Today is the day.   
Manchester City taking on Real Madrid, and I'm eagerly waiting to see them.
But, while my head tells me that City has a good chance of winning, there's something about Real Madrid that just makes me think they might take this one.

Interestingly, Real Madrid has the opportunity to achieve what only Barcelona has done before - win three consecutive away Champions League matches in England. But, City will definitely be feeling confident being on their home turf. It's going to be an intense match for sure, and I don't think either team will let the victory slip through their fingers easily. Whether it'll be a Madrid night at Etihad or not, only time will tell.

Inter Milan managed to qualify for the Final very well. They appeared aggressive in attacking the first leg match. so they secured a 2-0 aggregate from the first leg. and then in the second leg Inter Milan was able to carry out a very solid defensive strategy. Even Ac Milan, who came up with an attacking strategy, was unable to tear Inter Milan's defense. And it was Inter Milan who again destroyed Ac Milan's defense and Inter Milan succeeded in increasing the aggregate in the second leg to 3-0. and with this result Inter Milan actually qualified for the final without any significant obstacles. They played comfortably in both legs of the semi-final.

The most surprising thing is that AC Milan currently has a really weak attack. different from the one against Napoli in the quarter-finals. At that time AC Milan's attacks were very sharp and always endangered opponents. but now they are unable to return to their best performance and must end in defeat by Inter Milan in two matches without being able to score even 1 goal in these two matches.

Milan did not show anything yesterday night and was Inter making history as it was the first time they eliminate their eternal rivals in the Champions League.It is also a huge success that they are now exactly 13 years after again in a Champions League final.I know that both Real Madrid and Manchester City are stronger teams than Inter but lately Inter has been playing really good football and most likely they will have a go to at least make the game go to additional time and then to penalties as who knows who wins then.

Leao which all the net and social media were claiming to make a difference could not find a way as Inter played completely different from Napoli yesterday night.

Inter deserved to enter the final because their performance was better than Milan, the victory in the first leg made Inter not have the slightest pressure when serving Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza. Simone Inzaghi was very enthusiastic after his team ensured they progressed to the final smoothly. However, Inzaghi must not get carried away with the euphoria that his team has just won, because the opponent they will face is tougher than the team they just got rid of.

Inter will face off in the final with the winners of the match which will be played at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City and Real Madrid will fight tooth and nail to fill the one remaining spot in the final. Whoever will succeed in winning this match, Inzaghi must be aware of the strength of the opponent that Inter will face, because of the status of the two teams as the top seeds in the elite competition on the blue continent.

Manchester city have the advantage as they’ll be playing at home but Real Madrid have proven many times that they can take points on any foreign soil. For all the quality on show, an the individual brilliance that brings, there are a number of fascinating match-ups which could dictate who will play in the UCL finals. With no doubt Real Madrid’s experience at these stages has shown in recent years. This is the stage of the competition where they come alive, but looking at this Manchester city team and how far they’re been consistent, I feel they will surely win this game at home.

The match between Manchester City vs Real Madrid 2nd leg with an aggregate 1 - 1 will take place in a few hours.
This match will be at the Etihad stadium which is also Manchester City's stadium so this will be Manchester City's home game.
Most likely this time Manchester City will win because they have the advantage of playing at home and also some players I believe can play well.

I bet half of the balance I have on Manchester City, hopefully they can bring satisfactory results.

In the semi-final matches in the Champions League, each match is against equally strong teams. the match between Inter Milan and AC Milan was great and intense Inter Milan won 1-0 to reach the final and the next semi-final match is against Man City and Real Madrid where both teams are very strong. This match is going to be very exciting and the match against Inter in the final may not be as exciting as it will be. Because Inter's opponents in the final, Man City or Real Madrid, are much stronger, so even if Inter can go to the final, according to my prediction, they may not win the final. although it is not guaranteed but it is more likely to happen

Milan have come to this match with big pressure because they have to scores 3 goals or more and after Leao return to play actually Milan performing better if we compare to their performance on first leg but indeed Inter players were very discipline to guarded their defensive lines and it makes Milan players looks difficult to broke the defense of Inter and it also caused why Milan only got 1 shot on target during the match 

And after long wait of 10 years finally Inter can able to reach the final match again and this is very good achievement for Inzaghi because this season Inter is underrated team especially after they were in hell group with Bayern Munich and Barcelona because most people thought Inter can eliminate early but they can prove it to the people and advance to final match and Inter will faced the winner of Manchester City vs Real Madrid and i am sure Inter status will being an underdog again in the final match because on the paper Inter weaker if we compared to Manchester City or Real Madrid

Well it is an interesting story to be honest, but mind you that it does not make them great players just because they were in a team that qualified for the CL final, they are definitely good players anyway, but not great players in that sense. Having said that, congratulations to Inter Milan, they made AC Milan look second best across the two legs, and that's why they were able to get a comfortable 3-0 victory. Inter Milan await the winner of City v Real Madrid tonight, whoever it is that qualifies will be the favorite for the trophy, and Inter the underdog, but i think it favors them because they will play the final under no pressure, which can help them do the unthinkable.

Manchester city vs Real Madrid second leg will be a tough match for the both teams, but Manchester city will embrace victory like the way Inter Milan embraced victory from AC Milan. If Manchester city can draw first leg with Real Madrid in their home, showed that Manchester city will do everything possible within their strategy not to allow Real Madrid to score a single goal from this match because they will like to do what will make the whole world believe that they are stronger than Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid look for draw 0-0 in this match, I don't think Manchester city will allow such thing to happen that will make the match to end up in a penalty shoot out.

As football fans I've few words, the results of the semifinals of the Champions League, there're some surprising outcomes. While Inter Milan advanced to the final, their opponents the Italian side seemed to be playing below their usual competitive standards. AC Milan put up a poor performance, and it was shocking to see that Napoli lost to them. Many fans felt that it should have been Napoli facing off against Inter Milan in the final, as they would have undoubtedly given them a tough challenge.

Nevertheless, it's important to acknowledge the achievement of Inter Milan. They have made it to the Champions League final since 2010, after their clean victory. So, congrats Inter Milan on their well-deserved success. They will face either Man City or Real Madrid, and I'm sure that whoever they play, it will be an exciting match.

Inter Milan's relentless pursuit of excellence has paid off as they reach their first Champions League final since 2010. Inter were made to absorb early pressure as a determined start by Milan ensured the match began at a frenetic pace. But I think they came prepared and were very organized through the game. Across the two legs, Inter always looked in control of the tie. Ac Milan were toothless in the attack, they was not cutting edge in the final third. I expected a lot of goals from them knowing that they lost in 2-0 in the first leg. They were unfortunate in both legs and now Inter awaits for either Real Madrid or Manchester City in the finals.

Congrats for Inter Milan success lead to Champion League final season 2022/23, its been nice moment waiting for by Inter's fans because the last final stage season 2010/11 under Jose Mourinho era and success winning Champion League after defeating Bayern Munich. No doubt with Inter has quit well performance than Milan in in four meetings this season Inter win all matches between domestic league and Champion League.

Special for Simone Inzaghi because first time his head coach career success lead to final stage, he failed first season with Inter and never participants in Champion League when becoming Lazio's head coach, one step closer for Simone Inzaghi make history with first Champion League tittle as head coach and waiting the against team on final between Real Madrid or Manchester City.

What a great game from intermilan. Intermilan had really good performance during the first and second leg. It's now officially qualified for the final of UCL.

There's also interesting fact




I remember that when so many MU fans were blaming all of them anytime as failed transfers for manchester united. They have proven if they can change to be better players when they get more and more chances to play.

It's caused by the development takes the time. It will not able to be done in a day or even a few hours.

Intermilan changes all of them to be the great players. What an unbelievable day for intermilan.

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.

AC Milan started this semi final with big pressure from their defeat with two goal difference in a first leg. They even did not have a best of Rafael Leao because of injury and he only recovered shortly before the match. It impacts AC Milan attacking power but the match could be different if AC Milan score at least one goal in early of first half. If they have one goal in a first half, the match will become more opened for AC Milan.

Diego Milito was not a world class striker before that season. He got a transfer from Genoa to Inter Milan and under Mourinho well management, Diego made a history for himself and for Inter Milan. It is a best season in career of Diego Milito but who needs too many great seasons. If you can have only one but enough to win Champions League, it is a very big achievement.

In this season, Inter Milan have Lautaro Martinez who returned from a successful World Cup 2022 with Argentina. This season can be a very memorial successful season for Lautaro but he must win another match with Inter Milan in Champions League.

Inter Milan are different than AC Milan as they are more connected with Argentinian players and AC Milan have more favorite and success with Brazilian players.

Didn't watch the match, but judging from the statistics it's very true that AC Milan didn't perform well enough this time, maybe even it could be said that their first match performed much better, I think AC Milan will not face high difficulties because they have played so many matches that they can know exactly the strengths and weaknesses of each. AC Milan only had 5 shots and only 1 was on target, so this was really a very weak performance, and couldn't even score a goal.

Congratulations to Inter Milan, who will have the opportunity to repeat the feat they achieved more than a decade ago by becoming champions, it's very rare to see a team that doesn't often to reach the champions league final, I'm sure Inter Milan will not waste this opportunity, and maybe the final will be the same as they experienced where they are not the favorites to win, but can surprise by beating Bayern Munich who were the favorites at the time with two goals from Diego Milito.

Another semifinal match will be held today, whoever will face Inter in the final later, can't underestimate Inter, even though from the start it wasn't what was predicted to be able to get to the final but Inter appeared convincing enough to beat their opponents, I'm sure Inter can get to the final not because they get opponents that can be said to be relatively easy compared to other teams who are fighting for the final but because they can answer doubts about their appearance, they often don't appear consistently in the domestic league but in this tournament, they were able to focus and make it to the final.

Inter wasn't in a hurry in their encounter against their neighbors talking about AC Milan, it was a brotherly battle between both clubs and the better side won. I was hoping to see a bone to bone battle with goals but knowing how their rivalry are It only has to produce just a Goal.
AC Milan came with all they had with them but they never came with enough scoring machine even with the return of Leao R, there wasn't still anything they could do to get a goal to give them that little hope of staying in the Champions league or securing the ticket to the finals. I was expecting a 1-2 win over Inter because I saw the AC Milan team causing much damage than the Inter side, well they [Inter] got the spot to the finals after 13 years, is really a celebration day for Internazionale.

Who would've thought that Inter play the best football in Italian teams in Champions League?
Now they got the final ticket. It's interesting that Hakan Çalhanoğlu will play final in İstanbul. Maybe his opponent will be İlkay Gündoğan, another Turkish descent player.
