Real Madrid - Manchester City is going to be a really competitive matchup in my opinion. I see Manchester City one step ahead in this one this time. They are far better than the previous season now. This is Haaland effect of course. He will be their biggest power against Real Madrid as well. I don't know how much successful Real Madrid would be about defending him.

Real Madrid's job can be very difficult especially in Etihad after seeing how Manchester City performed against Bayern Munich there. Of course Real Madrid are better than Bayern Munich this season but Manchester City would still have control of the game home in my opinion.

Look at last season too isn't it like that? I think the current conditions are still the same because Manchester City certainly have a lot of favorites in this regard.
But on the other hand, of course, this doesn't only reflect on current performance because of luck and how strategy is also important, especially now it's quite clear that Madrid's condition is also still focusing on this semi-final.

I agree with you. I'm annoyed by watching Real Madrid dominate the Champions League. I want a new team to be champions. I would be happiest if AC Milan or Manchester City were champions. Manchester City management is trying hard to win the Champions League title. They spent a lot of money. Star players have been recruited. Guardiola has appointed experienced coaches. Even then the team is not able to win the Champions League. I will be happy if Manchester City wins the Champions League title this season.

As it is now, Manchester City are the favorite to win the Champions League, they have been after this title for a very long time, they are unstoppable at the moment, Real Madrid has been lucky when it comes to the champions league, even when they are not performing too well, they still have that luck of winning the champions league. But this time is a different ball game, because Manchester City will definitely stop them this time around, Manchester city are the best team in the whole of euro this season and with their performance game after games just prove it all.

For the last 3/4 seasons, the Manchester City team has been the favorite for the Champions League title. They had a strong squad and the team was able to consistently perform well. Even then, the Manchester City team has not been able to win the title even once. But this season the team is playing very well. Manchester City team has shown dominance in both matches against Bayern Munich. Expectations will be a bit higher from Manchester City this season. But Real Madrid is also a very experienced team. And they are now fully focused on winning the Champions League title. So it will be very difficult for both teams to win the match.

It is not just to dominate domestic league that makes U favourite in the European competitions. There are other teams that always do better than them, I wouldnt call them favourite in Europe . Manchester city has always been disappointing in the European competitions.Manchester city squad is always fit for the Champion league title but are always unlucky. their performance is more convincing this last two seasons, though we still have Real Madrid, I think Guardiola will be lucky this time.

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.

After seeing how Benfica and Napoli could be eliminated from the Champions League. So I think anything can still happen in the semi-final. Even Man City's victory against Bayern is also quite surprising. so it could be that the Man city vs Real Madrid match will be a quite surprising match. But I agree about Real Madrid being much more experienced and also stronger mentally. But Man City this season has been absolutely amazing. they are consistent in almost all competitions not only in the Champions League. So this season could be different from last season. last season man city was eliminated in the semi-finals. But maybe this season will be different.

Now we will relive last season's Champions League Quarter Final Deja Vu in the Semi finals.
Currently Manchester City is in a new condition because there is Haaland in their squad who is their new weapon this season.

Both still have chances because of their strengths. Both Man City and Real Madrid have great squads, they are very strong so farm. But as you said, Man City is now having much bigger doffefence because of Haalland and also their midfielders are very strongm This will make Real Madrid struggle very much in this match. Whatever this seems like and early final coming haha

The problem remains the same, depending on how mentally prepared they are at the moment.
As long as Manchester City are still not good from a mental standpoint against Madrid, no matter how good their squad is, they will still not be fine because they have lost mentally.
On the other hand, don't forget Madrid, which has always been one of the clubs that always has its own impression for the matches they live, which of course this will be troublesome, especially with the last 10 minutes which have always been their secret weapon.

On the other hand for the next bracket we will also see an interesting derby there because Milan and Inter are definitely fun to watch.

If you look at the mental maturity of the players from these two teams, between Manchester City and Real Madrid, in my opinion, Manchester City is superior to Real Madrid, and if you pay attention to the respective leagues between these two teams, Manchester City is showing better performance. and consistent in his wins while Real Madrid is not like that even though sometimes they are lions in their matches but he doesn't get it consistently.
But I myself can't decide which one is better because these two teams are giants in their respective leagues and are both temporarily ranked second in their league today.

Regarding Ac Milan and Inter Milan, I think they are playing like in their own league, namely Serie A, but it looks like they are in the Champions League semi-finals and it is indeed very interesting to watch, I think just watching will be boring, why not bet on these two matches, bro? .

When it comes to a big game, Manchester city cannot play till the end with all seriousness and focus. They can play very with a team that gives them the chance to use their football strategy,but if you frustrate their strategy,Manchester city will get confused and destabilized in that match. This is why I doubt if they will be able to win Spanish best club Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is the favourite in this league and they know how win their matches when it has come to this stage. The semifinals stage is not an easy one and I believe that Real Madrid will play with their last strength toake sure they win the match. This league has been their focus since the beginning of this season. Their performance in their domestic league should not be used to judge their performance in this league.

I think that these two teams will be favored when they play at their respective home turf. This semi-final match made me deja vu a little. namely Man City also faced Real Madrid in the semi-finals last season. but you are right that this season Man City is a little different. Last season, Man City's goal productivity was not as good as this season. for this season with Haaland, we can see Man City really being a team that has an attack that always endangers the opponent's back line. But Real Madrid must also have prepared for this. and with the amount of experience that Real Madrid has, this match will certainly be very fierce.

Manchester City played against this same Real Madrid in the semi finals of last seasons UEFA Champions League competition and were humbled and shocked by Real Madrid's late come back and that is why I think Manchester City will see this season's semi-final tie against Madrid as the best time to take revenge.

Real madrid is a team that is very hard to predict. Real madrid sometime can give us a big surprise. The last match against manchester city has proven how good real madrid is. Manchester city will be facing same players again when in semi final. Vini, rodrygo and benzema have become the biggest threats to manchester city. That reminds me of when rodrygo was able to make two goals during the second leg. That's epic match between manchester city vs real madrid.

It's likely another epic match is coming soon again. Benzme is fully prepared against real madrid this time. Real madrid is also having some new names like camavinga who is ready to protect the defensive line of real madrid.
I think that this match becomes the most awaited match by anyone. I saw how bernardo silva was underestimating real madrid at this moment.

Manchester city strongly believe if the club will able to beat real madrid easily.

Man City was actually mentally prepared to fight Real Madrid but it's just that Man City lost experience with Madrid which made the City club's performance look like there was no mentality to compete against Madrid.
in the upcoming match Madrid will meet City and this should be able to prove whether City is really ready to fight Madrid and my prediction will end in a draw

Real madrid will be learned a lot from the last match against manchester city. The only player that will be the biggest threat to real madrid is haaland. As you can see that haaland was making so many goals against bayern. Real madrid can learn about how to stop him.
Real madrid is known as the king of comeback. This club was making comeback so many times again various big clubs in the UCL. It's a hard game for manchester city at this moment. I think that if ancellotti will be fully prepared a strategy to beat manchester city.

No doubt with Haaland performance in this season after success scoring 12 goals in Champion League for Manchester City, indeed his sucess achievement become Champion League top scorer awhile I think Madrid have priority how to pressure Kevin De Bruyne, he has been key player for Manchester City with smart assist and help Haaland easy for scoring every goals in this season. I think has Militao will give huge pressure for Haaland and on holding midfielder Real Madrid still has Toni Kroos and Valverde will pressure for De Bruyne.

Last season on the same semifinal stage, Real Madrid success eliminated Manchester City and I hope have the same thing can did by Madrid without any change of player composition for defeating Manchester City again.

Real Madrid is a complete squad, nothing is missing. Their midfield, although it consists of grandpa Modric and soon to be grandpa Kroos, is still the strongest in the soccer world. They understand so well when to slow down and when to speed up the game. They are technically flawless, their defensive work is crazy good, and their decision making between short passing and long ball behind the opponent's defense is 95% accurate.

This is definitely the preliminary final and I would have preferred to see them play in the final. The advantage now is that we get to see them play against each other twice! Wink

This should be the final match between Madrid and Man City, but because this season they have to fight in the semifinals, Man City or Madrid will qualify for the opponent Inter/Milan will face, so far compared to Madrid or Man City, of course the results are clear in front. eye. therefore the process of drawing the top 8 tends to be unbalanced. Apart from that all this season Man City has Haaland who is hungry for goals. In the match against Bayern Leg 2, it was as if he felt that he had not had enough on an aggregate and Haaland game was very aggressive to overthrow Bayern. Now, especially in the match against King of UCL, of course Haaland will make this match an opportunity that will not be wasted.

however, the division is carried out with a plot that is said to have brought together strong teams at the start. even in the top 16. But anyway, those who have entered the semi-finals are a team that has fought hard. and they deserve to be in this fight.
City against Madrid is a game that is difficult to predict. Madrid will be very strong in the Champions League. but City is an outstanding club this season. while the meeting of two representatives of Italy, of them, is also difficult to predict. both are equally strong and unpredictable teams this season. if City qualifies for the final round, they will most likely become champions. but if Madrid qualifies, likely, they will still be the masters of the Champions League.

With a plot? It is a lottery, a draw. I wouldn't distinguish between strong and weak teams when you differentiate between group stage 1st rank and group stage 2nd rank. It is not unusual that some top teams already clash with each other due to that.

At least Real Madrid and Manchester City were ranked 1st after the group stage in their respective groups. But Inter and AC Milan were both ranked 2nd with very average performances. Now there you go and they made it to the final. This is what makes soccer interesting of course. Although I always prefer when teams from the same country don't play against each other for as long as possible. But now I think we can be satisfied with a Milan derby and a massive game between City and Real.

To be honest I expected Napoli to be one of the teams that qualified but unfortunately they failed it's not about luck but indeed Milan deserved it more
But unfortunately Milan and Inter will face each other so one of them is certain not to reach the final, its very sad. Usually when it reaches final a team from the Italian league is unstoppable we still remember when Inter destroyed strong teams a few years ago.

I also expected the same, I guessed Napoli to qualify but sadly AC Milan kicked them out. Actually, Napoli deserved more but they have a problem of injured players. Some key players got injured, so they failed to maintain good perfromance. AC Milan takes advantage of the problem, so they can win against Napoli.

Yes. In the semi-final, once again we see all Italian teams to face. However, it guarantees 1 Italian team in the final round. We don't know whether Italian team will be superior or not in the final round. The current condition of Italian teams aren't like the few years ago. I think the top teams in EPL and La Liga are stronger than Italian teams nowadays.

Surely you are not the only ones who think that Napoli will be able to advance to the semifinals, but I also think the same thing but Napoli's situation is unfavorable with injuries received by important players this season and I think maybe Napoli's ration is only to be able to win the Scudetto this season just. In the semifinals we will still see teams from the Italian representatives who will compete. This makes the competition between Milan and Inter heats up to be able to get rid of each other and get a ticket to the Champions League final.

But indeed I agree with you, that teams from Italy are still losing in percentage to winning the Champions League title this season because the great strength is still held by teams from England and also teams from Spain in the past few seasons.

AC Milan vs. Napoli is another fascinating matchup. At their base, Napoli, which has been very consistent in the Serie A and Champions League, lost by a wide margin of 0-4 to AC Milan. Napoli holds a commanding lead in the Serie A standings, the defeat before their first-leg match will have some psychological effects on both teams. AC Milan at San Siro will be more certain and less constrained. Napoli needs to refuel its lineup and does not feel invincible. Before the first leg with AC Milan, they can regain their confidence in the match with Lecce.

Undoubtedly, every Milan match will always be interesting, even more so if Ibra is brought in to play, this is a game that will always be one of the best duels, because Napoli for now has a great result in all of Serie A, the truth is I don't know if they will continue to Maintain that level of fútbol that they show, Napoli is one of the most relevant teams in the world right now, everyone thinks when they are going to play against this team,However, every team, no matter how good it is sometimes You can fall and you can defeat them, but the important thing is that you continue to maintain your status.

Talking about this even last season we didn't think it was like that but in the end they had to lose because their confidence was high.
The opponent they will now face in the semi-finals is Real Madrid, we know that the mentality of the Madrid champions is very strong with a good enough fighting power especially for the final minutes which have always been the key to their game.

Even though at this time Haaland has appeared extraordinary in the attack on Manchester City, if they are the same as last season with too much confidence then this is indeed still a bit of a problem, because of course Madrid is not an opponent that can be underestimated.

I think that the one that should not be underestimated here is Real Madrid, because it is a very complete team, plus we all know that Haaland is the star here at City, obviously he is Pep's secret weapon, but Ancelotti is a very skilled technical director , intelligent and a Madridista at heart, he will know what defenses to put on him that he will not have freedom of anything, of that they can be sure, now, the problem here will be for City how to stop Benzema and Vinicius? on the other hand to Modric, this is something that has to be seen from the most valuable point of view.

I would not be surprised if real madrid will try to use its best squads. Real madrid is not only good at attacking but its midfielder and defenders are also on another level.

Manchester city has ever been beaten by chelsea. Real madrid will able to do the same like chelsea by kicking city's back again to the EPL.

I think Pep Guardiola has built Manchester City to an extent that any club that wants to play against them will try to defend and prepare very well to avoid receiving many goals from them whether home or away match.

Of course, City have always been a team that scores quite a lot of goals, even before Haaland came. Last season in the CL SF against Real Madrid, City scored 5 times, but it wasn't enough as they lost to Real Madrid's 6, thus coming up against City it's almost certain they are going to get goals, it is now a matter of if you can outscore them.

Having said that, if there's one team that can outscore City in the entire Europe then it would be Real Madrid, i am really looking forward to an entertaining SF tie between the two team, with a lot of goals as well, but i just feel this time around City would be able to get the job done, they need a little bit of luck to get over the line, and i think they'll get it.

Manchester City is unstoppable in the champions league title this season. Their performance this season is not to be compared with that of last season. The signing of Haaland into Manchester City makes Manchester City more fierce and deadly when playing against them. The funniest thing about Manchester City is that you can't say that you have marked off Haaland without other his teammates being able to score goals.

I think Pep Guardiola has built Manchester City to an extent that any club that wants to play against them will try to defend and prepare very well to avoid receiving many goals from them whether home or away match.

Manchester city has shown its ambition to win the Champions League this season, they showed this when they beat Bayern Munich at the Etihad stadium, but anything can happen to them and that is what Manchester City has to anticipate against Real Madrid.

All the teams that have qualified for the semifinals have the same hope, namely to win the champions league this season. Even besides that, there is AC Milan who managed to repeat their history to qualify for the semifinals again.

indeed from the depths of the Manchester City squad might be at the forefront as the strongest team remaining in the Champions League to date. Real madrid also own the same values they have a great coach and a team as full of experience in the champions league as benzema.

Manchester City played against this same Real Madrid in the semi finals of last seasons UEFA Champions League competition and were humbled and shocked by Real Madrid's late come back and that is why I think Manchester City will see this season's semi-final tie against Madrid as the best time to take revenge.
