Fans or supporters at the time of the match also indirectly put mental pressure on the players with the sound of their voices, that may be the reason why playing at home is an advantage, and also comfort when playing on the field because they are more used to the situation on the field, Manchastee City is the favorite and there will definitely be a lot of supporters, but I also don't deny that Real Madrid were not the kids yesterday afternoon who played in that situation, especially the CL match, they have a lot of experience and have gone through various conditions when playing away games and I think around the Etihad stadium there will also be many who support Real Madrid.
Until now, I can't predict who will win because a coach like Anceloti is not an easy opponent for Pep.


Yes, indeed people think the same as you, taking into account the results of the Manchester city matches recently, but you also need to look at Real Madrid, who have a complete squad as well and they have brilliant experience in various leagues, of course, with that Madrid has many strategies that you can rely on when fighting a team that is on the rise.

Real Madrid will have to play very carefully in the field of Manchester City. Because Man City is expected to perform best at their home ground and since the ground is City's, the team will have some advantage.

Real are not as good away from home as they are at home, are you sure about that?
If I remember correctly, they recently played against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup and in the first game in Madrid they lost 1:0 against Barcelona, but in return they beat Barcelona 4:0 
Top teams like Real or Manchester City don't care where they play, and in return in Manchester I expect a completely uncertain and open match, with equal chances for both clubs.
The Real players managed to completely stop Haaland in the first game, and if they do that in return, they have a good chance to beat Manchester and qualify for the new final of the Champions League.

At the Etihad, City is a very dangerous team, if I'm not mistaken, they have only failed to win twice in the whole season and Real Madrid is not as strong away as at home. In addition, City score a lot especially at home and I think that in the second leg they will be able to score 2-3 goals against Real. I hope Guardiola will be able to play in the Champions League final this year, he has long deserved this victory.

I think Real Madrid will not be able to secure victory at Manchester City ground. Because Manchester City has been able to perform amazingly in the field of Real Madrid. As such, Manchester City will play with the best in their field.

Manchester City Vs Real Madrid is unpredictable as mentioned, It might not be as easy as it was last season for Madrid where they did a strong turn around in the second leg of the CL semi-finals to win Manchester City by aggregate. If City could equalise at  Santiago Bernabéu in their first meeting this season then anything is possible in the second leg. Luck could just favour one side which has happened severally in football considering that both sides are actually good.

Manchester city and Real Madrid game remains unpredicted, even if it will be played in the home of Manchester City is not a guarantee that Manchester City will be the winner of game.  Real Madrid are very tough and winning is not too hard for them . The second leg may still end up like the first leg.

Manchester City successfully got an equalizer in Madrid and will return to Etihad with a mission to win it to have a slot in final match. At least they did not lose a first leg in Madrid and it helps them to have less pressure at Etihad stadium. That equalizer goal can be very important for Manchester City but only if they can win in a second leg.

Real Madrid have enough skill, spirit and experience to do that at Etihad. They have very good combination of skillful, experienced players and young players with lot of strength, energy and motivation to climb up in their career. So Real Madrid will come to Etihad without fear, they will come there to beat Manchester City.

10 years ago, if anyone say with Galaticos 2.0, Real Madrid can win 5 Champions League with them, it's unrealistic. Now they have 5 Champions League titles already and are very close to their six Champions League final match.

maybe as a fan or someone who doesn't know the original of this match will favor Man City just because playing at the Etihad Stadium which provides a slightly more certain chance just because the fans give enthusiasm, but doesn't Real Madrid also have fans who will watch there live?
so to me it just doesn't make sense just because their fans were able to put in an amazing performance against Man City.
and on the other hand we also have to consider how strong Real Madrid is in the history of the champions league which provides a great opportunity to also be able to continue to the final round.
to be honest even though Man City had success in recent weeks but I still chose Real Madrid to win.

Manchester city no doubt have the upper hand seeing that they would have the home crowd as an advantage but this can still not count when against the prolific Real Madrid side that probably know how to get a way around this particular round of the champions league. It won't be any surprise if am to see real Madrid knock Manchester city out of the competition because they have all the potentials and tactics to actually win Manchester city in this game despite the fact Manchester city would even be playing at home.

Actually you are right AC Milan is not able to perform very well at the moment. Inter Milan is performing much better than AC Milan. And in the first leg, Inter Milan secured the victory in a great way. If this performance is performed, I hope that the second leg will ensure the victory of Inter Milan and reach the final of the Champions League.

AC Milan is currently looking worse, even in Serie A they have to be humiliated by Spezia who is ranked 18th, really it is a result that will make their morality drop. How could it not be, when they really needed a win to get closer to the top 4, they actually lost to a team that was not the seed in this match. And it will be even more of a tough task for them in the Champions League trailing by 2 goals on aggregate.

The possibility of Manchester City beating Real Madrid in the second leg is very open, Manchester City's form of play which is always stable and unbeaten record in 10 home games is a good capital when hosting Real Madrid at the Etihad stadium.
Before the match vs Real Madrid started, Manchester City visited Everton headquarters first. Guardiola will rotate in several positions to maintain players' fitness against Real Madrid, apart from that Guardiola needs to direct players to keep the movements of Vinicius and Benzema who often threaten the opponent's goal.
Manchester City also needs to increase their attacks and take advantage of opportunities to pay for failure at the Bernabeu, capital of home wins in the last 10 matches in all competitions encourage Manchester City players to win to advance to the final.

I don't see any possibility AC Milan will win with 2 goals difference behind Inter Milan because AC Milan recently lose 0-2 against Spezia in Serie A, Spezia is currently at 18th position which is in regelation zone. Spezia haven't win in the last 8 matches except AC Milan, it show how bad AC Milan is.

However the odds for Inter Milan to win is quite high for @2.05 in the second leg, this is really a worthy bet.

Real Madrid have very good record to win in aggregated result if they have a draw in a first leg. They won it 8 times and lost 2 times so they are very strong as history shows.

A last season is magic for Real Madrid and we saw that they are strong when playing at their home stadium or home away stadium. Playing at an opponent's stadium is stressful for many clubs but with Real Madrid and players they have now, they can deal with such pressure so well.

AC Milan have serious troubles after losing 0 -2 at the first leg and if Rafael Leao won't be able to play in a second leg, they will have very small chance to make a comeback. Inter Milan are playing very well with counter attacking and they are very dangerous with this tactics. With good result from a first leg, Inter Milan will have perfect chance to play with their favorite tactic in a second leg.

It goes without saying that Real Madrid are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League final. They drew the home match. Winning an away match is a bit difficult but not impossible. Real Madrid is a very experienced team. Last season we saw Real Madrid make a great comeback against Manchester City after losing the first leg. I will not be shocked if the same thing happens again. However, between Inter Milan and AC Milan, Inter Milan has the best chance of qualifying for the final. They are leading 2-0. Also AC Milan team is not in good form now. The team also lost the last match against Spezia.

I think it is still too early to decide which teams will play in the Champions league finals. Inter Milan might have a better advantage in their tie with AC Milan but it is different for Manchester City because it isn't over until the final whistle after 90minutes of the second leg. I still have high hopes that Real Madrid will end up victorious in the end to qualify to the finals.

With Inter current advantage they have secured their position going into the final. The result of the 1st leg was very important for Milan because they were playing at home but now they have lost that chance. But remember that both of them only have 1 stadium up for grabs. If we know the history of San siro Inter and Milan claim the same place. So playing at home to Inter will not be much different as if playing at Milan itself.

Back to leg 2, of course Inter can still take advantage of Milan's unstable game due to the loss of several important players. In Leg 2, inevitably, Milan will spend all the strength it has to slightly reduce the impossibility. There's still a chance if they don't commit the same sloppiness as the defense let down their guard and feel Inter threat is harmless.

Real Madrid are used to semi-final conditions and even though they are playing at Manchester City that doesn't mean they have to see them not showing optimal performance. Even though there are indeed several advantages because Pep Guardiola will make several rotational changes in terms of attack, now it is possible that Haaland will be more aggressive and try to escape from Rudiger guard. Based on Leg 1, the two teams played carefully and read each other's opponents' strategies. So in Leg 2, we will see the original performance of both Manchester City and Madrid.

It's still going to be very difficult and I still feel like anything is possible but Milan are already in the semi-finals.
Their condition is still not good and it was proven in this match in domestic competition where they should have been able to get 3 points to increase their confidence but instead had to lose humiliatingly against Spezia who were clearly far below them.

Even if they don't qualify for the finale in the Champions League often it is still very good job for Italian teams now. Especially Milan's work against Napoli was really impressive. However we couldn't see the same effort continuing against Inter in the first leg. Leao was absent maybe but this shouldn't have been a this much problem.

I wonder what Milan will do in the second leg even if Leao comes back. As the stadium is the same for these teams Milan still have serious level of chance to change things.
