UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Docnaster]

...that is basically some of the worst defending I've seen from Real in a Champions League match ever. I wonder why they didn't stop soaking the play from City as soon as they went 1-0 down.

There will be no dark magic in this tie to save the game for Madrid, sorry in advance.

It is basically the worst defense and also the worst Midfield and was striking of Real Madrid.
No one expected this to happen this way.
I had to open my refrigerator to grab some wine in other to enjoy a beautiful Champions League game, but I was optimally disappointed when things started happening the way it was not supposed to be.
How come Manchester City have 240+  passes against Real Madrid having 45 passes.
This is an eye sour.... Second half just started

[Lida93]

Manchester City raced out to an impressive in the first half. Real Madrid were unable to withstand the onslaught. The Citizens have taken a two-goal lead. I have no idea what Madrid will do in the second half. City are in the Champions League final, I have no doubt.

Madrid are having a shock of the season as the dominance from City in the first half was overwhelming and unprecedented to their expectation that they could conceive 2 goals within the first 45mins of the game.

What Manchester City needs to do is to continue with the pressure in the second half as it were in the first half as they are with the upper hand now for the final round. For it can only take a miracle to happen for Madrid to make a come back and therefore take City to an extra half but how possible is that is what am unsure about.

[Mr.right85]

I don't believe Real will be able to equalise in the second half either, but I really hope so... Of course City are not Liverpool when Real managed to score five goals after conceding two... But I agree with you that City have absolute dominance and Real just can't be seen on the ground... I wish their game will be better in the second half...

With the style of play and aggression that Manchester City have been able to deliver in this game thus far, its safe to say Real Madrid is just gone. The chances that Real Madrid would come up with any come back is pretty much zero.
Manchester City is not going to let that be there fate this time, last time it was Rodrygo amd this time, its been De Bruyne and B. Silva looking to send them home. Real Madrid did waste there best chance of getting there home advantage, here is Manchester City showing them how it's done.

The second half is already on the go, it would be interesting to see what changes that would be effected in this second half.

[Bananington]

Courtois have really saved real Madrid in the first half of the match they will have conceded more than two goals in the first half of the match, he saved the two wonderful balls nodded by Haaland.

Courtois had more touches in the first half than Benzema and Vini jr. Ancelotti needs to make some tactical changes especially in Camavinga side. Modric was not in the first half and Madrid mainly suffered in the first half because they lacked a strong Midfield and Manchester took advantage. Real Madrid need to change back to 4-4-2, removing Rodrygo whose wing has not been functional and bring in a defender that can take Camavinga's place in left back so he can go back to the defensive midfield position he knows how to play best.  

[imamusma]

And it looks like Manchester City really dictated Real Madrid's game of the day like they did in the first half. Real Madrid could hardly build an attack in the first 30 minutes, they even had difficulty taking the ball from Manchester City players. Pep Guardiola really made Ancelotti's men bow in the first half when Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva managed to score twice against Courtois.

Eduardo Camavinga, who was predicted to play very well in the second leg, in fact could not stop Silva's movement on the left side of the defense. It was clear that it was an open hole in the Real Madrid defense in the first half and Manchester City really took advantage of it. I think that 1 more goal scored by Manchester City will completely end the struggle of Real Madrid and the optimism of its fans. There's no magic, it's a game.

Manchester city is taking advantage of the midfield,as Madrid midfield is very porous. Playing at home is a very big advantage to city as Sylva scored two goals to give his side big hope into the finals. Manchester city dominated the game an won possession over the game. It is quite surprising to Manchester city performance tonight,as they are in their super form.

Real Madrid has always being dangerous as Kroos took a world class shot from outside the box but it couldn't go through into the net. It hit the up side of the post. Real Madrid needs to take the second half serious if they are ready to qualify to the finals,if not they have already lost out of the final race because Manchester city is leading the game by 2 goals ahead of Real Madrid. I don't know if there will be a welcome back for Ancelotti men in the second half.

Since it is a game then you can definitely expect Real Madrid to catch up to that 2 goal deficit in the second half. The thing is, Manchester City are so good on all fronts at the moment and their confidence is boosted after being 2 goals up. Pep wasn't going to change his plans in the second half, I mean he was going to keep playing attacking football and dominating.

Real Madrid tried to build up in the second half and will probably try to make some difference from their strategy. But I think Manchester City will win this if they don't lower the intensity of their game.

[Issa56]

2- 0 in the first half is huge for Madrid to reply, After the goal, it became difficult for Madrid to slow the tempo down. All attention was on Haland to be getting goals, but the coordination between Walker and De Bruyne switched the system over that fed Bernado Silva's goals.
Real Madrid needs to regroup and attempt a different tactics in the second half in order to have a better comeback in this game.

Do you think the come back will be easy for Real Madrid, hope you know real Madrid is playing against Manchester city and the match is been played at Etihad stadium. I don't think it will be easy for Real Madrid to make any come back in this match, am sure even with the two goals scored by Manchester City, they won't relent in the match, am sure they will still put more effort to score more goals in the second half, and if they can't score more goals, am sure they will do everything possible to maintain the two goals which they have scored in the first half of the match.

[Docnaster]

Courtois have really saved real Madrid in the first half of the match they will have conceded more than two goals in the first half of the match, he saved the two wonderful balls nodded by Haaland.

Courtois had more touches in the first half than Benzema and Vini jr. Ancelotti needs to make some tactical changes especially in Camavinga side. Modric was not in the first half and Madrid mainly suffered in the first half because they lacked a strong Midfield and Manchester took advantage. Real Madrid need to change back to 4-4-2, removing Rodrygo whose wing has not been functional and bring in a defender that can take Camavinga's place in left back so he can go back to the defensive midfield position he knows how to play best. 

Courtio has more touches than all Madrid players in the first half. It is not the presence of Rodrygo that is the  problem. Rodrygo can mark, Ancelotti should remove Vervalde. I don't know how he played Junior Rodrygo, Valveder and Benzema in.the first half and yet nothing happened. They approached the match with fear and to the extent that Vinicius Junior started shouting for them to come forward. I don't really understand what Ancelotti did

This time, City were able to play a great first half, Real had almost no chance, it seems to me that the City players were just faster.

The second half started not so actively, after all, City already has a good advantage and now it is very important to keep it. Moreover, Real Madrid will now be forced to go forward and this will open space for City to attack. The situation is difficult for Real Madrid, if City can score even one more goal, then for Real Madrid it will definitely be over.

Inter Milan defeated AC Milan in the second aggregate match with the results of 1-0, Inter Milan excelled in two matches against AC Milan, although in this second aggregate AC Milan dominated but they did not find opportunities that led the results of the goal, very fierce indeed and only Discharge one goal in this match.
Inter Milan is waiting for his opponent who is competing between Manchaster City and Real Madrid, but it seems that Real Madrid is at the end of the hope because Mancaster City has been two goals ahead in the first half through Bernardo Silva, Halaand is still in the key to his movement, and it is definitely guessed By Pep, Madrid will not let Haaland continue to dribble, but Pep relies on other feet to anticipate that, because he thinks it is impossible to hope for Haaland who is certainly guarded by the Madrid defense.
That's a good strategy Pep.

[RockBell]

Manchester City has really dominated the game, Haaland two wonderful header on goal stopped by Curtuois and Grealish is having a great game, he's doing well on the left flank and keeping Calvajar busy. Two goals in 36mins of the game by Bernado Silva to put the home side ahead. Real Madrid is doing their best to comeback but they are really sloppy with the ball and lack confidence. I think Modric needs to be substituted in the second half, he's far from his best and always losing possession.

Manchester  city have surprised  me in tonights game, even real Madrid was not expecting  it, and Bernardo Silva scoring two goals the best players that Manchester City has his Bernardo Silva and  De Bruyn have very incredible performance, Haaland don't do half of what this players are doing  Haaland can always deliver when ever he gets a good assit, no argument about this Manchester City has already  won the tittle and real Madrid  really  fucked up was not expecting them to lose  against Manchester City the way they performedduringthe first leg, that's the joy of football.

For it can only take a miracle to happen for Madrid to make a come back and therefore take City to an extra half but how possible is that is what am unsure about.

Its not only Madrid that is shocked here, am also surprised at what Manchester city has transformed into in this semi finals match up, I mean the way they posses the ball and the certainty of which they attacked is just something else and if anything is going to happen in the second I probably think its not going to be much and I speaking from both teams because the two goals scored from Manchester city will just make them hold back a bit and see what they can achieved from this scoreline.

Courtois had more touches in the first half than Benzema and Vini jr. Ancelotti needs to make some tactical changes especially in Camavinga side. Modric was not in the first half and Madrid mainly suffered in the first half because they lacked a strong Midfield and Manchester took advantage. Real Madrid need to change back to 4-4-2, removing Rodrygo whose wing has not been functional and bring in a defender that can take Camavinga's place in left back so he can go back to the defensive midfield position he knows how to play best.

Now it is clear why the odds were so small for Manchester City. With 13 shots on goal from City and only 3 from Real Madrid after 65 minutes, the result of 2:0 is okay. It is surprising that Bernardo Silva is so important today, i thought Gündogan, De Bruyne or Haaland would decide the game. In the last minutes i would maybe bet on a 3:0 than a goal from Real Madrid. The final between Inter Milan and Manchester City is on 10 June, they play in Istanbul.

[Velvet78]

This is a total destruction by Manchester City and they have just scored their third goal. From now on I don't think Real Madrid have any hope left in this small time period remaining in the game. This time Manchester City didn't let their opponent shock them in the same way they did in the previous season. Winning by 4-1 on aggregate is really huge for Manchester City as well.

Because this is like one of the best kind of revenge types for them. This time Manchester City are really going for the Champions League title and Inter can't be a big obstacle ahead in my opinion.

There is no hope now and it is necessary to admit that Manchester City are playing very well and this is Pep's strategy which is very good indeed. They have shown signs of victory from the start and now the crucial minutes are there but the score is already far away.
4-1 This is an undeniable collapse and Manchester City are the final possible champions for the first time now.

I'm a Madridista but I have to admit that Madrid were outplayed in every sense of the word in this game although it wasn't nice to see and I'm furious about it but it's an undeniable fact.

[Docnaster]

Manchester City 3:0 Real Madrid 85mins

I dedicate the woeful performance and lost of Real Madrid tonight to a very well respected personal. A personality who holds a very excellent record in the Champions League and that is the coach that has the highest winnings in the Champions League and that is no other person than Ancelotti. He is purely the architect of Real Madrid lost to night with very wrong formation and decision making .

Look at the statistics for this match, 62% ball possession, that's really crazy... Man City appears very compact, confident, and dominating while Madrid looks chaotic.  hard for Madrid to be able to turn things around if they are already behind 3 goals on aggregate.

100% of the matches that will happen in the final are man city vs inter and Inter's chances of winning in the final are very small compared to man city.... man city will make history by getting their first UCL title i think.

[Balmain]

Manchester City determined the direction of the match with full game control. Real Madrid were eager for a comeback, as it seemed unimpressed by the first Bernardo's goal. City took full control after Bernardo scored his second goal. This year will be Manchester City's season, I expect a double trophy from Manchester City. There were so many missed goals by Manchester City that only Haland had two post shots. I didn't even count the other missed goals. The match is not over. City still continues to play aggressively, they are very eager.

At this point, Manchester City is the champion in this season because with their style of play, tonight having scored 3 goals to none against a strong club like Real Madrid and almost won the match it is now obvious that there is no club left that could possibly stop real made is victory in the remaining time of this season now that real Madrid is out of the way.

I am sure they could still score another goal in this match but which of the man Cory player going to work that out at this critical stage of March is unclear.

[Smartvirus]

At this point, all hopes I lost for Real Madrid. Ancelotti just might have accepted defeat right from the moment he substituted Luka Modric for Rudiger. I was shocked at the choice to take out your mid fielder to bring in a defender in a game where your loosing. Stil, he made other substitutions like Camavinga, although I could say he was playing it safe at those point given that, his got a yellow card but, he was still losing and needs all the pressure these guys can bring to the game.
Its a well deserved win for Manchester City no doubt as they've increased therr aggregates to 3 goals, limited time on the clock and still, Pep isn't going easy on bringing in attackers. What a season it is for Manchester City, they deserve all they've got for real.

[bitzizzix]

The match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is coming to an end and it is certain that Manchester City will qualify for the final and meet Inter Milan.
We have to admit that Manchester City's game is very good from all fronts, especially in defense which is very solid and tight, because Real Madrid is very difficult to score goals.
4-0 is a big win for Mancheter City and it is difficult for Real Mandrid to turn things around even though turning things around is identical to Real Madrid, but as we can see, Manchester City is really a very good team and also scary for opponents.
