UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

I think if Real Madrid has the good performance we saw from them against Manchester Cityagaginst other teams like Bayern Munich, they can easily beat Bayern Munich because compared to Manchester City, Bayern Munich is not a strong team, especially after losing the Bundesliga title to Leverkusen.

Real Madrid is the king in the Champions League, of course every team that faces Real Madrid certainly feels nervous about beating Real Madrid. The impressive performance displayed by Real Madrid in the second leg against Manchester City has shown that Real Madrid really has the ambition to become champions this season.

I estimate that Bayern Munich game this season will be very difficult to predict because in the Bundesliga they can be beaten by low ranked teams so the match against Real Madrid will be difficult to predict their game.

It's just that after Real Madrid beat Manchester City, Real Madrid was already a strong candidate to win the UCL trophy. Real Madrid has Bellingham who is very productive in helping Real Madrid beat their opponents so Bellingham performance this season is very big for Real Madrid progress.

Even though many people say that Real Madrid won and qualified for the semifinals based on luck, in my opinion, it's not just relying on luck, Anceloti has smart tactics, he knows that if Real Madrid doesn't get a draw, Man City will take advantage of the situation by playing at home as winners, so from Madrid kept its defense tight, making it difficult for Man City to score goals, even though Man City took many shots but only 1 of them was scored as a goal.

After the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, he was asked how he feel about todays match and his answer was "that's the only way to win the game" which implies that in other to win Manchester City at Etihad, you must be quick to make goals from the beginning of the match and then quickly switch to defensive style including the center forward, they defended for the rest of the minutes after Rodrigo gave them first goal in the 12 minutes of the game, that lame excuse for people calling this a luck.

Literally, the best way to win a strong side that has almost same strength with you is to take early advantage and go for defensive play and that was what Real Madrid did because had it been they attacked Manchester city more after they were ahead of them they would have given them opportunity to equalize before halftime but knowing fully well that Manchester city is a team that attacks more than defend they immediately switch the play after scoring early goal against Manchester City but there is one thing i always talk about in football, when a match enters penalty shootout, any of the sides can win because penalty shootouts are always accompanied with lucks.

Another thing that made Real Madrid to emerge victorious is that they are very conversant with the champions league and have won it on several occasions so they literally know how to make sure they make their way to the finals and that was exactly their plan and it is most likely to work for them because it's very obvious that Bayern Munich can't withstand the pressure of Real Madrid in the semi finals and many football analysts and speculators were tipping the winner between Manchester city and Real Madrid to be the winner of the champions league so it's almost certain that Real Madrid is at the verge of winning another Champions league to the ones they already have.

It was not the first time Ancelotti defeated a strong team like Man City. Ancelotti have proven that he is a great coach, specifically for UCL competition. He already won UCL titles 4 times, 2 trophies with AC Milan and 2 trophies with Real Madrid. Ancelotti surely knows well how to beat any team in UCL, he is an experienced and smart coach. So, I think it is not really surprising if Ancelotti could beat Guardiola.

Even if Real Madrid could beat Man City, they don't underestimate Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is also a strong team that has great records in UCL. Real Madrid surely can defeat them but Ancelotti must be careful with a surprise made by Tuchel with Bayern Munich. Although I am not sure that Tuchel can surprise us, but Ancelotti must prepare anything to deal with Tuchel's tactics.

Pep Gadudiola always makes a mistake when he is playing an important match, he use to use his substitution to sabotage himself in big games. Real Madrid and Manchester city are good teams and they gave us an entertaining game. Penalty should not be use to judge who is a better team because penalties are game of luck. Good teams that do not have good penalty takers will lose against a bad team that have good penalty takers. Real Madrid had alot of experience with their penalty takers and they use that to defeat Manchester city. Pep Gadudiola substitution also caused it and he is to be blame somehow because why will he substitute some players that can be very good at taking penalty. He was not thinking about a penalty shootout but wanted to win the game in regular time and this made him to substitute good penalty takers out of the game.

Happy when Madrid qualified for the Semifinals. I thought Madrid would fail but I was wrong. Madrid have made history, they were able to thwart Man City to the semi-finals. Last year they failed because of Man City. For now they are able to turn things around. I'm sure a lot of people who lose bet. But next they have to fight Munich, it's Anceloti's tough task. But I'm quite optimistic Madrid will qualify for the FInal. Because the toughest opponent I think is only Man City.

[Weawant]

Honestly, I don't also see any other teams in the competition as strong as Real Madrid anymore. It is Bayern Munich, I will say and they may be a strong opponent for Real Madrid, but they are not really in good form currently. Even from the way they performed against Arsenal, I will just say it was lucky that got them to this semi-final. But as for PSG, they're in good form, but I don't think their team is in good form like Real Madrid. So, as this Champions League competition is going now, the team that has the highest chance of winning the trophy is Real Madrid. They are in great form, and again, the team is the most experienced Champions League team

Well Bayern has not really been in good form and performance recently this season and this has also reflected in their performance both in the champions league a s in the bundesliga but i still don't doubt their abilities in the champions league because so far they have been able to prove that they are having a totally different spirit for the champions league which could mean that they will be ready to make sure they make the best off the champions league this season.

I believe it's very possible for them to get to the finals of the champions league, they have won more than one champions league trophy so they have the experience a s getting to this point for me it think it's enough drive for them to now want to get to dare to win the champions league this season, even PSG who would have been able to look like they will stop them to me isn't looking much in form enough as they have only struggled and we're lucky at some point in that Barcelona was actually a man down and thst was their advantage and they eventually got to the secure a ticket to the semi finals.

Most likely Real Madrid will still get to win the champions league this season after a Long time since they last lifted the champions league trophy and for them it's definitely going to be a delight but then it's most definitely not going to be an easy one for them because they have got other tough tea.s too who hasn't lifted the champions league trophy in a long time and will be willing to get the trophy soonest.

Madrid match against Bayern in the semifinals is actually just as difficult to predict, because Bayern is a team that is also very experienced in the Champions League. Tuchel fleet qualified for the simifinals by beating Arsenal who were in their best form, so Ancelotti really understands and certainly won't underestimate Bayern.

It must be admitted that beating City is much more difficult than beating Bayern this season, which is why I think Madrid has a big chance of reaching the final. Los Blancos ambition to win the Champions League trophy is no longer in doubt, that is their goal in building a squad containing star players. The match between Madrid versus Bayern also deserves to be called a mini final, like their previous match against City.

Madrid chances of winning the Champions League trophy have indeed increased after successfully eliminating City, and their next journey feels easier because there is no longer a team that has the strength like City. I think this season final will pit Madrid against PSG, but that's just an assumption and it's possible that the scenario can be that plays out in the future will be very different.

It was a night when Bayern Munich lived up to their assertions that, when the Champions League comes around, they were an altogether different beast. Bayern Munich were into the final four of the Champions League with Joshua Kimmich's second-half header after winning 1-0 against Arsenal, giving them a 3-2 aggregate victory. Arsenal's European dream is over - and the Gunners' focus is back on the Premier League.

While Bayern Munich may not be doing well in their own league, they are doing well in the Champions League so far. Where everyone predicted that Arsenal would easily win against Munich and secure the next round, Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal and Munich secured the semi-finals. Although Bayan Munich can overcome the barrier of the quarter-finals, it may not be easy for Bayern Munich to overcome the barrier of the semi-finals because they have Real Madrid as their opponents in the semi-finals. Real Madrid defeated Manchester City in the quarter-finals and then qualified for the semi-finals, so the favorites so far this season are Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are likely to lose to Real Madrid.

[rendravolt]

Having good performance in the domestic league will not guarantee good progress in the Champions League and that is what Arsenal is currently feeling. They were quite promising when they managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw in the first leg, but what happened in the second leg when they faced Bayern Munich fans, the Gunners were unable to do anything. Practically, Bayern Munich can win with certainty and even though it is only by 1 goal, that is enough to make Arsenal despair.

Another surprising thing is that Bayern Munich under Tuchel's guidance this season has been so bad and strangely Arsenal still can't beat them. However, if we talk about history and winning mentality, of course Bayern Munich still won a landslide victory over Arsenal. Well, I can't wait to see Bayern Munich who will face Real Madrid in the semifinals and it will be a match that will be missed after approximately 6 years of the two teams never facing each other again.

Bayern Munich is playing at home and in terms of strength they are quite equal to Arsenal so I think Bayern Munich's victory and progress to the semifinals is quite natural because mentally they are much better than Arsenal.

What happens in the domestic league will of course be a little different from in the Champions League, especially when facing teams from different leagues, of course there are many differences so that what happens in the domestic league cannot be used as a benchmark, and in fact Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga is not too bad they just can't maintain consistent performance and if we look at strength I think Bayern Munich this season is quite strong.
The semi-final match between Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid will continue to be fierce as has happened in the past, these two teams have a rivalry in the Champions League and I don't see Bayern Munich's decline in the Bundesliga anymore because of course after failing to defend the Bundesliga title that motivates Bayern Munich much bigger to win the Champions League title this season.

Mentally speaking, of course Bayern Munich won everything over Arsenal and we know that it can't be changed even if Arsenal uses all their strength. Bayern Munich is one of the greatest teams in the history of the Champions League and they have proven that they still deserve to be in the higher stages of this competition. The German team always has a mentality that is difficult to understand and the proof is that apart from Bayern Munich later, Dortmund also advanced to the semifinals against PSG.

That's how, as you said, it all depends on the mentality of each team in different competitions and Arsenal doesn't have that in the Champions League and therefore they are knocked out very easily. Against Real Madrid is something that Bayern Munich can be proud of and vice versa, Real Madrid also welcomes opponents who have become rivals for them in this competition. Let's see, with poor luck in the domestic league, is it possible for Bayern Munich to win the Champions League title? But first they have to get past Real Madrid, who managed to repatriate the defending champions last season.

[klidex]

I am even very confident that Real Madrid will beat Munich and become UCL champions this season. After successfully beating City, I think the strongest candidate to become UCL champions is only Real Madrid. Fans often say that City and Madrid are the 2 strongest teams in the UCL this season. Maybe even fans of other clubs will also choose one of them. And last night Real Madrid managed to beat City. This means that Real Madrid really deserves to be champion. Munich has a winning mentality but Madrid has a winning mentality and a solid mentality. I think that will be the difference between the two teams and I also predict Madrid will win the semifinal match.

I also predict the same thing as you. As a Real Madrid fan, I also really support Real Madrid to be able to get the treble winner title this season. 2 titles has be secured by Real Madrid and now only the Champions League title is in sight and only 3 matches left Champions League and Real Madrid will win this prestigious title again. Hopefully Real Madrid will be able to beat Bayern Munich in the semifinals. There is no doubt for me about Real Madrid's strength because currently Real Madrid is in its best condition, while Bayern Munich will likely have difficulty facing that the best European club, even Manchester City were unable to stop Real Madrid in the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are indeed the strongest candidates to win the Champions League title. If Manchester City has been eliminated, that means there is only 1 strongest candidate, namely Real Madrid, although Bayern Munich is also a favorite, especially for its fans, but in my opinion, it is not as strong as Real Madrid, which is always the favorite in the League Champions, Real Madrid has a very strong winning mentality, whether in the domestic league or the Champions League, so it is possible that Real Madrid will win it.

I think there is no need to overreact to Bayern Munich's victory against Arsenal because in my opinion it is a natural thing, firstly because Arsenal and Bayern Munich have fairly equal strengths and the two Arsenal teams do not have a strong mentality to be able to compete fiercely on the Champions League stage so The victory achieved by Bayern Munich is quite natural.

Bayern Munich did not perform well in the Bundesliga, but we also have to see overall that the strength of the Bayern Munich team this season is still quite strong, it's just that they were unable to maintain consistency so they failed to defend the Bundesliga title.

For the semifinal match against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich actually still has a chance to win because Bayern Munich is a team that has a high mentality on the CL stage and also Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have had a rivalry for a long time and the records of the two teams are quite balanced in the past so the strength of both It's quite balanced now, although at least Real Madrid is a bit of a favorite because of Bayern Munich's slump in the Bundesliga, but I don't think that's a reference for Bayern Munich.

[QueenVera]

Historically true, but who knows if a miracle can happen here since real madrid is the only strong club in UCL, given that Real Madrid is also up against such strong competition in the upcoming game since it's gonna face bayern which is equal to the real madrid like when it faced city. Bayern will be the next obstacle for Real Madrid to get its 15th UCL trophies. The only problem is that we are in UCL, and any surprise can happen at any time, which would be disastrous if Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich caused by bayern munich was not in good condition this time. it must be noted that if munich was bottle jobs on bundesliga current season.
Madrid has a much stronger mentality than the other club which is guaranteeing the club to play better. This is why this club has won the majority of UCL trophies compared to the other club. The upcoming game against Bayern Munich will be another difficult game for Madrid. Bayern appears to be in poor form, but they are still capable of reaching the semi-finals.

I wouldn't call it luck because Bayern has consistently defeated its opponents since the group stage and it's still stable till this time. I hope tuchel will not be fired if he can help Bayern Munich win the Champions League like what he did to the chelsea a few years ago. He has only ever done it on Chelsea and he needs a half of season to make it happen. This is why Madrid should always be cautious about it caused by tuchel probably knew how to counter it.
I believe Ancelotti was totally aware of Chelsea's victory over Madrid a few years ago. Ancellotti may put more awareness to how to avoid repeat the same mistake. There haven't been many changes to the real Madrid composition. This could be a key to Tuchel's success against Madrid in the upcoming game and he may also able to leave from the big pressure after bayern will get a win against madrid.

It's obvious that I'll watch this match rather than the one between Dortmund and PSG.

We are headed to the semi finals of the UCL and we already have 4 tough teams who’ll battle it to be at Wembley come June 1st, 2024. Yes amongst these 4 teams there’s a favorite already who’s in the mind of every football lover especially after they were able to overcome their fellow heavyweight across Europe in the Quater finals.

 ⁠The match between Real Madrid and Bayern will be to most viewed match in this stage of the UCL because mot much surprises are expected from the PSG vs Dortmund game as compared to this. The UCL is never short of surprises and who knows the surprise could be Bayern being able to go past Real Madrid to the finals.

 ⁠As funny as it may activate sound, it could actually happen especially when you consider the favt that this Bayern team haven’t been the best yet they still try to win. This alone shows hunger and determination especially as this is the only cup they are still on course to win.

 ⁠You can’t also underestimate Tuchel because he’s one coach that’s able to get the victory especially with a shaky Chelsea side in the ucl final. Though we trust Ancelotti to be able to bring down this bayern team especially as they don’t seem to be in the best of their form.

The UCL is never short of surprises and who knows the surprise could be Bayern being able to go past Real Madrid to the finals.

in the UCL competition it is full of unexpected surprises and it is difficult for us to predict the results, but from the performance we saw previously we can compare that no matter how strong Bayern Munich is at the moment, the team is still having difficulty keeping its defense strong and this has been proven in domestic matches. and in the UCL, they still often concede even though they have Kane as a scorer, but Madrid is able to know Bayern Munich weaknesses and it is difficult to beat Real Madrid, even though Madrid currently has a very strong defense.

and for the PSG vs Dortmund match, PSG actually needs more luck to qualify for the final round even though Dortmund is not very strong but the team has a stable performance even though they are not favorites at the moment but Dortmund could beat PSG.
but I'm sure everyone hopes that PSG will qualify for the final round to see an interesting match and also see Enrique pride in being able to qualify for the final round.


looking at the odds, PSG is actually the second favorite after Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is the third favorite after PSG, which is only a very narrow difference.

I think if Real Madrid has the good performance we saw from them against Manchester Cityagaginst other teams like Bayern Munich, they can easily beat Bayern Munich because compared to Manchester City, Bayern Munich is not a strong team, especially after losing the Bundesliga title to Leverkusen.

Ordinary people in the world of football only see Man City controlling the match. In fact, what actually happened was that Real Madrid controlled the game even without possession of the ball, allowing the opponents to play around, but they remained calm with their mentality and quality. Ancelotti's strategy is truly genius, he only relies on the individual skills of each player.

Indeed, Man City's game was very beautiful in Pep's hands. Just like he coached Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Even though those who are recorded in history are still winners, it is not about the beauty of the game. This is very different from Ancelotti, despite the monotonous opinion that football is about winning. Ancelotti really knows what to do if he meets Pep Guardiola. When you face it, if you play openly, you will lose badly. Counter-attack strategy and defensive discipline are the best ways to deal with Pep Guardiola's beauty. So it is not surprising that Ancelotti is successful with Real Madrid at this time.

Bayern Munich is currently not too strong compared to previous seasons, but they have a mentality and great players so Real Madrid still has to view them as a tough opponent who should not be underestimated. However, I believe in the myth in the UCL that if the team is able to beat the defending champion then it will be the one who gets the UCL trophy. So I believe Real Madrid can beat Bayern Munich in the semifinals.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

looking at the odds, PSG is actually the second favorite after Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is the third favorite after PSG, which is only a very narrow difference.

Yeah just pay attention to this one and I was quite surprised to see Bayern Munich in position 3 they prefer PSG in second place, for Real Madrid they deserve to be first place besides having more experience they also beat the favorite team but still there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will win it who knows Dortmund surprisingly defeated all teams  By the way after seeing some surprises in the last match now we cannot underestimate any team we really don't know what will happen in 90+ minutes, Dortmund is one example of how they can reach the semi -finals whereas before we knew that Dortmund was in the hell group and they finished it as group winner. On the other hand PSG is finished in second place in Group F and now they are the 2nd favorite team.

Ancelotti was expecting for Manchester City to play much stronger at Etihad so he went for a smarter game plan. Most people didn't like the game plan he adopted for this match as it made the match more boring until the penalty shootouts. I found it also boring to tell the truth but he had to do this. Otherwise there was no way Real Madrid getting past them.  

Ancelotti read his opponent very nicely and went for a patient understanding of play. If they didn't show a good defending performance then it wouldn't make sense to maintain this game plan. However against Bayern Munich I don't expect to see the same Real Madrid. I think they will play more attacking in both legs to eliminate Bayern Munich.  

Bayern Munich are no Manchester City as we saw it against Arsenal in the previous stage.

Otherwise there was no way Real Madrid getting past them.  

With big defeat at Etihad last season, Ancelotti knew that it is suicide to play attacking against Manchester City. They decided to let Real Madrid to play mainly counter attacking because at Etihad stadium, Manchester City have more pressure to find a winning in 90 minutes.

By a counter attack, Real Madrid scored a first goal and put Manchester City to a stressful situation. After all, going through massive pressure at Etihad and penalty shoot outs, Real Madrid won and will have two semi finals with Bayern Munich. I believe Ancelotti and Real Madrid learned a lot since a defeat last season and they did not let a first balancing match at Bernabeu affects their approach in the second leg match.

[naira]

It was not the first time Ancelotti defeated a strong team like Man City. Ancelotti have proven that he is a great coach, specifically for UCL competition. He already won UCL titles 4 times, 2 trophies with AC Milan and 2 trophies with Real Madrid. Ancelotti surely knows well how to beat any team in UCL, he is an experienced and smart coach. So, I think it is not really surprising if Ancelotti could beat Guardiola.

Even though Ancelotti is old and in terms of tactics he is not as modern as Pep Guardiola, in terms of experience, Ancelotti understands the opponent's game. Manchester City could not be beaten in a 90 minute game so Ancelotti targeted his players to defend and let Manchester City control the game as much as possible. The Manchester City players have a very poor penalty shootout mentality, while Madrid are used to doing that and have experience with European teams in the past. Therefore, we can see that Madrid players have calm when executing.

Interestingly, Ancelotti will now face Bayern Munich and is almost even mentally. As for the difference in terms of tactics, Tuchel had his own grudge against Ancelotti in the past when he was still coaching Chelsea.

However against Bayern Munich I don't expect to see the same Real Madrid. I think they will play more attacking in both legs to eliminate Bayern Munich.  

Bayern Munich are no Manchester City as we saw it against Arsenal in the previous stage. 

You are actually right bro, before that quarter finals encounter between Manchester city and Real madrid, I made it very clear in my statement that this is a match that would be decided by the tactical impetus of both coaches, because they both have the squad good enough to deliver the goods, but what will definitely separate them is the ability of the coaches tactically on that day, and of a truth, if real madrid had came out and decided to go toe too toe with Manchester city, they would have lost the game without a doubt, because they are actually not on the same level with Manchester city when it comes to retaintion or possession of the ball, but it was actually a smart move by carlo ancelotti, so as to stay in the game and hit them on the break, which actually paid off at the very end.

Lastly, Just you have rightfully said, the approach of real madrid against Bayern Munich will definitely be a lot different compared to the Manchester city game, due to many factors like Bayern Munich not being in the very best of form and the lack of confidence in the Bayern Munich team right now, so I believe that real madrid will be more open in their attacking play than they were against Manchester city, but it's actually going to be disastrous for them, if they ever think Bayern Munich game is going to be an easy game, because Bayern Munich will definitely not going to be an easy opponent to any team world wide regardless of their present form.

[Gencecikmen]

After a 1-1 draw on the night that left the teams tied 4-4 on aggregate. Real Madrid advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League after beating Manchester City 4-3 on penalties at Etihad Stadium. City's Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic both misfired in the shootout. Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in semi-finals. Madrid, who have hoisted the Champions League trophy a record 14 times, will do best to win for the 15th time.
