UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[maju69]

I see no reason for manchester city to let real madrid goes to the final. Manchester city has been coming to this stage. It will be so bad if the city will be losing against real madrid.
IMO real madrid is still my favorite club in this match. If we are comparing how good the performance from real madrid compared with manchester city and we can take a conclusion if real madrid is a perfect team while city is still below real madrid.

Manchester City also has a revenge mission after last season they were eliminated very disappointingly. Both of these teams still have the same hope of being in the final place.
But I don't agree that Real Madrid is better than Manchester City now as a whole, because in the Champions League and in the domestic league they appear more consistently than what Real Madrid experienced.

Manchester City has the best chance to win the Champions League. Real Madrid is a strong enough team and Manchester City will have to play with great strategy and responsibility to secure victory against this team. But I believe if Manchester City can secure victory in the semi-final, they will be able to secure victory in the final easily.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City is going to be a really competitive match like no one has seen in the previous season.

It will be so competitive because this two team are strong teams and the most favourite teams to win the Champions league. If Real Madrid still win champions league this season,  this will prove they are the best team in champions league and their experience is an advantage to always win.

[Docnaster]

In the champions league, we had two important and amazing games ahead, the match against Real Madrid and Manchester City is important because Mancshter can have the chance to in the champions league title for the first time in their history and Inter Milan Ac Milan is going to be interesting because, in the last game, they had Inter Milan won the game against Ac Milan in Serie A with a 1-0 result while with time Inter Molan is not in a good situation and there is a high chance for them to lose this match against Ac Milan.

The Real Madrid vs Manchester City match is the most interesting, but the Milan derby is also interesting. Manchester City may be lucky as they are away from home in the first leg, so they have a chance to do better at the Etihad in the second leg. If City lose the first leg then I hope it won't be too big on aggregate, but discussion of the result seems premature.

I'm favorites Manchester City to impress in the semi-finals and qualify for the final. But I think they really had to fight hard to beat the reigning champions last season. Madrid are still the best in the competition, but that doesn't mean they will be as lucky as the previous season to qualify for the final.

Apart from that, indeed in this case Manchester City is still very much the favorite, it's just that they clearly know what mistake they made last season by being too complacent in the midst of conditions the match had not ended.
If indeed they do it again at this time then it is certain that this will be very bad again for them, especially if they don't underestimate Madrid even though later they will be superior because it will destroy them again.

As the date for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi final tie between Real Madrid and Manchester City draws nearer, Real Madrid will surely be beating their chest that they can still eliminate the Manchester club like they've done before and despite Manchester City's current intimidating form Madrid will approach that game without any form of fear because they know their is capable of beating any club in the world at the moment.
But Manchester City won't be taking chances like they did last season and also they currently have a very lethal Striker in Erling Haaland whose presence alone sends huge concerns to defenders and that is another factor City lacked last season. Real Madrid without doubt us big club and the most successful in the competition but I think Manchester City is gonna play in the final at their expense.

[hyudien]

Manchester City has the best chance to win the Champions League. Real Madrid is a strong enough team and Manchester City will have to play with great strategy and responsibility to secure victory against this team. But I believe if Manchester City can secure victory in the semi-final, they will be able to secure victory in the final easily.

Opportunities this season will be quite different for Man City, because apart from a solid player composition, of course they have started to make many changes so that they will be able to make it difficult for Real Madrid. But apart from all that, Madrid is still Madrid, which has a myriad of ways to always escape pressure from opponents. Either what is often referred to as strong luck or how they calmly face their opponents. Meanwhile, Man City continues to insist that this season's Champions League trophy will not be wasted and will do everything possible. If indeed Man City manages to beat Madrid and advance to the final, it means that their journey will be smoother. Not only in the Champions League, but they are also likely to get the potential for the Premier League and FA Cup trophies.

To be honest. Im a bit confusing seeing how bookies favoring intermilan rather than ac milan. i do know that if playing away or home won't give impact as the match will always be happening in san siro soon. Intermilan was just winning with lukaku has been showing his great performance again.

What you have said was also true if milan is above inter right now. I may also think of picking ac milan rather than intermilan.

Yeah most likely, there are many factors that determine the club is favorite or underdog, head to head are one of the factor. But San Siro is the AC Milan's home, if Inter Milan play, the stadium is named Giuseppe Meazza.

I still don't agree AC Milan will able to beat Inter Milan, Inter Milan is well rounded club while AC Milan only relying Leao and Giroud. Giroud is currently injured, so that's might the behind reason why AC Milan is underdog in this match. But Giroud is expected able to play in early May, maybe the odds will be changed when the date already closer with the match.

Now they are not in a good state in Serie A, and AC Milan is still slightly better than Inter Milan. However, the Champions League matches will be very different. The preparations they have made still have time to make changes to their form of play. I'm not too early to say who will be able to win, maybe I'll see how their last game was to conclude something, and try to bet on the match.

Inter Milan had a better performance compared to Ac Milan and in the last five games between these two teams Inter Milan won three games while Ac MIlan won only one match and they had a draw, but Ac MIlan had an amazing performance recently against Napoli and they have improved their performance that's why I think A MIlan can have a better chance.

The performance from Inter Milan in the Champion league Quartee final is what I can't believe even till date..  Benfica has been my best option to qualify to the semi final right from the first leg of the quarter-final clash, but this was changed by inter Milan. But despite their strength in the quarter final, I still see Ac Milan above them. Reason being that, Napoli wouldn't have been an easy side for inter Milan to defeat if their quarter final clash was fixed against Napoli. Ac milan is my favorite side to get to the UCL final.

Inter milan has dominated the match against ac milan in the last 5 meetings between the two, where inter milan was able to end 3 matches with a win and 1 defeat and 1 draw which made the bookies give odds for inter milan as the winner in match.

So, if you see that opportunity, I think the bookies has given the right oods in the meeting between the two in the Champions League semifinals. but in their performance in Serie A, Inter Milan is lagging behind AC Milan in the standings table, but that is not a strong reference if AC Milan is better than them.

With a head to head like that it looks like Inter will win this game again and I think Inter have been more consistent in the Champions League this season than in the domestic league. We know the middle of the season has been really bad for Inter to be able to get the most out of it in the domestic league and they have often suffered back-to-back defeats. But on the other hand Milan does have a pretty good record in the domestic league and I quite agree that results in the domestic league are not a definite reference for favoring Milan in the Champions League semifinal match. We know very well that the Inter champion league mode is far more dangerous for its opponents.

The performance from Inter Milan in the Champion league Quartee final is what I can't believe even till date..  Benfica has been my best option to qualify to the semi final right from the first leg of the quarter-final clash, but this was changed by inter Milan. But despite their strength in the quarter final, I still see Ac Milan above them. Reason being that, Napoli wouldn't have been an easy side for inter Milan to defeat if their quarter final clash was fixed against Napoli. Ac milan is my favorite side to get to the UCL final.

yeah me too. I can't even believe how strong intermilan when it comes to the UCL compared with the domestic league. The match against benfica has proven if intermilan was even able winning against a strong team from another league even though it's still struggling in serie a due to the bad performance that has been facing by intermilan. As you can see that if intermilan has ever got a few losses in a row in serie a. it seems like that inter potentially to win UCL rather than serie a.
Lukaku is not performing so well in any match, but he will always become the main starter to face another team. It's actually unpredictable.

It doesn't matter where intermilan was playing and it always became equal to the opponent. benfica was not even able to beat intermilan even though benfica was playing at home.
What a surprise from intermilan. I heard so many rumors if intermilan will try to return lukaku back to the chelsea again.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Manchester City are a complete team now especially thanks to Erling Haaland. He was the missing piece of the puzzle. He is really unstoppable now and I don't see any Real Madrid defender who can really stop him either. It is all up to Courtois' performance against him. But still I'm expecting Manchester City to reach the finale with the help of Haaland.

Imo Manchester City have always been a complete team, they have just been somewhat unlucky in the CL knockout stages even after scoring quite a lot of goals, last season against Real Madrid in the CL SF City scored five times, but defensive errors and lack of concentration cost them so much, and they ended up conceding 6 goals, thus they were eliminated. What i think is that City are now a more matured team in the CL, and that's all round, i mean in every department, not just because of Erling Haaland, the team now knows when to sit back and defend and when to go on all attack, and we saw that side of City against Bayern Munich in the QF 2nd leg. City are going to go through to the final, they are better prepared for Real Madrid and they are beginning to accrue the well needed experience to win games such as this.

I can agree with you about a point that Manchester City were still really strong last season despite not having Erling Haaland. Especially in Etihad there was a goal duel between them and Real Madrid as far as I can remember - it finished by 4-3. The problem was in Santiago Bernabeu. In fact they got ahead first then but Real Madrid's comeback in only two minutes in the last moments was amazing and this was the turning point for Real Madrid at the same time.

I don't say it was totally by luck of course as Real Madrid also made a big effort. However their luck was also making an extra contribution in the second leg. This time I think that Real Madrid wouldn't be able to repeat this scenario in a similar situation as it is an a little rare incident in football. Besides Manchester City can make sure of it thanks to Haaland's beast mode also.

I'm not sure how to put this into words, but Real Madrid has something different from any other team when it plays the Champions League, you can say it's tradition, luck, magic...I don't know

I agree with several of you when you say that Manchester City is much more prepared for the Champions League, and in my opinion they are the team that is playing better and very deserving of winning that first title.
I am thinking a lot about who to bet on for the qualification and I am almost decided to bet on Manchester City, but there is always that doubt if Vini Jr, Benzema or Rodrygo can do something amazing.
Halaand is a very strong point for M. City because in a few minutes he has the ability to do just like Benzema and Rodrygo did last season, practically win a match "all by himself", even with the team not playing a good match.

Something also worries me that many times teams like M City do an almost perfect championship and when they face Real Madrid they lose. And Real Madrid is the opposite, they start badly, a bit discredited, get in a "crisis" and suddenly they are in the final.

In the match between Inter and Milan I don't have a good guess even though I have also watched some good matches from both teams.
And I think the champion will be one of the two teams from the M. City vs Real Madrid match.
Anyway I am analyzing here the best bet to make in the semi final.

[Awaklara]

Inter milan has dominated the match against ac milan in the last 5 meetings between the two, where inter milan was able to end 3 matches with a win and 1 defeat and 1 draw which made the bookies give odds for inter milan as the winner in match.

in the Champions League a team that looks unfavorable can also give their best game and surprise everyone. I will probably favor Milan to qualify for the Finals. but there are still doubts also to make a bet. maybe I'll wait for a closer time. before the meeting between the two in the Champions League, there are still several matches in Serie A. there are still several possibilities that could happen. but I still hope that both of them will compete with the best strategy and best squad.

[KTChampions]

Bookmakers give a slight preference to Inter:

To Qualify

AC Milan 2.14

Inter Milano 1.71

But in my opinion it will be a completely random game - literally randomness will decide everything, like who is lucky to score first or something like that. By the way, Milan are above Inter in the standings and Inter have a monstrous 11 defeats in Serie A... Milan seems to be the correct bet.

To be honest. Im a bit confusing seeing how bookies favoring intermilan rather than ac milan. i do know that if playing away or home won't give impact as the match will always be happening in san siro soon. Intermilan was just winning with lukaku has been showing his great performance again.

What you have said was also true if milan is above inter right now. I may also think of picking ac milan rather than intermilan.



I think that bookies may see the result from previous matches as the reference why bookies favoring intermilan compared with ac milan. As yo can see that if intermilan was quite dominating the duel in the previous matches.

Historical statistics can be interpreted in different ways. For example, when I see such a series of results, I think: is Inter better than Milan enough to dominate like this? I don't think so. These are just fluctuations (and this is confirmed by other results of the teams this season). The second question is: can this skew in results continue indefinitely (for at least two more games)? It seems to me that no. Therefore, I believe that the chances of teams are 50 to 50%, and this means that it is correct to bet on an outsider.

AC Milan and Inter Milan sometimes don't turn out as expected, that might make me doubtful, especially in deciding which club to bet on. meeting records will also sometimes be very different from the results of the latest matches, they are also clubs that can be said to be balanced with each other. Also in Serie A they don't have a statistically significant difference, either from wins, draws or defeats, also in terms of goal productivity they look the same, only slightly different. Maybe Inter Milan has lost more, but on the other hand AC milan has had more draws than Inter Milan.

[naira]

I think this time it will be different and it won't be that easy for Real Madrid as it was last year.The addition to Haaland to Manchester City clearly has made them a much better team as they eliminated Bayern Munchen that easy and Bayern Munchen had not lost a single game up until the faced Manchester City.

Also Real Madrid had an easy opponent like Chelsea as they did not go full power to beat them and we don't know the real power of Real Madrid but for me this time Manchester City is going to qualify and why not have a go to win the Champions League.

Well, everything has a possibility even if you are optimistic about Manchester City in the end, no one knows. Indeed Manchester City this season is quite convincing and not only the Champions League trophy and other competitions such as the English League they are favored even though Arsenal are currently leading but Manchester City potential to follow is very promising. Then in the FA Cup final against Manchester United as well as a trophy that is closer to achieving. So if this season Manchester City wins 3 trophies at once, it will record them in new history as the Treble Winner.

It won't be easy for Real Madrid to beat Manchester City to secure a semi-final victory. When I consider the comparative performance aspect, I see that Manchester City is ahead of Real Madrid one. But since it's the Champions League semi-final, I think the two teams here are strong. However, the team which is strategically ahead is expected to secure victory.

[rahmad2nd]

Inter Milan had a better performance compared to Ac Milan and in the last five games between these two teams Inter Milan won three games while Ac MIlan won only one match and they had a draw, but Ac MIlan had an amazing performance recently against Napoli and they have improved their performance that's why I think A MIlan can have a better chance.

It seems, the Milan derby match is quite interesting. I see it, the two teams are on a balanced level. although if we refer to the H2H of these two teams, Inter dominates over Milan based on 5 meetings. but it looks like this time the result will be different. and if, we refer to the statistics of these two teams in their domestic league. in fact, there are not many significant differences between these two teams. it's just that, when referring to the game. IMO, Milan is better than Inter. yes, in my opinion, Milan is better. it's just that Inter is more focused on the defensive system.

As we know, that Simone Inzaghi always applies the 3-5-2 pattern. it seemed, he had no other strategy other than using that formation. so, don't be surprised if in this match later. Milan dominated and controlled the ball possession. even so, we can't be sure which team is eligible to qualify for the next phase.  although Milan is better based on the game, Inter is stronger in defense. yes, let's wait how later. at the same time, waiting for the latest information for these two teams.

[AakZaki]

AC Milan has won the Champions League 7 times. is the second club that has the most Champions League trophies after Real Madrid. while the first position in the acquisition of the most trophies is still held by Real Madrid with a total of 14 trophies. So that Ac Milan and Real Madrid are the two teams that do have the most experience in winning titles in the Champions League. and now AC Milan has the opportunity to advance to the final and fight for the trophy this season. But I see that AC Milan is currently not good enough to win the title this season.

Interestingly, in Serie A they are only in fifth and sixth positions. They are only candidates for the Europa League, not UCl. It is difficult to predict the result of the next game. They weren't seeded but they made it to the semi-finals. Actually, the final too early is Real Madrid against Man City. They were supposed to meet in the final. The final will not be interesting if one of City or Madrid meets Inter or Milan, a boring final.

[HajiBagi]

Yeah most likely, there are many factors that determine the club is favorite or underdog, head to head are one of the factor. But San Siro is the AC Milan's home, if Inter Milan play, the stadium is named Giuseppe Meazza.

I still don't agree AC Milan will able to beat Inter Milan, Inter Milan is well rounded club while AC Milan only relying Leao and Giroud. Giroud is currently injured, so that's might the behind reason why AC Milan is underdog in this match. But Giroud is expected able to play in early May, maybe the odds will be changed when the date already closer with the match.

Inter milan has dominated the match against ac milan in the last 5 meetings between the two, where inter milan was able to end 3 matches with a win and 1 defeat and 1 draw which made the bookies give odds for inter milan as the winner in match.

So, if you see that opportunity, I think the bookies has given the right oods in the meeting between the two in the Champions League semifinals. but in their performance in Serie A, Inter Milan is lagging behind AC Milan in the standings table, but that is not a strong reference if AC Milan is better than them.

 Since AC Milan has already defeated Napoli, there is no question that they can also defeat Inter Milan. They have been playing very seriously this season and have won most of their games against teams we couldn't have imagined. Since Napoli is a much stronger team than Inter Milan, AC Milan victory over them shouldn't come as a surprise if they go on to defeat Inter in the champions league semifinals this season.

The game will be quite interesting because Inter Milan also has fantastic players who can play and who are also in form, particularly Lukaku, who is physically fit to also score, but Ac Milan are much more well-equipped offensively than inter Milan.
