UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[dzungmobile]

Luka Modrid will play when Real Madrid face Manchester City, he only has a problem in terms of fitness and I think he is fit enough for now. Now, the match that we have been waiting for for a long time is in sight which brings together the two best teams in the world. I think these two teams will go down with the perfect squad in the first leg which will take place today.

Luka Modric is very important with Real Madrid even he is very old already. He recovered days ago and returned to training but I am not sure that Luka will play the semi final at beginning. Maybe Carlo Ancelotti will use Luka at some time in the match but if the player is not fully recovered and has good fitness, the coach will not take risk to use Luka in the debut squad. He is important but Real Madrid have other good midfielder like Camavinga to replace Luka.

Apart from that, on the Manchester City side, they will rely on Haaland, where he has appeared quite impressive in the Champions League this season, I think he will be the player who steals the most attention in today match.

I don't think Manchester City mainly rely on Haaland even the fact is Haaland helps them to make their squad looks to be more perfectly powerful in attacking. However, I believe that Pep is always flexible with tactics and he is one of genius coaches in tactics and is able to make surprising changes any time. Since a day he left Barcelona, because of his obsession for perfection in tactics and performance, he got some side effects from it. It caused some failures of Bayern Munich and Manchester City recent seasons even they were considered as strongest teams in Champions League in some seasons.

Believe me, Manchester City will be the third team to represent the Premier League and fail in the Champions League after Liverpool and Chelsea. Real Madrid had beaten Manchester City in the previous season's meeting in the semifinals but of course they can make things difficult for us with their good play.

Haaland, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Mahrez and all the Manchester City players are very dangerous. But Real Madrid is very likely to be able to cope with the high experience we have. I agree that the Champions League is not always won by Real Madrid, but this season I hope we can repeat it again like the previous season.

To be honest, I really want to believe that Madrid will win this fight. moreover, this fight was held at the Santiago Bernabeu, the headquarters of El Madrid. playing in front of his own fans, really gave a high boost of motivation to Don Carlo's squad. the roaring atmosphere of support from Los Blancos supporters, will echo to fill the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. it's just that, City is not a team that is experiencing a decline in performance like Liverpool and Chelsea. City, has a complete squad in terms of the players. plus, the system that Pep implements.

I really know that Madrid has players that Carlo Ancelotti can really rely on. every attack they build, always threatens the opponent's defense. especially when the Madrid players do combinations in the opponent's defense area, it's really dangerous. and the most dangerous thing is, counterattack with the individual skills of Madrid's front line players.


Well, now we're talking on the City side. City has a fairly complicated and unique system, they have lots of players they can rely on. also, there are two players who must be strictly marked by the Madrid defense when City attacks. rotation of Haaland and De Bruyne, will stab in the penalty area and that is very dangerous. Well, to be honest it's more profitable to choose the house, I want to bet on Madrid. but from my point of view, City are capable of putting up a fight despite playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. IMO, if this game doesn't end in a draw, then City will win the fight.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City

[JeffBrad12]

It looks like luka Modric has picked up an injury and he may likely not be featured in the upcoming Cupa dey Rey final as well as the first-leg semi-final against Manchester City is in doubt it is a big blow to Madrid playing without one of the best and most experienced players in an important game like this. On the other hand, they seem to be good news as David Alaba suffered an injury during the second leg champion league tie with Chealse and he is fully fit to play  if all this is equal I think Alaba will play against Manchester city which is a big boost for the team right now.

Did you watch the last match? Luka modric is fine right now. There's nothing that must be worried regarding his condition. Ancelotti was not pushing him to go beyond his limit caused by ancelotti has been fully preparing the match against manchester city.
Modrid was not fully playing against osassuna caused by pep knew that if modric can become the main key for the match against manchester city, he is now best midfielder right now.

Modric is in a very good condition right now and he is ready to face manchester city very soon. You will see him to be included in the starting line up of real madrid.

IMO , the odds given by the bookies are not entirely fair. It seems odd that the home team, Real Madrid, isn't more heavily favored given that the Madrid vs Man City match is taking place at the prestigious Bernabeu stadium. Real Madrid is a formidable opponent and a draw seems like a more plausible outcome. Personally, I believe that Man City has a higher chance of winning in the second leg.

It's quite fair enough at stake. I guess that bookies have various reasons to consider whether the club must be favored or not. As you can see that if manchester city is always being very consistent in the domestic league and various competitions. It may become the main consideration for bookies to favoring manchester city in the upcoming match against real madrid. I consider how bookies were seeing haaland as the biggest threat for real madrid.

If they like, they can improve the stake to 5, it's their thing to make money but the fact that Real Madrid is having some shake up in their domestic League doesn't completely make them vulnerable in this match, they won Copper del Ray in their last match as well, that is a good result and all the squad is completely set for the match. as for Milan and Intern, it is understandable and people doesn't give much interest in them, any of them that qualify for the final will either be removed by Real Madrid or Manchester City.

Real madrid was collecting 15 goals from three players while haaland itself alone was able making 12 goals in UCL.

That proves if manchester city has capability to make more goals in UCL even against real madrid.

You are right about that but from the group stage, Real Madrid has more points than Manchester City because they win more of their matches than them, and despite City having less tough teams, Haaland scores more goals in matches with teams that are not in form but Madrid as a collective effort and if not that Barcelona was eliminated earlier, Lewandoski would still be the one leading with highest goal scored.

Luka Modrid will play when Real Madrid face Manchester City, he only has a problem in terms of fitness and I think he is fit enough for now. Now, the match that we have been waiting for for a long time is in sight which brings together the two best teams in the world.

Maybe Carlo Ancelotti will use Luka at some time in the match but if the player is not fully recovered and has good fitness, the coach will not take risk to use Luka in the debut squad. He is important but Real Madrid have other good midfielder like Camavinga to replace Luka.

I am quite happy with the news that Luka Modric has recovered. Because it would be a shame if Luka Modric could not appear in the Champions League Semi-finals. But I agree that even though Modric is recovering, it doesn't look like he will play full time. Because even though he has recovered, that doesn't mean Modric is at his best. still he will not play in full. Ancelotti will definitely make adjustments in his strategy.

But it doesn't feel like today the match we have been waiting for is finally in front of us. This match will definitely be another historic match in the Champions League. like last season.

[Stable090]

But Manchester City is performing exceptionally well in every league. On the other hand, Real Madrid is performing well in the Champions League and on the other hand, they have not been able to match themselves very well in La Liga. If you consider from all sides, sometimes you want to keep Manchester City ahead in the semi-final match.

If you deeply look into the performance of the two clubs, then I think Manchester City is having higher chances of winning the match, the two clubs are performing very well, but if you see the efforts in which Manchester city are putting in their matches lately you will know that Manchester city will want to bring down any club that comes against them in both premier league and champions league. I know the match will be a very tough one, the two clubs will do everything possible to win the match today, am not expecting draw in todays match, am expecting a club to win, but am sure it will be slight goal difference.

I really want to see both teams field a full team squad. The Real Madrid vs Manchester City match tonight is the best semi-final and the match tension is high. It is quite good news if Modric enters the line-up and completes the midfield with Kroos and Valverde. Likewise with Manchester City before they also doubted Kevin De Bruyne to appear, but it seems that his fitness has also improved and is ready to make a breakthrough in tonight's match.

[makishart]

FYI, ancelotti has been making a confirmation regarding modric.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will start against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/05/08/carlo-ancelotti-confirms-luka-modric-will-start-against-manchester-city

Finally, the time has come for modric to play as the starting line up again. I think that if ancelotti will be put and kroos together like in the previous match. Vini and benzema will be also playing as attacking line for real madrid.

Glad to see that if the confirmation that has been made by ancelotti was making everything clear.
So many people were so doubtful with modric to play against city but ancelotti was answering all of rumors linked to the modric.

[Jossque]

I think today's match is very important for both teams.Real madrid have lost their chance to be champions in the league and will want to win against a tough opponent as they want to end the year with at least the cup, but Manchester City are in great form and have become a very difficult team to beat. Real madrid is lucky to be the home team in the first leg and the more goals they score here the better it will be for them.City is the favorite but I think Real madrid can win this game.Real madrid is a very experienced team no matter how out of form they are.City has the chance to be both league champions and champions league champions but I think they will lose one of the two.Let's see which one it will be.

[Fesatmas]

I don't think Real Madrid are the favorites to win the first leg against Manchester City. It seems to doubt Real Madrid's low chances because they are an experienced team and also playing at home. However, it is possible that Real Madrid will lose at home if Manchester City are really able to put pressure on Benzema cs throughout the match.

Milan is also not in the favorite over Inter even though Milan played as the home team in the first leg. Inter and Manchester City are both favorites at the odds, but I hope it's not a trap.

I will bet more at Real Madrid in the first dide against Mancaster City, although there are indeed many people who doubt Real Madrid because of their declining abilities and Manchaster City is a favorite in this first leg because they managed to amaze people with what they display on the field, especially in its domestic league.
Anceloti is not once or twice at UCL and I am quite sure that their mentality is still very strong here, especially Real Madrid, hosting this first leg, will certainly provide significant flexibility for Real Madrid, a match that is and must be secured in the first leg This is a provision in the second leg.

This full gambler will bet luck at Real Madrid and Milan to take advantage. LOL

The news of Modric's recovery from injury will certainly make the fans much calmer because Modric's role is still very important to stabilize the midfield. Real Madrid had experienced a bad trend in the domestic league before they finally won the CDR championship and also arrived in the semifinals of the champions league against manchester city. Ancelotti must provide a good strategy and composition in this match so that they win first at home. As usual I don't expect Real Madrid to score first, I hope Manchester City will do it, so we will be able to see an exciting match in this first leg.

But the latest news regarding the injury is still being experienced by Dani Ceballos, we know he injured his thigh during warm-up training against Osasusa in the CDR final last week and now it looks like he is still in doubt to appear for Real Madrid, even though his role is only as a backup sometimes for Dani Ceballos can be the key to Real Madrid's victory through assists or goals.

I have seen Real Madrid even win the Champions league at a time when they struggled all through the competition. They have a good experience in the Champions league, will be playing at home first, and still have world class players that can match any team. The game will be a close contest and I still feel Real Madrid will win as they normally do against English teams. This is a game not to be missed.

For some reason, most people think Manchester City have a better chance of getting to the final. But I think Real Madrid can beat them by a good score to guarantee themselves a win. I expect Real Madrid to score at least two goals today to draw the game back in Manchester. Of course City are playing well and have not lost many matches. Tonight will probably be a turning point for them.

Manchester city traveling to Santiago bernabeu to face real Madrid in the semi final is one big tough game. There's higher chances of Manchester city to come out victorious but I doubt if the Los Blancos will give up. I'm placing my bet in favor of real Madrid,  firstly they're home and have good winning records in the Champions League.  Pep Guardiola is an amazing coach but this night, he will be shocked with the results. Carlo Ancelotti fully confident that his boys will do the dirty work for him, after all they're experienced and professional on the pitch.

Manchester city could come with something new. Real madrid must be so careful even though madrid has great WR against english team right now. The thing that makes madrid feel worry is about haaland and Kevin. I see no problem for madrid with another player of manchester city.

The only problem that must be prevented must be haaland combined with kevin. It has proven so many times that the combination was able performing so well in EPL.
The consistently from manchester city is also the main concern. Nathan ake will not able to play against real madrid. It's good for ancelotti's squad but real madrid shall perform even better compared with when the match against osassuna.

Manchester cith is in the same level as real madrid right now. Another epic match to come soon. I can't even wait to watch it to come asap.

It’s a very important match for both managers and players alike and it will be a very interesting game to watch. This season, Manchester City have got a better team with Haaland leading the attack, Real Madrid on the other hand are a team capable of withstanding the pressure Manchester City will throw at them and work out a win in their favour, I really can't wait to see how both teams will perform tonight.

[Leviathan.007]

Champions League Real Madrid-Manchester City match like an early final.
I believe City will pass the round, but I think Real will win tonight's game, benefiting from the field and the audience. Real Madrid defender Mendy will not be able to play tonight due to injury. City's Ake will not be on the field today due to injury. All eyes will be on City's star, Haaland. Haaland will push Real Madrid's defense very hard. It could be very difficult for Real if they put on a great game, like in the Liverpool game with De Bruyne. I think Real win is a little ahead.

Exactly, and I wanted to see these two teams playing against each other in the final match, but this game between Macnshter City and Real Madrid is just like an easy champions league final where we have a team like Ream Madrid with enough experience in Champions League and in the side we have Manchester City as a team with amazing performance during this season.

Real madrid was collecting 15 goals from three players while haaland itself alone was able making 12 goals in UCL.

That proves if manchester city has capability to make more goals in UCL even against real madrid.

we cannot compare the domestic league with the champions league that almost all the teams that qualify for this semifinal will give a strong performance and no team wants to lose so they will use their best strategy. sometimes what the bookies favor isn't necessarily true and we have the right to make our own speculations or analysis.
as we can see, Haaland is currently a player who is highlighted by many people and his performance is recognized, but Real Madrid has Benzema who has experience in the UCL and Real Madrid has won the Champions League several times.
so it is very difficult to consider which team will be superior unless we are able to analyze rigorously to make accurate predictions.
even though the bookies favor Ma City but I will still bet on Real Madrid.

[babo]

bets are open for the Milan and Inter match, I find the odds of 2 for Milan a bit exaggerated, honestly I think Milan wins and not Inter who have a lot of problems to play continuously in terms of performance

for me Milan - Real Madrid the final

[piebeyb]

I will bet more at Real Madrid in the first dide against Mancaster City, although there are indeed many people who doubt Real Madrid because of their declining abilities and Manchaster City is a favorite in this first leg because they managed to amaze people with what they display on the field, especially in its domestic league.

The game will be a close contest and I still feel Real Madrid will win as they normally do against English teams. This is a game not to be missed.

Can't wait for the game to start, I bet on Manchester City because I'm sure they can overcome Madrid in this first leg, at least they can win 2 goals to secure the second leg so they can qualify for the final, I believe Guardiola has learned a lot from his failure in last season manchester city was beaten by Madrid to be exact in the semi-finals, this is Guardiola's chance to avenge that in the semi-finals as well.

I'm sure Guardiola has a good strategy to beat madrid today, not sure the result will be a draw because both of them will play as well as they can, but I prefer to bet what the bookie wants, a lot of people bet on Manchester city and are very favored to win in this first leg. My prediction is 0 - 2 for Manchester City to win
