UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Luzin]

The Italian top teams have been so erratic this season (except Napoli), thus this game is so unpredictable, it is fairly even at 50-50 imo, though i think the advantage might have shifted a little bit to Inter Milan's side because of the Injury to Rafael Leao against Lazio in the weekend. Even though his manager said it does not look serious, there is still a cloud of doubt as to whether Rafael Leao will be available for Wednesday's SF first leg against Inter Milan, the Portuguese superstar is so crucial to everything that AC Milan does, and if he does not play, Inter might actually have the advantage.

Milan and Inter have worked hard to reach the semi-finals. Statistically they are in the same state. They are not very good in Serie A. Their chances of qualifying are still the same, but I chose AC Milan to qualify for the final.

Likewise myself, i have a feeling that this is Manchester City's season to win the Treble, it looks to have already been written in the skies and not even Real Madrid can stop them from getting into their 2nd CL final in their history; City would win this game both home and away.

Their chances are still the same at this time. Sometimes there are always surprising things in football. So I still hope that Real Madrid will qualify. Although I see Man City at the moment looks very perfect. This season has been the best moment for Pep because he has perfect players.

Guardiola should be looking for the best alternative and means to get Real Madrid out of the Champions League this season by now. For several years, the club has been a threat to him winning the trophy. He should have mastered their strategy by now and be able to defeat Real Madrid in the league this time around.

Several coaches, including Guardiola, who have experienced how to play with Madrid, always admit that Ancelotti can always release his players from the opponent's pressure. Therefore, it's not surprising that Pep Guardiola said that if any club wants to win the Champions League trophy, they only need to conquer one thing first, namely to beat Madrid and the road to the trophy is always easier. Even though he is currently being strengthened by Haaland as executor, Pep Guardiola still cannot calm down and is always on his guard.

Manchester city needs to be careful about Real Madrid and they should not use their performance in laliga to conclude they are weak can be won easily. It is not easy to knock out team like Real Madrid that have won the Champions League several time , they have the  secrete in winning champions league.

Of course it would be a big mistake if Manchester City tried to live up to the standards of Real Madrid by looking at them in La Liga. It is possible to measure the strength of opponents in different competitions, but now what they have learned is that Real Madrid can always make impressive surprises when they are in the Champions League. Real Madrid is a team that cannot be underestimated when they are in the Champions League, even though their performances at the domestic level are not good.

At UCL, Real Madrid plays on another level. If Manchester City underestimates them, Real Madrid is full of players who can punish them. They should take their Real Madrid match very seriously if they don't want to get a big shock. I think Manchester City is the team that is very close to passing the tour. I'm sure it will be a tough match.

What do you think about the AC Milan team? I don't think SME Loans can secure a victory against Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Because Inter Milan is performing very well in other leagues. But luck can't be told AC Milan can luckily secure the victory. It is not possible to predict the semi-finals.

It's not easy to make predictions for these two teams in the semifinals of the Champions League if you look at the performances of the two from their respective leagues, because these two teams are very close in their own league standings with a number of points that are not much different so I just assume that their matches in the semifinals of the Champions League this time it can take place more fiercely by exerting all the abilities they have.

I can say there is a higher chance for Manchester City to win that game against Real Madrid because of the recent names we saw from both teams. But in the game between Ac Milan and Inter Milan, both teams have the same situation and that's hard to predict the game between Ac Milan and Inter Milan because Inter Milan is a stable team and we can't as how they are going to perform.

Champions league is the second biggest league in football, I would say only a stupid team or stupid player will underestimate this match

I think most people have once a time in their life had a competition, the adrenaline and the feeling want to beat every participants are unbearable. Manchester City is a club which not become a champion in this league too, so there's no chance they would underestimate Real Madrid. Actually Real Madrid should be the club which could underestimate other club.

All team has a chance to qualify for the final, it's just that maybe there will be a team which will make a mistake in this semi-final, because little mistake can have a huge impact to them.

there is no doubt that Manchester City and Real Madrid are the best European teams at the moment and of course this match will be very interesting and much awaited by football lovers around the world.
Manchester City has a great desire to be able to win the UCL, in the last few seasons they have kept trying to improve to become a stronger team but the desired trophy has not come.
and this season they will try again with even better strength.

last season Manchester City was stopped by Real Madrid in the semifinals, and of course this season there is a revenge mission from Manchester City.

You are right, this match to me is the finals because any of this club that can qualify to the finals will definitely win the trophy. The most interesting part of it is that,these two clubs will play first and second leg,making it more lively and competitive compare to when it is in the finals. There is room for revenge for Man city,since it is a repetition of what happened last season and city shouldn't allow what happened last year repeats itself again. It is pay back time and for this city will take this match very personal. As for Real Madrid, I know that they know how to play city very well with a winning strategy. I am relaxing to see if city will fall for Madrid again or will fight like a man to defeat Real Madrid,because city is in a strong form.

[rendravolt]

It's true that Pep Guardiola once said that and it seems that Pep's words will forever haunt other teams competing in the Champions League, including his own team, Manchester City. There is no doubt about Real Madrid's magic in the Champions League, they can always do things beyond the capabilities of most other teams and that is what makes Real Madrid so feared or respected. What is clear is that Pep Guardiola's mission is now 100% focused on defeating Real Madrid first because if they make it to the finals then he won't worry too much about his next opponent.

Real madrid is always having something new. This club is king of comeback. Many people have known so well how many times real madrid was doing crazy comeback. Manchester city shall have taken it as serious measurements. I meant let's say that if real madrid will be losing in santiago bernabeu but iw will always make comeback when it was even playing away. The mentality from real madrid's players has been tested so many times. It's the time for ancelotti to give UCL again for the second time in a row.
It will become a great achievements by ancelotti if his club will able to take UCL trophy again this season. Im feeling so confidence with the current composition that owned by real madrid at this moment.
The bad results in the previous matches meant nothing for me as real madrid was not using the best squad against sociedad and girona. We will see that king to come back again to get its UCL trophy.

The nickname of the king of comebacks is indeed very appropriate for Real Madrid and currently only Real Madrid is capable of doing this in Europe's highest competition. Opponents are always overwhelmed when facing Real Madrid, especially English teams like Chelsea and Liverpool have repeatedly become victims. But Manchester City also experienced the same thing last season and I think if they don't learn from their mistakes then they will be sent back to England by Real Madrid.

The composition of Real Madrid is almost always the same every season and there are only a few regenerations, but overall this team still has a winning mentality that not all teams around the world have and it seems that the legacy of the seniors who have previously left Real Madrid has always left an imprint on their minds. the entire Real Madrid squad. Manchester city this time must be more vigilant and not let their guard down if they want to take revenge. Apart from all that, I really believe and support Real Madrid to be able to beat Manchester City again.

Manchester City  putting the last preparation before the embark on a highly significant Champion League semi-final first leg against Madrid Manchester City is going into that game fully prepared with the aim of securing a positive result to take them to the second leg at Etihad this semi. The final contest between the two sides also represents a perfect opportunity for Manchester City to make amend over last season's clash

[tulusikhlas]

AC Milan vs Inter Milan will be the match that will be in the semifinals of the Champions League. They must have known each other's strengths since they were teams from the same league. AC Milan looks more prepared than Inter Milan, but that is no guarantee that they will qualify for the final. Still in the match later that will determine everything. Fate was in their hands now, once they made a mistake in this match they would be punished with defeat.

People who don't understand football miss a game like UCL. I never do the stupid thing of missing a UCL match. I watch and enjoy all UCL matches. The most thrilling and exciting atmosphere I have seen in UCL matches.  

On the 10th, the football world will see another thrilling and exciting match, the semi-final match between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Regardless, one would not want to miss this highly exciting match.

Although Manchester City has a higher chance than Real Madrid by looking at the names of their players, as you said. But Real Madrid has a manager which is very experienced in this events. So it's still 50/50 for me Sir, actually same as match Inter vs Milan. All team has a chance to qualify for the final, it's just that maybe there will be a team which will make a mistake in this semi-final, because little mistake can have a huge impact to them.

As you sad the chances in both matches are 50/50 since in semifinals anything can happen. Looking by form I would say Inter and ManCity have more positivity from recant games and looks their form is better right now.

Pep Guardiola made a noticeable mistake in the 2021 champion league final leg clash against Chelsea. He decided to place De Bruyn in the central forward position which is very much unlike the Gabriel Jesus, Marehz and Foden (or de Bruyn) three men attacking. He had never done this before in that tournament but he decide to come up with it in the final and this didn't work for him like he anticipated cuz Tuchel had a way of overcoming him. In this season's champion league, Guardiola may succeed if he leaves sentiment and play his normal style against Real Madrid but if he wants to invoke something new, he might lose this golden chance

Pep Guardiola has developed a lot in terms of rotating his players so now he has found the ideal composition where to place Kevin De Bruyne who has the key to building attacks. For example, in the game against Arsenal where Pep Guardiola found out that Arteta was only implementing the strategy Pep Guardiola taught him when he was an assistant. And in that match, Pep Guardiola carried out many different strategies, namely playing the role of Bruyne and Haaland changing roles when Haaland played as an assist, so Bruyne came in as the executor. So it's clear that Arteta players cannot control 2 opposing movements that move around and complement each other.
In this match, Pep Guardiola also learned a lot about how Ancelotti educates his players, but that alone is not enough to have an advantage playing at home to his opponent, so whenever Madrid is ready to welcome him to the Bernabeu.

I'm a bit more concerned about Real Madrid than you do and I am more thrilled that won at the Copper del Ray 2 days ago, but concerning that experience, don't you think that Manchester City wouldn't have learned from the mistake they did last season? They had Real Madrid at hand last season and let them slip out of their fingers towards the end of the second leg match, I doubt if they will slumber again after that last embracement. Besides, Real Madrid doesn't give me confidence like the way Manchester City is doing, and when I say me I believe I speak for the rest of the people that Manchester City will beat them except luck thrivers upon Real Madrid.

Don't underestimate real madrid. I saw so many people said the same thing like you last season but real madrid was able making all of them cried due to the dramatic comeback that has been made by real madrid. I think that manchester city is still having weakness as well.

I won't even try to underestimate a team that has ever won UCL 14 times. Manchester city may become the most favorite club in this match but i think that we shall also try to take care about the next match gonna happen in santiago bernabeu which will give real madrid more advantage over manchester city.
Manchester city will be playing without nathan ake. I doubt if foden will also be able to play against real madrid very soon. I think that madrid can use it as golden opportunity to beat manchester city in the first leg.

Real madrid will be coming with full squad. Camavinga is ready for the clash against manchester city that will happen soon. Manchester city shall be ready for that.

I think that Real Madrid is a team that is quite dangerous, also they cannot forget that Real Madrid is the defending champion, for me these things should not be discussed too much, it is known in advance that Madrid will not leave any chance for City , they can have Haaland, but Madrid have Camavinga, Modric, Benzema, among others who are very competitive players, who will surely not give up, I think that the strategy here will be based on stopping Haaland, while that happens it can take the ball any of these players and go up to look for the goal, the best Pep can do is play defensively and wait for the despair of the meringues.

Manchester City are headed to Madrid today ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid, but it looks as if they will head into that tie without one of their crucial defenders.

According to Sport, Nathan Ake has not trained with the rest of the City squad ahead the tie, and thus looks unlikely to make the first leg. Ake had suffered a muscle problem against Leeds United over the weekend, leaving the pitch after 54 minutes for Kyle Walker.

What do you think about the AC Milan team? I don't think SME Loans can secure a victory against Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Because Inter Milan is performing very well in other leagues. But luck can't be told AC Milan can luckily secure the victory. It is not possible to predict the semi-finals.

The statistics of the two teams in all competitions, Inter are superior to Milan. Inter managed to wipe out all matches with wins in the last 5 matches, while Milan were only able to win 2 matches and 3 draws. This season the competition between Milan and Inter is still ongoing in two competitions. In Serie A, the two are still competing for a ticket to the Champions League next season, while in the Champions League, these two teams both have a mission to reach the Champions League final.
Statistics for both places Inter as the favorites even though the match will take place at Milan headquarters, this match will be played at a high tempo due to the competition between the two teams who are city rivals.

Agreed. Real madrid and manchester city have equal chance to be qualified for UCL. I saw that if bernardo silva was making some bad comments about real madrid but real madrid fans just need to keep calm. The result from the match will prove it.

As 14 times UCL champion and real madrid must focus on its mentality and quality rather than try to create psywar like that. The mentality from the clubs will be tested here caused by this gonna be an equal match between madrid vs city.
Benzema, Vini and rodrygo are ready for that. I do know manchester city has de bruyne and haaland which have become the key players for manchester city in previous matches.

I think that if people who used their brain known is real madrid not even a small team that can be beaten easily by manchester city. It will so good to see madrid to bet city again this season.

It will be affecting the mentality from manchester city's players for sure.
