We all remember that they destroyed Liverpool at home. moreover, they won the game while trailing 2-0. It is not known whether Manchester City will experience the same scenario, but even this proves that they have to be very careful against Real Madrid and Ancelotti. The rematch will go at a faster pace. If Real Madrid wants to win the trophy again, they have to win this match in England.
but Manchester City is different in my opinion, in the first leg alone Manchester City was able to control the game even though playing at home to Real Madrid and the result was a draw.
Real Madrid deserves to be watched out for, they are a team that has a very good mentality on the European stage, but realistically we can see that Manchester City's strength is much better this season.
and the second leg that will be played at the Etihad Stadium will be very profitable for Manchester City because the results of the first leg are a draw.
Manchester city tried in my opinion. Santiago Bernabeau isn’t an easy place to get a draw. Manchester city gave them enough space which they  shouldn’t have. Real Madrid killed that game with speed from the first half. Akanji, Stones, Walker...all struggled. Now when you overload in the final third..one interception and switch completely breaks the structure. So I think Manchester city shared the spoils because they were very discipline out of possession. Everything to play for at Etihad. The spaces they were looking for at Madrid will be presented in Manchester.

I was suprise not seeing Haaland performance in the match yesterday, you won't even notice Haaland was in the match yesterday, Madrid players didn't give him chance yesterday, they did everything to stop ball from going to his direction yesterday and if ball was with him, they did everything to stop him, I don't really think we should blame him or coach for that, no matter anybody that's in the position, they will definitely do everything to stop him.
It should be a strategy by Pep because we know all eyes from Manchester City's players are focus to Benzema and all eyes from Real Madrid's players are focus to Haaland. That's why both of them don't have many chance to shoot, Benzema and Haaland are only an extra to make both of teams scared with each other lol.

but Manchester City is different in my opinion, in the first leg alone Manchester City was able to control the game even though playing at home to Real Madrid and the result was a draw.
Manchester City not only control the game, but they've destroyed Real Madrid's defense, Courtois have saved many shoots.

AC Milan had done Inter Milan a big favor for eliminating one of the best Italian football team Napoli from the Uefa Champions League, I think it will be tough for either of these teams to score a winning goal against each other today since both of these teams are relatively stable in their defense this season. I guess we might see a boring goalless draw at the final whistle today.

This first leg should require Milan to make many goals, even though they are in one house. But it seems that the away home game still counts for goal difference, so they have to make the most of things. Indeed, Milan is quite convincing because it has beaten Napoli who are very strong this season. Yes I see Serie A has always been a league I don't like, their tempo is too slow and a lot of long balls. But hopefully that won't happen. This is UCL, they will try to win and score a lot of goals.
AC Milan even though they are a little inconsistent in Serie A. But Ac Milan always looks good in the Champions League. Likewise Inter Milan who surprised us by beating Benfica in the quarter-finals even though at that time Inter Milan was also having an inconsistent performance in Serie A. But for this match I think both teams have prepared their best for the semi-final match which took place today. This. I personally can't predict which one will be superior in this match because both seem to have almost the same quality of play. it's just that Inter Milan seems to have become the favorite in this match based on their good record in several weeks in Serie A. I personally predict a draw in this match.

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.
Manchester City played well in the first half of the match, but immediately Real Madrid scored their first goal, they pattern of playing changed, pressure was on Manchester city till first half ended, when second half started, Manchester City performance dropped, pressure was on Manchester city until they equalized, before they gained their confidence back and the match balanced. The two clubs tried yesterday, they both played as a professional. But I believe Manchester city is having higher chances of winning the second leg.

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.

We all remember that they destroyed Liverpool at home. moreover, they won the game while trailing 2-0. It is not known whether Manchester City will experience the same scenario, but even this proves that they have to be very careful against Real Madrid and Ancelotti.

Milan defeating Inter in today's match might not be a wasted prediction. If they secure enough aggregate in today the will make their return leg more easier and winning the semi-finals will make it their 12th appearance in the UCL in which the won 7.

Madrid vs Manchester City is now inconclusive, It is difficult to predict what the outcome of the second leg will be after a 1-1 aggregate last night. City seems to be the favourite this time, i hope the make good use of their home stadium to their advantage.

City away matches in the Champions League often ended in a draw, Bayern, Leipzig, Dortmund (by the way, all teams from the Bundesliga) and even Copenhagen had a draw in the group stage. At home, they play much more confidently, but I see that Guardiola's main task in away matches is not to lose. Perhaps today we will see something similar, it could be a draw, let's say 1-1. And in the home match, City will try to beat the unstable Real Madrid.

I got a good forecast, but unfortunately I don’t bet on the exact score. ) Probably Guardiola can be pleased with this outcome of the match, because he used it throughout the tournament. Real looked pretty dangerous, but whether this home draw will be enough for them to beat City at the Etihad and reach the final, there are big doubts. I would like to see City in the final.

In the second semi-final we will have a Milan derby, in such matches it is difficult to predict something, but I will assume that Milan will win today, maybe Ibra remained in the team (although he does not play) to win the Champions League? )

Haaland in particular was very aggressive in this match but could not succeed. Although Manchester City drew in this match, they are at the bottom of the points table. The game ahead of Manchester City will not be much of a competition as the other side is less strong than Manchester City. However, Real Madrid drew this game at home and they also proved to be the power grabbers.
 I thought manchester city can win this match because manchester city is stronger in point table despite real madrid having all number of strikers. Meanwhile, Real Madrid had many chances to score more goals but Karim Benzema could not succeed despite several attacks.

Manchester City dominated the entire game until Real Madrid scored in the first half. Real Madrid scored an excellent goal with Vini Jr. After this goal, we watched a little more Real Madrid attacks in the match. Real Madrid, which did not allow a position to Haaland, missed a few goals with Benzema, and De Bruyne's great goal caused the match to end in a draw. The rematch at the Etihad stadium will be even more exciting.

A draw might indeed occur. But I consider the performance of Inter Milan's current attack line which looks better in recent weeks. Even their goal productivity has also increased slightly in Serie A. So that Inter Milan currently has a mature balance between the back line and the attack line.

Meanwhile, AC Milan actually had several problems in their attack line a few weeks ago. but in the last match yesterday in Serie A. I saw Ac Milan starting to return to their best performance. But even so, I am more confident in favoring Inter Milan in this match. I'm pretty sure Inter Milan will win even by a narrow score.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City's first league match in the Champions League semi-finals ended in a 1-1 draw. The first 20 minutes of the game was the only time we enjoyed Manchester City's game. Whereas Manchester City had nearly 70 percent of the ball in the first 20 minutes. But Real Madrid came back into the match brilliantly in the next period. 

In the 36th minute of the game, Camavinga's assist scored a great goal from outside the box by Brazilian rising star Venicius Jr. The Real Madrid star has been unstoppable this season. No team planning can stop him. Not only goals from his feet but also many beautiful passes we noticed that other players in the team failed to finish well. 

Manchester City was still fighting hard with Real Madrid leading by one goal. In the 67th minute, De Bruyne's curling shot from outside the D box went bullet-speed into the Real Madrid goal post. And De Bruyne brought Manchester City back into the game. De Bruyne scored two goals in 8 matches this season. 
After the goal was equalized, no other team saw a goal. In the end, both had to leave the field with a 1-1 draw.

The Champions League format has changed, meaning that away goals have been abolished. So these two teams still have the same opportunity to seal tickets to the semifinals. Indeed, Manchester City will benefit a little because playing at home in the second leg later, but Real Madrid who have high experience in Europe certainly will not make them mentally shriveled. I predicted that the second leg match will still be fierce and quite balanced. Only good luck will make one of these teams can realize his dreams in Istanbul.
I do like the new format of UCL. The new format was making the competition become even stricter caused by the situation can change anytime. This format makes the club to have more spirit to win the upcoming match even though if the club will be playing away. Real madrid has champion DNA. It doesn't even matter where and when real madrid playing against and it think if it's gonna win the match against manchester city. I knew that many people feel disappointed with the result in santiago bernabeu. People just never remember what achievements that achieved by real madrid. 14 times UCL torphies shall be enough to make them all remember the history of real madrid.

The next match gonna be the most important match for real madrid. I hope that madrid can destroy city in etihad. That will be so good to sing "where's your european cup?"
I hope that madrid will make another dramatic comeback against manchester city again.

it was a great game at night, both team showcases class. and are all eager to win the title, of course, whosoever qualify between them, will win the title, they are both favourite for the title. i told people that in Champions league   Real Madrid has no mate at the  moment and no close rival. they are king of champions league. Before the game several football pundits wrote Real Madrid of and i wonder if they really know football, i think people lost so much yesterday by putting their stakes on city to destoy Real Madrid. Real Madrid defence was absolute , they pocketed Haaland in the game, he didn't have a 10 touches in that game last night. the second goal was a  brillant one by kelvin. the second will determine alot of things, Real Madrid has a good record in England, they  can still showcase their seniority in Etihad.


today's  we are going to witness two Italian giants Ac Milan vs Inter Milan, both playing at home, because they shares same staduim @san siro. it will be touch but Inter Milan is more favourable to win the game.

The result in Madrid increases the chance for Manchester City to get to the final. Haaland wasn't as effective as usual, but he has a crucial role at getting the attention of Real's defenders to himself and opening spaces for the attacking midfielders of Manchester City.
Courtois made another great game. If Real Madrid had a weaker goalkeeper, City would have won the match. The goalkeeper of Manchester City also had a great game and did some really important saves. Maybe this season will be the season of Manchester City. I can't see how AC Milan or Inter would compete against City, if the English team reaches the UEFA Champions League final.

The match between madrid vs city was very interesting. I saw that how carvalaj was guarding grealish. It was making grealish can't move for free against real madrid. Haaland can do nothing in front of rudiger. It's caused by rudiger has very good physic as good as haaland.

KDB is also feeling so confuse to get the free space. The result was draw but there are so many important things happened during the match. Im so glad the defensive line of madrid is performing so well during the match.

It's not the same like when real madrid was playing in la liga. The defensive line of real madrid is much more consistent right now. It's caused by this match is really important for ancelotti and club.

I hope that if madrid will make another dramatic comeback in erihad stadium. It will be so good for madrid to make it happen to kick city from UCL. That means almost all of EPL clubs being kicked out by madrid.

The leg-1 match was excellent with both teams having a very interesting game to watch. I watched the game full time and both teams attacked adequately throughout. Manchester City made a few fierce attacks in the first period but Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant save. And Real Madrid also had a few attacks but neither team could score. In the 36th minute of the first half, Real Madrid's fierce attack resulted in a fatal goal from Vinicius Junior's kick. Even in the second half of the game, there was very little chance of scoring between the two teams, which attacked fiercely. Later in the 67th minute, Manchester City scored a great goal and the goal was a kick from Kevin De Bruyne. Then the game between the two teams was equalized with a 1-1 draw and later on, no team could score a goal in any attack. Due to which the match is a draw next match leg-2 let's see which team can go from semi-final to UEFA champion to final.

In my opinion, Manchester's goal would not have come out if Camavinga had made the pass to Vini, literally the moment he made the pass and missed it I thought "Camavinga if it's a goal, it's your fault " seconds later the goal comes out and look at Vini he still asked for the pass, maybe if he had handed the ball to Vini it would have even been 2 - 0  but that doesn't take away the fact that Camavinga played a lot and of course from the outside it's much easier to say than at the moment, but that was it a clear mistake was, Vini was literally alone and he passed to Rodrygo who lost the ball. But what shocked me the most was how Haaland didn't play anything, if the Golden Ball was tomorrow he wouldn't win, but let's see in the return game.

Really hot game. Even the sensation of watching this match is the same as when we watch the UCL Final. Both teams played equally well in this match. Both teams displayed an equally balanced attack and defense. In the first half, Man City had more chances but yes, you are right that Real Madrid goalkeeper T. Courtois is very great because he can always read the direction of the ball going towards the goal.

In the second half things got even more fierce. But in this match I was surprised and laughed a little because if we pay attention that the first goal (Real Madrid - V. Junior) and second goal (Man City - De Bruyne) both scored with shots from outside the same penalty area. with the direction of the shot which is also almost the same to the right corner.

The quality of football played by these two teams filled with superstars is mesmerising. 2 absolutely banger of goals by vini and later equalised by KDB. Modric was apparently playing while recovering from injury and risking a bigger injury, yet he bossed the midfield. Kyle Walker was crucial for Man City as he didn't get dribbled past even once while winning all his duels. He kept the right side of the defence on lock. Great match and it'll lead to a decisive encounter at the Etihad. 2nd leg is likely going to be favouring Man City as it being their home game. Also, can't keep Haaland quiet for so long. He's definitely going to be a problem in the 2nd leg.
