UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[shogun47]

A pretty new article by sportsmople.co.uk states Manchester City is essentially complete and all are healthy except for Nathan Ake, but there is a possibility that he will be back in time and Cole Palmer, but that was to be expected as it seems. On Madrid's side I believe that they are almost complete as well. Modric had his minutes against Osasuna as well and should be ready for Manchester. There are no serious excuses regarding missing players and we an be looking forward to a lot of action.

Many of us are rooting for Manchester City to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. But Real Madrid team is very strong, their team attack is very strong. Karim Benzema is an excellent finisher. Besides Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric, there are such great players in the Real Madrid team. So we can never say that Manchester City will win for sure.

On this day, maybe Real Madrid are still celebrating winning the Copa Del Rey they just won this season. However, for the Champions League, it is difficult to say for sure who will win between Real Madrid and Manchester City, but in the opinion and predictions of most people at the moment who is more favorable to Manchester City is also not wrong.

Because maybe they judged after seeing how the conditions and performances shown by Manchester City at the end of this season so it is also very natural that there are many people who support Manchester City more to win in the semifinals of the Champions League this season even though the opponent is also a very good team in the Champions League this season.

Pep Guardiola said the UCL was very difficult because Real Madrid was there. And it would be easy if Real Madrid didn't participate in the UCL, Madrid is a dangerous club in the UCL. So it's too much if we say Manchester City can get that from Real Madrid even though it has the potential to be won by Man City.

If we look at Real Madrid's performance this season, it's not that good, but in the UCL they will do everything they can to win the game. We will see how a Benzema gives encouragement to his colleagues when conditions are down. He always motivates young players. Because the spearhead of Real Madrid is in these young players. It's just that they need serious motivation in a downturn.

Real Madrid looks more confidence after winning Copa del Rey as capital facing Manchester City on Champion League semifinal three days later, another side the citizen have consistent performance and managed top standing in domestic league make them have confidence for away to Bernaneu Stadium. Exactly Manchester City has bad record when playing at Bernabeu stadium after last games eliminated by Real Madrid on few minutes later before match ended.

Both team are complicated with their player composition, seems first leg will be interested waiting for the winning team between Real Madrid or Manchester City, however Real Madrid have more experienced with Champion League competition than Manchester City not winning tittle yet ever most appearance on semifinal stage.

Man City is in an earlier phase than Real Madrid, but that is only based on results in the national competitions for both teams. And there has been nothing at stake for Madrid for a while now, because the gap with Barcelona is already about 2 months too big to have a chance at the championship. Both teams have a lot of quality. It would be nice if it were as exciting as last year, every football fan enjoys that. The fact that Real Madrid wins with big figures seems impossible to me, but City is a team that can play a lot now and then, even against strong opponents. It is an advantage for Madrid that they can play the first game at home, so that they can put themselves in a good starting position.

Manchester city and real madrid are still having the same chance at this moment. It's likely that if real madrid will have more chance compared manchester city after seeing it was winning copa del rey. Manchester city is a very strong team but the mentality from both of clubs will be tested in upcoming match.
The first leg gonna happen in santiago bernabeu. Manchester city must be careful with real madrid right now as it's potentially to beat manchester city in santiago bernabeu.

It's gonna be a hard match to predict. I still put my believe in real madrid right now. I know the consequence if manchester city may able to bet madrid anytime but i think that's the best choice for me to be honest.

It's caused by madrid has more experience compared with manchester city at this moment.

The motivation of the Madrid players multiplied after winning the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid, which acts as the host in leg 1, will certainly be very ambitious to win the match. Armed with sufficient experience in the Champions League, it seems that it will not be difficult for Ancelotti's troops to beat Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Manchester City also had a strong determination when they visited the City of Madrid. This season Pep Guardiola comes with a fairly even squad on all fronts. Pep Guardiola is also very confident that his team will be able to do a lot because the team's condition is very stable. Manchester City are also very blessed with the sharpness of their new striker Erling Haaland, at this time he has appeared so impressive that he is ready to pose a threat to Madrid's bottom line.

I predict this fight will be very tough. The strength of these two teams is very balanced, but for the 1st leg Real Madrid will be able to win that match.

Even after celebrating the victory of the CDR champion yesterday, it seems that Real Madrid have started training again because they did not have time to celebrate the title. Real Madrid have to focus and continue their work without stopping, that's very good for a team that has won the mentality of champions for many seasons in the champions league.

That's some great mentality right there, I thought Real Madrid would be given some time off since it seems everyone coming to the club are just completing football by winning major trophies. I thought the players won't want to keep training but it seems the mentality is high. If it was a club that Messi was playing in, by now he would had probably gone on a vacation and still be worshiped.

Real Madrid mentality is what's keeping them in the champions league and continuously winning it. Even in a season when they aren't doing well in la Liga, they still find a way to win the tournament. This mentality will be needed when Real Madrid faces Manchester City on the 9th, Manchester city are also on a form of their own as Haaland just broke the premier league highest goals scoring record in a season and he'll be looking to get more goals in the champions league. As always Manchester city will have the upper hand considering they have defeated Real Madrid 4 times in their last five meetings.

Armed with sufficient experience in the Champions League, it seems that it will not be difficult for Ancelotti's troops to beat Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.

I would say Real Madrid lost, that is the best possibility to think about when I compare the current form of the two teams. I consider that Manchester City can impress in the first leg and put pressure on to prevent Real Madrid from finding their best rhythm. So I don't think it's very good to say that Real Madrid can beat Manchester City easily despite the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

I predict this fight will be very tough. The strength of these two teams is very balanced, but for the 1st leg Real Madrid will be able to win that match.

We'll see, but I hope Pep Guardiola has learned a lot since his last defeat to Real Madrid in the semi-finals Champions League the season before.

I am counting on Manchester City this season because I am sure they will not repeat the same mistake they did last season. Moreover, they now have a standing striker that have good pace to score goal from different angles. I will not say that Real Madrid might not win because they also stand a chance of winning the match, but Manchester City have more good ratings than them this season.

Of course Manchester City get the chance to win the UCL. But this match is like the final round. This match will be watched by more people than in the final round later. Because many people will see Manchester City this season to beat Real Madrid. But Man City's efforts this time seem not much different from before. Pep will make a blunder in terms of player rotation when the match is about to end.

Exactly Manchester City has bad record when playing at Bernabeu stadium after last games eliminated by Real Madrid on few minutes later before match ended.

That's what Real Madrid will see after winning a trophy, finally being able to appear more focused starting to show something that could be a surprise and playing Leg 1 at home, of course Man City can't feel superior. Even though there is Haaland who is always proud of, there is no guarantee he will get away with it easily. Real Madrid will definitely be able to finish this match calmly, in the midst of seeing Man City's progress which continues to improve in terms of performance.

The motivation of the Madrid players multiplied after winning the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid, which acts as the host in leg 1, will certainly be very ambitious to win the match. Armed with sufficient experience in the Champions League, it seems that it will not be difficult for Ancelotti's troops to beat Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Both teams got their own motivation, Man City with good results in the Premier League and was able to secure the top position in the standings, then Real Madrid won the 20th Copa del Rey trophy and succeeded in building the enthusiasm of its players to get the next trophy. The Real Madrid players only need to beat Man City at home which, with Man City's record at the Bernabeu, is bad enough to play there.

I think that the reason of this decrease in their performance level recently is that their not being able to concentrate on their Serie A matches. I started to think like they are mostly focused on the Champions League at the moment to be as successful as possible. In the end they have a significant chance to make it to the finale here after all these years. It has been a long time since we saw Milan doing this good in this tournament.

~snip~

I don't think the final will be exciting, because Inter and Milan I think are far below Madrid or Man City. This is what makes me think the best final is Madrid vs Man City. But it has been decided, I think the semi-final will be more tense Madrid vs Man City.
Maybe it's not just me, most think that way. I think there is no big hope for Inter or Milan to win if they are in the final. Their stats don't make me sure. Because Man City or Madris are on the same level as them.

Now City is different than before, and Madrid is no exception. City have a stronger squad. plus, Haaland is a scoring monster.  while Madrid, lost Casemiro. there are two significant differences, although both teams have their own advantages.

Speaking of Madrid, yes, winning the Copa del Rey can be a strong motivation to overthrow City in this semi-final match. but maybe, fitness problems can interfere with their performance in the match later. playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, Don Carlo's team should be able to take advantage of it to get maximum results. if not, it's hard to overthrow City when playing at the Etihad Stadium. in this match, City will probably lose Nathan Ake who has problems with his calf. although Pep has a replacement option, it looks like there will be a slight change in strategy. Like it or not, Real Madrid must win the battle at home. but if the opposite happens, then City is very capable of overthrowing Madrid with a landslide score. To be honest, I can't wait for this fight.

On Madrid's side I believe that they are almost complete as well. Modric had his minutes against Osasuna as well and should be ready for Manchester. There are no serious excuses regarding missing players and we an be looking forward to a lot of action.

This match is probably more anticipated than the Champions League final itself, on the one hand it's cool, on the other it's only a semi-final... Rooney has expressed his opinion, he thinks Manchester City will "roll" over Real Madrid, it's a different level. It's hard to disagree with him, I can't say who will win, but it's a different level...

[rendravolt]

after the game Luka Modric was interviewed and he said , he's happy they win the Copa del Rey but but they have not time to celebrate, because of thr champions league game ahead on Tuesday. To me Real Madrid is still favourite to win the title again this season.  Real Madrid see champions league as Their personal trophy.  Any team that can win Real Madrid is already champion in this league. Playing home is another advantage for Real Madrid, they just have to score first and defend it. Ancelotti knows more about Manchester city partner of game and as experienced coach he will win Manchester city home an away. It's possible with Real Madrid

As a veteran Luka Modric can set an example for his team-mates and fortunately besides Modric there is also Kroos, and Benzema. These three players are friends and mentors on the pitch for the young Real Madrid squad and I think that while they are around the rest of the players will remain calm and strong mentally. Maybe because Real Madrid has won the Champions League so many times, they don't even want to take it for granted and they keep doing their job until it's finished.

Ancelotti is one of the best coaches and has experience in various top European leagues and with his ability I think Real Madrid are still in full control to win this competition. But before we go any further, they have to beat Manchester City first because Pep Guardiola's squad is the only strongest team left before moving on to the final.

[bayu7adi]

Manchester City are also very blessed with the sharpness of their new striker Erling Haaland, at this time he has appeared so impressive that he is ready to pose a threat to Madrid's bottom line.

I predict this fight will be very tough. The strength of these two teams is very balanced, but for the 1st leg Real Madrid will be able to win that match.

Haaland has his own motivation to make history in English football, which is to become the highest scorer from an English league club in the Champions League. The record for the most goals, held by Van Nistelroy from Man United, is currently at 12 goals. And now, Haaland has equaled that record, giving him a great chance to score more goals in the semi-finals and finals, as Man City is expected to win against Real Madrid.

This is undoubtedly a strong driving force for Haaland to perform even better when facing Madrid's defensive line. Although the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu may be a bit of a draw, when it comes to the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, Man City will be fierce.

[Zackgeno96]

The bookmakers rate Real Madrid and Man City equally high, at least in the match in Madrid. These 2 teams have played against each other a few times in recent years, the numbers speak in favor of City. It is also not for nothing that the bookmakers estimate City to be very high to conquer the title this season. Still, it wouldn't be a surprise to me if Madrid went through to the final. 5 titles won in the last 10 years, who else can ever do that again? The counter at City is at 0, and for the last 5-6 years they have been the favorites every time together with teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid PSG, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. I don't expect much excitement at the matches of the teams from Milan.

[Vinaa77]

Pep Guardiola said the UCL was very difficult because Real Madrid was there. And it would be easy if Real Madrid didn't participate in the UCL, Madrid is a dangerous club in the UCL. So it's too much if we say Manchester City can get that from Real Madrid even though it has the potential to be won by Man City.

The meeting between these two big teams is very interesting, Real Madrid and also Manchester City meet again in the UCL. In fact, both are equally strong teams, the match is almost here and I think Pep Guardiola and also from the Real Madrid team have prepared their strategy for this meeting , even though so far Manchester City is a very strong team in the primary league among its rivals, we don't think it has made Real Madrid falter at all.

[Furious 7]

Ancelotti is one of the best coaches and has experience in various top European leagues and with his ability I think Real Madrid are still in full control to win this competition. But before we go any further, they have to beat Manchester City first because Pep Guardiola's squad is the only strongest team left before moving on to the final.

Now that they have won the trophy in the Copa del Rey, of course their ambition is the semi-final first leg at this time and this can be used as a whiplash for their spirits because regardless of anything a win in the domestic league can add confidence for now.
Even so, we also can't just make this sure, especially with conditions that are still very difficult when you see that their current opponent is Manchester City.

There are only a few days left for the match, as much as possible for now they have to maintain their fitness because of course this is the most important thing for them now especially with the busy schedule conditions and this high tension game will drain a lot of energy.

Manchester City are also very blessed with the sharpness of their new striker Erling Haaland, at this time he has appeared so impressive that he is ready to pose a threat to Madrid's bottom line.

I predict this fight will be very tough. The strength of these two teams is very balanced, but for the 1st leg Real Madrid will be able to win that match.

This is undoubtedly a strong driving force for Haaland to perform even better when facing Madrid's defensive line. Although the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu may be a bit of a draw, when it comes to the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, Man City will be fierce.

Nowadays indeed when talking about Haaland it is endless. His condition is still very young and his performance is always crazy every game, it is very difficult to take eyes off this sensational young player.
He does have the potential to break his record, but on the other hand the main focus remains at this time to bring Manchester City because regardless of anything of course the overall team record will be better if compared to individual records.

I would say Real Madrid lost, that is the best possibility to think about when I compare the current form of the two teams. I consider that Manchester City can impress in the first leg and put pressure on to prevent Real Madrid from finding their best rhythm. So I don't think it's very good to say that Real Madrid can beat Manchester City easily despite the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid are a very unpredictable team, man, it is not known for sure what they play because one game is played very well, another is very bad and another is very bad and for some strange reason this team is more dangerous when it is. Doing nothing because with a pretty brilliant game to get a result, Man City have to be serious about playing this match well because from now on I see the England squad but knowing what Real Madrid is like, it's unknown what will happen.

I predict this fight will be very tough. The strength of these two teams is very balanced, but for the 1st leg Real Madrid will be able to win that match.

We'll see, but I hope Pep Guardiola has learned a lot since his last defeat to Real Madrid in the semi-finals Champions League the season before.

Only a strong mentality like Real Madrid can beat Pep Guardiola's precise tactics. Because the Champions League is not only about tactics, but also the mentality of the players.

depending on how you will judge the quality of these two teams it also depends on you in comparing their progress in the champions league this season, I think real madrid is difficult to beat by EPL teams this season in the Champions league because two teams that tried failed to beat real madrid like Chelsea and Liverpool. Now for Manchester City, it is the third team from the EPL which is the next opponent for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season.

Even though Manchester City have a stronger squad this season, I doubt they can beat Real Madrid in the first leg.  because Real Madrid is very strong when playing at home and this will be quite an interesting match to watch.
