The last time Milan won the Champions League title was in the 2006-07 season. I still can't forget about that legendary Milan lineup as well. They were one of the best and strongest teams in the Champions League back in the day. After those times passed they couldn't get too close to the title here. But in the recent years things started to go their way in the Serie A first.

And now we are seeing Milan to have made it to the Champions League semi finals. They have a pretty good chance to qualify for the finale by eliminating Inter as well. Napoli were a more challenging opponent in my opinion. They still need to be very careful against Inter though. Because Inter are not in good shape in the Serie A lately maybe but they are doing very good in the Champions League.
For whatever reason, I chose Milan as the favorite to reach the Champions League final this season. Milan have proved they are a strong side since the group stage, even when I doubted them in the last 16 against Tottenham and Napoli in the quarter-finals. Milan has silenced many critics to secure a semi-final ticket, but the task now is to win the derby semi-final against Inter.

But really, I also don't underestimate Inter who made it through to the semi-finals after beating Porto and Benfica in the round of 16 and quarter-finals even though they were two easy match for them. Milan actually managed to qualify after defeating two tough opponents, so Milan is the best compared to Inter to reach the final this season.

Only Real Madrid seems to be a serious challenger for Manchester City. Most of us have all seen what happened in that game last season and especially how Real Madrid managed to go through. Things like that can happen in Madrid. I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens again tomorrow. The Bookie think City is so good that they even consider City their favorite at Real Madrid in Spain. That says a lot. That Haaland missed a penalty, of course, means nothing. All in all, Bayern Munich really managed to score 4 goals, but they are missing a real killer that they had in Lwandowsky for a few years.

Milan and Inter odds are the same in this match regardless of the support of bookies to this. Maybe Milan is slightly in a better shape than Inter in Serie A at least but here is Champions League where everything could happen. Literally everything could happen in both games, City - Real Madrid isn't that easy game too. We might expect many goals in May

It can be said that it was a good season for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City to win their first Champions League title for the Premier League team. Manchester City's fine form will bolster their title hopes, but they will have to really weather a tough challenge from Real Madrid. Of course Real Madrid has the same ambition to secure the title, but I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester City could beat Madrid even though Real Madrid is the most dominating team in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola must be sure and confident enough that it is time for Manchester City to bring the Champions League title home to the cupboard, but before that they must escape this tough challenge. I'm an optimist, of course I can see some other people being the same.
Match moments like this usually play a role psychologically, we used to know that at Real Madrid there are many players who are able to influence the mentality of opponents, so matches are full of emotions. One of them is Romos, Pepe and Marcelo, but now they no longer have these typical players, so purely the quality of the players and the coach's strategy play a big role in winning the match. We have to admit that the quality of Man City's players is much better than Ancelotti's squad, almost on average Pep Guardiola's teams have advantages in their respective positions.

But talking mentally and experience in the Champions League is a problem for them, because when under pressure in a crucial match it is difficult for them to survive and in my opinion Pep Guardiola must be able to convince his players in this matter. Several previous defeats against Real Madrid clearly disturbed their psychology because Real Madrid has the quality for this problem and I don't want to talk about technicalities and strategies because their players are actually good.

I don't see much that AC Milan can offer. Yeah, they did beat an inform Napoli to the semi finals and that's because, they've got there cheat code from the league competitions but, its surely going to be a different situation should they have to face Real Madrid which is the most likely or Manchester City. Same goes to Inter Milan which I believe are not just fit enough to defeat AC Milan not to talk of having them to face either of them giants in the finals.
Milan has a better chance of qualifying for the final than Inter, so I would put Milan as one of the favorites for the final instead of Inter. I also want to see City and Milan in the final, but that really depends on how Pep Guardiola handles Real Madrid in the semi-final.

AC Milan's performance against Napoli was really good. They were able to beat a strong team like Napoli. While AC Milan's performance in Serie A has been poor, the team has been doing very well in the Champions League. AC Milan is my favorite against Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan will be ahead in the results of the matches between these two teams. Inter Milan has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head matches. And AC Milan won just one match.

It will truly be a semi-final match that feels like a Champions League final. Man City and Real Madrid are the two favorite clubs to win the UCL this season. it's not easy for both of them to win because each of them has their own strengths that the club can use to win. But for sure, the match this time will be even more interesting
Manchester City vs Real Madrid semi final is the final match of the UCL. Any of the teams who proceeds from this stage has got the trophy already. The other group would be just contenders that only assists you in getting the trophy. I don't see much that AC Milan can offer.

This match is the one which a lot of people have been waiting for. I believe this match is going to be very competitive as well. Of course, when it comes to the champions league, we have to keep Real Madrid ahead compared to any other team. They are the king of the champions league tournaments.

Manchester City will have to get a good lead in the first leg. Otherwise, it is going to be hard for them to win against Real Madrid. And by a good lead, I mean at least three goals lead. Because we all know that Real Madrid can come back from almost any situation. We all remember what happened in the last champions league tournament.

Yes, one of these two teams is the favorite for the Champions League title this season, but who knows.
I really believe that if Real Madrid get to the final they will win because that is their history in the Champions League. Almost every time Real Madrid reach the final they will win it. But if it is Manchester City, chances are we will still see a great final this season against one of its Italian opponents.

Real Madrid will win this year again, they have the squad, Manchestercity don't have much champions league experience. it will be  tough game but Real madrid will qualify at the end. whosever qualify will lift the tiitle. Ac milan and Inter milan has shown that italian football is improving rapidly.
I also think Real Madrid will win this season. But I don't agree that Manchester City have a worse squad. They have great results this year, but as you said, Real have more experience in the Champions League. It will still be very difficult for them to beat Manchester City, especially away.

It's too soon to say if Real Madrid is going to win the champions league in this season or not, They had a good performance in the champions league and got good results so far butter are many other teams like Manchester City with good performances and I think the next game in champions league between Manchester City and Real Madrid will be the most important game for both teams to win the title in this season.

The road to the 2023 UEFA Champions League final is over for Bayern Munchen. Whereas "the panzer" were my favourite. Real Madrid are of course the scariest team in the Champions League, but Real Madrid is not as strong as last year. Also Manchester City is quite good compared to last year. And there is Haaland in their squad who is their new weapon this season. So I think Pep, his dream of winning the Champions League is getting closer to possible.


I said it before, this is very different this year. There is a difference between this season and the last season.  Last season Real Madrid was lucky and strong. This season, Pep Guardiola has a bigger chance to present the UCL trophy even though their opponent is Real Madrid. This time Real Madrid, in my opinion, will recognize the strength of Pep Guardiola's even though their history is superior.

The second semi-final is also interesting because there will be a Milan derby. It has been a long time since we have seen the San Siro Milan champions league derby. This derby excites me. I would like Milan to play the final match in Istanbul again.

This semi-final match is a tough challenge for Man City. City toppled Munich, but Madrid is a stronger opponent. however if you want the Champions League title, then City must beat Madrid with all their might.

According to Real Madrid records from european competitions champion league and europa league so far they had reach to semifinal matches 32 times and this is the highest records if we compared to other teams in europa so this proven Real Madrid has ruler europe and probably their records cannot be pursuing by other teams and from it we can see Real Madrid is the strongest team in this competition especially Real Madrid has collect 15 champion league title

I wouldn't underestimate Manchester City and Real Madrid because these team had equal chances to advance to the final match and so far Real Madrid is the toughest team that Manchester City will faced and if Manchester City can able to overcomes Real Madrid i think certainly they will being an the champion of this competition because final match will be more easy for them because only faced Inter or Milan which is in the term of consistency Manchester City is more better
In terms of quality and consistency, it cannot be denied that Manchester City is much better than Real Madrid this season, but mentally on the Champions League stage, Real Madrid is the most difficult team to beat because they are the kings of Europe who have won the most UCL trophies.
this is very difficult to predict and of course the semifinal match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City is very fierce compared to the Inter Milan vs AC Milan semi-final pot.

I am a Real Madrid fan but this season I will bet on Manchester City to qualify for the final, I see this realistically that Manchester City's performance this season has been amazing, they are very solid on all fronts and I think after a long wait Manchester City deserve to be able to win the UCL this season.
There is no doubt that Real Madrid is the King of Europe. This season, Madrid have again been able to advance to the semifinals, the opponents they will face are of course not easy. Manchester City, one of the richest teams in the world, is very ambitious to win the Champions League trophy for the first time. If you look at his track record this season, City deserves to get it. Real Madrid, of course, also has its own ambitions, but it seems that having experience alone is not enough for the Madrid squad this season, some of its flagship players are quite old and it seems that it will be very difficult to keep up with the speed of Man City's game. I'm betting City will qualify for the final and win the title.

Possibly the match for Real Madrid vs Manchester City can indeed be very interesting for certain reasons and one of them is because both of them are still very good teams in the Champions League this season. But if you look at the performances and performances that have been shown by the two teams this season, I think there are also many people who will favor Manchester City in the semifinals this time even though Manchester City have never tasted victory in the Champions League.
This semi-final match is a tough challenge for Man City. City toppled Munich, but Madrid is a stronger opponent. however if you want the Champions League title, then City must beat Madrid with all their might.
both are the best European teams right now. when the game gets closer, we will see a team that is more prepared. and we can see bigger opportunities. sometimes there are several players in the squad who cannot play. it was a loss for the team. but hopefully both teams will play with their best squad. it will be more interesting.
Any team that is aiming for the top needs to prepare itself to face and beat the strongest opponents, both Manchester City and Real Madrid are very strong teams, which is why they were able to reach the semifinals of the tournament and now they need to decide which one of them will move to the final, and while Real Madrid has tradition on its side, when both of those teams have faced each other on the past Manchester City has gotten the best results.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are the best teams. In fact, we expect to see the semi-finals of these two teams in an exciting manner with great joy. I can't predict for sure which team will win because I consider both the teams to have the best experience.
Both teams have the players and quality to support their plans this season to win the Champions League, but I can assume that the mentality of the teams and players in the Champions League always plays a role in the team's wins and chances.

Speaking of opportunities, I think both teams have an equal chance, but when you look at the mentality, then I think Real Madrid is first. But regardless, I think it's time for Manchester City to prove that they deserve to win the title this season even though the opponents are very tough. Manchester City have been the favorites for many seasons, but they have yet to win this title. So I think the expectations about Manchester City's title this season are greater than Real Madrid's desire to defend their title.

I don't want to sound disrespectful, but there is a huge amount of luck involved, that both clubs of Milan are now in the semi-final of the Champions League. I mean this basically only happened, because the 4 teams that were definitely the weakest ones of the teams that were in the quarterfinal were all playing against each other. I think that every team of the other bracket including FC Chelsea would be the big favourite against any team from the other Bracket that consisted of the Milan clubs, Benfica and Napoli.
So to get this kind of draw only happens once in 20 years or so. Therefore the Italian clubs should enjoy this because it probably won't happen so soon again.
In as much as other smaller but strong clubs are getting qualified for the semi-finals of the champions league, there is no gain in saying that some of them will make it to the finals since the champion leagues just got to it knock out stage and the two clubs with the potential to reach the finals will be Manchester City and Real Madrid even though both if they have been underperforming lately.
But if clubs like Barcelona could come up then we can also predict a few possibilities from their angle, because Baca has also shown a lot of positive results lately to qualify them for the top 3 in the Champions League.

Lol, @Odusko.How can you say Manchester City and Real Madrid have the potential to reach the final, because one of them will be eliminated in this semifinal because Manchester City will play against Real Madrid in the semifinals. So, only one of them will reach the final and they opponent in the final will be a Serie A team, be it Milan or Inter. lol!

Also, I don't understand your point of view about Barcelona because in reality, Barcelona have been a very good team this season in La Liga, so it's normal for Barcelona to be at the top of the table in La Liga. Because this season Barcelona has even failed in the Champions League and also in the European League and what's worse, Barcelona has failed the same as last season. So, even if for example, Barcelona is still in the Champions League at this moment but still, you can't say Barcelona has a chance to reach the final because Barcelona is only focused on La Liga.

It doesn't feel like there is any defense line that can stop Haaland at the moment. Bayern Munich had really young and skilled defenders like de Ligt and Upamecano for example.

But things went sideways a lot for them anyway. Especially Upamecano was a big disappointment for his team in both legs with bad defending. He isn't very experienced in this atmosphere maybe but he still could have played as good as de Ligt at least. There was an Alaba - Militao duo for Real Madrid in both matches against Chelsea. Maybe they finished the matchup by keeping a clean sheet. However Chelsea and Manchester City are totally different teams right now. I think this duo will have a really hard time defending Haaland. I expect Haaland to score in both matches against them and Manchester City to advance to the finale too.
As the most experienced team in the Champions League, it is certain that Real Madrid is expected to play well in both semi-final legs against Manchester City. I believe Real Madrid is a good team because they have a lot of experience and also the quality of their players, but I'm not entirely sure that Manchester City can be stopped easily.

The pre-match semi-final discussion is of course very interesting because the two teams both have their own strengths and weaknesses. I personally also tend to hope that Manchester City can beat Real Madrid, but obviously this is not an easy hope.
