The meeting of two big clubs from Serie A in the Champions League is indeed very interesting and worth watching. But if we follow the Serie A competition, then actually for this season Inter Milan can be said to be superior. But Inter Milan have problems in their attack. but for Inter Milan's back line it is quite solid. Even Napoli against Inter Milan in Serie A has always had trouble breaking through Inter Milan's defense which is so solid. Well different from Inter. Milan actually excels in attack and less good in defense this season.

but for the semi-final match between Milan and Inter at this time, to be honest, it will be more difficult to predict. because Both of these teams though have performed poorly in Serie in recent weeks. but they performed extraordinary in the Champions League. so their performance is really difficult to predict. and both teams are also experienced in the Champions League. So there will be a fierce fight.

Real Madrid is really interested in the champions league and that's all because they are disappointed about La Liga in this season because of the huge gap they have between themselves and Barcelona, that's why they hope to win the champions league title but winning the game against Manchester City won't be easy for any team.

The Milan derby will be presented in this semifinal, Inter Milan managed to advance after getting rid of Benfica, while AC Milan defeated Napoli. By reading the game, of course they really understand the strengths of each team, they must follow their development, because they are also in the same competition in Italy. It's a big game and it's a derby, usually it will heat up more in the Champions League, they will compete with prestige to show who is the best among them.



Even Manchester City was one of the favorites to win the title from the start, plus their excellent performances from season to season. So by looking at it like that, I would say Manchester City deserved to get the title and be champions for the first time. Saying that Manchester City deserves to be champions does not mean that Real Madrid's position is not worth it, even with the 14-time title that Real Madrid has won, it is enough to say about their quality. A very interesting competition is still going on in the Champions League, I can't wait for the semi-finals.

I feel like Real is a different type of club. I mean normally City is much better and with Haaland joining compared to last year, they are doing much better this season as well and should be winning this series easily. However, many people believed that they would win last year as well and instead they lost which is why I am not entirely sure if it would be really possible for them to win it this year neither. Last year Real lost the first game and everyone thought that the game was over and City won it.

But on the last 5 minutes, they ended up getting 2 goals and then won the series out of nowhere. This is why it is not easy to wager against Real, because they may look like they are losing but then suddenly they could end up winning the game for sure.

The quality of Modric and Kroos is really needed in big matches like this because experience and composure are quite important when players are under pressure, but the quality of the team as a whole can also help them achieve victory. Although all decisions have an impact on the club, if you pay attention to the final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, how Ramos was able to avoid a red card when trying to tackle Salah and in the end had to be withdrawn due to injury.

Ramos' role was very big at that time and without Salah Liverpool had to accept defeat so that Real Madrid came out as champions, even though that is not justified in football. This is what I mean they are good at playing psychological strategies and Pep Guardiola must avoid this if he wants to win against Real Madrid.

I also think that Manchester City has a lot of right to the title. They have been playing eye-catching football for years and always enjoy playing on the field. Every football fan loves to watch City, and they also have just nice players who aren't arrogant or annoying. It has been a few times against, but I have the feeling that with Haaland they have some extra fuel in the engine. He scores goals from all angles and positions. But no team has won the Champions League as many times in recent years as Real Madrid. Based on those statistics, Real Madrid is the favourite, but even at home, Real Madrid may simply be less good than City.

I can't find a coherent reason why you say Manchester City don't deserve to win the Champions League title they have wanted for so long? If you're just saying Real Madrid deserved it because they missed a title chance in La Liga, then that's nonsense that doesn't matter much to say. Look how favorite Napoli are to reach the final this season after they almost certainly secured the Serie A title, but Napoli had to accept their failure.

I just can't understand why someone could say something so easily without putting in some effort to come up with a good reason. It's always good to come up with plausible reasons when you want one to be appropriate and one not.

Real Madrid - Manchester City is a spectacle to look forward to. Regardless of the result, I hope that it will not be 3-0 for 1 of the 2 in the first game. Then there is little to do in the 2nd game. Because we have also seen that scenario in the match between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. The most exciting outcome would be if at least Madrid didn't lose. Don't know who will play first at home. City has Haaland and Madrid has Benzema. Is Haaland actually that much better than Benzema? Benzema has been of great value to Madrid and has much more experience than Haaland. But Haaland does make the difference between winning or losing the Cl for City. City haven't really had a killer in recent years, but team collectively is very strong.

ya.ya.yo!

Real Madrid team is very interested in the Champions League. The rival of this team to reach the final is one of the best teams is Manchester City. The match with this team is expected to be a really good one.

Last season Manchester City only got to the semifinals and they were eliminated by Real Madrid. This season is still the same, the two of them met again in the semifinals and in my opinion the depth of the Manchester City squad is indeed extraordinary this season, they have extraordinary players, especially Erling Haaland who is a goal-hungry striker who will certainly make it very difficult for Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid has a myriad of Champions League trophies and is also the king of Europe's highest competition, with Real Madrid's experience, I think it's a tough job for Manchester City to get rid of Real Madrid in the semifinals. Manchester city just need a miracle if they want to beat Real Madrid.

You're right, the 4 teams that have qualified for the semifinals this season are only Manchester City who have never won the Champions League Trophy. Thus this is a good enough season for Manchester City to end their bad streak in the Champions League by making the most of the semifinal matches as possible to qualify for the final. If Manchester city fails again in this match I think they will suffer the same fate as PSG who failed again in the champions league. but we don't want to see that and what is certain is that Manchester City must be able to break the dominance of the big teams in the Champions League so that it is not boring.

Pep Guardiola is very experienced in the Champions League when he was with Barcelona I hope he has the super power to lead Manchester City to win this season.

Yes, even though there are still two Serie A teams in the semifinals, but that doesn't mean that one of them, or Milan or Inter, has a chance to win the Champions League title. Because the opponent that the Serie A team will face in the Champions League final will be Manchester City or Real Madrid, and I think it is clear that the quality of Manchester City or Real Madrid is of course better than the Serie A teams.

Therefore, even if Milan or Inter will play in the Champions League final, in fact I really believe that Serie A teams still don't have good and promising abilities to win in the Champions League final. Also, Milan and Inter got opponents who at least had not much different quality in the previous match or in the quarter-finals so that they could reach the semifinals this time.

Such a short period can hardly be called an era, but the beginning is terrible. Abramovich was probably in completely different conditions and was able to lift Chelsea from the depths to the top very quickly. Now the competition in the Premier League is extremely high and even if you make only the right decisions, it is not certain that it will give results. The more interesting next season will be - in the end I think many will agree that watching the suffering of Chelsea and Liverpool was no less interesting than the game of Arsenal, City and other (haha there are none) stable teams. Hmm... although Newcastle is very stable.
By the way, about the FFP - as I understand it, the latest changes in it have made big indulgences for the top clubs and now it is not as difficult to bypass it as before.

Man City has qualified several times and in fact will fail when it reaches the final round. It doesn't matter how solid the players are, but in terms of UCL mentality, Real Madrid is by far the best and knows what to do when facing their opponents in the semifinals. In fact, not a few people last season thought Man City would become champions, this time only because there was Haaland as the spearhead who was quite dangerous, but again, Ancelotti certainly had anticipated this.

3 aspects that Madrid has but is not owned by Man City so far such as player quality, mentality, and luck. Man City may have a mentality that grows from season to season, they also have no doubt about the quality of great players but talking about luck, Madrid are always at the forefront.

If Manchester city makes it to the finals, which I strongly believe they can achieve it since Real Madrid aren't that impressive this season, they are just been finding ways to win game and that has been their style of play but they aren't dominating their games and winning it as Manchester city are doing. When Manchester city wins Real Madrid to the finals, it won't be their very first finals but would be the one they finally win the title. Manchester city was in the finals against Chelsea in 2021 that Thomas Tuchel won Pep Guardiola side with a 1:0 scoreline that Kai Havertz got the only goal in the match.

Manchester city has never won the champion league and that's not because they have been performing poorly but they always had one team that was better than them, that'll knock them out of the competition but this year I don't think there's any team worthy of defeating Manchester city and not even Real Madrid can do that. In the match between Real Madrid and Manchester city, Pep Guardiola boys are the underdogs since Real Madrid are kings of the competition so as an underdog with the level of squad that city has, I think they can successful defeat Real Madrid, I just hope that Pep Guardiola tactics doesn't spoil the game for him as he knows how to overthink.

As far as I know, Manchester City never won the champions league and they couldn't even be in the champions league final match which can show us how this game can be important for them against Real Marid because if they manage to win the game, they can be in the champions league final match for the first time.

I already said this a few days ago or so, but the reason why we are having two Italian teams in the semi-final of the Champions League this year basically out of nowhere is not really that the Serie A suddenly has become so extremely strong. The main reason for that is that somehow the 4 weakest teams of all the quarterfinal participants have been drawn to play against each other and the 4 strongest teams also had to play against each other.
I think it is a fair statement to say that Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and probably also FC Chelsea would not have had many problems to advance into the semi-finals against. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Benfica or Napoli.

But don't forget that the opponent will not be a club that can be easily beaten in the final. Certainly so far, even though the Serie A representative team has been able to reach the Final, it feels like this moment is still not fully capable of overthrowing the representatives of England or Spain. An imbalance occurred in this semifinal where Milan and Inter should have been separated, that is, it would be more suitable to cross between Madrid and Inter or Manchester City against Milan. So that it can prove that the Serie A representative is capable of lifting the trophy again.

Napoli has not been playing at a high level for some time, like at the beginning of the season.
It was also seen well in the Italian championship when they lost at home even 4:0 against Milan a few weeks ago.
If this match between Milan and Napoli was played earlier, Napoli would have more chances to win, but right now they are not playing well.
Milan managed to stop Napoli's attack and they were very good and efficient in attack.
After almost 20 years, Milan is again in the semi-finals of the Champions League and they are expecting a very uncertain and open match against Inter.
After a very long time, the Italian league will again have a representative in the final of the Champions League, and in the quarter-final, they had the most representatives, as many as 3 clubs. It seems that the quality of Italian club football is rising.
