Everthing looks under control for Inter that on Serie A they can able to win from Sassuolo and finally Inter can overtake Lazio position on 3rd and in this competition everybody knows Inter have already win with 2-0 aggregate and they have good chances to qualified but the opposite conditions for Milan that because some of their players got injured Milan have to lose against weak team Spezia
As a host Inter will being an the favourite again and Inter will playing with all of their key players today because it is confirmed there were no injured players for Inter main squad and for Milan Rapael Leao has a potention will be played today and if this news is true it can boosted their strength because we all know without Leao Milan seems very hard to win but Ismael Bennacer will not in the squad
If Milan want to qualified they have to scores 3 goals or at least 2 goals without conceded if they want to pushed this match ended with penalty kick and seems this is very hard task especially Milan still have a problem with their consistency moreover if we look at to recent meetings records from both teams Inter can able to win 3 times with cleansheet in all competitions so in my opinion Inter will resumes their winning streak from Milan and win the match and Inter win has odds @2.15

Manchester City are favoured by bookmakers by a huge odd difference right now. The game is going to be played in Etihad in the end which is the most effective factor in that of course. But still this is some underestimation for Real Madrid at the same time. We all watched the first leg and Real Madrid did a pretty good job despite being under pressure for a while.
Ancelotti wouldn't make any change in his strategies in my opinion. I expect the same from Guardiola but he just needs to prepare Haaland better for this game.
To be honest Real Madrid is just a different team when it comes to the UCL and they play really well under pressure. I don't take it as a advantage Manchester city will be hosting them at Etihad. Real Madrid have mentality monsters and they know exactly how Manchester city will approach this game. Ancelotti only has one or two dilemmas going into the second leg against Manchester City, but if he wants to change the game, it might get a little trickier. Ancelotti wouldn't make any change in his strategies in my opinion. I expect the same from Guardiola but he just needs to prepare Haaland better for this game.
Haaland was effectively neutralized by Rudiger, and Benzema and Vinicius showed more composure with the ball compared to City players. I don't see any exceptional qualities from their recent match. Even if we consider their domestic league performance, Real Madrid were in a similar state prior to the first leg and they played well as any other team would have done if given the opportunity.
I also read how Rudiger stated things that were not much different from what you said, that Manchester City in attack is not as strong or as dangerous as imagined, as a player, of course, he knows the real situation on the field and how the comparison between his Real Madrid club and his opponent's club really is. However, it could be that his statement is just saying war to bring down the mentality of City's players in the second match later, and Real Madrid under any circumstances cannot be underestimated when it is the champions league tournament they always have good statistics in this big tournament, indeed they cannot always champion because the competition here is indeed very tight but any strong club will realize how difficult it is to bring down Real Madrid in the champions league.This season, Real Madrid is not as strong as in previous seasons when referring to the results of the domestic league compared to Manchester City, but their experience can always help to get out under all the pressure that might be an obstacle for Madrid if the news is about some of their core players not being able to play is true then it will probably reduce their performance, and Ancelotti must implement a strategy that can lead them to still get to the final otherwise Manchester City will go to the final and against Inter Milan whose chances of qualifying are greater than AC Milan.
And City is quite far the favorite in this second match compared to Real Madrid, it is very understandable because the home factor and also other assessments really make City seem to be superior to their opponents later, but surprises may occur and that is always what football fans look forward to.

It makes sense because Manchester City have many star players, have good form recently and will be a host of this semi final.Quote

Underestimate Real Madrid in Champions League is big mistake. They prove it many times that they are actual champions in Champions League. If any big club in Europe underestimate Real Madrid, they will have to pay very expensive cost. Especially with players they have now, Real Madrid are still one of strongest clubs in Champions League in player quality.Coach, Carlo Ancelotti is one of most successful coaches in Champions League history, better than Pep Guardiola.

Ancelotti has his style to give players as most freedom as possible when they are playing.

As a passionate Manchester City fan, You should completely understand my desire for our team to win. The draw in the game against Real Madrid does present some challenges for us. While Real Madrid would have preferred a victory, the draw gives them a chance to capitalize on counter-attacking opportunities with their fast players like Vinicius Junior.
With just a few matches left for both clubs, playing a draw game won't be a good and appropriate outcome for both clubs, and I don't predict a possible draw either, what may likely to happen could be a full-time draw, but with the extra time comes the chance of any of the club to make a goal score and from that point, the opposition may not be able to equalize the goal. I know there are going to be low goal scores in the match since it's semi-final and between two giants in the championship only the team with the luck will eventually win the match, but I don't see any possible draw game.
I actually have doubts about Real Madrid next game against City and if Rudiger snatched a good victory against Haaland , I'm sure Haaland will have something to say about this and maybe even score two goals on them because even if I'm not fan of City at all , this team really looks unbeatable this year in UCL and the fact that they obtain a draw on Bernabeu might be just enough. 
They look unbeatable in the English Premier League and if you sincerely watched the first leg, think Madrid had to score first and Manchester City now found a way to equalize. All I know about City is that recently, they haven't gone to Champions League with a weak team. They are always in their best form and always the best team but the atmosphere of semi finals and finals is what City is not used to.They could suffer defeat against Madrid if Vinicius Junior should replicate what he did in the first leg and also Rudiger is able to mark out Haaland.
Real Madrid is indeed a very strong and experienced team. There is no doubt about it. They have the ability to defeat any opponent. But the Manchester City team is very strong in home matches. The overall performance of the players is very strong because they are confident. This is why Manchester City will be favorites in the home match. But the match will be very competitive. Last season we also saw Manchester City win their home match 4-3. Both teams scored 7 goals in this match. So hopefully the next match will also be very competitive and both teams will be able to score several goals.
Yes but even though Real Madrid would of course have preferred to win the game against Manchester City, the draw is still some kind of backdoor for them. Manchester City, if they don't want to end up in a penalty shootout and that is certainly not their goal, has to score and for that they have to open up at times in their defense and push forward. These attacks will give Real Madrid room of opportunity to score themselves with their fast players like Vinicius Junior. They can play excellent counter attacks as we have seen in the first leg when Benzema played world class short passing with his teammates and made it into the box and almost got the shot on target. It is a soccer festival that we are going to see.
Benzema, Rodrygo and Alaba all are injured now and will not play against Manchester City as it seems. This must be a huge disappointment for Real Madrid. Because they are all critical players for Real Madrid now. Benzema and Rodrygo are already very important in the attacking line but now they will nearly completely rely on Vinicius Junior from now on. Ancelotti will use the same strategy again as it seems.
Now I don't see the same injury information on the same website. It is really unbelievable.
I wonder why they do this sometimes because this is causing people to make their betting choices according to that. Not all people are waiting on the last day to bet on something in the end. They showed it like it was certain for all these three players that they weren't going to play.Anyway in this case there is no problem for Real Madrid. They are still strong now and they are coming to get what they want for sure. Manchester City are technically the closest side to advance on paper. But they need to get ahead of the same thing to happen again in Etihad. They had better have a dominance earlier in the match and capture a good advantage already. Or this match can be much tougher than they expect.
If no miracle happens with Real Madrid then I think that Real Madrid has no hope of securing victory in the semi finals. Because Manchester City will never perform poorly at home and this is the semi-final of the Champions League. In addition, Manchester City showed a great performance in Real Madrid's field. All things considered, Manchester City's chances of securing victory are high.
To be honest the chances of the two clubs winning the league is kind of equal to me, I know Real Madrid will be visiting Manchester City in their home this time around and Manchester City will want to make use of the home advantage, the greatest mistake Real Madrid made is playing draw against Manchester City in the first leg of the match, if they won the match with maybe a goal difference, then I know it will be difficult for Manchester City, but now they played draw and the only thing Manchester City need in their next match against Real Madrid is just a goal difference and am sure they will do everything possible to get it, but Real Madrid shouldn’t be underestimated also, we shouldn’t just conclude that Manchester City is going to win the match yet. Why is Real Madrid's faith wavering while Manchester City gains momentum? I fail to understand. Are you judging based on their performance in their domestic league or the outcome of their last match? If it weren't for Real Madrid that allowed them to score, we all know that Manchester City was lacking in the previous game. Haaland was effectively neutralized by Rudiger, and Benzema and Vinicius showed more composure with the ball compared to City players. I don't see any exceptional qualities from their recent match. Even if we consider their domestic league performance, Real Madrid were in a similar state before the first leg and they played well as any other team would have done if given the opportunity.
But in all of this, Manchester City have been favoured to be the best. Chosen for the possible double trophy in both English leagues this season.

Many football fans are already predicting a double trophy for Manchester City in the season, seeing their possible retaining of the EPL title and lifting the cup in the championship if Real Madrid gives them the chance.

For tomorrow's match, Inter vs Milan is the first. Inter will probably win the second leg as well as securing ticket to the final. Inter are the favorites after taking a 2-goal lead in the first leg, but I hope Milan can give their best in the second leg tomorrow.
The Derby della Madonnina is always an intriguing and emotionally charged fixture, and tomorrow's match promises to be no exception. Many are wondering if Milan will mount a comeback, and as someone who relishes seeing teams overcome a two-goal deficit in the Champions League, I am eager to see if they can do it again.Indeed, history has shown that many teams have successfully mounted comebacks after losing by two goals in the first leg of a match. If Milan can summon the spirit to mount a comeback, tomorrow's game will be highly charged with emotion.
However, Inter Milan are currently in excellent form, and I feel more secure placing my bets on them for tomorrow's match.
I don't want to be overly confident but I'm sure everyone agrees with me that manchester city is much better now than last season, they will play more pressing at Etihad at home because usually manchester city will play well at home. waiting for Inter milan in the final later
I do agree with it. Haaland was changing everything in the club. The came of haaland was also making manchester city become even stronger than before. Im very glad to see that city has been evolving this much but let's see whether it will able to beat real madrid in the second leg or not. Manchester city has become favorite in the second leg and it's caused by city has very good record in the second leg.
This meant that against Real Madrid they tried as a whole team but looked for Haaland a lot, and that was usually not an option because Rudiger covered him so tightly and they needed to adjust accordingly. That's good and all but they need to make sure that they can do better next time. If nothing else, he cancels out a defense, they can abuse that and get someone else to score, just like de bruyne did. And what a goal that was, I am sure he must felt so happy after all the drama on their personal life.
Real Madrid understood that if they can stop Haaland, they will be having the upper hand over Manchester City. But after the first leg City also understands that. So Manchester City is also going to adapt accordingly. I am sure some changes will be made so that Manchester City can keep Haaland free when they need him.
De Bruyne either has to forget about the personal life so that he can concentrate better on football or he can also use that as motivation. I hope he will be able to use that as motivation. Because honestly there is no motivation like this.
There is no official news yet, but I hope it doesn't happen. They are the main actors Madrid striker. Indeed, they were not included in the list of players against Getafe, maybe Anceloti deliberately rested them. My hope is they can play with full players. Madrid always struggle if Benzema is absent. They must now focus on the UCL to win and get three trophies this season.
Benzema is the soul of Real Madrid's attack line this season and Vinicius too. I think Ancelotti only rested him against Getafe, he needs rest even though his sharpness needs to be honed every game. If Madrid are not reinforced by Benzema in the second leg, I think the chance for Manchester City to beat them is really big.For tomorrow's match, Inter vs Milan is the first. Inter will probably win the second leg as well as securing ticket to the final. Inter are the favorites after taking a 2-goal lead in the first leg, but I hope Milan can give their best in the second leg tomorrow.
I can't find any news about Karim Benzema if he can play in the champions league against Manchester City or not but all I know is the second game won't be easy for Ancelotti because if they play without Benzema they won't have strong attacks in the same and this can be a reason for us to say Manchester City can have more chance.
We will see that. I thought that if ancelotti may be giving surprise before the match against manchester city. it's caused by manchester city becomes the strongest opponent that must be beaten by real madrid. I hope that there will be a confirmation from the club regarding his condition right now. We really needs him to play in the club. It will be a disaster for real madrid to play against city without him and rodrygo as these guys were good combination along with vini as winger.
I don't even know how good the attacking lines of real madrid without all of them. Benzema may surprisingly come back against manchester city.
I think that ancelotti will be informing it before the match against city. I meant in the interview before the match.
Benzema will be played, otherwise it is disastrous for Madrid. I think what you should know is, the combination of, Benzema, Vini Jr, and Rodrygo. these 3 players understand each other, meaning that chemistry is very well established and this is one of Madrid's strengths. Another strength, Madrid has a combination of player to player when in the opponent's defense area. whether it's Vini Jr, Benzema, Rodry, also a combination with midfielders like Modric and Kroos. plus, sometimes Camavingga or Valverde. they do so with quick rotations, which in the end always cause trouble for their opponent's defense.
We can see this, when Madrid had momentum in the first leg even though only a few times. especially if Benzema and Vini Jr. are playing with their best performance. it will be difficult for any team, to stop these two players.
Now we are talking in the second leg match, their opponent is a team that has a system that is difficult to break. plus, inhabited by quality players. so, it will be difficult for Madrid to win the second leg easily. that means, they must mobilize all the capabilities they have as well as Don Carlo must prepare another strategy. because, the probability of City is greater than Madrid.
The bookies seem quite confident that Manchester City will qualify for the final and also that they will win the title. If they win the final, they are indeed a heavy favorite against probably Inter Milan. But Inter Milan, where should we put them at the moment? They are in a good flow and have played the entire Italian top in the last games of the field. I would rather see a final between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, but I really wish Guardiola his first title with City. Many football experts say that City - Madrid is a 50-50 match.
Most of the time Bookies hype things for their own sack so in this case also happen with as most of the pundits are still feeling both teams having equal chance for the qualifying into final bookies are trying to cover their loses as well because right now as Manchester City is performing most chances they will win and also have title into their pocket as well with double is surely going to be amazing for the Guardiola and his team.But, Real Madrid is also having history of unpredictable results as many times they shattered hearts of many peoples for their own wins so can they do this again it's big question mark right now but most chances we will have Manchester City vs Inter into final for this season.
Real Madrid's known for chasing the finals, but hey, Manchester City's just as hungry! They're killing it in the Premier League and against Real Madrid. It's like they've got a secret winning strategy!
Indeed, football is where the miraculous unfolds, and legends emerge. Real Madrid may strive valiantly, but they're up against a team with laser-focused eyes on the Champions League prize. It's a colossal showdown, and the exhilaration is sky-high!

With the poor performance achieved by Milan in the domestic league, it will certainly affect their confidence in the semi-final second leg against Inter. I can't understand why Milan is having a bad performance when they are falling behind Inter. The thing that makes me sure is that this time Inter are much better and maybe we won't see a strong resistance from Milan in the second leg later.
Inter can be sure of qualifying for the final with what they currently have and Milan still has to fix the mistakes that exist if they don't want to embarrass their fans. But if later Milan can equalize the aggregate score then that will open up a little hope for them to qualify for the final, but I don't put a 100% chance that it can happen.
I'm not going to say that Ac milan won't be able to level their gap to Inter Milan, but it's not an easy task for them to do. 2 goals is the number of goals that will be difficult to score if the opponent appears with a good defense. Because I think here Inter Milan will focus more on their defense and try to play it safe, because now they only need a draw to put themselves in the final.Inter can be sure of qualifying for the final with what they currently have and Milan still has to fix the mistakes that exist if they don't want to embarrass their fans.
