UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[tulusikhlas]

True looks very strong. While the outcome of this match seems absolutely uncertain, we don't know if Real Madrid or Manchester will win, in my opinion the other semifinal is already written. Milan will win, Inter are too poor as a team.

Don't underestimate Inter Milan too much, because maybe it will motivate them to show that those who judge them are wrong. AC Milan does look better than Inter Milan, but that doesn't mean they will get an absolute victory in this match. We'll see how far Inter Milan will prove themselves and silence those who doubt them to be able to win in this match.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think for now it doesn't matter whether you're lucky or not, but in the current situation, whether you like it or not or whether you're lucky or not, you have to face it all the same.
Manchester City has ambitions to win and of course revenge for those who lost last season but things like that won't be easy with Madrid's current condition which can be said to still be very possible to put real pressure on in the game later.

In less than 2 weeks their match will start and they need to focus on this match so they can fight as much as possible in this match.

At the moment I hear Real Madrid have several injured players. and I hope that the injured players can recover quickly so they can play against Man City in the Champions League Semi-finals. because I want a full-strength match from both teams. I hate matches where one team doesn't play at full strength like a player is injured or something. And yeah basically it's still 50:50 Man city and Real Madrid have the same chance.

There are some players who have problems now like Benzema and Camavinga and some other players who are still in the treatment room but it has been confirmed that they will recover in time and even said Benzema can play against Almeria tomorrow so this is not a problem.
It's just that you need to remember that maybe the players can't be pushed too hard before their match in the semi-finals later because they are worried about the impact on their body condition.

I think for now it doesn't matter whether you're lucky or not, but in the current situation, whether you like it or not or whether you're lucky or not, you have to face it all the same.
Manchester City has ambitions to win and of course revenge for those who lost last season but things like that won't be easy with Madrid's current condition which can be said to still be very possible to put real pressure on in the game later.

In less than 2 weeks their match will start and they need to focus on this match so they can fight as much as possible in this match.

I agree that this will be a difficult match for both clubs, but Real Madrid has more time to prepare well for this game. Now they do not have the motivation to play well in La Liga, so they will put all their efforts to win the Champions League. Manchester City's situation is more difficult than Real Madrid's because they are fighting for the title in the Premier League in addition to the Champions League. I think Madrid have a better chance of winning.

In fact, when they say that their time is still the same, especially before they meet in the semi-finals, they will still face 3 more matches, even with the current schedule, Madrid must play seriously because before the semi-finals in the Champions League, they must win the Copa del Rey trophy first. of course this won't be easy even if the opponent is Osasuna.
As for Manchester City, they only face Fulham, Westham and Leeds even though that is also important for a smooth position in the domestic league but they have strong confidence here.

Who? i just saw that even alaba was able to go back again in the training.

Meanwhile, Thibaut Courtois continues his recovery from gastroenteritis, which forced the Belgian to miss Tuesday’s defeat in Girona. It is anticipated that the goalkeeper will return for Saturday’s LaLiga clash with Almería.

https://en.as.com/soccer/real-madrid-injury-update-alaba-mendy-courtois-benzema-n/
So, where did you hear that? I never ever heard that if real madrid faced several injured players. Benzema and curtois will be playing against almeria soon. Alaba may also be able to play against almeria. You shall try to double check again.

It seems like that what you have heard was the opposite thing compared with what was already published by some trusted sites.
I think that if all the real madrid players will be able to fully play against almeria. Ancelotti is trying so hard to keep its players from injury.

Lets tell ourselves the truth manchester city can not beat Real Madrid in this game, no doubt manchester city is one of the favourite for the title. but Real Madrid is not their match in Champions league. Real  Madrid will win this title again. i see no team stopping them. if manchester city put more effort and win or qualify to the finals, then Pep Gaurdola will be sure to win his first champions league outside Barcelona. and Manchester city will record their first ever champions league.

It would be foolish to think that a Manchester City team cannot beat Real Madrid. However, the Real Madrid team is more experienced on the Champions League platform than Manchester City. And they can perform well under pressure. However, their main weakness is that this team is overly dependent on Benzema. If Guardiola can stop Benzema I think Manchester City will win.
Real Madrid will be the favorite in this match. But the Manchester City team is in great form right now. The team is able to dominate every match in both Premier League and Champions League. So it has become more difficult for Real Madrid to beat City.

[Strongkored]

I agree that this will be a difficult match for both clubs, but Real Madrid has more time to prepare well for this game. Now they do not have the motivation to play well in La Liga, so they will put all their efforts to win the Champions League. Manchester City's situation is more difficult than Real Madrid's because they are fighting for the title in the Premier League in addition to the Champions League. I think Madrid have a better chance of winning.

The role of the coach is very important to be able to rotate his players correctly so that the treble-winner target can be achieved, because that is what Manchester City might be able to get, winning the league, FA Cup and Champions League.
Seeing Manchester City so far has been amazing because the start of the season looked quite difficult for them to win games but now to have the chance to get 3 titles in one season is amazing.
The toughest challenge is the Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid, even though Madrid appear inconsistent in the local league but the Champions League is like a second place for them to often get titles, there is no club that can compete with Madrid's statistics here, so City will never be easy to beat Madrid even though City is amazing domestically but international competitions can be very different.

[len01]

True looks very strong. While the outcome of this match seems absolutely uncertain, we don't know if Real Madrid or Manchester will win, in my opinion the other semifinal is already written. Milan will win, Inter are too poor as a team.

maybe for the match between AC Milan and Inter, we can already predict it. even though Inter's performance is as good as anything, Inter will not be able to surpass Milan's greatness, which has very good performance at the moment.
but it is the Real Madrid vs Man City match that is very difficult to predict, while these two teams are very strong teams and have good experience in several leagues. both teams have excellent players but it's just that Man City doesn't have experience in the champions league and maybe it's too early to become champions league champions.
I still have hope for Real Madrid to continue to win this season.

[Huppercase]

You don't have to go extra leangth to used abusive words on replies trying to defend your favourite club, we all know that Manchester City have big boys that are very experienced and very strong to kill any team in any matches but the same City lost to Madrid last year and they cried like babies. Funny enough, they were even better last season because that time, they were leading in th rank on Premier League but this time, they fought Arsenal as if it will be their last meal(trophy) they will ever see in their life.

Should I also remind you that Real Madrid were also like this last season, there were on form in this way but they conquer all the teams they come across in Champions League, if they don't lead in the first leg, they win the second leg later on.

[rendravolt]

That match was talked about a lot, many even said that they deserved to meet in the final, and now it is like a final match. Real madrid has had sweet results every time they met Manchester City, but at the moment, as you said, Manchester City is in good shape, and when compared with Real madrid, it seems that Real madrid this season is not as good as last season. But let's just enjoy their meeting, this will be a very interesting match to watch.

From the start Real Madrid was always underdog, even though if you look at the previous season they were able to win their 14th Champions League trophy and in the semifinal match Real Madrid will still face the same opponent as last season, namely Manchester City. Maybe many people including myself agree that this is the ideal final, but once again the two must meet in the semifinals and must fight for a place in the final.

In the first leg, Real Madrid had the opportunity to host first, this is in stark contrast, usually Real Madrid always gets the opportunity to host the second leg. But I'm pretty sure they will be superior on aggregate in the first leg later, so they can be more assertive when they become guests at the Etihad stadium later.

I believe this season the UCL will be owned by Manchester City, because they have better players than Madrid, but they also cannot underestimate Madrid because of course Madrid has a lot of experience winning the UCL. that's why people always say if you want to win the UCL get rid of madrid early so you don't bother in the final, this is manchester city's chance to get rid of madrid in the semifinals how they failed to get rid of madrid last season.

I know madrid have talented players and they even know how to come back when they lose, that's why they have a winning mentality that not many clubs have, therefore the only way to get rid of madrid is to beat them in the semifinals, I believe Guardiola has learned a lot from last season's failure and he will put pressure on his team to play as much as possible to win against madrid,  

Regardless of all that, I think it's too early to say that this season will belong to Manchester City and even if they manage to get rid of Real Madrid in the semifinals, they will face one of the teams from Italy who has a long history in the Champions League and that's not it will be easy for manchester city to be able to win the champions league this season.

But before talking about the final round, maybe it's good for Pep Guardiola to learn what made them fail last season against Real Madrid and that can be a good reference for looking for loopholes to beat Real Madrid in the semifinals later. But that doesn't mean to belittle Manchester City because they are always the top team every season in the Champions League and I have to say they are still too early to beat Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will be the favorite in this match. But the Manchester City team is in great form right now. The team is able to dominate every match in both Premier League and Champions League. So it has become more difficult for Real Madrid to beat City.

For some reason, I always judge that all teams that enter the semi-finals can be broken down based on the composition of their players, history, coaches, playing style, etc. And all of these parameters can be used as a reference to determine who is superior to the others.

So in my view Real Madrid is always the favorite to win, and I also never underestimate AC Milan and Inter Milan, they also have history in the Champions League. Yes, it's true, as you said, Man City now has the advantage of a great squad, especially their monster attack line, Erling Haland, but they don't have a history of winning the Champions League title. So from that I think the Real Madrid vs Man City match that won was Real Madrid.

Manchester City have become a truly remarkable team. The main reason behind this team being so strong is that all the players in the team are quality and the coach of the team, Pep Guardiola, is an amazing person, the team is so strong today because of his amazing strategy and training.

Still the same as last season, Real Madrid is always underestimated and will not win against Man City. But in fact they silence all criticism and trifles from those who belittle them. As a result, Real Madrid won the UCL.

[Leviathan.007]

This time Real Madrid was not lucky enough to play against another team instead of Mancshtyer City while Manchester City is on good form, Real Madrid is a team people expect to see in the final match and they earned many achievements in precious Champions leagues but this time Macnshter City can have more chance to beat Real Madrid because of the previous games we saw from them.

I think for now it doesn't matter whether you're lucky or not, but in the current situation, whether you like it or not or whether you're lucky or not, you have to face it all the same.
Manchester City has ambitions to win and of course revenge for those who lost last season but things like that won't be easy with Madrid's current condition which can be said to still be very possible to put real pressure on in the game later.

In less than 2 weeks their match will start and they need to focus on this match so they can fight as much as possible in this match.

Manchester City's situation is more difficult than Real Madrid's because they are fighting for the title in the Premier League in addition to the Champions League. I think Madrid have a better chance of winning.

I think in this game Manchester City will have more chance to win because they are going to face Real Madrid while winning previous games they had which can have a positive effect on the team's atmosphere also they have hope for the premier league, while Real Madrid had bad results and bad performance recently I think the atmosphere of Manchester City is better than Real Madrid which can give them more chance.

So from that I think the Real Madrid vs Man City match that won was Real Madrid.

The expression you say does look quite logical for every team that has entered the semifinals of the Champions League this season, but Manchester City could also make their new achievement to go down in history by winning the Champions League this season. The reason is quite logical for this where Manchester City already has strength on all fronts in a better way so that Manchester City's chances of getting a trophy in the Champions League are increasingly possible. After all, Manchester City also has the experience of being in the Champions League often, even though they have never won a trophy in the Champions League.

[Docnaster]

At the moment I hear Real Madrid have several injured players. and I hope that the injured players can recover quickly so they can play against Man City in the Champions League Semi-finals. because I want a full-strength match from both teams.

Real Madrid is without doubt is a specialist when it comes to the UEFA Champions League competition and is also the most experienced and successful club in the competition as well which is an added advantage to them as a club.
But just like Pep Guardiola said in the build-up to the all stars encounter, Manchester City are gonna play against 11 players in the pitch and not the history of the club. Manchester City almost eliminated Real Madrid last season in this same stage of the competition before Madrid made one of the fastest comebacks in the competition. But let us not forget that City were without the very deadly striker Erling Haaland who's gonna give Madrid defenders a good run for their money. It's totally unacceptable to write off any of the two clubs considering their performances this season.

[rendravolt]

Surprising news came from one of Real Madrid's veteran midfielders, namely Luka Modric, who is reportedly suffering from a hamstring injury and it can be confirmed that he will be out for the next two weeks. This is clearly a loss for Real Madrid at the same time they will face Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals.

Ancelotti is certainly very confused because he lost one of his key players to face Manchester City later and it seems likely that Dani Ceballos will replace Luka Modric's position. But Real Madrid hopes that before the match starts Luka Modric can quickly recover from the injury he is currently experiencing. We are still waiting for further news and maybe this will be good news for Pep Guardiola if Luka Modric really cannot strengthen Real Madrid in the first leg later.

Real Madrid is without doubt is a specialist when it comes to the UEFA Champions League competition and is also the most experienced and successful club in the competition as well which is an added advantage to them as a club.

Real Madrid is unique in Champions League and a giant there but they can not win it in every season. Remember that they hoped and waited for Decima (10th Champions League trophy) about 20 years since 2001 - 2002 season till 2013 - 2014 season when they won the Decima with Carlo Ancelotti. After that, they won four more with three belongs to Zidane time and a fourth is with Carlo Ancelotti (in the past season).

Because they can not win it in all seasons, Manchester City can believe in themselves and think that they can beat Real Madrid.

But just like Pep Guardiola said in the build-up to the all stars encounter, Manchester City are gonna play against 11 players in the pitch and not the history of the club. Manchester City almost eliminated Real Madrid last season in this same stage of the competition before Madrid made one of the fastest comebacks in the competition. But let us not forget that City were without the very deadly striker Erling Haaland who's gonna give Madrid defenders a good run for their money. It's totally unacceptable to write off any of the two clubs considering their performances this season.

With a precious lesson in the last season, if they have not wasted some opportunities in the second half to finalize the match, they would have won it within 90 minutes. This lesson is precious and painful and hopefully they will not allow it to appear in this season. They have more players on bench who can make difference and their squad's average age is younger than Real Madrid's.

It seems this season is a great chance for Manchester City to beat Real Madrid and go to final match. With either AC Milan or Inter Milan, Manchester City would have good chance to win the final (if they are eligible to play that match).

[asriloni]

Don't underestimate Inter Milan too much, because maybe it will motivate them to show that those who judge them are wrong. AC Milan does look better than Inter Milan, but that doesn't mean they will get an absolute victory in this match. We'll see how far Inter Milan will prove themselves and silence those who doubt them to be able to win in this match.

I think that if anyone watched the result from the old matches and they did know that easily if intermilan was always winning the game against ac milan. Ac milan was winning the game but it's not as much as intermilan. Ac milan looks like inferior compared with intermilan. I meant in term of attack, accuracy. intermilan had better result compared with ac milan. People can know that easily by seeing how bad the game by ac milan against intermilan. Ac milan was always dominating the possessions combined with passing accuracy but it's always having bad finishing against intermilan. It seems to me intermilan had very strong defenders compared with intermilan at this moment. You shall take a look at the previous meetings. that will give you correct answer about intermilan at this moment.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think in this game Manchester City will have more chance to win because they are going to face Real Madrid while winning previous games they had which can have a positive effect on the team's atmosphere also they have hope for the premier league, while Real Madrid had bad results and bad performance recently I think the atmosphere of Manchester City is better than Real Madrid which can give them more chance.

For me, comparing results in the domestic league and the Champions League for Real Madrid is not that relevant. I've seen how difficult they are in La Liga, but they don't seem to have any problems in the Champions League. I don't know if this is the impact of their weak opponent or something else. Now they have a very tough opponent, even said to be a tougher club than they are at the moment. I want to see what strategy Carlo Ancelotti will demonstrate, we know that he is a coach who has many doubts who is branded as a coach with a lack of strategy.

[Razmirraz]

A team with experience in the Champions League doesn't guarantee they will win every year. I always believe in football there are always surprises that can break all the initial predictions before the match. Real Madrid is considered the leading team in the race for the Champions League title because of the success they achieved last season, but their performances this season have declined slightly due to several factors that have befallen the team.
The strength of Man City and Real Madrid is almost even, these two teams need to work hard over two legs to ensure qualification for the final. In terms of being consistent in every match, Man City is superior to Man City, moreover Man City goal productivity this season has been very good since Haaland arrival.

Bad news, I hope Luca recovers in time for the game. If I'm not mistaken, bookmakers have already reacted to this news:

3.15 - 3.55 - 2.24

City became even more clear favorites in the first game. Although this may not be due to this news, but to the results of the teams' games lately, where City obviously performs more successfully.

[giammangiato]

ouch ouch ouch
then they know very well that Real Madrid are stronger, they just played a trick like this to up the ante!
It's a very difficult match to predict so the rates are high in any case! Very difficult but potentially fun

[keyscore44]

ouch ouch ouch

I am really looking forward to enjoy Real Madrid vs Manchester City match. Because both teams are one of the best. As a result, both teams will attack and defend each other, making the match competitive. I can't really predict with certainty which team will win.

[X-ray]

Lets tell ourselves the truth manchester city can not beat Real Madrid in this game, no doubt manchester city is one of the favourite for the title. but Real Madrid is not their match in Champions league. Real  Madrid will win this title again. i see no team stopping them. if manchester city put more effort and win or qualify to the finals, then Pep Gaurdola will be sure to win his first champions league outside Barcelona. and Manchester city will record their first ever champions league.

City and real madrid is still 50:50 right now. Manchester city was almost beating real madrid last season but rodrygo has become a savior for madrid. I heard that if luka modric potentially will not able to play against city. His injury was also making him absence from final copa del rey against osassuna that will come very soon. There is still enough time for modric to recover from his injury. Missing copa delrey is far better rather than missing UCL. UCL has become very important trophy for real madrid.

Real Madrid's Luka Modric is an injury doubt for the Copa del Rey final and the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City.

I can't deny that if modric was contributing a lot to the real madrid. Played without him like played without someone who was able controlling the midfielder for madrid. This can also become advantage for manchester city but real madrid is still having some good midfielders that are ready to replace him.
