Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world right now if not the best. So an experienced club like Manchester City with an experienced manager like Pep Guardiola would not even dare to underestimate a club like Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola once said in an interview that Real Madrid is the team he is most scared to face in the Uefa Champions League because they never give up. They got that mentality in them. So even thinking that Manchester City will be underestimating Real Madrid is pretty silly and funny.

From the start when in the Champions League which has entered a more intense phase it would be ridiculous when there is still one club that underestimates its opponent because it will only make them lose momentum and lose the match because they are too demeaning a club that is being fought against. Likewise for now in the quarter-finals because looking at what is happening right now where the consistency and status of the club and the probability that Madrid has then it is ridiculous when Manchester City underestimates a club like Madrid.
Although we know that last season in the second leg of the semi-final at Etihad stadium must have given Manchester City a good confidence but still it is not a valid reason to consider the current match easy and underestimate Madrid just because of the previous h2h.

Manchester City's momentum is still very much there because they are also defending but there could indeed be a difference where Madrid wins. I think this will be very interesting because seeing the condition of the two clubs now especially in 3 consecutive seasons always meeting in the Champions League then surely this provides a big sensation in a match of 2 giants in their respective domestic leagues.

This match was a semi-final like a final match. Real Madrid and Manchester City are the top teams in the Champions League and both teams have great players. Real Madrid is the master of the Champions League and there is no other team that is an exception. It will be a great battle between two exceptional coaches, Ancellotti and Guardiola, with their players.

The better team will win. There are many variables this year, we will see which one will make the difference for both teams in this semi-final match.

We all hope that the match between Madrid and Manchester can happen in the final, but It turns out that both teams must repeat it again as well as An act of revenge for Madrid for their defeat last season which was also in the 2023 semifinals, both teams we can say playing in the final too early because It Is the quality of the teams owned by both of them, i think with the quality and balance of the squad they have, of course the match will be very exciting and fierce and maybe the second leg will be the determination for both teams to qualify or not for the Semifinals.

Both teams currently have good squad depth and have the same sharp attack including their two wingers who can destroy the Opponent' defense at any time, and that's why I think for the match the coach's tactics and strategy will be one of the factors to determine who will win the match, It will be a life-and-death match for both teams and of course the coaches will field their best squad in the match and for sure we will see how the two best teams and two best coaches that exist today destroy each other to become the best in Europe.

I agree with you that home matches will decide which team we see in the semi-finals. In the previous season, the Madrid team did not play well in the home match against Manchester City. The match was a 1-1 draw. And in the away match, Madrid lost by a huge margin of 4-0. In 2022, Madrid lost the awya match 4–3, but they made a great comeback in the home match and qualified for the final by winning the match 3–1. The team that performed well in the home matches of the previous two seasons qualified for the finals.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are strong teams. The bonding between the players is strong and their coaches are very experienced. So it is impossible to predict now which team will qualify for the semi-finals.

but that cannot be a benchmark for predictions that we will make because we will remember that there are a lot of changes every season and sometimes there are unexpected surprises even though everyone says away or home matches are the main cause of a team qualifying for the next round but in my opinion everyone It depends on the condition of the players and also depends on the strategy that each coach has.
It is indeed very difficult to determine who will qualify even though Man City and Madrid have met several times in the UCL, but the final result is still a mystery that is difficult to solve.
all I see right now is that Man City still has big ambitions after last season's success in beating Madrid, of course this season will also do the same, while Real Madrid is a popular team that holds the most titles in the UCL so good experiences or bad experiences can be an encouragement to can improve strategy or performance to qualify for the next round and on the one hand I know for sure that Ancelotti already knows Man City weaknesses so the match will be very fierce.
In the end, we will all only support our favorite teams because both teams have the same chance of qualifying.

It is not typical of City to underestimate a club that has won many titles in the UCL. Madrid is the current king of the UCL, it would be a big mistake if City were too overconfident in this match. I think, Pep Guardiola also really understands how Madrid plays the strengeth and weakness, and what he needs to do is keep his playing strategy on the field running well. This is the Quarter-Final round, there is no way City can underestimate Madrid.

I wonder, which team can underestimate Real Madrid?
Do you believe that there are teams that underestimate Real Madrid, especially about this is the knockout phase of the Champions League and of course every team will consider their opponents to be tough opponents in this round. Therefore, it doesn't seem right if you think or assume that Manchester City underestimates Real Madrid, it's very funny. After all, basically Manchester City and Real Madrid are also big teams but it is clear that Real Madrid is superior because Real Madrid have won many Champions League trophies. But the point is, every team that passes to the knockout phase like that of course every team will use all their abilities of course to be able to qualify for the next phase, and of course every team will not be able to underestimate the opposing team.

Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world right now if not the best. So an experienced club like Manchester City with an experienced manager like Pep Guardiola would not even dare to underestimate a club like Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola once said in an interview that Real Madrid is the team he is most scared to face in the Uefa Champions League because they never give up. They got that mentality in them. So even thinking that Manchester City will be underestimating Real Madrid is pretty silly and funny.

It was only an assumption from the fans, despite the fact that no one underestimates Real Madrid even pep consider real madrid as the strongest opponent in UCL now. We can't deny that City won convincingly against Madrid last season and it may be building the trust to the manchester city to beat madrid. There have been some changes at Real Madrid, but the majority of the players remain the same, we have bellingham and joselu which were coming to the club.

Talking about the chance to win the game, I prefer Hodl City. The current state of the city is still slightly higher than that of Real Madrid, as the city returns with nearly the same squad as last season. Changes occurred in some positions, such as Gundogan, who has joined Barcelona and doki which is now as a new winger for the club.
I believe this is only the opinion of fans who underestimate Real Madrid, but City is still favored to win the game given their results from last season, and they are all playing with nearly the same squad as last season.

You are right, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two favorites in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately they had to meet too soon in the quarter-finals. I was basically expecting Manchester City to play Real Madrid in the semi-finals, but that never really came true.

Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg, while Manchester City will have it in the second leg. Manchester City already have experience beating Real Madrid, but they will never be able to do the same thing every season if Ancelotti has learned enough from his mistakes last season. I would certainly expect the opposite, I mean Manchester City must can beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this season.

Yes, I also agree with you. Both Man City and Real Madrid are in top form. In a narrow lane, Real Madrid and Man City faced each other again for the fourth consecutive season in the Champions League. The rematch between Real Madrid and Man City in the quarterfinals of this year's Champions League promises to continue to be a tense match. Man City will continue to defeat Real Madrid this season. In terms of player quality, Man City is still better. Although the talents of the two coaches are equal. Real Madrid can only be firm when they get the final piece of the puzzle, Kylian Mbappé. Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

Real Madrid is in good condition because they have perfect squad with all their mainstay players who have succeeded in enabling Real Madrid to achieve many wins in the previous few matches.
But on the other hand, Manchester City is also in very possible condition to beat Real Madrid because they have squad that really cannot be underestimated and Manchester City is really focusing on preparations for the quarter-final match later.
Hopefully, in the next almost 4 weeks before the match takes place, Manchester City will not have any problems that could harm them, such as players getting injured, because the first leg match is big opportunity for Manchester City to win by landslide.
Pep must be more careful in positioning his players for Premier League matches and he must be able to look after all the key players to avoid injury problems.

Real Madrid might be able to have additional performance with Mbappe but that will happen next season and this season they will only be the same as last season when they lost badly on the road to Manchester City.
I think the results of last season matches could happen again for this season quarter final.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are undoubtedly each other's tough opponents and neither team is behind in any aspect. Just as Manchester City can beat Real Madrid, Real Madrid can beat Manchester City, but the difference between these two teams is their home match. If a team can't do well at their home ground or can't win by a large margin, it will be difficult in their away match, so both teams will definitely give the most importance to their home ground match. Last season we saw that Real Madrid failed to perform well in their home matches due to which they performed worse when they went to Manchester City ground and this was the reason for their big defeat by Real Madrid against Manchester City last season.

Correct. Real Madrid this season has appeared very impressive and several of the players they have brought in have also had a big influence on Real Madrid's current game. So it would be wrong to think that Real Madrid is still like last season, because this season Real Madrid is getting stronger. Indeed, Man City this season has high self-confidence because last season they managed to humiliate Real Madrid. It's not wrong because self-confidence is the key to beating them, but Real Madrid is still Real Madrid, especially in the Champions League!

In Champions League, Real Madrid are the all time champions and in most of seasons, they are considered as one of most favorite candidates for title. This season, they are playing well, showing their strength so it makes sense to consider their position like that, and it is not only based on their club reputation and past success in Champions League.

Quote

Moreover, Man City has not appeared impressive compared to last season. Pep Guardiola has to do something. Man City must forget last season's match. Since this is Real Madrid in the UCL, you should not underestimate them.

Manchester City still play well but in this season, they have less contributions from three players, Haaland, De Bruyne and Grealish. They were all important for their three titles include Champions League last season. What's going on with Grealish is so strange as he nearly disappear from their squad this season. Many injuries and when he had chances to play, he did not perform well.

However, Manchester City have a deep squad and this season, they have a best ever Phil Foden and this player will be an important piece in any tactical plan of Pep Guardiola in two matches with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have dominated Europe without kylian mbappé, so even if he comes into Madrid, it's to just help and improve on the already existing structure Madrid have, even in the absence of Ronaldo and benzema they've been outstanding in their performance, currently they are in top gear both in the champions League and their domestic league, sitting at the top of the table with 72 points, and are likely will be the title winners. I know the game between them and Manchester city is always a tough one, but with the current statistics, they are in a better position to win Manchester city.

I do agree that if he joins then they are going to keep on dominating. We are still yet to see what will happen with City, because last year they lost but to be fair we have seen City to win it all, they were treble winners and that's important.

But, we need to remember that we are going to end up with maybe City winning or maybe Madrid will win. What matters however is that Real could be a lot better with Mbappe on the squad next season, nothing is guaranteed at the moment but we can see that they are going to be pretty good and we are going to see them do pretty well. This is why I think this move will change the power dynamics of the whole world and put Real at the top for a long time, they will dominate the whole world.

Here against Dortmund I can just say it should be easier for Atletico Madrid. I don't underestimate Dortmund like they would lose by an embarrassing score or so. I just think they don't have as much strength as Inter to resist Atletico Madrid and even eliminate them. Sad

I hope so, but we'll see how good Atletico Madrid's performance is soon. Hopefully, some improvements will happen then. I don't underestimate Dortmund, but this can be a tougher game for Atletico Madrid, especially if reaching the semi-final becomes the main motivation, which could improve the club's performance.
Atletico Madrid must if it needs to win the first leg. No key players are injured here, and Atletico Madrid could get a golden opportunity to defeat Dortmund.

Now we are in quarterfinals of the Champions League 2024 with all top teams are having same level of the quality and performance into their respective leagues currently Atlético Madrid is also facing same level challenge as we have for the Borussia Dortmund but as performance is surely concern for the Atlético Madrid because things are not going as we needed for them, and they were lucky enough against Inter Milan to win and have spot into this round with now they have to give their best if they wanted another success with Borussia Dortmund is surely also try his best for having better end after poor start of this season even their promotion into knockout rounds after staying into group of death is impressive, but now it's all about tough challenging performance on match day is more important.

Yes, I think the two men were not too angry to face the match because both of them already knew what plans would be applied in order to achieve victory to qualify for the semifinals. Don Carlo and Pep have met each other before and both are very experienced figures, they are also very familiar with perfect achievements in the Champions League.

The meeting of Manchester City and Real Madrid in this edition will be far more interesting, because the two teams have made an overhaul on their respective squads. But apart from anything else, I am more focused on wanting to see two superstar figures at this time, Haaland and Belllingham. The two great young men will be awaited by his briliant action to pass their respective teams.

Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola have familiarity with high-stakes matches like this one. Their track records in the Champions League speak for themselves, and they will surely have strategic plans in place to win and advance to the semifinals. The matchup between Manchester City and Real Madrid promises to be captivating, This injection of new talent adds an extra intrigue to the encounter, because fans eagerly anticipate seeing how these changes will impact the dynamic of the game.

Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham will surely catch the biggest attention. Both players have been making waves in the football world with their exceptional skill and performances, and their contributions to their respective teams could prove decisive in the outcome of the match. This clash will be thrilling on multiple fronts, and the spotlight on Haaland and Bellingham adds an extra element of anticipation and excitement for fans. Their performances on the pitch are sure to be watched closely.

precisely, Real Madrid has a big big experience of the Champions League and also its coach, Carlo Ancellotti has gained a lot of experience in this competition with Milan AC, by combining these two entities a crazy mix comes out, they are very strong, nothing to say about it

When it comes to Real Madrid titles, there's no beating them as they've had it all in European competitions, especially the UCL.
Last but not least, Pep Guardiola has a lot of experience in the Champions League with Bayern Munich, then Barcelona who has won the trophy now with Manchester City, so combining those experiences will be interesting.
It could be a battle of strategy and tactics now that both coaches have equally great teams, I believe Real Madrid can win and Manchester City can win because they beat them last season.

It is true that real Madrid has a wide range of experience with the UEFA champions league competition. They are just the giants of European competition, but when it comes to experience the current squads of real Madrid don't have much more experience in the UEFA champions league without a few players. Carlos Ancelotti has gained a lot of experience in UCL competition at AC Milan or Real Madrid despite as comparison between the two coaches, As much experience as Pep has gained in Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, he is the strongest because he has gained experience in big clubs. with UCL competition.

So now the point is that whichever coach has a good squad, definitely he would be the winner. Whether it is Carlos Angelotti's team Real Madrid or Pep's team Manchester City. The match will be dominated by the player whose player can perform better. Manager's experience is 40% and 60% is player effort. If that is the reason, the one who shows better progress will be the winner in Manchester City vs. Real Madrid.

It will be a great battle between two exceptional coaches, Ancellotti and Guardiola, with their players.

The better team will win. There are many variables this year, we will see which one will make the difference for both teams in this semi-final match.

The match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City will be seen as a fake final match featuring the two best teams for this season. Both teams have quality players in each line so their match in the next meeting will be quite difficult to predict. Even though last season Manchester City were champions and it could be that their progress this season will be stopped by Real Madrid and vice versa, Manchester City could bury Real Madrid's hopes this season if Pep Guardiola's troops manage to beat them.

I admit that these two teams have a lot of fans all over the world, so it's no doubt that the tension in the game will be quite hot and will probably be accompanied by lots of yellow cards. I want to see Kevin De Bruyne show himself as the best player in this match because I really like his character and the way he plays. For that reason, I want to see that these two teams can play all their main players without anyone being absent or injured.

Well, the uefa Champions league never cares about the better teams, instead it worries about the team that can score the most goals, as the team with most goals becomes the one to proceeed to the next round of the champions league

Will Madrid fire and score a lot against shaky Manchester city team this season?
Will Manchester city repeat an excellent performance against Real Madrid ?

Will there be lots of goals ?

Real Madrid might be able to have additional performance with Mbappe but that will happen next season and this season they will only be the same as last season when they lost badly on the road to Manchester City.
I think the results of last season matches could happen again for this season quarter final.

Both teams have strong squads and are focused on preparing for the quarter-final. Injuries can be a significant factor in any match, so it's crucial for both teams to manage their players workload and pyhsical stress and avoid any unnecessary risks. Manchester City will need to be particularly careful, as any injuries to key players could significantly impact their chances of winning while Real Madrid may have some new additions to their squad next season, it's essential to focus on the upcoming match and not look too far ahead. The previous seasons results may provide some insight, but it's a new match with new circumstances, and both teams will need to bring their best to get in the next round.

This match was a semi-final like a final match. Real Madrid and Manchester City are the top teams in the Champions League and both teams have great players.

Pep Guardiola and Ancelotti are two of the most accomplished coaches in Europe in the last decade, so I think every match between the two is always interesting to look forward to regardless of which team they coach. Pep Guardiola has a lot of experience in the Champions League, but Ancelotti has been more successful in terms of titles. Maybe that's important to say, but the team's performance this season is much more important in my opinion.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are both good in their domestic competitions, they are also good in the Champions League this season. Both defenses are strong, as is the attacker's goal productivity. However, one thing is worth noting, Manchester City is a team that is able to dominate the match and set the tempo of the game through Pep Guardiola's tactics, that is what occupied Ancelotti's thoughts the most about the match.

Yes, I think the two men were not too angry to face the match because both of them already knew what plans would be applied in order to achieve victory to qualify for the semifinals. Don Carlo and Pep have met each other before and both are very experienced figures, they are also very familiar with perfect achievements in the Champions League.

The meeting of Manchester City and Real Madrid in this edition will be far more interesting, because the two teams have made an overhaul on their respective squads. But apart from anything else, I am more focused on wanting to see two superstar figures at this time, Haaland and Belllingham. The two great young men will be awaited by his briliant action to pass their respective teams.

Last call for players like Modric and Kross in this real Madrid, so they are gonna play this two amtches with all they have remaining in his legs. For me Manchester City still favorite against Real MAdrid, but you know Real MAdrid is the king in this competition and they always can win somehow.

I remember the last game in Etihad, a lot of people forgot the shoot of Kross from long distance if that shot went in we can maybe see a diferent story in that game.

City had a comfortable victory over Madrid last year. Real Madrid's game plan was flawed at the time. But this quarterfinal is an early final. The squad reorganization that started a few years ago is about to complete its transformation. The change started with Valverde, Vinicius Jr, Militao and continued this summer with Tchoumaeni, Bellingham and Arda. Now there is the final straw to put the icing on the cake and the squad is complete.

This time Real Madrid is ready and my favorite in this early final is Real Madrid. Real Madrid are playing better than last year and their squad is ready and they will want to take a rematch of last year from M.City. Real Madrid will win the early final.

It is definitely an early final and last season I was absolutely sure that Real Madrid would not have a chance in those two games against Manchester City. They were able to tie the first game, which was not a surprise. Beating Real Madrid away from home is never easy even when they are not in the best shape. But the second game was the game where Manchester City demonstrated their true power and superiority to Real Madrid.

This time I agree that it is different. Real Madrid has made tremendous progress as a team and they have strengthened their squad. Bellingham of course, but several other players have reached higher levels over the last 9 to 10 months. I am a bit disappointed that this game takes place so early. It means that one amazing team will be out of the competition after the quarterfinals.

There will still be room for revenge because there is no way that Real Madrid would allow Manchester City to win them again. They will like to play with their whole strength to make sure they have a first-leg home win against the Manchester City team that denied them the Champions League trophy last season.

Real Madrid meeting Manchester City next month will make it the 13th time both teams will meet against each other in the Champions League matches. Real Madrid has won 4 times out of the meetings while Manchester City has won 5 couple with 3 draws

Still memorize last match in Champion League how easily Manchester City defeated Real Madrid on second leg match in semifinal round over 4-0 and The Citizen qualified to final after winning aggregate 5-1. I think Real Madrid fans still memorize with the bad moment eliminating in Champion League semifinal last season, its not drastically change with tactical and players composition for this season. I think Manchester City has large opportunity for defeating Real Madrid again when both team have to face early on quarter final round.

Currently, Madrid have not pressure yet in domestic league after having many points gap with the 2nd teams, difference with Manchester City have focus on domestic league and face many crucial matches before facing Real Madrid in Champion League for the first and second legs match, will Manchester City can focus well in domestic league and champion league?

In my opinion, it is because of Ancelotti that Real Madrid lost their match so easy In the first leg, Real Madrid performed very well, and everyone said Madrid would still defeat Guadiola in the second leg, but unfortunately Ancelotti failed to do so, because Madrid players are just playing defending games, is only Vini Jr. playing well, and Militoa, who just came back from injury, you put him in the fast half and beach Rudiga in the game and is the one that performed very well, because he holds Haaland very well, he doesn't get the advantage and score. So now, Ancelotti will not make another error in the match. Real Madrid needs to defeat Manchester City in the first leg so that they will get the advantage of lead when they go to the Etihad Stadium in the second leg.

This is the match that will be most exciting to watch in the Champions League this season. And Bayern Munich vs Arsenal again; it will be difficult if Bayern Munich do not defeat Arsenal this season. But let's see how Arsenal does this time around, as they've made significant improvements.
