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.

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.

When Guordiola was asked, perhaps humorously, why he has won titles for Manchester City but not the Champions League, he said that it is because Real Madrid is always in the competition. There is now a draw against them in the semifinals; hopefully, if they can get past Madrid and into the finals, they will win the cup because they play better than the other two clubs facing each other in the champions league semifinals. The Haaland influence has helped them get this far; perhaps he can still lead them to their first Champions League title this season.

Regarding the semifinal match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City, of course we all cannot draw clear conclusions as to who will qualify for the final. This is a very sensational semifinal because Manchester City, who are struggling to win their first Champions League trophy, are challenged by a team that incidentally is the king of the Champions League, Real Madrid. So for sure this has to be the best semifinal as expected.

I personally support Manchester City's quest for a first title, but I really don't believe Pep Guardiola can convince his team to perform carefree. Real Madrid are a very experienced team compared to passionate Manchester City, so of course the mentality of the two teams is very different. Pep also really wants to make history for Manchester City at Champions League, so he really needs to be able to make his team play well in the two semi-final legs this season.

I estimate that if one of them wins this match they will more easily win the UCL trophy this season. therefore I think it is difficult to say that real madrid will be able to win this match, as well as manchester city because these two teams are equally strong this season. regardless of all this one of them will be eliminated in the semifinals and I hope that Manchester City can pull off a big surprise in the semifinals and they can achieve the dream they have planned year after year to become UCL champions.

Real madrid this season they have been able to make the most of every away game as best they can by winning like they did at Anfield and also like they did at Stamford Bridge, Real madrid have been really strong this season.

But taking any thing away from Napoli's team I think AC Milan deserves to progress to the semi-finals because of how tactically disciplined they were during the quarter final meetings against Napoli. They made good use of the the players that has champions league football experience and it worked for them as a team

I have seen the review of that game and i must say that AC Milan was for sure better a bit of the playing.
The next match will be the most interesting one when they playing against Inter Milan , so i guess on this day Milan will be getting state of emergency then.

manchester city is favourite for the title, but they have to beat the best team Real Madrid first .

Manchester city was clearly better in all 2 games and they deserved to get into the next round.
And i am saying that even i am for Bayern Munich when they play international.

Milan has great history in this competition and their willingness to repeat this history was clear in the two matches they played. Although Napoli leads the Serie A standings table because of the amazing performance they show, they seemed to miss the ability to deal with a knock-out stage in a European competition, which proves that the pressure of matches affects all European teams in one way or another. Even Real Madrid wasn't able to keep up with La Liga and the Champions League together.
For the match between Milan and Inter, I see it as a good thing as it's guaranteed now that we will see an Italian team in the final. Italy is a great nation when it comes to football, and they deserve to have a place. Knowing that Juventus is the last team who qualified for a final in the 2016-2017 seasons when they lost against Real Madrid. This season, watching an Italian team playing against Real Madrid or Man City should be exciting.

Indeed, Ac Milan appeared extraordinary after they were able to beat Napoli in the quarter-finals. Ac milan was able to evoke sweet memories in the champions league this season. Now, if you look at the semi-finals between AC Milan and Inter Milan, it reminds us how difficult the journey for the Serie A representatives is because they have to beat teams from the same league to reach the next round.

in the upcoming match Ac milan will face inter milan which makes this semifinal give birth to the Derby Della Madonnina which will burn the atmosphere of the fans in supporting their favorite team to reach the final this year. I hope Ac milan is able to advance to the finals and make history that was not previously predicted.

i do not think it was out of bad luck, Napoli lacks tactics to defeat Ac Milan this season. they have beaten Napoli in their straight three games this season, Ac milan outclassed Napoli in the second leg of the champions league.

Napoli's biggest threat of the season has been their inform striker Victor Osimhen and after he was injured during the international break, it became very difficult for Napoli to win matches and he did not play in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan.
But taking any thing away from Napoli's team I think AC Milan deserves to progress to the semi-finals because of how tactically disciplined they were during the quarter final meetings against Napoli.

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

Chelsea were left without Euro cups next season so they can only do well in domestic competitions. Maybe they will compete for Cups inside of England but I doubt they will have a chance to compete for a title or even for the top 4. The Premier League's problem is too much competition - next season Liverpool will try to regain their positions, Newcastle will definitely strengthen, and Arsenal and City are also unlikely to become weaker. Plus there is Tottenham but I don't know if they will be capable of anything. In such a competitive environment, the prospects for even good teams are unclear, and Chelsea are not a good team yet.

The next season is going to be the season for chelsea to reconstruct its team again. There are many things happened this year started from the acquisition of chelsea and so many mistakes that are already made by todd. Todd has no experience in football but he was making a huge changes in the management without even consider the impact to the club. As long as chelsea will have proper squads and im thinking that's better rather than have same performance like this season. EPL is very competitive at this moment. Chelsea needs to restructuring its clubs again, sell some players to avoid FFP and give vast changes to the squads and many more. There have been so many useless players owned by chelsea. Chelsea bought too many players without even thinking about how to only buy a proper player that is needed by the club.

This season is a very bad season for chelsea. It will be market as the worst result has ever achieved by chelsea in the two decades. The todd's era has become the worst era.
Abramovich may be deeply saddened to observe his beloved team has been ruined by the mismanagement of personnel who lacked knowledge about football.

I agree, a match like this is worthy of a final and I hope the final itself won't be boring after such a crazy derby. On the other hand I am happy to know that one of the Italian teams will be in the Champions League final, no matter who it is, but that is rare, the last time I remember Juventus made it to the final, now it's either Inter's or Milan's turn

I didn't underestimate Real Madrid, and I didn't underestimate Inter either. But if I had to choose, then I would choose Manchester City and Milan are in the final this season. I think it's too boring to see Real Madrid reach the final almost every season and win the title, and they shouldn't dominate a competition like the Champions League in so many different seasons. I think this season Real Madrid will miss the final because of Manchester City, but this match will be fantastic.

Haaland is likely to be the difference in this season's semi-final against Real Madrid, but I think it's too much time for things to change before the first leg is played in May.

It looks like it is time for another legendary matchup between Real Madrid and Manchester City indeed. I'm very excited about this one already now.

Manchester City are stronger than ever in this season and it is without doubt for me. Can one player leave this great effect on a team? Yes he really can especially if he is Erling Haaland. Grin

I don't think Benzema can compete with him in a race for scoring the most in this matchup. I'm aware that Benzema is much more experienced. But I don't see him performing as good as in the previous season. If he had the same kind of performance now too then it would have been even more interesting. But Haaland is really unstoppable now and I expect him to score in even both matches.

Besides I will be hoping Manchester City to advance to the finale and win the title too this time. They definitely deserve it with this effort.

Whoever wins this semi-final is the one who deserves to win the Champions League in my opinion.
Manchester City have sacrificed too much to win the Champions League title, but they have to realize we are a team more based on experience and winning titles. So no one should underestimate Real Madrid, but if Manchester City want to win the title for the first time they have to beat us (I'm not sure).

I really believe we can qualify for the final even though Manchester City has shown a lot of interest, but I can assure you that the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City is the toughest among the other semifinal matches.

Why are you comparing the number of points in the tournament and the Champions League, they are completely different things and certainly not an indication of which team is stronger.

I honestly hate to admit it a little, but Milan's mentality in this Champions League is really good, so they could optimize their performance to overcome Napoli, and they succeeded. Their success in beating Napoli 2-1 on aggregate was quite surprising, especially for me. I thought that it would be Napoli who would qualify especially ahead in the first leg, but it turned out to be Milan who went through. Really appreciate with what Milan has achieved so ffar in Champions League. This is certainty different with their Serie A.

Real Madrid has also succeded to the next round. Well, the probality for the other teams qualifying for semi finals will be Man City and Inter Milan. And I also hate to know that Real Madrid will face Man City in the Semi Final. 🙃

I agree, a match like this is worthy of a final and I hope the final itself won't be boring after such a crazy derby.

Well it's still an important match and I still feel that even if there is Inter or Milan in the final but to win I think it still depends on Manchester City or Madrid again.
Now it depends on them whether they are able to win in the semi-finals because if Manchester City or Madrid end up in the final then they will most likely have the chance to win the Champions League.

Not only you, almost all of us think that this is an early final which was not expected in the semifinals but no one can go against destiny
I can't deny that almost all of the community in this forum support Real Madrid because they have the ability and experience however at this time Manchester City was very different from previous seasons they have great players who are on the top scorer list while Madrid usually relies on Benzema whose contribution is currently declining.

I beg to differ in that assumption and believe that Real Madrid has a better chance to win the champion League than any other club even though Real Madrid seems to be the biggest club in the tournament right now, but we must not forget the fact that Manchester City is also playing at top rated right now and could possibly win the trophy this period.

I know a lot of Speculators are pointing to Real Madrid but I have more confidence in Manchester City this season and if all things are equal there will be possible positive results from their meeting in the next leg.

Real Madrid team will play with great importance against Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals. Because Manchester City is one of the best teams in order to defeat this team, new tactics must be applied and Real Madrid's defense must be much stronger to stop Manchester City's attack.

From the last 16 of UCL I really hope Man City vs Real Madrid in the final. Eh, they even got the same chart and met in the semifinals. In my opinion, this is an early Final. On the other hand, this time the semifinal round was very exciting, namely the Milan derby. This year Man City played very well but I think Real Madrid can beat Man City because Real Madrid has history in the Champions League.

I hope that those who win in that match don't immediately expect to win the UCL immediately. Because who would have thought that Inter would win the ucl in the MOU era?? at that time Barcelona and other big teams were doing well. The point is Real Madrid and Man City if they qualify for the final, don't underestimate the Milan duo as if they will win for sure.

i honestly don't know if real madrid can actually beat manchester city, this year they seem unstoppable and they have an alien in attack! Bayern Munich saw it at their expense! obviously I too believe that the real final should have been Real Madrid vs Manchester City but the ballot box was unfavorable for the big European clubs and placed them all in the same quadrant! the Italians were lucky. In the final, however, it is difficult to say that Real or Manchester will win easily against Milan or Inter, as tension dominates the match

No one can predict with certainty who will qualify for the final between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Even if their guess is right, I think it's only because they got lucky not because of the accuracy of the analysis.

We can only analyze the game statistics of the two teams, especially in previous matches, as well as the experience and mentality of the players. Real Madrid excel in experience having won 14 titles, while Manchester City are still working to win their first. But given Manchester City's pretty convincing performance, I think they have a good chance of being the favourites on final.
