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.
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. 
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.
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.I think Manchester City's busy schedule will cost them a lot. Pep Guardiola has hinted that his players are very tired because they didn't have much time to rest after last weekend's match. That is inversely proportional to the condition and fitness of the Real Madrid players, I mean Benzema and several other players have had enough rest and did not play the match against Getafe. This is one of them, but still Manchester City are a strong team.
Starting a match with a revenge intention will not be good. The coach and players will have barriers which are made up of their own pressure that is unnecessary to exist. The past season completed and nobody can revert the time but in this season, Manchester City again come closely to a final match.
They will have a second semi final to beat Real Madrid and have a final match to play. Revenge or not, it is not a big matter with them. If not Real Madrid, they will face with another club and have to beat any opponent to win their first Champions League.
I think the coach and the players have no intention of revenge but for the coach, they will implement their best strategy for the players, of course, they will be creative while the game is in progress and how can they create then they will have a great opportunity.They will have a second semi final to beat Real Madrid and have a final match to play. Revenge or not, it is not a big matter with them. If not Real Madrid, they will face with another club and have to beat any opponent to win their first Champions League.
Last season Manchester City were thwarted by Real Madrid and now they meet again, of course, there will be a presumption from the fans for revenge at the Etihad Stadium but for sure the game has to be interesting they will surely be excited.
In a first leg, Kyle Walker constrained Vinicius very well and he will have a big task to repeat it. As Vinincius is a main attacking power of Real Madrid and if he can not perform well because of Walker, Real Madrid will lose majority of their attacking power.
It needs to be closely guarded that Vinicius is a player who looks at bringing the ball forward to help Madrid's attack, the defender is especially tough, especially Walker, he has to return to early play in the first leg.Maybe Pep Guardiola will tighten up his defense again to anticipate attacks from Real Madrid.
Because I am sure that in the first leg he controlled the ball, so it is possible that in the second leg Manchester City will surpass possession again, it's just that it's the counterattack that becomes his vigilance.
Yes, I agree that Man City vs Real Madrid is not about mentality, but about who can control the game until the end of the match. Of course Man City must learn from last season's mistakes, only because they were careless in the last 10 minutes Man City, who had already won 2 aggregate goals, finally lost because Real Madrid made a comeback.
Carelessness may not happen again this season for Manchester City, because Manchester City also had a very bitter experience in the previous season when they were careless. And today I'm sure Manchester City will play very well and be careful in order to get good results without being careless, moreover Manchester City will play at the Etihad Stadium today and they certainly don't want to be embarrassed by Real Madrid through poor results.Quote
The Man City vs Real Madrid match is difficult to predict, Man City is very ambitious to win the UCL with the world's top coaches and extraordinary players. Real Madrid is also very ambitious because it's the only trophy that can still be obtained with a coach who is full of experience as well as the players who have a winning mentality and the club also has a long history in the UCL league.
The match that will take place today will probably be very fierce and the match that the fans of these two teams have been waiting for. In addition, the match in the second leg is also a determination to go to the final and face Inter Milan who have already qualified for the final yesterday. Even though it is generally difficult to predict, which team do you personally expect to qualify for the finals today? 
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.

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.
Simeon Inzaghi beats Stefano Pioli to his test with improved game strategy. We witnessed one of the toughest rival between both clubs in UCL. Inter Milan mean business, they played and conquered with desperate actions. AC Milan dominated the game, let's just say they were unlucky in both legs of the semi-finals, failing to score a single goal against Inter, the strategy of the Nerazzurri was extremely magnificent, giving clean sheet against their pro eminent rival. The best team proceeds to the final.
I didn't look at it as coach vs. coach, I looked as a team vs. team and the side that played better was Inter in both games. Especially their excellent start in the first match gave the signal how this round would end. After Milan conceded those 2 goals, morale collapsed and couldn't recover. I didn't expect them to make a comeback in the return match, which they didn't show such a presence. Inter deservedly went to the final. I don't think they're going to win the trophy, but anything can happen in 90 minutes in one game. I'm happy to see a different team in the final. I wish I could go to the final game, but the tickets will be very expensive.
if you look at the statistics of some of Manchester City's matches this season it is indeed very good but the opponent they are facing now is Real Madrid and in the semifinals of the UCL, here it is not just performance but the team's mentality and confidence will have a big influence.

Manchester City will indeed be highly favored to win the match but I think anything is still possible and in my opinion both teams have the same chance.
it will be very difficult to predict.

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.
Real Madrid - 5.60
Man City - 1.56
I'm not really surprised here.
I predicted a draw or low-scoring in the first leg and I think it will not be a different story this time. I know that's an unpopular opinion right now but RM is more focused on winning this tournament since La Liga now belongs to Barca. They can go all out so it doesn't really which stadium they are playing. The match could be settled in over-time. Penalties if we get lucky hehe.
a draw or a narrow score is very logical because this is a battle between the two best European teams at the moment.Man City - 1.56
I'm not really surprised here.

Manchester City is favored by the betting exchange because of their very consistent performance so far, but Real Madrid on the Champions League stage should not be underestimated.
even though it is very risky, I try to be lucky with very tempting odds.
choosing to bet on Real Madrid's victory with odds @ 5.60 is not bad even I see this as a good opportunity to take a lot of profit.
Real Madrid - 5.60
Man City - 1.56
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.Man City - 1.56
I'm not really surprised here.
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.
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

~Snip~
Real Madrid saved o most all of their players in their last game in the laliga so they can be ready for Man City match,they are looking solid but to beat Man City at home you need to be on an expert level,plus Man City will be more cautious this time because of what happened last year.
The two coaches have prepared a strategy to win the match, they also really understand the strength of the opposing team. Fluency in attack is more in favor of Manchester City, their goal productivity is also very good in the 5 matches that have been passed. Even so, football has things that can ruin a coach's plans, it's worth looking forward to this game as both teams want to win the match to reach the final.
When Pep Guardiola was asked by reporters after the first leg of the first leg of Manchester City's dramatic loss to Real Madrid in last season's dramatic semi-final defeat to Real Madrid last season, did you think Real Madrid would be in the next Champions League semi-final? There will be a chance to take revenge against you.
In response to this question, Pep Guardiola said revenge is not a big deal, we will only play to win and our dream will be the UCL final.
For the coach and players this match is not a revenge match but for Manchester City fans this match is a tough revenge match. Now it is to be seen how much Real Madrid can perform at the Etihad Stadium against the loud noise of Manchester City fans.

In a first leg, Kyle Walker constrained Vinicius very well and he will have a big task to repeat it. As Vinincius is a main attacking power of Real Madrid and if he can not perform well because of Walker, Real Madrid will lose majority of their attacking power.
Manchester City's performance this season is very extraordinary, Pep Guardiola's team seems to have no significant shortcomings. I am more championed Manchester City than the defending champion.
They have a last few matches in this season to win three titles and in history, only one club in England did it. They are Manchester United with Sir. Alex Ferguson many years ago. It is interesting if a second club get it is another club from Manchester. 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

I also see Manchester City good record at home, with that record they have a big chance of qualify for the final and against Inter, although I want Real Madrid to qualify for the final but tonight match will be very tough for them. Also right now although the Manchester City players are tired but at home they will get support by their fans to win, I also see the current odds Manchester City are the favorites so I'm sure they will win, but I hope Real Madrid can make a surprise in that match.

The second leg of the Semi Final between Manchester City vs Real Madrid will certainly be a hotter match. And as usual, the meeting of these two strong teams always brings a strong atmosphere that makes those of us who watch it feel like we are watching the final match. Whichever team wins I will respect that a lot. But I will bet on Manchester City this time.
Each leg of the semi-final felt like we were watching the UCL final. The first leg match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was just so exciting. Overshadowing the excitement of that match, we noticed the most excitement in the match between AC Milan and Inter Milan. The on-field security guards were very strict on the field as we usually see in UCL finals. Perhaps the more fighting match today is going to be between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Today's exciting match may have never happened in a UCL finalI personally am not a fan of Manchester City but still I was carried away by curiosity about the results of the match between these two strong teams. And I personally stand on Manchester City's side for this fight. Because I want to see Manchester City qualify for the final and I also hope they can lift the UCL trophy for the first time.
In the first leg, Haaland didn't seem to be able to do much on the field. And I think that in this match there will definitely be a change in strategy and I really want to see Haaland again playing freely and showing his superiority, who is always hungry for goals.
In response to this question, Pep Guardiola said revenge is not a big deal, we will only play to win and our dream will be the UCL final.
For the coach and players this match is not a revenge match but for Manchester City fans this match is a tough revenge match. Now it is to be seen how much Real Madrid can perform at the Etihad Stadium against the loud noise of Manchester City fans.
Real Madrid - 5.60
Man City - 1.56
I'm not really surprised here.
Yeah consider manchester city is always winning with lots of scores in etihad and that odds was actually make sense for city against real madrid. That will be so amazing if real madrid can do comeback in etihad stadium against city. Man City - 1.56
I'm not really surprised here.
The real test will start soon. I wonder what new strategy that being prepared by ancelotti to face city in etihad stadium.
I predicted a draw or low-scoring in the first leg and I think it will not be a different story this time. I know that's an unpopular opinion right now but RM is more focused on winning this tournament since La Liga now belongs to Barca. They can go all out so it doesn't really which stadium they are playing. The match could be settled in over-time. Penalties if we get lucky hehe.
Playing away or home doesn't matter a lot for real madrid. It has become a test for their mentality. Real madrid has also played a match against manchester city in etihad last year. Real madrid was just repeating last year's memory.
I hope that benzema, rodrygo and vini will able to win against madrid. I don't care so much about how many goals will be conceding by madrid. As long as madrid win and that's enough.
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

Manchester City will indeed be highly favored to win the match but I think anything is still possible and in my opinion both teams have the same chance.
it will be very difficult to predict.
Interesting statistic, but for the match tonight, it will have no meaning.
In my opinion, Real and Manchester City are the two best teams in Europe right now and their duels will probably mark the next decade.
Both teams are strong and ready to win the Champions League this season, and I give a slight advantage to Real because of their experience and the fact that the Manchester City players will be under a lot more pressure.
I don't expect many goals and a nice game, and most likely one goal will decide.
Realistically, this is the final before the final and Inter in the final against Real or Manchester City has very little chance.
