UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Obari]

I don't think Manchester City will give up because their opponent is Real Madrid in the last 16 play-offs. It's about the game and there is also luck in it.
If that's the case, I think it's too early to judge something. Real Madrid can also be the opposite of Manchester City in the sense that a surprise could happen (Real Madrid fail).

Sometimes by facing Real Madrid, Manchester City's enthusiasm to be able to qualify for the play-offs is greater which makes them play not as many people think. There could be a possibility, right?

What are the possibilities of most of these favorite teams not reaching essential phases? I'm enjoying every moment of UCL football because it becomes easy and entertaining. Real Madrid and Manchester City managers are experienced and have been rivals for decades. Carlo Ancelotti will shake hands with Pep Guardiola this season, their meeting will be one of the most entertained and memorable in European football. This fixture is one of the toughest draw in the UEFA Champions League this season. Everyone was anticipating to see both sides clashed again and this time, who's taking three points? Each one of us have a vote and wager to place in UCL because the stats are gritty.

[Rruchi man]

Even on the side of Real Madrid, they are not in their prime as they also suffered in the champions league. I therefore do not think they'll have an easy ride this time again. This could actually be the time of Liverpool.

If Slot can actually rotate the players in the team properly and be lucky enough not to have injury problems, especially to the key players, Liverpool can possibly go on to win the Champions League with the way they are playing and with the way the fixture is looking to favor them. I know they lost their last game, but that was a fixture they could win if they really took the game seriously.

I am looking at my club play against Inter Milan; I think that is another game where experience will count, and Inter Milan has that experience better than Arsenal. No concrete news concerning a striker for Arsenal as well, so I imagine we are still going to miss many of the chances that we create.

Real Madrid dominance in the Champions league is because of their experience in handling high stakes-games like this and thus makes Real Madrid a formidable opponent team and challenge for other clubs to face in the competition, and Manchester City game isn't gonna be different, especially now that City is obviously bleeding, Vinicius Jr, Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe will never allow City to take a breath and will definitely bring them to bow,  when it comes Champions League, Madrid are well known for their good.

Ofcourse  the advantage  that Madrid has gotten in the Champions League has actually  been an advantage  for them all this while  and so they have been on the advantage  which they did use this long to get to this level, Manchester City will not actually  be a very strong opponent currently and so far they have been scheduled to play in the playoff in the Champions League and I believe Madrid is doing well in the Champions League to the point they have the chance to probably  try winning  the league again  this season.

But for the current conditions, it will actually be a little difficult to see who will win in this match because after all, seeing from the performance of the two clubs, there are actually a number of things that still have to be improved because there are still many gaps in terms of attack and defense, especially since they have also gone through critical phases in their respective leagues and of course the champions league which makes them now have to be faced in the play offs.

Now the performance of both clubs is in improvement to lead to a pretty good thing where Madrid's consistency in the middle of the season is increasingly maintained and for Mancechster City is currently still in the process of regaining its performance.

I personally hope Madrid can get a win in this match but it cannot be denied that this condition is difficult to believe especially since this is a big match so that mentality, club readiness and game schemes will be very influential in the end for the final result.

I am a fan of Madrid also and hope for the best results. I was a bit surprised when look both team meet on playoff, It's like the finals are too early. I just hope both team meet PSV or Brest, and meet in the semi-finals, but all has happened, I only hope Madrid can maintain their trophy for this session or at least be able to play at the next level. I admit, The city has begun to increase its performance after recruiting several players as the Defender. The city also added to their ammunition on front which make it harder to the squad to manage their improvement. Rodrygo has rediscovered its best performance, and appear to be in sync with Mbappe, This good development will be tested again, but of course it will be hard because the city's defense getting more solid.

Their escape to the playoffs is already showing how perseverance they can be in the fight of the champions league title which they feel it is their most precious asset to be won every year. As long as Real Madrid is yet to be eliminated from the champions league, they will have the same chance as other teams in winning the champions league trophy. Everyone can vouch for them on how good they can be in the champions league fight regardless of their overall form in the league.

This is a prestigious gift to them and I can’t for once see them as a team that can easily fall in the competition. They have all the potential in winning the trophy despite been in a bad condition for a very long time now, generally in the champions league and had to go for the playoffs. Real Madrid have to continue proving themselves to be the best in the competition, if they don’t, what they have the most in the face of others may not be expected to be the best of it and won’t be continued respected in that regard.

Real Madrid are like Manchester City, they are strong, especially Real Madrid with richest experience and most successful history in Champions League. Their appearance in Champions League is fear of any big club in this tournament, but surely they don't want to meet each other too early like this.

Even Real Madrid know of their quality and are confident about their capability to move far in Champions League, they never want to meet Manchester City too early like this. Anyway because they have champion insticnt, and believe in themselves, they are ready to beat Manchester City and move one more next step toward the title, another Champions League title in their club history.

This is a prestigious gift to them and I can’t for once see them as a team that can easily fall in the competition.

Real Madrid are improving after not good beginning in this season, and they already jumped to a first position in La Liga, with good advantage in points against second and third clubs. In Champions League, their comeback is a little late so they are not good enough to finish in top 8, and have to play playoff matches. It's unfortunate that they have to play against Manchester City in playoffs, but they can do it and move to a next stage. It's interesting to see that Real Madrid and Manchester City have another season, that is a fourth consecutive season, to face against each other in Champions League.

The Champions League schedule for the play-off round has been determined, I did not expect Real Madrid and Man City to meet in this play-off round which means we will not see one of them in the last 16 because only 1 can qualify for the next round, I think Real Madrid is more favored in this meeting because as we know Real Madrid has started to return to its best performance and their dominance in the UCL is unquestionable, although Man City is also starting to improve their performance little by little, but Man City is still not fully recovered.

Real Madrid vs Man City match is a great wait for me for the fans. I think City are one of the best teams in Europe and with the ammunition they are adding, it can be said that they are one of the best teams in Europe. Pep Guardiola is preparing extensively for his team members to set strategies on the other hand it is another challenge for Ancelotti. I will put the Madrid team ahead in terms of mentality and ability because of the mentality of the players to improve and the desire to win trophies in recent times. Madrid is a successful team in terms of previous experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League they have been successful in the last four seasons. If you focus on City's current season, their ability is quite questionable and coach Guardiola has faced a lot of criticism. Some of his decisions in using players at the right time are controversial. Madrid although in a somewhat negative form at the beginning of the season, have proven themselves to be very positive over time.

[Out of mind]

The Champions League schedule for the play-off round has been determined, I did not expect Real Madrid and Man City to meet in this play-off round which means we will not see one of them in the last 16 because only 1 can qualify for the next round, I think Real Madrid is more favored in this meeting because as we know Real Madrid has started to return to its best performance and their dominance in the UCL is unquestionable, although Man City is also starting to improve their performance little by little, but Man City is still not fully recovered.

Since each team has been determined in the quarter-finals, it will be interesting to see Real Madrid and Manchester City face off. If they are to qualify for the next round, both teams must play at their best, and Real Madrid is one of them. Their performance has improved a lot. However, since Manchester City has improved their performance a little but has not fully recovered, their fears are much less for the next round. However, I believe that Real Madrid is the favorite to win this match and they have a lot of experience in how to play in the Champions League. Since Real Madrid is going to face Manchester City in the UCL, the Madrid team will not play normally in this match but will come out strong.

Brest probably won't be able to repeat their achievement for next few season this because currently they still struggle in Ligue 1 and i am sure Brest will not playing at champion league for next season because the current position on Ligue 1 at 8th place but in his debut season playing in champion league i think Brest have done well this because during group phase Brest can gets 4 wins and only lost 3 times which i think they have good performance considering their status as mediocre team in this competition

Currently Brest can able to advances to the playoff stages but unfortunately for this stage Brest will gets hard opponent PSG i think the met between them and PSG is similar such as Ligue 1 match this because both teams have been met plenty on that competition but unfortunately Brest has poor record from PSG which i think the result of this match is predictable and certainly PSG will be able to overcome Brest and advances to the round of 16

That is a snapshot argument you are bringing up here. Actually Brest has won four out of their last five games in Ligue 1 while the teams ahead of them have lost plenty of points. It is a 6 points gap to Monaco, which is ranked 3rd and this is not an impossibility as you described it now. Considering that they have achieved a respectable result in the Champions League with a total of 13 points, I think this can give additional motivation across all the tournaments they are still part of. I wouldn't write them off too early this season. With some momentum that seems to be growing in their favor right now, a good result for this season in Ligue 1 is still reachable.

Considering that City finished the group stage quite low, I assumed that they could get a strong opponent, but I also did not expect that their opponent could be Real. The confrontation between these teams in the Champions League is already becoming symbolic, and for the third year in a row they all meet earlier, if the trend continues, then next season they will play in the group stage. I think that Real is now a little stronger than City.

[Frankolala]

Oh boy! An early matchup between Real Madrid and Manchester City? I'm in for that.    It feels like Manchester City will get what they deserve this time. I expect Ancelotti to beat Guardiola once again.

You have all noticed Manchester City's weaknesses in the CL until now. They have really struggled against top clubs. Even against Club Brugge they didn't seem credible at all. We might not have seen them in playoffs now.

Real Madrid also started badly but made progress later on. I see them one step ahead with their recent effort. I think they will show Manchester City how it's done. 

During Manchester City's last game of the group stage two nights ago, I was fully supporting Club Brugge to get the better of them so they can be eliminated but luckily for them, they won that game to reach the next round only for me to find out that they'll be facing Real Madrid in the playoffs.
Manchester City this season have been very inconsistent and against a Real Madrid side that's flying high at the moment, I don't expect the Citizens to progress to next round. I know that Pep Guardiola is a very experienced manager that's very capable of beating big teams especially when it matters most but because I also know that Real Madrid is managed by a coach that's the most successful in the competition, I have no doubt City will be eliminated

These two clubs are always rivals to each other, and they keep on clashing every season. It's a pity that they have to face themselves in the playoffs due to the challenges they faced in the beginning of this season. However, Madrid will by all means want to win this match, since it means a lot to them. City shouldn't be underestimated, because they might pull some stunt. It's a game of survival of the fittest.

Madrid and Manchester City are two big teams that have struggled to qualify for the round of 16 this season in the semi-league phase, in fact I think Manchester City should be grateful to be able to get out of the pinhole and play in the playoffs at this time, the match between Manchester City vs Madrid reminds us of last season  final quartet and I think even though both teams are still not in their best condition but the match still has the potential to be a tight match and interesting, both teams have the same chance to advance for the next round, so indeed the consistency and execution of the strategy from the two coaches will greatly determine the match later, apart from, the performance and also the determination of the players to win that match.

I ventured to take Liverpool as favorites today against PSV even though the bookies gave really striking odds for both team, Liverpool do not use some of the main players and that is why the bookies gave odds with PSV as favorites to win.
I did lose the multi-bet slip that I could have win if I didn't include Liverpool, but I was still quite happy because several other match were in line with what I predicted.
~snip~

Even though you may have known about Liverpool before they played who were brought to the Netherlands to strengthen the team against PSV, initially I also thought the same as you how bookies could give big betting odds to Liverpool while they were quite consistent with their wins but after I examined it turned out that Liverpool would play this last match more relaxed and it seemed that Liverpool wanted to focus on this week's EPL match, Liverpool's defeat also had no effect on their situation in the UCL and they had calculated everything but unfortunately many of us did not calculate first before placing a bet I think we will win next time.

I also experienced a loss from my 5 bets only one lost in the Dortmund match against Shakhtar where I played on the over corner kick but unfortunately it was not good and this match only resulted in one goal for Dortmund's victory, initially I thought this match would be fierce because Dortmund was not very strong and they also had not found a coach and it turned out to be the opposite of what I thought and I quite regretted this because I lost to them.

What is clear is that they only used second tier players for the last match and if all the main players had entered from the start, Liverpool would have been able to gain the advantage by scoring goals and it was certain that Liverpool would win the match, but everything happened and Liverpool lost because they didn't want to so draining energy in the last match.
For the Dortmund match itself, I wasn't very interested and didn't follow or watch it, Dortmund managed to win with score of 3 - 1 and that was good win, although you failed to choose the right betting option.

Aside being a formidable team Manchester City defense is very weak and i don’t think they can contain Real Madrid attacking threat at all and also being a team that is currently experiencing some problems in previous games i don’t think they are ready to face a team like Real Madrid just yet. They have improved though but they are still not yet at the level they should be. I can’t wait to see the rivalry of Mbappé and Haaland in a game. The game will be a very exciting one that both teams will have to be at their best.

Ofcourse  the advantage  that Madrid has gotten in the Champions League has actually  been an advantage  for them all this while  and so they have been on the advantage  which they did use this long to get to this level, Manchester City will not actually  be a very strong opponent currently and so far they have been scheduled to play in the playoff in the Champions League and I believe Madrid is doing well in the Champions League to the point they have the chance to probably  try winning  the league again  this season.

It seems like they have inherited the advantage from past players because that is how it has been for a long time since the times of Cristiano Ronaldo and now the young players have also taken over. They are so good in playing champions league games no matter how tough the match is even when they are not at their best. I don’t know what will happen but I am very sure Real Madrid will not make it easy for Manchester City.

Each one of us have a vote and wager to place in UCL because the stats are gritty.

But even though the two teams are not the kind of team to be easily predicted on, we can look at their performance and think about how the income of the match may be because currently Real Madrid is in better performance than Manchester City, although the team is going to do everything to win the game. We already know that, but still,

also football is something we can’t already say what will happen, and it comes as we predicted. So the thing is that we should just wait and see what will happen then. Probably as you said, the two managers have experience and know what to do.

The Real Madrid vs Manchester City match in the Champions League play-off round this season will certainly be quite fierce because it is about who will qualify for the next round so that both will equally exert their best abilities in the match. However, on this side I am actually more confident in Real Madrid than Manchester City, but for the level of fierceness of their match it will certainly be more likely to happen because after all both are very good teams and have also been very strong in their respective Leagues.

[pawel7777]

I can't believe we'll see Man City Vs Real Madrid in the play-offs. The two biggest clubs in the bunch were drawn against each other, what are the odds...
Both clubs met in the quarter-final last year and Real came at the top defeating the City in penalty shootout.
The odds for Real to go through to the final 16 are x1.69, for Man City: x2.04. That's not a surprise given Real was victorious last season and, most of all, given Man City's problems with poor performance this season, and it's too soon to say whether they fully recovered from that yet or not.
Then again, City has made a big sign-up in the transfer window, acquiring Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, he's a talented striker who could make a big difference.

I also didn't expect real Madrid and Manchester City together on the knockout phase, the people I had I mind was real Madrid and Bayern Munich instead, is actually sad to see one of my favorite going home on this lockout phase, however at this time who can we say between real Madrid and Manchester City will win? Because this may not be like there last time, however AC Milan may be the one we would see on the last 16 round because Feyenoord will have to go home and wait, however if all the big teams keeps meeting it will make the champions League final not to be humorous.
