Manchester City played absolutely well last night by making Madrid struggle to get the ball and it's what I was expecting from the Citizens, to me Madrid was no match for City. After the first goal by Vinicius Jr I thought that would be another problem for Manchester CITY, like they would be panicking to get an equalizer but Pep controlled his boys asking them to continue pushing till they got a goal.
I still don't know why whenever it comes to a crucial game such as this, Erling Haaland would just be a ghost in the game, like is worrisome and Pep Guardiola needs to start up somebody who's not relaxing in games such as this like Alvarez. I believe he [Alvarez] can do better than Erling or if possibly play both attackers in the return leg and make the defense of Madrid work more than they did in the first leg and hopefully it will be a win for City at the end.
I wouldn't say that Real Madrid's performance was bad. But I expected a better performance from Real Madrid. Luka Modric is back from injury. But he could not play well in this match. More importantly, Benzema's performance was not good in this match. If Benzema had played well, maybe Madrid would have won.
Real Madrid has fallen behind by not being able to win home matches. In the previous season, we saw Real Madrid lose 4-3 against Manchester City in the away match, but they managed to qualify for the final thanks to a 3-1 win at home. But this time they can't play well in the home match. I think Manchester City will qualify for the final.
This was a very fierce match, both teams took the initiative to play a fast tempo, and there were lots of collisions which resulted in 4 yellow cards. I don't think it's the day of the strikers because they seem to be deadlocked. The tight defense of each team makes it difficult to create good opportunities. Man City certainly has an advantage in the second leg because they will be playing at home but still, they can't let their guard down because Real Madrid is a dangerous team that has a good mentality.

I expected this match to be very competitive and both teams will play very fast. We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. The players of both the teams tried hard to score. However, Real Madrid cannot take advantage of the home. I'd say Ancelotti was defeated by Guardiola's match tactics at home. I won't say that Real Madrid played badly, but I expected them to win. But they can't win. However, after losing the first leg last season, Madrid produced a great performance in the second leg and beat City to qualify for the final. I hope the second leg will be more crowded.

Anceloti did assign players in his defense to block the movement from Haaland, certainly making Halaand ineffective in making threats, I think it is a good decision from Madrid coach to kill Haaland, and almost all spaces can be covered by defender Madrid from Mancaster attack City.

It was a good initiation from De Bruyne, after he realized that Haaland was tightened tightly by Real Madrid defender, a kick from outside the Real Madrid defense box, De Bruyne's kick became the sole goal of Manchaster City to balance the position in the first leg yesterday. The average halaand is as a bait execution, and he is very lacking in making opportunities for himself because it may be limitations to his dribling capabilities.
Even Carlos Ancelotti strategy works for the Real Madrid, but still end of this match in draw is not ideal for them because De Bruyne's this can create problems for them in second leg match which is going to play at Etihad Stadium.

As things were going into first half, and they have lead I was feeling they will be ended as winner, and we will have good second leg match, but draw is surely going to be advantage for the Manchester City but still their strategy works against Haaland, and he was not effective in this match which helps Real Madrid hopefully they will go for the second leg match with better improved way and try to clinch match and have another final even this all is good on papers and in realty nothing is sure and predictable.

This is the type of match I like to watch on the time, because what Inter did to Milan at home made many people to believed that Inter and Manchester city will be the team that will stand to face each other in the UEFA champions league final. It was a surprised performance for Inter to scored two goals within 11 minutes to reduced the strength of Milan from the beginning of the match till the end of the match to embraced victory from the semi-final. I don't think, Milan will have any confidence of winning Inter in their home in the second leg, because Inter will display well more than the way they displayed in Milan home to defeated them 2-0 .
Pep Guardiola was undoubtedly pleased with the result, a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.  Because Pep Guardiola knows that a draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is a big deal.  

The second leg match will be played in Manchester and there Manchester City is unstoppable. Considering the home match, I would definitely prefer Manchester City.  
However, the second leg match is going to be one of the best matches in UCL history.

In the other match, AC Milan lost 2-0 to Inter Milan at their home ground at the San Siro stadium. At the end of the home match, AC Milan is trailing by two goals to Inter Milan, and AC Milan's next match is at Inter Milan's home ground and it is absolutely impossible to lead by paying two goals there.  That means we can consider Inter Milan in the UCL final.

inter did actually play well yesterday, but I don't think that judgment you gave is the correct one have you forgotten Real Madrid is still in the league if real madrid can give manchester city a very tough time to even score one goal to equalize who is inter when the big dogs are still their, manchester city against Madrid the second meeting is going to be a very difficult game to predict. and Inter's next meeting with Milan will not be any different inter will still win just imagine within the space of 3 minutes two goals are already recorded I was actually impressed.

I can't say if Inter Milan played better than Ac Milan or not because the game in the first minutes was really unexpecting and Inter Milan scored two goals while Ac Milan was shocked because the performance of them but regardless of these first minutes I think both teams had a good and close performance.

Since the match between inter Milan and AC Milan has never been played, I have feelings that inter Milan will defeat Ac Milan. This is because inter Milan's performance in the Series A league indicates that inter Milan are in better condition than Ac Milan. Inter Milan defeated Ac Milan with 2-0 in 11 minutes, and this indicates that Ac Milan has no intention of winning the second leg match again because it will be very difficult to recover from that defeat.
We shouldn't make predictions about the final that Inter Milan and Manchester will be a good fit because real Madrid didn't give up or lose the second  match against them with Manchester City. I know that Manchester City plays at home, but we should be aware that real Madrid is equally adept at playing both at home and out games.

I was very surprised by Milan's game, their performance was very bad and it shouldn't happen in the semi-finals. Everyone certainly expected the Derby match to be fierce, but I'm quite disappointed with Milan for not being able to develop their game to match Inter's game. For the 2nd leg, Milan's steps are getting heavier, if you can't improve your game, then the Rossoneri must forget about the dream of qualifying for the final. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri certainly don't want to give their rival the slightest chance.
The cause of Milan was able to be frustrated by its main rivals due to the poor coordination of defense, Kjaer and Tomori's coordination looked very nervous so that Inter could easily create opportunities and score two goals in adjacent times. The Rossoneri is also very difficult to get out of pressure, making Inter players more free to launch a barrage of attacks towards the goal that Maignan is guarded. There was no other choice for Pioli in the second leg other than playing all out. Milan's opportunity is very thin but if all players are in fit and have the same fighting spirit then the opportunity to catch up with the score is still open.

The victory that was achieved in the early minutes of the first half was carried out very well because AC Milan had not previously realized that Inter did not want to waste time so they really maximized their opportunities. But after that, no more goals were created until the second half was over. It was proven that AC Milan was too late to be aware of the attacks carried out by Inter players. Even in the second half, AC Milan without Leao tried to play more calmly and look stable. Unfortunately it's not enough if you can't equalize.


I guessed wrong, Milan turned out to lose. I lost a dozen cigarettes. I saw the game and I saw very weak defensively, they looked difficult to control the situation. They always fail to take advantage of some opportunities that should have been goals. It was evident in fifteen minutes that there were already two goals. In addition, Inter's quick goal made Milan mentally drop and I think surprised. In addition, actually Milan seems difficult to get out of the pressure, but it seems that the absence of Rafael Leao greatly affected Milan's performance today.

You can probably say that Inzaghi takes Inter to the final, since the second game will be focused on the defense, and if Inter still manage to score a goal, which is quite realistic, then Milan will not be able to do anything. Well, Inter in the final is a very unexpected result, but I also expected more from Milan after they managed to beat Napoli. Well, will we see in the final Inter - City? )

AC Milan's performance has been inconsistent lately and that is inversely proportional to Inter Milan, who is currently on fire.
inter MIlan's 2-goal win in the first leg has put them even closer to the Champions League final this season.

Apart from the important player AC Milan Leao who is currently injured, I think that for now Inter Milan is much better than AC Milan and this 2-goal victory is very deserved for Inter Milan.

and for the second leg match Manchester CIty vs Real Madrid, anything is still possible to happen, Real Madrid should not be underestimated even though the second leg will be played at home to Manchester City.
of course, leg 2 will be a high-intensity battle. It is possible that there will be emotional shifts between the players because the results of Leg 1 did not satisfy either of them. As a result, playing at Man City headquarters is an advantage for them, although I am sure that Real Madrid is familiar with and used to this situation. Their mentality is really well formed, so they only need to control it so that their concentration is not off guard. Especially for Man City players who will definitely deliberately do everything they can to break their focus.

Milan played very badly in the match due to which they could not win the match and did not score any goals. Many thought that Milan was a strong team, but they did not perform well at home. No one could have imagined that they would concede two goals at the start of the first half. It was the two goals between the 8th and 11th minutes that gave Inter the most joy. But playing at Inter's home ground in the next match, Inter will certainly play well enough in the match and have a chance to win the match. And Milan may have to withdraw from Ligue-2 because if Milan could have scored a goal in Ligue-1 they would have had a chance. However, in the last match of the semi-finals, Inter will never discount Milan, but everyone will try to play well. And now Inter is the most likely to go to the final, they are 2 goals ahead of Milan.
AC Milan play badly in early 15 minutes and this cause them in this match even they recovered but sadly not able to have any chance for fight back which is now having trouble in second leg match Inter steal the show which is amazing because mostly we were feeling AC Milan is better team, but their current form is amazing which can bring them in final.
 
Inzaghi strategy work and they were able to lead until end of this match AC Milan is going down badly even they are defending champions in Serie A but with this current form most chances they will be not able to qualify for the next season because right now they are having fifth spot and most probably chance for the exit from here in second leg match.

in the end Inter won the first match, honestly I never expected that
but you know, Inter are an absolutely inconsistent team
I saw the two goals, they look much more like bad mistakes by Milan than good deeds by Inter
whoever made the fewest mistakes won

hmph..
Such a poor night for Milan really. I didn't see as big effort as I expected from them. Because there were big problems with the shots. This 2-0 loss already in the first game can be a serious issue for Milan in the second leg. I was expecting Inter to play good but this was more than I expected. After capturing this psychological advantage Inter can most probably eliminate them.
-snip-
The results I could have expected because AC Milan often loses in the derby. The 0 - 2 score by Inter seems to have strengthened its position to reach the final. I can't say AC Milan was able to score 3 goals in the 2nd leg, because currently AC Milan is not Milan as last season who was more consistent in every game. I think reaching the Semi-finals is good for AC Milan at the moment.

AC Milan were the team that removed the current Italian champions Napoli from the Champions league. We expected that they will be able to win Inter at home even if the second leg will be a struggle, but No! They have decided to go to Inter Milan as the handicapped team. They are not yet out because they can score two goals in Inter and the game will be on, but AC MIlan has to be careful because if Interested Milan score first in that game, then they become most likely to qualify for the finals.

The other game, It is still difficult to guess the team that will be in he finals. Will it Manchester City? Or will it be Real Madrid?
You forget if Milan weren't playing with Leao, Leao is the key of how Milan beat Napoli. That's really unexpected Leao injured before few days of this big match, if Leao played maybe the result would be different. The second leg seems Inter will win again because Milan weren't playing good in this match.

For Manchester City vs Real Madrid, it's really close, but my heart tend to see Manchester City will win.

I wonder why Inzaghi didn't prefer Lukaku in the starting lineup this time. He has been in a good shape recently actually.

I would say AC Milan was unlucky to lose so badly at home. Inter Milan is a very tactical team. They conceded the first goal in the 8th minute and quickly conceded another goal. Before AC Milan could organize their defense, Inter Milan went ahead with two consecutive goals. And later on, Inter Milan was more focused on keeping their defense tight than attacking. However, Inter Milan's players were able to mount several excellent counter-attacks. Overall the match was very enjoyable. AC Milan are unlikely to qualify for the final after losing 2-0 at home.
Milan did not show the game with high standard games they were very chaotic so Inter immediately punished at the beginning of the first half. For the second leg no longer hope for Milan, Simone Inzaghi will lock the results of today's match and will not provide room for his rivals. I made sure Inter was able to set foot in Istanbul.

yes it seems like that, Inter Milan is currently in good form and this result is really deserved for them to win 2 - 0 which is a big enough capital for Inter Milan to look at the second leg later and if you look at the team's performance I also think there is no possibility for AC Milan to be able to turn things around in the second leg later.

actually it's not AC Milan and underperforming, but it's Inter Milan who is currently performing well and it's very difficult for AC Milan to match.

What a match it was! Inter Milan truly displayed their dominance and put on a solid performance, taking one step closer to securing a spot in the Champions League final. Inter Milan could have perhaps won by a larger margin. As for AC Milan, can they make a comeback in the second leg? Can't see them doing it, especially considering their struggles with scoring more than two goals per game. The absence of Rafael Leão was definitely felt, as they appeared terrible without him.

The two Serie A teams met last night in the semi-finals of the UCL where AC Milan were beaten 2-0 by Inter Milan.  Although AC Milan was ahead in all aspects of the game, they could not defend well against Inter Milan. AC Milan's defenders completely failed to digest the goal that AC Milan scored in the 8th minute. 
Džeko was unhindered inside the D box when the corner kick was taken. His unhindered presence inside the D box is one of the reasons AC Milan fell behind. Džeko cut the corner kick short and put the ball into AC Milan's net. That's when AC Milan fell behind Inter Milan.

After the goal in the 8th minute, Mkhitaryan scored another goal three minutes later to give the team a 2-0 lead. Basically the AC Milan players failed to resist the counter attack. AC Milan played the first leg behind Inter Milan by two goals.

The defeat in the first leg made Milan have to work hard when playing in the second leg, Milan did not have an effect in front of the fans, which made Inter succeed in shaking Milan goal twice. Milan managed to control the game with 57% Ball Possession, but due to ineffective attacks, Milan was unable to reduce the defeat after trailing 2-0 in the first half.
Milan also looked weak in defense, Inter managed to take good advantage of Milan weaknesses, the two goals that Inter obtained before the match lasted 15 minutes made Milan chances of qualifying for the final even smaller because the second leg will be played at Inter headquarters.
winning 2 goals at the start of the match made AC Milan's game even worse, it was clear that even though AC Milan was 2 goals behind, there wasn't much they could do in the second half, it's likely that this will also happen in the second leg later.
that way it will be very difficult for AC Milan to catch up with 2 goals behind their rivals Inter Milan.

since the beginning of the season the performance of the two teams has been very inconsistent in the domestic league, but lately it cannot be denied that Inter Milan has developed much better and this first leg match really proves that this season Inter Milan is better than their city rivals.
it is very likely that Inter Milan will be in the UCL final this season.
