And I believe that Bayern and PSG also have a good chance of becoming champions, this match attracts so much attention because these are one of the strongest teams, that remain in the Champions League, but we should not forget about everyone else, and say that the winner is between City and Real will definitely become a champion.
I probably wanted Mbappe to win this Champions League with PSG, even if he didn’t want to stay in the team after that, but it would have been great, and maybe in the end he would have changed his mind. And regarding Bayern, I am also very optimistic, although they did not have the best season in the Bundesliga, they remain a strong team with a lot of experience in the Champions League.

Because Manchester City or Real Madrid will qualify for the semifinals, so if you believe one of these clubs will win the trophy, then you can still choose Manchester City or Real Madrid who will be successful this season. After all, you also think that other teams not have the quality to win a trophy and if that's the case, then of course you will be more confident in choosing the team that passes the match between Manchester City v Real Madrid. But for me personally, eventhough other teams don't really have a great history in the Champions League but still, there will always be moments for teams that are not seeded to win trophies. Because after all, the Champions League is the most prestigious league andtherefore, all the teams that make it through to this phase will of course do their best, so that any result can happen and it's not always about Real Madrid or Manchester City.

Exactly, this was what made last season unique, because City have never won UCL in their whole life, but winning it last season gave everyone a different picture of it, and that has also brought hope to clubs that have not won it before that they can also win the champions league.

However, it is a club that is the strongest amongst the rest that will definitely win the champions league. This is why most people are looking up to these two clubs Real Madrid and Manchester city to be the winner, as they are the strongest in the competition. As nature wants it, these two clubs are clashing in the quarter finals, which means one of them must. E eliminated out of the competition for us to see a different club in the finals.

what you say is true, they are two excellent coaches, nothing to say about it: they are two esteemed professionals and their results speak for themselves

- we have on the one hand the classic Carlo Ancelotti, heir to the AC Milan lineage who has a classic way of playing
- on the other hand we have Pep Guardiola, a talented young man with different ideas and a very friendly way of managing players

they are two different concepts of coaching but very effective, I honestly like Carlo more, because he is Italian and because he uses a classic coaching system

But man sadly the battle is between Manchester City and Real Madrid, because the other teams show nothing compared to this two, Bayern? is worst than othr Bayerns, Arsenal? an always pussy team, Dormutnd? No chance, PSG? by far worst than last season, Barcelona? a joke, Atletico Madrid, maybe because they are strong on H2H but they are playing quite bad.

Yes, the Champions League match should not only focus on discussing the Real Madrid and Manchester City matches, indeed these two teams are strong candidates to win the Champions League this season but unfortunately they had to knock each other out in the quarter-finals.

I think some football fans, especially in the Champions League, don't want teams that have won in several editions to no longer be champions the following year. I think it's very natural that some people want it like that because it could be that the birth of a new champion will make the Champions League competition look more competitive with each edition.

You guys are making the Champions League look like the battle is only between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Wasn't Real Madrid kick out last season in the quarter final and yet a lot of people turn up for Inter, In fact a lot of people didn't want Manchester City to win, they want Inter to win so they can shade Manchester City because they feel City has won a lot and deserved to allow another team to win the Champions League and to say that Inter tried their best because they only conceded a single goal after many short on targets by Manchester City.

If Arsenal make it to the Champions League final, a lot of folks are going to turn up more than any of them because for a club that don't use to he consider as one of the best suddenly became an asset and then made a huge place in the Champions League is something many would want to see the end. I am not confidence in them but who knows if football is going to happen.

And this will make the competition more tough because both teams are going to try very hard for the advancement of the final stage. However, it is not a big deal that they fixed the match like this. I think it makes more sense because in this stage of the quarterfinal, we will know who will qualify for the final, and from here we will know who will win the title this season since Bayern Munich and Arsenal are the ones that they are going to be playing with after they also play their match against each other.

But to me, if Real Madrid qualify for the final stage against Manchester City, there will be a problem if Arsenal qualifies because I don't think Real Madrid are stronger than Arsenal, and normally Arsenal is trying to see that they win the Champions League title this season, and they don't want to do the same thing they did last season, so for me, only when Manchester City qualify for the final stage will I stop putting hope in Arsenal winning the title, and even then, if I see that Arsenal performance is okay to concur with Manchester City in the Champions League, I will still continue give them hope in winning the champions league title.

Indeed, we certainly still remember how the match went, which was so fierce and we didn't want to lose. But again, Real Madrid has blood in the Champions League and it will be very difficult for any team to get rid of them. But the placement will be different when Real Madrid will face Manchester City and maybe that could be the end of their journey this season.

We know how Manchester City is the defending champion and the team that can be avoided the most in the early rounds. But Real Madrid has to face it and I think it will be a challenge for Real Madrid to be able to avenge last season's defeat. Victory will definitely belong to Manchester City but the luck factor will be completely in the hands of Real Madrid, I think so far that is the exact picture.

This season Madrid improved very rapidly and even they were able to top the standings with a considerable distance from their rivals in the league, besides the squad improvement they made last season certainly made them stronger than the previous season, besides that of course this season Madrid will not repeat the mistakes they made last season by underestimating Manchester City,  So what you say is true because after all, the current Madrid team is different from last season.

From season to season we see improvements that occur in every big team like Manchester City and Madrid so we should not make the previous match as a benchmark to see who will win in the game later, even in crucial matches like that we often get unexpected surprises and certainly can change the direction of the game of both teams,  Even for now I don't see both teams feeling burdened because indeed the mentality they have in the Champions League makes them very ready to face anyone when the draw was made some time ago, I personally predict both teams will play with an aggregate draw and make the match continue with extra time 15x2 in the second leg later.

Don't worry because only one of them will be eliminated in the final quarter. 
Yes, it's quite annoying to see these two favorite teams always meet early. Last season Manchester City and Real Madrid also met in the semi-finals and only one of them went to the final. Even though I'm sure every season we expect these two teams to be in the final. But in reality, one of them is always eliminated every season. But I personally still think the UCL is very interesting even if one of the two teams is eliminated. But if both of them were eliminated early maybe I would also be a little disappointed.

But actually, even though this season is not finished, I am also starting to see the potential for the UCL next season to be more interesting. because it looks like the representatives from Laliga will be a little different next season. Because maybe Girona will also be there next season in the UCL. And from the Bundesliga we will also see Leverkusen coming to the UCL. Well, this will add to the excitement of the UCL next season. But this season's UCL is no less exciting. Because some unexpected things have happened. Like the elimination of all teams from Italy in the round of 16 and qualifying groups. One thing that was quite disappointing was that the meeting between Manchester City and Real Madrid was too early.

I'm not doubting that the UEFA Champions League will not be interesting if Real Madrid or Manchester City are knocked out in the quarterfinal. The interest in watching the UEFA Champions League will reduce because Real Madrid and Manchester City supporters will not want to watch the UEFA Champions League again when Real Madrid or Manchester City are knocked out.

Whoever wins this match will be the favorite to become champion this season, because the two teams that will meet in the quarter-finals are strong teams and they are indeed the 2 favorite teams in the Champions League this season. But as you said, it could be that things don't go as expected, for example they have to fall one by one before the final match, although that is something that is difficult for us to see.
Yes, we regret that they met earlier in this round, but what we expected could not match what happened because the draw results said something different from what we previously expected. Even so, I hope that whoever is in the final round will be able to show something extraordinary that will make the match very interesting for us to see.

I know that this game will going to be a tough game like last season when Real Madrid and Manchester city met in quarters final to face each other for people to know who is the strongest team in the UEFA champions league competition, but Real Madrid prove it to people by beaten Manchester city 2:1 to moved to semi-final last season.

I guess this is a reason for the two teams to fixed to meet again in this season for the quarter finals and, Real Madrid will still be my favorite team because I know that they will still find their way to ensure they play Manchester city to achieve victory that will lead them to a higher position to win the trophy again.

Slightly disagree with your opinion and I think last season Real Madrid didn't beat Manchester City with a big score but maybe what you mean is in the past meetings between these two clubs.
You say these two clubs have the same performance but I am very sure that Real Madrid will not be able to beat Manchester City anymore on the other hand if you really look deeper and compare the two clubs, Manchester City is much better which has a good performance in every line but look now after Benzema's departure Real Madrid can't have a strong attack line like before.
This season may be the next season that Real Madrid loses its chance to win the Champions League title.

You can see how last season these two clubs competed competitively while Real Madrid competed at home and was unable to get a big score when Manchester City very consistently defended against conceding big goals.
After that, the second leg, when Manchester City was the host of the match, responded with a bigger score and Real Madrid was unable to withstand every attack from Pep Guardiola's strategy.
From this historical experience, maybe you will understand better who the strongest candidate is between Manchester City and Real Madrid.

that is the draw that has been carried out, whether they want it or not, the two favorite teams this season will meet early, whoever is able to win and qualify for the semifinals between Real Madrid and Man City is increasingly favored to be able to win the UCL this season and in my opinion That's quite natural because currently the two teams have slightly better quality than the other teams.

Not only Man City but Real Madrid will also lose several players due to injury and in my opinion it will not have a significant effect because the Real Madrid team or Man City have proven this season that they do not depend on just a few players even if there is player rotation it will not have an effect significant impact on team performance.

Me too, and I'm sure that many people are also feeling the same way you did. I was very disappointed to see that an important match like Madrid vs. City must have happened in the quarter final. I would rather see it as a final match. The match between City and Real Madrid was always becoming very interesting, like last season.
Seeing from the line that could potentially be used by both clubs, I think that City is going to miss a lot of players. Some important players, like Walker and Stones, were injured in the international match against Brazil and Belgium.
The international match has been ruining these clubs caused by many of their players are injured. This the thing that i don't like from international match. It's often in making the players injured.

I was disappointed to see Manchester City and Real Madrid face each other in the quarterfinals because Champions League games will not be as interesting as they were when Manchester City and Real Madrid were still playing. Many people watch Champions League games because of Real Madrid and Manchester City, it appears to be more interesting when they meet in the finals. Now Manchester City and Real Madrid will play in the quarterfinals; I do not want one of these clubs to be eliminated so early since any of them that qualify from the quarterfinals will eventually make it to the final and win the trophy without a strong opponent.

Last season, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals, with the first leg ending in a draw, Manchester City scoring four goals at home in the second leg. After Real Madrid was eliminated, many people did not watch the Champions League final because Inter Milan did not have as many fans as Madrid. Let's see what happens in the quarterfinals, if Real Madrid will revenge what Manchester City did last season.

The first leg and second leg match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is going to be one of the most interesting and competitive matches of this Champions League season. Real Madrid and Manchester City are facing each other in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but it is difficult to say which team will be ahead of which team, but it can be said that both teams will definitely be ahead in their home rounds. Real Madrid will want a big win at their home ground and Manchester City will want a big win at their home ground. As the two teams are tough opponents, any team that makes a mistake will end their Champions League dreams in the quarter-finals. Therefore, no team has a chance to make any kind of mistake in such a big match.

If I had to speak based on statistical data then of course these two clubs, namely Man City and Real Madrid, are two clubs that should deserve to meet in the UCL final. But unfortunately they were unlucky because they had to meet earlier and one of them had to leave UCL in the quarter-finals. Maybe it is true that whichever club wins this match has the potential to win the UCL title this season. But that is if everything can happen based on currently available data, such as data on the performance of these two clubs compared to other teams. It's just that of course we're all used to it, right? Seeing the UCL which is full of surprises and even ordinary teams that don't get much attention can make us surprised because they could be lucky and actually go on to the final and win. So in the final quarter we still see everything unclear. Maybe in the semi-finals we will be able to start predicting which one will succeed as champion in the UCL this season.
