UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Silberman]

In fact it's the other way around we can't see them meet in the final so just feel the game is like a final for them tonight and with the second leg later, at least now Real Madrid have to be more impressive in front of the crowd I think they have the strength to do that to conquer a stronger English team, namely Manchester City, maybe the burden of Real Madrid will indeed be depressed but their mentality is still good enough to have.

It seems that the semifinals have always been a stage for they both to duel. Still, it's going to be an epic match and I think the winner of this fight has great potential to win the Champions League trophy. This is a game that is difficult to predict, but Man City certainly doesn't want to repeat their mistakes last season. For this season my favorite is Man City.

While the match is pretty even at the same time I think the Manchester city has enough of an edge to try to beat the Real Madrid during the next two matches and move to the final, it is not going to be easy as Real Madrid as the current champions are not going to let them get their way without a fight, and in a way I think it is a shame this is only a semifinal as this game could have been the final match of the tournament if both teams were not so unlucky.

Manchester City don't only have Haaland and the striker himself is not only able to score goals but also able to make assists, key passes and contribute for the club tactics and operation. In latest matches, like in the big match with Arsenal in Premier League, Haaland was used not to score goals but to help Kevin De Bruyne have great space and opportunities to score goals for Manchester City.

~snip~

Actually, if I look at the characteristics of the game of both teams, I prefer Man City's pattern of play. They look more fluid and very entertaining. But nowadays the effectiveness of the game is much more important, in the end only winning and losing is not a matter of entertainment. Madrid should be more confident now because the first leg will be in Spain, of course there is great hope for them to win and score goals by a big margin. Because of the second leg they have to go to the Etihad and that benefits Man City a lot.

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 do agree that he is great, I didn't expected him being missing to give them such a big disadvantage in any game, because they have great young players who should be able to cover the difference, but we saw during the league game that they weren't ready for that yet. I think they need him one more season after this and the kids will be ready.

Think about Vini Jr. the whole fandom thought that he wasn't ready enough and he wasn't great yet and so forth, during that 3 UCL in a row period he was criticized a lot whenever he played and they expected others to show up, but after that when you look at today, he is their best player probably or at least one of the best. Their midfield will become like that, just need one or two more seasons that's it, then they will be able to retire Modric and can replace them with young stars.

Anyway, Real Madrid still has the chance to get good results but yes, that doesn't mean Real Madrid will continue and keep on winning the Champions League title. Because after all, there will always be seasons when Real Madrid might fail to win the Champions League title but even so, I personally don't assume Real Madrid is weak.

Therefore, it's not surprising that at this moment, at least quite a few also chose Manchester City to win and even to win the Champions League title. What's more, Manchester City has always been a team that has made it to the semifinals in at least the last three seasons or maybe when Pep Guardiola was here. So yes, with the hard work that continues to be done by Pep Guardiola in building Manchester City, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City should get their highest achievements this season.

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

Actually we can discuss this match for tomorrow, but it seems interesting enough for us to review. to be honest, from the start I didn't have much expectation of Simone Inzaghi's team. but lately, Inter's performance has improved quite a bit. the question is whether in this semi-final match Inter will show their game with a slick performance, as they showed in their last 5 matches in all competitions. otherwise, these matches would not offer interesting and boring matches.

Conversely, Milan's performance can also be said to have improved a lot. yes, after overthrowing Napoli in the domestic competition, then overthrowing it in the Champions League, Milan is superior to its rivals in this match. whereas, both teams have the same probability according to my personal point of view. these two teams, both have the potential to overthrow each other to qualify for the next phase. after all, the game was held at the San Siro. two city rivals from Serie A, will fight for the ticket to the final match of this competition. I still doubt that this fight will present a fierce battle. however, for some reason, I was more interested in Inter. and I think Inter will overthrow Milan.

I honestly don't know who will win the first leg, even if Real Madrid have the advantage of playing at home. But either way, Manchester City travels to win in order to have a chance of reaching the final. Manchester City miserably failed in the semi-finals last season against Real Madrid, so this season I don't think they can make the same mistake unless they are damned.

It's just that I hope Manchester City this season succeeds in stopping Real Madrid's dominance of the Champions League. Real Madrid have won 3 titles in a row in the Zidane era, but I don't expect them to repeat it in the Ancelotti era.

Both teams have the qualities and energy to reached the final but only will qualify for the next round. Manchester city are favorite to win today's game but I'm frightened because real Madrid always have a upper hand in Santiago bernabeu.  They're one of the toughest club in the world and I'm confiden, Madrid will win. Champions league have become their favorite trophy over the past years and there's always good chances of history to repeat itself. Zinedine Zidane won the champions league with real Madrid three times in a row, but looks at Carlo Ancelotti,  he's an excellent coach who also desire the best for the club.

Statistically, Real and Manchester City are now equal. A total of 10 games, each team won four games and two tied.
Also, Manchester City has not lost 5 games in a row, and Real Madrid 4. In general, yes the City model is probably more agile and interesting, but rather due to the youth of the players and the depth of the squad. Real have much older leaders, but they have experience and motivation. Real can snatch victory like no one else, the team has a manly character and in general probably today is played as if the final, because it is clear that the winner of today's game with a high probability will win the Champions League.

And after a few hours, the much awaited Fast League match between Real Madrid and Manchester City is going to start.  We can only consider such matches in UEFA Champions League finals but this season unfortunately Real Madrid and Manchester City are facing each other in the semi-finals.  I say unfortunate because either of these two teams Real Madrid and Manchester City will go to the final and one team will be eliminated. Real Madrid have a great chance to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League once again. Pep Guardiola wants to see Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final anyway. And Manchester City's main target is the second league match which will be held in Manchester.

This game will be extremely difficult because both teams have excellent players, but Manchester City is in better shape than real Madrid. I don't think we shouldn't predict the result of the game because real Madrid surprised everyone by winning the Champions League, but it will be very challenging for real Madrid to defeat Manchester City because the team has players who can score goals like demons, like Haaland, Gundogan, Phil Foden, and Marez. This players are extremely dangerous this season.
Real Madrid would benefit from taking advantage of the first-chance scenario and keeping Manchester City at bay at home to prevent a comeback or even a single goal, as this would give them a stronger advantage going into the second leg of the match.

[Coyster]

The line-ups for the big game is out, and it was somewhat predictable from City's point of view, Akanji plays at left back because Ake is out injured and Kyle Walker is at right back to handle the pace of Vinicius Junior, Haaland is joined in attack by Bernado Silva, i was pretty certain Pep would pick him over Mahrez, his work rate is exceptional and he gives City so much, both in attack and in defense.

Having said that, for Real Madrid, Militao is missing because of suspension, So Rudiger replaces him, it looks as if Camavinga is going to play at left back, City might find joy down his channel. Modric, Kroos and Valverde would be keen on winning the midfield battle. This game is going to be extremely interesting, i can't wait for it to start, and when it does, i'm pretty sure i'd not be able to take my eyes off it. I wish City goodluck, they deserve to be Champions of Europe, and this is the biggest step towards achieving it.

Thinking the same that Manchester City shouldn't make the same mistake it's just that it's still difficult for us to guess who will win in the first leg, even if we believe that Manchester City has had a good run but think again that getting past Real Madrid won't be as easy as we think to imagine.
Now that the line-up has appeared they will of course field the main squad because this is more important if you look at the opportunities that are almost the same.

Manchester City is only one step away from stopping Real Madrid, so it is certain that he will win in this UCL, but that is what is still difficult Real Madrid is a tough team when they are in the UCL, everyone talks about Real Madrid in this competition.

[Gencecikmen]

Today, there is UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg. In my opinion, the favorite team is Manchester City. I feel like we will watch a very enjoyable match. Manchester City's starting XI against Real Madrid: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Rodri, İlkay Gündoğan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland. Real Madrid's starting XI against Manchester City : Courtois, Carvajal, Rüdiger, Alaba, Camavinga, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Benzema.

For Real Madrid, it doesn't matter who they play. Even if this semi-final can be called revenge for Manchester City, Real Madrid also play only to win, and they are good at it. Last year's final was also a revenge game for Liverpool, but they couldn't win. I think it will be something like that now. The game starts soon and I'm sure Madrid will win at home.

Not only you even the betting market favored Manchester City even though Real Madrid played at home obviously this looks a little strange
But yes even though the market is more favorite Manchester City of course there is no guarantee they will win I will not choose one of them as the winner
maybe both teams to score is the best choice because this is a fight between stars and predicted there will be many goals.

Nothing is certain and you can't be certain about this match. Many people hope and think Manchester City can win this match  even playing at the Bernabeu, but it is always possible to get different facts. There are 3 possibilities regarding the result of the match, Real Madrid wins, Manchester City wins, or both draw.

I expect Manchester City to win, not because I hate Real Madrid, but I think Manchester City deserve to prove that they can win the Champions League when they are favourites.

The game is going to be an interesting one. The champions league is one trophy that has eluded city for some years and Pep would be hoping to make history with the club by givings them their most desired trophy. City has less injury worries, they are in their best form and everything is looking good for them. On the other hand, Real Madrid and the champions league are like siamese twins, you can't mention the name champions league with mentioning the Los Blancos. It's going to be a night of exciting football and I'm looking forward to it.

City has changed a lot from last season after acquiring some good names in the two last transfer windows but that's also no reason to take Madrid who have defeated some crazy comebacks in last CL season to win the trophy. They have the pure fightback spirit and one really shouldn't undermine them. City on the other hand have been close for so many times but they always mess up in the end. I am expecting Real Madrid to strike first today and give City a hard time throughout the game.

Its clear that Manchester city on paper are clear favorite but real Madrid like you said are quite effective when it comes to winning of matches and the semifinals is exactly the stage they find  a way out no matter the opponent given to them and last season they did the same and conquer Manchester city and I believe they can likely do it again the same season and if there is one team I would vouch for in the champions league would be this exact Madrid squad.

I think what could also be an important difference from the perspective of Manchester City is that this time they have the second leg at home. That was definitely an advantage towards the end of the second game last year when the Bernabeu audience exploded after the equalizer goal. When that happened the whole Real Madrid team was carried by the crowd like crazy.

I can only imagine how it must feel when so many people are screaming and crying and want your success so badly. I am sure that this is a lot of motivation to everyone. This time Manchester City will have their crowd in the back when it gets close.

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

I personally wouldn't accept the risk for this match because both teams are very much close and it's very hard to predict the games especially because of the unstable results we saw from both the teams I think the rates are also close and the reward you can get is not much for this game that's why I prefer to pass this game and instead of this game, I would go for the other game in champions league between Real Madrid and Manchester City.
