Experience in this semi-final will decide everything. Real Madrid have a lot of experience in the history of the Champions League and many cups. Manchester City can only boast that they played in the final against Chelsea in 2021 and lost. I think they can't win this year either and will lose to Real. Real are here to win another title like they did last year.

For this season I have a slightly different belief than what you said because this season Manchester City has played well and extraordinary in every match in the Champions League so that Manchester City can reach the semifinals again this season in the Champions League.

So that Manchester City has the possibility to win the Champions League title this season even though Manchester City has to fight a team that already has many trophies and experience in the Champions League. I think the only thing that can prevent Manchester City from winning the Champions League this season is luck, because that is a very difficult factor for anyone to reach.

Your belief is well-founded, Manchester City has managed to maintain its quality when other EPL teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea are having a bad period at the start of the season. The presence of several new ammunition in the Manchester City squad has made them even more favored in the UCL. Manchester City have also learned from last season's failures that prevented them from achieving their long-cherished dream.

The record as the club that has collected the most UCL trophies does not mean that Real Madrid cannot be beaten, this season Real Madrid appearance has experienced a slight decline which made them almost lose the La Liga trophy. Pep Guardiola will try to suppress Real Madrid in every way possible, a win over Real Madrid will open a wider path for Manchester City to get a trophy that has never been won in the club's history.

Manchester city and real madrid are currently fighting for the treble winners now. I see that how serious pep guardiola was thinking about how to beat real madrid in the upcoming match. Real madrid will be also facing very busy schedule soon. It's very hard to keep the team to be very healthy. Ancelotti is also thinking very hard about how to prevent players from becoming exhausted due to a busy schedule. Real madrid is the strongest club in UCL. Manchester city was losing last season against madrid. Will city repeat the same result against real madrid soon? This is a very interesting question for us. City will be playing with haaland as the main striker. This is also making the team become different.

Real madrid and manchester city have same chances to be qualified for the final but it seemed to me if real madrid had more chance compared with manchester city. City has haaland but he has not ever meet real madrid before.
Real madrid is everything in all of lines. I would like to call that as perfect team

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City is the Champions League final before the main final. Both teams have so many things in common. Both of them are chasing trebles and they are both second in their leagues. Both teams are coached by two of the best coaches in the world. Manchester City has a better opportunity in the EPL because if they can win all their games, Arsenal will be forced to the second position. But Real Madrid has little or no chance to win La Liga because Barcelona is leading with eleven points.

For me, Manchester City has a better side to win the semifinals because they have been consistent this season, and their attackers a slightly sharper than Real Madrid. Generally, this match cannot be predicted because of the quality of both sides. The winner of this game might likely be the winner of the UCL this season.

Pep Guardiola has been impressive this season though he has always been that standout manager even in previous seasons. It will be delight to see his team win all three trophies they are currently fighting for this season including the premier league and FA cup trophy. They are in very good form and it will be very interesting to see how they can survive Real Madrid in the semi finals.

I'm sure Guardiola will put pressure on their team to be able to win the game in the first leg so that Madrid doesn't have a chance to comeback, marid has a winning mentality sometimes they always surprise in the last minutes so Manchester City needs to play pressing at the start to create a lot goals through Haaland where he is a Manchester City goal machine who is very prolific in scoring goals while playing in Manchester City.

Haaland et al will certainly play as much as possible to avenge them last season which made Manchester City fail to reach the UCL final, the meeting between the two is eagerly awaited because this will be a good match to watch and many eyes will be on this match, I know madrid has a winning mentality but i'm sure this season's UCL belongs to manchester city.

@Pokapoka124 Pep is a perfectionist and he’ll want the very best from his team, hence I’m expecting a very entertaining game between these two sides. Also Haaland can give his audition for Real Madrid as they would be targeting a striker to replace Benzema, thus if he scores few goals against them then he’ll definitely pass his audition test of scoring in important games.

I must say Manchester City is better than Real Madrid in this season.

Casemiro leaving Real Madrid is a big lose, his performance is stable and he's very good with counter attack strategy. Yeah Real Madrid still have veteran midfielders e.g. Modric and Kroos, but their performance are decreasing due to their old ages. Tchouameni and Camavinga are still need to learn and get experiences. Rodrygo and Vinicius are same, they sometime play very good and sometime not, only Valverde had stable performance.

Now take a look with Manchester City, they have De Bruyne, Grealish, Mahrez, and Gundongan, all of them having stable performance. Actually Haaland don't have a stable performance, but even though he play not that good, his teammates can still score many goals without him.

Yes, Manchester city is better than Real Madrid in this season because the way Manchester city demonstrated in this champions league tournament to qualified for semi-finals easily showed that they are more stronger than Real Madrid. I believe, some of the players that left Real Madrid in this season really affected the team performance negatively because their performance was so poor, despite they made it to semi-final in the champion league competition. I think, Manchester city coach is doing a great job in this season, because his players are doing well in all their position that is giving their fans hope of winning this champions league title this season.

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

Yes, it's true that Real Madrid is the God of Fortune, always making surprises at the end of the game that can make the opponent think nothing of it. When compared from the front line, there is no doubt that Manchester City has Haland, who always acts as a goal-scoring machine and has scored 26 goals for Manchester City so far. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is still led by Benzema, who has just scored 25 goals. Meanwhile, in defense, Manchester City's goal is guarded by Ederson, who has so far appeared solid with only 4 goals conceded, while Real Madrid's goal is guarded by Courtois, who has conceded 8 times by opposing attackers. to avoid unwanted things from happening at the end of the game, Manchester City should have carried out a lot of attacks in the early minutes to score a few goals first, at least it can get into a safe position and this can make Real Madrid far from lucky.

I can't wait to see how Haaland is going to perform against Real Madrid because Haaland is a player with strong attacking powers while Real Madrid they have strong defenders too, in the other hand Karim Benzema can be a hope for Real Madrid. On one side we have Real Madrid with Karim Benzema and the other side has Haaland I think Haaland got better luck against Real Madrid to score goals.

Benzema is even better compared with haaland. If we are seeing based on the history and benzema has ever won ballon d'or as the best striker. It's not only benzema. You shall remember that if there are so many players in madrid who have same capability to make the goals. Valverde, rodrygo, Vini and many more. I remember when rodrygo was destroying manchester city last season by creating comeback against real madrid. Manchester city is strong but im thinking now if real madrid is in another level compared with manchester city. The consistency of real madrid is also very good at this moment. Madrid has won a trophy and it may increase as madrid become even closer to the copa del rey and UCL. Glad to see that if bookies were favoring city instead of real madrid.
That makes me feel so good with

Camavinga may also try to prevent haaland. It has alaba as well who is ready to block haaland's movement. Haaland has a good physic, but it doesn't mean if he can't be stopped.

I think whoever gets to the final from the Man City vs Real tie will win the trophy. The two Italian teams really aren't that good. I mean they’re 4th and 6th in Serie A.
I think it’s Man City’s year but this is Real’s playground, will be a fascinating watch.

I definitely agree with everyone in here that is saying that Manchester City is the strongest team in this season and therefore the big favorite to win the Champions League this year, BUT that was also already the case in the last year and the year before that but still they were not able to win that competition yet. I think that Pep Guardiola sometimes wants to make to special things when playing those very big matches like the semi-final or the final of the CL. He overcomplicates the game than and makes it harder for his team. He should just let them play as usual and they have a very high chance to win it this year.
Of course Real Madrid is still a very dangerous opponent and you also need luck, momentum and so on.

I am sure that none of the teams takes it as easy as you describe it here. If your implied assumption would hold any substance, how in the world did those two teams make it to the semifinals anyway? Names and ranks don't count so much anymore. Tottenham kicked out Manchester City in 2019 in the quarterfinals when nobody expected it at all.

The team winning the game between Real Madrid and Manchester City is going to be the favorite, but they have been the favorites right from the start, so nothing really changes. The final is also just a single game. There is no possibility to make up for mistakes or unlucky events of any kind. In a one game situation anything can happen.

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.

I'm sure Guardiola will put pressure on their team to be able to win the game in the first leg so that Madrid doesn't have a chance to comeback, marid has a winning mentality sometimes they always surprise in the last minutes so Manchester City needs to play pressing at the start to create a lot goals through Haaland where he is a Manchester City goal machine who is very prolific in scoring goals while playing in Manchester City.

Almost the entire squad that Real Madrid has this season is part of the success that Real Madrid achieved last season. This season Real Madrid appearance has been a little disturbed when compared to last season, Real Madrid is still very superior in the UCL but not in La Liga. Some of Real Madrid core players are no longer young, of course their increasing age greatly affects their appearance and they are also very vulnerable to injury.

They are still one of strongest teams in La Liga and Champions League. In La Liga, they got more troubles with uncertain performances of their attacking players and lost points with some unexpected draws which more regularly occurred after World Cup 2022. Their defense system sometimes is responsible for their draws too but in knock-out matches, they can play well and show value of experience.

In Champions League knock-out, experience can help you win a battle and fortunately in Real Madrid, they have not only experienced players but also have many good young players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni. They combine together very well to make a very dangerous and competitive Real Madrid in Champions League.

Quote

There is no doubt about the mentality of the Real Madrid players, but when compared to the quality of the squad that the two teams have this season, Manchester City's strength is more solid and productive than Real Madrid.

They still have many players who have won 5 or less Champions League titles with them in the last 10 years. With those players, I have no doubt about their strong mentality and it is not their problems. They more likely have problems with their physical bodies, fitness and strength as ageing is not avoid any player.

Yes,you can say this from your own side but from my own side,I will not use their domestic league performance to judge in UCL because both clubs haven't clashed this season and for this reason, I will say that the match is unpredictable. So far, so good the season,city haven't played a strong club out of England apart form Bayern who is facing difficulties in their club. This is the first time that Man city will be facing a big club and it is time for us to know what they got. Real Madrid a a tough club in UCL and the favourite remember this. This match will judge the finals. Any of these two clubs that qualifies to the finals,will win the league.

Yo mannn!!! where the fuck is that score was coming from? i guess that if you were not even watching the match. You were commenting without knowing nothing about it. Bayern was not even making a single goal in etihad and how can you give bayern two goals in the first leg?
I am not sure if you have seen this yet, but I thought it would be beneficial for you to watch a recap of the match. That will help you to create a better post with some knowledge of it. Other than it, Real madrid gonna be another strong opponent for manchester city.
Manchester city was losing against madrid last season. This can be revenge for manchester city at this moment. Pep guardiola sees real madrid as the biggest wall in UCL caused by this team is king of UCL.

Real are here to win another title like they did last year.

Real Madrid does have players who are much more experienced, but experienced players who are no longer young must have a slightly decreased performance. But what happened last season could happen again this season. Last season Real Madrid got up at the last minute and managed to beat Manchester city because of the mentality of the Real Madrid players who were strong and did not give up easily until the last second in the game. So the goals were created in the last minutes of the game. I think that match was the most dramatic match I saw in the Champions League and I can't forget that match until now.

Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 3-0 in the first leg of their QF tie at the Etihad, i don't really know where you got the 3-2 scoreline from, and the second leg at the Allianz Arena ended in a 1-1 draw, thus City won on aggregate 4-1. BTW i also think it is going to be City's season in the CL this time around, they have suffered quite a lot of heartbreaks and cruel eliminations in this tournament, but i think they are very much matured to beat Real Madrid this time around, and defeat whichever of the Milan club that makes it to the final.

You know there's no season that Manchester City are not prepared, infact they used to be champions league team of the season but there's always this Madrid problem for them. Being able to beat Real Madrid at the quarter-final, semi-finals or finals of the Champions League is not only the function of how good you play or how inform your club is, it is also a function of maturity, composure and experience.

Real Madrid is even ready and are the favorites in as much as Champions League is concerned. The only way Manchester City will survive is either Vinicius Junior or Benzema or both are injured.

Real Madrid does have players who are much more experienced, but experienced players who are no longer young must have a slightly decreased performance.
