UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Republikcoin.com]

I think the Spanish Super Cup final was also an important match for Real Madrid, but their performance was far from expectations. Even though Man City is in a bad period, it doesn't mean they can win the match easily, especially before this match takes place, Madrid has to face Atletico in the continuation of La Liga. Real Madrid performance depends on the strategy carried out by Ancelotti because the players' energy will be drained in the Madrid Derby to fight for first place.

Real Madrid's match schedule has been quite tight lately so Ancelotti must be able to place better tactics in terms of rotating players even though Real Madrid must use their main players during the Madrid derby this weekend but Ancelotti is expected to be able to read his team's situation very well so that all his main players can be fit enough when facing Manchester City in the Champions League play-off match this season. Because both matches are quite important matches for Real Madrid so Ancelotti must have a way to make a more perfect rotation for each of his players.

Real Madrid is a team that can perform consistently and in the matches that matter to them, they perform much better than expected. If expectations aren't high for Real Madrid this season, expectations won't be high for any other team.

That match have make a lot of concern to many people, quite right Manchester City are really in a bad shape and this alone didn't give me confidence for Real Madrid to secure victory. This kind of situation have happened in the past when rival play against each other and they tend to play has if they are playing final and they play it with a lot of seriousness, Real Madrid should expect Manchester City's best performance of the season despite their poor condition, this match really means a lot for both teams especially for Manchester City because they will want to do it for Rodri for winner Ballon d’Or over Vinicius. Vinicius also will want to play his best game to prove himself right. I can't predict this game because both are big teams and they have cases to settle.

The match in the Champion League is always a priority for every team, as well as for Real Madrid and Manchester City at this time, especially since they are already in the play round where one team must be eliminated if they lose, so I am sure Man City and Real Madrid will give their all in the Play-off match later.

Regarding the possibility of the winning team between Real Madrid and Man City, I think it is the same because overall both teams have almost the same strength and also both teams also have the same problems that they are currently facing, making this match quite balanced.

I don't think this match has any concern or connection on Rodri, because he is still on his sick bed and Vini will be on the pitch. The match means a lot for both teams not for only City, because City has no reputation to lose but Madrid will lose their reputation for being kicked out of UCL in group stage. Madrid has the strength to win this match and City looks weaker than they were in previous season. You should bet on City to win the match if you have the confidence in them.

The drama of Ballon d'Or happened months ago, and Rodri got a serious injury in early of season that costs him rest of season. This playoff pair between Real Madrid and Manchester City will not have participation of Rodri, and it's not like a revenge of Vinicius Junior against Rodri too.

Vinicius will fight in two matches with his teammates for a ticket to a next stage of Champions League, and to win another Champions League title. So far he has won 2 UEFA Champions League titles and is going to chase a third one. Winning Champions League title in years without World Cup or Euro tournaments are vey big points for winning individual award like Ballon d'Or.

Because both matches are quite important matches for Real Madrid so Ancelotti must have a way to make a more perfect rotation for each of his players.

Both match are actually important and crucial to Real Madrid, if they win Atletico Madrid they go 4 points again above second position, if they draw it will be 2 points above and if they lose they go 2 points behind Atletico Madrid. Worse still, it's not only Atletico Madrid that Real Madrid should be weary of, Barcelona are fast approaching.
The match against Manchester City is also very important because a win at the Etihad will make them put one foot in the Champions League R16. With the injury crises that Real Madrid has right now, it's really going to be tough for them in the upcoming matches.

Ballon d'Or rivalry has nothing to do with the Champions League. So when Man City has to play against Real Madrid it is not an individual battle between Vini and Rodri because it will always involve many people, and their existence and contributions are much more important than Vini or Rodri.

Talking about opportunities, Real Madrid seems to have a better chance than Man City, because they are not as bad as Man City. It's just that there is one thing they don't do when they have a chance, which is not to bring in new players (especially defenders), though Ancelotti should know very well that their defense line really sucks.

I hope that Real Madrid should be able to get a win in the Madrid derby this week, and also beat Manchestter City in the Champions league match, looking at Man City I think they can get a win against Man City who are not in good shape, but Man City will also do hard work to get a win because they are also not in a safe condition, it will be difficult because their time is close together so it is very important that there are no games that bring injuries to Real Madrid players so that they can go through these two matches perfectly and Real Madrid can get a win.

Bringing personal problems to the field is an action that will damage teamwork, so I don't think Vinicius has a revenge mission as discussed. Because the news was exaggerated by his fans, Rodri is still injured so there is no reason to prove themselves to each other. Let the past pass, now Vinicius only needs to focus on winning against Man City and being able to play solidly.

Giving Vinicius his best performance would be the best thing for him to show to all the fans. There is no need for any way to repay such a thing except with the best performance that can be shown. I hope Vinicius will appear in the best condition and score goals.
The award issue is over, indeed some fans think it is unfair. But Vinicius must focus on playing and giving his best to bring Madrid to victory. He is a great player and he must show his ability.

This will be a long-awaited match in the continuation of the Champions League playoff round because it brings together two big teams in the process of going to the next round and both teams are also experiencing serious problems regarding the consistency of the game so it will be much more difficult to predict. Although Real Madrid is slightly better, they currently have problems in defense so Ancelloti must really think about the best.

Man City itself is also experiencing problems with consistency but not many players are injured so it will be much easier for Pep Guardiola to prepare the team. The Madrid derby will be a reference for Real Madrid's ability to face Man City later and it will be a little more difficult in my opinion.

It will be a very bad one to not have control over your emotions enough to want to bring grievances to the pitch such that it gets to affect  the performance of the players and the general chemistry of team members thereby affecting their total rhythm within team members while in the field of action,  but I feel at some point the case is such with the team in the case of Vinicius it's just some exaggerations from fans maybe.

In my opinion the match will be like a replay of last season's quarterfinals and we can say that the match will be a revenge mission for manchester city, if we talk about the ballon d'or of course there is no connection in the match, becaause in fact I don't see any individual rivalry that will occur in vinicius and rodri so far like the rivalry that occurred between messi and ronaldo previously, rodri is injured and misses the match, so vinicius has nothing to prove apart from to help his team win, both teams are in bad shape at the moment and honestly I doubt if we will see an exciting match from both teams as it often happens when they meet previously.

Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez was patient enough to witness the exploration of Vinicius Jr. He brought him to the squad, Madrid was more patient with him to see him succeed to this present stage. You do know the story of Vinicius Jr? He's is the team's most valuable player these past years. He was once regarded as some random player that didn't fit in the attacking role, he face heavy criticism and the repercussions was when the Brazilian reciprocated, he worked hard enough in training and improve in all sectors. Today, he's banging goals in games and winning titles consecutively with Real Madrid. Enjoying the fruits of labor was observed in this scenario.

However there's presence of new development, Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti can not continue to depend on just one man to deliver the team, they concord and brought in Kylian Mbappe, a standing nine to help Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo to banged goals. Real Madrid frontline are captivating all means to win games and having ambitious and courage to step further towards handling themselves the deserved accolades.

It is difficult to predict whether Real Madrid will be able to overcome the next two important matches, against Atletico Madrid in La Liga and Manchester City in the Champions League. The top of the La Liga standings and a ticket to the last 16 of the Champions League are at stake, with the squad currently lacking rotation options, especially the defense line, I think the expected victory is a little difficult to achieve. Real Madrid are certainly very used to facing pressure, but this time Ancelotti looks a little worried.

The tight match schedule is a problem for almost all big clubs, because they play in many competitions and often send their players to strengthen their respective national teams. As a result, players are quite prone to injury, Real Madrid felt this this season. Ancelotti may regret a little for not recruiting new players in the January transfer window yesterday, the management should have been able to take advantage of the opportunity well, at least recruiting a center back.

The award issue is over, indeed some fans think it is unfair. But Vinicius must focus on playing and giving his best to bring Madrid to victory. He is a great player and he must show his ability.

Guardiola said that he doesn't understand what happened in the match with Arsenal and why they conceded so many goals at the end of the match, but if you remember the matches between Real and Barcelona, ​​they also went through the same. And City have been playing better in recent matches and it even seemed that they got out of this crisis and are ready to move on. Maybe I would give a slight advantage to Real in this confrontation, but I think that City will not give them the victory so easily either.

[Callido]

I think the Spanish Super Cup final was also an important match for Real Madrid, but their performance was far from expectations. Even though Man City is in a bad period, it doesn't mean they can win the match easily, especially before this match takes place, Madrid has to face Atletico in the continuation of La Liga. Real Madrid performance depends on the strategy carried out by Ancelotti because the players' energy will be drained in the Madrid Derby to fight for first place.

Because both matches are quite important matches for Real Madrid so Ancelotti must have a way to make a more perfect rotation for each of his players.

I hope that Real Madrid should be able to get a win in the Madrid derby this week, and also beat Manchestter City in the Champions league match, looking at Man City I think they can get a win against Man City who are not in good shape, but Man City will also do hard work to get a win because they are also not in a safe condition, it will be difficult because their time is close together so it is very important that there are no games that bring injuries to Real Madrid players so that they can go through these two matches perfectly and Real Madrid can get a win.

Neither Madrid are in a safe space, they have lot's of injured first eleven players. I don't know what to expect from the match, both teams were never been up in their games for a while now, giving Madrid the lead over City still doesn't do justice to Pep and his team. The match will be tough more than what we City faced against Arsenal, the score line will be hectic for any of them, who would be the lucky on that day no one can tell, but yet Manchester City are definitely going to put up the best performance, Manchester City could just be the right team for the victory on that day.

For the derby, they can be fortunate but same problem with the available squad they may not be fortunate aswell, we saw what happened against Leganes, it was a close game that almost ended draw. Atlético are also starving for same points, knowing their weakness at the moment puts Real Madrid in a big disadvantage.

[Lidger]

Real Madrid were lucky to get a win against Leganes by a very close margin. If Ancelotti has to play against Manchester City with the same line up it will be very difficult to get a win against City at the Etihad Stadium. I hope Real Madrid can field their starting eleven so at least the game can be very competitive and interesting.

It would have been difficult for Real Madrid to win against Manchester City had Manchester City been in their previous form. Manchester City's current performance may not be able to stop Real Madrid with their performance. Real Madrid has already prepared enough for the match against Manchester City and there is a possibility that some important players may join Real Madrid in this important match. If the defense position and attacking position do well, it will not be difficult for Real Madrid to secure a big win against Manchester City.

Real Madrid has had a series of poor performances in several matches in the beginning of this season of the Champions League, due to which there were fears at one time that Real Madrid might not secure the next round of the Champions League, but in the end, Real Madrid secured the next round of the Champions League. Having come to this round of the Champions League so hard, they will definitely not want to miss this opportunity and they will definitely want to perform well against Manchester City.

I am not entirely sure if we are going to end up with him being that great or anything else just because of the whole Ballon D'or thingy, as long as he is not mad and doesn't get a red card, he should be fine anyways. I mean think about it, right back isn't a place where City is too great right now, and because of that I am assuming that we are going to see Vinicious being good anyways, and he won't be really getting that much trouble playing great.

The only problem he could face right now is his anger, he may reject it and he may think that everyone in the world is out to get him, but as long as he keeps being angry and acts out, he is going to keep getting red cards and keep getting fined for it. If he fixes that, the sky is the limit for him.

This will be a long-awaited match in the continuation of the Champions League playoff round because it brings together two big teams in the process of going to the next round and both teams are also experiencing serious problems regarding the consistency of the game so it will be much more difficult to predict. Although Real Madrid is slightly better, they currently have problems in defense so Ancelloti must really think about the best.

Man City itself is also experiencing problems with consistency but not many players are injured so it will be much easier for Pep Guardiola to prepare the team. The Madrid derby will be a reference for Real Madrid's ability to face Man City later and it will be a little more difficult in my opinion.

The Madrid derby which will take place this week may have an impact on Real Madrid's performance in the playoff match against Manchester City. Basically I agree that both teams have their own problems regarding the consistency of their performance, but Real Madrid has the advantage because they will be playing at their home ground in this match. Real Madrid are favorites in the playoffs, but that won't determine who the winner is.

Manchester City's chances of qualifying for the last 16 in my opinion are only around 30%, but I don't think that's bad. If Pep Guardiola is able to take advantage of Real Madrid's weakness, which is also in poor condition, then they will win a ticket to the round of 16. I will wait for these two matches, they will definitely be interesting.
