UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[izsara]

I did feel Manchester City won but I didn't expect the score to be this big.

The goal margin suprised everyone today, Real Madrid made a mistake by conceding that amount of goals, no one expect that any of the club will be able to score 4 goals in the match  :)since the two clubs are strong clubs, but Real Madrid made everything easy for Manchester City and they scored four goals, if not for Courtois, they will have conceded more than 4 goals.

There were several saves that Courtois did quite well, including Haaland's 2 headers at the start of the first half before they celebrated goals.
Madrid has a pretty bad defense in this game and that's a problem that can't be avoided. On the other hand, Manchester City also played very well in this match because they already understood what had to be done in this match.

Real Madrid will accept losing in the Champions League semi-finals. It was one of the most difficult games I've seen this season, as Manchester City didn't give Los Blancos any breathing space on the pitch, attacking from all angles, and we all know the Etihad Stadium is only for business. Pep Guardiola worked so hard for this moment, to eliminate one of the top teams in UCL and the globe, and he deserves a few thumbs throughout the time comfortably beating the visitors is not an average effort.   They've advanced to the final, and I'm hoping they'll win this time.

Manchester city surprised all their fans today by winning Real Madrid today, their next match will be against inter Milan which from my observation I don’t think they can stop Manchester city from winning the champions league, Manchester City is in form and they will defeat any club that comes their way.

Manchester City won and won big but the more impression is they are a first team in Champions League in the last two seasons can make Real Madrid look very weak mentally like this. The second goal of Bernado Silva is very important as before that, Real Madrid did create chances and even had one shot from Kroos that hits the cross bar. After the second goal from Bernado and control of Manchester City, Real Madrid started to become weaker and weaker mentally.

The third goal (own goal) is simply the end for Real Madrid. They have to aim at future with young players as those old players who have gain massive success with 5 Champions League for them in the last 10 years, already hit their human limit.

Manchester City with this win, will have a final match and they need to beat Inter Milan to be the champion. Inter Milan actually are not an easy opponent in the final and Catenaccio is one of tactics is not like by Pep Guardiola in his career.

There was a huge difference in squad quality between the two teams and Manchester City's bench was also very strong. Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden entered the game in the second half for Manchester City. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola had too many alternatives and had the power to tactically interfere with the game no matter what the situation.

Manchester City always have abundant good players in their club but not always their alternative players can play well. In a good day, everything looks to be good but in a bad day, all looks bad. In this match, it is simply a perfect day for Manchester City. I don't think comparison about big difference in player quality between two clubs is correct.

I think that's why Manchester City took an easy win. It was as if they played against a weak opponent in the group match, they were very comfortable in this match.

It is not an easy win if Kroos scores a goal with his distant shot that can change the game entirely. Manchester City are strong, play well and deserve the win but they also get luckiness from that shot too. If Real Madrid equalizes with that shot, I don't know how the match will continue.

Business in the world of football is no longer a strange thing, friends.
Forget that and let's talk about the match that made Real Madrid fail and Manchester City's success in advancing to the final with a large aggregate of goals.

The 1-1 result at Santiago Bernabeu became Manchester City's main capital to play without burden in England under the instruction of Pep Guardiola.
Real Madrid was overwhelmed by the attacks made by Manchester City players.
Bernardo Silva's goal in the 23rd minute boosted Man City's spirits and put Real Madrid under even more pressure.
Real Madrid tried to restore confidence by trying to attack, but Bernardo Silva again knocked Real Madrid's spirits down with his second goal in the first half.
The game shown by Manchester City as a whole cannot be separated from the brilliant actions of Kevin de Bruyne. He became the creator behind the 4-0 victory.

Their success in stopping Real Madrid made Pep Guardiola, a coach who is known for being intelligent, managed to beat Carlo Ancelotti six times out of ten.

Manchester city have the advantage as they’ll be playing at home but Real Madrid have proven many times that they can take points on any foreign soil. For all the quality on show, an the individual brilliance that brings, there are a number of fascinating match-ups which could dictate who will play in the UCL finals. With no doubt Real Madrid’s experience at these stages has shown in recent years. This is the stage of the competition where they come alive, but looking at this Manchester city team and how far they’re been consistent, I feel they will surely win this game at home.

Yes, as we expected, Manchester City performed very satisfactorily by breaking into Real Madrid's goal 4 - 0.
This is one of the extraordinary wins that Manchester City got because from both legs winning 5 - 1 on aggregate.
It was a very happy day where the bet I made also won by a landslide.

[vennali]

It looks like Man City are on the verge of winning the Champions League title for the first time in their history. They came close once before in 2021 but couldn't get past Chelsea to win the title. Inter will surely pose a threat and would be a fairlytail if they manage to snatch it past Man City. Inter have won the CL before, so, they do have the pedigree to show up when it counts. Should be an entertaining battle and Italians have historically been great at defending through the 2000's and hopefully this time as well, against a very potent Man City's attack.

Exactly what I predicted that Manchester city will beat Real madrid and can qualify for the champions league final.
I congratulate Manchester City on the victory and I'm sure that in the final later Inter milan is not a threat to Manchester city and it's easy to beat Inter milan.

Manchester City showed Real Madrid how to win at home in this match. Manchester City drew 1-1 at Real Madrid's ground in the first match. When Real Madrid came to Manchester City in the second match they beat Real Madrid 4-0. Manchester City were aggressive from the start and scored 2 goals in the first half. In the second half they attacked more and Real Madrid had no time to turn around with Manchester City. As a result, Real Madrid scored 2 more goals in the second half. I wanted to bet on this match but I couldn't bet on the match due to a lot of ambivalence in myself. But I congratulate you for winning this match by betting.

Manchester City has won several matches in a row. And the team at the top of the points table is the most likely to win the cup this time because Manchester City's performance is much better than the performance of other teams. Manchester City has the best chance to win trophies like EPL Cup, FA Cup etc. Especially since their aggressive game has led to a lot of attacks from the front of the opposing team. Manchester City is very advanced and successful especially through counter attack. Meanwhile, Real Madrid couldn't save a single ball and Manchester City had the ball at their feet most of the time in the middle of the game. Manchester City used their intelligence and strategy to make it to the final.

It's no surprise to anyone that Rea Madrid would be outplayed in their second leg match against Man City. As expected, match between Madrid vs City appeared to be a one-sided affair, while City dominating from start to finish. In fact, they not only scored 4 goals but managed to humiliate Real Madrid as well. It was truly a superb showing, and could have been even bigger result though. Congratulations to Pep and his wonderful squad, it's time for Man City win the treble.

Congratulations to Manchester city for the favour they got from Real Madrid, and many people predicted for the favour of Real Madrid based on what happened in their first leg but Manchester city surprised people by defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-final to eliminate them from UEFA champions league tournament. Manchester city coach has proven it again to be the best coach among other coaches for the excellent performance they have displayed from the beginning of this tournament till now. I think, Manchester city has what it takes to win this UEFA champions league title, because the only team that could have stop Manchester city is out from the tournament.

No doubt Manchester City have have been in incredible form this season, they overplayed Madrid and dominatee the game all through. Real Madrid had a disastrous first half, and although they improved in the second half, they were unable to penetrate Manchester City’s defense. In fact I smelled this defeat from the beginning when Ancelotti opted to start with Eder Militao in place for Rudiger, despite the his excellent performance in the first leg. It is a disappointing end for Real Madrid, although they have picked up three trophies across the campaign.

Manchester City played extremely well and dominated until the end of the game, in terms of ball possession and attack, they were superior to Real Madrid. Real Madrid had no response against Man City this time and couldn't score until the end of the match. The first and second points were scored by B. Silva who managed to put the ball into Real Madrid's goal, followed by Willian and Alvarez who also scored goals against Real Madrid. This time, they defeated the Spanish giant convincingly, even though Real Madrid made many attempts to equalize the score, nothing managed to get through.

Pep Guardiola and the Man City players deserve extraordinary appreciation for beating Real Madrid so extraordinary. Even Real Madrid seemed to struggle to get out of the pressure throughout the game.

But I really don't understand the tactics used by Carlo Ancelotti for Real Madrid in the second leg. I really regret Carlo Ancelotti's decision not to play Antonio Rudiger. Even though Ancelotti himself admitted in an interview that he considered that Antonio Rudiger's first leg contributed greatly in stopping Haaland's movement. And make Real Madrid's defense very sturdy. In the semi-final first leg, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba performed very well in holding off every attack built by Haaland and his friends. But I don't know the reason why Ancelotti made Rudiger sit on the bench. Ancelotti even played Militao to replace Rudiger. And as we can see Militao is not playing any better than Rudiger. In fact, I feel Militao played a little badly. this is one of the mistakes in the line-up played by Ancelotti at the back.

And Real Madrid's back line players were too busy guarding Haaland and have made B. Silva play more freely and managed to score goals for Man City very well.

[JeffBrad12]

Based from the match that happened last night i just wanna say that if some mistakes have been making by ancelotti.

- Replacing duriger with militao was the worst mistake. Rudiger itself could effectively reducing the threat from haaland. Rudiger was able 1 on 1 to the haaland but ancelotti was benched him.
- The decision to put rudiger in the bench was also making so many real madrid defenders are unable to keep another player.

That's why bernardo silva was able making two goals against real madrid. It's caused by he was always getting free space. It must be the most important things to be evaluated by real madrid.

[bering]

The first two goals in the first half must have hurt Real Madrid, but not as much as their own goal in the second half. The luck was not only with Real Madrid, as Pep made the required steps to remove Real Madrid from the tournament, which he did. Real Madrid had been an impediment to him winning the Champions League, but now he has the chance to show off his expertise in the final game.

however, this is a really surprising result for me. it is very possible indeed for Man City to win. but I don't think Madrid will have much trouble getting a goal at home to Man City.
Pep really does everything very well. a strategy that keeps Madrid from moving much. even with Madrid's best squad, they don't have many chances.

Guardiola has been learn from first leg match that Manchester City were playing fully aggressive and it makes Real Madrid cannot develop their game because they were playing under pressure and Manchester City really control the match and besides that i do agree with the post above me because Ancelotti has made a fatal mistakes with placed Rudiger to Militao and this makes Haaland can moving free in this match although he didn't scores goals but his movement makes Madrid players too focus to him and this caused some of Manchester City players can free to scores goals

Manchester City journey until final match is very amazed seems hardly any team who can beat them in this competition and Guardiola has one more step to make a history by bringing first chsmpion league trophy to Manchester City and if we see from their performance since group stage until today it shouldn't be a problem for Manchester City to beat Inter

[davis196]

Not a single player from Manchester City had a weak performance. All of them played really well.
Real Madrid players where on the opposite side. Benzema was pretty isolated and blocked by Man City defenders. Rodrigo was horrible and Vinicius Jr. also had a bad day. Kroos and Modric were outclassed by the midfielders of Manchester City. Real Madrid's wing backs didn't provide enough support for Vinicius and Rodrigo in attack, mostly because they were under pressure during the entire game. Great game by Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish. Solid performance by KDB as usual. All Man City players were outstanding.

Man city destroyed real Madrid with 4 goals without leaving any room for surprises, with this result they prooved again that they are not joking and they are giving their best for getting the champoins league title, now they will play against inter and i believe they can do it without many defficulties

Manchester city had maximum control of the game. They came prepared and were very tactical throughout the game. They nullified the attacking flexibilities of Real Madrid and that gave them else to put them under pressure all through the game. This season, Manchester city’s treble is loading.. they will celebrate the champion league trophy more than who have won it 14 times. It will be more precious to them especially beating the most experienced team in the competition.

Manchester City's squad this season has been extraordinary, it is very difficult to stop their progress in any event. After being able to show his prowess when he beat the defending champion with a big score, I made sure that Manchester City were one step away from celebrating winning the Champions League for the first time in Istanbul. After this Pep Guardiola will of course shift his focus to domestic competition and most likely the Premier League and FA Cup will also be theirs. It's really great for Manchester City this season if they can win the Treble Winners.
