That's for sure. These are quotes from last year when City really looked dominant and Real didn't have Bellingham. Theoretically, I could understand if the teams were rated equally, although even in this case I would consider Real underrated, but the fact that City are the away favorites is simply ridiculous. At the moment I am thinking about what is the most profitable thing to do - take a risk and make a simple bet on Real Madrid or make a reliable double chance bet on Real Madrid.

I believe you saw what Real Madrid did to Manchester city last season and, if care is not taking some thing that worse than that will surely happen to Manchester city in this game not to secure a single goal from the game because, Real Madrid has the capability to secure 2 goals from this game to beat Manchester city.

They will not bet for the favour of Manchester city to win  this game because, they know that Real Madrid don't joke with UEFA champions league competition and their coach have players that are good in this champions league to bring good results to Real Madrid.

Jude rarely missed matches for Real Madrid this season and Brahim was used a lot as a replacement for Vinicius Junior who missed more matches in this season than Jude.

Brahim can replace Jude too but his skills and favorite position make him is more nearly better replacement for Vini, not Jude.

Real Madrid have La Liga and Champions League to fight and with good position and gap against Barcelona and Girona, they can easily plan with rest matches in La Liga.

In Champions League, with problems in Manchester City after letting Gundogan, Mahrez move to other clubs and failed to replace them, plus recent not impressive match with Arsenal, things look good for Real Madrid before two matches in quarter final. They are not far from another Champions League final match.

Ancelotti is indeed blessed with a proportional squad where he doesn't need to worry if an important player is absent because the substitute players have almost the same quality. This is what makes Real Madrid so dangerous this season because almost every line has equally great replacements. It's just that sometimes this can make things difficult to predict because there will definitely be times when a player is not at his best.

But so far we see it is fine and whether it is the Champions League or the domestic league, Real Madrid is still good in every match. The first leg will be one of the keys to qualifying for the semifinals for Real Madrid and in the match against Bilbao last week, the fans who came unfurled banners saying that everyone who comes to the match against Manchester City must wear white uniforms. Maybe fans want to show solidarity to support their favorite team with loud colors rather than mixing them with other colors. I think this method is quite effective in suppressing the mentality of the Manchester City players later.

Jude Bellingham ever absent on several important matches but Brahim Diaz can replace well his position, I think how smart with Carlo Ancelotti tactician make Madrid become one unity team without depend on one player. Last match the victory over Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, Vinicius Jr absent but Rodrygo can replace well on left winger position and success made brave, I think Real  Madrid has more opportunity for winning first leg match exactly still not problem with some main players but Manchester City on bad position.

Have three matches in one week and difference with Real Madrid just focus for first champion league match its give advantage for Madrid to secure winning result for the first leg, Manchester City has problem with some main players get injury and not confirming yet will be ready for the first leg match or not.

Real Madrid does not depend on Bellingham, we have seen more than once matches in which everything was decided by Vinicius, or where Hoselu could score the winning goal, and besides, they also have Rodrigo, so the attack of Real Madrid never depended only on Bellingham.

De Bruyne will play today against Astn Villa, which means everything is fine with him, and there is even information that Ederson could also return to the game today, but this is still in question. Walker and Ake will definitely miss the game with Aston Villa, and it is not yet clear about the game with Real, but especially Walker will be an indispensable player in the match with Real, to contain Real's attacks.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich were considered the favorites to win the Champions League this season. Real Madrid and City are going to meet in the quarter finals. Both teams are very strong. It is very difficult to predict which team will win.

Real Madrid's performance is dependent on Bellingham. Vini and Rodrygo's performance is very erratic. If these two players can perform well then their chances of victory against City will increase. De Bruyne, on the other hand, has fitness issues. De Bruyne will be with the squad against Aston Villa today. Defying Haaland and De Bruyne will certainly be challenging for Real Madrid's defenders. I decided not to bet on this match.

Correct. Both teams are indeed the best in the UCL league, in fact both teams are favorites to win the UCL trophy this season, only now they have to kill each other to get through to the semifinals. Initially I hoped that these two teams would be very suitable to face each other in the final.

But I have a different view from you. In my opinion, Real Madrid has a slight advantage in the first leg because of the match schedule. Man City still has two more matches before facing Real Madrid, while Real Madrid in La Liga is on holiday because of the CDR final. Not to mention that Man City has to fly to Spain because the first leg will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu. Of course, playing in the opposing crowd you have to have a strong mentality. So my prediction is that Real Madrid will win in the first leg.

It's very clear to see, even though for fans that are not too into football, because if you look at their performance this season especially against the bigger teams,  you will observe that it was only against Manchester united that they didn't struggled, if not, they struggled against all other top side unlike last season that they where on fire.

Talking about their encounter between real madrid, to me it would be very difficult for them to eliminate real madrid considering their form, even though they are still the bookmarkers favourites, due to their experience and the kind of caliber of players in their ranks, but I believe that it's really going to be a fascinating encounter between this two teams, but nothing is impossible in football, if they can raise their game to the level of last season, then I believe that they can eliminate real madrid with such performance.

Two teams from the English Premier League are in quite an unpleasant situation because they don't have much rest time before the match starts because they still have two league matches to play, so this might make them tired, especially as Manchester City and Arsenal still have to focus on the match at local league to keep the chance for title contender.
If Arsenal and Manchester City were seeded then the opposite result might happen and don't be surprised if these two teams are eliminated in the quarter-finals because it cannot be denied that the busy schedule will make it difficult for them to maintain their performance or if they focus on the UCL it will give Liverpool an advantage.
In this first match, my prediction is that both of them will experience defeat and will try to recover in the second match, but this can only happen if they are not behind by a large goal margin.

This is certainly going to be a tough match between both teams.Manchester City remain favourite for that tie,but a person like me knows  very well that  Madrid will eliminate Mancity from the tournament.Its going to end in favour of Madrid because I don't really think City are on the level they were before,they have lost some of their key players like Mahrez and Gundogan who were very instrumental to their lifting the trophy last season.They are now playing for different teams,and are doing well at the place they are.
The Champions league this season is between Arsenal, Dortmund,and Madrid.

in the UCL match which will start soon it will be even more difficult to predict because there are so many teams that have almost the same squad and performance and in this UCL match we as bettors may not have the choice of just supporting the favorite team but sometimes we think about getting profit of betting on the underdog team.

and regarding the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match, even though everyone has been talking about whether Bayern Munich will still qualify for the semi finals, but for the first leg match I am a little sure that Arsenal can beat Bayern Munich in the first leg and then Bayern Munich will be able to beat Arsenal in the second leg with a higher aggregate score.
so anyone who chooses to bet on Arsenal winning the first leg will probably do the same.

regarding Real Madrid vs Man City, even though Walker will appear in the match I will still bet on Real Madrid winning and this is not about me being a Real Madrid fan but also because Real Madrid has the advantage of playing at home to have a greater chance of winning.
and when I heard the news that several Man City players were injured and absent from the match, I became very confident that Madrid could win and most likely the bookmakers favored Man City as the away team just because Man City performance was still trusted like last season.

Gundogan was one of the core players of Manchester City last season and his move to Barcelona certainly surprised many parties, but I think it doesn't leave too big a hole in Manchester City because currently Manchester City have Kovacic and also of course Phil Foden who can play in the same position as Gundogan and we also cannot forget the doku who has been able to perform well,  In my opinion, Manchester City's performance is still quite stable at the moment and of course it is still very potential to be able to endanger Madrid in the quarterfinals later.

The match between Manchester City and Madrid is certainly a spectacle that we cannot miss, in that match I think both teams will be able to field their best squad except maybe Ederson who is still doubtful to be able to strengthen Manchester City, as well as Courtois who is currently in an injured condition, both teams have lost their main goalkeeper this season but still it will not make the intensity of the game of both teams Downhill, I think Madrid will make the game a revenge from last season defeat, but even so of course Manchester City will try hard to maintain their status as defending champions this season.

It feels like watching the finals int the semifinals level. This fight between these two teams is not going to be easy. Manchester City currently are still on their peak of performance. Last week Arsenal was lucky to hold the ball till the game ended with Manchester City not able to score even a goal against them. Which it has been a long time since any team kept Manchester City in that kind of position. However, Real Madrid is quite an attacking team, one with them experience in the UCL. They won't play this match defensively rather they would play it aggressively form the start of the match to the last minute.

Their aim is to score Manchester City in both halves. If they can do that then the game will end in a draw match. Ahead of the game i am predicting a 2:2 or 3:3 draw between Manchester City and Real Madrid. The second leg would then determine who will survive the semifinal and move to the next level of the competition.

The contiuation of the UCL will start from next week and i can feel the hype from all of football fans because there will be so many big matches to happen at the same time, it makes me confuse on which match to watch. The upcoming matchday also creating the hype becomes even bigger than before caused by almost all of big clubes were qualifying for the next round. The next week will be starting with Arsenal vs Bayern and Madrid vs City.

There will be a lot of great matches to come and these matches are worthy to watch, and I'm very happy to seeing that if we see a match between City and Madrid. A lot of people already talked these match caused by they thjought that if it was too early for city to face madrid but this is the reality that shall be accepted. Many became even increasingly skeptic of Manchester City's performance at Santiago Bernabeu, particularly since the club is expected to lose some key players that are very important for the squad. The latest news suggest that that Walker and Akanji will miss the game against Real Madrid in the future after pep has announced if they are suffering serious injuries. So here are the odds for the upcoming match.

I can't even believe how City has been favored to win against Real Madrid in away game even though they must be missing some important players due to the injury players. I can imagine how strong the city would be if Walker were there city must be using alternative solution to put rico lewis to play in the game  which has become the only possible solution for this. but I'm still hoping he'll recover from his injury even faster since city really needs his service in order to keep play in UCL. There will be no a good player who can prevent Vini from exploring the possibilities to help Madrid win the game against manchester city. City can only rely upong rico lewis to guard vini.

      

The competition was at a high level in the match between Arsenal and Manchester City. Both teams were careful in their positions because the loser could lose the championship. Likewise, I think Manchester City will have a similar performance in the Real Madrid match. Of course, Manchester City will look for opportunities to beat Real Madrid, but at least they will try not to be defeated. These two matches will be among the most enjoyable matches in terms of viewing pleasure.

Actually I feel happy because I feel Man City are a bit worse than last year. This is because some core players like Gundogan left. But indeed Foden can replace the sling quite well but not as well as Gundogan. But it is quite difficult to determine who will win. Because these two teams are equally good. It's just that I always remember, Madrid always struggle if they meet a team that is strong in possession.

The creativity from last season and this season are much different otherwise they Manchester City would have defeated Arsenal during the weekend clash at Etihad Stadium.
Real Madrid as we all know have been a good attacking side but I doubt they would want to park the bus just the same way Arsenal did against Manchester City to get a point out of the game.

Real Madrid would definitely attack, even if I feel like Carlo Ancellotti has been too defensive than he has been. Manchester City are not favorites, take a look at the squad and also the creativity, you'd see a big difference from last season and this very season.
The signature of Kovacic and Nunez from Wolverampton didn't cover up with the players who left.

I see he is trying to make a change now, by making moves for Bruno Guimmares from Newcastle and Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United.

Both teams are the best in the Champions League this season. But I think City has a bigger chance than Madrid. Real Madrid is the team with the best record in the Champions League but I don't think that record can be a reference to their current power level. This is a tough game to choose who will win. Real Madrid had difficulty beating Leipzig. But City also couldn't beat Arsenal and they had difficulty penetrating the Arsenal defense. Real Madrid will try to learn strategy from Arteta. And I'm sure Pep will also cover up their mistakes like against Arsenal. Honestly, this was a really interesting match to watch.

Well, Real Madrid still holds the title of king in the UCL when it comes to accumulating UCL trophies. Because they have won the most trophies in the UCL. Even though Real Madrid currently has more young players, the young players at Real Madrid have proven their quality which cannot be underestimated. It's just that fighting Manchester City will still be the most difficult thing, even for Real Madrid. Luckily Real Madrid has more rest time than Manchester City. So I think Real Madrid players can have better preparation. And they as hosts will probably be many favourites. Although I know there are still many who doubt Real Madrid because their head to head with Manchester City is not very good. But I think this season will be different. But personally, I'm still confused about who to favorite in this match.
