UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[HajiBagi]

Inter Milan became the first team to reach the UEFA Champions League final in the 2022/23 season. Trailing by two goals in the first leg, AC Milan failed to turn around in the second leg. AC Milan was defeated by one goal against Inter Milan in the second leg as well. Inter Milan's performance in the 2 legs was excellent. Inter Milan did not give any advantage to AC Milan. Since the first finalist team of UCL has been decided now only the second finalist team is waiting. 
Real Madrid and Manchester City are going to play today in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second finalist team selection. This match will be held at Etihad Stadium today. Today's match will be in everyone's spotlight.

I'm happy for Inter Milan because they took advantage of the opportunity to become the first team to qualify for the Champions League Final this season. The team worked extremely hard to ensure that they reached the final zone, and they succeeded with their performance. I knew from the start that Inter Milan would defeat AC Milan because they were in better shape than Inter, and Inter had scored two goals in the first leg of the match, which would be very difficult to score back.
Lukaku deserves recognition from Inter Milan for his outstanding contributions to the squad. He has assisted on numerous goals, so it would be beneficial if Inter Milan totally sign him away from Chelsea.

In this match I saw Milan quite relaxed in their response to the goal deficit. They don't know if this is indeed their strategy to be more focused in Serie A or indeed they are aware that the opportunity has been closed but this does not really reflect the ideal semi-final for a derby According to me.

It is too preposterous to say that AC Milan's strategy is to focus on Serie A because they have reached the semifinals, which means that from the start AC Milan has been trying its best. Although in the end had to be sent home by his own neighbors. It's clear that the quality between Inter and AC Milan is far different from a total of 5 shots, only 1 is really accurate.

They lost motivation in this match, and what is very likely is that Inter Milan already knows what AC milan will do in implementing the strategy in this match. On the other hand, Inter Milan played much better, thus making it difficult for AC Milan to be able to develop the strategy they had planned.
Match statistics say that Inter Milan is much better at executing strategy. Actually I expected AC MIlan to come out on the attack, because there was no other option for them when they were left behind by 2 goals on aggregate, but that didn't happen, instead they were even more pressured and that's probably because their burden was bigger too.

Inter Milan has shown seniority as the giant of Italian football when it comes to champions league game, yesterday they demonstrated seniority and outshined AC Milan by a 1 goal to nil, to registered to the final, it's very impressive for Inter Milan, they will face either Real Madrid or Manchester city at the finals. Inter Milan should be praying that Manchester city gets to the final with them and not Madrid, because Madrid will be hard for them to beat in the final than Manchester city. Real Madrid has not lost a Champions league finals, and as defending champion it will be hard for Inter Milan to win. All the same congratulations to Inter Milan,they helped me to win my ticket last night.

For the records, AC Milan is more successful club in the UEFA Champions League competition than their city rivals Inter Milan. As matter of fact, AC Milan is the second most successful club in the competion so it's absolutely wrong to say Inter demonstrated seniority. But from what we have seen so far in the semi finals, Inter Milan was a much better team.
Inter Milan's current problem now is how to face whoever that'll qualify tonight to play against them between Manchester City and Real Madrid because from every visible evidence, the two teams are more stronger than Inter

[Bitcoin_people]

Neither team wants to draw the match. Because which team wins the penalty shootout is mostly down to luck. And so Madrid and Manchester City are no team willing to take the risk. Both teams will play to win. Both Madrid and City have strong squads. This match will be very competitive. And I think we will see quite a few goals in this match. Neither team will play defensively in this match. Both teams have very strong attack and midfield. I am looking forward to see Ancelotti and Guardiola's match tactics. Hopefully we will see a different strategy in this match.

City at the beginning of the first match pressed well, but at the end of the match they decided to keep the draw and gave the initiative to Real Madrid. In the second leg I expect more pressure from City, if they manage to score an early goal, maybe a few goals, and keep pressing then Real can't score much, so I don't expect many goals from Real, maybe one but not more. And I expect two or more goals from City, I agree that Guardiola will not want to go to penalty shoot-outs, since this is a lottery for the team.

In legs-1, Real Madrid scored first to put Man City under pressure. But later on, Manchester City made a great attack to level the game and draw the match at the end of the game. We know that Manchester City is the best team this season and they perform well in every match. However, the match of leg-2 is going to start soon, Manchester City is likely to win more in this match. Because Manchester City playing at their own ground, they will not give up so easily to Real Madrid and will put up enough of a fight. If Manchester City puts Real Madrid under pressure with a goal at the beginning of the game, then the game will definitely be very difficult for Real Madrid. But if the match is a draw like lag-1, then the game will definitely be drawn and then it cannot be sure which team will win.

Real Madrid - 5.60
Man City - 1.56

I'm not really surprised here.

I predicted a draw or low-scoring in the first leg and I think it will not be a different story this time. I know that's an unpopular opinion right now but RM is more focused on winning this tournament since La Liga now belongs to Barca. They can go all out so it doesn't really which stadium they are playing. The match could be settled in over-time. Penalties if we get lucky hehe.

Real Madrid saved o most all of their players in their last game in the laliga so they can be ready for Man City match,they are looking solid but to beat Man City at home you need to be on an expert level,plus Man City will be more cautious this time because of what happened last year.

[KTChampions]

I have checked Manchester City the recent records during 2023 and i was found fantastic records for them at home that from total 15 home matches in all competitions since January Manchester City have won all of it which mean they had 100% winning rates with only conceded 7 goals and this records probably makes most people believe Manchester City will be able to beat Real Madrid today

Guardiola has been complaining about premier league schedules because this makes Manchester City have to play at least 2 matches each week and this also caused Manchester City players will feel fatigue and from fitness condition Real Madrid has slightly better because last week on Laliga against Getafe Ancelotti was played some of Madrid reserved players and for this match Manchester City has odds @1.54 and this showed they are the favourite and hopefully Manchester City will showing strong mentally and win this match

Every series ends sooner or later. By the way, if you take all the competitions, then City's unbeaten streak has already reached 22 games. An impressive result, but it would be nice to see the consequences of the busy schedule that Guardiola complains about - why shouldn't City lose, for example today?  I understand that these deviations from the average are very difficult to predict, but as a Real Madrid fan, I would be happy if it happened today.

if you look at the statistics of some of Manchester City's matches this season it is indeed very good but the opponent they are facing now is Real Madrid and in the semifinals of the UCL, here it is not just performance but the team's mentality and confidence will have a big influence.
Manchester City will indeed be highly favored to win the match but I think anything is still possible and in my opinion both teams have the same chance.
it will be very difficult to predict.

[rendravolt]

One more step I will close the $1 bet with an absolute win from the multibet result. Now we will still be waiting for the results of the semi-final second leg match between Manchester City and Real Madrid which will take place today and I'm pretty sure Real Madrid will win this match. Maybe there really is a sense of doubt considering that Manchester City is so strong at home, but if Real Madrid continues to attack from the early minutes and can score the first goal, it will surely make the mentality of the Manchester City players drop. However if Real Madrid concede first, I think they will still be able to make a comeback no matter what and for sure they will not hesitate to do so as they are close to going to the final against Inter.

[Jackl87]

Inter landslide victory did provide a lot of hope, but once again the biggest test is in the Final phase where neither Man City nor Real Madrid will face Inter clearly not worth it. I know how Inter is so aggressive without giving AC Milan a single goal and based on the 2 matches that have been completed, it is not very guaranteed to win against Man City or Real Madrid. But this is just my speculation because the real situation is always much more thrilling and raises the spirits of the players.

I would not really call it a landslide win for Inter because a result of 3-0 after two games is not that unusual. That being said, if you have watched both of the games than this result was definitely deserved and Inter could have properly scored even more goals and made it clear even earlier yesterday too. I still think though that the chances of Inter Milan to really win the Champions League are very small. No matter which team is advancing today in the match of ManCity vs Real Madrid it will be the big favorite against Inter. Part of the truth is also, that Inter is probably only in the final because of the very lucky draft of the quarterfinals.

Real Madrid saved o most all of their players in their last game in the laliga so they can be ready for Man City match,

Exactly what I meant with RM's "focus" and "going all out".

plus Man City will be more cautious this time because of what happened last year.

This is my expectation as well. It's the reason why I think it could be extended to over-time or maybe decided by penalties.

One more step I will close the $1 bet with an absolute win from the multibet result.

I understand you did this out of fun but what a waste of odds me thinks hehe. I would put at least $10 for high risk bets like that.

I have no dog in this match but I hope RM wins for your multibet's sake hehe. Goodluck.

Manchester City's performance this season is very extraordinary, Pep Guardiola's team seems to have no significant shortcomings. I am more championed Manchester City than the defending champion. Manchester City also has a frightening home record in the Champions League this season. Five wins from five matches, where they scored a total of 20 goals and only conceded two goals. Carlo Ancelotti must be aware of it, the experience of Real Madrid must be a difference in the match if you don't want to go home empty -handed.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Real Madrid's odd to win the game is increasing in time. This seems really interesting to me because I think that bookmakers are just underestimating Real Madrid a lot. Honestly, I'm favouring Manchester City for even the Champions League title. But I'm still not expecting to see Real Madrid being so desperate in Etihad. Instead I'm expecting a solid resistance by their side even if they lose.

I would like to remind you of their latest head-to-head game in this stadium. Manchester City won it by a score like 4-3. Why wouldn't we have a similar result here also? It is totally possible in my opinion. But I don't expect one thing to happen which is we watch extra time. Manchester City have the strength to finish the job in 90 minutes.

They just need to stay more solid against dangerous counter-attacks here. Because I'm pretty sure Ancelotti will use the exact same strategies.

Interesting statistic, but for the match tonight, it will have no meaning.
In my opinion, Real and Manchester City are the two best teams in Europe right now and their duels will probably mark the next decade.
Both teams are strong and ready to win the Champions League this season, and I give a slight advantage to Real because of their experience and the fact that the Manchester City players will be under a lot more pressure.
I don't expect many goals and a nice game, and most likely one goal will decide.
Realistically, this is the final before the final and Inter in the final against Real or Manchester City has very little chance.

Real Madrid - 5.60
Man City - 1.56

I'm not really surprised here.

Yeah consider manchester city is always winning with lots of scores in etihad and that odds was actually make sense for city against real madrid. That will be so amazing if real madrid can do comeback in etihad stadium against city.
The real test will start soon. I wonder what new strategy that being prepared by ancelotti to face city in etihad stadium.

I predicted a draw or low-scoring in the first leg and I think it will not be a different story this time. I know that's an unpopular opinion right now but RM is more focused on winning this tournament since La Liga now belongs to Barca. They can go all out so it doesn't really which stadium they are playing. The match could be settled in over-time. Penalties if we get lucky hehe.

Playing away or home doesn't matter a lot for real madrid. It has become a test for their mentality. Real madrid has also played a match against manchester city in etihad last year. Real madrid was just repeating last year's memory.

I hope that benzema, rodrygo and vini will able to win against madrid. I don't care so much about how many goals will be conceding by madrid. As long as madrid win and that's enough.

The second leg of the Semi Final between Manchester City vs Real Madrid will certainly be a hotter match. And as usual, the meeting of these two strong teams always brings a strong atmosphere that makes those of us who watch it feel like we are watching the final match. Whichever team wins I will respect that a lot. But I will bet on Manchester City this time.

Each leg of the semi-final felt like we were watching the UCL final. The first leg match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was just so exciting. Overshadowing the excitement of that match, we noticed the most excitement in the match between AC Milan and Inter Milan. The on-field security guards were very strict on the field as we usually see in UCL finals. Perhaps the more fighting match today is going to be between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Today's exciting match may have never happened in a UCL final

What made the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match even more exciting was that last season the two teams also had the same meeting in the semi-finals of the UCL. And the result is that Manchester City lost dramatically last season. So that the result of this match is certainly the match that the fans of each team have been waiting for. Especially Manchester City fans, who of course hope that this time Manchester City can successfully qualify for the final.

I personally am not a fan of Manchester City but still I was carried away by curiosity about the results of the match between these two strong teams. And I personally stand on Manchester City's side for this fight. Because I want to see Manchester City qualify for the final and I also hope they can lift the UCL trophy for the first time.

In the first leg, Haaland didn't seem to be able to do much on the field. And I think that in this match there will definitely be a change in strategy and I really want to see Haaland again playing freely and showing his superiority, who is always hungry for goals.

When Pep Guardiola was asked by reporters after the first leg of the first leg of Manchester City's dramatic loss to Real Madrid in last season's dramatic semi-final defeat to Real Madrid last season, did you think Real Madrid would be in the next Champions League semi-final? There will be a chance to take revenge against you.
In response to this question, Pep Guardiola said revenge is not a big deal, we will only play to win and our dream will be the UCL final.  

For the coach and players this match is not a revenge match but for Manchester City fans this match is a tough revenge match. Now it is to be seen how much Real Madrid can perform at the Etihad Stadium against the loud noise of Manchester City fans.

I also see Manchester City good record at home, with that record they have a big chance of qualify for the final and against Inter, although I want Real Madrid to qualify for the final but tonight match will be very tough for them. Also right now although the Manchester City players are tired but at home they will get support by their fans to win, I also see the current odds Manchester City are the favorites so I'm sure they will win, but I hope Real Madrid can make a surprise in that match.

Starting a match with a revenge intention will not be good. The coach and players will have barriers which are made up of their own pressure that is unnecessary to exist. The past season completed and nobody can revert the time but in this season, Manchester City again come closely to a final match.

They will have a second semi final to beat Real Madrid and have a final match to play. Revenge or not, it is not a big matter with them. If not Real Madrid, they will face with another club and have to beat any opponent to win their first Champions League.

In a first leg, Kyle Walker constrained Vinicius very well and he will have a big task to repeat it. As Vinincius is a main attacking power of Real Madrid and if he can not perform well because of Walker, Real Madrid will lose majority of their attacking power.

Manchester City's performance this season is very extraordinary, Pep Guardiola's team seems to have no significant shortcomings. I am more championed Manchester City than the defending champion.

They have a last few matches in this season to win three titles and in history, only one club in England did it. They are Manchester United with Sir. Alex Ferguson many years ago. It is interesting if a second club get it is another club from Manchester.

The second leg of the semifinals of the Champions League this time will not be easy for Real Madrid because they will face one of the most productive teams, Real Madrid which has conceded 6 goals in its last 5 matches, needs to improve its quality in defense from the onslaught of Manchester City players.

The two coaches have prepared a strategy to win the match, they also really understand the strength of the opposing team. Fluency in attack is more in favor of Manchester City, their goal productivity is also very good in the 5 matches that have been passed. Even so, football has things that can ruin a coach's plans, it's worth looking forward to this game as both teams want to win the match to reach the final.

Real Madrid - 5.60
Man City - 1.56

I'm not really surprised here.

The odds are unbalanced, but the bookies see that from a performance point of view, Manchester City is so perfect compared to Real Madrid, which of course can surprise the second leg.

Of course I myself saw that Manchester City was so strong to face this last game but we know that Real Madrid has a mentality that cannot be easily dismissed, remember how last season of course, now we don't know what happened, but one thing for sure, Manchester City's statistics dominate because they performed better under Pep Guardiola.
