UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[EdenHazard]

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.

Yeah i do know that. It seems like that ancelotti is still trying to make its record to be even bigger.

The Real Madrid coach has now won 103 games and moves ahead of Ferguson.
Carlo Ancelotti is still breaking all-time footballing records. Following Real Madrid's win against Celtic at the Bernabéu, the Italian coach has now overseen the most Champions League win. Nobody has won more games since the current format was introduced in the 1992/93 season than the Real Madrid coach, who was level with Ferguson on 102 victories.

Ancelotti has surpassed ferguson. I think that ancelotti will not try to mis the golden opportunity to win the UCL again this season. The key is to beat manchester city. As long as real madrid will able to beat city and it will become an easy task to beat the winner from the duel of duo milan.

Ancelotti is very happy right now and he was aiming to increase his winning count in UCL. It will be so good to him if he will able to win another UCL trophy again.

It's zidane who has been winning UCL three times in a row.

Well ... pep guardiola might break that record easily in the future.

Despite for now it might be still far away but considering the current pep guardiola form with manchester city that pretty rare get a loss and especially in champions league that they pretty often get through the quarter final even semi final which if they do that repeatedly for the next 10 years ... pep could break that record in less than 10 years.

From last season or now, Manchester City always has a big chance to win, but it doesn't rule out that the opponent is Real Madrid. Now it can be reversed to see the positive trend of Manchester City which has the potential to win 3 trophies at once. The FA Cup is in sight, the Premier League leaves only a narrow gap from Arsenal and it is certain that it will fall again into the hands of Manchester City because Arsenal's role is only to maintain the top of the standings.

Then his task at UCL is to conquer Madrid, if he succeeds in conquering then against Inter or AC Milan even though Manchester City will be the favorites. Regardless, we're back again Madrid is Madrid and it's very unpredictable when facing a team as great as Manchester City. Even though having Haaland doesn't mean that Ancelotti doesn't have a ready strategy. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola also anticipates that if Haaland movement is locked, then De Bruyne, Mahrez, Bernando, Foden, Grealish, and Gondogan can all be said to have fairly average skills and that will be an expanding task for Madrid's defense.

Real Madrid's focus is only on the UCL and Copa Del Rey, so it will definitely do everything possible to win. Meanwhile, Man City's focus is divided into three because all have the chance to win. So if Real Mandrid wins against Man City, don't ask again who won the UCL, it's definitely Real Madrid, and vice versa. Because if we look at its history, Real Madrid has always been a disaster for English clubs in the UCL. Will Manchester City be the next victim? Chelsea and Liverpool have been grounded.

[Docnaster]

Inter and Milan are the same in Serie A. Inter are only better above it. It's hard to predict who will win, but there might be a boring final in June. Maybe Milan are more experienced in UCL. They have a better history than Inter. But history will not affect tomorrow's Semi-final match. Because of course statistics will only strengthen the confidence of players, not make a benchmark for winning matches. The last two games of 2023 Inter have always won, even Milan could not make a goal in those two games.

Milan have many Champion  League trophies than Inter Milan but last performance Inter have better with last winning tittle season 2010 than AC Milan got tittle in season 2007. Its seems Milan have waiting since more than 16 years for qualifying to semifinal stage in Champion League than Inter last achievement with treble season 2010 or 13 years ago. Difficult for predicting who favored qualify to final stage because in domestic league between Inter or Milan underperformance and difficult reach to top fourth standings in this season.

Personally I favorite with Inter Milan will success lead to final stage Champion League than Milan, have better squad than Milan is my reason why Inter have bigger chance will play in final stage.

it is difficult to predict between Milan and Inter while these two teams have similarities in recent performance but for me it is not Inter who will qualify for the finals but Milan who will qualify for the finals.
although many say that Inter Milan is much better this season than Milan, but I just can't doubt that Milan has pocketed more experience than Inter Milan. even though in the last few leagues maybe Milan didn't perform well but they seemed to be saving their strength to compete in the UCL.

I dominate choosing Milan over Inter.

The UEFA Champions League semi final tie between the two Italian giants has left so many football faithfuls a with a very difficult predicting options. And that's one of the beauties of the beautiful game of football.
AC Milan was the least expected to eliminate their opponent in the quarter finals but they still still progressed while Inter Milan also won the both legs of their quarter final encounter with Benfica to reach this stage as well. But if you ask me, I think Inter Milan are gonna play in Istanbul at the expense of AC Milan

[Velvet78]

Manchester City are still the favourite for the Champions League title by a big odd margin. It isn't surprising to see at all as it has been the same since beginning of the first games here. They are going to need to get past technically the biggest obstacle among the teams remaining in the tournament. Real Madrid are literally the king around here as you know.

Manchester City were strong in the previous season as well maybe but now there is still a significant level of difference. Haaland's impact is big and he will be their best card against Real Madrid to have their revenge.

[Tellek Garing]

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.

It's like Ronaldo who was the the best player in 2008, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, also one of the best footballers in Real Madrid, but now he's already nothing. The difference Ronaldo and Modric is, Ronaldo's contract wasn't get extended and Modric is still get extended.

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.

It's true if experience is important especially he's play at central midfielder position, but he get beaten by a prime and younger midfielders if we talk about the speed and stamina. On the other hands, Manchester City's midfielder have all of those criteria.

That's why, Real Madrid is a good club, but Manchester City is better than them.

It's an age issue, I don't think it's wise to compare players who already have a lot of experience and have proven to help their team to success with young players. I mean their consistency is still questionable for this young player. Modric is without a doubt one of the best midfielders ever, only now he is declining due to his age. It's not the performance that's decreasing, but more the speed and aggressiveness. But I can still say he is a midfielder who gives comfort to his team.

I will not subscribe to they statement that "Ronaldo is already nothing" Christiano Ronald has been a prolific scorer and dominant force in England , Spain and Italy during his career. Ronaldo most obvious skills, speed in the open space long limbs pumping, and ability to dribble opponents one-on-one can never be mastered. Christiano Ronald is doing undoubtedly well for his club it does not matter what odds are stacked against him, Christian Ronaldo's desire to succeed prevails his indomitable will is unique and something is rarely seen yes age has greatly affected Ronaldo it is a normal thing for every player to go through this process. So saying Ronald is already nothing is funny to say.

I don't understand why anyone thinks that Milan or Inter have an advantage in this match. In my opinion, these are two teams of equal quality and their match in the semi-finals of the Champions League will be completely uncertain and open.
In the Italian league, they are also very close to each other in terms of performance and are fighting a big battle for the Champions League.
In the previous round of the Champions League, they knocked out Benfica and Napoli, clubs that some saw as favorites even to appear in the Champions League final this year.
Milan and Inter have a great opportunity to play again in the final of the Champions League after many years, and they will do everything to achieve that result.

In fact, Inter Milan had a better performance a few weeks ago, or better to say they got good results until a few weeks ago and then they were unstable for a few weeks, But recently Ac Milan got good results, especially in the game they had against Napoli and now because these good results they even have a better atmosphere to have better performance.

Manchester City last season also had the advantage and almost qualified for the final. Even Man City won in the first leg and even in the second leg Man City had the advantage until the 90th minute. But Madrid turned things around at the end of the game in extra minutes in the second leg match. which made Man City have to give up to fall in the semi-finals.

but this time it looks like Man City also has Haaland who is always hungry to score goals. So that Man City's attack line this season is even better than last season. while Real Madrid seems to be holding on with their strongest squad like last season.

[barisbilgili]

Who says that Inter has been much stronger than Milan this season? As far as I can see they are about as even as it could get in Serie A with respect to both the points and the goals scored and conceded. There isn't really much of a difference between them. Inter has beaten Juventus in Coppa Italia, which I think shows that they are definitely able to beat Milan as well in the Champions League. This is a 50:50 game in my opinion. None of the teams really has an edge over the other team. Inter has a bit more pressure in the league as well if they want to qualify for the Champions League. Even though I think they can beat Milan, I doubt that without tons of luck they could also win the title in this competition.

Yes, it seems that Inter and Milan's performances are not much different, in Serie A they are also not very consistent. Maybe if you look at the performances of these two teams since the group phase, the Nerazzurri are a bit more favorites because they were able to overcome difficult obstacles. But I agree that the match between the two teams from this city has the same opportunity. It is very difficult to predict who will qualify for the final. There are several factors that will later determine their steps, such as pursuing targets in Serie A. Pioli and Inzaghi certainly have to rack their brains to be able to provide the best for their team and which targets will be their top priority.

At present the conditions of the two teams are not much different, AC Milan and Inter Milan must also focus on Serie A to compete with several other teams in order to finish in the top 4 of the final standings in order to get a ticket to the next. UCL season.

regardless of the inconsistent performance of these two teams throughout this season but I think it doesn't have a big effect because surely the two teams will put out their best performance and will be very focused on the semifinals of the UCL this season, being able to get to the semifinals is an extraordinary thing for both teams, this is far from the prediction of many people that these two milan city teams can go this far.

and for the possibility that will pass I also think that both of them have the same possibility, it is difficult to predict because the two teams have team strengths that are not much different.

Manchester City team is very promising this time, there is a good chance of securing the victory of this team in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Because Manchester City is progressing remarkably in the Premier League. However, if Manchester City wants to secure the victory with Real Madrid, they will have to apply great strategy.

[KTChampions]

These are quotes for the first game where Real Madrid plays at home and therefore it is not very clear how much the bookmakers consider City as a favorite. Here are quotes for the outcome of the confrontation:

To Qualify

Real Madrid 3.35

Manchester City FC 1.32

A huge bias in favor of the City, it is almost 75% to 25%. Perhaps this is a fair estimate, but still I will hope that we will see exactly the 25% where the City will be knocked out again.

The bookmakers do not consider so many things before they release odds but in a popular match as yhe one between Real Madrid and Manchester City, all the stats are available and the bookmakers must have investigated well. Most times they chose to play mind games to deceive the gamblers.
But for this match while bookmakers favoured Manchester could be because of these reasons;
1. Manchester City is more in form than Real Madrid
2. Some key Madrid players are already out because of injuries. Player such as Modric and Militao

Yes, I have no questions about the fundamental justification of the coefficients. But sometimes bookmakers behave in the exact opposite way - for example, poor (this season) Sevilla is quoted quite well in the Europa League. It seems to me that this happens only because of their historical achievements in this tournament. But if we go back to the Champions League, doesn't Real Madrid have the richest history in this competition than all the others (and even more so than City). At the same time, they are eternal underdogs.

What Man City must do in the semi-final match later in order to win against Real Madrid is by having a high level of confidence and also they cannot be careless until the final whistle sounds. because last season a tragedy occurred for Man city in the last minute. which robbed them of any hope of barely qualifying for the finals. Man City must learn from defeat last season. but I also feel that Man City's performance this season is really much better than last season. But last season Real Madrid also struggled against Man City. so I think even this time Real Madrid will struggle.

[rendravolt]

Real Madrid's focus is only on the UCL and Copa Del Rey, so it will definitely do everything possible to win. Meanwhile, Man City's focus is divided into three because all have the chance to win. So if Real Mandrid wins against Man City, don't ask again who won the UCL, it's definitely Real Madrid, and vice versa. Because if we look at its history, Real Madrid has always been a disaster for English clubs in the UCL. Will Manchester City be the next victim? Chelsea and Liverpool have been grounded.

The previous season, Manchester City had been a victim of Real Madrid and it looks like the same thing will happen again this season. Currently the focus of these two teams is still divided by the several active competitions they are in, including the champions league. But Real Madrid's chances of winning the Copa Del Rey are getting closer in the next two weeks.

But this will also have a significant impact on the stamina of the Real Madrid players because after the final match is delayed 3 days later they will face Manchester City in the UCL semifinals and of course Pep Guardiola's squad will greatly benefit from the fatigue of the Real Madrid players.

Meanwhile, Manchester City is also at a disadvantage because they have to play two solid domestic league matches on May 4 and May 6 before playing against Real Madrid. So I think the two teams will be very even with the fatigue of each player. Now the heavy task is on the shoulders of the two coaches, they must be able to rotate their players to get maximum results and it seems that it is not easy.

[AakZaki]

They still have many players who have won 5 or less Champions League titles with them in the last 10 years. With those players, I have no doubt about their strong mentality and it is not their problems. They more likely have problems with their physical bodies, fitness and strength as ageing is not avoid any player.

Of course it's a big benefit, but with their age I'm also worried. The history of the game is quite balanced. Every game at home, Madrid and Man City always win. This is worrying because Madrid's second leg has to go to England. Man City today is much different to last season. Anceloti must be vigilant, they must lock Haaland. In addition, Madrid's central midfielder must be able to control the midfield so that Man City midfielders are not easy to build an attack.

[bekti3]

Milan and Inter have a great opportunity to play again in the final of the Champions League after many years, and they will do everything to achieve that result.

Agree with what you said, because regardless of anything at the moment their condition is quite balanced, whether it's from a performance or from a player's point of view, it's actually not much different.
In this case their match is still a little difficult to predict but indeed for h2h Inter are quite the favorites but obviously this also cannot be used as a reference even though they are favorites for h2h because of course this comes back to confidence in the next 90 minutes.

Carlo Ancelotti have pressure with Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, they are the key for Manchester City winning all Champion League match, indeed Real Madrid have good record against Manchester City but seems difference with The Citizen performance in this season with Haaland as goals machine. Real Madrid should control the games against Manchester City and as possible have dominance in midfielder area, never give chance for De Bruyne control the games and he was smart players with how brilliants assists created for Erling Haaland. All madrid defender should learned back how to stop De Bruyne and Haaland not give them space for controlling the ball.

[Coyster]

Real Madrid should control the games against Manchester City and as possible have dominance in midfielder area,

Well, i don't think Real Madrid are going to control the game against Manchester City, in last season's SF when the both sides squared off, City controlled the game for the both legs, and still did not win. I don't think any football side can control the game against Manchester City, you just have to come up with a different game plan, and last season Real Madrid chose to hit City on the counter attack, which they were successful at.

Having said that, i don't expect Real Madrid to seek complete dominance against City, they will be patient and wait for their time on the counter attack, but i think it is City that would progress to the final this time around, they definitely must have learnt their lessons from last season and i am pretty sure they'd not allow it to repeat again this time around.

It is not possible for Real Madrid to control and donate the game against Manchester City, but what exactly do we mean by the term Control? Real Madrid is not a team that plays on a lot of possession. That is not their way of playing and they are not at their best at it. They will let City play far forward and will watch for small individual mistakes and then strike on the counter. It is often said of Real Madrid that they can only counter, but of course they can do much more than just counter. The counter part has been elevated by art by Real Madrid and last year things went wrong for City in a completely different way. What happened then in the match Real Madrid - Manchester City is still incomprehensible.

What do you football fans think in the semi-finals of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Manchester City? I see both teams as very strong. However, Real Madrid's striker Karim Benzema is ahead in terms of strategy and experience. On the other hand, Manchester City's Arling Halland is in one of the best forms. It will be a really great match.

Manchester city will on their best performance on that day. They will dominate the match but might not be able to win the match. If they can resist Real Madrid strikers then I must say that they will succeed in winning Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will use their own strategy to overcome Manchester city game because if they are determined, they always have a way of winning. Vinicius and Benzema are good strikers that should be watched out for. I think this should be an opportunity for Manchester city to payback Real Madrid in their own coin and win the league. This is the first time they will feature in the semifinals,it shows that they have improved in the league.

Milan and Inter have a great opportunity to play again in the final of the Champions League after many years, and they will do everything to achieve that result.

I also say that the match between these two teams is very difficult to predict because both teams are very strong in terms of all the quality of the players and if you look at Serie A, the two teams are not much different.
yes maybe this cannot be predicted when Inter will play against Milan but I can only speculate that Milan has a chance to continue to the next round.

there may be some who disagree with my argument but this is just my prediction.
