UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Pokapoka124]

Benzema is even better compared with haaland. If we are seeing based on the history and benzema has ever won ballon d'or as the best striker. It's not only benzema. You shall remember that if there are so many players in madrid who have same capability to make the goals. Valverde, rodrygo, Vini and many more. I remember when rodrygo was destroying manchester city last season by creating comeback against real madrid. Manchester city is strong but im thinking now if real madrid is in another level compared with manchester city. The consistency of real madrid is also very good at this moment. Madrid has won a trophy and it may increase as madrid become even closer to the copa del rey and UCL. Glad to see that if bookies were favoring city instead of real madrid.
That makes me feel so good with


Camavinga may also try to prevent haaland. It has alaba as well who is ready to block haaland's movement. Haaland has a good physic, but it doesn't mean if he can't be stopped.

Despite Haaland's outstanding stats for Manchester City, I still think it wouldn't be appropriate to compare him to Karim Benzema who is a Ballon D'or winner and has proven himself and stayed consistent for decades playing top competitions. Haaland is still very young and has many years ahead of him. Both players will face themselves when they meet again in semi final of the champions league, it will be tough one as both clubs will be playing for history sake, City will be hoping to making history for themselves and Real Madrid will be fighting to maintain their champions league legacy.

Real Madrid has had a bad performance recently. At the weekend, they lost 4-2 to an easy team like Girona at home. I think Manchester City are the favorites of the early final match. Also, I just watched İlkay Gündoğan's interview. He said that he was very excited because the UEFA Champions League final match was in Istanbul. He wants to win a trophy in Istanbul.

[Oluwa-btc]

Madrid is a killer for EPL clubs.

Even if Real Madrid are playing poorly in the La Liga, they can still win Manchester City that are playing very well and were able to remove Bayern Munich. Just as the game between Manchester City and Arsenal is considered the finals in the premier league, this game between Real Madrid and Manchester City will majorly determine who wins the Champions league. Both teams have quality in their team and have advantage whenever they play at home, it will be a very interesting game, Benzema on one end, Halland on the other. De Bruyne at one end, Modric at the other. Grealish at one end, Vini Jr at the other. 

For this season Real Madrid really have seemed solid against the Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea in the play offs. However there is a reason behind their being this much dominant as well. Because Liverpool and Chelsea are both having a terrible season now. Chelsea are in an even worse condition in the Premier League for example. We should take this fact into account as well.

However Manchester City are the complete opposite of these two clubs this season. They are like unstoppable recently at the same time. Like I said before Haaland is the biggest change in the club for this season and his impact on the club is so big that he is going to be remembered as a very special player in the club history.

Who's Erling Haaland without KDB? Bernado Silva, Okay Gundogan, Jack Grealish, This are players who work so hard for the young lad, yes he remains a very special player but he'll never get to achieve those large number of goals without these mentioned player's.

And as for Real Madrid, Ancellotti and his magic works very well in the champions league, the Italian is so brilliant when it comes to that aspect. But I won't expect much against Manchester City, This time around the difference is Erling Haaland, and I'm seeing that lad score three to.four goals alone against them. They better sit up, I wasn't happy with the way they played last night.

The match between the two teams will be extremely difficult, and I can't even predict the result because both teams are performing well in the Champion League. Real Madrid may perform poorly in the domestic league, but we don't know what they can do in the Champion League because they typically play a surprise games. If you look at the games from the previous season, Manchester City were also strong, and Real Madrid defeated them, so I think we shouldn't predict the result.

Real Madrid seems to be fortunate each time they play against Manchester City. In terms of quality and consistency City is better than Real Madrid and the former has more quality players than the latter this season. But I think the winner of the match will be largely dependent on the technical acumen of both coaches because the two clubs are sound. It is also important that both teams ensure that their key players are fit for the game. If Benzema or Vini Jr. misses the game, it will have dire consequences on Real Madrid. This will be the case if City fails to field players like Haaland or De Bryune.

The majority of people think that Real Madrid can be defeated by Manchester City in the semifinal, but we should all keep in mind that there are two legs to every match, and I think Real Madrid teams give it their all in the champions league.

For me, Manchester City will qualify for the finals because of their performance in both the EPL and other competitions. The seem more stable and consistent than Real Madrid this season. I am predicting that the goal main will be high.

I admit Real Madrid is the King of Europe, they are the team with the most Champions League trophy collections. But this season Real Madrid's appearance has begun to experience a decline in performance. Against Manchester City, of course, you have to be prepared with a high performance. This season, The Citizens have a fairly complete squad, all lines look pretty good. I am also very confident that the British representative will be able to win the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid got many champions league titles before and they are known for their success in this tournament but during this season Real Madrid had not a good performance in La Liga and even right now when there are some games left for this season they have had no luck to win the title because the gap they have between themselves and top of the table, I think this time they will have a hard day against Manchester City.

What Madrid needs to pay attention to in this regard is fitness now. They must continue to look after their players until their semi-final clash with Manchester City begins.
Losing Benzema has backfired for them in the last few matches, especially yesterday, which had to be destroyed by Girona.
They are still very capable of winning like last season but with the condition that their players must be able to do their best in the future.

well, the fitness factor of the players is indeed very important for a team. but unfortunately at this time several Real Madrid players seem to be recovering from injury. but based on the news I've read at least all their players will recover next week. and at least they will also be ready in the champions league semi final. but Real Madrid's inconsistency in Laliga is something to pay attention to. it's just that sometimes Real Madrid makes a surprise in the Champions League like last season. they actually almost lost in the semi-finals. but they recovered at the end of the second leg match and qualified for the final.

One good thing about Real Madrid. Is that no matter how poor they are formed is in the Spanish La Liga. Once it comes to Champions League, they must surely prove that they have the experience and the spirit to play the league.
This is coupled with their world class coach that has bunches of experience in the Champions League.
So Real Madrid last match that they lost woefully should not deceive anyone to begin underrate them in the Champions League.
In as much as it is Champions League and the Real Madrid is involved. Nobody should count them out, they are always the favourites.

Manchester City proved itself tonight against Arsenal, They proved they can be dangerous for Real Madrid and any other teams in the champions league, but the interesting thing about the game between Real Madrid and Manchester City is the history of these two teams in the Champions League, we know Real Madrid achievement many trophies before in champions league while Mancshter City never played in the champions league final match.

ancellotti kept some important players as preparation for the match against manchester city. Benzema is very healthy right now to play in full game against manchester city, this gonna be the most difficult match caused by we do know that how strong manchester city right now.
It's likely that if real madrid will be facing a tough game like last season. haaland was making the challenge for real madrid become even bigger as he was the best striker in EPL right now.

It's likely that the outcome from this match is very hard to predict. I may still pick my favorite club real madrid over manchester city. Manchester city has very impressive performances in EPL.
It's always winning EPL. The same challenge for real madrid before it will able to take UCL again like last season. Will ancellotti use the new strategy against manchester city?

Haaland becomes the main concern by ancellotti right now.

[bitgolden]

I have no doubt about any of the teams qualifying for the final as both sides have played very well to have reached this stage and also have met previously and City was eliminated from reaching the final the 94th-minute penalty from Karim Benzema sealed, the most not likely to happen comeback from the Spanish champions. to break city's hearts nobody expected a late drama to come when  city made the opening breakthrough city lowered their guard, energy, and intensity over that game, and Madrid took advantage of it, just as you rightly stated that Madrid knows how to get over pressure, man city made mistake and the learned the bitter way. They won't make sure mistake again they now understand that Madrid attacking display in particular is a reminder of their enduring threat and this has made them build their performance against Madrid with their current form Madrid defence so far has been poor and. Haaland is a complete weapon of how a striker should be will be mounting pressure on the defense of Madrid, I can tell you that, yes it is going to be a tough match between the two, but Manchester City would be playing in the final.

The funniest part is that the highest two odds are for teams that will face each other in semi finals. Basically odds are saying that whoever wins this matchup will win the title, that is a lot better to see. However, I wish that we had City and Madrid face the other two teams, and then they end up facing each other at the finals, we all know that football world would love that over what we have right now.

In the end, we are talking about teams that are just worried about the current situations and the matchups. Both series are like that, Milan and Inter are not obviously better than each other, so they are as close as it gets and anyone could win, same goes for City and Madrid, anyone could win that and there could be winner in any of them in the end as well.

Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League, so I think they are the best and will still have the chance to repeat their success even if they are not satisfied in La Liga. This season Real Madrid lost the La Liga title which is already more likely when Barcelona have an 11 point advantage in the standings, but in the Champions League they will not be too much in doubt because of his experience.

I personally think that this season Manchester City's chances of beating Real Madrid in the semi-finals are also very good. Real Madrid excel in experience and quality of players, but Manchester City come with motivation, confidence, team quality and high desire about the title they have dreamed of for so long. I hope Manchester City can win it this season instead of doubting it every season.

There is no need to doubt Real Madrid's experience because they have been successful in this competition. We see Real Madrid as the strongest candidate ever when they were in the UCL and for sure when they will play in the semifinals later it will be even more crucial for them.
Regarding LaLiga there is no hope and it has been confirmed that it will belong to Barcelona for the trophy, on the other hand Real Madrid can still chase the UCL which may be history will be etched again.

I personally think that this season Manchester City's chances of beating Real Madrid in the semi-finals are also very good. Real Madrid excel in experience and quality of players, but Manchester City come with motivation, confidence, team quality and high desire about the title they have dreamed of for so long. I hope Manchester City can win it this season instead of doubting it every season.

I see how Manchester City is currently really solid, we also have the same desire to favor Manchester City in this semifinal by looking at Manchester City's performance so far, there has never been any doubt.
We had to see last season how Real Madrid could come back in the second leg and this is a concern for Manchester City fans because dealing with Real Madrid is not an easy matter even though Manchester City is having great performances at the moment.

Real madrid is ranked first when to comes to winning the UCL trophy and they've been proud of their achievement over the years. The Los blancos might not been in good form in their domestic league but whenever it comes to champions league, the players posses different high level spirit which they triggered against their opponents. Facing Manchester city in the semi final is a tough one, countless gambling slips have been place for either clubs to advance to the finals, and I hope Madrid got their first within their reach this season.

[Bobrox]

Looks like the Champions League final this season is little less interesting seeing the semifinal draw, Real Madrid and Manchester City have to face each other in the semifinals and Inter or Milan will be one of the teams that qualify for the final. Its seems interested if Madrid or Manchester City will face each other on final stage but both team have draw in semifinal.

Can't sure with Madrid will success lead to final stage this season although have experienced eliminated Manchester City last season on semifinal, has difference composition with Manchester City this season exactly Erling Haaland will be serious problem for Madrid's defender actually he lead top scorer awhile in  Champion League after scoring 12 goals.

I have a prediction that Real Madrid will qualify for the Champions League final. Yes, it's possible that Man City currently has a reliable team like Haaland, but that doesn't mean Man City is ready to qualify for the finals, while City doesn't have experience in winning this champion's league.
and it is clear that there are only e possibilities that will qualify for the finals like Real Madrid, Inter Milan or AC Milan.
the three big experienced teams in the champion's league are the ones who deserve to qualify for the final round and who already have the experience of winning the champion's league title.
for me Man City is too early to win the champions league.

I am now starting to doubt Real Madrid's superiority in the semi-final match against Man City. because Real Madrid even suffered a pretty bad defeat at Laliga. they lost 4-2 to Girona. And this is very different from Man City who actually continues to have very impressive wins in the Premier League. Even Man city has a big victory because it managed to beat Arsenal with a score of 4-1. after seeing this I will probably favor Man city in the semi-final match later.

Real madrid is called as king of UCL. Real madrid is always consistently winning UCL from year to another year. I called that if real madrid is the best team in europa. it's caused by how consistent real madrid to win UCL. Its performance never slow down.
This team ream madrid must have faced the same opponents that already beaten by real madrid last year. Manchester city will not also try to let real madrid to go to the final easily. I think that if real madrid will be trying to put the focus into the two players that have always become the key of manchester city. KDB and haaland have been known as the main brain from city. It's caused by KDB was always creating very good assist and goals while haaland is consistently making so many goals in any match.
Im also having the same hope like you to see real madrid will able to win UCL again in a row. that will be showing how big the domination of real madrid in UCL.

It's normal if we doubt Real Madrid this season, they don't perform like the Real Madrid I know. But speaking of the Champions League we have to remember that Real Madrid often makes us distrust the results of matches, and that could have happened in this match. Manchester City is now better than Real madrid, in the local league or in the Champions League, they always show great performance. Especially now that they are in front to win the Premier League, and surely they want to do the same here.

I think that you shall try to put this as the main concern. Madrid played without

- benzema
- curtois

In another case, Andriy Lunin has been showing the worst performance against girona. Ancelotti already said if he is willing to sell him in summer and replace him with a modern keeper that can perform better performance than him.

Real Madrid’s back-up goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is once again under the microscope after Real Madrid were thumped 4-2 by Girona on Tuesday night.

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/04/26/real-madrid-youngster-andriy-lunin-under-pressure-again-after-conceding-four-goals-to-girona
Ancelotti was feeling very disappointed with him after real madridn conceded 4 goals against the same guy who has been making a new record, valentin castellanos.

It will be far better if ancelotti will try to aim to get mendy or kepa from chelsea. To be honest, if any keepers that owned by chelsea is always performing so well. it has been proven from how curtois has become very good keeper for madrid.
