The second leg of the champions league between real madrid vs manchester city is indeed very difficult to predict, because both teams have played very well this season, but in the next meeting real madrid has many advantages, real madrid plays at home, real madrid also has no burden in the league domestic, now real madrid only focus on champions league, but in the next meeting i will place a bet for the win of manchester city, even though real madrid has many advantages but i still place a bet for the victory of manchester city.

They will certainly be very confident going through this Leg 2 but the problem is whether they can face the dominance of the City midfielders now.
If we look at their meeting in the previous first leg, Madrid lost in control of the midfield which made De Bruyne as City's midfield general mess up Real Madrid's defense.

Modric, Kroos and Casimero have to go the extra mile now because I'm pretty sure once the midfield is in control the attack will go pretty well for Madrid.

 Manchester City is a very capable club, they are a great team filled with players with attacking prowess but they are not as impressive as Real Madrid. I believe Manchester City may win Madrid but they are not as experienced when compared to Real Madrid at this stage of the competition. Manchester City have to win the champion's league this year, because the club have spend over 100 million on transfers for the third season in a row. Pep Guardiola will be looking to change the narratives.

True, Real Madrid has its own charm, especially when appearing in the Champions League. And somehow I was quite optimistic when they fell behind And had to catch up on aggregate in the second leg. Here, what is influential is not only a capable team, but also the mentality of a team.
Manchester City is a team that has been consistent with its game this season, I'm waiting to see how they go further against the "giants" of the Champions League.

It's more likely that Real Madrid's defense is weak, but the attack (and midfield) of Manchester City are very strong. In principle, one De Bruyne by himself can decide the outcome of any game, not counting Sterling, Bernardo Silva and Foden. Real Madrid have Benzema and generally high chances of getting out. It is quite possible to win back one ball, especially on your own field.

The game of the two clubs has different levels of weakness, Manchester City is strong in the middle, because they play without a single attacker, the ball supply can come from all sides, even scoring goals can be done by anyone, this is the tactic and pattern of play applied by Pep Guardiola .

Meanwhile, Real Madrid still rely on Benzema fully in scoring goals, but are weak in the lower defense, even though every game it is not only Benzema who is able to score goals, but their target men are with Benzema, and I think for the second leg it is very determined, how the coach must be able to steal opportunities, because both clubs are at their best

Real Madrid has two problems. First, their defense is very weak. Their defenses become weaker when performing against strong teams. Second, they always rely on Benzema to score. The outcome of the Real Madrid match depends on Benzema's performance.
On the other hand, Guardiola's Manchester City team is stable and strong. At the same time, Guardiola's great match strategy helped them to perform better.

The advantages of Manchester City do not make one player as a target, they rely on the team as a whole, the proof is in the first leg they are able to play quite well, besides Pep Guardiola's way of coaching does not rely on just one person, so Manchester City players all have a role in defending, supplying the ball and guarding the midfield, this is what Real Madrid don't have

[Magicalking]

It's true that in football anything can happen, it's proven that Villareal can beat Bayer Munich. but statistically that liverpool is superior in any case. Liverpool will be superior in head to head in the match later. Meanwhile, judging from the points, the advantage also seems to be in favor of Liverpool over a 2-0 win in the 1st leg. It seems difficult for Villareal to pursue 2 goals.

It doesn't matter anything but a miracle if Villarreal can reverse the lead in the second leg later.
It's not that I'm underestimating Villarreal or anything but their chances now are slim, whether beating Bayern was strength or luck, now they can't do that. they lost in every way against Liverpool even I'm quite doubtful that they will be able to play openly

In the first leg match against Liverpool, Villarreal really played defensive football, but they still lost 0-2 to Liverpool. So most likely Villarreal will take the initiative to play attacking football in the second leg. Maybe it would be a risky strategy because their opponent is Liverpool, but they have no other choice when they lost by 2 goals on aggregate.

Villarreal are no match for Liverpool, they were literally blown away by the strength of the Liverpool squad. They were quite unstable and Liverpool forced them to make mistakes. I bet on Manchester City against Real Madrid because I know they are capable of winning the match. Although Benzema will constantly be a threat but I think Manchester City should be able to score sufficient goals.

The second leg match between Real Madrid and Man City is indeed worth waiting for. I think both teams still have an equal chance, although Real Madrid still lost 1 goal on aggregate, but in the second leg they will play at home, moreover, they just won the La Liga title, so it can be assumed that they are in good shape.

Man City only need to hold on to a draw to qualify for the Final, but I don't think they'll be playing defensively because their opponent is Real Madrid (a team that can't be faced by just defending). It is still difficult to predict which team will win because both are incredible teams.

Villareal's qualification made this semi-final a little less heated, not least because of the stark differences between the two teams, but this is what has to happen.
Not only is Benzema a threat to Manchester City, but other players from Real Madrid also always perform well and often even break the concentration of opponents. Once again they are a good team, but here they have to show who is the best.

[laurenB7742]

Also don't forget that Diliga Champions Experience is capital for them in dealing with opponents, because for clubs who are experienced knowing how to get out of pressure, especially if they play at Real Madrid, this is very difficult for Manchester City, aggregate excellence is also very influential, because Real Madrid Only need one goal without conceding, this is enough for them to advance to the final, interesting for us to wait for who is more ready to play in the second leg, because small mistakes will make both of them eliminated

everything you say suggests that the teams are very balanced and that the game is uncertain
surely this is good (and even the bookmakers say this) because we will have a fun game
I love this kind of games

I know I have said the same thing that I don't trust Real Madrid to win in the Champions League at this stage but I have been proved wrong right now I am really confident that they will not be able to win against Manchester City in the second leg because Manchester City knows very well that Real Madrid is going to play attacking football because the defense of Real Madrid is not good at all and Manchester city is surely going to take advantage of that. Manchester City does have an advantage even though it is a slight one but at this stage of the competition, this advantage can prove to be really big for any team.

Today everyone is talking about the Big Match in, Manchester City vs Real Madrid. Real Madrid are better prepared for this match, as They have just secured the La Liga title. Meanwhile, the visiting team Manchester City are still struggling until the end of the season because of pressure from Liverpool.
Manchester City came to the Bernabeu with a victory at the Etihad, Manchester City will use the provisions in the first leg to put pressure on Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. On the home side, Real Madrid had to fight for a goal. This match will be very exciting, it is difficult to predict who will qualify for the final.

Although Real Madrid lost away, they played very well and a one-goal defeat is not very critical. But I don't see how Real can win at home? On Bernabéu will have something similar to the first leg, City will score goals, and Real will recoup the whole match. Most likely we are waiting for the English final in the Champions League this year, because Villarreal has no chance against Liverpool.

Even though Real Madrid believes that they have a good chance against Manchester City I think it is not good as they are thinking because Manchester city is a great team and the coach of Manchester City obviously knows very well about Real Madrid and he will surely find the weakness in Real Madrid tactics. and it is quite evident that Real Madrid has enough problems in their defense and Manchester city is really good at exploiting those weak points.
And it is obvious that Liverpool is going to win against Villarreal.

Manchester City want to redeem themselves after failing to beat Chelsea at the Champion's league final last season. I get the feeling they are fully motivated to make it to the final and would do anything to eliminate Real Madrid. It is true that anything can happen in football but I don't see Villarreal upsetting Liverpool though. I would have love an easy final for Manchester City. So, I would've want Villareal qualify but Liverpool will certainly beat the hell out of them.

About this question of whether Liverpool's victory is something guaranteed, I even wonder why in the first game the odd for Liverpool was only @1.30, but this time in the second game tomorrow the odd for Liverpool is @1.70 that this is due to the fact that villareal won in the league or is it simply the bookmakers are being generous? as for real madrid - City, this will be an unpredictable game because real madrid is the kind of team that is very unpredictable, but when they play with determination, they become dangerous and difficult to win, it is the city that has yet to fight to be champion in the premier league will have to play to save their players from possible injury. That's why I consider Real Madrid as the favorite to win this game against City

Maybe it would be a risky strategy because their opponent is Liverpool, but they have no other choice when they lost by 2 goals on aggregate.

Villareal's quality is far below Liverpool. But in the second leg anything can happen. Villareal must perform as hard as he can and play without burden. They must dare to play open whatever the end result. They have the advantage of playing in El Madrigal. Of course it will increase the confidence of the players. Although it looks heavy, anything can still happen.

The second leg match is about to start, no wonder many are betting on Liverpool's win over Villarreal. Because after all seeing the result of the match
in the first leg which Liverpool game was better, make people believe Liverpool can win the match in the second leg. So I don't see Villarreal having
a chance to beat Liverpool in the 2nd leg.

While the Real Madrid vs Man City match is much more difficult to predict, even though Real Madrid lost in the first leg, but I think
Real Madrid's performance is good enough that they can score 3 goals, and make a goal difference with Man City only one goal difference.
So Man City and Real Madrid have the same chance in the second leg, so it's more exciting to watch, because I believe both teams will play attacking.
Even though Man City has won on aggregate, it is not typical for Man City to play defensively, so there is a possibility in this second leg match
will also create a lot of goals and the second leg hopefully will be much more entertaining. I also like you prefer Real Madrid who will win the match
in the second leg and make Real Madrid through to the final, because there are several considerations that make me prefer Real Madrid as
the favorite winner when facing Man City in the second leg.

[harapan]

I'll call it a miracle if Villarreal can come back to win Liverpool successfully, if that happens then, they will be the second team in the Champions League to comeback from two plus goals downwards, this happened against Barcelona when Liverpool came back to win Four goals to nothing against Barcelona. Liverpool are in the best possible position to qualify for the finals as I don't expect any slacking, they have had great games around Europe wining all of their away game's (5) these season.

Liverpool are motivated by the fact that Manchester City are now their toughest rivals in the English Premier League, with whom they recently drew and took away key points. They are one point behind in the standings. Of course, against this backdrop, Liverpool will do everything in their power to beat City in the final, of that there is no doubt

Although it looks heavy, anything can still happen.

Tomorrow's second leg will be the decider for Liverpool whether they make it to the final and I'm sure they won't just give up and let Villareal win. Playing away is not a difficult thing for Liverpool because they are already winning 2-0 on aggregate, a draw alone is enough to get Liverpool to the final.

At the moment, Liverpool qualified for the final by defeating Villarreal, and they may achieve a draw in the going match, so I will go with the result of a draw. As for the city, qualifying for the final is just a dream that has not yet come true, because Real Madrid can tip the scales, and we have seen this before against the Parisians and the Blues, Chelsea, so even if the city manages to pass to the final, it will be through hard work. Actually, I wouldn't bet on the city match because it seems hard to predict who will win!!!

[wiss19]

The odds on Liverpool are high because they don't need to win, a draw will be enough! I will probably play it with under 3 goals, I expect something similar like in the first game! I am not sure what Villareal prepared for tonight, they didn't score in the first game, and I doubt they will score tonight, Liverpool is too tough for them!

At the moment, the quotes of the teams for tomorrow's game are as follows:

4,60 - 4,10 - 1,72

I think a bet on Liverpool looks attractive as I think Villarreal will have to play more openly to try to bounce back so Liverpool will have more chances to score than even in the first game. Even if the game ends with a score of 2-3, but it will be a victory for Liverpool.

Liverpool at 1.72 is not that bad to be fair. I mean think of it like investment and you will see that your profit would be 72% and that's not too bad. If you were a trader then you would love that return, and that's risky as well. So, I assume that the best case here would be to see it like a big chance investment and a big return for it.

Liverpool is certainly the better team for sure and they are trying to do the best they possibly could do so that they would get that UCL title, they really want that. Would be funny to see LFC denying City of UCL after Chelsea did that last year, it's like everyone is blocking City to win UCL win because they keep getting EPL .

[TelolettOm]

Tomorrow's second leg will be the decider for Liverpool whether they make it to the final and I'm sure they won't just give up and let Villareal win. Playing away is not a difficult thing for Liverpool because they are already winning 2-0 on aggregate, a draw alone is enough to get Liverpool to the final.

Of course, Liverpool won't give up, what's the reason to give up here? They are leading with 2 goals, they have the advantage to qualify for the next round. However, they don't lose focus to play in Leg 2 because it won't be always easy as expected. Moreover, the next Leg will be held in Villareal home, very possible to have a different atmosphere and situation. Although leading with 2 goals, doesn't guarantee to qualify, they need to get a draw result or win the next match. Remember that Villareal isn't a weak team, they have kicked Bayern and Juventus in the previous rounds.

[Velvet78]

There is no reason for Liverpool to give up of course. The team that mustn't give up now are obviously Villarreal at this point. Because they are the side that is 2-0 behind in the first place. They will need to take bigger risks in the second leg and play more attacking. And this can be helpful and detrimental to them at the same time. Because they can score easier like this maybe but they will surely give important chances to Liverpool at the same time. And we all know how much Liverpool are effective about benefiting from these chances.
