I predicted Manchester City would win this game, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult for them. When Kevin de Bruyne and Jesus scored two quick goals and Foden scored a third early in the second half, I had no doubt that Manchester City would play in the final. But now I think all is not lost for Real Madrid.

Hm don't be too sure mate Cheesy

Have you forgotten what happened to a team that Madrid played against before? I think you are taking this too lightly because even though City are ahead in this first leg, it is only 1 goal in aggregate and I hope you don't underestimate Madrid just because of this 1 goal aggregate.
I personally am still quite confident in the strength of Madrid and City must be prepared for that in the second leg later

So, I think Manchester City decided that the best defense is offense and they realized that containing Benzema is going to be really hard so they have to attack, and attack they did from the very start of the match.

It was a match with a lot of goals but in the end, there will have the advantage of only one goal. So, I think in the second leg Real Madrid will still have a great chance of winning because they do perform really great in big stages of football.

It was a real battle! I don't remember teams playing with so many goals in the final rounds... Honestly, I thought Real would win, but Man City managed bravely in this game... I hope the return match will be no less dramatic! I'm sure Man City will be very difficult in Madrid!

Their match will still continue in the 2nd leg. Manchester City are indeed playing bravely in their own stadium. They hope to score a goal to make it easier to face Real Madrid in the 2nd leg so it is unexpected that the result 7 goals occurred in the 1st leg (Manchester City 4-3 Real Madrid) and this result is very profitable for Real Madrid because Real Madrid only needs to win 1-0 against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.

I also predicted a win and bet on Manchester City and win some nice amount of money,I knew it would have been difficult for them but I also knew that if they didn't win yesterday night it would be 100% game over for them for the further qualifying.Real Madrid I think is the favorite in the return leg but honestly English teams are completely unpredictable and if Chelsea were able to beat Real at home City is even more of a dangerous team so I think the qualification is still open but 60% for City and 40% for Madrid.

Liverpool taking on Villarreal to at 20:00/this going to be an exciting time for Liverpool fans as they have high hope that their club is going to win against Villarreal since they playing against a smaller club.

This the same as what people said in the 1/8 finals as well as in the quarter final. In the 1/8 final match, Juventus was the opponent of Villareal. Many people especially Juventus fans was hoping that Juventus wont get difficulties to go to the quarter final but the fact says the opposite. The same thing happened again in the quarter final between Bayern Munich vs Villareal, I'm pretty sure most people predicted Bayern will be the one to go to semi-finals, again the fact says the opposite. Now it is the time for Liverpool, many people also predict and hope Liverpool will win easily but it is not a guarantee. Villareal may continue their unexpected performance against bigger team, it is now semi-finals, we cant say a team is smaller than others.

It was one of the most beautiful matches we have watched in recent years, it was quite competitive and we watched a very fast game. Both teams gave their best and it turned out to be a great match for the audience. It was very enjoyable to score so many goals, we watched good positions in the match non-stop. Both the goals were very good and the passes made

We witnessed an amazing match yesterday. I was expecting a calm defensive, calculated game by both experienced teams, but we saw a real shooting on the pitch. Benzema once again showed amazing class. I admit that I am already looking forward to the rematch in Madrid. After this crazy match, it's hard for me to name a favorite to qualify for the final.

The match yesterday really was a banger and the best thing about it was that i really did not expect the match to be that open and to have that many great scenes in the offense, but somehow both teams decided that the defense is not that important. I think this match will definitely go down as one of the best semi-finals of the Champions League ever. The best thing for me as a neutral fan is that the outcome of this matchup is still completely open and that both teams still have a realistic chance to advance into the final. Still i expect the second leg to not be that offensive and exciting then the first leg, but we will see.

as a liverpool fan i will be very happy if liverpool wins this game, but i keep asking myself again why are the houses and bets underestimating the champions league opponents?

yesterday we saw clearly that City and real madrid were with a 50% - 50% chance of winning the game, both teams had the same strength. but the houses and pre-match bets were placing odds of @6.00 for real madrid

Today we have the same scenario:

Liverpool FC = @1.31

Villarreal CF = @9.80

maybe even today it will be worse because they are putting @9.80 for villareal, this is a big exaggeration because Villareal is not as weak as they are putting it

Manchester City and Real Madrid have presented interesting games throughout the match And I hope this will also happen when Liverpool play Villareal. Although many doubt that Villareal can match Liverpool, I believe they have more motivation in this semi-final, whatever the result for them, Villareal will definitely show their best game.

even though before the match started I was very sure of Madrid's victory. but it turns out that the performance of Man City cannot be underestimated. but in the second leg I remain optimistic with madrid. learn from previous matches where madrid always rises. and it is proven that in the last game we can see that madrid mentality is quite strong even with a little push from Benzema. but it was effective in bringing the team out of a mental slump.

Liverpool up next against Spanish side the yellow submarines, after a successful display and winning over Everton during the weekend as both goals came from right fullback Robertson and the Belgium international Divock Origi, they sit one points below Manchester City as they will be hoping for a fall for them to go on top.
Villarreal has won back to back league game's in La Liga and has one of the greatest seasons by defeating and knocking Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich as they was held to a successful draw, as this game should push them Morales higher ahead of the game against Liverpool pool.
Danjuma for the yellow submarines have been on a good goal scoring. Can Unai Emery advance from this knock out against Liverpool ?

Do you think Karim Benzema deserves the Ballon d'or? He's having a great season at age thirty- four, this should be the best season of the France international football Career!

I think Liverpool are actually stronger than Bayern Munich, they are probably the team the execute high press in the game the most and arguably the best at that in Europe. It is quite difficult to identify where their weaknesses lies and that will be Villarreal nemesis and with Mane and Salah who are in the form of their lives I think Villarreal can't depend on the confidence of beating Bayern into this game.

Man City just didn't finish the game with more goals, because they didn't take advantage of the several clear scoring opportunities they had. They had been able to set up the playoffs if they had scored two or three more, and they had opportunities to do so.

Now, it will be more difficult in Madrid. Real Madrid have already shown that they don't give up, no matter what result is on the scoreboard. That's why Man City will have to fight even harder to overcome Real Madrid.

It was quite incredible how Real kept coming back, three times Man City had a two-goal advantage, and three times Real pulled it back to a single goal. Man City will definitely not be happy about this result, arguably it now makes Real favourites for the tie when we return to Madrid.

But of course that will mean the pressure is on Real to secure the win at home, and City can just defend and try to hit them on the break. It's very finely-balanced. And of course we remember the previous round, where Real played Chelsea... and Real won in England, but then lost back at home in Spain in the second leg and nearly went out of the competition.

We watched a full football feast last night. City gained a psychological advantage with the goals they found at the beginning of the match. Also City played a very dominant and effective game in the first thirty minutes of the game. If City had been able to score goals in the first thirty minutes they could have finished the game in the first half. But there is the reality of Benzema in Real Madrid. Benzema was the name that carried the team. He motivated his team every minute and took his team out of the hole with the goal he scored. The panenka-style penalty shot by Benzema also shows what a master he is. It was a very enjoyable match. It's the best match of the this year.

The open game from both teams made the match even more interesting. Once again I saw the mentality of Real Madrid here, they were two goals down in the first minutes but they didn't lose confidence And tried to reduce the goal difference, they did it.
Speaking of Benzema, he has always been an important player for Real Madrid. Again, the goals he created could make Real Madrid not so slumped when competing in the second leg later.

Wow, what a game we had yesterday. City will feel disappointed even after winning the game, they played really, really well and should have scored a few more goals.
Then again - what to say about Real? They take even the smallest opportunities they can get - and while City is missing clear-cut chances Benzema needs only a half-cross to put the ball in the net.

City will feel that conceding 3 goals was too much - but using their chances is a trademark of Real's gameplay this season.

We can only hope that the second leg will be as good - the result will lead to an open game as well.

Kelvin debruyne's 2nd minutes flying header was just a typical masterpiece and one that only him can do. The early goal was enough adrenaline to get pep's boys going and I feel this score like will help to bolster their confidence in the return leg at the Santiago bernabeu.
Real Madrid are a club that are known in this tournament as a team who usually bounces back from a loss. Take PSG and Chelsea Chelsea for instance. Eyes will be on benzema as in the previous games, he was able to come through for them. Can he be able to work his magic in the return leg or is this where they get kicked out.
