manchester City will be able to beat Real Madrid today

Guardiola has been complaining about premier league schedules because this makes Manchester City have to play at least 2 matches each week and this also caused Manchester City players will feel fatigue and from fitness condition Real Madrid has slightly better because last week on Laliga against Getafe Ancelotti was played some of Madrid reserved players and for this match Manchester City has odds @1.54 and this showed they are the favourite and hopefully Manchester City will showing strong mentally and win this match
I think Manchester City will demonstrate to Real Madrid their mental toughness they are in this game. Manchester City has been winning games since the start of the season, and while I can't guarantee them a victory like you did, I can give them a 95% chance of doing so because real Madrid has also been performing well this season and is different from the other teams they have faced thus far. However, just because this isn't the first leg between the two teams doesn't mean we shouldn't expect them to win.

Despite the fact that I support Manchester City and hope we reach the final today and face Inter, I think we are different from last season, when Manchester City was so careless. However, as we all know, Manchester City performance this season is very good, so for that reason Manchester City will win.
