The Real Madrid vs Manchester City match is the most interesting, but the Milan derby is also interesting. Manchester City may be lucky as they are away from home in the first leg, so they have a chance to do better at the Etihad in the second leg. If City lose the first leg then I hope it won't be too big on aggregate, but discussion of the result seems premature.

I'm favorites Manchester City to impress in the semi-finals and qualify for the final. But I think they really had to fight hard to beat the reigning champions last season. Madrid are still the best in the competition, but that doesn't mean they will be as lucky as the previous season to qualify for the final.

There isn't going to be a big difference between Milan and Inter like there was between Milan and Napoli. Even in that problematic situation Milan found a way to eliminate Napoli. They weren't performing good in both legs but still made it to the semi finals. Lucky them that Inter will be a more balanced matchup for them. Because their matches between also prove my point here. These matches were really competitive taking the final results into account as well. Milan must be able to play their own game a little more comfortable.

But this won't still be easy for any side on one hand. They are both hungry for the biggest success they can achieve here which is to qualify for the final stage most probably. Because I wouldn't expect any of them to win against Real Madrid or Manchester City there. For now my favourite is Milan.

In the champions league, we had two important and amazing games ahead, the match against Real Madrid and Manchester City is important because Mancshter can have the chance to in the champions league title for the first time in their history and Inter Milan Ac Milan is going to be interesting because, in the last game, they had Inter Milan won the game against Ac Milan in Serie A with a 1-0 result while with time Inter Molan is not in a good situation and there is a high chance for them to lose this match against Ac Milan.

If you talk about experience and mentality, then you have to put Real Madrid ahead. But if you talk about technical strategy, then I think Pep Guardiola is also an expert. Pep and Ancelotti have won the Champions League title in their coaching history. Guardiola did it during his tenure as coach of Barcelona, ​​but Ancelotti has proven it with two different clubs (Real Madrid and Milan).

The highlight of the semi-final match will not only be about squad depth, star players or team performance, but the success of the coach will also be highlighted to find out who is most likely to qualify for the final. While I really hope that Benzema and Vinicius won't miss those two semi final match, that means I don't expect them to be injured ahead of the match.

IMO, the Champions League can never be separated from luck. just imagine, Napoli collapsed, Benfica collapsed. in fact, these two teams are more worthy than their opponents. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side, inseparable from other factors and causes. well, so did the Real Madrid vs City match. we'll see, which team is the luckiest to qualify for the next phase. why do I say that, yes, because in this competition, points are not prioritized, unlike in the league. In the league, each team plays 34/38 matches in a season.

While in the Champions League, only two home and away meetings. then, move on to the next phase. but by the way, this fight is certainly very exciting. because after all, these two teams are giants in their respective leagues. when they should have, the two teams met in the Champions League final.

To be honest, I lean more towards Pep Guardiola's style. I saw Pep, full of tactics. Manchester City game, not too focused on individual skills. however, on a team play system and that's why they are so rock solid. plus, it has a scoring monster. As for Madrid, to be honest I have no doubts about Don Carlo's team. because, this team always proves that they can get out under pressure. plus. Madrid's luck factor is very high. and if, Benzema and vini Jr. are On Fire, these two players are almost difficult to stop. well, in essence I see that both teams have their respective advantages. about the results, we'll discuss it later before the match starts.

Inter Milan - AC Milan can fall in any direction in principle, Inter does have a stronger team, but not so strong that AC Milan would have no chance. Both beautiful clubs, a Milanese club in the final is already certain. Real Madrid Inter Milan would also be a great game, but we all think City will play the final. It would also be nice for Madrid to start a duel well. Last year it seemed to be without a chance for quite a long time, until Benzema had some brilliant ideas in the games before. 0-3 down against Chelsea at home was still repaired.

@len01 mean, that Milan is an experienced team in the Champions League because of the many titles it has won in the past, while Manchester City have never won since they took part in the Champions League until this season. Manchester City's greatest achievement is reaching the final, while they have yet to win the title.

Milan, City, Real Madrid and Inter deserve to be in the final as long as they are able to win tickets for their efforts and hard work. I will appreciate whoever goes through, from whoever is between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the final then they are the ones who will win the title in my opinion.

I agree that City is not guaranteed to see the finals just yet, Real is a huge club when it comes to UCL and they could still get a big win, they may not be as good or dominant as last year but they are still a great club and could beat anyone when it comes to UCL.

However, I feel like City this season is much better than City last season as well, specially due to Haaland who could score from anywhere in any position, dude is a beast. All in all I feel like we are going to see a big matchup there. Milan on the other hand is not a huge club that is easily here, a shock that they even managed to beat Napoli, I honestly believed Napoli would have an easy win but they failed. So, it is going to be a hard game for them to beat Inter as well, should be a difficult choice. All in all it will be a proper finals whoever goes there.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be great. Because both the teams are in one of the best form. But my personal opinion is that it would be great if these two teams reach the final. But we will celebrate the semi-final match in a grand way.

Too much has been expected from Madrid and Man City
What happens when they don't win the champions league now
We should not over look the strength of the two Milans in the uefa champions league competition right now

Benzema did an amazing work for Real Madrid in the previous season as you know. He had a huge role in taking that title by eliminating very strong opponents in the Champions League. But I'm having my doubts about him to have the same level of performance again now. At least he can have a big difficulty in competing with Haaland about scoring goals. Because Haaland is like nearly two times better than Benzema about the number of goals scored this season.

Haaland is running to a record in the English Premier League as well. I don't see often that some defenders are able to stop Haaland from being effective. He is very impressive in every way and he is proving this many times by scoring every kind of goals.    Benzema is much more experienced maybe but he already had his most impressive season of his career in the previous season. Manchester City can be more advantageous in this matchup as a result in my opinion.

Bookmaker quotes for this type of outcomes are very funny in my opinion:

UEFA Champions League - Winning Country

England 1.66

Italy 3.90

Spain 4.25

In my opinion, Italy is underestimated - after all, they are already guaranteed to have one team in the final. England is overrated - quotes are as if City are already in the final and lead 1-0 in the first half. It will be a shame if City win the Champions League, but anyway I would not agree that such quotes fairly reflect the chances of the teams.

It is impossible to predict which two teams will qualify for the finals. Inter Milan is a strong team. On the other hand, AC Milan is able to perform very well in every Champions League match. Even Milan's performance against Napoli in the quarter-finals was excellent. Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are favorites for the Champions League title. Both have strong squads. And now both teams are in very good form. And so it is impossible to predict which team will be ahead in the semi-finals. But I think either Real Madrid or Manchester City will win the title.

Haaland is a player who can make a difference for City, who play great football. Real Madrid may play a little less attractive football, but is very fast and good from the counter. As Benzema has decided games for Real Madrid last season, Haaland could very well do the same for City in this edition. But maybe City is so good at the moment that they just get a round further with normal goals. After all, the sadness of the lost final against Chelsea must be put away.

The chance for non italian club to win UCL is far bigger compared with italian clubs itself. As far as i can see that if italian clubs were not always consistent with its performance. Manchester city needs to surpass real madrid first. It will be a hard task consider real madrid was able making comeback against manchester city last season. I would like to agree with you if the last match is coming too fast. It must be more interesting to see real madrid to face manchester city in the final.
Pep guardiola has been preparing haaland for the match against real madrid. It's not yet clear about what kind of strategy that will be used by manchester city when it will face real madrid. Will real madrid use the same scenario again?
I do know that if anyone is relying in haaland to help city wins UCL this season too.

Ancelotti will not even only sit and did nothing. Ancelotti is currently in the process of constructing a successful game plan against manchester city.
The fact that if these days real madrid has been known as a team with specialization in comeback against its opponent.

In the entire history of football, perhaps, but Real Madrid definitely has the best numbers in the last 10 years. No one even comes close. The title last year was very nice but not just based on luck of course. Benzema has had a lot of influence but as a team collective they were also good. And against teams like City and PSG you also need some luck, but that also seems normal to me. Those are very good. Basically we are going to see a great match between these 2 giants. AC Milan - Inter seems nice for the atmosphere, especially in the city.

ya.ya.yo!

AC Milan is one of the most successful teams in winning the CL. Of course they are no longer as good as they were in the 80s and 90s, but against Inter they have a serious chance to get through. The bookies believe in Inter Milan's title chances, but Manchester City is really the absolute favorite in this case. Real Madrid should not be underestimated. Benzema and Modric are players of the caliber that Guardiola would also like to have in his team at City. But we may not get many goals like last season. A fun and action packed game.

AC Milan used to might be have good history with 7 titles but we have to see the current fact that other teams such as Real Madrid or Manchester City had better performance compared to them even these teams is stronger than Milan and indeed after long time finally we see Milan will fight for champion league title again although since the beginning of season people were underestimate them and against Inter i am sure both teams will give their best for this match because they want to made a history

Milan opponent Inter were return to winning ways today after humiliated Empoli with huge scores 3-0 and this maybe good sign for Inter because i am sure this result will boosted their mentally but it's hard to predicted who is the winner of this match because their conditions is not so different but my predictions is although Milan or Inter will advances to final match but they will not going to win the title and i think the champion of this season is between Manchester City or Real Madrid

We can only talk about the efficiency and experience of Manchester City and AC Milan if both clubs finally eliminates their UEFA Champions League semi final opponents and make it to the final.
For now both teams has mountain to climb to achieve that  because Real Madrid who's the most successful club in the competition are City's opponents and even though Manchester City are cruising past their opponents in their recent matches, Madrid is one team that can still beat them while AC Milan will have to defeat their city rivals Inter to play at the final. The two ties are so tight that anyone can win against their opponents.

Manchester City, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern, are among the teams where at least 2 of them will make it to the semifinals. City and Real Madrid made it this time but unfortunately they will have to face each other next otherwise it would be an excellent final game. The winner between them have to face one of the Milano teams. I think even that the winner between Real Madrid and City will be the winner of this version of Champions League.
