Real Madrid is using experience to play Manchester city. They are not stressing themselves that much because they believe in the tactics that they will use to win the match. I saw the marvelous goal scored be Vinicius to put his club on the lead. Football is not about gaining ball possession but scoring goals.

I admit that Vinicius really made the difference in the first half. Real Madrid failed to develop the game like they usually do, but that's not a problem as long as we score goals. I expect them to play well not just score goals, even if Madrid win in this way but that's not what I expect from them.

I don't know what is wrong the the players of Manchester city, they had good opportunities to break the deadlock on their opponent's goal post but couldn't convert it to a goal

They were just unlucky, but if Real Madrid sloppy in defense then Manchester City could score a couple of goals in the second half.

I think it's bad to keep Manchester City in control of the game because that could actually increase their chances of scoring. I know Vinicius managed to beat Ederson's goal with one accurate shot during the first half, yes, 1 shot 1 goal for Real Madrid. So far we have only relied on Courtois' performance because I saw Manchester City find chances throughout the first half. I hope Real Madrid's defense can get better in the second half and they get better in attack.

Vinicius played a very nice shot which Manchester city goal keeper couldn’t save, I think the goal keeper wasn’t expecting the shot from that distance. Real Madrid have been playing dangerous games but they are been favored, it’s better Real Madrid works on their defense but they shouldn’t play a defensive game with Manchester city, they will definitely look for ways to secure goals, Real Madrid shouldn’t be to confident with their one goal lead.

This 1-0 advantage made Real Madrid comfortable to start the second half, but I'm worried because if the defense is not good then Real Madrid will concede in the second half. The first half belonged entirely to Manchester City, but Real Madrid won.

It’s better Real Madrid are not comfortable with just 1 goal difference, this is just the first half and Manchester City was In control of the match in first half, if second half can continue like this, don’t be surprise Manchester city will equalize in second half of the match, Manchester city performance wasn’t bad in the first half, so Real Madrid shouldn’t be comfortable, they still need to score more goals, but from my prediction, Manchester city might end up scoring in second half of the match.

Real Madrid's defence has done well in this first half, most especially Eduardo Camavinga who has made many important touches including the assist that has led to Real Madrid's one goal advantage with their first attempt on target. Manchester City have met their match and they are will have to take things more carefully in the second half to avoid more goals. Manchester City's target now will be to try to get an equaliser or try to make sure that Real Madrid don't score more goals that will make the second leg more difficult.

Man City look stronger than Real, but they have forgotten what it takes to defend apart from attacking... Real had only two chances and in one of them they did not forgive Man City's mistake... I think the second half will be even more interesting than the first one... After scoring a goal, Real have started to play more confidently... Will they be able to keep playing like that and win? Hala Madrid! Grin

The current score is Real Madrid 1-0 Manchester City, and 1 cool goal for Real Madrid and scored by Vinicius Junior in the 36th minute through a hard kick that Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes was unable to push over.
and I saw Manchester City had the ball the whole game in the first half, but as soon as Real Mandrid attacked it was scary. And this is Real Madrid's greatness in the UCL, apart from being nicknamed the king of comebacks, he also often carries out frightening counterattacks.

Despite Manchester City's dominance in the first half, Real Madrid was able to withstand the pressure of Manchester City's dangerous attacks and capitalize on one of the few chances they created, providing a great start to the semi-final.

The second half will be entirely different because both managers have extensive experience in playing such difficult matches, but there is some hope for Manchester City because they are in the game, and Real Madrid will also be eager to maintain their lead and score more goals if possible.

Real Madrid is allowing city to play the ball,maybe because they are rest assured that they will win the match,no matter how hard city tries to play.

It is a very interesting match and I believe the second half will be more interesting, since Manchester city will want to equalise the goal.

Manchester City had all of the chances, but none of them resulted in a goal. Real Madrid got control of the ball and scored after a few attacks on Manchester City. I know the game will become more intense now that possession has returned to Manchester City, who will almost certainly score an equalizer before halftime. This is an intriguing football game in which the outcome cannot be predicted. I'm confident both teams will score a goal, but the lucky team will win.

Manchester City did have some good chances but none resulted in a goal so far. It’s the half time now and Manchester City couldn’t equalize on the scoreline. I too had expected City to increase the pressure to try and equalize before the half time but they so far couldn’t.

The game would surely become more intense as both teams would want to strive to win. Dani Carvajal has been a bit rough with Grealish and has fouled him a number of times. I’m also confident both teams would score. We would probably see a City goal in the second half.

I think Manchester City have played the game according to plan where from the first half they really managed to put pressure on Real Madrid quite well. But unfortunately, Real Madrid actually escaped the pressure and launched one of the best counterattacks and scored a goal. Of course this was unfair because Manchester City were very good in the first half, but they failed to find a goal despite having more shots on target.

I'm looking forward to the second half being even more intense than the first and I think Manchester City can score or maybe keep it 1-0 to the end. But I hope a draw might do justice to the end of the first leg.

Now Manchester City want to try to get their revenge on the previous season.
They have been passionate from the start of the kick of until the 25th minute. but Madrid are also aware that they don't want to let their guard down and concede the ball just like that.
There are some things that are quite risky now, because if they defend continuously this won't be good either, but on the other hand when they try to get out of rhythm and try to catch up with Manchester City then it's also very risky with the defense they leave.

Madrid does not possession the ball as much as City. but they made a good attack. Vinicius scored a goal and became an advantage for Madrid. he's always been the real dealbreaker from Madrid when Benzema can't do much with an impenetrable defence.
Madrid will definitely come up with another strategy in the second half to put pressure on City not to have too much possession of the ball again. because if left unchecked they could be in big trouble in the second half.

Manchester City started the match really dominant and the statistics were really insane as well. Real Madrid were able to try to do something only by counter-attacks. But despite this look the same Real Madrid got ahead first with a really lovely goal by Vinicius Junior. It was a pretty impressive shot that Ederson had a big difficulty in that moment against it. I'm happy to see a goal in the first half but I wish it came from Manchester City side.

If this happened in my FM career I would have definitely reprimanded the players about how they could let this happen after that dominance. I hope Guardiola can prepare them well for the second half because we didn't see so many absolute goal chances by their side. The opportunities Haaland found were wasted easily also. I hope to see a better effort than him this time. Even a draw would be enough for Manchester City to finish the job in Etihad in my opinion.

the first half of Real Madrid vs Manchester City had just ended and unexpectedly Real Madrid was able to lead by 1 goal even though Manchester City fully controlled the course of this match in the first round.
manchester city has a 70% ballposition advantage and continues to imprison Real Madrid's defense and the Real Madrid team really shows their mentality, I really think this is a very extraordinary match.
in the second half I think the game of the two teams will be more open and it is very possible that there will be another goal in the second half later, this will be very interesting to look forward to.

As we can see, Manchester City dominated the match and they often attacked repeatedly, but Courtois' appearance is beyond doubt, he made 4 saves from attempted shoots on target by Manchester City players. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, which only counterattacked once, was able to produce 1 goal in the meantime and this goal was scored by Vini Jr.

The game will be more exciting for sure in the second half and we will still be waiting for surprises from these two teams. Winning 1 goal while not fully keeping Real Madrid safe, they had to score more goals to secure the first leg victory and Manchester City seemed to have lost its soul after conceding that goal.

Real Madrid have sucked up the city pressure well and now playing comfortably on their home turf, and I must admit the citizens looked like they were in control in the early minutes of the game, but this turned around quickly and put Real Madrid ahead thanks to a beautiful shot from Vinicius Jr and it will be difficult to put them out of the competition with how they are now playing.

Leo is resting.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City

The first 30 minutes have seen Manchester city dominating the defending champions Real Madrid in ball possession 25:75, goal attempt 0:4 all in favour of the away team Manchester city but they are yet to convert their chances to get a goal which they need in this game but just a single attempt made by Real Madrid they have converted it into a goal this shows how experienced the team has become they always capitalize on the mistakes of their opponent to punish team and that is exactly the case of the goal Vinicius Junior scored.

Real Madrid are not weak, but they may struggle a bit with the pressure from Manchester City. Real Madrid's defense hasn't looked too tight as Manchester City have managed to create some good chances so far. Manchester City dominated this match and managed to close the gap. Real Madrid created chances, but unfortunately Manchester City had to concede first to Real Madrid.

1-0 now, the game is getting hotter and I think Manchester City will be tighter now. Both teams are expected to score goals, so I'll be waiting for that.

Manchester City had all of the chances, but none of them resulted in a goal. Real Madrid got control of the ball and scored after a few attacks on Manchester City.

Benzema has been having chances but he is not that fast like Haaland, if that ball that was pass to him from Rodrigo was the same thing Haaland have, Real Madrid by now will be weak because I believe Mancherster City will be pushing for their second goals by now, but not late yet, Cortois will soon wear out with that energy.

In the first 25 minutes, Real Madrid was literally bombarded with repeated attacks and could only defend in defense. Well Manchester City played a good role despite looking to underestimate Madrid. Starting from the 30th minute, Madrid was quite capable of chasing and being able to launch attacks and it didn't take long for us to see the goal. Don't get me wrong, once Madrid found out the gap, that's where the mistakes of the Manchester City players seemed to still be superior.

So is it still said that the current Madrid is different? Once again they played cool off the pressure and came out to finish with a goal.

Haaland to me is just a good striker like others, any striker can perform well in this Manchester's city squad. last season they played without a striker and they had the highest goals in the league. i will choose Benzema over Haaland many times, today's game will determine alot of arguments, would all agree that Real Madrid is indeed the king of champions league football.
the second half is ongoing and Manchester city is dominating but Real madrid will win this first half.

Haaland is a good striker indeed but he has some unique feature that Benzema lack, Haaland is faster than Benzema, he is stronger has more stamina than Benzema and doesn't fall easily when they push him especially when there 2-3 defenders as last men, he make sure to pass through them and that is what he is strategizing in todays match but Carvajal and Rudiger are prepared for him, they didn't give him chance and the ones he is having are not enough to trick Cortois, but very soon, I expect him to tear that net either in first or second half.

Benzema has been having chances but he is not that fast like Haaland, if that ball that was pass to him from Rodrigo was the same thing Haaland have, Real Madrid by now will be weak because I believe Mancherster City will be pushing for their second goals by now, but not late yet, Cortois will soon wear out with that energy.

Now we see that it doesn't necessarily need Benzema. Wink

That goal by Vinicius Junior was superb I think. Usually he dribbles much further to the opponents goal line, but in this case he didn't think for very long and decided to go for it within a blink of an eye. What a bomb that shot was.

Now Real Madrid is in the position that they love. Leave the opponent the ball, owning the lead, and wait for deadly counter attacks. This is tough for Manchester City.

Real Madrid and Manchester City played in the semifinals exactly one year ago. And that time the Spaniards beat the English. Guardiola remembers that match and today he will try to take revenge. I think it will be a good option for City to play today in a draw, and decide the outcome in their favor in the return match. Moreover, the teams will play the second match in Manchester, it will help the city.

Yeah, Real Madrid and Manchester City met last year during the semi finals. This time around, Pep would definitely want to go ahead in this game.
Right now, it’s the 38th minute and Vini Jnr has scored a goal to put Real Madrid in front. I wouldn’t get too happy for now as the game is still on and Manchester City can still very well equalize. Hopefully, Manchester City wouldn’t concede another goal cause if Madrid finds a way to score another, i think it would be difficult for Manchester City to equalize.
I think City needs to win this first leg of the game.
