[Tony116]

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.

[Kocret02]

I'm glad to see you're quite optimistic about Liverpool, but you should also know that Liverpool and Villareal are teams that have to have chances to lose, draw and win in match regardless of the strategy the coach uses.

Indeed Liverpool have managed to prove that Villareal's defense can still be penetrated with good attack and pressure throughout the match, but Villareal must be wary of especially on the counter-attack in the second leg. A draw is possible, IMO why not?

I agree that Liverpool can win or lose but 2 goals in advantage sounds to be a good one and it is enough for Liverpool to protect it in the second leg and go to final match. They proved that Villareal defense can be broken and in the second leg, Villareal will have to play attacking to score 2 goals in minimum that will open more opportunities for Liverpool to exploit open space with their sleedy players like Salah, Mane, Diaz and Jota.

The four clubs that are the most interesting for us to watch are Real Madrid against Manchester City, because this match will be very hot and the tension will be very hard for both clubs. Tactically, both Manchester City and Real Madrid are not so much different from the first leg, but Real Madrid really benefited from playing at home, even though they lost the first leg, but if you look at the chances of Real Madrid not being so difficult to win the match, because on aggregate the goal is in their favour, another match between Liverpool and Villarreal, surely Liverpool will most likely win the match

They made a very interesting and goal productive match in Etihad stadium. 7 goals and one in difference is what they will start in Bernabeu in aggregated result. It will give Real Madrid more confidence that they can beat Manchester City and have  another final then title in Champions League for the club.

They have Benzema who is ready to take and turn any minor opportunity into goal. It is unfair for Benzema if he won't win Ballon d'Or after his amazing show in this season. A final and a title will definitely help Benzema to get his fourth Champions League and first Ballon d'Or

In terms of opportunities, both clubs still have a chance, even though Real Madrid lost 1-0 on aggregate, but because the number of goals in the first leg was quite a lot, this became Real Madrid's advantage, especially playing at home in the second leg, even though Manchester City also cannot be underestimated, they are at their best this season, Pep Guardiola has potential players for this season, for both clubs a small mistake will affect the result of the second leg match

[hahay]

Real Madrid may play the best football in other to qualify for the second round of the league but the challenge is that they are playing against a more stronger club like Manchester City and at that their chance is very slim, but if their are able to make good use of the home advantage in the first half it will be better for the club so their could have a strong defense in the second half to take home their winning like I said before this isn't going to be an easy game for Real Madrid.

I think Real Madrid's chances are not slim to qualify for the final, in fact both teams still have the same opportunity even though Real Madrid is behind by 1 goal. with the absence of an away goal means both clubs have equal chances. 1 goal behind is not difficult for a team as big as Real Madrid.
both teams are in good form this season, when the second leg later we will see a world class match that will be very interesting.

Anyway, Real Madrid didn't lose the chance to win and qualify, because not many teams have been able to score 3 goals at the Etihad Stadium this season and Real Madrid were able to do that in the first leg. Also, basically Real Madrid wasn't bad at all in the first leg, with a squad like that I think Real Madrid is really a team with a winning mentality that other teams don't have at the moment. So yes, for me Real Madrid still has a chance to qualify somehow, because I also admit that Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool at the moment are really great teams.

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.

Real Madrid will definitely prepare everything that can motivate them to play better at home this time because this is a decisive game they are one step away from reaching the final if they do not have significant mistakes and can win the match with a better aggregate than First leg. I'm sure that Real Madrid will try to do that because they also know that Manchester City are in very good form this season.

They seem to have prepared well for this now considering that this week they rested almost all of their main players in La Liga and this is certainly one of the ways to stay fit when facing this Leg 2.
with Aggregate 1 goal now I still believe in Madrid to qualify despite the strength and speed that City has now I am still beside Real Madrid

[laurenB7742]

Real Madrid may play the best football in other to qualify for the second round of the league but the challenge is that they are playing against a more stronger club like Manchester City and at that their chance is very slim, but if their are able to make good use of the home advantage in the first half it will be better for the club so their could have a strong defense in the second half to take home their winning like I said before this isn't going to be an easy game for Real Madrid.

That problem with Real Madrid is that they have been winning on the back of individual performance and I don't think that is going to work against a team like Manchester City at this stage of the Champions League. I think we can understand that from the performance of Real Madrid in the first leg against Manchester City. The attack is very good but the defense of Real Madrid is really questionable and that's why I don't think they will be able to go to the finals of the Champions League.

[Marvell1]

Agreed, I truly believe that Manchester City is going to go for attacking football in the second leg also because they know that Real Madrid's defense is not the best right now even though the midfield is good and the attacking is really great from Real Madrid. So, they will obviously try to take advantage of the weak defense of Real Madrid. But, I also believe that Real Madrid knows that very well and they will also try to counter that.

I understand your reasoning, but they are very much in conflict with the quotes that the bookmakers give for these three teams. The quotes for Liverpool are fair at this stage, by the way, they are fair even for the final result:

Liverpool 1.86

Manchester City FC 2.15

Real Madrid 10.50

But the quotes for Real and City are absolutely distorted. City are judged as if they are already in the final.

I know what you mean but there is nothing wrong with those odds after I watched the first leg, it seems fair for Liverpool and Manchester City but very unfair to underestimate Real Madrid like that. But I don't know what site offers high odds for Real Madrid because the bookie I visited only offered 3.25.

Liverpool 1.72

Manchester City 2.09

Real Madrid 3.25

So I'm sure the bookmakers will make Manchester City and Liverpool the favorites for the final but we shouldn't get hung up on just these numbers while all the teams might still qualify with the odds that might be in store for them.

Check it here https://stake.com/sports/outright/soccer/international-clubs/uefa-champions-league/41983969-uefa-champions-league-21-22
Apparently you mixed up different outcomes - reaching the final and winning in the final. If you believe in the victory of Real Madrid, then the bookmakers offer just such odds of 10.50. And I think you will also agree with me that such quotes for Real Madrid are also unfair.

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.

[Roidz]

but Real Madrid have the mentality and also high confidence when they play in the UCL stage which has high tension.
1 goal behind is not the end of everything, the second leg later the match will be played at home to Real Madrid and everything is still possible to happen.

I think Real Madrid will also try their best to qualify for the final in the second leg because besides Real Madrid will play at their own home, they also don't want to bring home disappointment when playing at home because it is the final decision for Real Madrid to go to the Champions League final this season.

I'm quite curious whether Madrid will be able to make a comeback at the Bernabeu like they did against PSG in the semifinals?
Because the comparison between Manchester City and PSG is very different in my opinion, even though PSG is filled with star players, but their coach experience in the Champions League is clearly very little, in contrast to Guardiola who has quite a lot of experience in the Champions League, besides that Manchester City  have played in a fairly competitive league and made them very skilled at getting out of every pressure in a match and if we compare it, it is certainly very different from PSG in Ligue 1.
I don't know whether to bet on PSG or Madrid because I think both teams have the same chance to win in the second leg match .

Real Madrid must have improved their morale a great deal after announcing their La Liga title today by destroying Espanyol 4-0. This is very important for them as it can contribute to their performance against Manchester City a lot next week. That game is going to be something special for them as it is their decider game in the Champions League. It isn't going to be easy for them to lead against Manchester City there. But it isn't impossible of course. Real Madrid will need to be better at defense to increase their chance.

In the second leg meeting, Ancelotti's team will definitely surprise Pep Guardiola's team, because Real Madrid are playing at home, it is certain that Real Madrid fans can influence the game, it is very difficult to predict who will be eliminated in the second leg. because both teams still have the same big chance, both teams will definitely present an interesting game, they will definitely attack each other, real Madrid has just celebrated victory after beating Espanyol and has lifted the domestic league trophy, could real Madrid's happiness continue in the second leg Champions League semifinals later, or vice versa, but my prediction is that Man City will beat representatives from Spain for the second time. The final score is 1-2, for Man City to win.

I still hope this happens, even though City are a pretty strong team now and have a super fast game but I still hope Madrid can come back now.

Madrid have now locked the La Liga trophy under their control, with this they should be able to focus more on the Champions League and this is different from City who still have to work hard in the domestic league.
Madrid should try to secure the midfield and play the ball more daring now. 1 goal is still quite a bit and it's still possible to come back

[Turbolinea]

I think that the Liverpool - Villarreal draw has already finished by Liverpool's decent 2-0 win in Anfield. I don't believe Villarreal are strong enough to turn things around from this point.

You don't ignore the miracle, there is always a space for a miracle in a football match. Although Liverpool has 2 goals advantage right now, it is still possible for Villareal to beat them in Leg 2. But surely they need 3 goals without any conceded goals. I know it is very difficult, but nothing is impossible in a football match. Especially for the La Liga team, many of them often make a surprise in an international match.

I don't know. I feel like this is the end of this journey for Villarreal. Like you said, they will need a miracle to do so. Above all else, they will need to play their best attacking game here. They shouldn't fear anything as they are already 2-0 behind. I don't think that Emery would have a defensive play in this match too. They would attack with all they have. But this means that they would give a big space in their defense for Liverpool at the same time. And Liverpool like to play against a strategy like this. They are one of the best attacking teams in the end.

This is what I expect from Real Madrid when I host Manchester City. Give everything the best in the decisive match to show who really deserves to qualify for the Final. Manchester City must be vigilant, when the game Real Madrid will do everything. The best performance will definitely be shown to each other.

[fullhdpixel]

Winning this game will see Real Madrid attacking more in this game and if Pep Guardiola utilize this very well then he can win the game successfully.
It's all clear that Liverpool are already in the final, the likes of Danjuma and Chukwueze were all absent but present in that game.
That waa as a result of them defending ,if you they was creating chances and defending they should have had a goal in the match.

Pep is the perfect mastermind to counter teams who are overtly attacking. Madrid needs to attack, they lost the first game and they need a score and not like they can't find it. I am sure both teams will score in this game and wagering on that should be an easy bet, probably has very low odds as well.

But, the real deal is that if Real is fighting so hard to score, then their defense will be a bit higher, and their midfield will basically be around the box of City, which would allow city to pass quickly and go counter attacking and that means City will use the weakness of such tactics for their advantage and it will once again be a game with many goals.

Real Madrid has just enjoyed the celebration of the 35th Spanish League champions.  This is a mental injection for Real Madrid players ahead of facing Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League.  Ancelotti, who has just become the first coach in the world to succeed in the five best leagues in the world, really hopes that his team will not lose focus after partying.  Madrid's opportunity is very open to go to the Final and of course the Madrid fans really hope that Los Blancos can juxtapose the La Liga title and the Champions League title.

[lalabotax]

it's possible to happen but the chances are very slim and also I can hardly believe that a miracle will happen because in terms of quality and game Villarreal are far behind Liverpool,

Don't forget they beat Bayern Munich in the previous round. If we are talking about the quality of players and their gameplay, Bayern Munich is very far far better than Villareal. Even we may claim that Bayern gameplay is a bit better than Liverpool. So why Villareal can beat Bayern? I don't say it is purely about the miracle, it is also about the strong intention and hard work done by Villareal players. If Villareal players can play again like when they played against Bayern Munich in Leg 2, I assume they will have a chance to beat Liverpool as well.

[Falconer]

In terms of opportunities, both clubs still have a chance, even though Real Madrid lost 1-0 on aggregate, but because the number of goals in the first leg was quite a lot, this became Real Madrid's advantage, especially playing at home in the second leg, even though Manchester City also cannot be underestimated, they are at their best this season, Pep Guardiola has potential players for this season, for both clubs a small mistake will affect the result of the second leg match

My guess is that Manchester City will qualify for the final this season despite having to ensure victory at Bernabue. I think a draw is a fair enough result for the second leg, but Real Madrid are a team with good experience in the Champions League which no one can underestimate unless something happens to Benzema before the match or during the match.

The job of Guardiola and his team in the second leg is to win the game and I'm sure they can do that even though they didn't manage to maintain a big goal difference in the first leg. 4 goals in the first leg is a good thing to know that Real Madrid's defense is not good, so Manchester City will have to capitalize on it again in the second leg.
