UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[len01]

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.

who doesn't know Carlo Ancelotti, a former PSG player who has a lot of experience that has made him a very extraordinary coach in the Real Madrid team. I also have confidence that Carlo Ancelotti will be successful in bringing his players or his team to win the UCL this season.
all of this can be seen from the excellent strategy and formation of players given by Ancelotti to the Real Madrid players who until now have been able to bring Real Madrid to the final round.

Real Madrid and Manchester City's semi-final match between the two teams is quite strategic. But I think Real Madrid will be more important than Manchester City in the semi-final match. Because they know Manchester City's attack is very strong. Basically, the weak points of both teams will be found and used in this match.

The current performance of Man City is in excellent condition, and we all know that their attacking line is incredibly strong, capable of breaking through the defenses of top teams in the league, such as Arsenal and Man United.

Apart from the teams, both coaches, Guardiola and Ancelotti, are also fascinating to discuss. Guardiola has a wealth of experience in competing in the Champions League, but Ancelotti is more experienced in this league. Nevertheless, Man City still has a good chance of winning because the team is currently in a positive sentiment.

My prediction is that the match will be exciting, with each sharp striker proving their experience. I bet Man City to win with a score of 2-3

[DaNNy001]

I also think the same, for me there is no other team that is stronger in this UCL season, I do not deny that Haaland is a player who can solve a game quickly, and if Pep is a great strategist, I imagine that he has already studied Madrid from above and below and he himself recognizes that Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, he also knows that if Ancelotti assigns 2 players so that Haaland does nothing, he will disable him and let 10 players play in attack completely, this The game will be very interesting, I think that the winner here will be Madrid.

Manchester city are overhype in games compared to Real Madrid. It's important to state out the clear facts among both clubs, the Los blancos have the experience and confidence to win any opponents when it comes to UCL games while Manchester city have good records in UCL and also EPL. They got eliminated by real Madrid last season, although they will not take it easy on with real Madrid. However I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti have a way he absorbed the pressure from Pep Guardiola, he always sort out good goal opportunities against English clubs. Erling Haaland is not a threat because if city midfield is comprehended by Madrid, Haaland won't be able to net a single goal in the game.

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.

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.

Without a doubt this is a terrible blow against Real Madrid, even with their full squad Manchester City was already the favorite, now that they are losing one of their key pieces then Real Madrid is going to face a very difficult match, now they may have other good players on their roster but they will lack the chemistry Modric already had with he rest of the players, all in all Real Madrid needs to do their best to tie the first leg or at least not lose in a disastrous way so they can have a chance once Modric recovers.

If Luka Modrich is injured and cannot play against Manchester City, it will be a big bad news for Real Madrid. Luka Modrich is the most important midfielder in Real Madrid's squad. He is an amazing player. Ancelotti desperately needs Luka Modric to strengthen the forward's link with the team's midfield. Without Luka Modrich or Benzema in the squad, Madrid's overall performance slows down a bit. The match against Manchester City is two weeks away. Hopefully Luka Modric will recover in the meantime.

The combination of Toni Kroos and Valverde is believe to be able to cover Luka Modric's contribution, if he is completely absent in the semifinals of the Champions League this season.
In my opinion, coach Carlo Ancelotti's dependence on Modric is not what we imagine, coach Ancelotti already understands the situation of his players, moreover Luka Modric is already 37 years old.
This will be a good opportunity for the oppose team, Manchester City

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.

Manchester City is a very promising team in the Champions League. I think this team will secure any title this season. Because this team is able to perform better than other teams. However, Manchester City will have a great fight with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

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.
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.
Modric has shown countless times that he plays best in big and important matches for Real and that no one is better than him in controlling the game and the ball.
In such difficult and uncertain matches, even the smallest detail can decide and that is why Modric is so important for Real.

if you want to win Real Madrid take over the midfield , this is the fear am having in their game against Manchester city, I really want Real Madrid to win this title,  but Manchester city has strong midfielder is good and can match with Real Madrid midfielders. It would be an interesting game, if Manchester city is able to scale through to the finals, then I see no team that will stop them.

In fact, it is reported that Modric will miss the 4 matches that Real Madrid will play in these 2 weeks, including 2 domestic league matches, the Copa Del Rey final, and the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, these matches are very important for Real Madrid. It is true that the chemistry that has been built with other players will be lost without Modric and I agree with your opinion.

However, the latest news seems to be true that Ceballos will fill Modric's place temporarily and that could end up in the match against Manchester City later if Modric hasn't recovered either. Yes, we can only hope that in the first leg Real Madrid will win first or at least hold Manchester City to a draw, so that in the second leg Real Madrid will appear with a full squad with Modric to qualify for the Champions League final.

Real madrid was the biggest opponent for manchester city in UCL. I can't even deny how big the domination of real madrid in UCL. People called madrid as a king in europe competition.
Manchester city looks promising now and i will able to secure any title other than UCL caused by madrid will be securing UCL again this season. Ancelotti will be working so hard to know about how to prevent KDB and haaland to work together.
This DUO was the biggest threat for real madrid right now. As long as rael madrid will not give free space for KDB and haaland and i think madrid will win against city next month.
So many people are talking about the possibility for the result from the match between manchester city vs real madrid.

Although I am aware that Manchester City has talented players this season to defeat any of their opponents, Real Madrid also has midfielders like Modric and Kroos, along with some defensive players like Alaba and Rudiger, who are very smart to play as we do. I would like you to keep in mind that this is a game, and Real Madrid play a surprise game occasionally.
Real Madrid may be defeated by Manchester City, but it won't be an easy victory like that. Luka Modric won't be present for the first leg, I believe, due to his injury.

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.

Is this a strategy for Real Madrid not to plan with luka Modric
He is a very important part of the squad missing him is like missing two important players
Ancellotti has said they will plan and forge ahead if he is not present with the squad

[hahay]

So many people are talking about the possibility for the result from the match between manchester city vs real madrid.

By the way, I also admit that Real Madrid is the king but, even though Real Madrid is the king it doesn't mean that Real Madrid will continue to succeed here in the Champions League. Because of course, there will always be moments when Real Madrid cannot play better than the opposing team and or there will be bad luck which is certainly difficult to avoid.

Therefore, this season I also admit that Manchester City has a better chance of winning the Champions League title. It's not about their position in the La Liga table and also in the Premier League table, but I really consider based on the quality of performance and the players in their main squad this season that I think Manchester City are still better.

[beerlover]

Modric's vanishing act could throw a wrench in Madrid's Champions League hustle. He's that indispensable maestro – serving skill and perseverance like hotcakes, a vibe hard to replicate.

However, we're rocking a stacked roster, poised to tango with Manchester City. Our midfield's brimming with gifted playmakers itching to step up and be game-changers. It's about nailing that sweet equilibrium and playing our ace cards.

And who's to say, maybe Modric's absence is our wild card. It might be the break others need to bask in glory and prove their mettle. So let's ride the optimism wave, lock in, and conquer the Champions League. We're in it to win it!

Modric is great and all, but midfield is a place they do not lack any talent neither. They have tchouameni, valvarde, camavinga, all that can play there along with Kroos who might be a little too old and slow these days but still amazingly talented and has been with the club for centuries so he knows how to play with his teammates. So when you combine all those four players, getting 2-3 midfieldiers out should not be an issue. Is it as good as Modric? No, but at the same time if they missed another player at another position then it would have been worse.

What if Benzema was not around? They don't have that level of talent at bench, it really does come down to how good your bench is, if you could come down to a lot of talent for midfield, then I rather have Modric missing instead.

[RockBell]

I also think the same, for me there is no other team that is stronger in this UCL season, I do not deny that Haaland is a player who can solve a game quickly, and if Pep is a great strategist, I imagine that he has already studied Madrid from above and below and he himself recognizes that Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, he also knows that if Ancelotti assigns 2 players so that Haaland does nothing, he will disable him and let 10 players play in attack completely, this The game will be very interesting, I think that the winner here will be Madrid.

Manchester city are overhype in games compared to Real Madrid. It's important to state out the clear facts among both clubs, the Los blancos have the experience and confidence to win any opponents when it comes to UCL games while Manchester city have good records in UCL and also EPL. They got eliminated by real Madrid last season, although they will not take it easy on with real Madrid. However I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti have a way he absorbed the pressure from Pep Guardiola, he always sort out good goal opportunities against English clubs. Erling Haaland is not a threat because if city midfield is comprehended by Madrid, Haaland won't be able to net a single goal in the game.

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.

Manchester  has both midfield and good defense  and I one thing  I noticed  about  haaland is since the guy score good goals he receives good assist from Bernardo Silva  and other midfielders the club is well coordinated. And the two serious  competitors are Manchester City  and real Madrid  since they will be meeting  next month not missing  that match, exited to see if real Madrid  can hold the Manchester City Manchester City is on fire.

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.

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.

However, the latest news seems to be true that Ceballos will fill Modric's place temporarily and that could end up in the match against Manchester City later if Modric hasn't recovered either. Yes, we can only hope that in the first leg Real Madrid will win first or at least hold Manchester City to a draw, so that in the second leg Real Madrid will appear with a full squad with Modric to qualify for the Champions League final.

Ceballos can only try but can’t cover up for Real Madrid fully as Luka Modric does. This is a very important match that they need their full squad in order to be able to stop Manchester city from prevailing against them. Real Madrid prowess is always in the midfield and you don’t allow them get too comfortable with the ball. I’m sure Pep has already unlocked and know this about Real Madrid. With Modric absence, it’s going to be an advantage for the English team to prevail.

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.

Real Madrid may be defeated by Manchester City, but it won't be an easy victory like that. Luka Modric won't be present for the first leg, I believe, due to his injury.

For sure, we can't be sure about the starting eleven that these two teams will play, but if these two teams don't have problems with their players. that means, the two coaches will lower their core squad. this fight, obviously will show a very interesting fight. In fact, I don't even dare to assume too much about the tactics that will be applied by either Pep Guardiola or Carlo Ancelotti.

It's just that, if I refer to the statistics and the matches played by these two teams. most likely, there won't be much change for Madrid. apparently, Madrid stick with the 4-3-3 pattern. while City is a little difficult to predict, but it seems there are 3 scenarios, it can be a 3-2-4-1 pattern, 3-3-1-3, or 4-3-3, it all depends on the needs and what strategy will be  Pep apply. well my guess, City will dominate the game more. I mean, City will be more in control of ball possession. either away or home matches. in this fight, we will see which team will be luckier. because if you talk based on data and statistics, City is more favored. but for sure, this fight still has a time lag. the two coaches, will continue to observe and look for the weak points of their opponents.

Manchester City is a very promising team in the Champions League. I think this team will secure any title this season. Because this team is able to perform better than other teams. However, Manchester City will have a great fight with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

I admire Manchester City's performance this season especially after the arrival of Erling Haaland. But we cannot ignore the history of Real Madrid's achievements in the Champions League, it cannot be considered a small matter. Real Madrid have players with the mentality that everyone knows especially in the Champions League, they is not going to back down just because Manchester City striker Haaland is doing great.

Real Madrid is a team that always wins in big matches and i think after last season defeat that City will play match more cautious. So we might not even see a lot of goals between these two teams even if head to head says so. City looks more dominant now so theybare the favorties
