Manchester City team was build based on some key players which is why they are always underperforming when they get injured.
This same situation happen last season when both Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne got injured, the team performance went down until they both recovered from injuries, I was expecting Pep Gardiola to have signed a world class replacement for both of them, but he believed in them so much and failed to add more backup to his squad; now it is causing them all these sort of defeats he as a manager never experienced before. With this performance, I don’t think Pep Guardiola and Manchester City will come close to winning the Champions League because we have seen how their performances are in their last four games in all competitions including the Champions League.

It’s too early to judge remembering how good Real Madrid is when it comes to the Champions League football.
I know that Liverpool is in a good form, but you can’t expect Madrid to drop six points in a raw in the Champions League.
However, I am not saying that Liverpool is not capable of winning Madrid, but I am predicting a draw since the game will played at Anfield.

After both securing qualification to the quarter-finals from Group 2 of the UEFA National, Italy and France, will meet again on Sunday tomorrow in Milan, in the final round of the group stage.

While Italy continued their unbeaten run to stay top of Group 2 in Tier 1, after beating Belgium in midweek, the Blues drew at home to stay second and now need a two-goal win to take top spot. The two teams have a long history of head-to-head meetings, most notably in the Euro 2000 final, when France won 2-1 after extra time, and the 2006 World Cup final, when they won on penalties.

It is too soon to say that the season will end badly for Manchester City. Though they might have problems now, like inconsistent results or injuries to a couple of most important players, the season is still long and this team can easily recover. Don't forget that the winter break is coming soon,, which means that they can bring new players to strengthen the team if they need to win more trophies.

Pep Guardiola is known as a coach who is able to make significant changes in the middle of the seasonf. Knowing him, experience, and strategy make it more than probable for him to find a way out of this situation. Moreover, the Citizens still have very good chances in different tournaments, especially the English championship and the Champions League. With the players he has at his disposal, they can return to winning ways at any moment.

Indeed, every team goes through a difficult period in a season, but that is no guarantee that they won't come back.

Obviously, to win a trophy when many key players are injured will make it difficult for the team to get good results. So, it may be true, that this season Manchester City may not win any trophy, although Manchester City is still the favorite team but in reality they are having problems with their performance. Thus,although Manchester City still has a chance to go further but still,  to win the trophy requires a good squad and performance throughout the season. Indeed, I also realize that Pep Guardiola is an expert in improving team performance, but for the Champions League this season it seems like it will be difficult  for Manchester City.

Real Madrid often come out to win when they are not favorites in certain matches, but maybe you are right that this season the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid will be won by Liverpool considering Real Madrid's performance is not good. Liverpool's performance so far is very good to challenge any opponent, after all, this is a home game they have to win instead of losing points.

I tend to believe Liverpool can secure a home win this season against Real Madrid, of course this is only because the two teams' performances are different. However, Real Madrid is a good team to hope for considering the depth of its squad, the results could be different from what we imagine today.

We can’t come to a conclusion on this so soon. Manchester City inconsistent performance can not be said to be the end of their performance for this season and won’t be able to do much to win any league or trophy this season. They still have a lot of time this season to improve their performance and stand the chance for any trophy they wish to fight for. They’re still amongst the potential teams for the premier league and also has a chance in the champions league even though their position in the champion league standing is not given for now. They may be facing one of their worst moments now this season and if they’re not able to make the best out of their current situation and allow it to continue in this manner, they may end up finishing the season with the worst result after having a great season last year and also the year before it.

Looking at the strength of both teams at this time, it is clear that Madrid is not advantaged by its players who have to be absent due to injury. On the other hand, Liverpool has a fairly good probability and is still consistent so far on the right track. This is interesting from our perspective as neutral supporters, that both teams are trying to show their best performance. For The Red supporters, they certainly want their favorite team, Liverpool, to win the match against Madrid at Anfield. In the Madrid camp, this situation is not pleasant for the club and of course Carlo Ancelotti. Even though some of its core players have to sit out due to injury, Madrid still has players who can score goals against Liverpool. Of course we will not doubt that when Vini Jr plays on fire, he can break through the opponent's goal with several goals from his individual actions. Well, this is one of Real Madrid's advantages. The rest, Don Carlo must find a solution to replace the injured players. Either by rotation, or he plays some of Madrid's young players. Based on betting odds, Liverpool is slightly more favored. However, the odds for the time being do not show a gap between the two teams. which means, even though Madrid's performance is off track and some of their players are injured, Madrid still has a chance, especially since they need full points. This is interesting, at least for me from the side of both teams.

There are as many signs that Manchester will not win the Champions League as there are signs that they will in fact win the trophy. The mini crisis they are going through has literally zero impact on the outcome in the Champions League. Everyone knows that the team is still among the best in the world. Having a losing streak doesn't change the fact that there 11 players on the field able to beat any team in the world and for as long as that is the case, they have as much a chance to win it as any other team of that quality.

There's no sign to show that Manchester City is capable of winning UCL or to be on the finals this season. The team is facing hard times due to injuries, and the bad part of it is that in UCL any club can take advantage of your weakness for easy step up to the next level.

What Pep needs to focus on currently, is how he can manage the other players that he has so that more don't get injured, if not it will be a disaster to the club. I don't see Manchester City winning their domestic league this season, because Rodri injury put him out of the season.

Obviously Liverpool will be favored because of the slick performance of the game now, while Real Madrid is experiencing bad luck because of several defeats so I see the odds of the bookies quite far.

But in this match it looks like Real Madrid will try hard not to lose, at least a draw is still possible because they have lost a lot of points in the Champions League, but we know Liverpool now have a great squad now.

I haven't seen all the betting markets for this match, but have you seen the odds of both teams scoring? It looks like in this game they could score, I'd probably guess it's under 1.50.

I believe Man City will still be one of the candidates for the Champions League. We can see the situation will start to improve for them. Some bad performances must be resolved soon. Pep will always have a way to win the game. The Champions League is one of the titles that will be Man City's target this season. They have not lost their chance even though their rival Liverpool is currently in great form. We will see until the first round is over.

Honestly, the results that Manchester City has gotten recently are very bad, and that shows their performances have dropped seriously. Nobody ever expected this kind of drop in performance from Manchester City based on the quality players they have and the manager.

Some people are saying that Manchester City's performance has decreased significantly because Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri have been absent recently from the squad due to injury. However, even with that, I didn’t expect Manchester City’s performances to drop like this. Seriously, I expected a big team like Manchester City to always have replacement players for any of their players who get injured.at this moment, with Manchester City’s performances, I can say that they are still the favorite team to win the Champions League or at least reach the final. If they quickly get back to their form, it may be possible, but I can’t say that for now based on their current form.

I also have the same opinion, choosing Liverpool in the betting slip can be said to be a wise decision in my opinion, but that does not mean that Real Madrid is not favored, but because the condition of Arne Slot's team is more stable when compared to Ancelotti's team, making Liverpool look a little promising to win.

And regarding over 2.5, it is also worth considering because no matter what they are a big team that can score goals in various positions, I think 2-1 or maybe 3-2 the final result could happen or it could also end in a draw.

Madrid have a strong history of facing pressure and often come out victorious, especially in the UCL, the experience of their players in high-pressure situations and also the experience of coaches like Ancelotti is of course a great asset for them to be able to rise, but we cannot deny that Liverpool are currently in their best form and the ambition to be able to compete as a UCL challenger will motivate them in the match,  I'm pretty sure we'll see a fierce and balanced match happen later if Madrid are able to improve their attacking and defensive line at the moment, but if, then I think we will have an easy match for Liverpool, because the balance of their squad is still better than Madrid both offensively and defensively this season.

Let's see how Ancelotti will improve his team's performance in the Champions League. we often see how Madrid players give surprises in their matches. if Madrid is unlucky not to qualify for the next round automatically, then the play-off match could be the solution.
I do not doubt Marid's ability, they are very strong and there are still several matches that can change the situation in the standings. hopefully the situation is on their side.

This season Real Madrid performances look so quite in the champion league, with way Real Madrid make an powerful performances in the champion league last season Nobobdy expect that they can perform very poorly this season, but indeed there unable to perform well this season even some of their opponent they know that strong are defeated Real Madrid. But at some i didn't blame since although is because of some of their players that want to injuries which is why there not able to perform well all this while.

Furthermore, but this there upcoming match I'm also having much confidence on them that they try as much as possible to bring out a positive results against the team, since although that the team their facing next are know that strong that's why I'm having some hope for them that they will try to put much and win there upcoming match.

In that match, Real Madrid was indeed a bit hesitant to be favored to win because of the condition of Real Madrid itself at this time. In addition, from the level of team cohesion that Liverpool has, it is also still clear that Liverpool is still the best team that is quite strong at this time so that it will make Ancelotti a little dizzy in arranging the players they have because currently Real Madrid still has several injured players and that could be an obstacle for Real Madrid to be able to play well enough at Liverpool's home in the next match in the Champions League this season.

Manchester City are currently going through their bad times in the season and their performance is not as expected from them when playing from both leagues competition they’re participating in. They have a lot on them to do if they want to be champions or even make it to the finals of the champions league competition. They have a lot of potential in them, but they seem to have lost focus and many teams have also known there weak point and also using that to their own advantage to beat them in their matches. Many of the big teams one can envision for the champions league title are currently playing poorly, we may know with time if they can make it to the finals of the competition as the league progresses to the second round.


Real Madrid may be facing hard times in the champions league competition but I haven’t seen them that weak to the extent that they can’t win their upcoming match against slot boys. These moments are times they really need to take advantage on to help settle for the losses they’ve incurred earlier in the competition. Even with their second tier team, I don’t see this team having a chance on them. Injuries may affect their performance in the field, but they’re still better, stronger and more qualified than their opponent.

I think Madrid will come big in this match because they seriously need the match to actually make the top 8 of the competition and qualify automatically to the round of 16. A loss in this game will mean they will have to go through the playoffs and that is a longer route which might be tricky for them consider how slim there squad is reduce to now. Liverpool have a perfect record in the competition but that doesn’t make them unbeatable, Real Madrid in there days will beat any of these clubs but they are currently facing adaptation problem which from their last game against Laliga side Osasuna the team did show some improvement in their performances not only the because of the winning but the way they played together which is the most import thing

As for Mbappe actually not been performing well and Carlo Ancelloti calling him out that is definitely not true because the player has been in good relationship with the head coach and Carlo Ancelloti isn’t a manager that calls out a player due to performances or sort of that so this rumors are fake

Manchester City might not be able to win the Champions League this season. Manchester City has undeniably lost its two most important players, with Kevin De Bruyne struggling with inconsistency due to injuries and also Rodri being out of the season due to injuries,

Manchester City are gradually becoming a shadow of their former selves this season. Their recent dip in form and current recent injury struggles has really affected them from maintaining their usually dominance. I don't think Manchester City can really call themselves title favourites this season.
