It's true that Pep Guardiola once said that and it seems that Pep's words will forever haunt other teams competing in the Champions League, including his own team, Manchester City. There is no doubt about Real Madrid's magic in the Champions League, they can always do things beyond the capabilities of most other teams and that is what makes Real Madrid so feared or respected. What is clear is that Pep Guardiola's mission is now 100% focused on defeating Real Madrid first because if they make it to the finals then he won't worry too much about his next opponent.

Real madrid is always having something new. This club is king of comeback. Many people have known so well how many times real madrid was doing crazy comeback. Manchester city shall have taken it as serious measurements. I meant let's say that if real madrid will be losing in santiago bernabeu but iw will always make comeback when it was even playing away. The mentality from real madrid's players has been tested so many times. It's the time for ancelotti to give UCL again for the second time in a row.
It will become a great achievements by ancelotti if his club will able to take UCL trophy again this season. Im feeling so confidence with the current composition that owned by real madrid at this moment.
The bad results in the previous matches meant nothing for me as real madrid was not using the best squad against sociedad and girona. We will see that king to come back again to get its UCL trophy.

Manchester city needs to be careful about Real Madrid and they should not use their performance in laliga to conclude they are weak can be won easily. It is not easy to knock out team like Real Madrid that have won the Champions League several time , they have the  secrete in winning champions league.
Of course it would be a big mistake if Manchester City tried to live up to the standards of Real Madrid by looking at them in La Liga. It is possible to measure the strength of opponents in different competitions, but now what they have learned is that Real Madrid can always make impressive surprises when they are in the Champions League. Real Madrid is a team that cannot be underestimated when they are in the Champions League, even though their performances at the domestic level are not good.
Guardiola really understands the way Real Madrid plays because before becoming Manchester City coach he managed a team that became Real Madrid rival in La Liga. Real Madrid always surprises in the Champions League even though in the domestic league they are not able to maintain their best performance. Manchester City, which wants to achieve the ambition of winning its first UCL trophy, must play optimally, like when they eliminated Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.

Guardiola will definitely measure the opponent's strength in order to find a gap through the Real Madrid defense, the combination of Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Mahrez can be relied on by Guardiola to win at the Santiago Bernabeu. Even though it was not easy for Manchester City to win at Real Madrid headquarters, Guardiola experience while coaching Barcelona can be used as capital for Manchester City to finish the game with their heads held high.


Calmness must be owned by Manchester City in this match, because seeing from the strength of the team they are actually very capable of winning the match. Real Madrid are a very experienced team that is very difficult to beat in this Champions League, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten by Manchester City. Manchster City must have realized the things that Real Madrid might be able to do, one of which is to make a comeback if they fall behind, so things like this must be anticipated from the start by them when dealing with Real Madrid.

What do you think about the AC Milan team? I don't think SME Loans can secure a victory against Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Because Inter Milan is performing very well in other leagues. But luck can't be told AC Milan can luckily secure the victory. It is not possible to predict the semi-finals.
It's not easy to make predictions for these two teams in the semifinals of the Champions League if you look at the performances of the two from their respective leagues, because these two teams are very close in their own league standings with a number of points that are not much different so I just assume that their matches in the semifinals of the Champions League this time it can take place more fiercely by exerting all the abilities they have.
This is the derby match presented in the Champions League this season, Inter Milan and AC Milan definitely don't want them to be beaten by their city rivals. Surely the prestige will be felt in this match, in the first leg and second leg. It's not easy to predict who will be in the final, it's really difficult to do. AC Milan has the ability to beat Inter Milan, so does Inter Milan have the opportunity to beat AC Milan. Maybe luck will be the determining factor who will win later.

However, Manchester City's expansion against Madrid has been planned very carefully, so if we look at the results of the 1st leg later, maybe the players confidence will continue to increase. Manchester City are expected to surprise at the Bernabeu, but let's not lose sight of the history of how they got there to lose. So whatever the result will be a big impact for Manchester City in the future.
As Modric did by rejecting the Saudi Arabia Club's offer because he could no longer leave Madrid for any reason. Madrid is his home, you could even say he will retire there. The contract extension he made was the right decision as well as providing coaching to young players when they were ready to leave. Modric figure is indeed irreplaceable, now the transfer market that Bellingham is interested in over Madrid is almost over and it's good that Bellingham can be an alternative to Modric even though he won't completely replace Modric role.
Pep Guardiola seems to have learned from last season when they were defeated by Real Madrid, so this match will have a relatively large impact on Manchester City to face Real Madrid in the first leg at the Bernabeu Stadium.
other than that I think they can maximize the perfection of their squad this season in the first leg where a streak of positive results make them the most consistent team in the semifinals this season.

One of the factors that will make them successful in the first leg is the experience and tactics they will employ in the first leg. the result of the first leg will determine the better chances for them in the second leg.

I don't think Riyad Mahrez is going to start against Real Madrid tomorrow, i'm pretty sure Pep is going to play Bernado Silva over him in that right side of attack, whilst Mahrez is a very brilliant footballer, his work rate leaves a lot to be desired, and in big games such as this, when Pep needs all his players to contribute, both in defense and attack, Mahrez more often than not doesn't get picked.

Having said that, Bernado Silva is an excellent footballer, and with him, Halland and Grealish in attack, Real Madrid's defense would have their hands full, i'm pretty sure it'd be a midfield trio of Rodri, Gundogan and Kevin de bruyne, i can't really predict the defense, with Ake out of this game due to injury, i expect Pep to make some tweaks in defense, and we'd see about that when the teamsheets are out tomorrow.

Guardiola should be looking for the best alternative and means to get Real Madrid out of the Champions League this season by now. For several years, the club has been a threat to him winning the trophy. He should have mastered their strategy by now and be able to defeat Real Madrid in the league this time around.
Several coaches, including Guardiola, who have experienced how to play with Madrid, always admit that Ancelotti can always release his players from the opponent's pressure. Therefore, it's not surprising that Pep Guardiola said that if any club wants to win the Champions League trophy, they only need to conquer one thing first, namely to beat Madrid and the road to the trophy is always easier. Even though he is currently being strengthened by Haaland as executor, Pep Guardiola still cannot calm down and is always on his guard.

I definitely do consider that City is the best team in the world right now, definitely feels like they are doing as well as hoped for and I think they have the perfect fit for every position and that's the beauty of it. I wouldn't consider any of their players as weak in any spot, and that makes them super good. Just look at fifa for example, the TOTS cards are filled with City players, even though Arsenal got the whole season as leader this season.
Every season of the Champions League, Manchester City has always been an extraordinary club and has no shortage of quality players. As for this season, it is clear that the chance to win a trophy in the semifinals must go through Madrid, so Manchester City has no other choice but to make the most of it for the dream of winning a trophy that they have never touched.

Real Madrid is a team that cannot be underestimated when they are in the Champions League, even though their performances at the domestic level are not good.
The factor of luck, winning mentality, and the quality of safe players like Modric, Benzema, Kross, and Courtois can always motivate young players to stay calm and have bright minds. Even though the opponent is a strong team this season in the Premier League and has Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Mahrez, and many more, for Benzema and his friends just need to play calmly and always focus. Not only that, supported by the experience of 14x UCL trophies, it can be seen how Madrid is used to the atmosphere of competition in the UCL and for.

Now City is different than before, and Madrid is no exception. City have a stronger squad. plus, Haaland is a scoring monster.  while Madrid, lost Casemiro. there are two significant differences, although both teams have their own advantages.

Speaking of Madrid, yes, winning the Copa del Rey can be a strong motivation to overthrow City in this semi-final match. but maybe, fitness problems can interfere with their performance in the match later. playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, Don Carlo's team should be able to take advantage of it to get maximum results. if not, it's hard to overthrow City when playing at the Etihad Stadium. in this match, City will probably lose Nathan Ake who has problems with his calf. although Pep has a replacement option, it looks like there will be a slight change in strategy. Like it or not, Real Madrid must win the battle at home. but if the opposite happens, then City is very capable of overthrowing Madrid with a landslide score. To be honest, I can't wait for this fight.
I definitely do consider that City is the best team in the world right now, definitely feels like they are doing as well as hoped for and I think they have the perfect fit for every position and that's the beauty of it. I wouldn't consider any of their players as weak in any spot, and that makes them super good. Just look at fifa for example, the TOTS cards are filled with City players, even though Arsenal got the whole season as leader this season.

All in all they will probably win the league, and if possible they will probably get UCL as well, and on top of that they may get the FA cup as well which I think they probably will win. That will make it 3 cups already, then super cup (europa winner vs ucl winner) which I think City may, so that's 4, and then fa cup vs league winner (which it will be both but I guess they will play against united) which will make it 5, and then fifa world club cup which is 6. Only 2 teams ever done it, and City could be third to do it this year.

Sometimes modric was giving long pass with high accuracy that was also helping his teammates to create fast counter attack. Modric has been participating in training before the match against osassuna but i think that if ancelotti keeps him for the match against manchester city which is far more important than against osassuna. It's likely that if modric will able to play against manchester city.

I totally agree that Lukas Modric's departure whenever it happens will make a huge difference even with the presence of Tchouameni or Ceballos, either of these players cannot match Modric's brilliance and work rate in the team. If Kevin De Bruyne makes the first leg it will definitely boosts Manchester City's advantage going into the game.
Modric has everything that's needed by real madrid. He is smart, full with experiencem, accuracy on his passing and many more. Ceballos and ameni were not matching to be compared with modric. The gap is very big.
Modric can be considerd as veteran player as well which has more knowledge and experience compared with ameni and ceballos. That's why losing modric was giving great impact to the performance from real madrid.

Pep Guardiola squad is in the best condition after being unbeaten in its last 20 matches in all competitions, 17 wins and 3 draws in that duration. Guardiola was a little more calm about the condition of his team before the match vs Real Madrid started. Guardiola main fleet is in the best performance, especially Haaland who has scored 12 goals in the Champions League.
That impressive streak does not mean anything if they can not beat Real Madrid, go to Champions League final match and take the trophy. They don't need to have that streak and even can have worse one but if they win Champions League, it is their big achievement. Some clubs in history won Champions League even they didn't not have dominating performances.

Quote
Although Real Madrid has just won the CDR trophy, its overall performance is not stable. Real Madrid has suffered two defeats in the last five matches in two different competitions.
It comes from La Liga when their players no longer focus on it completely. They knew that Barcelona just count down time to lift La Liga trophy and Real Madrid effort will be wasted.

Quote
Ancelotti must focus more on stopping the movement of Haaland, who has always been active in scoring goals. In the last game, when Manchester City managed to get rid of one of the other champions, Bayern Munich, Haaland managed to score two goals in two legs. Ancelotti has to watch out for Haaland goal productivity, especially since Real Madrid have conceded 7 goals in their last five matches.
Manchester City don't only have Haaland and the striker himself is not only able to score goals but also able to make assists, key passes and contribute for the club tactics and operation. In latest matches, like in the big match with Arsenal in Premier League, Haaland was used not to score goals but to help Kevin De Bruyne have great space and opportunities to score goals for Manchester City.

Pep can repeat that approach in semi finals with Real Madrid and that approach will make Manchester City operation more flexible and dangerous.

Madrid is not a new opponent for Pep in this matter so of course he already has a full picture of what he has to do now but the problem is the condition of Madrid which is always surprising in the competition that is done so the scheme that Pep does can always be broken.
Now they have to keep trying to organize so that the strategy that is done works well.
There is some hope for players like Mahrez, KDB and Haaland now for them.

In my opinion, this time Real Madrid will find it difficult to face Manchester City because the performance of the two teams in the 2022-2023 season, Manchester City is superior to Real Madrid.

This season Manchester City are quite confident in all the competitions they participate in. By having a fairly evenly distributed squad on all fronts, it is not impossible for City to be able to get a treble winner. This meeting is the umpteenth time meeting for both teams. Pep Guardiola is also very ambitious to give The Citizens the Champions League title for the first time.

Facing Real Madrid in the Champions League is not an easy matter, especially since Ancelotti's troops are in high motivation after winning the Copa del Rey. Indeed, Los Blancos' condition is not as stable compared to their opponent, but given the experience in the Champions League, Manchester City must be wary of winning the most titles in Europe.

It is not an easy game but would be very interesting from the first minute to the very last of it
Both have won the weekend games they have
The match between madrid against manchester city were always become hardest match in UCL. Any seconds from that match is always very interesting to be watched. I guess that if billion eyes will be watching that match.
The hype is really really big for manchester city vs real madrid. It's caused by two best striker in the world is facing each other and this will also prove which striker that will be holding the name as the best striker in the world this time.
Erlin haaland is doing various preparation to face real madrid. Real madrid is always become the biggest opponent for pep guardiola. I do fee that if guardiola is very confidence with its squad right now.


Real Madrid wonnthe finals against osasuna and Man City won against the relegated Leeds united side both sides are likely to score goals
Real madrid gets mentality boosting after it was getting copa del rey trophy. It's the time for madrid to get another trophy again. Real madrid was winning last season. It will be so good if real madrid will able to repeat the same performance like last season.
I count in rodrygo to create dramatic goal against manchester city.
I think Real Madrid is thinking about the Champions League every time now. Because one of the reasons is the opponent Manchester City. It will be very difficult for Real Madrid to secure victory against Manchester City. Real Madrid will need to implement a new strategy if they want to beat this team. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola is a great personality and he will make Manchester City great to beat Real Madrid.

They failed in La Liga but they succeed in Copa Del Rey. At UCL, they performed quite well. So, it is a big mistake if people underestimate Real Madrid, they are still a favorite team for the title.
It's quite understandable why Manchester City is the favorite and not Real Madrid, maybe the assessment is how the two teams perform in domestic matches, where Manchester City has appeared more impressive than Real Madrid, which this season has failed to defend the LaLiga title, Man City has not even lost in the EPL in the last few matches they have always scored at least 2-4 in every game in contrast to Real Madrid, sometimes they can lose to a team they think they will beat easily so doubts arise.

From this fact, if you check the odds at the bookmakers then you will see that even though the first match will be a match where Real Madrid is the host but they are also not the favorites, Real Madrid @3.15 and Man City @2.21 with a draw @3.25. So City are really the favorite in the champions league this time but Madrid fans will still think of their club as champions Madrid has very good statistics in the champions league so I also think that in this first leg, Madrid will win and with the odds they have it would give an attractive profit if you want to bet on Madrid to win, and the second match will be different but very dependent on the first leg.
