UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Spaceman1000$]

I think right now Manchester City is a stronger squad compared to Real Madrid. And I absolutely agree about Manchester City being more ready. Manchester City has been facing hard opponents throughout the whole season. And how many hard opponents do Real Madrid face? Barcelona?
And at this point, I don't think Atletico Madrid is on the same level as Real Madrid. Some people will say that Girona will also cause problems. But I think if I remember correctly Girona was never able to give Real Madrid big competition head to head.

So Real Madrid is definitely not going to be as prepared to face Manchester City as Manchester City will be to face Real Madrid.

I also think the same. Manchester City have a player like Erling Haaland on the front before anything else.    I know Haaland can be really ineffective from time to time and this is more commonly seen in big games. The Liverpool game they played recently can be considered as an example. Another example is his performance as of the semi finals phase in the Champions League last season.

However Haaland is still a beast and a goal machine. Real Madrid don't have that kind of a player in the attacking line but it is still up to their team performance on one hand. I don't think we will watch an easy matchup for any of these teams this time.

Real Madrid prepared to face City?That is not going to happen.Real was destroyed 4-0 last year when they were playing much better than what I saw against Leipzig during this season,that was the most ugly football I have ever seen in my life and trust me I have seen more than 25 years of football,never I have seen such a boring game like that of Real Madrid against a team like Leipzig which is nowhere near the power of Manchester City.

Real for me is out 101% and they don't stand a single chance against City with that type of football that they have showed so far in the Champions League,if the odds will be good for City when playing away I am going to bet an extensive amount as I am sure they will beat Real at Bernabeu too.

For me it is a game of chance, it is 50-50, either of them can win it and progress to the next round, but it all depends on the team that is capable of creating and also converting these chances, they are both playing well in their domestic leagues respectively so I don't think anyone of them is inferior to the other or superior, all I see is a very interesting yet fierce contest between two of Europe's finest elite clubs, perhaps the winner of this tie may turn out to be the winner of this year's edition. And I also want to emphasize that it won't be easier for Manchester city as it was for them last season when both clubs met in the semi final stage.

I have doubts in every key this time, only in the Atletico - Dortmund one i can see a favorite to win wich is Atletico clearly, but in the other games i dont really see it, between Man City and Real Madrid i see a 60-40 and for the other games im 50-50 in both remaining games.

I think none would be happy to see Manchester City playing against Real Madrid before the final game because very soon we should say goodbye to one of these teams which is not good for the football fans because both teams are very strong and both could have perfect performances in the Champions League games. Maybe this would be amazing to have Real Madrid against Manchester City in 5the final match of the Champions League.
Even Txiki Begiristain the director of Manchester City was sad to see the team playing against Real Madrid, but he said his team is full confidence to beat Real Madrid for another time in the quarter-final game.
But I'm sure Real Madrid is very much ready to take the revenge.

I too was upset when I saw that Man City and Madrid will meet again not in the final... Last season City easily defeated Real Madrid... Of course it will be interesting to see them meet this season, because it seems to me that Real have a chance to win this time... But probably this match should have happened in the final...

Me too. I was hoping and praying that Madrid would face City in the final, but the game started earlier. It will be heartbreaking to see one of them eliminated in this round. Manchester City hopes to win the UCL trophy again this season after doing so last season. The suqad used by city is different compared to the last season but they are still having good capability like last season's squad.
Manchester City will be able to beat Madrid. The club must have replicated Real Madrid's defeat at the hands of City, who scored five times against madrid last seasons. The same momentum will occur again soon. Kyle Walker is prepared to stop Vini from scoring in the upcoming game.
The only issue is that Vini puts in all of his effort to create the long shoot. City frequently conceded goals from him through long shots from outside the penalty box. This is the most important thing Manchester City must anticipate to ensure Vini has no space to take long shots against the city.

Walker was able to stop Vinicius last season from penetrating through his wing, but I must say that was last season, as Vini has improved better than last season, and he will not forget Walker. This will make him want to find all means of making sure that he can strike from any place, if Walker wants to stop him from displaying his talent. It will be a very difficult match for both clubs, and no one can tell what the outcome of this match will be. City needs to be careful because Real Madrid play pattern is fast and they can force them to play their game pattern, which would not be nice for City. This is why City needs not to dance to their tone but play the game to suit their own game pattern.

For me it is a game of chance, it is 50-50, either of them can win it and progress to the next round, but it all depends on the team that is capable of creating and also converting these chances, they are both playing well in their domestic leagues respectively so I don't think anyone of them is inferior to the other or superior, all I see is a very interesting yet fierce contest between two of Europe's finest elite clubs, perhaps the winner of this tie may turn out to be the winner of this year's edition. And I also want to emphasize that it won't be easier for Manchester city as it was for them last season when both clubs met in the semi final stage.

Yeah I agree with you that both teams have the same chance of winning the match indeed, in comparison, Manchester City has a better history throughout the Champions League matches however this does not close Real Madrid opportunity to win. Real Madrid is a team that is not easy to predict, they play normally against weaker teams but will be aggressive against strong teams so I'm sure the situation will be different against Manchester City.

We also have to remember when Manchester City played against Leipzig the match ended with a score of 3-2 this means that Manchester City also had difficulty beating Leipzig well, from these 2 matches we can conclude that Leipzig is not a weak team they have the ability to attack and score goals, what is clear is that the Man City vs Real Madrid match is the one we are waiting for and we are curious who will go to the next stage. In the first leg Real Madrid will play at home, well every team must be able to take advantage of this opportunity, I mean playing at home.

[budi691]

Once again we will focus on the match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City, we consider this match to be the final match which took place in the quarter-finals, yes this is a too early final. Previously, we were very excited to wait for them to face each other in the final match, but that can't happen again, because again and again they have to face each other in the quarter-finals, this is the same as last season. Last season Manchester City beat Real Madrid, will Real Madrid get their revenge this season? something that has been eagerly awaited.
I will not doubt that this match will be very interesting, the competitive atmosphere will be hot because one team is the team that has won the most titles, while the other team is the team that has the status of defending champion. If you look at the odds given by the bookie, Manchester City appears as the favorite to advance to the next round, but you also need to remember that the team they will face is a team that has a very strong mentality, and they already felt that when they had to make a comeback. by Real Madrid in the previous 2 seasons.

Yes, you could say that the premature final of this season's Champions League is between Real Madrid vs Manchester City, they should meet in the top match, but the lottery results different , they will meet in the quarter-finals.
Both teams have coaches who are rich in strategies in putting together teams and both teams are in good condition so the meeting between the two teams will be very interesting.
Real Madrid, with the most Champions League titles, certainly doesn't want to fail a second time when it was defeated by Manchester City in the quarter-finals. Real Madrid is full of experience in the Champions League, with great coaches and players. Real Madrid definitely doesn't want to fail again.
but Manchester City, with the defending champion title, definitely wants to defend it, coach Pep Guardiola wants to make history with the first English team to defend the Champions League title.

For me it is a game of chance, it is 50-50, either of them can win it and progress to the next round, but it all depends on the team that is capable of creating and also converting these chances, they are both playing well in their domestic leagues respectively so I don't think anyone of them is inferior to the other or superior, all I see is a very interesting yet fierce contest between two of Europe's finest elite clubs, perhaps the winner of this tie may turn out to be the winner of this year's edition. And I also want to emphasize that it won't be easier for Manchester city as it was for them last season when both clubs met in the semi final stage.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are two top teams who have almost the same strength, so if someone favors one of them, it cannot be separated from the different point of view seen, but overall the percentage of the two teams to get to the semifinals this season is still quite the same.
In the Champions League, not only will teams compete in strength but teams will also compete in mentality and Manchester City and Real Madrid are the two best European teams at the moment who definitely have both of these.

Yes, Real Madrid played quite badly in that match, even though they were playing at home. Leipzig even has better shot attempts and shots on target than Real Madrid. So I think if Real Madrid continues to play like that, then they will only fall prey to Man City. Man City indeed has a performance that is not as impressive as last season but that was more than enough to just beat Real Madrid.

It doesn't seem fair if we only look at what happened in one match, we have to look at the strength of the team as a whole and in my opinion even the Champions League also influences what happened with the team in the past so that will be a reference material for what's happening right now.
It's realistic to see that the strengths of Real Madrid and Manchester City are quite equal now, so both have the same opportunity to beat each other.

[TelolettOm]

Me too. I was hoping and praying that Madrid would face City in the final, but the game started earlier. It will be heartbreaking to see one of them eliminated in this round.

All people wants to see Real Madrid and Man City in the final, they don't want to see these teams fight one another too early. Unfortunately, Man City vs Real Madrid can't be avoided, it is the result of the drawing for the next round. The fans of each team must expect their favorite team to go to the next round, I favor Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-final. 

Manchester City hopes to win the UCL trophy again this season after doing so last season. The suqad used by city is different compared to the last season but they are still having good capability like last season's squad.

It is a prediction of most people. Man City is still the most favorite team to win the trophy because they still have a very strong squad. However, there is something change with this team, they don't have a strong midfield anymore. Man City only has a strong attacking line, they have a weakness in the midfield and defense line.

Manchester City will be able to beat Madrid. The club must have replicated Real Madrid's defeat at the hands of City, who scored five times against madrid last seasons. The same momentum will occur again soon. Kyle Walker is prepared to stop Vini from scoring in the upcoming game.
The only issue is that Vini puts in all of his effort to create the long shoot. City frequently conceded goals from him through long shots from outside the penalty box. This is the most important thing Manchester City must anticipate to ensure Vini has no space to take long shots against the city.

Real Madrid also can beat Man City. Although there is no great striker, Real Madrid has Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham who can play very productive during this season. These players already scored many goals for Real Madrid. Brahim Diaz is also in a good form now, this player can be an alternative player on the attacking line as well. Meanwhile for the midfield line, Real Madrid has many options. Real Madrid only has limited options on the defense line. But it seems Militao, Alaba, and Courtois will return soon. So Ancelotti won't have a problem with the squad anymore. With this condition, I'm sure Real Madrid isn't impossible to beat Man City. Ancelotti won't repeat his mistake again.

It is clear that Vinicius isn't the only player that Man City defenders must anticipate. Those players I stated above, are also capable to make a difference in the match.

[Palakka]

It doesn't seem fair if we only look at what happened in one match, we have to look at the strength of the team as a whole and in my opinion even the Champions League also influences what happened with the team in the past so that will be a reference material for what's happening right now.
It's realistic to see that the strengths of Real Madrid and Manchester City are quite equal now, so both have the same opportunity to beat each other.

Both teams I think have a fairly balanced performance so far so it is very difficult for us to guess who will win the game later, but in terms of experience of course Madrid can be more favourites to win the game later, I personally will not underestimate Manchester City even though they have just suffered a defeat in the domestic league,  Likewise, Madrid may not have played well against Leipzig in the round of 16 and of course they have now risen and will most likely prepare the team to be better before the first leg of the Champions League begins.

Both teams have now entered the quarterfinals and certainly both teams will not repeat the mistakes that may have occurred in the previous match so that they will fail to reach the next round later, the match between Manchester City and Madrid is like a final and certainly both teams will focus their attention on the match so we can be sure both will play all out and minimize mistakes that might be Causing defeat for them later, I am quite sure the match between Manchester City and Madrid will give us an exciting spectacle as happened in the Champions League semi-finals in 2022/23.

[wiss19]

I'm not a fan of Bayern Munich but I have to say that I don't see Bayern Munich performing badly at the moment even though they experienced a bad situation, but believe me, Munich has improved its performance quality again.
we can see in several matches in the domestic league that Munich is able to score big scores whereas previously they always lost against weaker teams and the result of the last match against Lazio was a special performance.
I'm not saying Arsenal is bad or doesn't have a good performance this season, but actually it's not Bayern Munich that will have difficulties in the next match, but Arsenal will have difficulties against Bayern Munich because in terms of quality of performance, both teams are far superior to Bayern Munich.

simple question we have to understand is, when was the last time Arsenal won a UCL title? or maybe never at all.
we definitely know the answer and that's the reason I say Bayern Munich will easily get rid of Arsenal because in terms of experience Bayern Munich is also more experienced and the arrival of Kane in the attack line makes Munich even more fierce.

I agree, they are no longer as bad, but they had a bad "period". For a while there, they lost too many games in a row, and that resulted with them being bad at league. It was the period where they lost to lazio, lost to leverkusen, tied with freiburg and all, lost to Bochum as well. When you combine all of this in the same span then suddenly it looks like it's a bad period and that becomes the problem in the end. I feel like there should be something that they should care about.

I believe that we should not really consider what we are doing right now in this sense, we should consider that Bayern already did what they shouldn't and after this then it doesn't matter if they win 8-1 all their league games, nothing will change.

[hahay]

Once again we will focus on the match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City, we consider this match to be the final match which took place in the quarter-finals, yes this is a too early final. Previously, we were very excited to wait for them to face each other in the final match, but that can't happen again, because again and again they have to face each other in the quarter-finals, this is the same as last season.

Real Madrid is doing well in this season to get to where they are today because they performed well to beat many teams to be a good position to face Manchester city and, if care is not taking they will make Manchester city not to score a single goal from this game because they know how to eliminate Manchester city in the UEFA champions quarter final which they can still make it happen in this season.

 

I will not doubt that this match will be very interesting, the competitive atmosphere will be hot because one team is the team that has won the most titles, while the other team is the team that has the status of defending champion. If you look at the odds given by the bookie, Manchester City appears as the favorite to advance to the next round, but you also need to remember that the team they will face is a team that has a very strong mentality, and they already felt that when they had to make a comeback. by Real Madrid in the previous 2 seasons.

It will be a tough game in this quarter final but Real Madrid will not give up easily to Manchester city despite they are strong team in this UEFA champions league, but their coach has prepared them on how to play the game to ensure they lead the game till the end.

However, if they play in the final then it feels like normal moment because yes, it is normal moment for example if Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the final. But yes, right now, what is really interesting is because they playing in the quarterfinals and of course, their meeting in the quarterfinals was very unexpected but they had to do it anyway. So, there will be one less title candidate team at this season because yes, Real Madrid or Manchester City this season can only reach the quarter-finals, of course Real Madrid and Manchester City will do their best effort because they both have the above qualities average, making it difficult to predict which of them will advance to the semifinals.

[Antotena]

If it is not an exaggeration to say so, the match between Manchester City versus Real Madrid is the most difficult match to predict, many bettors will be confused about who will come out on top. Both teams are very optimistic about being able to beat each other, of course because both teams have all the attributes needed, and their mentality is also very good. The head to head record of the two teams will not have much influence on the upcoming match, which in my opinion is the completeness of the squad which is more important and more decisive.

Before the Quarter Final was draw, Manchester City and Real Madrid were supposed to met but after the draw, nothing change between these two team which made me to believe that Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two most brave team in this league, there is no it will be palatable for the two to be opposite but they used Barcelona and PSG to calm the situation but I have more confidence in Manchester City to eliminate Real Madrid but they wouldn't be the team to win the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola is lucky because currently all the players in his squad are fully available without any injuries, while Ancelotti is still missing Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Joselu. On the other hand, Manchester City has a larger number of matches scheduled, in which they have to face Arsenal, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace first before facing Real Madrid. In this case, Real Madrid only has one match versus Atletic Bilbao, of course preparation time and fatigue will be other challenges that Pep Guardiola must face.

I don't think Manchester City are the only club out of this, even Real Madrid has a complete squad, the PSG has a complete men, Barcelona has a most completed team and so is Arsenal but if you say that Manchester City has the most well structured team that can finish any team then I will say they have it and they have what it takes to finished the Champions League, that's the difference between them and the rest of the teams.

I'm a Real Madrid fan and that's why I'm happy to see that we were drawn against Manchester City in the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League competition and I'll state my reason. Last two seasons, Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City in the semi finals of the competition and it was done in the most exciting fashion as Real Madrid came from two goals down at the Santiago Bernabeu to complete a comeback that saw them reach the final ahead of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. Then last season, Manchester City revenged that elimination of last two seasons to oust Real Madrid from the competition and they embarrassed Real Madrid in the second leg of that game. The result of that game actually left a deep pain in me and many other Real Madrid fans across the globe. I think this is the right time to pay them back with their coins because right now, Real Madrid is a way better than they were last season. During the summer transfer window, Real Madrid management signed few important and quality footballers to the team and their presence have significantly improved the team so I believe that they can match Manchester City in any way and I believe they will eliminate Manchester City this time

[Republikcoin.com]

That's right. Many people's hopes were that the two teams should meet in the final but unfortunately these two great teams had to meet in the quarter-finals, this was like a premature UCL league final.

But I agree with you. Even though last season Real Madrid was humiliated by Man City, this is not the case because now Real Madrid is better and stronger. It is proven that currently Real Madrid is still at the top of the Laliga standings. Additionally, with the arrival of Jude and several other players, the Real Madrid squad is almost complete compared to last season. So my prediction is that Real Madrid this season will definitely be able to eliminate the defending champion (Man City) from the UCL league competition.

Hopefully this can happen so that Real Madrid can get a little smoother in getting to the Champions League final this season, but Real Madrid must also be aware that Manchester City is still quite strong this season. So Real Madrid must be able to use all their abilities in the quarter-final match in order to get rid of the defending champions, because on the one hand Manchester City also know that Real Madrid will probably respond to them in the quarter-final match in order to advance to the final.

I'm not saying Arsenal is bad or doesn't have a good performance this season, but actually it's not Bayern Munich that will have difficulties in the next match, but Arsenal will have difficulties against Bayern Munich because in terms of quality of performance, both teams are far superior to Bayern Munich.

simple question we have to understand is, when was the last time Arsenal won a UCL title? or maybe never at all.
we definitely know the answer and that's the reason I say Bayern Munich will easily get rid of Arsenal because in terms of experience Bayern Munich is also more experienced and the arrival of Kane in the attack line makes Munich even more fierce.

Bayern struggle is over in the Bundesliga, because Leverkusen is still very consistent. Now Tuchel fleet will focus on the Champions League, trying as hard as they can to win the trophy even though their chances are very low. Who knows, they might be lucky by showing a different appearance, and it must be admitted that they have the bargaining power to be able to create a surprise.

Tuchel has experience in the Champions League, he has already won it with Chelsea. With the depth of the squad they have, there is a possibility they can advance to the final, and get out of their bad period completely. But we'll see if Bayern can beat Arsenal, or they will be knocked out by Arteta team later.

Bayern experienced a series of bad results in three competitions, causing their status to change drastically, where previously many put them on a par with Man City and Madrid. On the other hand, I think all teams will definitely be faced with situations of ups and downs in performance, this season Bayern experienced this, and they are still lucky not to have fallen far in the Bundesliga.

However, if they play in the final then it feels like normal moment because yes, it is normal moment for example if Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the final. But yes, right now, what is really interesting is because they playing in the quarterfinals and of course, their meeting in the quarterfinals was very unexpected but they had to do it anyway.

The unexpected meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the quarter-finals adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the competition. The outcome of this matchup will reduce the pool of title contenders, because this matchup lies in the fact that one of the tournament favorites will be eliminated at an earlier stage than anticipated. this intensifies the competition and raises the stakes for both teams. Both teams have arguably the best and strongest squads that makes their clash in the quarter-finals a highly anticipated event.

The fact that the two teams are the UCL Champions in last two seasons makes it difficult to predict which team will emerge victorious and progress to the semifinals. Both teams have demonstrated their ability to overcome formidable opponents and deliver under pressure. Mentality will become a significant factor to determine how the game will go and the result will be. Their clash will captivate fans worldwide and showcase the highest level of competition on the continental stage.

Hopefully this can happen so that Real Madrid can get a little smoother in getting to the Champions League final this season, but Real Madrid must also be aware that Manchester City is still quite strong this season. So Real Madrid must be able to use all their abilities in the quarter-final match in order to get rid of the defending champions, because on the one hand Manchester City also know that Real Madrid will probably respond to them in the quarter-final match in order to advance to the final.

Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola meets again in the UEFA Champions League, who's exiting with his team and who's making bold step to enter the semifinals? Perhaps there's still time to exhibits our predictions on the team's. Real Madrid vs Manchester City in the UCL quarter-finals. This is probably one of the tough fixtures in the UEFA Champions League this season. Both team are elite sides and they're not going to relent and watch other sides easily grabbed winning points. Real Madrid have advantage in the first leg, they're the hosts and welcoming the Citizens at Santiago Bernabéu in the first leg.

I'm just short of words because describing this game is definitely on another level. Real Madrid will not underestimate Manchester City, definitely not this time because City thrashed Real Madrid 4 nil in their last meetings, meaning huge dissapointement for Los Blancos and they seeks for revenge this time around. Real Madrid leads with upper hand this season because they have set in place quality performance and leading first on the table.

[baeva]

Bayern in the Champions League as a rule never spared their opponents and dealt with them harshly without hesitation, but this season for Bayern is really quite average, both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. They look ok overall though, I don't know, it's like that tough core they've lost

There are clubs that have belted up this season and are striving for important results and growth, they don't stop from conquering their opponents. My favorite team didn't qualify for the UCL tournament, making my interest slim but I'm not laying out because of the full attention I'm giving. This season is different from the rest. The fixtures are tougher and more calculative than the normal ones.

The core objectives of every club that have made it to this very phase is reaching the UCL grand finale. I've never experienced important runs from elite team until this season, it comes with whooping shockings. The UEFA Champions League is a top one and only the best team comes with outstanding results. Arsenal vs Bayern Munich in the UCL quarter finals. This is the most interesting and challenging quarter draw to predict because Gunners are in form while Bayern Munich are slightly experiencing small issues.

In fact, the same can be said for the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match. Both teams are on top of their game, both teams don't seem to have any problems and in general it's a match of the final level, but again we won't be watching it in the final. Predicting such a match is also difficult too, but by feeling Manchester City is stronger. Real almost went out last round, that's the only thing that scares me.

[Jegileman]

But I agree with you. Even though last season Real Madrid was humiliated by Man City, this is not the case because now Real Madrid is better and stronger. It is proven that currently Real Madrid is still at the top of the Laliga standings. Additionally, with the arrival of Jude and several other players, the Real Madrid squad is almost complete compared to last season. So my prediction is that Real Madrid this season will definitely be able to eliminate the defending champion (Man City) from the UCL league competition.

I am not going to underestimate any of this teams and I would not also chose one team over the other as the favourite for this clash. After the draws of the quarterfinals was released, the both coaches statement send a very vital view on their respective opinions of the game. It is just obvious that everyone of them are scared of each other and every one of them are looking to win the game and qualify for the next round. Both team are still strong in their respective competitions and that can’t be overlooked as far as this match is concerned. The better team will definitely win, but with the performance exhibited by both teams, it is hard to single handy chose one team over the other in this match.

Arsenal have real improved on how they play and you can see that in the league also as theyre still on top of the table with bery high goal difference. This match will be quite difficult but I still believe they can be able to do some magic at the Emirate to give them a boost before they head to Germany for the return leg. Even if they’ll be eliminated, I don’t think the humiliation will be as much as the past. The Barcelona VS PSG is another key match and I’m strongly believing PSG will be able to have the edge against this Barca side this time. Psg are seeking to achieving something this season and I wouldn’t be surprised seeing them in the finals again.

Arsenal of this season is different from the Arsenal we saw participating in the champions league some years back which since then they’re just returning back to the UCL competition. Arsenal have come this far in the champions league competition and this is another good sign of a strong team to come this far in their first trials in the champions league competition. Arsenal would give Bayern Munich a tough time, but winning them is not what is certain yet until when played.
For the Barcelona and PSG match, I would love to see PSG go as far as the finals too but with the many signs now, I doubt so. Hopefully if they can get there, they should try and win the Champions League trophy this time around. It has been a long time chasing after it now.

Hopefully this can happen so that Real Madrid can get a little smoother in getting to the Champions League final this season, but Real Madrid must also be aware that Manchester City is still quite strong this season. So Real Madrid must be able to use all their abilities in the quarter-final match in order to get rid of the defending champions, because on the one hand Manchester City also know that Real Madrid will probably respond to them in the quarter-final match in order to advance to the final.

I don't expect Real Madrid to return to the final and win the title, that would make their fans more arrogant and disrespectful to other teams. Manchester City must beat Real Madrid regardless of whether they can qualify for the final and defend their title, that is something that must be done so that the Champions League becomes very competitive between each team.

Real Madrid is of course known for its great history as the king of the Champions League title. It has made the average fan arrogant and booing other teams' fans all the time, so something has to change and any team including Manchester City should be able to stop them again this season.

You don't want Real Madrid to win and qualify for the next round don't mean they'll not win it. And you'll be vexed when you see them moving to the next round. Lol.
Real Madrid fans are not arrogant nor disrespectful. It's not boasting if you can back it up right? I'm more worried about the tactical approach of Carlo Ancellotti lately, has he not been too defensive? Manchester City and Real Madrid are both top sides whoever progresses must have to up his or her game.

I say it again, it's not bragging if you can back it up, and Real Madrid has indeed earned all of the Champions League Competition won over the Years.
