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.

Any strong teams right now deserves the chance to win UCL. As long as real madrid can fix the problem in the defensive line and it will make manchester city need to try even harder to win the game against real madrid. I hope that madrid gonna win in the first leg with huge scores.
This is also making manchester city lose its spirit in the second leg. I shall remind you that if city will face real madrid. It's a sensational club with so many dramatic comeback and ability to change the situation drastically. Haaland and Bruyne will have become only players that needs to be seriously guarded. There shall not be free space to be given for them caused by haaland and bruyne were the brain from manchester city. The match to prove which club that will have become the number one in europa is coming again soon.

I do like how real madrid is always performing consistently in UCL compared domestic league.

We shall not also forget another match that is also happening soon. The duel between duo milan is also pretty interesting match too. it's caused by the rivalry from these clubs have been happening since a long time ago.
I guess that if intermilan gonna be a team that will be qualified to the final.

Man city is very deadly at this moment and will not give any chance to Real Madrid to kick them out from the semifinals. This might be an opportunity for city to take revenge on Real Madrid,but the match wouldn't be an easy one. Real Madrid might come out on that day to surprise their fans as they have always being the league favorite. Even when they are not in a good form,they do take some matches more serious and I think this is one of those matches.

Wasn't it like that last season too?
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.

Real madrid is a team that full of surprise. You shall remember that if real madrid was making a bunch of comebacks against the big team. I don't even know why people are seeing it with only a half of their eyes.

Pep known so well how strong real madrid is and he is not even trying to underestimate the squads that owned by ancelotti. Real madrid was beating manchester city last season. The same result may happen again even though manchester city is owning haaland right now. It's caused by real madrid is also having the best squads in the world right now. Real madrid is also doing some preparations to beat manchester city. I think that real madrid gonna win this match against manchester city, defensive line has become the main problem for real madrid right now.

Real madrid conceded so many goals against almeria, girona and sociedad. Ancelotti is very hard to accept the truth. There is also a rumor if ancelotti may leave from real and xabi coming in.
The match against city gonna be another epic match to come again soon. i can't wait to see what kind of composition that will be used by ancelotti in the defensive line.

Man city is very deadly at this moment and will not give any chance to Real Madrid to kick them out from the semifinals.

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.

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.

Real madrid must be aggressive and they need strong concentration and teamwork to achieve victory when they face Manchester City. The failure of Real Madrid hopes in the Laliga has caused them great disappointment. Real madrid must turn away from the bad situation in Laliga and focus on the Champions League because their opponents are quite strong and difficult to beat if they are not too aggressive.

I see that there are a number of things that they need to fix as soon as possible to be able to return to their best form before this match takes place. there is still time for ancelotti to do this job, i hope he can present a stronger game than what they presented in the Laliga game. On the Manchester City side, of course, Real Madrid decline in performance will be an advantage for them to take advantage of this in the match later.

Comparing the two Napoli clubs to Milan in the champions league is unfair.
This is all because of course clubs that enter the champions league will have higher performance than in series A and of course all clubs that qualify for the champions league will certainly improve all strategies and the quality of the players will certainly be better in the champions league.

yes, everything the team does can be different when they are going to compete in a more tense atmosphere. UCL will always provide its prestige when the team can appear thereby facing several other strong European teams.
Napoli failed this season, but they can prepare for next season better. because now they see how the team they can beat in the local league can be stronger when they are in the UCL round.
Milan and Inter, they are strong teams who deserve to compete in this semi-final. although Milan is also having a very difficult time getting into the top 4 of the Serie A standings because the competition is very tight there.

I agree with this.
Not meaning to belittle the quality of Serie A clubs Inter or Milan but looking at the conditions Manchester City and Real Madrid today it is clear they are far superior and indeed I am also still quite sure of the conditions where if one of them, be it Manchester City or Madrid, wins then indirectly the champion will be determined from there.

Currently, mostly soccer pundits are feeling winner from the match of Real Madrid vs Manchester City could be the winner of the event which is acceptable even we have improvement in Serie A teams but still mostly are inconsistent with having not quality to compete with them in current season we have 5 teams from Serie A which are in UEFA events and doing good job but still it's not easy for them to win event like this with their current level of quality and performance they need to be improved in coming time if they want to win from here.

Recently both AC Milan and Inter are drooping from league table with losing matches or having draws against weaker sides which are surely lacking of quality for the top Italian teams but as they are having better things in this season we can expect good changes in future which will surely improve and have better results.

Indeed, the improvement in Serie A this season, especially for the Champions League, is clearly felt, especially when their 3 candidates are in the quarter finals.
But as you said they are not very good in terms of condition and consistency and it looks like a big difference from their competition in domestic matches.
Even though at this time many would say their focus is the Champions League, on the other hand it is actually a negative thing from those who are not able to compete in Serie A this season.

Manchester City should be able to become one of the finalists this time. It is the obvious truth that they are stronger than Real Madrid on paper. There is a huge Haaland effect in this to happen also. As you might have heard he has broken a record in the Premier League new. He now has the most goals scored in a Premier League season. He is such a special striker in football history already at this young age.

He will be their most powerful gun against Real Madrid also. So far there hasn't been any defense which is able defend Haaland solidly. He has such a strong physique that it is very difficult to go one-on-one with him. His finishing skills are also unique. We have already seen so many kinds of goals from him. I don't think Real Madrid defense is also credible enough to keep him away. Therefore Real Madrid had better be more solid at scoring goals to try to make up for possible defensive problems.

I have them to win UCL this year and beating Real Madrid in next series might prove just that. However , I still don't underestimate Real as whenever it comes to UCL games , Real becomes another team that is mega hard to beat and play against because simple mistakes are automatically punished by Real. This year , City doesn't look fragile in any category and with Haaland in a great day , I doubt Courtais can stop him and Real do have a lot of fragile spots when they play against a team like City who do have a stile of Barca who kinda beat them 3 out of 4 games this year so yea...City is clearly favorite in this one. Cool

They are writing their history in Manchester City and I'm sure Guardiola will be remembered in this team because Manchester City is very much near to even winning the champions league for the first time in this hosty while they could never even be in the final match, that's why I think they have a good motivation for this game and Real Madrid is in danger more than any time.

I believe that Inter and Milan are at similar strength right now. I don't think it will be the same for Milan as a result after facing a very tough challenge against Napoli in the previous round. They should be able to balance the game in both legs this time. The stadium is the same for both teams in the end so technically there is no home-away situation exactly.

Milan seem like they have lost their concentration a little in the Serie A. Because they had big issues with beating Cremonese the last time and couldn't as well. Maybe they have their mind on the Champions League now. They had better have because there is a huge opportunity to reach the finale in their hands.

Yes, after being eliminate from the top of the Serie A standings, Milan can focus more on the semifinals of the Champions League
As for Inter, they is under pressure from other teams in Serie A. It makes them confused and I think Inter need to sacrifice one in between the Champions League and Serie A to continue fight to the ambition of lift trophy this season.
The Inter vs Milan match in the semifinals of the Champions League will be much more difficult to predict

But if we follow the progress of the match between Inter Milan and Ac Milan in Serie A. So it seems that the semi-final match in the Champions League is starting to show which one will be more favored. Because it is precisely at this time in Serie A that Ac milan has really lost their sharpness in building attacks. Even though the pride that Ac Milan has is their line of attack which is sharp and hard to stop when they have had the chance. But the situation in Serie A is currently slightly reversed. Because recently Inter Milan has actually developed and started to become a more productive team in producing goals. Even Inter Milan managed to score 6 goals against Verona.

So betting on Inter Milan in the Semi-finals will look more interesting.

I don't think who the opponent is. But I hope Real Madrid win and reach the final. Although I know Man City are a great team. They are very different from last year. Pep has very different players and I think stronger and they have a greater chance of winning. Last year Real Madrid went to the Etihad in the first leg and secured qualification for the second leg. This year is a little bit different and I think it's more difficult.

Indeed, last year Real Madrid had a very difficult time defeating Man City in the two-leg match. During the game at Bernabeu between Madrid and Man City, it seemed that Man City had the upper hand and widened the aggregate score gap to 5-3 in their favor. With only 17 minutes left, everyone was convinced that Man City would advance to the final. However, fate favored the home team greatly. In the remaining 17 minutes, Madrid was able to score 2 goals, and an additional goal during extra time.

Can Madrid hope for such luck again in this year's match? It is safer to bet on the number of goals rather than on who will win.

The Champions League semi-final this time will indeed be more difficult for Real Madrid. and I doubt there will be the same magic as last season. And actually last season Real Madrid got a miracle that I haven't seen in other matches. because actually the 3 goals in the second leg all happened in just 5 minutes, namely between minutes 90 to extra minutes 91 and 95. And last season was also a nightmare for Man City. So this season Man City will definitely try to avenge the painful defeat suffered by Man City in the semi-finals last season.

Yes Ancellotti and his tactics might work or have been working for Real Madrid in the Champions League, but then if they bring how they shamefully loss to Villarreal, Real Sociedad, then they can not find it easy winning Manchester City in the Champions League.
Manchester City has it all to get to that level, a great coach, great players and having the support of the fans.
I really do think that this is the last round for Real Madrid in the Champions League.

I'm also expecting Inter Milan to make the move the the finals, it's no more on Ac Milan.

I think Real Madris are a bit angry, I expect them to play aggressive

At least Real Madrid has a great chance of lifting the trophy in the Copa del Rey. but indeed it will not be enough for a big team like Real Madrid. So they certainly will be more aggressive in the Champions League. but since the beginning of the Champions League at the start of this season, Real Madrid has actually become a team that focuses on the UCL. so they become hard to beat in the UCL. but in Laliga sometimes they play badly.

Even if Real madrid wins the copa del rey they won't still be satisfied because they have been targeting champions league, their focus in the Champions league is what has kept them till this point. For the fact that Real Madrid has more interest in champions league, they stand a chance of winning just like the way they they won in previous season. People are using real madrid performance in laliga to assess if really they can win in champions league. Real Madrid's game in the finals will be different from what we have seen in laliga

It is undeniable that Real Madrid's main focus is the Champions League, even from the start of the season at Laliga. I still remember that in the UCL group stage even Real Madrid played very well in the Champions League. but in Laliga they are like a team that has lost its way. at that time Real Madrid's performance in Laliga and in the UCL was like two opposite poles. because Real Madrid can consistently maintain their best performance in the UCL. although in Laliga they seemed to be struggling at the time. But in the end Real Madrid played very well. in laliga and UCL. and at least Real Madrid has also secured a ticket to the UCL next season and is trying to return. if they fail to make it to the finals this season in the UCL.

I consider AC Milan as favorites in this match. Qualified for the semi-finals by defeating strong teams like Napoli. Milan's performance in Serie A is not very good as we know. However, in the Champions League, they are performing very well. I believe they will be able to continue this streak. I do not consider the Inter Milan team to be weak. This group is very strong. And in very good form they are. They have won all three matches in Serie A. Inter Milan's chances of winning are not low. But my favorite team in this match will be AC Milan. The match will surely be very competitive. Inter Milan vs AC Milan matches are always very exciting.

Both of these clubs have the ability to beat each other, and to be honest it will be difficult to predict who will win in this match. Many make AC Milan the favourite, but not a few also want Inter Milan to be in the final. As for the match, of course the match will be very interesting, we know they are rivals in Serie A so besides fighting for the final place here they will also play with very high prestige, and want to beat each other.

Comparing the two Napoli clubs to Milan in the champions league is unfair.
This is all because of course clubs that enter the champions league will have higher performance than in series A and of course all clubs that qualify for the champions league will certainly improve all strategies and the quality of the players will certainly be better in the champions league.

Manchester City should be able to become one of the finalists this time. It is the obvious truth that they are stronger than Real Madrid on paper. There is a huge Haaland effect in this to happen also. As you might have heard he has broken a record in the Premier League new. He now has the most goals scored in a Premier League season. He is such a special striker in football history already at this young age.

He will be their most powerful gun against Real Madrid also. So far there hasn't been any defense which is able defend Haaland solidly. He has such a strong physique that it is very difficult to go one-on-one with him. His finishing skills are also unique. We have already seen so many kinds of goals from him. I don't think Real Madrid defense is also credible enough to keep him away. Therefore Real Madrid had better be more solid at scoring goals to try to make up for possible defensive problems.
