Madrid is a killer for EPL clubs.

Even if Real Madrid are playing poorly in the La Liga, they can still win Manchester City that are playing very well and were able to remove Bayern Munich. Just as the game between Manchester City and Arsenal is considered the finals in the premier league, this game between Real Madrid and Manchester City will majorly determine who wins the Champions league. Both teams have quality in their team and have advantage whenever they play at home, it will be a very interesting game, Benzema on one end, Halland on the other. De Bruyne at one end, Modric at the other. Grealish at one end, Vini Jr at the other.

For this season Real Madrid really have seemed solid against the Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea in the play offs. However there is a reason behind their being this much dominant as well. Because Liverpool and Chelsea are both having a terrible season now. Chelsea are in an even worse condition in the Premier League for example. We should take this fact into account as well.
However Manchester City are the complete opposite of these two clubs this season. They are like unstoppable recently at the same time. Like I said before Haaland is the biggest change in the club for this season and his impact on the club is so big that he is going to be remembered as a very special player in the club history.

I don't think Real Madrid's not-so-good performance in the Spanish La Liga should be a yardstick to measure how they're gonna performance in the UEFA Champions League competition. Yesterday's defeat against Girona in their league match, I think was caused by the fact that Real Madrid wasn't playing out their heart in that match. As a matter of fact, they rested some of their key players in other to retain their energy and keep them fully fit for the match against Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City won't even want to rate Madrid by their performance in their league because Madrid is known as specialists when it comes to the Champions League competition.

I agree with you. La Liga's performance should not be compared with Champions League performance. Inter Milan and AC Milan are performing very poorly in Serie A. But two teams have managed to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
At the same time, the Real Madrid coach understands very well that Madrid has no chance of winning the La Liga title. And so the Madrid team is not performing well with full effort in La Liga matches. The star players are performing very carefully so that they do not face injuries before the Champions League match. The Madrid team is in a good position in the Champions League.
The match will essentially be Guardiola vs Ancelotti match. Both coaches are very experienced. I think the one who will have a good match strategy, will be able to identify the opponent's weaknesses, he will win.

Manchester City cannot be compared to Liverpool and Chelsea this season. Because Chelsea and Liverpool are really in a terrible inconsistency. especially Chelsea. Even this season, Chelsea have fired their coach twice, namely Tuchel and Potter. Manchester City really has quality far above Chelsea and Liverpool for now. So I might be happy to favor Manchester city this time. Last season Manchester City made a bit of carelessness at the end of the match which made Real Madrid score 3 goals in the final minute. and I think Manchester city have learned from their experience last season. So this time Manchester city is much more prepared than before.

Agreed, the performance of Manchester City can not be compared to that of the above team mentioned by you because both teams (Chelsea and Liverpool having been struggling to win matches since the beginning of the season till this time and though City has had a copy of ups and downs in their performance but yet they have been the better side when compared with Chelsea and Liverpool. In the game between Real Madrid and Manchester City, I do not think Manchester City is the favourite to win in the match even though they have had a good campaign in the champions league this season. The Madrid team is full of experienc starting from the coach and the players and they have had good record as the best team when it comes to Champions league I think it will be a big mistake to right them off simply because they aren't doing so well in the Laliga or because they lost a game against Gerona last night

Yes experience is the best teacher and I can attest that City has learnt how to play Real Madrid but looking at the performance of Real Madrid in the Champions league do you think they can easily lose against Manchester City? I think the performance of the team will determine who will progress to the finals.

In my opinion this match is going to be the highlight of the season. Real Madrid does not appear to be focusing on LaLiga after Barcelona took a significant advantage in the standings so it’s very important for them beating such a strong opponent. Many fans and supporters are not giving the white house any chance of winning the UCL which is logical based on each team's recent results we clearly see that’s true and we can give a big advantage for Manchester City. However both teams have a history together in past UCL versions and we may see Manchester seeking revenge this time.

Halaand’s team is currently one of the strongest European teams thanks to Guardiola's tactics and his wise choices with players on his bench, allowing his superstars to rest for important games. His goal in clear agreement with the Manchester City leaderships is to win all possible trophies this season after missing out on them in previous seasons. Despite this formidable combination I am still going to put my bets on Real Madrid XD

Real Madrid's semi-final first leg against Manchester City is getting closer in a few weeks, but Real Madrid has not been consistent in their domestic league. Actually I'm not surprised by the poor results for Real Madrid in the domestic league, it's just that it could be a problem if they make a mistake against Manchester City later. Moreover, they will host the first leg, they must first target victory at home before playing the second leg away at the Etihad Stadium later.

For manchester city they are very consistent in all competitions and they are in very good form this season. Even so, I still hope that Real Madrid will surprise the champions league, especially de javu like last season, it will really surprise everyone if Real Madrid can get rid of Manchester City again.

Last season Real also played against 3 English clubs, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool and was better in all those matches.
I think you agree that Chelsea and Liverpool played much better last season but still had no chance against Real.
It seems to me that Real likes to play against English clubs and mostly always wins, and I somehow have a feeling that Real will win again and win another Champions League, and that history will repeat itself.
Manchester City brought in a great striker, Haaland, but I don't think it will be enough for them to beat Real.
It's hard to describe it in words, but Real has something that no other club in Europe has, a kind of charisma, an invincible character, an inexplicable x-factor that makes them always win in uncertain and open matches of the Champions League.

I'm also not going to judge Real Madrid's strength from their performance in La Liga for the Champions League, because it could be that at this point Real Madrid prefers to save the energy of its players and a precise strategy to use in matches in the Champions League. So that Real Madrid at this point are not really paying attention to La Liga anymore for the rest of this season.

And in general, the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match will obviously be very interesting because Manchester City has enormous motivation to be able to beat Real Madrid, which already has many trophies in the Champions League. And Real Madrid itself will also continue to try to add to their trophy again this season in the Champions League, so there is a possibility that the match will be very interesting.

Haaland is a key player for Manchester City and there is no doubt here of course. But against Manchester City the danger is that you focus too much on Haaland while forgetting that essentially every player of Manchester City is dangerous and able to score goals. This is what makes City so strong. All eyes are on Haaland and it costs so much energy already to shut his game down, but you still have all those other guys.

Manchester City were strong already and in the past season, without Haaland, they mostly beat Real Madrid until very last minutes. They decided to buy Haaland to find goals from head shots and situations when their midfielders can not score goals like a classic striker. However if Haaland is constrained by Real Madrid defenders, they still have more attacking players to make differences.

I think the result of this match will depend a lot on the performance of Haaland and Benzema. However, the Real Madrid team is overly dependent on Benzema. We saw Madrid's performance against Girona. Real Madrid had 72% of the ball possession but lost the match 4-2. And so if Benzema doesn't play well against Manchester City then Madrid won't win. However, the Manchester City team is not overly dependent on Haaland. Although Haaland is their main striker, they have some excellent players in their squad like Grealish, Mahrez, Alvarez, Bernardo Silva, and De Bruyne. And so in this match, I want to keep Manchester City ahead.

With consecutive wins won by Man City, they are a team that is very strong and consistently wins, until later when they face Real Madrid, this will be a fierce match between the strongest teams in this league, but big opportunities will still come. obtained by Man City, I really hope for an epic match in the match later

The performance from real madrid and manchester city are equal at this moment. The only thing that makes it different is about how consistent the performance from club in the domestic league. I would not say if the domestic league was an important bench mark to determine the performance from the club during the match in UCL. I am considering the consistency of the club in domestic league as one of the variables that will help the club to win the match.

Manchester city was almost eliminating real madrid last season. Rodrygo has become a savior for madrid caused by he was making additional goal that was making madrid qualified for the final and win the trophy.
The same scenario may happen again. Manchester city has haalaand, and that guy is a very good striker this time.

He is even more popular compared with benzema. The thing that must not be forgotten if madrid has best defenders this time.
Madrid was beating liverpool and chelsea in a row.

Madrid is a killer for EPL clubs.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City is the match most awaited by world football fans. Both of these teams are struggling again to be the best in mainland Europe. This time Manchester City is highly favored to achieve success for the first time in Europe. I agree with you that performance in the domestic league is not a benchmark. But if you look at the current performance of the two teams and the strength of the squad, Madrid must be very careful, but what makes this match different is that Real Madrid is the former defending champion and the current king of Europe, then the Whites players also have quite a lot of experience. at the biggest tournament in Europe. So for that the two teams have the same opportunity, but I will be more sure that Manchester City will qualify for the final and become champions.

despite the fact that any

These are the current odds I see for the Champions League winner. Of course there is a huge gap between Manchester City and the other teams and it doesn't make me surprised at all. I don't remember the previous season exactly about whether the odds were similar back then again. But I think there is an extra factor this season to affect the odds in a very positive way for Manchester City.

This factor is obviously Haaland. His impact on the team has been enormous so far. He is a complete goal machine and hard to be stopped. Manchester City were still a very productive team without him of course but this season is still different. They have a complete forward in the lineup and he is like the biggest talent in his position nowadays. I can't wait to watch his clashing with Benzema in both legs. Grin

I don't care how favorite Manchester City are in the Champions League this season, it certainly won't make me feel less confident to support Real Madrid to qualify for the final. If Manchester City deserved to go through, we (Real Madrid) deserved to do it too. In fact it may never be the same as they predicted, I mean, Real Madrid is a team that can always get out of big pressure even from a team that seems to be the favorite.

I have no doubts about Real Madrid's chances in the semi-finals this season, but we just have to raise our guard about some of Manchester City's players who are the most dangerous scourge. Haaland is a great player, productive striker this season in all the competitions he has played for Manchester City, so he has to be the main focus in defense.

I have no doubt about any of the teams qualifying for the final as both sides have played very well to have reached this stage and also have met previously and City was eliminated from reaching the final the 94th-minute penalty from Karim Benzema sealed, the most not likely to happen comeback from the Spanish champions. to break city's hearts nobody expected a late drama to come when city made the opening breakthrough city lowered their guard, energy, and intensity over that game, and Madrid took advantage of it, just as you rightly stated that Madrid knows how to get over pressure, man city made mistake and the learned the bitter way. They won't make sure mistake again they now understand that Madrid attacking display in particular is a reminder of their enduring threat and this has made them build their performance against Madrid with their current form Madrid defence so far has been poor and. Haaland is a complete weapon of how a striker should be will be mounting pressure on the defense of Madrid, I can tell you that, yes it is going to be a tough match between the two, but Manchester City would be playing in the final.

Manchester City this season is much stronger than last season but Real Madrid is the same way even though Real Madrid is not consistent in their domestic league but I don't think it will affect their performance in the UCL semi-final against Manchester City.

They have very decent forms in Champions League and only are different in their domestic leagues. Real Madrid lost more points in La Liga and nearly lose it to Barcelona while Manchester City still have active condition to take Premier League trophy against Arsenal. In general, they both have great forms latest weeks which will make their semi finals are so interesting. It is more exciting as they just met each other in the past season in semi finals too.

Last season, Manchester City was also very favored against Real Madrid and maybe what made the difference this time for Manchester City was that they had Haaland in the starting line-up. I admit that Haaland is a monster for any top European team at the moment, including Real Madrid. It's just that even though Manchester City has Haaland it doesn't mean they can guarantee victory. While Real Madrid's squad is still the same as last season, maybe what's different is that some of the young Los Blancos players are now starting to process being better than last season and all Real Madrid players have a winning mentality throughout the season. But for Manchester City, even though they have extraordinary squad depth, they still don't have a winning mentality so far. Maybe it's Manchester City's shortcomings until now that have made them often fail to win the Champions League trophy for the first time.

To be fair there was a reason why they were favoured and they did win the series up until 88th minute of the second game. That was a great series for City and they just got unlucky at the last five minutes, that gave the Real the win, just two goals from Rodrygo that changed everything suddenly.

This season we are going to see Haaland be a problem for Madrid defense as well, how are they going to hold him down? I do not think that it will be possible and City has a chance to score at any moment, even if Real tries to attack, one country where they just throw the ball ahead could mean Haaland getting the ball and destroying anyone on his path. We may see Rudiger become like Upamecano as well, so there is a lot more chances this year without a doubt.

I'm not so sure about Real Madrid's defense right now even though they have the best defenders right now in Militao and Rudiger. But I am more focused on Camavinga's development, he could be a reliable tackler at the back line for Real Madrid. We know very well how his interceptions or tackles are always on point and that is the perfect value for one of the best young defensive midfielders currently owned by Real Madrid. I think maybe Ancelotti will be given an important role to help protect Haaland in the game and if that works, then Real Madrid will be easier to win the game against Manchester City.

Haaland is a key player for Manchester City and there is no doubt here of course. But against Manchester City the danger is that you focus too much on Haaland while forgetting that essentially every player of Manchester City is dangerous and able to score goals. This is what makes City so strong. All eyes are on Haaland and it costs so much energy already to shut his game down, but you still have all those other guys.

But Real Madrid's quality is similar. They have a lot of guys on the pitch who can score goals and this is why this game will be so exciting to watch, I am sure about that. Both have very strong offensive and defensive lines and both have outstanding midfielders who can perfectly control the pace of the game. This is going to be a festival for every soccer fan around the world.

This season should be very different for Manchester City. They have a striker who threatens the most chances of any other team, of course I mean Haaland. But of course Manchester City are still not experienced enough in the Champions League so it's always possible to expect them to fall short despite being favourites. In fact beating Real Madrid is never easy for whoever you are, but there are always opportunities. I support Manchester City, while I don't belittle Real Madrid.

Haaland is like an alien to the world of football because in the most competitive league in the world he was able to make a lot of history this season with Manchester City. So from that, I'm sure Manchester City is lucky enough to have Haaland and hope he's fit enough to face Real Madrid. One of the big hopes for Manchester City is the Ucl trophy which they have never won so far. only this season has been the most perfect season for them.

Real Madrid players will definitely be wary of Haaland movements and in this context I think he will get quite tight guard from Real Madrid lower player. I think if it is successful then it will be difficult for Haaland to develop the space to prevent him from scoring. But that is only a shadow and not necessarily a priority for Ancelotti because they know how to deal with a strong team.
