You need Benzema and Rodrygo if you want to beat City. Vinicius is also very good, but the supply must also be good. In the 1st half, City had things well under control against Madrid, but Madrid still took the lead. But coming back to Manchester City, surely it will have to be a hit for them to win the title? They can't really be or are better than now with Haaland in the rush hour. I think he's going to make a difference in the coming week, but Rudiger had him in the bag quite a bit last week. And Benzema must also have his moment, but he also failed to make his mark on the defense at Manchester City.

I agree with you, Benzema and Rodrigo can make a difference in Real Madrid's game. Especially if it is a very crucial match for them. Last season that destroyed Manchester City was Rodrigo, he can be the hero of the victory to successfully get rid of Manchester City. At the end of the spear, Benzema is really needed by Real Madrid at this time, because there is no player who can replace his role in attack.

I actually have doubts about Real Madrid next game against City and if Rudiger snatched a good victory against Haaland , I'm sure Haaland will have something to say about this and maybe even score two goals on them because even if I'm not fan of City at all , this team really looks unbeatable this year in UCL and the fact that they obtain a draw on Bernabeu might be just enough.  

They look unbeatable in the English Premier League and if you sincerely watched the first leg, think Madrid had to score first and Manchester City now found a way to equalize. All I know about City is that recently, they haven't gone to Champions League with a weak team. They are always in their best form and always the best team but the atmosphere of semi finals and finals is what City is not used to.
They could suffer defeat against Madrid if Vinicius Junior should replicate what he did in the first leg and also Rudiger is able to mark out Haaland.

Since Real Madrid can't perform well in home matches, I think they won't be able to win in away matches either. Manchester City have been very strong at home this season. And this season's Champions League title they want to win by any means. Also, City are a very strong team this season. The bonding between team players is very strong. At the same time, Guardiola's match strategy in this season's Champions League is excellent. I think Manchester City will qualify for the final if they don't make any big mistakes in their home match against Madrid.

That logic shouldn't apply. Why wouldn't I only ask myself whether Real Madrid has the players to win a game against Manchester City or not? In my opinion Real Madrid has the players that are able to beat any opponent in any game, no matter whether it takes place at home or away. What does it matter whether they are a bit weaker at home or away? This is a one game situation now since they tied the first leg and Real Madrid is definitely able to beat Manchester City. This is now just a question of probabilities based on the teams' strengths in general, but also at home and away. Since Manchester City is a monster in general, and even stronger monster at home where they won 16 out of 18 games with 59:17 goals, Manchester City has the better chances I think. But we are still talking about Real Madrid. If it was over already, why would anyone here tune in? And I am sure that most of the guys here are going to watch it

[baeva]

Yes, absolutely. In soccer, and especially in the Champions League, there have been bigger comebacks. I wouldn't be so sure about the second finalist either. In Spain, visiting Real Madrid, Manchester City looked very good, at least in the first half, in the second half the game seemed to level out. Real Madrid knows how to attack sharply and complete attacks successfully, I do not know what Manchester City lacked and why they missed, apparently Vinicius is just hard to stop, because overall the game was terrific on both sides. Manchester City is likely to be able to beat Real Madrid at home, it is easier to play in the home walls

The possibility of Manchester City beating Real Madrid in the second leg is very open, Manchester City's form of play which is always stable and unbeaten record in 10 home games is a good capital when hosting Real Madrid at the Etihad stadium.
Before the match vs Real Madrid started, Manchester City visited Everton headquarters first. Guardiola will rotate in several positions to maintain players' fitness against Real Madrid, apart from that Guardiola needs to direct players to keep the movements of Vinicius and Benzema who often threaten the opponent's goal.
Manchester City also needs to increase their attacks and take advantage of opportunities to pay for failure at the Bernabeu, capital of home wins in the last 10 matches in all competitions encourage Manchester City players to win to advance to the final.

I think it's enough that they are in pretty good form, in their league they need 3 points in three games to win. I mean, they can go all out now without leaving their energy for the main championship, because there they will have time to rest and win once to win. So we are in for some spectacular football.

...
Real Madrid 3.35

Manchester City FC 1.32

A huge bias in favor of the City, it is almost 75% to 25%. Perhaps this is a fair estimate, but still I will hope that we will see exactly the 25% where the City will be knocked out again.

I see Manchester City as the favorites of this tournament since the beginning of the season but I think the odds are not really balanced. Manchester City are a better team than Real Madrid and they will make up for last year's accident in this match, but I did not find these odds realistic.

I think Pep Guardiola will use Kyle Walker to stop Vinicius. If he makes this move, he will have tied the hands of Real Madrid. Because this move will also weaken Benzema's effectiveness. I wonder what Ancelotti will do to stop Haaland. I wouldn't want to be in his place.

Well, I would say that things can look very different here, I am with the fact that many bet on City, but the Experience that Real Madrid has is another level,it has no comparison, I would say that things here are different when it comes to being In these instances,Madrid is the Defending Champion, and even so they know that they have to stop Haaland because he is the man who can bring the most danger to Courtois's goal, if they manage to stop him I would say that Madrid will find it easy or relatively more comfortable make your game to win.

It's almost time and we're going to see the great match between Real Madrid and Manchester City. At least, I think this will be a great game. Manchester City have failed to win the CL for a few years in a row. Last year they should have won the title, but also in the year they played the final against Chelsea they should have won the title. It's a wonder that City still haven't won the title, but the bookmakers still think City is the favourite. Inter Milan - AC Milan is not a match that will result in clean football. It's all about the result for both teams. How special would it be if Inter or AC Milan won the CL?

But I think Manchester City team will secure victory in Champions League semi-final match. Because Manchester City is ahead in all aspects. However, it would be foolish to underestimate Real Madrid, Real Madrid is an incredibly strong team. I think we can enjoy the semi-final match between Manchester City and Real Madrid much like the final match.

As previously discussed, this depends on our judgment when talking about speculation because everyone is allowed to assume the team they think is worthy of advancing.
Take for example when Napoli faced Milan before because I think the majority said the same of Napoli but as the game progressed it was evident in the 90 minutes. Even now, the conditions are the same, we are free to state whatever becomes our speculation, but again, the results will be there in 90 minutes as proof.

One of the best games we will have, but of course, the first game is Exciting, nothing like watching the second, personally I think that things here happen like anything else,but the second game Between City and Madrid will be heart-stopping, I think that despite everything that will win will be Madrid and will go to the final, I am still standing that the final should be Milan vs Madrid, I don't know if I don't like it for saying so, but it is what I appreciate best, they are also teams that they have given everything and that is what is sought in fútbol, that they always fight for this and that they give the best show.

You need Benzema and Rodrygo if you want to beat City. Vinicius is also very good, but the supply must also be good. In the 1st half, City had things well under control against Madrid, but Madrid still took the lead. But coming back to Manchester City, surely it will have to be a hit for them to win the title? They can't really be or are better than now with Haaland in the rush hour. I think he's going to make a difference in the coming week, but Rudiger had him in the bag quite a bit last week. And Benzema must also have his moment, but he also failed to make his mark on the defense at Manchester City.

Last season that destroyed Manchester City was Rodrigo, he can be the hero of the victory to successfully get rid of Manchester City. At the end of the spear, Benzema is really needed by Real Madrid at this time, because there is no player who can replace his role in attack.

These players are key for them to win any competition, Personally I think that Ancelotti's secret weapon is those players plus Camavinga, but the alarms went off because it seems Camavinga has a not-so-strong Sprain , but he still needs attention, and Well, the Match with City is necessary and a lot , the Player does his job very well, so Ancelotti is a fact that he Wants to count on him, and I'm sure that all Madrid Fans want them to play.

[izsara]

AC Milan have serious troubles after losing 0 -2 at the first leg and if Rafael Leao won't be able to play in a second leg, they will have very small chance to make a comeback. Inter Milan are playing very well with counter attacking and they are very dangerous with this tactics. With good result from a first leg, Inter Milan will have perfect chance to play with their favorite tactic in a second leg.

I don't see any possibility AC Milan will win with 2 goals difference behind Inter Milan because AC Milan recently lose 0-2 against Spezia in Serie A, Spezia is currently at 18th position which is in regelation zone. Spezia haven't win in the last 8 matches except AC Milan, it show how bad AC Milan is.

However the odds for Inter Milan to win is quite high for @2.05 in the second leg, this is really a worthy bet.

With their current performance, it will indeed look very difficult for Milan, regardless of whether their current condition is not safe. Moreover, seeing them this week who also had to lose to Spezia in the domestic competition, it was indeed very difficult for Milan, especially Inter, who were in good condition.

It looks like they have to stop in the semi-finals but things like that are still very good for them if you look at it from before this is the best achievement for Milan in the Champions League in several seasons that they always do.

Manchester city no doubt have the upper hand seeing that they would have the home crowd as an advantage but this can still not count when against the prolific Real Madrid side that probably know how to get a way around this particular round of the champions league. It won't be any surprise if am to see real Madrid knock Manchester city out of the competition because they have all the potentials and tactics to actually win Manchester city in this game despite the fact Manchester city would even be playing at home.

Their matches at the Etihad are always with very high confidence but on the other hand for now Madrid also do not want their title as champions for this competition to be taken for granted.
Now, looking at the Madrid players who have been deployed in the domestic league, it looks like they do have some energy there but I still haven't received any news about Benzema because he wasn't in the squad for Madrid against Getafe.

Camavinga was also injured against Getafe though according to their manager Ancelloti the injury is not that serious hopefully he will be fit to play against Man City on Wednesday because he had been one of the best player of the team this season, in the case of Benzema, according to some news reports he was rested against Getafe for the UCL return leg. Man City will capitalize on their home advantage at Etihad of course I expect the team to dominate possession and press their opponent very well, however Real Madrid will play counter attack via Vinicius Jr who is a very pacy winger with Benzema taking the striking role any clear cut chances will be well utilized by him, I am predicting a win by either side.

You are right if in the first leg match Real madrid failed to provide a strong performance to get more scores but it turns out that Manchester city is also in a strong state to host Real madrid as the host.
After that the second leg will take place at the Etihad Stadium which will put a little pressure on Real Madrid which makes Carlo Ancelotti have to think about the right strategy to be able to maintain the situation at the Etihad Stadium.
But it seems difficult for Real madrid to qualify for the final round and I believe more that Manchester city will win the match and qualify for the champions league final.

[jakdanyel]

Benzema, Rodrygo and Alaba all are injured now and will not play against Manchester City as it seems. This must be a huge disappointment for Real Madrid. Because they are all critical players for Real Madrid now. Benzema and Rodrygo are already very important in the attacking line but now they will nearly completely rely on Vinicius Junior from now on. Ancelotti will use the same strategy again as it seems.  

Alaba looked also decent about defending Haaland in the first leg. In his absence Rudiger will have a bigger responsibility to keep him away from scoring goals. He was successful in the first leg maybe but here his job might be harder. I'm seeing Manchester City closer to the finale now.

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester City are a difficult team to play at the moment especially when they have something important at stake, for seasons Manchester City have always dominated towards the end of the season so I expected it will difficult having them lose a game at this final stages of the season which they are already proving my point. Real Madrid have a history competing in the Champions league, could this be another victory year for them or will City finally get a break through in this competition? I think the second leg tie will decide that.

Wow, if this is how the case is,then I must say that the match will be in favour of Manchester city because all their players are in form and will be playing the second leg match. I guess that they are very lucky this season for three Real Madrid players to on injured and wouldn't feature in the second leg match.

Manchester city should use this opportunity wisely in order for them to make a revenge on Real Madrid  on what Real Madrid did them last year in the semifinals. If Manchester city shoukd win Real Madrid,automatically I believe that they will be the winner of this season UCL. It means that this will be a great year for them to achieve two major trophies,which are EPL and UCL.

[Stable090]

You are right , the two teams have the same qualities of winning the game. Many people thinks this time the game won't favour Real Madrid but I don't believe that , Real madrid are unpredictable and have much convenience to win in Champions league . Real Madrid players are too good.

It’s just funny to me whenever I hear people saying Real Madrid is the king of champions league and they believe Real Madrid will defeat Manchester City in the second leg of match. If you think Real Madrid is the king of champions league, then you should know Manchester city is not also a small club and they are also very dangerous, lots of people are listing the dangerous players which Real Madrid are having but we all know Manchester city are also having dangerous players.

The chances of the two clubs winning the match is just equal, I don’t believe in any club having higher chances and if am to select any club that I think might win, then I will be selecting Manchester City because they are playing at their stadium.

Your explanation is quite confusing. I think manchester city has a better chance in the second leg because it is playing at the etihad stadium. Manchester city has hopes of getting 3 trophies this season so they will play a more aggressive game to be able to beat real madrid.

Indeed, in one factor, Real Madrid was quite difficult to beat because in the first leg they played quite well, especially being able to turn off the movement from Haaland, which made the second leg a little difficult to predict the final result.

But hope that everything will be tried as best as possible because Manchester City has everything for the second leg, coupled with good achievements in the domestic league which can increase the enthusiasm of the players to show their best in the second leg against Real Madrid.

Oh no! I haven't been keeping up with the latest football news due to some circonstances so thank you for sharing these updates, This is a very terrible timing for injuries especially against Manchester City. I hope that nothing has been confirmed yet or maybe it's just a trick from Real Madrid to fool Manchester tactics. These three injured players you mentioned are crucial and a key for Real Madrid to win without Karim we Can’t see many goals Xd.
In the first leg we saw great defense and Haaland's marking from Real Madrid aside from Carvajal's mistake that led to the goal in my opinion. I also believe that Ancelotti should look for a replacement for Carvajal given his defensive mistakes i personally saw beside ,any wrong passes and lost possession i think Carvajal is old and lost his skills unfortunately.
But still and despite all these challenges and bad news that Real Madrid received I still have faith in the team's abilities getting to finals, so im definitely betting on them.

[D-law]

You need Benzema and Rodrygo if you want to beat City. Vinicius is also very good, but the supply must also be good. In the 1st half, City had things well under control against Madrid, but Madrid still took the lead. But coming back to Manchester City, surely it will have to be a hit for them to win the title? They can't really be or are better than now with Haaland in the rush hour. I think he's going to make a difference in the coming week, but Rudiger had him in the bag quite a bit last week. And Benzema must also have his moment, but he also failed to make his mark on the defense at Manchester City.

I agree with you, Benzema and Rodrigo can make a difference in Real Madrid's game. Especially if it is a very crucial match for them. Last season that destroyed Manchester City was Rodrigo, he can be the hero of the victory to successfully get rid of Manchester City. At the end of the spear, Benzema is really needed by Real Madrid at this time, because there is no player who can replace his role in attack.

At Etihad that would be a different case
Man City are everyday getting all of the advantages of winning the champions league
Benzema we know did not step up in the last game we might still see same if they are well caged by City defenders

Real Madrid does not have a home or away team in the Champions League; they play both with full confidence and always ready to win. I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid wins at Etihad Stadium this week, but I doubt it because the current situation makes predicting the outcome tough. Manchester City is also known for always winning at home and may still want to go for it and win. The home stadium where the game will be played, in my opinion, is not a deciding element in this match.

You forgot to add vini. Sometimes, valverde was also helping real madrid to leave from difficult situation. Rodrygo can come anytime as a savior for real madrid. He was always making an unpredictable movement that was helping real madrid to win the crucial match. Rodrygo is such an underrated player. I remember when rodrygo was making dramatic goal against manchester city which is very good. Real madrid was able winning UCL last seas after it was destroying manchester city through epic comeback.

The only thing that makes it different if this time real madrid will be playing away at the second round of UCL. Ancelotti was not even using a single player from its main squad. The last match against getafe has been showing if ancelotti was using secondary lineup against it.
that's why hazard was also playing at that time. Madrid is now fully preparing against manchester city. KDB and haaland are always become the main target.

Rudiger will be going play in full time soon to make sure haaland will not get free space.

[Cookdata]

Since Real Madrid can't perform well in home matches, I think they won't be able to win in away matches either. Manchester City have been very strong at home this season.

But we are still talking about Real Madrid. If it was over already, why would anyone here tune in? And I am sure that most of the guys here are going to watch it

Champion League is different from other Domestic leagues and we often think those minor analyses will think of home and away counts, teams use it as an opportunity to improve the match they couldn't score, so when you see other teams that lost in the first leg, it is possible they can get spirited and then perform better than the first leg, this is how I view Real Madrid to chase Manchester City out of the Champions League. Some people are worried that Camavinga was injured in their last match and because they didn't announce official statements, they fear even more but rest assured even Real Madrid knows how he does his things miraculously.

I don't believe those three players are really on injury, don't be suprise that you will see them on the field when playing against Manchester City, what I think is that it's just a set up just to deceive their opponent, maybe they believe with this kind of news their opponent will feel relaxed and they are going to suprise them when the match started. If truly those three players are on injury, then the chances of Real Madrid winning Manchester city will be kind of slim, the match might not really be as competitive as the way most people are thinking, but nobody is sure if those players will be playing or not, so let's just wait till the main day.
