Real Madrid 1-2   Manchester City

At the end of the first half, Manchester City is leading 2-1. Bruyne scored in the first 2 minutes of the match to give Manchester City the lead. And just 8 minutes later, Gabriel Jesus scored to give Manchester City a 2-0 lead. The performance of both the teams was quite enjoyable. Karim Benzema scored their only goal for Real Madrid.
Manchester City is ahead but Real Madrid has a good chance to win. Benzema is playing well enough. If Vinicius could play a little better we might see a few more goals in the second half.

Manchester City 2 - 0 Real Madrid

first goal was scored at 2 minutes

Its half time in Manchester and it has been a good game which see City lead with 2 goals to 1. Real Madrid defense line faltered but Benzema has given Real Madrid with a lifeline with the goal right before half time. Will Madrid get an equalizer or City extend their lead? 45 minutes to find out.

Manchester City has successfully marked out Real Madrid key player "Benzema'' in this first half. Benzema seems unstoppable by scoring unexpected goals despite that.
Manchester City will carry this day. The odds seem to favour them in this match cause it's their home.
Can't wait to see what happens in the next 45minutes of the second half also

[Woodie]

I don't like how the current game is unfolding with too many goals in the first half, can Real Madrid comeback against a Manchester City side that looks more than determined to find themselves in the finals   and btw city already have an advantage based on the 2goals they have, can this game go the other way in favor of Real Madrid or they will defend what they have.

[Odusko]

Well, I.fomt expect anything less from Manchester city against real Madrid as the 2:1 is what I predicted for the first half of the match and there is the possibility of more goals before the end of the 90 minutes and Manchester City is in the best position to. make more goals attempts than real Madrid because Real Madrid is a small to them and from their previous performance man city have more points compared to real Madrid.

[Iranus]

There are a number of evaluations that probably everyone has seen where Manchester City short cross at the defender can always be broken and it's not the only time that this mistake is almost made into a goal. Indeed, while Manchester City is ahead, seeing the opportunities that Mahrez gets is always wasted. After the second half I think Madrid will make some changes which Benzema will use very well. Goals will still be there in the second half. The potential for a draw can now be confirmed that Madrid can take it.

Still, both teams have a chance to win the match. The weakness of Real Madrid is that they rely heavily on Benzema. Benzema is playing well, but it is very difficult to beat Manchester City by relying only on Benzema. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo will have to perform well with Benzema to win. Otherwise, Real Madrid will lose to Guardiola's match strategy today.

[Zackgeno96]

No wonder there is a game with many goals. 3 in the first half, and soon a goal in the second half. Real Madrid will now really have to do everything they can to ensure that the result does not go much higher. 3-1 is a bad result for Madrid, but certainly not without a view in Madrid. but if it goes 4-1 I think they are almost certainly out. Benzema will now have to show how good he is to get his team through.

Real Madrid 1-2   Manchester City

Now 3-2 in favour of Manchester city courtesy Foden and a quick response from Vini Jnr. The game is still open in my opinion unless Manchester city can score more goals to extend their lead, one goal lead is not enough against a team like Real Madrid.

The Real Madrid defense need to do better than what we saw in the first half, we can trust their attack with Benzema but not their defense to keep Manchester city from running and making through passes. The Real Madrid coach has already made some changes to that regards, removing Alaba and bringing in Nacho, he may need to do some more maybe bringing in Camavinga, their super sub.

[Smartvirus]

The second half is already on the goal and I can't say I was disappointed in either of the teams because, they are handling the game just fine this far. Manchester City is being the dominant team and of which you can attribute that to not just there game plan but also, the versatile nature of there players. It was a very early goal from Kevin De Bruyne and quite a mistake from Real Madrid to have given Manchester City such a head start, knowing that they are the sort if team that hungers for goals. Real Madrid on the other hand have got too much dependency on Karin Benzema, otherbplauerd have got to step up, Like Vinicius Jnr and Rodrigo. They are capable of doing some real damage with a little accuracy and less gambling with the ball.

Perhaps at the Bernabeu, we are going to see the brutal defeat of Real Madrid. Real Madrid defenders are failing to resist Manchester City players. The first half ended 2-1. And early in the second half, Phil Foden scored the third goal for Manchester.
Benzema and Vini's performance is excellent. Benzema scored the first goal, and Vinicius scored the second for Real. Even so, Real Madrid are still lagging behind, with the match getting more and more exciting.

[BitcoinAccepted]

And there's the 3-2 already! It will be a really fun game and the game is far from over. They are 2 teams that can both score very easily, and that seems to have happened again. 3-2 is already 5 goals, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more goals. This is a lot more fun than Manchester City - Atletico Madrid.

[KTChampions]

It is extremely unpleasant at the beginning of the "epic" confrontation, when already by the 11th minute you have to think whether there will be intrigue here or whether you should already wait for the final and spend your emotions there. I hope Real will be able to consolidate and at least not worsen their situation. Two goals advantage is nothing, but three is almost a death sentence.

Benzema, as he's done all season long have given Real Madrid an important goal here, and you can instantly see the frustration from Guardiola the "perfectionist" as one of the commentators called him. It's less than 5 minutes before the halftime, It easily could have been a 4 or more goals advantage for Man City because they've squandered a couple of really decent chances, and can't afford not to make the most of these kinds of chances when playing against a side that never gives up hope even when down.

Yes, instead of 4-0 or 4-1, Real Madrid currently has quite acceptable 2-1, lol already 3-2 and this is a normal score, given that there will be a return game at the Santiago Bernabeu. By the way, if the game ends like this, then perhaps the missed chances will put a lot of psychological pressure on the City players.
I've been saying for a long time that the Benzema-Vinicius connection is the best attacking connection this season!

Today Real Madrid are back against teams from the Premier League this time Manchester City as the challenger
Real Madrid really got a worthy opponent and I think it's not as easy as the team that was defeated before
Honestly I can't predict who will win especially in the semi final the potential of both teams is the same.

What's interesting, is the meeting of these two teams is a meeting between the champion candidates in the local league. City is a candidate for Premier League champions, while Madrid is even close to locking up the La Liga title.
unfortunately the second meeting this time did not determine the Champions League champion. one of them must be eliminated. City will be more favored in the first leg by playing at home. they must be able to take advantage of this moment well so as not to struggle in the second leg.

I believe that UCL is basically what Real Madrid plays for every single year. They are proud about being an international team and they focus on being the best team in all of Europe, that is their main pride. Like, yeah they are good in La Liga, and they won it many times, but lost many times as well.

But, if you give them 3 years of no la liga wins, but 1 UCL cup during that period with 2 finals, they would gladly take that for sure. This is why I believe that they have like nearly twice as many UCL cups than the closest one and they will be quite hard to beat this year as well. Many people imagined they wouldn't be good, and that loss to Sherrif really screwed our understanding of how good they were.

Guardiola is not playing defensive tactics today. They are attacking a lot. They want to score goals. Real Madrid players should take this opportunity. Carlo Ancelotti should expect a change in his match strategy. And made counter-attack while keeping the defense strong. The performance of Real Madrid defenders does not look good. Ancelotti should have made the defense stronger in this match. However, we have already seen 5 goals. Hopefully we will see two more goals

[bekti3]

The game is quite exciting now and I'm happy with this match both teams really didn't want to lose.
there is still hope for Madrid now even though the dominance of City is still strong enough but the hope is still there.
There's still quite a bit of time left now and I want something very interesting at the moment especially I want to see Madrid score again so it will be even more exciting to watch

Now Madrid position is more favorable after scoring the 2nd goal I'm sure it's not the last goal there will be more goals especially City 3-2 is not safe for them
At first I thought there would be fewer goals because each team might play defensively in fact I was wrong the goal was scored so fast
Here I see the mentality of Madrid players is very strong, they are not down when conceding 2 goals in 11 minutes.

My guess was that both teams would play defensively in this match. And maybe the match will be a 1-1 draw. But Guardiola has been on the offensive since the start of the match. And City scored two goals very quickly. As a result, Real Madrid has been forced to play offensive tactics. However, the performance of Manchester City players is much better than that of Real Madrid. Understanding among City players is very nice. I think City will win today.

[Minor Miner]

It is 4-2 now. I see very little of the prospect of Real Madrid winning now. Even in the last 10 minutes they could not create any chance to attack. The match is being dominated by Manchester City players. Real Madrid can't take any home advantage Their weakness is that they rely on Benzema to score goals. And Manchester City defenders are able to hold Benzema. As a result, Real Madrid is not able to score.

[Smartvirus]

My guess was that both teams would play defensively in this match. And maybe the match will be a 1-1 draw.

A draw maybe yes but defensive style of game plan, it's so not between these two. This inst Atletico Madrid that are very cautious of there defense line neither do they play a very offensive game plan, its a massive defence and you can see where it did end them. Real Madrid is a team that comes out to play the game with you and that's why the game has been this exciting with more and more goals piling up by the day. Its Manchester City 4-3 Real Madrid now and the goals aren't done yet because, both teams aren't done yet until the final whistle goals. It's all that Goulding end it for them but Real Madrid isn't giving up.

Real Madrid is not giving up. They don't want to lose at home. Either way they will continue to try until the last minute to draw the match. But considering the performance of both teams, both Manchester City's performance and match strategy are better today than Real Madrid's. Real Madrid's defense was not good today. However, let's see which team can score full points. But as a spectator, I would say, today's match was very enjoyable and exciting.

Look at the current score it's 4-3 Madrid are not a team that gives up easily we know they have a lot of experience
Benzema again shows that he is one of the best players in the world always be a savior at crucial times
We hope Manchester City win today to make the 2nd leg even more interesting
