We are going to be having another interesting to watch match between Real Madrid and Manchester City before getting to the finals of this competition just like it happened last season. We are playing another final before the main final because that is what I see this match as. It could be another clash of warriors as it has always been and the winner has the chance of winning the trophy. Real Madrid will come for revenge and Manchester City will be well prepared for another showdown on them in this match. I can’t wait to see this match as I feel it’ll decide the fate and a winner in this tournament.

I believe so much in revenge but most times it doesn't work as planned. I cannot also say that they Real Madrid squad that we have now is better than the one that faced Manchester City last season. I cannot actually explain what actually happened in that match with a Manchester City and Real Madrid. The almighty Real Madrid played like and amateur club, they were not good at any point in time. It was a total mess in their record, but then it is true that they can make it right this time around by staging a revenge. But will it be possible, we are very much aware of that Manchester City squad is fully informed and all the key players are not injured, how possible will Ancelotti and his boys deal with Guardiola and his boys. It is better they play the match and becomes fair than for Manchester City to trash Real Madrid for the second time. We have seen that since Bellingham join Real Madrid, many things changed for good in the club. Will that make the difference?

We all know that Real Madrid is a great team, but when you are there giving other teams credit, remember that other teams are also vying for the same trophy you are pursuing. As a result, the league is becoming more competitive as teams strive to become the best at what they do. Thus, other teams are aiming for the UCL in the same manner as Real Madrid does. Furthermore, it seems that this season is seeing a rise in league competition since Manchester City won the UCL with no fuss, proving that experience isn't always a reliable factor. Furthermore, you ought to be aware that Pep is cooking something because even Bayern Munich isn't playing at its best right now. There aren't many people here with a chance to win that trophy because Barcelona is even worse. Everyone taking part in this time frame needs a lot of things in order to succeed. I'm not afraid whether it's for Manchester City because I always have faith in them.

I didn’t know that Manchester City have a better record against Real Madrid in the champions league competition so far. Real Madrid removed Manchester City from the competition last two season and Manchester City did the same last season to with their first ever Champions League title. The both teams looks very much strong and saying that Real Madrid will be coming for revenge will be an understatement. This is going to be the most important, difficult and most entertaining match to watch this season, far ahead of the final that is going to be okayed in the end. Manchester City will love to add to their good record but Real Madrid will be looking to take a revenge in this game.


That is not a quick ticket for Real Madrid to make it to the final of the competition. All teams have to show their expertise against the other to have a better shot at the next round of the competition. Experience matters though, but to me it doesn’t matter most times as it has to be what you can offer at that moment that will qualify you the next round and be regarded as a better team over your opponent.

It was an unforgettable match for Real Madrid and this season it was like they were reunited with destiny and had to face Manchester City again. I think this could be an opportunity for revenge and maybe Manchester City won't be able to stop Real Madrid. Sometimes defeat teaches important lessons and Real Madrid realized this when last season they were knocked out by Manchester City. They have now cleaned up and will fight to win back the title they have been eating all the time.

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.

They are both equally strong and also both have great coaches so this match is not just about experience but perhaps full of prestige for both teams.
Manchester City, who was named the best team, will definitely try to perform better when facing Real Madrid. According to Pep Guardiola, he really believes that his team will not be afraid to face Real Madrid because we know that Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League.

The Bernabeu Stadium will be the main stage in this team's first meeting and I want to see how strong Manchester City will be when playing at the Bernabeu Stadium. Both teams certainly have quality players in their teams, where in the Real Madrid team we see that Bellingham is very aggressive this season where he scores goals very often and of course he must be the main concern for Manchester City defenders. Likewise with Haaland, he is Manchester City goal machine and of course he must also be guarded closely by the Real Madrid defenders.

Just exactly what I had in mind to say, Real Madrid having Mbappe  in their squad list will increase the reputation as bigger threat even to big team. Kylian has the speed to catch up through passes from Kross or Modric and his even a bit clinical than some Real Madrid strikers. It's now left for the manager to apply much pressure and he won't regret the signing.

Champions league literally comes with a different spirit and kind of mindset such that every team wants to get to the finals because of the prestigious nature of the champions league, it's considered the top elite league across Europe in football so playing in the champions league teams usually do want to exhibit only but excellence and nothing Less even coaches too do have same spirit with champions league.

As a team or Player or even a Coach, it's actually seen a a very great height and achievement attained whenever they get to win the champions league trophy so they literally put in all their best to make sure they get to add this to their portfolio that they have once lifted the champions league trophy and that's why most Coaches in the champions league usees only but their best strategy and make sure they put out only but the best performance and that's the same spirit that can be seen in the Manchester city and Real Madrid team as it regards the champions league.

I would have wished to see them both face each other at the finals but then it happens to be that they are now meeting at this point making it quiet difficult to support a particular team especially for those who aren't fan of either team. Manchester city has always been the team to want to defend the trophy as they want to create history of which Madrid has this record already of winning the trophy twice in a row.

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?

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.

There'll be no time for revenge and all that stuffs, for me personally, let the best side win the game. Too difficult for me to decide but Carlo Ancellotti and his side have no striker and they have been more of a defensive side to a attacking side lately. They have won games but the way they're structured looked awkward.

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola seems like the best option to win this game though. I just don't know how for Manchester City players would be of they come back Injured from the international duties.
Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are also damaging sides who can undo and do. But we shall see how it unfolds.

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

I know that's true, but Ancelotti was helpless last season against Pep Guardiola both home and away. In the Champions League, Ancelotti has won 4 titles, 2 of which were won with Real Madrid and the other 2 with Milan. Pep Guardiola has won 3 titles, 2 of which he won with Barcelona and 1 with Manchester City. The man has ambitions to win the title this season to double his title with Manchester City in two consecutive seasons, but I hope he fails in the quarter-finals this season.

Ancelotti certainly has a way to thwart Pep Guardiola this season in the Champions League, but he can still fail. Jude Bellingham must be the difference in the meeting between these two teams this season and I hope he can have a good impact on REal Madrid's efforts to qualify for the semi-finals. Pep and Ancelotti are two great coaches in the Champions League, as is the team they are currently coaching. So this quarter-final would have been great, it was a final that came too soon for both of them.

Madrid are doing well at the moment even though they don't have a pure striker so I think the reason Madrid are not very good without a pure striker in the squad has been broken by Madrid's good performance this season.
They are still going through matches well not only in the Champions League but also in the domestic league because until now in the domestic league Madrid has only lost once and for the Champions League from the group phase to the quarter-finals this time they haven't even lost once with statistics in 8 matches (including 2 leg round of 16) they managed to win 7 times and 1 draw so there is no reason to think Madrid is still bad without a pure striker.

Facing Manchester City will indeed be very difficult especially with the dark situation they got last season when at Etihad, so there is indeed a burden of its own but on the other hand Madrid if they really want to bring back the trophy then inevitably they must be able to beat Manchester City and hopefully the first leg at the Bernabeu goes well before they finally travel to Etihad stadium in the second leg.

Bayern Munich will not give up hope that a miracle will happen to them, and Leverkusen will also not just give up by letting them lose so that Bayern Munich can take over their position, that is something that is impossible to happen (Leverkusen gives up to get title), because the title is in front of their eyes now, there are only a few matches left before they can lock in the title this season.

I think there will be many people who want to see Leverkusen maintain what they have done so far, yes there will be many people who will expect them to become champions this season and there will also be many people who want to see Leverkusen set their new record without losing in this season. The reason is that it is very difficult to create an unbeaten record for a full season. And I personally don't remember whether anyone in the Bundesliga has ever done this or not, but what I remember is that no team has been able to record this record in the Bundesliga (correct me if I'm wrong). If they manage to do it then that would be amazing.

It's not that fans are underestimating Real Madrid, it's that Manchester City have been incredibly strong for the last few seasons, they are going for broke, if you can call it that. Added to that is the fact that these two teams met last season and Real performed poorly, to put it mildly, getting thrashed, so fans remember it all the time

The impending match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is poised to be an intense battle, with both teams displaying similar levels of performance. It's challenging to predict which team will advance to the next stage, given their current form. Manchester City, despite their formidable record last season, has not been performing at their peak, while Real Madrid's performance has also been lacking due to a shortage of strikers in their squad.

The managers of both teams are eager to secure victory in this season's Champions League, especially the Real Madrid coach, who may potentially depart from the club at the end of the campaign. However, it remains to be seen how they will fare in the first leg of the match. The outcome of this encounter will provide valuable insights into which team possesses the upper hand in the ongoing Champions League competition. The stakes are high, and fans around the world eagerly anticipate witnessing the drama unfold on the pitch as these two footballing giants clash in pursuit of European glory.

but sometimes history can trick us into making predictions.
I mean sometimes a team that has met often in the UCL has a clear history but sometimes it will experience changes in the following season whereas we all know Man City and Real Madrid are big teams and on the one hand these two teams have great coaches and every mistake improvements will be made.
we can see from history that Man City will have a slightly better chance because of the advantage of competing in the second leg at home, but we also have to look at Real Madrid who could give a big score in the first leg like in history that has already passed.
It is difficult to predict both teams but I will still support Madrid to qualify even though it is contrary to reality.

Sure Bayern Munich shouldn’t give up, they have to fight till ending of the season, but you know Bayern Leverkusen is not also going to give up till ending of the season. How do you expect a club that haven’t lose any match since the beginning of the season to lose 4 matches continuously? Bayern Leverkusen is currently in first position, with 10 points ahead of Bayern Munich, I don’t think it will be easy for Bayern Munich to take over the first position from them. If Bayern Leverkusen can lose 4 matches, then am sure Bayern Munich will also be losing some matches, no club will keep on winning all their matches, lose will definitely set in.
