UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

I believe that Inter and Milan are at similar strength right now. I don't think it will be the same for Milan as a result after facing a very tough challenge against Napoli in the previous round. They should be able to balance the game in both legs this time. The stadium is the same for both teams in the end so technically there is no home-away situation exactly.
Milan seem like they have lost their concentration a little in the Serie A. Because they had big issues with beating Cremonese the last time and couldn't as well. Maybe they have their mind on the Champions League now. They had better have because there is a huge opportunity to reach the finale in their hands.

I consider AC Milan as favorites in this match. Qualified for the semi-finals by defeating strong teams like Napoli. Milan's performance in Serie A is not very good as we know. However, in the Champions League, they are performing very well. I believe they will be able to continue this streak. I do not consider the Inter Milan team to be weak. This group is very strong. And in very good form they are. They have won all three matches in Serie A. Inter Milan's chances of winning are not low. But my favorite team in this match will be AC Milan. The match will surely be very competitive. Inter Milan vs AC Milan matches are always very exciting.

Both of these clubs have the ability to beat each other, and to be honest it will be difficult to predict who will win in this match. Many make AC Milan the favourite, but not a few also want Inter Milan to be in the final. As for the match, of course the match will be very interesting, we know they are rivals in Serie A so besides fighting for the final place here they will also play with very high prestige, and want to beat each other.

The dreaming and my predicting UEFA Champion League final Real Madrid vs Inter Milan

I don't underestimate with Manchester City on the top performance in Primer League but Pep Guardiola have less experience in Champion League after leaving Barcelona, he failed many time with Manchester City and actually Real Madrid are complete team with winning mentality for Champion League. For AC Milan why not favorite team will play in final depend on inconsistent performance in domestic league, current standing have dropped out from Champion League and Europe League spot placed after held draw by Cremonese and Milan should focus how to return back with top fourth standing if want participants in Champion League competition upcoming season.

I understand that because we have different predictions and opinions about the 4 clubs that will compete in the semifinals to get 2 tickets to the Champions League final this season. Indeed, in terms of experience, Manchester City is no better than Real Madrid, but now their situation is enough to see which club has played consistently this season. Manchester City as a team looks more prepared than Real Madrid, but I don't know whether they will be mentally strong or not when they face Real Madrid. Real madrid themselves are mentally better, but I don't know if that will make them win this game or not.

As I said in the La Liga thread, Barcelona's victory is now 100% certain, so Real Madrid can let go and devote themselves exclusively to the cup.
I think Real Madris are a bit angry, I expect them to play aggressive

Even though Real Madrid can play aggressively, is it promising enough for Real Madrid to beat Manchester City and qualify for the final? Because for me, playing aggressively is still not enough for a team to get good results, you can also pay attention when a favorite team has bad luck. Because, even though a favorite team can dominate the match and or dominate all statistics in a match, but when the team is having bad luck, the dominance they have in the match still cannot make the team win.

Therefore, even though at this moment Real Madrid will of course play their best in the Champions League, but I'm sure Real Madrid still doesn't have a big chance of qualifying for the final. But yes, even so I also don't consider Real Madrid to be weak or unlucky, because at this moment Manchester City are also in their best form and at least that will make Real Madrid not have a big chance to win.

Yes, after being eliminate from the top of the Serie A standings, Milan can focus more on the semifinals of the Champions League
As for Inter, they is under pressure from other teams in Serie A. It makes them confused and I think Inter need to sacrifice one in between the Champions League and Serie A to continue fight to the ambition of lift trophy this season.
The Inter vs Milan match in the semifinals of the Champions League will be much more difficult to predict

Even though they have lost the title in La Liga, I think Real Madrid just needs to motivate their confidence to reach the Champions League final and don't need to be more aggressive. Moreover, their opponent is Manchester City, which has a monster goal scorer, Erling Haaland, Real Madrid should still be wary of this player so he can't move freely. Los Blancos' focus is divided into two, but the main and closest mission before the semifinal match is to play the CDR final match against Osasuna, so after the match is over especially if Real Madrid can win the CDR then they will have additional enthusiasm when they face Manchester City later.

I agree, that the clash of the two teams from Milan is totally open as they just seem to be pretty much on the exact same level at the moment. The draw of Milan in the Serie A is very unlucky for them obviously because the race for the champion League spots is very tight this year but i don' think this will mean that much for the Champions League match because this is a totally different competition and for both clubs probably the biggest match they had for at least 5 years or so.
That being said, it doesn't matter which one of those teams will advance into the final because either one would be the huge underdog against Manchester City or Real Madrid, but then again this is football and everything can happen in a final.

I feel like both Milan and Inter have equal chances to win this series, and this is why I am going to bet on home teams to win their own games, that is what I said before and that is what it will be like for my bets. I think the difference is negligible and they are not going to be overcoming each other easily. Obviously this is football and sometimes you have a bad day and you lose to teams you should not lose at all.

There are plenty of great teams who ended up losing as well, and that means whoever is as far as this much, should consider that as a good deal. I seriously believed that Napoli would have been able to beat Milan, it was a sad period when they lost, I lost a lot of money there, so I am going to be more careful this time around and not think it is in the bag.

I don't think who the opponent is. But I hope Real Madrid win and reach the final. Although I know Man City are a great team. They are very different from last year. Pep has very different players and I think stronger and they have a greater chance of winning. Last year Real Madrid went to the Etihad in the first leg and secured qualification for the second leg. This year is a little bit different and I think it's more difficult.

I think Real Madris are a bit angry, I expect them to play aggressive

At least Real Madrid has a great chance of lifting the trophy in the Copa del Rey. but indeed it will not be enough for a big team like Real Madrid. So they certainly will be more aggressive in the Champions League. but since the beginning of the Champions League at the start of this season, Real Madrid has actually become a team that focuses on the UCL. so they become hard to beat in the UCL. but in Laliga sometimes they play badly.

[rahmad2nd]

Ancelotti may apply a new match strategy in this match. In this match, the main goal of Madrid's defenders must be to resist Haaland. If the Madrid defenders are able to resist Haaland, then the Madrid players may be able to control the match. It is an advantage for Madrid that the first leg is their home match. Madrid's players will be more confident at home. To beat a big team like Manchester City, the players must be confident. Otherwise it will not be possible to win against City.

Ancelotti does not only need a new strategy, but the fitness of his players is also needed by Ancelotti because until now there are five Real Madrid players who are still injured and three of them are core players who are very often used by Ancelotti in every match. So the fitness of these players is really needed at this time, especially core players like Benzema, Modric and Vinicius because in the near future Real Madrid will also be playing in the Copa Del Rey Final apart from having to continue preparing himself to face Manchester City in the semifinals of the Champions League this season.

That's why I said, that the situation that happened to the Madrid camp was not very pleasant. ahead of the Copa del Rey cup match, several Madrid players will be absent in the match namely, Luca Modric, David Alaba, who was hit by an injury. plus, Asensio's status is doubtful because it looks like he was having problems when Madrid played against Real Sociedad. So, like it or not, Don Carlo had to play the available players. what is certain, Kroos, Tchouameni, Ceballos, will be played again in the Copa del Rey final. or Kroos rested, Valverde will play instead. Vini Jr, Benzema again became the main starter. well, if the scenario is Madrid able to score goals in the first half with lots of goals. then Don Carlo will pull some of his core players to save energy.  even then, if the scenario goes according to plan.

Referring to what you said, to be honest I doubt if Carlo ancelotti will adopt a new strategy. whether it's the final match of the Copa del Rey, or in the semifinals of the Champions League. because, he tried it once and it failed miserably against Barcelona. so Don Carlo's priority is to maintain the fitness of his players. because, it seems like he doesn't have much choice.
As for City, they will also be preoccupied with a busy schedule. however City were luckier, as several second-tier players had qualities that were quite on par with the first team.

Their eagerness won't offer them an advantage in their ability to easily defeat Manchester City. To beat Manchester City, they must remain composed and play with very good positioning. Being at the top of the league standing is not what Manchester City strive for most; instead, winning the champions league is more significant to them.

In order to break Real Madrid's ties with the champions league trophy, I think Pep's team will be well-prepared. Although Real Madrid won their previous encounter with them in the Champions League, I believe this season is different because of the good numbers of talented players Manchester City now has.

[bayu7adi]

I don't think who the opponent is. But I hope Real Madrid win and reach the final. Although I know Man City are a great team. They are very different from last year. Pep has very different players and I think stronger and they have a greater chance of winning. Last year Real Madrid went to the Etihad in the first leg and secured qualification for the second leg. This year is a little bit different and I think it's more difficult.

Indeed, last year Real Madrid had a very difficult time defeating Man City in the two-leg match. During the game at Bernabeu between Madrid and Man City, it seemed that Man City had the upper hand and widened the aggregate score gap to 5-3 in their favor. With only 17 minutes left, everyone was convinced that Man City would advance to the final. However, fate favored the home team greatly. In the remaining 17 minutes, Madrid was able to score 2 goals, and an additional goal during extra time.

Can Madrid hope for such luck again in this year's match? It is safer to bet on the number of goals rather than on who will win.

Even if Real madrid wins the copa del rey they won't still be satisfied because they have been targeting champions league,  their focus in the Champions league is what has kept them till this point. For the fact that Real Madrid has more interest in champions league, they stand a chance of winning just like the way they they won in previous season. People are using real madrid performance in laliga to assess if really they can win in champions league. Real Madrid's game in the finals will be different from what we have seen in laliga

The Champions League semi-final this time will indeed be more difficult for Real Madrid. and I doubt there will be the same magic as last season. And actually last season Real Madrid got a miracle that I haven't seen in other matches. because actually the 3 goals in the second leg all happened in just 5 minutes, namely between minutes 90 to extra minutes 91 and 95. And last season was also a nightmare for Man City. So this season Man City will definitely try to avenge the painful defeat suffered by Man City in the semi-finals last season.

[Distraction]

Manchester City should be able to become one of the finalists this time. It is the obvious truth that they are stronger than Real Madrid on paper. There is a huge Haaland effect in this to happen also. As you might have heard he has broken a record in the Premier League new. He now has the most goals scored in a Premier League season. He is such a special striker in football history already at this young age.

He will be their most powerful gun against Real Madrid also. So far there hasn't been any defense which is able defend Haaland solidly. He has such a strong physique that it is very difficult to go one-on-one with him. His finishing skills are also unique. We have already seen so many kinds of goals from him. I don't think Real Madrid defense is also credible enough to keep him away. Therefore Real Madrid had better be more solid at scoring goals to try to make up for possible defensive problems.

I consider AC Milan as favorites in this match. Qualified for the semi-finals by defeating strong teams like Napoli. Milan's performance in Serie A is not very good as we know. However, in the Champions League, they are performing very well. I believe they will be able to continue this streak. I do not consider the Inter Milan team to be weak. This group is very strong. And in very good form they are. They have won all three matches in Serie A. Inter Milan's chances of winning are not low. But my favorite team in this match will be AC Milan. The match will surely be very competitive. Inter Milan vs AC Milan matches are always very exciting.

As for the match, of course the match will be very interesting, we know they are rivals in Serie A so besides fighting for the final place here they will also play with very high prestige, and want to beat each other.

Comparing the two Napoli clubs to Milan in the champions league is unfair.
This is all because of course clubs that enter the champions league will have higher performance than in series A and of course all clubs that qualify for the champions league will certainly improve all strategies and the quality of the players will certainly be better in the champions league.

It is undeniable that Real Madrid's main focus is the Champions League, even from the start of the season at Laliga. I still remember that in the UCL group stage even Real Madrid played very well in the Champions League. but in Laliga they are like a team that has lost its way. at that time Real Madrid's performance in Laliga and in the UCL was like two opposite poles. because Real Madrid can consistently maintain their best performance in the UCL. although in Laliga they seemed to be struggling at the time. But in the end Real Madrid played very well. in laliga and UCL. and at least Real Madrid has also secured a ticket to the UCL next season and is trying to return. if they fail to make it to the finals this season in the UCL.

Yes Ancellotti and his tactics might work or have been working for Real Madrid in the Champions League, but then if they bring how they shamefully loss to Villarreal, Real Sociedad, then they can not find it easy winning Manchester City in the Champions League.
Manchester City has it all to get to that level, a great coach, great players and having the support of the fans.
I really do think that this is the last round for Real Madrid in the Champions League.

I'm also expecting Inter Milan to make the move the the finals, it's no more on Ac Milan.

The Inter vs Milan match in the semifinals of the Champions League will be much more difficult to predict

But if we follow the progress of the match between Inter Milan and Ac Milan in Serie A. So it seems that the semi-final match in the Champions League is starting to show which one will be more favored. Because it is precisely at this time in Serie A that Ac milan has really lost their sharpness in building attacks. Even though the pride that Ac Milan has is their line of attack which is sharp and hard to stop when they have had the chance. But the situation in Serie A is currently slightly reversed. Because recently Inter Milan has actually developed and started to become a more productive team in producing goals. Even Inter Milan managed to score 6 goals against Verona.

So betting on Inter Milan in the Semi-finals will look more interesting.

They are writing their history in Manchester City and I'm sure Guardiola will be remembered in this team because Manchester City is very much near to even winning the champions league for the first time in this hosty while they could never even be in the final match, that's why I think they have a good motivation for this game and Real Madrid is in danger more than any time.

I have them to win UCL this year and beating Real Madrid in next series might prove just that. However , I still don't underestimate Real as whenever it comes to UCL games , Real becomes another team that is mega hard to beat and play against because simple mistakes are automatically punished by Real. This year , City doesn't look fragile in any category and with Haaland in a great day , I doubt Courtais can stop him and Real do have a lot of fragile spots when they play against a team like City who do have a stile of Barca who kinda beat them 3 out of 4 games this year so yea...City is clearly favorite in this one.
