Perhaps Haaland is not to blame for such a mediocre game, because you can see that Manchester City players often ignore him and almost do not pass to him, and to put pressure alone is extremely difficult, especially against a team like Real Madrid, so in this match Haaland again looked bad.

Apparently Manchester will really be the favorite in the next game, but I think that is not too obvious and the chances for City to come out I think 55-60%, but this is if Real have all the leaders will be ready to play, if the lineup will be Bellingham, Vinicius and Modric.

all the goals scored were massively incredible which brings to play the quality you have for both teams and can only make you respect them the more. When it comes to matches involving this two teams, it's just always an epic display of quality play all through. Quality passes, accurate and precised shots energy and a massive fighting and comeback spirit from both teams. Vinicious jnr has always been instrumental in almost all the goals and you can't have a dull moment when dude is on the pitch of play. With all the critics and his attitude problems, dude always deliver in his role giving back to back goals and great assist whenever he sees the slightest chance.

Big Respect to vin jnr🤗

In my view the draw was less deserving for Arsenal haven possessed the game in the much part of the whole time of the game, they had huge dominance than I had imagined they will playing against Bayern Munich but it's so disappointing that playing a weak Bayern team for the first time in many years Arsenal couldn't grab a win even in their home ground. Their chances to survive at the Alenz Arena is not a thing of debate because obviously if they couldn't get a win at their home from a weak Bayern Munich is it at Bayern Munich home arsenal can get a win. No, am not sure, except they just get lucky.

It was really a fascinating encounter in the both matches to be frank,   because the game between Manchester city and Real madrid, the both teams are well up for a fight, though from the start, I expected real madrid to win Manchester city convincingly because Manchester city form have declined this season compared to last season, but Manchester city proved me wrong by showing why they are the defending champions, though the tie is still open, but I think that Manchester city will be too strong for real madrid at the Etihad.

And as for the arsenal game, I Said it here that lack of experience will definitely be the short comings of this arsenal side because in the uefa champions league, experience is very much important for you to be successful,  and that is what arsenal are lacking, they were just lucky last night, if not, they would have lost this first leg, and I really do think that at this point, Bayern Munich will definitely be in more advantage position in the return leg at the alliance arena, since they are playing in front of their fan.

Manchester City were lucky that Lunin apparently couldn't cope with the nerves at this level and if it wasn't for the first goal, there's no telling how the match would have turned out.
Valverde's goal is really great, but we should also note the jeweled pass, unfortunately I didn't see who it was, but the pass from the left wing across the whole field to the right was great.

Aresenal was really overrated and before the match started the odds for Bayern to win were more than 4, which I think is a lot and in the end Arsenal had to win back again and it was good that there was a player like Trossard in the lineup and Arsenal was able to win back.

Manchester City is probably the favorite in the return match with Real Madrid, but with the pair Arsenal-Bavaria, now there is no clear favorite.

I wasn't expecting Manchester City to play Real Madrid the way they did at the Santiago Bernabéu, the three goal Real Madrid conceded was outside eighteen. After Real Madrid scored two goals, they started to play defensively, but this did not work, so they started attacking after Manchester City scored the third goal. The pressure was too much for Real Madrid, which I did not expect to happen at home. I didn't want what happened last season be repeated again, i want Real Madrid to reach the final. They draw the first leg at home, we never know how Manchester City will play them on their home stadium.

Arsenal, on the other hand, I expected them to beat Bayern Munich also, considering Bayern Munich's poor form at this point. Arsenal could eliminate Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals, but I do not believe they will get to the Champions League final, they do not seems to be strong enough to do so.

There is nothing like home and away for the clubs playing now; they can beat you comfortably in your home and that is one thing to put into consideration when making predictions now. That Manchester City was unable to beat Real Madrid was not because of home advantage, the match was played fairly and in high spirit for both teams. The suspense was unique, just few minutes into the match Manchester City was in the lead but within 10 minutes further everything changed and Real Madrid took over. Arsenal and Bayern Munic match also followed the same suspense and I find it very difficult knowing teams to qualify as home advantage is definitely not what to use as basis. Remember that the away goals rule have been abolished so both matches will be played on equal terms.

Of course, if Bayern had been able to hold onto the winning score it would have been better, but a draw in the first away match is not a bad result. Bayern again plays the second half worse than the first, it is not clear what is causing this trend, but it would be worth changing. The return match will be more difficult for Arsenal, it seems to me that Tuchel managed to achieve a positive result in the first game.

Well, the Real - City match, as for me, met all expectations, a lot of goals is always spectacular. In general, I liked City more and my opinion is that if Ederson City had been in the gate, they could have won this match, but this is just my guess. I think Guardiola should be happy with the result, and they will try to win the home match.

It was previously predicted that the duel between Real Madrid vs Man City would be fierce, the match was exciting from the first minute and really entertained the audience. Both clubs launched continuous pressure on their opponent's defense area, a six-goal drama occurred in this match which resulted in the match ending in a 3-3 draw.
The draw at the Bernabeu was very detrimental for Madrid, who have to play the second leg against Man City at the Etihad Stadium on April 18. Man City will certainly devote all their strength to achieve victory as they did last season at the Etihad stadium when they eliminated Real Madrid with a final score of 4-0.

Meanwhile, in another match, Arsenal had to settle for being held to a draw by Bayern Munich with a score of 2-2, Arsenal fate was exactly the same as that experienced by Real Madrid. A draw in the first leg is certainly a tough challenge for Arsenal and Real Madrid, who were only able to achieve a draw at their headquarters. They had to play a tough match away from home to their opponents in order to secure tickets to the Champions League semifinals.
I also predict that both of them will be a little under pressure when facing their opponents because the atmosphere on the field is dominated by the home team's supporters.

This is really not a bad result at all for both Arsenal and Mancity. However, Mancity will have more advantages when they will be able to play the second leg at home. Yesterday's quarterfinal match was truly two truly dramatic and satisfying matches for fans that watched live.

Mancity and Arsenal both entered the game confidently and somewhat dominanted at the beginning of the match when they took the lead. But indeed, the teams in this quarter-final are all very upset and have equal qualifications, especially Real Madrid and Bayern, they are both experienced teams in this arena.

The draw result also accurately reflects the current strength and performance of the 4 teams. The scenario continues to be unpredictable in the second leg when the score advantage is absent, only the home field advantage factor remains. In this respect, Mancity seems to have the biggest advantage.

To be honest, I was not at all satisfied with Bayern Munich's performance. I expected a better performance from Munich. Munich have performed poorly in the last two matches in the Bundesliga. However, I was optimistic that the team would do well in the Champions League match.

Although Bayern Munich did not play well enough, they did not lose this match. A draw away match is definitely a good result for Munich. However, even after performing well in the home match, the Arsenal team failed to win. It is now more difficult for Arsenal to win away matches and qualify for the next round.

Yes, perhaps the performance of the two teams is completely opposite. The home team is a proactive team with more organized attacks. However, Bayern Munich showed their age and discomfort in overcoming the perfect version of Arsenal this season.
Arsenal had a perfect chance to defeat an exhausted Bayern due to a disappointing performance and lack of support from the away crowd. While missing this opportunity, Arsenal may regret visiting Allianz Arena in the second leg. As for Bayern, this result is acceptable, and they will prepare for the second leg at Allianz Arena with the best possible mentality.

The teams that competed in yesterday's UCL Champions League matches should be commended for their efforts, as it is not an easy feat to win or draw in this competition. The most unexpected matchup involved Real Madrid and Manchester City; I would find it hard to believe that Real Madrid could not defeat City, as they had numerous opportunities to score but failed to take advantage of them. The most disheartening aspect of the match is that Real Madrid even covered the head of their stadium, but nothing good happened. Additionally, the second leg of the match is being played at Etihad Stadium, a venue where Real Madrid has never won a game. I was even considering the possibility that the Real Madrid team that is playing in La Liga is the same one that played against Manchester City yesterday, as Bellingham and Vinicius' performance was not even mentioned in the game.

Regarding Arsenal and Bayern Munich, a lot of people believe that Arsenal will win because Bayern Munich is struggling in their own league. However, I have always maintained that the Champions League is unlike other leagues, and Bayern Munich shouldn't be taken lightly. Bayern Munich went to Arsenal Stadium, but Arsenal was unable to defeat Bayern Munich, and we all know what happens to Arsenal when they play at home. As a result, I believe that anything can happen in this competition, and I no longer trust any team.

Both Manchester City and Real Madrid have performed well. The players of both the teams tried their best to win the match. They did a lot of attacks. Manchester City had 62% of the ball. However, Manchester City could not score more than three goals due to the defenders of Real Madrid performing well enough.

We haven't seen a better performance from Manchester City's main player Haaland in this important match. Also, I don't know why Guardiola didn't keep De Bruyne in the starting XI. On the other hand, we could not have seen a better performance than Bellingham, one of the key players in Madrid's squad.

I think Real Madrid and Arsenal are able to put pressure on the visiting club because they have a big chance in the match, but who would have thought that Manchester City and Bayern Munich gave a very good performance which made it difficult for the home club. They managed to hold the home club Bayern Munich to a draw Arsenal with a score of 2:2 and Manchester City held Real Madrid to a draw with a score of 3:3. I also thought there would definitely be lots of goals in their match but I didn't expect the match to be a draw I actually favored the home club, but unfortunately the home club was unable to maintain its advantages.

Visiting clubs Bayern Munich and Manchester City are certainly very happy because they were able to hold their opponents to a draw and they have a bigger chance in the second meeting to prove who will make it through to the semifinals. But Arsenal and Real Madrid will also not let their opponents go smoothly to advance to the semifinals. Arsenal and Real Madrid will try as hard as possible to complicate their path and as much as possible give them a draw again so that they can bring them to a penalty which will determine the victory them.

Here if I talk about Real Madrid then they are strong enough in this season, meanwhile Manchester City is no less Manchester City is performing well throughout the season. But coming to this match, there was a draw with Real Madrid, both teams performed very strongly. But most of the ball in this field was under the control of Manchester City team but they missed enough goals. Due to which Manchester City team could not win this match despite performing well.

Valverde has good skills for distant and one-touched shots like this one and he scored an impressive goal for Real Madrid. I am more impressed about the vision of Vinicius Junior. He took a glance and quickly made his decision to pass the ball to Valverde, not Brahim or Jude. Not many players can have good vision, calm mind and can make a good decision and turn it to an accurate assist like this.

Vinicius Junior was given a good opportunity from a key pass of Rodrygo when the match is 2 - 1 for Real Madrid. If he turns it to a goal, the match can go more easily for Real Madrid.

Arsenal and Munich achieved a 2:2 draw. Arsenal's chance of qualifying for the semifinals seems unlikely because in the second leg Munich has a bigger chance because they are playing at home, but if Arsenal can hold a draw like Munich did in this match then both teams will still have the opportunity to take a penalty and it will be quite difficult to predict who will qualify for the semifinals.

All the strong teams in the two Champions League quarter-final matches have performed well. The Champions League leg-1 matches were very competitive and interesting with enough strong fights from each team.

The exciting match between Manchester City and Real Madrid was really interesting. Real Madrid conceded a goal early on but then equalized and went up again with a goal against Man City. Madrid did well until half time but after half time did not have much attacking success and Manchester City played well. Manchester City leveled the game after half-time and Madrid scored another goal later, Manchester City equalized in the 79th minute and the game ended in a 3-3 draw.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich was more exciting and both teams were in good form with Arsenal scoring first. But unfortunately Bayern Munich went ahead in the game on a penalty shot. However, no team could come back with a win till the last moment due to which the match was a draw. And this Champions League match was really interesting with a 2/2 draw, surely the next leg-2 will be more exciting and it will be very difficult to say which team will win.

Valverde's goal was so cold, like ice. I could watch it on repeat forever.

The first leg ended in a draw, and I think both sides played well. The home team definitely missed a big opportunity. The second leg will be held at Bayern Munich and Manchester City's grounds, and I believe that both home teams have the advantage heading into the next stage. Damn sure it won't be easy for the visitors in the second leg.
