Yes, Real Madrid will be the real test for Pep Guardiola but I'm sure Manchester City will be able to beat Madrid. Manchester City's success this season has been extraordinary, they are strong candidates to win the trophy this season.

The Semi-final match this time is the umpteenth time meeting for the two elite teams and of course it will be fierce for up to two meetings later.

Pep Guardiola is certainly very ambitious to present the Champions League trophy to Manchester City. If you look at the squad that has been built this season, City really deserves that.

Manchester City is currently still in the three competitions it participates in. Yes, of course it will really disturb Pep's concentration in managing his players. But I think Pep should prioritize the Champions League more and instead have to focus and go for the treble.

I think this year's Champions League semi-final match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be an extraordinary match from previous seasons. We can feel this match a bit in the final game. Because both teams are currently ahead of all clubs in performance. I cannot predict this match because it is very difficult.

Guardiola says Real Madrid are a tough opponent to beat in the Champions League semi-finals. Moreover, Manchester City for the second season in a row met Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals. Last season Manchester City lost to Los Blancos 5-6 on aggregate through a fierce duel. Madrid then became champions by beating Liverpool in the final. Judging from statistics, Guardiola has never been able to win the Champions League since leaving Barcelona. The best opportunity with Manchester City occurred in the 2020/2021 season when The Citizens were defeated by Chelsea in the final match. Guardiola does not deny that winning the Champions League is not an easy task. so they keep trying to be better in every game to get victory.

Manchester City's success in stepping into the semifinals of the Champions League has made Manchester City maintain the opportunity to win the treble this season. But Guardiola admits that his team is getting tired, so Guardiola needs to strategize to maintain the stamina of his players to fight Madrid in the semifinals because that match will be Manchester City's revenge for the previous defeat last season.

Yes, Manchester city are well organized to break the record this season because from the beginning of this tournament they maintain a good position that lead them to semi-final, that made them to have a good hope of winning the champion league title. I don't think, Real Madrid has the strength to stop Manchester city in this semi-final because they find it difficult to defeat Chelsea in the quarter-finals, and I believe Manchester city will do everything possible within their power to defeat Real Madrid 2-0 in this match. No matter the strategy Real Madrid are going to use in this semi-final, it will be difficult for their defenders to stop Erling Haaland not to score goals that will bring victory to them at the end of the match.

It was smart move from your side, Inter players were to relaxed in the last 15min, they had a big lead and being inexperienced in those situations made them concede some goals. I should also use more cashout button since I usually stay with bet until it end. Well done.

City has been evolving to be even better compared with bayern. Bayern is facing so many problems since tuchel was coming to the bayern. There are many players who are feeling disappointed with the result against city. The second leg is boring match. bayern can become equal to the manchester city but it's not enough to beat manchester city. The come of haaland has been changing everything in manchester city, city has a powerful striker. that was also making this club become the best club in EPL.

Haaland was always scoring many goals against its opponent but the performance from haaland was not so impressive during the second leg. There are some things that happened during the match.

Tuchel was getting a red card and he was also making excuses by calling the referee was unfair. So many people are mocking bayern right now.
Bayern is only having bundesliga as the only trophy that can be achieved. Bayern was missing so many opportunities. The attacking lines need to be solved as well.

I remember lewandowski was always become the best striker owner by bayern but this time looks different.

Manchester City did attack a bit but most of the attacks ended up outside the goal post. But Haaland succeeded in an attack in the middle of the match and Bayern managed to touch the ball in the goal post and Manchester City were one goal ahead. While Bayern was strong in the past, the club is now at a much lower level. Currently, Manchester City is very strong and at the current stage, the club is seen winning most of the matches during the event. Manchester City kept the goal post safe until the end of the match, but a late goal was conceded and the match ended in a 1-1 draw. And many people lose bets. Because everyone took less number of people in case of match draw.

I had Inter to win and when they got 3-1 I thought now I secured my bet but something felt not right as I saw the players of Inter still defending and hoping in counter attacks as this was the way they scored the goals yesterday.By doing so they let a lot of space open to Benfica players who got to 3-2 from a free kick in 87 minute.I immediately used the cashout button and withdraw as I thought why risking it and in the end I was right,I saw the game ended 3-3 which was no problem for Inter as they were already qualified but it was big problem for us bettors or better for the bettors who did not cashout the bet.

Don't forget that Bayern was the only team in the group and knockout stage that went without losing or drawing a match. The did well in the second leg of the quarter finals but Man city 3 goal advantage in the first leg affected the outcome of Bayern's effort. If they had not conceding those many goals in the first leg they would found a way to salvage the situation. City is a strong team no doubt that was why it was difficult for Bayern to have scored many goals in their return leg.

It's really interesting if my fantasy falls on the MC club and Inter Milan to meet in the Champions League Final, because if Real Madrid advances to the Final then it's certain they will win it and the boredom that will exist in Champions League connoisseurs, why is it so difficult for a  the club dropped Real Madrid in the Champions League, even though Real Madrid only relied on young players or had the influence of that much experienced midfielders like Luca Modric, and Toni Cross, who always helped Karim Banzema to score goals, I'm sure the MC club class might be able to tackle  it's rare for Real Madrid to get into the Finals, because of my boredom seeing clubs like Real Madrid always dominate this Big League..

The job was already done in the first leg. Manchester City’s first leg win over Bayern Munich was too much of a hill to climb for this Bayern Munich side. They weren’t as sharp as last season and it was evident in the game yesterday. I expected them to play and attack and score as many goals but they weren’t much organize and their approach to the game wasn’t good enough. They now focused on the Bundesliga with 6 more games to go with 59 points, while Dortmund have 57 points at hand. I think Bayern Munich will lift the title because they’re now competing for only that title now.

maybe we don't need to look at Chelsea because of the poor performance of several leagues and comparing Real Madrid to Chelsea it is far superior to Madrid.

it is clear that bookies will like Man City at this time because of the excellent performance in every league that Man City has done and this is a worthy opponent to find with Real Madrid. because these two teams are equally strong and have the same chance of winning.
so it is very difficult to predict who will win this match.
so for the upcoming matches, there will be a possibility that both teams will end in a draw.

Since both teams played well, I must admit that the game is very interesting. However, due to the rules of the game, one team must be eliminated, so Bayern Munich is eliminated due to their performance in the first leg. However, looking at the goals they scored, I believe that Bayern Munich's defensive players are at fault because they didn't play well in defense, which gives Manchester City the chance to defeat Bayern Munich.
Benfica really gave it their all to defeat Inter in their matchup, but they were unable to do so. However, I am confident that if they play to their previous level in the return leg, Inter will never be able to defeat them because I think they are in a stronger position than Inter.

Not intending to underestimated the two clubs from Serie A who will face each other in the semifinals because what these two clubs from one city have achieved is extraordinary, because it was never considered that they would be able to go this far and in fact they were capable and one of the clubs in Milan it's going to the final, but in my opinion the other semi-final becomes the final that happens earlier Manchester City vs Real Madrid.

The two clubs have H2H were quite balanced by beating each other and also ending in a draw so this will be a semifinal which will be difficult to predict who will be superior, maybe when the first leg matches have been carried out it will start to be seen a little which of the two will have a bigger chance to advance to finals stage.

Real Madrid, who will host the first leg, will definitely not waste this opportunity by winning the match as well as trying to score pretty much goals, and interestingly, if they are able to get rid of Manchester City, this Spanish Club will be the club that gets rid of 3 teams from the English premier league, first Liverpool second Chelsea and maybe Man City next, even though this will be the most difficult match compared to when getting rid of the 2 previous teams.

Pep Guardiola has been train Manchester City since 2016 and from local competitions Guardiola has been wins everything and only european competitions trophies which he never got before so he make champion league trophy as his primary target for each season and this is fantastic moment for Guardiola because all they have to do is only beat Real Madrid and reach to final matches but in my opinion Real Madrid is different than their previous opponents because in this competition Real Madrid has strong champion mentally

On the other hand finally after long time we will see again Italian teams in the semifinal match but unfortunately Inter and Milan have to met each other early and this is could be tight match because both teams already know the weakness of their opponent but at least Italy has 1 representative in the final match later

Yesterday's games were exciting and thrilling; not just because of the big names but how desperate the home teams were to secure at least a chance to keep them in the competition.
 In Man city's case, it was a done deal as in the first leg, they managed to secure their spot by thrashing Bayern 3-0 at the Etihad and just used this return leg as a means to just fulfil all righteousness because I strongly doubted Bayern to come back since they lacked composure, finesse and the finishing techniques to win the game.
 It's going to be a cracker come 9th of May as two great bulls will lock horns and honestly, I can't predict it's outcome other than it'd be intense!

Bayer was once a strong team, but currently, I don't know what has happened to their team 👥 although they did very well,  but I was surprised when they draw the game was it that Manchester City is now a very strong team 👥 for Bayern?
Manchester City is now becoming tougher for some teams 👥 to beat, first-half of the defense of Manchester City was tightened so as Bayern.
The both teams 👥 tried to protect their post on first-half and if ended 0:0 but second-half 1:1 and this made me to conclude that the both teams 👥 are afraid of each other.

The performance from bayern was declining so hard after tuchel has become the new coach for bayern. The fact that if bayern was always facing lose since tuchel has become a new manager. It’s likely that bayern will still continut its bad trend. Bayern is only having bundesliga as the last hope to get a trophy. It will be a disaster if bayern will not able to get it. What a crazy movement from bayern. The management was just erasing the dream to get treble winner. Naglesmann has been working so hard to make it happen but tuchel was destroying all of dreams owned by bayern when naglesmann are still there. That‘s blunder by bayern to sack naglesmann and then replace it with tuchel.

The thing that i don't even understand is about how tuchel keeps said that if the performance from bayern is quite good at this moment. It can be seen from his interview after the match against manchester city. Public got surprised to hear what already said by tuchel in interview.
I think that all of bavarians are feeling disappointed with the result that already achieved by bayern after tuchel was coming in. Thoma mueller was always become the key player for bayern but that's very sad to see him got benched by tuchel.

All of bavarians are blaming tuchel for his fault right now. Bavarians didn't care anymore about what excuses that used by tuchel. From treble to the trophyless. The only important thing for bayern, bundesliga or get nothing.

That really was some weak showing by Bayern.

If you want the almost impossible to happen you must definitely do more and not present yourself like you did against Man City.
I mean they had some chances but they they were unable to make them count.

Now their focus will be 100% on winning the Bundesliga, which is quite bad for my beloved BVB.
Was hoping for them to somehow make the miracle happen and stay in, this would have rises Dortmunds chances at least a tiny bit.

But now it will be even harder. Never count out Bayern to make a big response in the league.

These are some interesting odds. I mean these odds indicate some strong advantage for Manchester City even when they are playing in the Bernabeu stadium. I disagree with that. It should be more equal. The odds imply that the most likely outcome of that game is a win for Manchester City, but no, I think that even a tie is more likely than that. I know this is about nuances, but if it was like 2.7 for Real Madrid and 2.5 for Manchester City, I would get the idea of the bookmakers, but this difference is a few degrees too big. It isn't worth a bet on Manchester City at all.
