UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Falconer]

I see very little chance of AC Milan securing victory in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Because Inter Milan is performing incredibly well in every league. Compared to AC Milan, Inter Milan's players are much stronger and full of experience. So considering all aspects, Inter Milan is more likely.

I'm not going to completely disprove it, but you have to realize that Milan actually managed to beat Napoli who were touted as Champions League favorites despite doing better in Serie A than Milan.

The atmosphere in the Champions League matches are very different, but it is clear that Inter and Milan both have experience in the Champions League and the rivalry of these two teams is known to be quite fierce throughout history. The Milan derby is very unexpected, but Milan I believe will be in the final.

Even though the final is a match that I also look forward to, for me AC Milan is too careless if it only focuses on the UCL. Because the UCL match is a much more difficult match for AC Milan than Serie-A. They should also consider that if they fail this season and in the final standings of Serie A they don't get a UCL spot, then their focus is in vain because there are no other options next season. vs Madrid or City is not balance for Milan, just a luck and miracle that can give them win over one of them.

I agree, they do need to care about the league as much as they care about UCL as well. If they win the UCL matchup and go to finals that would be great for them to be at the finals but then they may not be in UCL next season, Napoli, Lazio, Juventus and Inter may go and Milan may become fifth, so there is no reason to risk it. League is very important right now. However, I am really worried if players can't win both in the league and in the UCL game at the same time.

We always talk about "focus on this or that" and so forth but we should be seeing them do fine don't we? I mean they are physically gifted people who train everyday, so they should be able to provide focus for both games and win them, there shouldn't be any excuse at all if you ask me.

The Milan derby is very unexpected, but Milan I believe will be in the final.

It takes a stroke of luck to predict the winner between two formidable teams from Italy, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Even then, predictions can fall flat as the fierce competition between these two teams is highly unpredictable. Personally, I am inclined to favor Inter Milan over AC Milan. The current roster of AC Milan lacks the allure, and even the 41-year-old Ibrahimovic cannot singlehandedly serve as their goal-scoring machine. In contrast, Inter Milan has a productive striker in Lautaro Martinez, who can be relied upon. Martinez has shone brightly in Serie A. My prediction is a narrow victory for Inter Milan in the first leg of the Champions League against AC Milan.

[Huppercase]

people are just predicting this game like a child's play, Real Madrid in champions league is different from the league Madrid, to me Real Madrid has no mate in champions league, Manchester city is not a threat to Madrid in spite of their great performance this season, i still be Real Madrid will outshine them all with their experienced players in the team. Manchester city lacks champions league experience and they are facing the defending champion, it will be tough game though, but am shaking on Real madrid for the final.

It is true that Real Madrid is a completely different team when they are playing in the champions league, and as we now they have history on their side not only because they are the team that has won the champions league the most times but they are also the defending champions, but at the same time the performance of Manchester city during the previous matches seems to be above to what the Real Madrid has been offering, so I will give Manchester city an edge, but I do not think they are going to dominate the game that easily.

A comparison between last season and this season reveals a stark difference in the styles of play between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Manchester City performed well last season, and they've continued to improve this season. On the other hand, Real Madrid's performance has been inconsistent, which has contributed to their inability to compete with Barcelona in the Laliga. If Real Madrid manages to overcome their current challenges in this stage with Manchester City, I will say it was last year luck that save them this season again. Otherwise, their chances of advancing further are slim.

Manchester City did not buy Haaland to win more Premier League titles or have a striker who win a Best scorer award in Premier League. They have enough quality players to dominate Premier League in last 10 years. Haaland came to help them solving their difficulty in Champions League and he will be one of biggest hopes of Manchester City in semi finals with Real Madrid.

With Haaland, Manchester City will have a striker who can score goals from headshots which they were very bad in previous seasons and more than that Haaland can be a target and middle man to make key passes to Manchester City attacking players. Real Madrid will have to spend player resource to follow Haaland but at the same time they will have to cope with risk from other attacking players of Manchester City.

I don't sure Haaland can help Manchester City winning Primer League although he was success lead as top scorer awhile between Primer League and Champion League competition, its not talking about performance but also need winning mentality how to be winner in Champion League. Did you remember with Real Madrid vs Manchester City second leg match last season? have lead awhile but Madrid with winning mentality for Champion League can comeback and success lead until final stage.

Manchester City less experience winning mentality in Champion League although dominance every season in domestic league, I am waiting with Haaland contribution against Real Madrid on second leg, will he can scoring many goals or not?

[Docnaster]

Now everything looks difficult for Milan to occupy the Champions League zone in Serie A. Every team in the top 6 will compete for the last 1 place in the Champions League zone. So I think Inter is the one who makes it possible to win the zone that last.

Agreed, Intermilan seems on fire right now. Acmilan must have been competing with some clubs like as roma and atalanta. It will be so difficult for acmilan to be qualified for UCL next season. Ac milan needs to win any matches until the last match to make sure it will be qualified for UCL with the hope intermilan will be losing points in the future. Acmilan has no chance anymore if intermilan keep winning the game until the end of season. Ac milan can pray to the god to see inter will have sloppy performance in the future.

However, no one knows for sure how each team will be at the end of the season, but because Serie A only has five matches remaining, Milan does not seem to have many chances to win one place in the Champions League zone. Napoli, Lazio, Juventus and Inter are the teams most likely to qualify for next season's Champions League, so Milan will likely regret their poor results in their last few matches.

None knows but im sure that if iwe can predict it easily through seeing the result from previous matches. The chance for ac milan is pretty small at this moment.

Inter are confident and scoring goals again, having amassed a third consecutive league victory which means they are now fourth in the table.

On the other hand there is the disappointed and frightened Milan, who again seem to have lost all their certainties in what has been a real roller coaster 2023 for Stefano Pioli’s side thus far.

The result from semi final will determine the future of milan. Acmilan has been missing so many points in serie a. UCL must become the only way for milan to be qualified for UCL.

AC Milan will be doing much harm to themselves if they are trying to save energy for the Champions League semi final encounter with Inter Milan instead of playing well in the league and win league matches that they will play before the first match of that tie.
There's no guarantee that they're gonna eliminate Inter Milan no matter how well they preserve their important players. Inter seems to be on fire at the moment and that's a bad new for their rivals. I think Inter Milan are gonna come out victorious on this one

[alpamar99]

Wasn't it like that last season too?
Even last season Manchester City was very proud but in the end they had to lose with their high confidence.
At the moment the chances of both teams are still very big even with Manchester City's very deadly conditions but Madrid also has a good enough depth of the squad, it's just that the problem of physical fitness has always been the main real problem until now for Madrid.

Many people said this season gonna be difference caused by there was haaland in manchester city's side. I don't even know why people don't even count benzema at this moment as this guy has ever won d'or as best striker in the world.
Real madrid has been facing so many schedules which were having short time gap. Ancelotti is also sacrifice some points in laliga for the preparation against manchester city soon. Real madrid is a toughest opponent in UCL now.
It's also able beating any big clubs even when real madrid is under very big pressure. I don't even know why people are always underestimating real madrid since last season.
People like close their eyes with the fact.

Haaland did play very well this season for Manchester City but as you said in this case, Madrid is not a team with only a group of ordinary players.
Haaland is a good striker in goal productivity but that is also not separated from the support of some good players in terms of indulgent passes so that Madrid still has a chance if it can close the movement of the players from City so it is quite funny to say that Haaland is a big differentiator because of his condition still pretty much the same.

[izsara]

Real Madrid is surely not having the best of season in their domestic league but one thing about the club is that they know how to play in the Champions League competition.
Manchester on the other hand has been exceptionally great this season both in the domestic games and in the UEFA Champions League competition but I still don't think that it gives them an edge over Real Madrid. Manchester City got eliminated by Madrid at this same stage of the competition last season and will surely wanna take a revenge this time but it'll be a very hard for them to achieve that against the most successful club in the competition

Their extensive experience and the status of defending champions for now, of course, can make a spirit booster for them.
Manchester City are a tough opponent and we know that but Madrid are also quite special because given their condition they are always capable of doing things that were thought to be impossible even for the Champions League like last season.

But personally I think Manchester City deserves to win the Champions League this season. Because of the consistency, solidity of the team and the performance they have shown throughout the season both in the local league and in the UCL has impressed me with this team. But in the Champions League, excellence cannot be measured only by the team's ability to play. but also must be assessed in terms of the mentality of the players. And Real Madrid excels in this regard. But still I will support Manchester City. because they need the award.

That still can't be a reference because when you say it's appropriate, Madrid is also very worthy at this time.
Manchester City are still very ambitious to bring their Champions League trophy for the first time to the Etihad but in several seasons it has always failed and their chance is still very big only in this condition it is also clear that Madrid will not let it be easy.

The Milan derby is very unexpected, but Milan I believe will be in the final.

their chances are still 50:50 because in my opinion they are an even force in these two teams.  but yes the difference will occur in the Champions league matches because the quality of their play will be more different than their game in the domestic league. I see that there are quite positive things for Ac milan in this match because they are better and have more experience than inter milan.

but in another match between real madrid vs manchester city if we look at their history in the ucl of course real madrid is better than manchester city, even real madrid is the most successful team in the champions league. even though manchester city has a stronger squad, i think they will also find it difficult to beat real madrid.

[asriloni]

Even if real madrid are in top shape beating man city will remain extreamly difficult i think both kroos and modric will be needed to take care of de bruyne but that doesn't mean it will stop man city since they have many other dangerous players who are capable of creating and scoring goals, i think this is real madrid greatest challenge in the ucl in recent years.

I do agree with it. That's why i don't even count manchester city as easy opponent for madrid. The fact that if manchester city is pretty much the same like chelsea in the past. This club is very strong team in UCL. Madrid was almost losing against manchester city last season but rodrygo was making madrid able to comeback again manchester city before the match would be ended. It's very good to see that if the epic match is coming again. Manchester city is try to learn from its mistake in the past about what shall be done to beat manchester city.
Haaland has become the main key for city to do that as the defensive line of real madrid was not so good right now. Real Madrid has conceded so many goals.

Some main defenders were coming back again like nathan ake which has become a part from city. City will face real madrid with the best squads. Pep has been preparing for that time.

Now we will only have to wait in a few more days whether this will go well for them or not because of course they realize that they will not be able to win if they cannot get past Madrid.
On the other hand, this is an arena for revenge that they can do, but will this go smoothly because the two previous teams who wanted to do that (Liverpool and Chelsea) always failed and were eliminated by Madrid.

And in fact we have seen many situations where when the ball was prevented from reaching Haaland, this could affect the effectiveness of Man City's attack. but the problem is that almost all of Man City's attackers have good productivity. and what I've always noticed about Man City's forwards is that sometimes they don't come out with full confidence. There were even times when Haaland had trouble getting the ball in one match.

Both teams has quite a record in the Champions league although Real Madrid have dropped drastically in terms of form and Manchester City on the other hand are showing huge improvement this season. I think Real Madrid will be facing a tough test going head to head against this formidable Manchester City team.

[Despairo]

I don't sure Haaland can help Manchester City winning Primer League although he was success lead as top scorer awhile between Primer League and Champion League competition, its not talking about performance but also need winning mentality how to be winner in Champion League. Did you remember with Real Madrid vs Manchester City second leg match last season? have lead awhile but Madrid with winning mentality for Champion League can comeback and success lead until final stage.

I'm enough with a discussion about mentality, do you think Bayern Munich is doesn't have a good mentality? they get beaten by Manchester City easily with 3 goals margin. Manchester City isn't always leading in all matches, sometime they lost and sometime their opponents have scored earlier than them, but they still managed to score more goals in order to win.

It's not about mentality, but the problem is Manchester City's goalkeeper e.g. Ederson Moraes haven't show a good saves. If you ask me which is the worst player in Manchester City among 11 players, I will say Ederson Moraes.

[Cryptmuster]

I'm sure that Milan understands this situation and they certainly would like to improve their position in Serie A, but now the table looks like that from the second to the seventh place, all teams retain a chance to compete for a place in the Champions League. Today Milan will play with Lazio, and it is difficult to predict how they will be set up for this match, because in a few days they will have a Champions League match with Inter. Hoping to win the Champions League and thus securing a place in the Champions League would be too presumptuous...

Of course, this is a tough challenge for Real Madrid when they have to face Manchester City again, as well as for Manchester City, this is a very difficult task for them to beat Real Madrid, especially when they have memories that were not wearing last season when they were eliminated by Real Madrid. . The revenge mission is definitely one of the targets that Manchester City will target, after their defeat last season.

I don't even think if real madrid has been dropping so hard. I meant we are talking about UCL. Real madrid may be having bad results in the previous matches on la liga but it's quite different when it comes to the UCL. Real madrid is still having good win rate at this moment as well as manchester city. Ancelotti is putting a lot of his focus in the match against manchester city caused by it will become the hardest match for real madrid. It will be even far harder compared with the match against barcelona. Real Madrid needs to take serious preparation right now.

De bruyne is coming back right now. Real madrid needs to use everything to stop haaland. Haaland is the main problem for real madrid. As long as real madrid knew how to stop him and it's gonna be a very important thing for madrid to win the game against city in santiago bernabeu.

I think that Manchester City is the favorite to qualify further in this encounter.I am not in any way underestimating Real Madrid as they have won Champions League more than any other team and not for nothing they are called the team Queen of Europe but because this time simply Manchester City has better quality players than Real does with all due respect to Real.

Manchester City was near eliminating them last year when their quality was not the same as this year and they lost it I don't know why in the last 3 minutes of the second encounter but I know this most likely won't happen again.

In football, many things are not logical, but eventually they happen, so it is very difficult to predict anything in advance.
Who could have expected that at the World Cup in Qatar, Morocco and Croatia would knock Spain, Portugal and Brazil out of the competition and play in the semi-finals?
Who could have expected that Real would win the Champions League several times in recent years, while PSG and Manchester City never?
Yes, the quality of football players is very important, but it is not crucial because otherwise Manchester City and PSG, who bought the best and most expensive players, should play in the Champions League final every year.
Much more important is the internal unity of the team, the experience of playing under great pressure and the confidence that you will win even in the most difficult possible situations. Real have shown that they have it all, and Manchester City have yet to show that they have what it takes to win the Champions League.

It's ancelotti's ersponsibility to bring back the best performance of real madrid again. Real madrid has been suffering the bad result in the previous matches on la liga. I do know if people may feel doubt caused by real madrid got some bad results in the local league.
Ancelotti will have done so many evaluations to the performance from real madrid in the previous games. It's likely that if madrid gonna try to rotate some players too against manchester city.
Its defenders have become the main concern as madrid conceded so many goals during the last games against girona and sociedad. It's unacceptable result to see madrid has very weak defensive line this time.
A lots of works must be done by ancelotti as a response to fix the problem that has been coming to the real madrid.

Madrid needs to focus first against osassuna caused by it's also a final match in copa del rey. Madrid may use it as a way to boost its mentality before it will face city.
