But personally I think Manchester City deserves to win the Champions League this season. Because of the consistency, solidity of the team and the performance they have shown throughout the season both in the local league and in the UCL has impressed me with this team. But in the Champions League, excellence cannot be measured only by the team's ability to play. but also must be assessed in terms of the mentality of the players. And Real Madrid excels in this regard. But still I will support Manchester City. because they need the award.

Talking about who deserves to win the UEFA Champions League, I think the two clubs deserves to win it. Manchester City has had an awesome season so far both in the domestic games and the European competition so winning the Champions League that has eluded the club since it's formation will make the season historical one for the club.
Real Madrid in the other hand has had a not so good campaign in their domestic league so retaining the Champions League will save their season and make it a remarkable one as well. The two teams are the best among the remaining four team in the competition, so whoever wins the title among them rightly deserves it

You are right. But I feel that Inter Milan and Ac Milan cannot be underestimated either. Both of these teams have had a not-so-good level of consistency in Serie A. But they surprised us by advancing to the semi-finals beating far-favored Benfica and Napoli.

And now we are sure that Real Madrid or Man City will win. depending on who passes to the final between these two teams. But I feel that unexpected things can happen in the final. Although I expected Man City. but in the end everyone has an equal chance this time.

Maybe Haaland's achievement as the top scorer in one season in the EPL made everyone really favor Manchester City against Real Madrid in the semifinals later. But I think that reason is quite reasonable because Haaland is a predator in attack for Manchester City, but they sometimes forget the fact that Real Madrid is no stranger to the Champions League competition and they proved it by lifting this trophy 14 times.

Haaland is experiencing his best days and he is playing in the champions league he even have the chance to win the Champions League for the first time in the history of his team and the first time in his life which can show us how important is the game for him against Real Madrid, but the Ancelotti I know will not be an easy opponent for Manchester City which can make this game very much unpredictable.
To be honest I was expecting to see these two teams playing against each other in the final match.

Man City have been thwarted several times by Madrid in the UCL but this time maybe they have learned a lot that the Champions League atmosphere is not only about quality players because if you talk about quality, of course this season PSG has the ideal squad. Therefore all ranks of Man City must have planned something that could surprise Madrid. Even though they have failed to win a trophy many times, it motivates the Man City players to continue and continue to work harder. Encouraged by Haaland rare ability to bring fresh air so that Man City's self-confidence is stronger.

Real madrid must be able to stop the movements of Manchester City's sharp strikers if they want their goal not to be threatened a lot, but the problem at Manchester City is not only Erling Haaland who has the ability to score goals well, other players can also be an option if Erling Haaland succeeds to stop it, this is what Carlo Ancelotti has to really think about so they don't concede too many goals.

Real madrid can do that. As long as the club will able to perform so well against manchester city and beating city won't be a hard task for real madrid. The main problem if this team real madrid is not in the best form. Madrid needs to make sure if it will have good defensive line when it will be facing manchester city. Manchester city can be considered as a team with the best attack in the world right now. Erling haaland was making manchester city even more crazy than before. He was always making more and more record in EPL. Real madrid's defender shall try to take care of him as the strongest striker that must be prevented first. It's very good to make sure if de bruyne and haaland as the main target this time.
It will be far better for real madrid caused by city will be facing more difficulty to build attack. It will become the main job from rudiger and its team mates.
thibaut curtois must also perform so good against manchester city to block any shoots that came from its opponent.

Even if real madrid are in top shape beating man city will remain extreamly difficult i think both kroos and modric will be needed to take care of de bruyne but that doesn't mean it will stop man city since they have many other dangerous players who are capable of creating and scoring goals, i think this is real madrid greatest challenge in the ucl in recent years.

Haaland is experiencing his best days and he is playing in the champions league he even have the chance to win the Champions League for the first time in the history of his team and the first time in his life which can show us how important is the game for him against Real Madrid, but the Ancelotti I know will not be an easy opponent for Manchester City which can make this game very much unpredictable.
To be honest I was expecting to see these two teams playing against each other in the final match.

This semi-final deserves a final and I hope that City this time can convert and keep their advantage against Real because last time it was a very upsetting loss when they conceded twice at the very end and let Real beat them. All Guardiola had to do at that time was calm their players and just bring the match to victory, but this is a bitter experience, which I am sure was a good lesson for them.

Erling Haaland's decision to move to Manchester city and Manchester City's decision to sign Erling Haaland were very good decisions taken by both parties. Now Manchester City has a striker who is very hungry for goals, and Haaland has a strong team to compete in European competitions, such as this Champions League. This is one of the best transfers of the season.

let's see, I'm a little skeptical about it
Guardiola is a great coach, a great coach
but Carlo Ancelotti has a lot of experience to sell
both as a player
both as a coach

I think he wins Real Madrid, sorry

of course is only my opinion

The competition between the two coaches will be presented again in this very interesting match. Carlo Nacelotti has composure and that puts him at an even greater advantage. Just look at their previous meeting in the Champions League, Ancelotti didn't panic at all when his team fell behind. Indeed, today may be very much different from the previous match, but that is a good capital for them.

I have no doubt that Coach Guardiola is very experienced. But I would blame Guardiola for Manchester City's failure to reach the semi-finals and final of the Champions League in the last few seasons. In the last two seasons, we have seen Guardiola apply strange match tactics in semi-finals and finals. Manchester City players probably could not adapt themselves well to the match strategy, hence they were defeated. Manchester City might have won if the players could adapt themselves well to Guardiola's match strategy. But one should not take risks in such an important match. However, maybe Guardiola will apply a new match strategy this season as well. And so I would say this match will have a 50-50 chance of winning.

This is problem with Guardiola and Manchester City for the years they have never been confident in big games specially while they are in Champions League now this is tested case for them can they break this jinx and have double in this season, or again we are going to face same situation which is happening to them in years right now things completely in favour of Manchester City as Real Madrid is facing some issues which are preventing them from having their best game so it is good time for taking advantage.

But as already mentioned can Guardiola will be at his best with new strategy and improved performance, or we will have same old-fashioned tactics which will bring them down from this last four spot, and they have to wait for next season again with most chances we will have changes and different results in my opinion.

Even last season Manchester City was very proud but in the end they had to lose with their high confidence.
At the moment the chances of both teams are still very big even with Manchester City's very deadly conditions but Madrid also has a good enough depth of the squad, it's just that the problem of physical fitness has always been the main real problem until now for Madrid.

Many people said this season gonna be difference caused by there was haaland in manchester city's side. I don't even know why people don't even count benzema at this moment as this guy has ever won d'or as best striker in the world.
Real madrid has been facing so many schedules which were having short time gap. Ancelotti is also sacrifice some points in laliga for the preparation against manchester city soon. Real madrid is a toughest opponent in UCL now.
It's also able beating any big clubs even when real madrid is under very big pressure. I don't even know why people are always underestimating real madrid since last season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid will definitely try to suppress and adjust the tempo of the match so that Manchester City is not too aggressive in attacking. But the first leg was at the Santiago Bernabeu and I think Real Madrid must win absolutely.

I feel like both Milan and Inter have equal chances to win this series, and this is why I am going to bet on home teams to win their own games, that is what I said before and that is what it will be like for my bets. I think the difference is negligible and they are not going to be overcoming each other easily. Obviously this is football and sometimes you have a bad day and you lose to teams you should not lose at all.

There are plenty of great teams who ended up losing as well, and that means whoever is as far as this much, should consider that as a good deal. I seriously believed that Napoli would have been able to beat Milan, it was a sad period when they lost, I lost a lot of money there, so I am going to be more careful this time around and not think it is in the bag.

AC Milan was impressive in first half of this season, but recently they are on decline which is surely not good sign as things are heading for the end we need better performance from them, but they fail to maintain their performance with their defence is also terrible but Inter is surely having aggressive approach in last few weeks which is helping them for having better results and their defence is also working better even we have many Italian sides in top ranks of UEFA, but their performance is surely not as par we need for competitive results.

For this semifinal prediction is never been easy because derby matches are never been easy with any team on match-day can go through into positive shape, and we can expect surprise but as Milan beats Napoli this was really amazing which is also can go through for them like we have for Real Madrid in Champions League matches both darling teams can face each other as well.

Indeed, derby matches are very difficult to predict, especially when they share the same San Siro stadium. Milan have started to play worse in Serie A, but let's look at how they played their four matches against Napoli in April. Two draws and two wins against the leader of the standings. This is a very good result, so for Inter Milan they are still a very strong opponent.

Real Madrid is surely not having the best of season in their domestic league but one thing about the club is that they know how to play in the Champions League competition.
Manchester on the other hand has been exceptionally great this season both in the domestic games and in the UEFA Champions League competition but I still don't think that it gives them an edge over Real Madrid. Manchester City got eliminated by Madrid at this same stage of the competition last season and will surely wanna take a revenge this time but it'll be a very hard for them to achieve that against the most successful club in the competition

Their extensive experience and the status of defending champions for now, of course, can make a spirit booster for them.
Manchester City are a tough opponent and we know that but Madrid are also quite special because given their condition they are always capable of doing things that were thought to be impossible even for the Champions League like last season.

But personally I think Manchester City deserves to win the Champions League this season. Because of the consistency, solidity of the team and the performance they have shown throughout the season both in the local league and in the UCL has impressed me with this team.

Manchester City did not buy Haaland to win more Premier League titles or have a striker who win a Best scorer award in Premier League. They have enough quality players to dominate Premier League in last 10 years. Haaland came to help them solving their difficulty in Champions League and he will be one of biggest hopes of Manchester City in semi finals with Real Madrid.

With Haaland, Manchester City will have a striker who can score goals from headshots which they were very bad in previous seasons and more than that Haaland can be a target and middle man to make key passes to Manchester City attacking players. Real Madrid will have to spend player resource to follow Haaland but at the same time they will have to cope with risk from other attacking players of Manchester City.

Maybe we will see that these two teams will appear very careful, we know that even though Manchester City has a revenge mission, it will not go smoothly if they have gaps.

I don't think they will play two semi finals to revenge Real Madrid for their disappointed defeat in the last season. They won't put themselves at pressure of revenge like this. They simply need to play those matches with intention to win and have a Champions League final match after that.

it is undeniable that people will prefer to see Haaland over Benzema just because Haaland is currently the best player trend so that everyone favors Man City more in this champions league. even though if people want to look at the history of Benzema's journey he is also one of the best players from Real Madrid and for me Benzema can match Haaland's game later when the match takes place in the first leg. and on the other hand, the experience that Real Madrid has gained in the UCL is very much that has made Real Madrid's prestige very good, which deserves to be seen positively in order to get a title in the UCL.

but after all these two teams are indeed very good from the previous match which was very impressive and Man City has the strength that is very ready to compete against Real Madrid and I think Ancelotti will manage all the performance of his players to qualify for the final round.

Real madrid must be able to stop the movements of Manchester City's sharp strikers if they want their goal not to be threatened a lot, but the problem at Manchester City is not only Erling Haaland who has the ability to score goals well, other players can also be an option if Erling Haaland succeeds to stop it, this is what Carlo Ancelotti has to really think about so they don't concede too many goals.

As I said in the La Liga thread, Barcelona's victory is now 100% certain, so Real Madrid can let go and devote themselves exclusively to the cup.
I think Real Madris are a bit angry, I expect them to play aggressive

Even though they have lost the title in La Liga, I think Real Madrid just needs to motivate their confidence to reach the Champions League final and don't need to be more aggressive. Moreover, their opponent is Manchester City, which has a monster goal scorer, Erling Haaland, Real Madrid should still be wary of this player so he can't move freely. Los Blancos' focus is divided into two, but the main and closest mission before the semifinal match is to play the CDR final match against Osasuna, so after the match is over especially if Real Madrid can win the CDR then they will have additional enthusiasm when they face Manchester City later.

How do you motivate when the moral is low, it is not about the gingering Real Madrid, it is about their capability to deal with Manchester City. This whole week has been about Pep Guardiola and how they are dealing with other clubs in Premier League, have you seen any recent news in Spanish League that Real Madrid are playing efficiencely? I guess that is No because they are performing quack and if they are not playing great, I don't know how they want to fight Manchester City.

I have came across a recent news about Haaland behaviour how he frightend and annoyed players that attacks him, may be that is why he always get away with those behaviours, Real Madrid has lot of work to do and a killer switch that will attack him.

Correct. Although mentally Real Madrid might be superior. But in terms of performance I think at this point we are all aware that Manchester City is better. But recently I read the news about complaints of displeasure from Real Madrid regarding the schedule of the semi-final first leg against Manchester city which will take place on the 9th of may. They are complaining because 3 days before the semi-final in the Champions League Real Madrid has the final scheduled in the Copa del Rey against Osasuna. Real Madrid may feel they don't have much time to prepare after the game against Osasuna. But to be honest, I suspect that Real Madrid actually lack confidence and want more preparation time against Manchester City. This is just my assumption or speculation. But I'm pretty sure Real Madrid also see Manchester City as a team that will cause them trouble.

Real Madrid is surely not having the best of season in their domestic league but one thing about the club is that they know how to play in the Champions League competition.
Manchester on the other hand has been exceptionally great this season both in the domestic games and in the UEFA Champions League competition but I still don't think that it gives them an edge over Real Madrid. Manchester City got eliminated by Madrid at this same stage of the competition last season and will surely wanna take a revenge this time but it'll be a very hard for them to achieve that against the most successful club in the competition

Their extensive experience and the status of defending champions for now, of course, can make a spirit booster for them.
Manchester City are a tough opponent and we know that but Madrid are also quite special because given their condition they are always capable of doing things that were thought to be impossible even for the Champions League like last season.

But personally I think Manchester City deserves to win the Champions League this season. Because of the consistency, solidity of the team and the performance they have shown throughout the season both in the local league and in the UCL has impressed me with this team. But in the Champions League, excellence cannot be measured only by the team's ability to play. but also must be assessed in terms of the mentality of the players. And Real Madrid excels in this regard. But still I will support Manchester City. because they need the award.

Every season we have seen the favourite Manchester City team for the Champions League title. And as usual, this team is the favourite for the Champions League title this season. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win the title. Because in the last few seasons, we have seen City's performance suddenly deteriorate in the semi-finals or finals and the team get badly beaten. Last season, the team was eliminated from the Champions League after an unfortunate 3-1 defeat against Madrid. And they lost against Chelsea in the previous season as well. Madrid is a very strong opponent this season. Even so, I would say that Manchester City can be considered favourites in this match.

yeah right. Because we often see unexpected things in the world of football. especially when it's about the Champions League. with the level of the most stringent and hottest competition. so that everything can happen beyond our predictions. And indeed Man City has always been the favorite in the last few seasons. but in the end they always failed to win the title. Even last season they were off guard in the last minutes so that Real Madrid could win. well, even this season Man city is the favorite but we still can't predict the final result.

I have no doubt that Coach Guardiola is very experienced. But I would blame Guardiola for Manchester City's failure to reach the semi-finals and final of the Champions League in the last few seasons. In the last two seasons, we have seen Guardiola apply strange match tactics in semi-finals and finals. Manchester City players probably could not adapt themselves well to the match strategy, hence they were defeated. Manchester City might have won if the players could adapt themselves well to Guardiola's match strategy. But one should not take risks in such an important match. However, maybe Guardiola will apply a new match strategy this season as well. And so I would say this match will have a 50-50 chance of winning.
