UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[BITCOIN4X]

I don't think its that easy to stop this Manchester city midfield when you have brilliant players like  Kevin de bryune playing and making sure that all passes reaches the beast of a striker HAALAND. Real Madrid are no doubt king of the champion league but there is always a time a king is dethroned and with Manchester at this peak and definitely do damage to real Madrid. The champion league winner is no doubt any team that succeeds between this two giants.

This season you can expect something different from Manchester City. Their form looks convincing at the moment even though Real Madrid are a very strong team to say they will lose before the game. I'm not too worried about Manchester City because they just need to work hard without worrying about losing, I mean they have to play to win and give the best of everything they have.

I believe that Manchester City's chances of beating Real Madrid this season are good, and I think their readiness is also quite good compared to last season. Haaland is a threat to Real Madrid's defence, he has to prove that.

Another 1.5 weeks to wait and then the semi-finals of the CL will be on the doorstep. A lot of spectacle at the Real Madrid - Manchester City match? I suspect so. We could see 2 very boring matches in the duel between Inter Milan and AC milan, but who would come out victorious in the end? AC Milan has eliminated Napoli, which requires a strong game. Inter Milan has been able to take a much easier route on paper, but that is also part of it. I think both teams have no chance for a possible final, but it also makes a difference whether you play against Manchester City or Real Madrid. I also don't remember one of the 2 Milan teams playing against Manchester City recently? That seems like a fairly hopeless mission normally.

In my opinion, that's not all that makes Modric so important he is the best Croatian national team player ever and at the same time won the Ballon D'or, then Madrid supporting players like Valverde and Camavinga, make Modric suitable in all conditions who believe in his ball game. On the front line, of course, there is Benzema flanked by Rodigo and Vini Jr. There is no doubt that Madrid's composition is so ideal and solid. Against Man City was a test for all Madrid players to further improve their abilities, but on the other hand, as Pep Guardiola said, if you want to win the Champions League trophy, the first thing you have to do is get rid of Madrid. It means that Pep Guardiola is aware and learns from the defeat he experienced against the king of UCL. Not only having quality players but the level of skill in controlling mentally when under pressure from opponents is able to play calmly.

Real Madrid have completed all position except with center forward where Karim Benzema not have compete back up, for midfielder have many players between main and substitute with the same quality. For midfielder, Madrid has many option and there are not difficult if Modric or Toni Kroos have absent. But difference against Manchester City exactly Haaland, I worry who will give huge pressure for this player will enough with Militao or Madrid need use three center defender from Miliato, Alaba and Rudiger how to make Haaland can't have space for scoring goals.

Manchester City performance this season difference than last season performance where Real  Madrid success eliminated them on semifinal stage.

Manchester City performance this season difference than last season performance where Real  Madrid success eliminated them on semifinal stage.

Last season it was actually impossible that Real Madrid could still qualify. Losing 1-0 at Manchester City is no shame, but in Madrid they also fell 0-1 at home and it had to take until the 89th minute before it finally became 1-1. And 2 minutes later it was suddenly 2-1 for Madrid, but in the phase before City had some huge chances to make it 0-2. If City starts playing again like last year in Madrid, Madrid will have a very tough time, but Madrid is a team that can recharge for such games and always have a different level in the CL than in regular competitions. It would be nice if Real Madrid reached the final again for the 2nd time in a row. If Madrid makes it to the final, I think it's always the bookmakers' favourite, regardless of who they're playing against (Inter or AC Milan).

I feel Real Madrid are at the brink of being dethroned from the Champions League title this season. Just watch the spectacular performance of Manchester city this season, you’ll only support that  Manchester city will win the champions league title this season. Pep once said, the only reason he hasn’t won the champions league with Manchester city is because Real Madrid is always there. But I’m sure this season, the feeling is not the same and Manchester city will be able to challenge Real Madrid to victory in this Champions League semifinals.

I heard Pep Guardiola is curse, atleast that's what podcaster say due to his misunderstanding with Yaya Touré and his agent way back, maybe this is the year to break that curse since their next opponents aren't in their best shape compared to other seasons. Real Madrid can't defeat Manchester city, they are desperate for the champion league trophy. Pep Guardiola and his boys has won everything locally and now they want to dominate Europe and to do that they have to win the champion league before moving on to win other competition that comes as a result of winning the champions league.

I just hope Haaland gets the ballon d'Or that he'll truely deserve after Manchester city achieved all this and not ghosting messi that has been silent since his one months glory at the world cup that were just filled with favored penalty he scored. I just feel if any club can defend the champions league trophy in this post Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi era, it has to be Pep Guardiola boys and to achieve that, they first have to win the competition which they'll be doing by eliminating their biggest competition which is Real Madrid.

If Madrid makes it to the final, I think it's always the bookmakers' favorite, regardless of who they're playing against (Inter or AC Milan).

From last season or now, Manchester City always has a big chance to win, but it doesn't rule out that the opponent is Real Madrid. Now it can be reversed to see the positive trend of Manchester City which has the potential to win 3 trophies at once. The FA Cup is in sight, the Premier League leaves only a narrow gap from Arsenal and it is certain that it will fall again into the hands of Manchester City because Arsenal's role is only to maintain the top of the standings.

Then his task at UCL is to conquer Madrid, if he succeeds in conquering then against Inter or AC Milan even though Manchester City will be the favorites. Regardless, we're back again Madrid is Madrid and it's very unpredictable when facing a team as great as Manchester City. Even though having Haaland doesn't mean that Ancelotti doesn't have a ready strategy. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola also anticipates that if Haaland movement is locked, then De Bruyne, Mahrez, Bernando, Foden, Grealish, and Gondogan can all be said to have fairly average skills and that will be an expanding task for Madrid's defense.

[AakZaki]

quality-wise Inter Milan and AC Milan are very even and I don't think anyone has a greater percentage of qualifying for the final because both have the same possibility.
if you look at it mentally and confidently, I think the AC Milan team is better because in terms of experience the team at the UCL stage AC Milan is better than Inter Milan in the past even though this will not have a big effect for now.

for betting options we have different speculations, but personally I will bet on AC Milan in this semifinal match because the odds are big and the odds are the same so I think it's quite worth it for a bet that will win more money.

Inter and Milan are the same in Serie A. Inter are only better above it. It's hard to predict who will win, but there might be a boring final in June. Maybe Milan are more experienced in UCL. They have a better history than Inter. But history will not affect tomorrow's Semi-final match. Because of course statistics will only strengthen the confidence of players, not make a benchmark for winning matches. The last two games of 2023 Inter have always won, even Milan could not make a goal in those two games.

Ancelotti known as most successful coach in UCL.

Carlo Ancelotti comes from Arrigo Sacchi's Milan, who was the boss of the Champions League at the time
He has considerable experience not only as a coach but also as a player, so he knows how to navigate this competition very well.
I think he will win again this year.

Ancelotti is one of the most successful coaches in the champions league and Real Madrid is one of the most successful teams in the champions league that's the reason most people think Real Madrid should win the champions league title this season while in the next game, they are going to play against Manchester City where there is no hope for them with the current situation.

But Manchester City also has a coach who also has good experience in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola is also a coach who has experienced great success in the Champions League, namely when he coached Barcelona. But yeah, in terms of winning a trophy in the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti is indeed superior and has far more experience. but Ped Guardiola's ambition to bring Manchester City to win the Champions League trophy this season seems to be difficult to contain. Manchester city has carefully prepared everything. And I have a feeling Man City will deliver on that this season.

If any of these teams have experience in the champions league before, that should be a past glory by now. We’ll likely have a boring final. The match between these two shouldn’t have happened now but rather they should both meet either Real Madrid or Manchester City individually . The Real Madrid and Manchester City match is the real talk now, as we all know the outcome of the winner in that match will certainly win the champions league this season.

Ancelotti is one of the most successful coaches in the champions league and Real Madrid is one of the most successful teams in the champions league that's the reason most people think Real Madrid should win the champions league title this season while in the next game, they are going to play against Manchester City where there is no hope for them with the current situation.

If they can defeat Manchester City on the field, they still have a chance. Up until the referee blows the last whistle, there is still hope. Real Madrid is a side with a lot of experience, so Manchester City will need to put in additional effort if they want to win. They could only lose with a single error. I think Pep has prepared his team well for the match, but we can completely declare anyone the winner till the game is over.

The problem is not just one player, but Manchester City's style of play itself. They are very fast, and English football in general is like that, but you are right, in the past Real Madrid did well with that, but I think the situation is completely different now, Manchester City as a whole has become stronger, even without the presence of Haaland, it will be a difficult match, but very interesting

Inter Milan and ac milan this season in Italian League is just the same in performance,  the both teams shows same quality that is hard to predict winner.  Inter and Milan meeting in Champions league again will be interesting  to see who will be successful in the game here in Champions league.

Manchester City chances are quite big this season if we compare it to the previous season. I think they just need to work to prove it, I hope Manchester City can win the first leg because it will give them a big chance. But in the statistics of the meeting between the two, Manchester City was able to dominate the victory and this was a big motivation for Haaland et al to steal victory at the Bernabeu stadium.

Indeed, Manchester City has 3 opportunities to get a trophy this season, and even those three have big enough consequences to achieve it. Pep Guardiola has been backed by the perfect squad this season and he needs little in the way of beating the reigning champions.

The Champions League match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will not be easy for Manchester City as many people has thought. This is because the same style of football, which you say that Manchester City play is the same type of ball that Madrid plays also.
If you look at both teams, they all play forward passes and they are also fast and they have very good finishers and good midfeeders.
It is really going to be a difficult one for Manchester City even if Bookmakers have chosen them to be the favourites.

these two teams are equally strong it will be difficult to determine who will be the winner but yes they have clear differences in their squad. Even for Manchester City they have Halland which can provide important meaning for their progress this season. but one of the difficult things for them is beating real madrid at the bernabeu stadium because the first leg is the most crucial match for both teams.

I see Real Madrid's performance this season is quite strong in the Champions League. They have eliminated two teams from the EPL and they have strong ambitions to be able to get rid of Manchester City in the semifinals.

Manchester City performance this season difference than last season performance where Real  Madrid success eliminated them on semifinal stage.

Manchester City's great advantage is that they don't just depend on a single player to play well, they all have very good players, even when Haaland isn't playing they manage to get good results, and Real Madrid have problems in defense, that's enough. we see that in the last la liga games real madrid has conceded at least 2 goals, with this bad defense of theirs it will be an open door to concede a lot of goals when they play against Manchester City, but there is another important point, the Manchester City coach without a doubt that he will keep his focus on winning the premier league, as soon as he reaches a situation where he has the same points with arsenal and there are few games left for the premier league final

so the manager of Manchester City will be forced to spare players to win the premier league, I saw an interview on the tv channel where he explained about it, and said that the premier league was more important to win so it was clear that if they are in a situation where who have to choose the premiership and the champions league they will spare players in the champions league game, while real madrid doesn't have much chance of winning la liga this season because yesterday barcelona won and see that barcelona scored 4 goals and conceded none

it is true that barcelona benefited because Betis was left with 10 players at 33 minutes, but real madrid conceded 2 goals, before that game they conceded 4 goals, in two games real madrid conceded 6 goals and against weak teams

[ilovealtcoins]

Real Madrid's midfield is very strong. Every player in the midfield is talented and experienced. Madrid's strong performance has a lot to do with their midfielders. If Luka Modric is sidelined for the match against Manchester City, Madrid does not have a suitable replacement. Apart from Luka Modric, Ancelotti has to develop his match strategy. If the match strategy is good, maybe the Madrid team will not miss Modrich during the match.

I have no idea why many people keep mentioning Luka Modric, this guy is really overrated.
He's already old, you can see his performance isn't that good anymore like the last year. Real Madrid currently depends on Kroos and Valverde, there's no other player has stable performance like both of them. Ancelotti will put a big hope to Camavinga and Tchouameni for playing this big match, since it looks like a gambling, I don't really believe they will beat Manchester City.
Manchester City has De Bruyne, Gundongan, Rodri and Silva, four of them are in the same level like Kroos and Valverde.

I never thought Luka Modric was overrated. He is an excellent player. He is one of the key players in the Real Madrid squad. Croatia also performed well in the World Cup. And thanks to Luka Modric, Croatia's performance was steady. I don't think this player is overrated at all. However, his performance has slightly deteriorated compared to last season. Because he is now 37 years old. Yet the world has few experienced midfielders like Luka Modric.

[Despairo]

The best footballer in the world in 2018 and one of the best footballers in the history of Real is overrated? Think about it again.

It's like Ronaldo who was the the best player in 2008, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, also one of the best footballers in Real Madrid, but now he's already nothing. The difference Ronaldo and Modric is, Ronaldo's contract wasn't get extended and Modric is still get extended.

In such big and important matches, it is very important not to succumb to emotions and pressure and to control the game. That is why it is very important to have experienced players in the midfield like Modric.

It's true if experience is important especially he's play at central midfielder position, but he get beaten by a prime and younger midfielders if we talk about the speed and stamina. On the other hands, Manchester City's midfielder have all of those criteria.

That's why, Real Madrid is a good club, but Manchester City is better than them.

That's why, Real Madrid is a good club, but Manchester City is better than them.

First of all, I would say that experience plays a major role in Champions League matches. It is much tougher to perform well in the Champions League if the squad is not experienced enough. And we have seen proof of this in various past matches. And so Madrid needed an experienced midfielder like Luka Modrich in this match. Ancelotti cannot fill Luka Modric's void with any other player.
But if we compare Manchester City vs Madrid midfield then I would say City midfield is stronger. City has talented players like De Bruyne, Gundogan, Silva, and Phillips in their squad. Everyone is a great player. But Modric and Toni Kroos are very experienced. Madrid's midfielder duo is also capable of excellent performances.

[Gosgosking]

The game will be a shock to many people,  many people always think Manchester City can always do better than Real Madrid,  this same way people concluded about Manchester City but Real Madrid won the  game. This time  it won't still be easy for Manchester city,  Real Madrid is  not  as easy as people thought.
