Pep Guardiola is somehow the reason why many think that Manchester City will win the home game, but an experienced team is always the best. That is why I still believe in Real Madrid winning the home game, and they will use that opportunity to get more goals so that even if they lose the second leg, they will still win on aggregate. But many things that Real Madrid will be that dull and watch themselves lose against Manchester City, to me, that is the wrong mistakes they will ever make in this season's Champions League, but I believe more in their experience than in the past games they played with Manchester City.


Prediction is normally a risky game, which is the same as a bet, so definitely going with what your mind gives you is the potential risk, so believe in whatever game you wish to predict is the best. Moreover, our prediction on the game is also the same, but his prediction on Manchester City winning the game most likely comes with some of his facts, so he is the one to know if he is truly ready for the risk before taking it. Furthermore, the game is tomorrow, and we will patiently wait for the game results to see the winner.

If someone decides to bet, they should already know what risk they will take, if in the first leg someone chooses Manchester City to win even though they are playing away, this is clearly too risky for the bettor because Real Madrid's home factor can also determine the home club's victory. , but it's a surprise, no one knows that Manchester City might be able to hold Real Madrid to a draw to make it easier in the second leg. But it looks like Real Madrid will try their best to get lots of shots on goal and will create a big aggregate to make it easier in the second leg. This match is indeed It's hard to predict that there will be a fierce battle between the two camps.

Yes, I also agree with you, I will bet on the club winning when competing at home and whoever manages to qualify and is able to create a large aggregate or a difference of just 1 aggregate is influential and able to take them to the semifinals, both clubs look equally strong and not want to miss the moment in the Champions League this season, it is really a very exciting match for us to watch, like watching the final match between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the race for the Champions League title.

The winner will be decided by two matches, one at a home stadium, and another one at a home-away stadium. Winner will be decided by an aggregated result after two matches so a team don't need to win at a home-away match, just a draw is enough and return home to beat the opponent. If a team lose at a home stadium, at this level, it will be very difficult to flip an aggregated result with a home-away match.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are experienced enough in Champions League and they understand each other well through many matches recent seasons. I believe they will try to focus on their defense in a home-away match and wait for chance to beat the host. If they can not beat a host, they will not consider it as a bad result if they return home with a draw.

Last season, Man City also had difficulty winning when playing in front of Real Madrid supporters. So I think this time it will be the same. But for those who bet on Man City in the first leg then I wish them luck. But I might prefer to bet on Man City winning in the second leg when Man City is the host. And actually the results of the first leg can also have a big influence on the results of the second leg. It's just that I'm sure both teams will score goals in the first leg but it's quite difficult to predict who will win.

Real Madrid does have much longer experience and is still the winner of the most titles in the UCL. But I can't measure Real Madrid's current strength. And so did Man City, which yesterday was even held to a draw at home by Arsenal in the Premier League. This has raised doubts about Man City in the UCL.

I think after City were held to a draw by Arsenal at the Etihad yesterday, people became a little more confident in Madrid, even though the two teams are actually almost equal in strength. It's quite reasonable actually, when City can't beat Arsenal, how can they beat a team like Madrid in the future. This simple analysis is actually quite reasonable, and it must be admitted that it is quite difficult to achieve consecutive success in the Champions League.

Ancelotti will certainly study where the weaknesses in Pep Guardiola squad lie this season, and City match against Arsenal yesterday provided more of an illustration of this. Overall, City has so far suffered more defeats than Madrid in all the events they have participated in, but Madrid is unlikely to beat Pep Guardiola fleet.

What is clear is that this match is still quite difficult to predict, but in the first leg Madrid will certainly have a slight advantage because they act as hosts, although I believe City will not be afraid of the away game. City busy match schedule gives Madrid better opportunities, we'll see how Pep Guardiola brings his fleet out of this tough period.

Well Xabi who’s improved this Leverkusen squad and has increased their tally for going unbeaten this season to 39 games run and they’re now considered the winners of the Bundesliga already and a very strong contender for the UEL. The way he’s shaped this Leverkusen side to success has made him put his name on the limelight for some jobs.

 ⁠The likes of Bayern Munich and Liverpool who are in need of a coach for next season came with an offer and we all expected Xabi to want to leave Bayern to a better team. Well Xabi had his plans and he just let that out through accepting to be at Leverkusen for some more years and now you begin to wonder.

 Well I don’t think his decision was a bad one as this Leverkusen side aren’t looking like a team that will struggle next season rather I still believe they have every possibility of winning the league again next season except Bayern gets a very experienced coach and a key addition to their already failing squad. Also Leverkusen are in the UCL and Xabi taking this team to the UCL and doing well will be a very big boost to his CV and I feel he’s also wanting to get the UCL experience with Leverkusen before going for bigger jobs.

 As such, I don’t see anything wrong in him getting committed to the club for another year, so I feel other clubs should try to let him be and try again next season or next 2 seasons because man is really concentrated and composed on achieving a lot with this Leverkusen side and we just can’t help than wish him luck in his path.

Likewise with me, I speculate that City will be able to overthrow Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Well, we each have our own opinions and speculation regarding the match between these two teams. Currently, we are talking from each perspective plus based on data and statistics. But in football, it's not just about data and statistics. The point is that when the match is held/finished, we will know the results of the match between these two teams.
In this meeting, Madrid will not easily overthrow City. Moreover, City has proven that last season they held Real Madrid to a draw. This season, something similar could happen again. What is certain is that Don Carlo must prepare strategies and tactics to overcome this when hosting Pep Guardiola's squad. even though there is a big possibility that K Walker is absent, Ederson is absent, City has a replacement player instead. Apart from that, I'm pretty sure Pep is also experienced and has a way to overthrow Madrid. at least, even though the match hasn't been held yet. as a coach, Pep has prepared his strategy for the meeting in the quarter-finals later. Likewise with Madrid, City will be a tough opponent that they will face in their next meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu.

As you said, I have said in several previous posts, bookmakers give almost even odds. which means, this match has the potential to result in a draw. or, one of the teams will lose. it could be Madrid, or Manchester City. But what is certain is that if we refer to the temporary betting market, City has the same probability as Madrid to defeat each other in the next match. So, let's just wait because this will be very interesting for us to enjoy.

When one come across risk, they can easily sight it and try as much as possible to minimize it. In this match, you can’t even tell what the risk is and how to avoid it earlier. This match is still very unpredictable and should not be a match to be direct on which team to win. I would give both team a win in their respective home games and the winner will be determined by who was able to score more goals at their home without the other opponent relinquishing it with their own goals at their home. This match continues to be the most speculated match in the champions league and this is because it’s a match between two great teams in Europe.

I am not expecting any wonders from Bayern Munich in their contest against Arsenal in the Champions League. Because if you look at the performance of Arsenal in their domestic league, you can still attest to the fact that Arsenal is in good standing and their performances are up to par for any analyst who is putting all these games into analytics.

But flip page, if you look at Bayern Munich, especially in the last match that they played, you will only be disappointed from them. And that kind of outing can give you a negative vibe which would extend to you thinking or concluding that they will not be able to stand Arsenal in their quarter-finals.

So I am not really expecting any magic from Bayern Munich or anything spectacular. But it goes to show that they need to tighten their belt because they've almost lost it as their league and they shouldn't afford to lose it too in the Champions League.

Manchester City is the best team in the world currently, while Real Madrid is also the best team in the Champions League history because they hold the record of the highest title holders more than any other team.

Manchester City’s chance of winning Premier League after their yesterday’s match against Arsenal is not certain for now because they remain the third positions in the League, because of this, they will
Do their best to see if they can win the Champions League again this season, while Madrid will also want to do some revenge on what City did to them last season.
Nevertheless, all the two teams have hope of qualifying to the next round, if I will bet this game, I will predict both team to score in the two legs and wait for the lucky team to qualify.

We all have enjoyed Jude Bellingham great play and he inspires a lot of good football however in the Champions League game,in this season they,Real Madrid have left in me a very bad football play,taste and to me it was the most ugly football I have ever seen Real Madrid playing,I have said it many other times but I will say for many more times to come and that was the game Real vs Leipzig which is anti football being played and not real football.So based on this let me tell you or anyone who fancy a real advance for the next round that this is absolutely totally impossible if they keep playing like they did against Leipzig,I think City will make short of work of them very soon.

I might just mess around and put big money on Manchester City. With their current league results, I believe their odds might increase a little and that is what I'm waiting to see. While City sits 3r on the EPL table, Madrid is topping the La Liga with 8 points and is winning their games.
I just believe Man City will win this game. People try to compare the game with that of Arsenal and point out how Man City couldn't win against Arsenal and other top 6 teams, how are they going to win against Madrid?
First, they need to understand that the Champions League is a different competition from the league. Secondly, Arsenal are shaped to defend very well, something Madrid can't do. If Man City dominate the game against Madrid the way they did to Arsenal they'll score goals.

I admired the outstanding Real Madrid players, more pointing out to Jude Bellingham who have been outstanding and well organized to suit into the top actions this season. He's the most significant player that have high risks of going further this season. Real Madrid vs Manchester City, a game that trends in every sectors of the system. Expects Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti to gives us a real show and I'm certain it will come from bothsides. A game we should all expects the very best performance from both sides as all they clinched for the big winnings.

All Real Madrid fans are optimistic that this season's Real Madrid is more likely to successfully avenge Manchester City, but I personally still think the chances are the same. Real Madrid is definitely the favorite in the home match, while Manchester City will also be the favorite in the home match in the second leg. The results of the first leg may reflect the chances of the second leg, but if Manchester City wins or can hold Real Madrid to a draw in the first leg then Real Madrid will fail again.

I agree that nothing is certain in a match, especially before the match is played. Manchester City is the defending champion, while Real Madrid is the king in the Champions League. Real Madrid won't always be able to win it, in fact this season Real Madrid also has a chance of failing to qualify for the final if they can get to the semifinals.

Real Madrid is the king of Europe and thus, I personally believe that Real Madrid has its own way to fight Manchester City later, and not imitate Arsenal's way against Manchester City. Therefore, any result is still very possible to happen in this match because Real Madrid and Manchester City will also certainly exert everything to get a good result in this match. No matter about Manchester City's difficult competition in the Premier League title race because after all, playing in the Champion League is certainly their target as well to get good results. Therefore, there is always a saying about "make all matches a final match" because then, they will be able to put focus and preparation that remains good in matches like this.

I agree with you, Real Madrid have players that can score from anywhere, and their goals is not centered on just a player, but any of their players can score. The moment Haaland, and Foden is held down, there would be no goal for Manchester city. We saw how Haaland was marked against Arsenal game, and he could not do anything, likewise Foden. Manchester City is not as strong as last season, but I can tell you that Real Madrid is better than last season. This is because Ancelotti learned his lesson last season, and as Benzema left the club, he decided to work on the players to make sure that scoring of goals does not depend on just one players. This is what have taken them this far, even when some players have injury, Ancelotti still manage the available ones to make sure that they win their matches or end up in a draw at least. Personally, I think Real Madrid would always be who they are when it comes to the champions league, because they are the only ones that have made history with it. Also every season the UCL trophy is always their target.

With that experience, Real Madrid will be difficult to beat especially in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu they have confidence playing at home will appear confident, even though Manchester City is not an easy opponent but I think it will be a little difficult by Pep Guardioa despite having clever tactics, this is just my own guess where Real Madrid might win.

Regarding betting, there is definitely a risk, especially the odds above 2.00 so that both teams have the opportunity to win because they are both great teams in the champions league, but it would be very possible if at home will bet on Real Madrid for the second leg to bet on Manchester City because it will be a tough match for the host.

Indeed. Real Madrid is the most winner of UCL trophy, they are leading the winning in UCL. We also don't forget that Real Madrid often have a good luck in UCL, they even won UCL in injury time. However, this is something that never guarantees the win, it is just an old story of Real Madrid. The current squad is also no longer the same as previous squad. So, we can't determine the win for the next match according to the previous stats or history.

Sure, Real Madrid will never feel afraid against Man City. They have no reasons to be afraid although Man City is the defending champion. Even if Man City has Guardiola as a smart coach, Real Madrid also has Ancelotti as a very experienced and brilliant coach. We also must realize that Real Madrid also has great squad, they surely have the chance to beat Man City.

Yep. Just bet on what we believe in!
Sure, we must consider that a home match will always has the advantage. So, both Real Madrid and Man City probably win the home match. However, it is just a theory, we don't know how they play in the next match. It can be unpredictable or beyond our expectation.

You should not forget that Real Madrid has more experience in the Champions League than Manchester City, so I don't see Real Madrid being afraid of Manchester City's status as defending champions for the upcoming match. Manchester City have weaknesses at the back, they are also less reliable in attack, but they are dangerous because Pep Guardiola is a tactically astute coach.

If you believe Manchester City can win the first leg, then bet on them winning. But don't be disappointed if in reality you have to get Real Madrid as the winner in their home match, that's what I believe so far. Regarding risks, everything is risky and of course you have to minimize it as best as possible.

It was a wise decision to stay at Leverkusen because when Xabi Alonso chose to look for a new challenge in a new team, he could not guarantee that he would be as successful as at Bayern Leverkusen.
Then, Xabi's decision to stay put a stop to the practice that often circulated when clubs with lots of money could bring in a coach like Xabi Alonso.
Alonso also received the assessment that he is not a coach who is easily tempted by offers of big money.

This season he has been very successful. We'll see how it performs. This season he will be successful in the Bundesliga, but he will not necessarily be successful in a competition like the European League which still has strong teams like our favorite team, Liverpool, the former club that Xabi once played for.
