I'm not bothered, still not moved by whatever the crowd have too say all I know is that Manchester City will progress forwards
We just have to wait for some day's I'll keep anticipating but Manchester City faces Leeds United during the week and Real Madrid faces Espanyol.
Benzema can't be trapped down by the defense of the pass teams they have won from the round of sixteen. But let's not forget Pep Guardiola's the greatest tactician we have got to respect that, failing to win the final last season he's got this full time (De Javu) this will be another Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola in the final like it was some years back at Dortmund and Bayern Munich! I really wanted Villarreal to get to the final but it's almost impossible but I'm expecting an interesting return to the Villarreals stadium.

Although Manchester City won against Real Madrid, but they're played on their home and Madrid able to scored many goals. This will be a problem in the second leg where the match will happen on Real Madrid's home. Pep Guardiola seems couldn't stopped Benzema, he need to analyze the first leg and find the way to stop Benzema for the second leg.
In the second game I think we should be ready for a lot of surprises because both teams are playing very well and preparing very well for the match, so both teams have a chance to win the match and we can see a lot of goals like in the first game. In the first match, Benzema played very well and scored 2 goals he can play even better in the next match the tempo of the match will remain constantly high
You're right Manchester City will try Madrid abilities at home as we know Manchester City is an aggressive team no matter where they play they always score goals
Madrid still depends on Benzema, imagine if Man City players can keep Benzema Madrid will have a hard time scoring goals this is what i'm worried about

Yes indeed, a narrow 4-3 victory still cannot guarantee Manchester City to qualify but even so, I personally still believe that Pep Guardiola is able to form his team to continue to qualify. Regarding the strategy that will be applied later, whether it's defending or continuing to play attacking, I think Manchester City will be able to maintain this advantage. Nothing is certain yet, because this season there have been quite a few surprises, both in the UCL and in other European tournaments as well.
For me ManCity is still the big favorite in the matchup against Real Madrid, even though they won the first leg "only" with 4-3 i mean in the end a win is a win and is still a big tactical advantage for them in the first leg. I also think that the result of the first leg was very lucky for Real Madrid because they basically managed to almost make a goal out of any chance that they had while ManCity could have scored at least 2 or 3 goals more because they had that many good chances. As a neutral viewer the result of the first leg is great though as everything is still possible in the second leg and we can hope for a very open and exciting match again.
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

Manchester City and Real Madrid are two teams that are incomparable to each other because they both stand on top of the table but i think their playing pattern is the more convincing aspect for them both, if we consider the performances of Real Madrid in their recent matchs you could see they only bear little or no lapses in their performance while Manchester City has always been playing a winning game at all cost even despite it own challenges as well which, i think the coaches have no reason to relent this time as it keep getting tough.

Nothing is certain yet, because this season there have been quite a few surprises, both in the UCL and in other European tournaments as well.Of all the Champions League games I've watched this season, maybe it was just the Man City vs Real Madrid match where I felt the tension
since the match started. How could I not, the game had just entered the 2nd minute, Man City immediately scored a goal. And very surprising
finally the match ended with 7 goals created in 90 minutes, this is really surprising because the two teams playing are strong teams.
Usually if many goals are created, one of them is a weak team, but this two strong teams facing each other created 7 goals, really extraordinary,
meaning that both teams are playing openly. So I believe that even the second leg match Man City will play attacking, even though Man City
are ahead, they don't necessarily qualify for the final. Therefore Man City will not take the risk by playing defensively, by letting Real Madrid
attack them. The second leg match will likely be much more interesting, because the opportunities for both teams are still open. Even though
Real Madrid lost in the first leg, but only need to win the game by two goals to get Real Madrid through to the final, and that could have been done
by Real Madrid. This was successfully done by Real Madrid when they got rid of PSG, and it is not impossible that Real Madrid will do it again.

I think Villarreal will not take the second leg easy with Liverpool because their coach later discovered their mistakes that made Liverpool to defeated them in the first leg. I believe Villarreal team will really prepare well to play the second leg with different tactics that will bring them victory at the end of the match. Manchester city struggled to defeated Real Madrid 2-0 in the first leg which Real Madrid will like to use home advantage to play with Manchester city to achieve the victory. Real Madrid players will make this second leg difficult for Manchester city but at the end of the match Manchester city will definitely defeat Real Madrid 3-1 to achieve the victory.

Until the final whistle, Real Madrid is still the favorite if you ask me, the experience in the team,the players, the fans and the stadium is a whole lot of experience and motivation so city should be more focused and ready to fight to the end because real Madrid never give up.Real Madrid vs City will be an open second leg, anything can happen in Madrid.

We don't deny what you say but in an important game like this anything can happen , Madrid has the potential to win at home but who knows, luck is on Manchester City side. from what we saw in the first leg both teams are fighting each other well, the striker and defense are the important points here like Manchester city have players of average ability whereas Madrid are a bit more dependent on a few players.

I think the best way for Manchester City to win against Real Madrid is not to hang back and just sit on the one goal late that they have. They really need to go aggressive again in my opinion because otherwise, they will ultimately leave holes in their defense and Benzema is someone who can exploit those gaps really well.
Thats what they are going to do obviously, I honestly have never seen City play with any defensive style this season. They are good and they need to keep on pressing Real Madrid and Pep knows this as well, he is not going to repeat the same mistake on the 1st leg because letting Real Madrid scored 3 goals in Etihad was a costly mistake for the 2nd leg

Do not forget the meeting between PSG and Real Madrid in the round of 16, most believe that PSG will qualify for the next round. Moreover,
PSG managed to beat Real Madrid in the first leg match, but in the second leg match Real Madrid gave a surprise by beating PSG by a larger
goal difference, and finally Real Madrid who qualified for the next round. After that Real Madrid had to face Chelsea, who was the winner of
the previous Champions League trophy, but Real Madrid amazed us all by getting rid of Chelsea. So I believe Real Madrid will do the same
against Man City. I agree Real Madrid are an experienced team, they know how to be winners. So, in the second leg, I have no doubt that
Real Madrid are favorites to win and can qualify for the final.

Benzema is just as a saviour to real madrid, Real Madrid performance was very excellent and so interesting. I knew the game will be very competitive for the both team, if not that Manchester City is a strong team that plays well it was not easy for them because real madrid was running after them in scoring goals to draw the with Manchester City , the goal difference between the two team is not much . It was an interesting game, both Real Madrid and Manchester City played well.
we seea piece of the game or a piece of the season is not enough to decide whether it is good or not
to see if it goes well or if it is capable you have to aim for the long term, you have to see for years if the performances are the same
see for example Roma, every season has done as it is doing this season, what is the coach's contribution? Nothing .. it costs too much and does nothing
So are we comparing the coach of Roma to the coach of Real Madrid?
I think in this comparison we might find that obviously, Real Madrid's record looks really good and that's why it might seem like the coach is doing a really great job compared to the coach of Roma. But that is not the case in my opinion because I believe Real Madrid is just winning because of individual less that are really brilliant and not because of great team play.
