UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Franctoshi]

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.

Having Manchester City being able to Hold down Real Madrid on a 1:1 draw in their home ground Santiago Bernabeu, it's something to consider that City is indeed the better side, And this has given city a little bit of advantage over Madrid come 2nd game. In a generally point of view when compared the both teams strength this season, Manchester City is a better side and a complete team than Madrid. Manchester City will dominate in their second leg match because, When it comes to controlling the midfield , City does the job very well than Madrid.

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.

In theory, Man City has the advantage for Leg 2 because they will play at home. But since Real Madrid always has a winning mentality and never gives up to win the match, playing away isn't a big problem for them. I assume, playing away even makes them more motivated, they can surprise Man City at their home. 1-1 is not a bad aggregate for Real Madrid, no team that leads the aggregate yet. So, Real Madrid still has a high spirit to win the next match and qualify for the final round. Real Madrid is 100% focused on UCL, they don't care about the chance of winning the La Liga trophy anymore.

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.

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.

I know I don't like Manchester City, but I don't like how they have been criticized unfairly in the Champions League. In the second leg, Manchester City and Real Madrid won't go easy on their selfies, and while I'm sure Gadiola is already planning some things, I'm confident that Manchester City and Real Madrid will face off to determine who will win the competition. Furthermore, because Manchester City competes in two significant divisions, Arsenal will benefit as they appear to be losing concentration in the Premier League.  i really want Arsenal to win the premier league.

In fact, what we saw yesterday makes it clear that it seems that Milan is clearly not ready for the finals, that is, if they somehow make it to the finals (which I highly doubt), they will definitely lose it. They have serious problems in defense, or Inter has a very well built attack, because in the first half, almost every attack by Inter ended with a shot. Not always those shots were on target, but they were.

Inter Milan already have one leg in the CL final, i knew if Rafael Leao doesn't play it would be difficult for AC Milan to create chances, and that was what happened, the Portuguese superstar is so important for AC Milan, and i hope he will be fit for the return leg next week. Having said that, it is going to be a pretty difficult mountain for AC Milan to climb, to come back from two goals down means they have to be impeccable (and that's something i've not seen from them this season), i think it is Inter that would go through, chances are pretty high that they'd even win the second leg as well.

Even if he comes back, Milan needs to score at least two and not concede, and that's just for the match to go into extra time. In general it will be difficult for both sides, Inter can adopt defensive tactics and not let Milan score, they can even afford to lose with a difference of one goal, in fact they are safe

I won't call it Manchester City holding Real Madrid in that game but I think because of the recent performance of both teams, Real Madrid was lucky enough because they didn't lose the first leg against Manchester City, because the Manchester City we see in this season is strong enough to beat any team easily even Real Madrid.

Real Madrid isn't appearing like they are weak against Manchester City. Even in the first leg they were formidable. If you discover the kind of energy that Vinicius Junior put into game you will understand that only him is able to change any game. He is a beast and has the spirit of the Champions League.
With the strong Real Madrid defence and how Rudiger was able to hold Haaland down shows that those guys are all prepared for the Champions League and with the experience of Modric and Tony in the midfield is an added advantage.

It is very difficult to score 2 goals, AC Milan has no sharp strikers and Inter Milan defenders perform very well lately. If we consider the stats of the previous match, AC Milan players only got 2 shoot on target which means it is hard to penetrate to Inter defense zone. It will be harder if Inter Milan scores a fast goal in the next match, aggregate 3-0 will make AC Milan players frustrated. I assume Inter Milan is safe to qualify for the final, they only need to wait for Man City or Real Madrid as their opponent in the final round.

It's A Milan Derby, remember?

They share the same pitch, so anything can still happen in the second leg.

They managed to beat Napoli 4 goals in a Seria A match not so long ago and then followed up and eliminated them in the UEFA Champion's League after both legs. What makes you think the no sharp strikers can pull out another surprise in the second Leg?

I will wait till the final whistle to be sure AC Milan are out or not.

Like you said anything can happen in the second leg, if 4 - 0 scoreline can be overturned so why can't 2 - 0 scoreline can't be overturned. AC Milan would be disappointed by their performance that they couldn't score atleast a goal and the will be giving their all in the second leg. I don't think inter Milan would be carried away by their 2-0 win either and I see them making it to the finals.

[jakdanyel]

Rafael Leao's absence due to adductor problems in the first leg was really bad for Milan indeed. Because he is like their most card in their hand now. However Milan still should have stayed sharper than that in defense of course. Conceding 2 goals in the first 10 minutes just made the match turn into a nightmare for Milan. They couldn't even react to those goals with some answers later on.

Leao's condition is still doubtful but I hope he can recover and get ready for the second leg. Milan will really need all their attacking power in that match. There is no home-away situation of course so Milan still have a big chance to revert the current look. But they need to work really hard for that as of now because Inter wouldn't lose their advantage easily.

I think Manchester City chances are more wide open in the second leg later because they will host the second leg, indeed Real Madrid this season they are stronger when playing away from home like they did to Chelsea and Liverpool. However, this seems to have been anticipated by Manchester City in facing Real Madrid in the decisive match. This season Manchester city hopes they can maximize the best possible opportunities in the second leg later because they have a pretty strong squad this season. Haaland should be able to make a big contribution in the second leg later because he seemed quite difficult to find his best form in the first leg.

Regarding experience, of course Real Madrid has everything, but they will also be under pressure in the second leg later because Manchester City will put out all their energy to win in the second leg.

The 2 goals can be overturned but it is not with the squad that played this midweek. The team needs to be more determined and it their hit left winger Leo will be available, it will be possible that they can overturn the result because only that guy has the ability to push the defence of the opponent. Giroud was lost in the match because Leo was not in the match it was Origi who later came in late time that made some good efforts that wanted to change the game.

Milan will face a difficult match in the second leg. they might be able to work their way up to win, but qualifying would require tremendous effort. the achievable possibility is to equalize the current aggregate. and then gambling continues with which team can take advantage of the opportunities in extra rounds. or maybe it will be determined from a penalty kick.

Inter victory wasn't due to the absence of one player in Milan side obviously. Many factors made them losing the game including their lack of concentration and the players performance..
The second leg or the first leg has nothing to do in this Italian clash. The only exception is that Inter will play comfortably since they are 2 goals above Milan which will play under pressure.

Manchester City did not play comfortably in the first game of the round against Real Madrid, but they will be my favourites in the second game. In fact, they've been my favorite in the champions league and premier league from the very beginning. In the first match, Rudiger stopped Haaland with a man-to-man defense. If Pep develops a few tactics that can open spaces for Haaland in the second match, I think the goal machine Haaland will take Manchester City to the next round. Also, if they lose this game, I don't think they will reflect a negative situation to the league.

[Velvet78]

We are likely to see a finale between Manchester City and Inter for now in my opinion. Manchester City are playing much better in home games and it should be the same against Real Madrid as well. But the rematch can still be very competitive depending on Real Madrid's being prepared for a bigger fight there. On the other hand Inter are already in a very advantageous situation and they can finish the incomplete job as long as they play decently.

When it comes to a finale between these teams it isn't hard to pick a side of course. Manchester City would be able to beat them nicely and reach the title finally.

Finals are again a different match than any other one, but for Manchester City I still believe that it is going to be another big sweat before they can be sure to make it to the final. I don't expect a win by a big margin for Manchester City at all. Real Madrid can always score goals with Vinicius Junior and Benzema and they can take away some pace from the game when necessary. Even if Manchester City pushes very hard with their own fans, there is tons of experience waiting for them to run an open knife. It is a difficult game for Guardiola in all regards from the first to the last minute.

Haaland should be able to make a big contribution in the second leg later because he seemed quite difficult to find his best form in the first leg.

Real Madrid are stronger when they play away and Manchester city are stronger when they play at home so this is definitely going to be a very strong game. Here's a stats that Real Madrid fans should be worried about Manchester city has always destroyed any team that draws them away just as Real Madrid has done. During the round of 16 1st leg, RB Leipzig drew 1:1 to Manchester city and then returning leg, Manchester city destroyed RB Leipzig 7:0 at Etihad. Same thing happen when they played the quarter finals, they drew against Bayern Munich away but destroyed Bayern Munich 3:0 previously when they played at the Etihad stadium.

All signs are just pointing towards Manchester city winning this season champions league, this match is more of the final than any teams that plays at the finals because neither Ac Milan or inter Milan can stand any of the side between Manchester city and Real Madrid. Any club that proceed between them wins the champions league for 2022/2023 session. Hopefully no player gets injuried during the league games so we can have an entertaining match on the 17th of may (Wednesday) for the return leg.

I'd say Real Madrid performance are inconsistent rather than saying they're stronger when they play away, they would win the Super Cup final against Barcelona, but Barcelona won against Real Madrid on that match. Real Madrid playing at their home are strong too, I think all clubs always play better at home. The first match was happen in Real Madrid's home, Manchester City able to end the match without lost, this is really a nightmare for Real Madrid.

That's why Manchester City is favorite in the second leg, it's really convincing Manchester City will win regardless how many goals they will scores

and I will still remain positive with Real Madrid even though the game will be at home to Man City which presents a slightly bigger chance. even so, Real Madrid will still be confident to qualify for the finals. With all the experience I've got, I'm sure Ancelotti has the right strategy to keep winning the game later.
I don't doubt Man City's performance but it's just that I prefer Real Madrid because Real Madrid's success in the UCL is very much recognized by many people because they always have a way to win matches with all the strategies that have been formed. if Man City is able to qualify for the final round, I say it is like luck.
