UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

Both teams has quite a record in the Champions league although Real Madrid have dropped drastically in terms of form and Manchester City on the other hand are showing huge improvement this season. I think Real Madrid will be facing a tough test going head to head against this formidable Manchester City team.

I don't even think if real madrid has been dropping so hard. I meant we are talking about UCL. Real madrid may be having bad results in the previous matches on la liga but it's quite different when it comes to the UCL. Real madrid is still having good win rate at this moment as well as manchester city. Ancelotti is putting a lot of his focus in the match against manchester city caused by it will become the hardest match for real madrid. It will be even far harder compared with the match against barcelona. Real Madrid needs to take serious preparation right now.

De bruyne is coming back right now. Real madrid needs to use everything to stop haaland. Haaland is the main problem for real madrid. As long as real madrid knew how to stop him and it's gonna be a very important thing for madrid to win the game against city in santiago bernabeu.

I think that Manchester City is the favorite to qualify further in this encounter.I am not in any way underestimating Real Madrid as they have won Champions League more than any other team and not for nothing they are called the team Queen of Europe but because this time simply Manchester City has better quality players than Real does with all due respect to Real.

Manchester City was near eliminating them last year when their quality was not the same as this year and they lost it I don't know why in the last 3 minutes of the second encounter but I know this most likely won't happen again.

If we look at the current odds, Manchester City is actually the favorite if you look at the bookies' predictions, but on the other hand, something like this is not something that will definitely make them qualify for the final.
Currently Madrid is the defending champion and playing at the Bernabeu with odds of 3.20 is of course very tempting.

Apart from Haaland's existence at Manchester City which is being touted as a differentiator, in my opinion this is too much of a wishful thinking because of course Madrid is also not a weak team that will let Haaland move as he pleases in this match.

[Zanab247]

This semi-final deserves a final and I hope that City this time can convert and keep their advantage against Real because last time it was a very upsetting loss when they conceded twice at the very end and let Real beat them. All Guardiola had to do at that time was calm their players and just bring the match to victory, but this is a bitter experience, which I am sure was a good lesson for them.

Man City's performance this season is of course very good, and is one of the best clubs this season. Haaland's existence as a regular goalscorer this season has become the basis for Man City to win the Champions League title this season. But Real Madrid will do whatever it takes to win the game, I'm sure Haaland can't do much. Haaland will get a hard tackle, so this condition makes Haaland frustrated.

Well, am not a fans of Manchester city but based on their good results in this season show, that Real Madrid don't have the power to stop Manchester city not to win this champions league title because they way Manchester city beat their opponent to qualified for semi-finals made people to believed that they are capable to win this title. Erling Haaland is a kind of player you cannot stop not to showcase his talents in the public because, he has the skills to do more excellent things in this game to score the winning goals for Manchester city to beat Real Madrid 2:0. Not that Real Madrid are not good in this season but Manchester city are very good to beat Real Madrid in any competition in this season.

We can't say the results they got in La Liga are not important and they just focused on the champions league because if they lose the La Liga games and lose the place in the second position of the league they will not bad atmosphere in their team because these bad results and we can't expect to see them winning the game against Macnshter City like that.

Not that Real Madrid are not good in this season but Manchester city are very good to beat Real Madrid in any competition in this season.

Manchester City is currently the hottest team in Europe at the moment and I don't think it's an arguable fact. They're tearing opponents apart as if they're play with more than 11 players on the pitch.
But  UEFA Champions League competition is a competition that Real Madrid knows how to play and statistics backs the factual fact. Real Madrid is not just the most successful club in the competition but they're gonna face a club that has not lifted club football's most prestigious trophy. Manchester City is undoubtedly on fire but how well can they maintain their current form against Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid? I think it'll be their season's most difficult task

[Zackgeno96]

It's almost time and we're going to see the great match between Real Madrid and Manchester City. At least, I think this will be a great game. Manchester City have failed to win the CL for a few years in a row. Last year they should have won the title, but also in the year they played the final against Chelsea they should have won the title. It's a wonder that City still haven't won the title, but the bookmakers still think City is the favourite. Inter Milan - AC Milan is not a match that will result in clean football. It's all about the result for both teams. How special would it be if Inter or AC Milan won the CL?

[hahay]

When it comes to records in the Champions League only this season then of course, Real Madrid and Manchester City have good records. But, if we compare the record in the Champions League as a whole, then of course no one can beat Real Madrid because yes, basically Manchester City can develop better in the Champions League after Pep Guardiola became coach at Manchester City.

So in this way, at this moment Manchester City have very good quality and also about Haaland it is a serious threat to all teams that play against Manchester City and not just Real Madrid. Let's just wait, because sometimes when Real Madrid is not at the top of the La Liga standings, sometimes Real Madrid can also get good results in the Champions League, but I'm not so sure Real Madrid can do it at this moment.

It's all about the result for both teams. How special would it be if Inter or AC Milan won the CL?

But I think Manchester City team will secure victory in Champions League semi-final match. Because Manchester City is ahead in all aspects. However, it would be foolish to underestimate Real Madrid, Real Madrid is an incredibly strong team. I think we can enjoy the semi-final match between Manchester City and Real Madrid much like the final match.

[RealMalatesta]

I think that Manchester City is the favorite to qualify further in this encounter.I am not in any way underestimating Real Madrid as they have won Champions League more than any other team and not for nothing they are called the team Queen of Europe but because this time simply Manchester City has better quality players than Real does with all due respect to Real.

Manchester City was near eliminating them last year when their quality was not the same as this year and they lost it I don't know why in the last 3 minutes of the second encounter but I know this most likely won't happen again.

That is definitely what most people think as well. Like when you look at sportsbet.io for example, City has 2.14 and Real has 3.15 odds at this moment. That could of course change with time but it is clear that they consider City as the favorite.

By comparison Milan has 2.94 odds and Inter has 2.66 odds for example which means that they think these two teams are much closer in every aspect and the game could end in a tie, even ties are 3.05 for Inter-Milan game and yet 3.85 for City vs Madrid game, which says they do not expect a tie at all. So when you consider all these odds, most people and most sportsbooks are considering City as the heavy favorite in this game. They may not be 1.40 or something, but they are as clear favorites as UCL semi finals could get.

[rendravolt]

If we look at the current odds, Manchester City is actually the favorite if you look at the bookies' predictions, but on the other hand, something like this is not something that will definitely make them qualify for the final.

Actually these odds can be a trap for bettors, but everyone has their own predictions and analysis to determine which team will win. Manchester city came to the Santiago Bernabeu for the first leg and as a guest they are the favorites to win.

Maybe the excellent performance shown by Manchester City in all competitions makes the city more favorable to Manchester City than Real Madrid and sometimes this can completely reverse when Real Madrid is able to counter him in the match later. But as someone who always looks at predictions based on history and also team performance from motivation to winning mentality, I will fully bet on Real Madrid's victory.

[ShowOff]

We can't say the results they got in La Liga are not important and they just focused on the champions league because if they lose the La Liga games and lose the place in the second position of the league they will not bad atmosphere in their team because these bad results and we can't expect to see them winning the game against Macnshter City like that.

The Champions League is something special for Real Madrid, so I think some people will definitely believe that Real Madrid will have no problem against Manchester City in the Champions League even if Madrid's performance is not very good in La Liga. Basically I don't agree with that opinion, I mean when a team is in a bad condition, especially regarding performance, then they must have problems that will impact the next match.

Real Madrid have final against Osasuna in the Copa Del Rey today, so this might have an impact on the first leg of the Champions League. If Real Madrid manages to win the Copa Del Rey, then of course the team's confidence will get better ahead of the match against Manchester City. On the other hand, Manchester City is also in its best form after securing the top of the standings by 4 points ahead of Arsenal, so I hope the match between Madrid vs City will be very spectacular to watch.

I think we can enjoy the semi-final match between Manchester City and Real Madrid much like the final match.

As previously discussed, this depends on our judgment when talking about speculation because everyone is allowed to assume the team they think is worthy of advancing.
Take for example when Napoli faced Milan before because I think the majority said the same of Napoli but as the game progressed it was evident in the 90 minutes. Even now, the conditions are the same, we are free to state whatever becomes our speculation, but again, the results will be there in 90 minutes as proof.

[alpamar99]

Haaland did play very well this season for Manchester City but as you said in this case, Madrid is not a team with only a group of ordinary players.
Haaland is a good striker in goal productivity but that is also not separated from the support of some good players in terms of indulgent passes so that Madrid still has a chance if it can close the movement of the players from City so it is quite funny to say that Haaland is a big differentiator because of his condition still pretty much the same.

And in fact we have seen many situations where when the ball was prevented from reaching Haaland, this could affect the effectiveness of Man City's attack. but the problem is that almost all of Man City's attackers have good productivity. and what I've always noticed about Man City's forwards is that sometimes they don't come out with full confidence. There were even times when Haaland had trouble getting the ball in one match.

That's what Madrid should do if they really want to hold on and win again from Manchester City.
Haaland is a threat but on the other hand he can be brutal by scoring many goals which is obtained from the good support of his teammates who are behind Haaland so if they really want to beat Manchester City then first of all destroying City in the midfield is a matter which they should do. the problem is that even though this looks easy, of course this is not as easy as imagined.

nope, I'm not sure Man City can beat Real Madrid even though Man City's performance is very good in the premier league but not necessarily in UCL Man City can play well while from Real Madrid's experience which has won the UCL several times and of course Madrid also has the best strategy which is always used in the champions league.
I just think that if Man City fails in the champions league maybe the hope is only in the premier league.
meanwhile, Real Madrid is serious about achieving success in becoming a champion in the Champions League and neglecting La Liga a little.

but all of that is just an opinion, there is no guarantee whatsoever because on the other hand these two teams are actually very strong and have almost the same strength. who can determine who is the strongest in this match is the one who can qualify for the final round, that's for sure.

Of course, many are waiting for Manchester City to lift the UCL trophy this season. Even this is said to be the best club this season that has the potential to win the UCL. If Man City can win the match against Real Madrid, and will face an Italian club, chances are they also can't beat the Italian club in the final round.

I watched Man City's game today against Leeds United, I don't think there's anything special about Man City's style of play. If they face Real Madrid, they will be overwhelmed, because Real Madrid has a much higher level of passing accuracy compared to Man City. And Real Madrid can play long balls.

What is certain is that Haaland cannot do much against Real Madrid, because he will be closely guarded by Antonio Rudiger, while Eduardo Camavinga will interfere with his movements, because Eduardo Camavinga has the same speed as Haaland.

Manchester City have maintained their best performance so far. The team is currently working hard to secure the Champions League title. Also, the coach of the team, Pep Guardiola, is applying new strategies and tactics to the players of the team. So that they can beat a strong team like Real Madrid with a great strategy.

[naira]

If we look at the current odds, Manchester City is actually the favorite if you look at the bookies' predictions, but on the other hand, something like this is not something that will definitely make them qualify for the final.
Currently Madrid is the defending champion and playing at the Bernabeu with odds of 3.20 is of course very tempting.

Maybe the excellent performance shown by Manchester City in all competitions makes the city more favorable to Manchester City than Real Madrid and sometimes this can completely reverse when Real Madrid is able to counter him in the match later. But as someone who always looks at predictions based on history and also team performance from motivation to winning mentality, I will fully bet on Real Madrid's victory.

It's hard to find any club today that has the Champions League mentality that Madrid has. Maybe Madrid didn't perform well in the league and always reaped defeats from the clubs below it. But then again in the Champions League, they are completely different, speaking of the Champions League it is as if Benzema, Modric and Kross kiss the weak points of their opponents and the madness is always there in the crucial minutes. Playing at the Bernabeu for Leg 1 will be very important so don't be surprised if Madrid maximizes their game to break the mentality of Manchester City players. I will be optimistic because the atmosphere of Manchester City's arrival at the Bernabeu also affects the mentality of the players.

[Tony116]

We can't say the results they got in La Liga are not important and they just focused on the champions league because if they lose the La Liga games and lose the place in the second position of the league they will not bad atmosphere in their team because these bad results and we can't expect to see them winning the game against Macnshter City like that.

The Champions League is something special for Real Madrid, so I think some people will definitely believe that Real Madrid will have no problem against Manchester City in the Champions League even if Madrid's performance is not very good in La Liga. Basically I don't agree with that opinion, I mean when a team is in a bad condition, especially regarding performance, then they must have problems that will impact the next match.

Real Madrid have final against Osasuna in the Copa Del Rey today, so this might have an impact on the first leg of the Champions League. If Real Madrid manages to win the Copa Del Rey, then of course the team's confidence will get better ahead of the match against Manchester City. On the other hand, Manchester City is also in its best form after securing the top of the standings by 4 points ahead of Arsenal, so I hope the match between Madrid vs City will be very spectacular to watch.

Basically, the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is going to be just like the last Champions League. We all remember how spectacular the match between them in the last Champions League was. I am hoping to see something similar from the teams.

I actually want to see Manchester City being able to get their revenge this time. But at the same time, I also know that Real Madrid is not going to be so easy to beat. Manchester City is in good form and that's why they will be very confident. But on the other hand, Real Madrid is currently not worried about La Liga. So they are going to put 100% strength into the Champions League.

I watched Man City's game today against Leeds United, I don't think there's anything special about Man City's style of play. If they face Real Madrid, they will be overwhelmed, because Real Madrid has a much higher level of passing accuracy compared to Man City. And Real Madrid can play long balls.

Man City looked ferocious in their match against Leeds United yesterday, with the narrow scoreline only being due to luck for Leeds. Haaland came close to scoring two more goals, only hitting the post. And Gundogan's penalty kick also hit the crossbar. Man City's passing accuracy was also high. Overall, their performance was excellent. I disagree with the notion that Man City's playing style is just ordinary.

Predicting the outcome of the match against Real Madrid is a difficult feat, but I'm inclined to favor Man City with a goal count of no more than 2.5. Let's wait and see what surprises are in store for us!

That is definitely what most people think as well. Like when you look at sportsbet.io for example, City has 2.14 and Real has 3.15 odds at this moment. That could of course change with time but it is clear that they consider City as the favorite.

It is not about being a favorite, the odd algorithm monitors all teams' performances and provides input on what each team deserves. Manchester City, for example, has been a beast in every match they have played; I consider them to have less odd than Real Madrid, which has not been consistent with winning matches, and as I'm writting, Sportsbet Odd has shifted a little to 3.2, and when you look at other bookies, they are slightly lower for both Manchester City and Real Madrid and that's because they are not using the same parameters.

By comparison Milan has 2.94 odds and Inter has 2.66 odds for example which means that they think these two teams are much closer in every aspect and the game could end in a tie, even ties are 3.05 for Inter-Milan game and yet 3.85 for City vs Madrid game, which says they do not expect a tie at all. So when you consider all these odds, most people and most sportsbooks are considering City as the heavy favorite in this game. They may not be 1.40 or something, but they are as clear favorites as UCL semi finals could get.

As a smart gambler, it is not necessary that I must bet for either of the teams to have a straight winning, the odds are normal and it is enough to double any amount that is wagered on them but I wouldn't risk this, I rather choose a win or draw even if the odd is slightly lower for inter who doesn't yet have the record of recent Champions League trophy in their gallery.

Apart from Haaland's existence at Manchester City which is being touted as a differentiator, in my opinion this is too much of a wishful thinking because of course Madrid is also not a weak team that will let Haaland move as he pleases in this match.

well, the problem is that some Madrid players are experiencing fitness problems.  such as Luca Modric, David Alaba, Ferlan Mendy, who are still doubtful that they have fully recovered from their injuries. which is possible, in the Copa del Rey game some others can get injured again. and that, will be very detrimental to Madrid. however, we'll see what Don Carlo will do in the match against City.  because after all, Madrid is not an easy team to overthrow, especially since they also have a winning mentality in this competition.

Meanwhile, on the City side, they could be in trouble as Nathan Ake seems to have picked up an injury problem against Leed. if the injury is severe enough, that means, Pep Guardiola will slightly change the strategy in the match later. but if we refer to the statistics and odds of the bookie, City has a higher probability than the opposing team Madrid to win the match and that is very reasonable. moreover, right now they are on fire. but for sure, we just follow every latest development regarding these two teams. However, if I had to choose, I would favor City.
