UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Distraction]

I agree that Real Madrid don't care about playing home or away. We have all seen what they did to Liverpool in Anfield this season. They really crushed them by 5-2. However Manchester City are of course no Liverpool now. There has been a big power difference between these teams until now. Therefore playing in Etihad won't be the same for Real Madrid.

Haaland wasn't effective in the first leg indeed. Guardiola must be able to find a way to benefit from his finishing skills and physique at the same time in the second leg. When Haaland is silent Manchester City don't play comfortably in big matches. The first leg was an example of it. But with his contribution with goals or assists they can do some really good work next time.

[hahay]

This game is getting interesting and now in the second leg, both teams got the same situation. I was thinking Manchester City win the game in the first leg against Real Madrid because of the better situation they have but now I expect to see Manchester City winning the match.

I'm also starting to have the notion that Manchester City will feel more relaxed when playing at home in the second leg, but I also have another opinion about this because Manchester City still need to be more consistent in the second leg. This means that Manchester City's opponent is a really balanced opponent for them this season so it would be very wrong if Manchester City underestimated Real Madrid in the second leg because Real Madrid still has the possibility to surprise Manchester City in the second leg.

After the draw in the first leg, I no longer have strong faith in Manchester City to qualify for the final. But yes, even so I still admit that Manchester City still has a chance to qualify, but at this moment I predict Manchester City will not have a big chance to beat Real Madrid.

Because after all, Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League is completely unpredictable, because Real Madrid can have a very different and very neat gameplay when Real Madrid plays in the Champions League. Therefore, even though Manchester City has good quality, but at this moment it will still be difficult for Manchester City to beat Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium.

[Falconer]

I personally would also favor Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. But even so, I'm also not really sure about the superiority of Manchester City, which will host the second leg later. Because Real Madrid does have a different mentality from other teams. They will literally fight to the last second. Even last season Manchester City had to swallow a very bitter defeat because Real Madrid managed to turn things around in the last minutes in the second leg of last season's semi-finals.

But I really hope that at least for this season I want to see Manchester City finally able to stand in the final round and lift the trophy for the first time. Because there have been too many hard struggles for them to run aground in the middle of the road. This season even I see Manchester City have a better level of play than last season.

Don't just rely on the mentality and experience that Real Madrid have in the Champions League when they meet a team like Manchester City. I'm afraid Real Madrid will really lose at the Etihad if Manchester City play like the first leg at the Bernabeu. They are not an easy team to beat like Chelsea and Liverpool, but the quality of Mancester City is very different.

Real Madrid really relied on Thibaut Courtois' good performance to save the net from conceding many goals in the first leg. I know Real Madrid defenders are good at anticipating attacks, but without Thibaut Courtois' brilliance I think we could have conceded more than 2 goals in the first leg. Ancelotti has some of homework for the second leg, so I think it's true that Real Madrid may not be favourites, but I hope the result is different.

This game is still difficult to decide which of the teams will move to the finals. Manchester City have a very good home record this season so it will difficult to imagine an easy game in the Etihad for Real Madrid. The draw result from the first leg makes the second leg more tense and serious for both teams. Real Madrid have already settled for their position in the Laliga so may want to focus their attention on the upcoming second game against Manchester City, but it is not the same for Manchester City who still need to maintain their position on the Premier League to finish ahead of Arsenal. They have a tough game this weekend against Everton, that can become an exhausting game for them before the second leg.

Lemme state first that from my analysis of both teams, it will be difficult for Manchester City to win the League. And in the second leg against Real Madrid, they are going to lose. Real Madrid matches up well against them. They will be making history like they do. If they lose, their morale will be affected even their hopes of the winning the Premier League may be dashed. But then again, I do not want to overanalyze because it is a game of football and anything can happen.

A very tough game that can cause injuries and fatigues for those player's, Sean Dyche can be a pain in the neck whenever you don't expect him to. They won against Brighton so they should be out with enough confidence to face Manchester City at home. My prediction for that game is both sides scoring, Everton would defend and also attack do they can leave the areas of relegation for good.

Manchester City need to come out correct and play Real Madrid they seem to have the advantages even if Real Madrid are unstoppable and undisputable in the Champions League. It'll be such an interesting game to view.

I think that Real Madrid could not perform very well as their ground. In the first stage, Manchester City attacked Real Madrid brilliantly. But later Real Madrid counter managed to make it a goal. And Manchester City also scored a goal in the second half to draw the game. But I think Real Madrid will not be able to secure the victory in the next second leg.

I wouldn't call it analysis because I think it's purely your opinion. If you want to analyze both teams, then you should be able to state what is the best reason to say Manchester City can lose to Real Madrid in the second leg. This means you find a weakness in Manchester City that Real Madrid might exploit to win the match, but you are only voicing your opinion, nothing more.

Manchester City's defense is fine, they have good midfielders, and they also have good strikers. Every single one of those players is quality and can threaten anyone they play against including Real Madrid, so I think your opinion of Manchester City's defeat is unfounded.

let's talk realistically, when referring to the available odds. in the second leg match, Manchester City played as the home team. therefore, the bookie provides odds with @1.61. then, is that reasonable, I don't think so, because their opponent is Real Madrid.

but if we refer to the first leg, it looks like Don Carlo let City control the ball possession longer. because, Ancelotti targeting counterattack quickly. and that's what we saw, especially in the first half City dominated the game. but Real Madrid were able to capitalize on the only chance and a goal. well, according to my personal point of view, Don Carlo was intentional and implemented his strategy like that. plus, Madrid's defense was quite solid when City launched attack after attack. however, if Real Madrid play more openly. I'm sure Madrid will have a hard time anticipating City's players.

Uniquely, Pep Guardiola did not replace any player in the match. so, there will be several rotations made by City when going through their matches in the Domestic League. now we refer to the H2H meeting of these two teams. City always perform optimally when playing at the Etihad Stadium, as well as when hosting Madrid. it would be very natural, if City was again superior because it has a fairly high probability than Madrid. however, we'll see how it turns out later. because in football, anything can happen. I think Pep Guardiola will study Madrid's system and weaknesses. Likewise with Don Carlo, he will definitely formulate a strategy for his team when they travel to the Etihad Stadium. for sure, the match will be very interesting for us to watch.

This is a very good point, Real Madrid has almost no chance of winning their local tournament and they are just fighting for second place at this point, which is not important at all compared to the champions league, but Manchester city is fighting for the title on the premier league with Arsenal and they need to keep winning, and that difference on the amount of rest that each one of their players get can be a huge difference maker during the second leg of their match.

His opinion of Manchester City defeat is purely unfounded.
It is just like stating either Manchester City will win or Real Madrid will win and we know it too well, that both teams are good.
This is not the first time this kind of fixture has happened in the Champions League and Real Madrid has always been the winner. But this time around things might change because the Manchester City side are playing at home and they are in pretty good form this season.
That does not mean that we will write out Madrid who happens to be the favorite when it comes to Champions League finals and semi finals.

No, in my opinion Manchester City also deserves to win the Champions League even though Real Madrid has a lot of experience but look at the performance of Manchester City players who are very strong who are able to maintain the score in the first leg and in the English league Manchester City has very good achievements so that the chances of winning in the match the final champion is very big.

Still a busy schedule for the players of the CL. There is only a week between the out and back duel. Isn't that too much to ask of these teams and players? In the competitions they also have to be present, the chance of injuries or not being fit seems to me to be considerable through this way. But maybe these pros have gotten used to that lately. I think Manchester City is the favorite to win the title, but Real Madrid is a team that should not be underestimated. Last year they lost 4-3 in City, but they managed to score no less than 3 away goals. Who can do that in a stadium at Manchester City? I would like it for Guardiola if they could win the CL once this season.

Due to the large number of national team games + participation in various competitions, top clubs (and their players) suffer very much, it's true. But it is no longer possible to stretch the tournament even longer - taking into account the last World Cup, the Champions League already lasts too long, in fact, this format should be reduced - we need more games, not games every two weeks (most of the tournament). I think the top clubs have to make the hard but right decision for themselves - to abandon the national cups, let the players go to the national teams less often (it will be hard to do) and concentrate on the top competitions. I want to see the best players in the best tournaments and not in picayune boring tournaments that only take time and effort.

Last time the experience decided this duel. Man City dominated last year at home and looked like Real Madrid cant turn it around and out of nowhere they won the match. So Man City needs to be cautious of those counter-attacks from Real Madrid that are really deadly.

[Jody.Drummer]

Man City - Real Madrid got everything open with a simple 1-1

Manchester City in this case remain the favorites to be able to step both their feet into the final, this is because they will act as hosts in the decisive match of the second leg later. But on the other hand Real Madrid is a club that cannot be underestimated even though this is their home match, because we know their history in the second leg match, in the first leg they lost, but when playing in the second leg they seem to want to show that they are the masters of the Champions League with the surprise surprise they did. It's not easy to predict this game, even though we know now many people choose Manchester City.

I personally would also favor Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. But even so, I'm also not really sure about the superiority of Manchester City, which will host the second leg later. Because Real Madrid does have a different mentality from other teams. They will literally fight to the last second. Even last season Manchester City had to swallow a very bitter defeat because Real Madrid managed to turn things around in the last minutes in the second leg of last season's semi-finals.

But I really hope that at least for this season I want to see Manchester City finally able to stand in the final round and lift the trophy for the first time. Because there have been too many hard struggles for them to run aground in the middle of the road. This season even I see Manchester City have a better level of play than last season.

That is still quite reasonable and acceptable because indeed, seeing from the conditions, it is certain that Manchester City will become the favorites again, especially in this case they will be playing at home now.
On the other hand, their home matches for the Champions League are still well maintained because when they are at the Etihad they always win and this can be seen in the few matches they have played, especially in the Champions League.
But as you said, Mental clearly has an effect here and of course Madrid can still be hoped for even though considering the current conditions it is clear that it is still a little more difficult for Madrid.

[AakZaki]

Milan seems to have failed to condition the player's mentality. Within fifteen minutes they were two goals behind. Milan started nervously so their defense was quite poor. That was evident after two goals Milan seemed to realise and no goals were made. In addition, there are indeed some Inter players who do perform well. Alessandro Bastoni is on full display making it difficult for Milan to make goals, even Bastoni often helps the attack. Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan and Dzeko also performed well, they became players that I consider to be playing well. But the opportunity for Milan has not been exhausted, there is still a second leg. They should have learned from the first leg.

[sana54210]

Even the coach Pep Guardiola has great respect for Real Madrid because he knows that his opponent is not an arbitrary team and always has a history in this highest European competition. We can see in the first leg when Manchester City had an away match against Real Madrid, there Pep Guardiola did not replace a single player in the second half, even though it was already seen that several of his players were already experiencing fatigue, but Pep Guardiola still forced his players to survive until the match was over. It was so clear that Pep Guardiola was very wary of what Real Madrid would do if he changed any of his players and he didn't want that to happen, luckily they held on to a draw.

The second leg will be a proving ground for these two teams, but Manchester City is still the favorite to qualify for the final round, while Real Madrid, as usual, is not the favourite. I think Real Madrid will still qualify for the final even if it is an away game because they don't differentiate anywhere, as long as they have 90 minutes they will do everything to win.

I think when you are talking about the team that has more UCL titles than anyone else and double the amount of closest team to them, do not require "even great coach Pep" at the front of it. Everyone in the world respects them that is true and Real could be great at UCL even on their worst season.

But it is true that City will have an advantage at home game, they got a 1-1 tie at Madrid, so it's all come down to Manchester, we are going to see a game where they are going to be aware of what Real stored for them. Rudiger defended Haaland very tightly, but that comes with a cost, if you keep doing that then as soon as Haaland moves out of the way for his teammates, Rudiger must too, that leaves the defense one man down, it's easy change that they could do, and even did for the goal they had.

That how dangerous Real Madrid is in the UCL. You could always find them coming up with an incredible performance even with them playing very badly in there local league.
At the time, they seem to be at disadvantage haven't drawn there first leg with Manchester City and worth a goal it was for De Bruyne. Almost the same distance as was the Vini Jnr goal and with a lit of power as well. That tells the recognition of the history shared between these two as just a year ago, they @Manchester City got eliminated by Real Madrid in what one could have said to be there best chance.

With the home advantage, it would be interesting to see what Manchester City could come up with and surely, they've got something prepared to win this round.

[lalabotax]

With the home advantage, it would be interesting to see what Manchester City could come up with and surely, they've got something prepared to win this round.

With this condition, Man City should have more advantages. They can take advantage of this opportunity to further pressure Real Madrid, moreover, the euphoria will be quite different. But again, this is not guaranteed. Because we know that Real Madrid is also a big club that is very experienced in the UCL. So, this will be the highly anticipated and unpredictable semi final match determination. Maybe this will be more exciting than the final later. Both have the same chance of winning, especially with the 1-1 draw in the first leg yesterday.

[püsür]

Madrid's defense, which does not let Haaland breathe and makes a great area defense, deserves a separate congratulations. Also, it is absolutely ridiculous that Camavinga gave this performance at this age. A player who matures football so early is very valuable. He played in the midfield, became his backbone, scored goals from far away, threw a long ball into the exact spot, he has fine wrist movements and fine dribbles. Due to the lack of team in the last matches, he played left-back, neither in offense nor in defense, he never fails, even better than Mendy. This has been a really great football player and this kid is going to be even better. He knows football very well. From Vini's great performance, De Bruyne-Courtois shootout, Carvajal-Grealish rivalry, Camavinga's great defensive performance it was a great match. Although City has the advantage in Etihad, they are against Real Madrid. It will not be easy.
