You are right. AC Milan and Inter Milan's performances this season have been erratic. They have won against strong opponents and dropped points against relatively weaker teams. I have lost money in several of these matches betting on these two teams. And so it becomes difficult to predict how these two teams will perform against each other. Both teams have equal chances of winning. As they have qualified for the semi-finals. So I think both the teams have the potential to qualify for the finals. Looking forward to watching the match. Expect the match to be very exciting and competitive.

At first glance it seems that City are in better shape now, this is most likely the case, but this is Real Madrid, they know how to concentrate on one game, that is, regardless of their results, they are able to play a great game, so underestimating Real Madrid who reached the semi-finals would be stupid of Guardiola. City really look like a team that can win this Champions League, but we know many examples where experience is more important than current form.

As Manchester City start to progress in the English Premier League, the Champions League semi-finalists I believe so far will beat Real Madrid to reach the final. However, I think Real Madrid's attacking players are better than their defensive players. Real Madrid will have to use great tactics to stop Manchester City's attack if they want to win the match.

Even before this news about Luca Modric, Manchester City had a higher chance to beat Real Madrid, especially in the first because they are in better form and they can have a better performance compared to Real Madrid because of the previous games we saw from both teams and now the absence of Modric in can increase the possibility for Manchester City to win this game.

The UEFA Champions League final would have been more interesting if Manchester City and Real Madrid had played the final. But not like this. Because the opponents in the semi-finals are Real Madrid and Manchester City. Either of these two teams will advance to the Champions League final and the other will be eliminated from the semi-finals.  Looking at the performance of these two teams at present, there is no way to understand which team will be more likely to reach the UEFA Champions League final. Manchester City has been performing well everywhere from the Premier League to the FA Cup Champions League. But rivals Real Madrid are always favorites for the Champions League.  So at the moment it is difficult to say which team is the favorite for the Champions League. We must wait, there is no choice but to wait.

This definitely a prediction and not really knowing it. I mean sure Milan does look like they are better, but the difference is not huge enough to make it work, I personally believe that there is going to be a small difference between the two clubs and we are going to end up seeing two teams fight until the final whistle as well.

I wouldn't consider the game done if Milan was leading 2-0 on the last game, anything could happen and it will happen so we should just consider that as an option to keep it going. I know that it is going to cause a lot of trouble for many people because since we do not know who will win, there will be plenty of people who will bet on both sides and it won't be just very heavy bet on single side, I think that is an important factor without a doubt.

I can't completely agree with you. Real Madrid were not in such form last season. Madrid was a very strong team last season. Special was in full form. But the scenario this season is slightly different. I am not saying that Madrid is not in good form. However, their performance is somewhat erratic. Benzema has also suffered several injuries. He is not able to perform as well as last season this season. Also, Manchester City have probably won 3 of their last 4 matches against Madrid.

Still, I'm not underestimating the Madrid team. I know this team has the ability to beat any big team. Also, coach Ancelotti is very experienced. But the Manchester City team seems to be my favorite in this match.

Manchester city are overhype in games compared to Real Madrid. It's important to state out the clear facts among both clubs, the Los blancos have the experience and confidence to win any opponents when it comes to UCL games while Manchester city have good records in UCL and also EPL. They got eliminated by real Madrid last season, although they will not take it easy on with real Madrid. However I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti have a way he absorbed the pressure from Pep Guardiola, he always sort out good goal opportunities against English clubs. Erling Haaland is not a threat because if city midfield is comprehended by Madrid, Haaland won't be able to net a single goal in the game.

What is very interesting about this semi-final match is because of these two coaches, namely Pep Guardiola (Man City) & Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid). Both of these coaches have good experience in the Champions League. like Pep Guardiola who has also brought Barcelona to win the Champions League trophy twice in the past. but unfortunately after leaving Barcelona Pep Guardiola has not got it back like when he coached Bayern and now the opportunity for Pep Gurdiola is open again to bring his team to win the title in the Champions League.

But Carlo Ancelotti is also a coach who has experience in bringing his team to victory in the Champions League. So that the Man City vs Real Madrid match, even though it is in the semi-finals, definitely has a match atmosphere like in the finals. because it is not only bringing together reliable players between the two teams. but this match also brought together two reliable and experienced coaches to win the UCL trophy.

In theory, Manchester City will be superior because in terms of performance, of course, with the current odds, it is still quite large what is expected of them, especially Manchester City fans making bets, but Real Madrid will always have a surprise at the end, I can't say about This LaLiga is clearly different when Real Madrid is in the UCL.

Both are big teams, but looking at last season Real Madrid was able to come back but this season might be different from the previous season, on the other hand, I see Manchester City's potential is quite big but I won't forget that Real Madrid is the defending champion.

Well, I know that many have a lot of faith in Napoli, but I think that Napoli does not have it so easy here, they have the last game left to see if it happens or not, and although everything is possible, personally I still believe that a A good UCL final is that it's between Milan and Madrid, I don't know, I think some who are Madrid fans Understand me, obviously if it reaches this final, I would like Real Madrid to win, but as far as As far as I am concerned, I think that the best thing here is what we think of as our tastes and even feelings, I would like that final, but Napoli is also a very strong team and I know that in their last game they will come out with everything they have .



I also think the same, for me there is no other team that is stronger in this UCL season, I do not deny that Haaland is a player who can solve a game quickly, and if Pep is a great strategist, I imagine that he has already studied Madrid from above and below and he himself recognizes that Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, he also knows that if Ancelotti assigns 2 players so that Haaland does nothing, he will disable him and let 10 players play in attack completely, this The game will be very interesting, I think that the winner here will be Madrid.

I see Manchester City as the favorites of this tournament since the beginning of the season but I think the odds are not really balanced. Manchester City are a better team than Real Madrid and they will make up for last year's accident in this match, but I did not find these odds realistic.

I think Pep Guardiola will use Kyle Walker to stop Vinicius. If he makes this move, he will have tied the hands of Real Madrid. Because this move will also weaken Benzema's effectiveness. I wonder what Ancelotti will do to stop Haaland. I wouldn't want to be in his place.

The bookmakers do not consider so many things before they release odds but in a popular match as yhe one between Real Madrid and Manchester City, all the stats are available and the bookmakers must have investigated well. Most times they chose to play mind games to deceive the gamblers.
But for this match while bookmakers favoured Manchester could be because of these reasons;
1. Manchester City is more in form than Real Madrid
2. Some key Madrid players are already out because of injuries. Player such as Modric and Militao

The game will be played, and one team will undoubtedly qualify for the finals, albeit we are unsure which one due to their outstanding individual performances. The final game is the real deal. I don't think any of these clubs, assuming they make it to the final, will be able to face either of the other two teams in the semifinals, Real Madrid or Manchester City. I know champions league finals are usually intense and fierce, but I doubt this one will be given the teams who will face each other in the finals.

Manchester City are the best this season, even with the target of winning the champions league Manchester City are very strong to continue to to maintain their performance in the English Premier League.  It is not easy for a team to win Premier league for the season which is known as one of the toughest league and still strong to win  champions league.  Manchester City have always proved good they are in every game by scoring good numbers goals .

Of course pep Guardiola is a great coach and can always learn from his mistakes to later make things right. Manchester City ending  the season with such a great performance and achievement is something that may still  reflect in the next season,  Manchester city doesn't seem like a team that will decline in their performance.

This is clear enough and even fair enough for what has been presented by the bookmakers where the city has a big consequence to be given high odds, this is none other than their slick performance in recent times. However changes will occur to the odds currently presented as the day approaches the first leg of the match.

I think Manchester City will be able to fulfill their dream of winning the Champions League trophy this season and they will do this in the first leg at the Bernabeu Stadium to steal victory even though the opponents they face are the defending champions, but in terms of performance the two are very much different in this season. Something is being contemplated and a decent bet is chasing high odds.

The presence of two big clubs from the Italian League in the Champions League Semi-finals this season was actually quite a surprise for all of us. The reason is that since the group stage I'm quite sure that very few predicted that Inter Milan and AC Milan would make it to the Semi-finals.

The majority of us all have even more high hopes for Napoli and Benfica who will qualify for the semi-finals. But football is sometimes difficult to predict.

The cause of Napoli not qualifying for the Semi-finals is very clear, namely because several of Napoli's mainstay players had suffered injuries and were unable to strengthen Napoli in the first leg of the quarter-finals against AC Milan. So that Napoli lost their spearhead in the match. so that Napoli have difficulty completing every attack they build and every opportunity they get. So that AC Milan's defense became calmer and finally AC Milan was able to win even with a thin score.

But what happened to Inter Milan vs Benfica in the Quarter-finals is something that even makes me a little bit in disbelief to this day. Because as we can see Inter Milan in that match really played very well. Even Inter Milan's attack line, which is usually always problematic, became very sharp in this match. Although overall Benfica's game was still better in that match. but still, inter milan's solid defense is difficult to penetrate. Even in Serie A, Napoli always have difficulty penetrating Inter Milan's defense. So when Inter Milan, who has a solid defense, also turns out to have an effective attack, Inter Milan can indeed be a team that will be difficult to face.

And another unique fact in the Champions League this season is that 3 teams from the Italian League managed to qualify for the quarter-finals and then left 2 teams that qualified for the semi-finals. Doesn't this mean Italian League football is starting to get its strength back in the Champions League. because even last season no team from the Italian League qualified for the semi-finals. Even AC Milan fell in the group stage last season. And the last time AC Milan qualified for the semi-finals was in the 2006-2007 season. and this season they again qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League. Inter Milan has also not qualified for the semi-finals for a long time. And the last time they qualified for the semi-finals was in the 2009-2010 season. And now these two teams are bringing pride back to the Italian League that now teams from the Italian League are starting to show their resurgence in the Champions League.

But my prediction still doesn't change. that is, I will favor Inter Milan in the semi-final match later. Although AC Milan looks more consistent at the moment. but I want to trust Inter Milan this time.

In that match, AC Milan really performed very well. every attack they built, was done well by the Milan players. On the other hand, when Napoli lost Osimhen due to an injury, Lucio Spalletti's team found it difficult to penetrate Milan's goal. well, since the defeat in the Domestic League. the odds in Champions League matches change, even matches tend to be draws. proven Milan won the match in the first leg. in the second leg, Milan was able to play very well again even though Napoli actually controlled the game. which in the end, Milan qualified for the next round.

Right, both Inter Milan and AC Milan both have the chance to qualify for the next phase. Moreover, these two teams are city rivals.  Milan proved capable of beating Napoli, Inter was able to play beyond expectations against Benfica. for sure, these two teams both gave us a surprise. For now, I can't come to a conclusion. I think, let's see and enjoy these two teams going game by game in the Domestic League.

There are even some analysts who think that Real Madrid is the favorite to continue. On the basis of the statistics of recent years, that might also be justified. City sometimes plays really perfect football, but when you win so often with easy numbers without problems, it also means that you never have to chase or win games purely on willpower. Because they win so often easily at City, the fighting spirit and motivation may not be tested enough. And that is precisely something that Real Madrid is very good at. I think I might start thinking more towards the 50-50%. And even if City were to go into the 2nd game with a 2-0 lead, there is still a chance for Real Madrid. Real Madrid can play the first game at home. Would that be an advantage or a disadvantage? Maybe it doesn't matter at all for these two teams. In any case, Real Madrid must ensure that it does not lose the first game at home.

Though I've not really been following the match of this two teams like back to back, but from the few matches I've watch the both team play respectively, I agree with you, AC Milan and inter Milan are two great team that are really good at what they do, but then, if this two teams are meeting, I will give the victory to AC Milan, I am not going to go into details as to why I think AC Milan will win, but let this just be as a prediction from me, inter Milan is great, but AC Milan is better based on my observations.
