I think people are sleeping on City as well. Sure Real is a team with no joke, but everyone keeps saying that Liverpool is surely in the finals whereas City doesn't look like they won't be either. I believe that we are going to see them in the finals as well. They scored 4 goals on Madrid, not that many teams could do that and it was a great deal when you do that in the semi-finals as well. I believe they could just keep the possession most of the game, close down carefully and end up not getting scored on that easily, or maybe just one goal which they could repay easily with their amazing offence as well.
It's not about sleeping or anything. The fact that there is only one goal that separates the two teams and they will be visiting for leg 2 makes some people enthusiastic about a Real Madrid win. Playing high possession ball game like a tiki-taka style is easier said than done against a team that's good at attacking.

Man City poaued better in the first leg of the game at Etihad stadium
Madrid came back with a good response showing they are Champions of the Champions League but couldn't seal a draw.
See Manchester city will triumph over Los blancos, I hope they don't get parting into their head's.

A very good football analysis will agree that Liverpool is already at the finals but that cannot actually be said of Manchester City. Though both clubs won their first leg, but Manchester City won against Real Madrid which may not be considered as winning, due to the experience of Real Madrid and the hotness of Benzema. Even if the goal difference was more than two, there will still not be a strong conviction that City has scaled through. 1 goal difference is something Vinicius can run and get for Madrid within 15mins of game start.
So, the second leg of Manchester City and Real Madrid is still much open.

As for the Real Madrid v Manchester City match, I have complex opinions about it. Because they both seem to be capable of beating each other in the second leg of the matchup. Real Madrid will have to end the normal time one-goal ahead at least not to be eliminated by them. And it can be a really difficult work to do for them. Because in the first leg, Manchester City were incredibly well. Of course their playing in Etihad helped them mentally at a high rate also. But I think they won't change their game plan in Bernabeu too. I hope to see another unforgettable match.

Have you forgotten that despite the fact that City were good, Real Madrid scored 3 goals?  Roll Eyes
I think that in the second leg Real Madrid will definitely be able to score at least one goal, the only question is how many they will concede and how much they will be able to score more than one goal, since it is not enough to win anyway (if we count the goals in the penalty shootout as goals).

Nothing is impossible in the game of football. Sometimes the team performance is not always in good condition, even though it has been prepared long ago. That also applies to Liverpool, Villareal, Man City, and Real Madrid. Conditions on the ground are difficult to predict. Given that all clubs will give their best, I believe everything is really a quality club. Because of that, they were able to reach the semi-finals with a very extraordinary.
You are right. All the teams that can qualify for the semi-final, are absolutely strong teams. They also are the most consistent teams during the tournament. If they are not quality teams, they must be eliminated already in the previous round. Sure, the situation in the field sometimes is unpredictable, Villareal may not be in a good condition in Leg 1. While in the next Leg (Leg 2), we can expect more, since they will play at home. They may have a better condition while playing in their own field.

I guess both clubs will battle. for the number one winner in the champion league with Manchester City already qualify with a high point and Liverpool, on the other hand, following strongly behind and also lead in the group stage with just a point below Manchester city on the EPL table and repeating a steady energetic football in the last match it shows that the club with definitely play in the finals but winning the championship trophy is what I can not predict right now.

I wouldn't say never wager on Villareal, if you want to do it then its fine, its gambling and anything could happen. However, I would highly suggest that you should do it with a small amount so that when you lose (which is a big possibility) you do not lose a small amount.

What I mean by "small amount" depends on the person, someone who has $100 shouldn't play more than 5 bucks whereas someone with 100 million could wager whatever and would probably fine since even the max would be smaller than what they should wager at max. Liverpool will 99% chance win the game, but that 1% chance is the reason why people may end up wagering on Villareal.

It is almost sure that Liverpool is playing the final of UEFA champions league but which team will be the opponent of Liverpool? In my opinion, Real Madrid will be able to get the ticket of UEFA champions league final because they'll get advantages from their home match. I'm really waiting to watch match between Real Madrid and Manchester City.

With a 2 goal cushion, Liverpool is well a leg into the finals of the ⚽UEFA Champions League for this season. All that Liverpool needs in the second leg of this tie is to manage the game and increase their lead. 2 goal leads are fragile, but trusting Liverpool to be victors. Meanwhile Manchester City and Real Madrid tie is headlocked, who will triumph? Manchester City or Liverpool ?

I think that Liverpool are the one of the obvious finalists now. Because I don't believe that Villarreal can perform a miracle in their home game next time. It is just too difficult to do so against a team like Liverpool. Even a bigger team would have a big difficulty in doing it. Liverpool have a good advantage by two goals and they would secure it in the second leg. However, it is difficult to predict the winner of the other draw. Manchester City already have the advantage of a 4-3 score. But I still feel like Real Madrid might be able to advance to finale too. Both teams to score is a certain thing for this game I think.

Liverpool has won alot they should loose so others can win, Manchester City hasn't won before so let them take for the first time.
Who told you this rule applies?

If Manchester City does not work very hard. They are not winning anything again this UCL season

Manchester city will lock Real Madrid out from their second leg because their coach has introduced more tactics into the team that will make them to defeat Real Madrid 3-0 for the favour of Manchester city. I think Manchester city will be the one to win this season UEFA champion title because Liverpool has won it before, which Manchester city will do everything within their power to win this season UEFA Europa champion league title.
What are you? Prophet Jeremiah?

It's so shocking how some people here think football, moreover Tournaments like Champion's league just come according to one's wishes.

Well , you can't say that , there os no absolute winner in champions league ... the one who lost 4-0 at the first leg could steal the show .. even the one who get lost 3-0 at the first half could make a comeback ... even it's the underdog , just like villareal , despite yeah statistically ... liverpool are much better in every aspects but still this is football , things could went unexpected .

i wish the all england served in final as well , but won't deny that if the underdogs win this one would even more interesting.

True , the all england final seems to be the ideal one.
real madrid might fight back at bernabeu but yeah my prediction pretty much the same as well as yours.. the draw is the best result for real madrid to get , and manchester city getting closer to get their first ever champions league trophy.
~snip~
No, Madrid's second leg will win. So I think the best final is Madrid vs Liverpool.  Madrid have prepared carefully. Even today they faced Espanyol by installing different players and giving some of their core players a break. Although in the second half Benzema and Vinicius Junior still entered the game. Even Benzema scored a goal. Madrid have never won in some UCL games, but their motives tomorrow are different. I'm sure they will be more focused because the League Champions are already theirs.
yes, against Espanyol Madrid did rest some core players. Madrid must focus on the Champions League.
Madrid will play very seriously, they are playing at home and have to catch up with goals. The second leg can end with a penalty shootout to determine which team will enter the final.
I also support Madrid meeting Liverpool in the final rather than having to see 2 English teams playing it.

In head to head, the advantage is seen in Manchester City in the match later. Meanwhile, judging from the points, the advantage seems to be in favor of Manchester City because in the 1st leg Man City won 4-3. plus the enthusiasm of Man City to win the Champaion Title for the first time, so I predict the score will be 1-2 for Manchester City's victory in the match later.

In reality, there are no advantages for Manchester city. A goal lead is very easy to overturn and this is why both teams need to be at their best and ofcourse take their chances too. Madrid got to the semi finals because they persisted and were clinical in front of goal. Mcfc has to do that too. It is a different atmosphere there at the bernabeu. I think Real Madrid will go through to the finals

Predicting a big match like this is not easy anyone can get a chance Madrid plays with an advantage as a home team Man city come on ahead in the first leg
Well the 2nd leg will be very decisive we know apart from each other's advantages one of them can hope from luck like a penalty or something
Man City have won Agg 1 goal but the second leg will be played at home to Real Madrid and also Real Madrid have made several comebacks this season, so I think their mentality is very high, especially since they have just confirmed themselves as La Liga champions and in the second leg match later anything is still possible.

From experience, everyone believes Real Madrid will have a chance to secure the second leg, but Manchester City have a very experienced coach in the Champions League, when he was a coach at Barcelona, ​​a tactically understood game Pep Guardiola was very familiar with Real Madrid and Pep Guardiola understands the pressure and way of playing Real Madrid very well, because in the Spanish league Pep Guardiola has a difficult match against Real Madrid, so it is certain that the strategy in the second leg will change, and Manchester City will play hard to secure victory in the first leg.

Man City is a very good team. They are playing very well right now. And they also have an advantage of 1 goal. They are playing better than Real Madrid but Real Madrid always performs better on big stages. Now they also don't have the pressure of winning La Liga. So they will try their best for sure. But Man City knows that and will be ready for this. And the coach of Man City is very familiar with what Real Madrid can do. So should be easy for Manchester City.


I believe Manchester City won't take this match lightly, they will go all out to win this game, the players have suffered failures in the champions League together in several seasons so I think they have learn, this trophy is very important to Manchester City fans they have not won it before,so they have to do it for the fans and for there coach Pep Guadiola who last won it at Barcelona many years ago, he has tried and have been unlucky not to have lift it again with so many semi final he has lost, the last time he was face with an English side Chelsea and he lost to the London club so the players need to win for him and themselves.

Man City will surely take things seriously. They will surely put all their strength trying to win against Real Madrid and go to the finals. In my opinion, Liverpool got it really easy. I am expecting the final to be Manchester City versus Liverpool but it all depends on the second leg between Manchester City and Real Madrid.

this makes the game very fun
I love both teams, they gave me a lot of fun
I hope that in the next match they will work hard to make a better show than in the first game
in any case, I slightly cheer Real Madrid: D
makes me more sympathetic

I know for now it seems like Manchester City is going to be the winners in the second leg also but no one should underestimate real Madrid, especially in the Champions League. We all know that Real Madrid is always performing well on big stages and we also saw the proof of it this year.
So, Real Madrid has been said to be the underdog previously but they have proved that they are able to overcome any odds.

Also don't forget that Diliga Champions Experience is capital for them in dealing with opponents, because for clubs who are experienced knowing how to get out of pressure, especially if they play at Real Madrid, this is very difficult for Manchester City, aggregate excellence is also very influential, because Real Madrid Only need one goal without conceding, this is enough for them to advance to the final, interesting for us to wait for who is more ready to play in the second leg, because small mistakes will make both of them eliminated

The two clubs are indeed in the best condition in this season, but last night Real Madrid had secured one champion in the domestic league, this would be increasingly motivated for their players and supporters, especially since the second leg took place at the Bernabeu Stadium, as well as Manchester City they were in the game in the game which is quite consistent this year, one more step they will also win the title in the domestic league, because at this time they are the top of the standings, for the second champions league the club is still very open to win and continue the trend to the final
This season's La Liga has been too easy for Real Madrid as not many teams can compete with them from the start in the title race. So Real Madrid have to be satisfied with their consistent performance in the league this season despite having suffered 3 defeats and 6 draws in 34 matches.

Overall, Real Madrid's performances this season in the Champions League have also not disappointed considering they are still lucky enough not to fall short in every round so far. They still have a chance to advance to the final even though Manchester City are favorites to secure a ticket to the final after beating them 4-3 in the first leg. I think maybe Madrid will fail to make it to the final, but I don't know maybe they will still be lucky in the second leg.
