Will Manchester United ever make it up to the champion leagues as the no longer on the top 5 on the EPL table, the lose to asernal today in the premier league have shown the club weakness.
It is not impossible, there is still a possibility, but I think it will not be easy. Manchester United were one of the teams that sadly performed poorly. After the match they lost yesterday, we can say that they don't have much chance anymore.
It is difficult to predict what they will do next season, but their chances of finishing with a good ranking have decreased this year Smiley

I no longer see the possibility of Manchester United qualifying for the Champions League. They have played one match more than Arsenal, but are still 6 points behind. Most likely Manchester United will be sixth in the table at the end of the season.
There is no shortage of talented and star players in the United squad. Their main weakness is their match strategy, and lack of bonding among the players. If the coaches do not change, their performance will not improve next season.
The possibility of Manchester United to enter the Champions League next season is very small even I say it is impossible after they have gone through many bad weeks, now the competition for 4th place in the standings is only fighting over 2 teams between Arsenal and Tottenham.

honestly speaking tottenham is bad, they can't win even when they have a great opportunity to play against some weak team, i know that in the last games they were doing very well, they won some games and even scored a lot of goals, but they always start to win for a while then start to lose for a while and just now that it's a bad time, they started to lose points, something meaningless, they lost against Brighton, then they went to draw against brentford, that way they didn't make it to the champions league so soon. I even doubt that in the next seasons they will be able to reach the champions league. I wonder how tottenham fans deal with all this? It must be hard to be a tottenham fan.

Can't wait for the semi-final match in the Champions League, both the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match, and the Liverpool vs Villareal match. I want to see how far Villarreal can put up a tight fight for Liverpool. Even though they are not seeded but I still want to see what this representative from Spain will do. But in the end I would still bet on Liverpool to be in the final.

The game is open for both teams and i believe we will get to witness tactical prowess in both legs of the champions league semi final this year. For Manchester city; they could be without Walker and Cancelo which is a blow to some extents; while Real Madrid could miss Casemiro (still rumours). Liverpool meanwhile have little to worry about injury wise. What are your picks for the first leg tie? A madrid win and a liverpool draw ?

Liverpool have the best draw, but Villareal have knocked out Juventus and Bayern Munich and were simply better and the deserved winner over 2 games against both teams. It cannot be ruled out that they can make a new stunt. Things are going a little less in the competition, but hidden forces seem to be emerging in the CL. Liverpool is expected to continue, but Villareal is certainly not without a chance. I think 80-20% Liverpool will go through to the final. Nobody wants a Liverpool-Man City final. But we also do not want Villareal - Real Madrid.

villareal is a team that did very well at a certain point in the league but suddenly they dropped a lot in performance, but they are still inconsistent, which is very difficult to predict to what extent they can be a dangerous team, I hope liverpool does not underestimate them

It is true that the possibility still exists but it will be difficult to realize it. Manchester United should be able to win every remaining game with a team record above them also having to drop points. Will be divided as it remains undetermined by itself but also waiting for the other Team to get a negative result. Especially with their current performance, I'm pessimistic that they can do it.
Manchester United's situation is really complicated!
I still believe that they can qualify as the next games tend to be against weaker teams, but with the emotional state of the players shaken this should get a little more complicated.

But the main disappointment of this game must be Cristiano Ronaldo... after returning to play, he scores the only goal but it isn't matched by the team that ends up losing.

The problem is Manchester United is not playing as a team and the players also seem to have no chemistry with each other. and obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo alone cannot do everything in the team.  The way I see it is that he is doing his job which is scoring goals but the rest of the team should also help him by making more chances and also defending well enough. and the way Manchester United has been so inconsistent this season I really do not expect much from them at this stage.

Liverpool are going to have a more difficult matchup in the semi finals. Villarreal are still worse than them of course but we can't overlook Villarreal's performance so far. They have eliminated two big teams in the previous rounds. And they have nothing to lose against Liverpool too. They are not going to be under pressure to reach the finale but I can't say the same thing for Liverpool too. However, Liverpool are a very good team to deal with that pressure. They can transform it into an advantage whenever they want. I still expect a close score on aggregate despite thinking that Liverpool will eliminate them.

You are right. Manchester United is not playing well against strong teams. They are losing against every renowned team. They will face Chelsea and Liverpool in the next matches. And the idea is that they will lose these two matches as usual. Arsenal and Tottenham, on the other hand, are already far ahead of Manchester United. So the chances of United qualifying for the Champions League are almost nil.

Manchester City have a better team collective and in my view also a better coach. But Manchester doesn't have a top striker like Benzema. In fact, de Bruyne is City's star player, but Madrid has Modric in midfield. It could well be that City will go out against Madrid. If you can beat PSG with Madrid, you can beat City. They have not always convinced, not even in the Champions League. The last time it was all difficult against Atletico and Atletico should have won that game, while they played with 10 men.

Manchester City should be able to win Real Madrid if all things are being equal, Real Madrid team cannot do without Benzema. It is truth they have the likes of Vinicius Jnr and Modric to display some level of brilliance that could swing the game to their advantage but Vinicius is not consistent game after game and Modric can be marked out. As for Manchester City, their major worries is the injuries plaguing the team now and this might just give Real Madrid the advantage.
But they do not have to do without Benzema? Am I missing something, I checked everywhere and he is neither injured nor booked for the game, which means that he should be able to play right? I mean the sentence "they can't do without benzema" sounds like he won't be playing but he will be playing and they can with him on the roster as we all have seen before. If they managed to beat PSG and Chelsea, then there is no way of knowing if they can beat City as well.

I do believe that City has a higher chance, I do believe that City will go to next stage, but when you have a player like Benzema on the pitch, we never know what he may do to surprise us.
Yea is true that benzema deserve lot of praise for his outstanding performance he has display so far this season, what he has done in Laliga, what he did against Paris Saint Germain, that hatrick then against Chelsea in both legs he is truly a world class player, so Manchester City need to need to pay more attention to him, but I think Manchester City will go through to the finals because they have quality all over the pitch they only thing they might miss is Kyle walker who they lost to injury against Atletico Madrid in the quarter final second leg.

Define all things being Equal?

Manchester City vs Real Madrid without Benzema?

Besides, where is it written that Benzema is out or got injured and therefore won't play?
I don't know if you watch Real Madrid's matches, but Modric has been very brilliant for a 36-year-old. Are you aware that he has been involved in some of Real Madrid's recent comebacks?

Many predictions favor Manchester City, but Manchester City must remember that Real Madrid is a club that has a strong mentality. Real Madrid is a football club in this Spanish mother who has proven himself by winning 13 Champions League trophies. While Manchester City have not proven anything in the Champions League. However, Manchester City in recent years has shown good progress.
I still believe in the mentality of Real Madrid to advance to this year's final despite the prediction that Benzema will not be able to play due to injury.

I doubt if Manchester United can make it up to champions league  with their recent performance.  They lost to arsenal in yesterday day game and it made them to go down low. The way Manchester United are playing it looks very difficult to predict if Manchester United can come back strong any moment from now.
Ronaldo always starting their games. Unfortunately Rolando's performance not constant but variable, and if you're looking his execution only demonstrate against weak opponents. Maguire defensive performance also not up to the mark. Recuperation from this stage very unthinkable, and I question won't return soon. Newly appointed coach Erik Ten Hag will take charge from the starting of the next season and certainly going through an intense improvement.

To think that Villareal will beat Liverpool and go to next stage and then telling people do not watch football is a bit of a oxymoron. Liverpool, I mean we are talking about Liverpool here. I get that Bayern was good and somehow Villareal managed to beat them and kudos to them, but do you really believe that they could do that all over again and this time against Liverpool? I see zero chance for Villareal this time around.
It will be easy win for Liverpool, for them it is nothing different than beating any other team they have so far. This is a team that could win it all and nobody would be shocked, they could even turn things around and win FA cup and Premier league in the same season, would be very difficult but not really shocking if it happens.
Obviously you are a big Liverpool fan but I have to ask you something.
Did you watch the first match between Bayern and Villareal?
Villareal were much better than Bayern and it is a miracle that the match ended with only a minimal victory of the Spanish team.
In Germany, Bayern were better but could not do much against the great defense of the Spanish team.
Therefore, be aware that Villareal did not accidentally qualify for the semifinals, or because they was very lucky, but thanks to the excellent tactics of the game.
I agree that Liverpool is a slight favorite, but they have two very difficult games against Villareal and everything is still open.

It is ok to think that Liverpool is going to win the match but I find it really unbelievable that people are still thinking Liverpool is going to win this match without any problem.

Because we also thought the same thing when Villarreal played against Bayern Munich.
Nobody gave them a chance against Bayern Munich but they did manage to win that match and they won that match by playing good football not just buying some dumb luck.  

So, I am expecting everyone to take Villareal seriously as that is the thing which Liverpool is also going to do in the Champions League match.

I agree with you.
For many fans Bayern was a big favorite to win this competition, just as Barcelona was a big favorite to win the Europa League.
We all know what happened in the end.
European competitions are very long and difficult, and it's not easy to play every game at a top level.
You can play perfectly all season and then play one game a little weaker and drop out of the competition.
Ask Guardiola and Manchester City what they think of this?  Grin
Often the winner in the end is not the best team but the most prepared team.
Villareal is a very difficult and dangerous team and Liverpool will have to play two perfect games to win.

I also think so because for the fourth place will only be contested by two clubs in the remainder of this season (Arsenal and Tottenham), while Manchester United can only chase the fifth position in the standings for the remainder of this season because if Arsenal and Tottenham had lost one more time and Manchester United was able to survive by drawing and winning, so the fifth position is still possible for Manchester United to take.

I think England will send Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal/Tottenham. Arsenal and Tottenham are still struggling to finish in the top 4, the difference of two points from Arsenal makes Tottenham still have hope of appearing in the Champions League next season. Meanwhile, Manchester United will certainly find it difficult to catch Arsenal and Tottenham points, because Manchester United have played one game more than Arsenal and Tottenham. Moreover, the next match Manchester United will be met with Chelsea, If Manchester United loses to Chelsea in the 35th game. Manchester United is not only threatened not to appear in the Champions League, they are also in danger of losing their place in the Europa League.

I no longer see the possibility of Manchester United qualifying for the Champions League. They have played one match more than Arsenal, but are still 6 points behind. Most likely Manchester United will be sixth in the table at the end of the season.
There is no shortage of talented and star players in the United squad. Their main weakness is their match strategy, and lack of bonding among the players. If the coaches do not change, their performance will not improve next season.

I think Man United performance has fallen after missing the penalty kick to equalize on the scoreboard. Based on the news I read, that ronaldo refused a penalty kick and the coach gave a penalty kick opportunity for fernandes but unfortunately it didn't make luck for Man United. I think Man United have to settle for embarrassing defeats in the last few matches.

Moreover, Man United still has tough team opponents like Chelsea and Liverpool. Man United will be difficult to get into the top 4. there is even a possibility that Man United will be displaced by West Ham if they do not improve their performance.
This season has been pretty bad for Man United. they look difficult in winning the match against an equally strong team.
