UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

With this recent development, it would even be more difficult for Manchester City to overturn their first leg defeat when they travel to the Santiago Bernabéu for the second leg against Real Madrid.

Akanji is a very important player for Manchester City, but he has not been his best this season, as most of the team anyway, he has made many mistakes, with some leading to goals, but with City short on fit players, it is another blow to them. That said, City just beat Newcastle 4-0 and what better way to prepare for that crucial clash against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, this will definitely give them confidence for Wednesday's match.

Yes Manchester City just won 4-0 over Newcastle and indeed this should boast the teams confidence and morale but I doubt it will change anything because this morale was needed most in their home stadium where they should have ensured the earned the advantage but here they are looking for two straight goals to win Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu which we all know the possibility is very slim.

I won't underestimate any team because no team is undefeatable, if Barcelona can win with a wide margin and Atletico can win with a narrow margin then Manchester City can do same in the champions league so the cut that syndrome of Madrid always eliminating them in the champions league competition.

For now, the aggregate goal between Man City and Real Madrid is 1 goal. and with a fairly thin aggregate, Real Madrid still cannot fully guarantee that they will qualify for the round of 16, especially in the next match it is an away match for Real Madrid. and maybe in that match both teams will play all out to compete for one place in the round of 16.

There's no doubt about it, it's a fact that this match will be a Death match, but Madrid has a slight advantage, they will play at home, they are one goal Ahead , that's something they must take advantage of and take until the end, I think Madrid will go out with Everything to get the result, they must secure their qualification, they can't be complacent, City will go with everything they have and with maximum desire, so this will give them an idea that things can get difficult for the home team, they can't let themselves be beaten at home, and even less so in the decisive match for the UCL.

Manchester city were unlucky in their  home match. It was completely unexpected that Manchester City would lose the match by conceding two  goals in the last minute. Manchester city has several problems in their match strategy. That is why Manchester City lost the home match against Real Madrid despite performing well.

City played well and won against newcastle  after a long time. Newcastle was not a weak team yet City managed to win by a big margin. However  I think the chances of City winning  against Madrid at the Bernabeu and qualifying for the next round are very low . Ancelotti is an experienced coach. Madrid can qualify for the next round only if they can draw the second leg match against City. So the pressure on mdrid players will be a little less

Akanji is another breed that Manchester is bringing up and they will Need to do everything to make him perform well and am surprised that Manchester city have a black player among there team I know pep very well to be known for is racism act and there other black players that can actually help the club so there is need for them to keep akanji if they really want grow they need to give other black players chances amd they are able to defeat Newcastle and there next game is going to be against Real Madrid and it's going to be another interesting game so all we need is why is pep no even saying anything about bringing in new players buy am very sure things will be different next season.

It’s really a set back for them and facing Real Madrid without Akanji and other injured players will be a major problem for them. Real Madrid was able to win them at Etihad stadium so with Akanji injured it would be difficult to challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Akanji is a very important player for Manchester City, but he has not been his best this season, as most of the team anyway, he has made many mistakes, with some leading to goals, but with City short on fit players, it is another blow to them.

Even though he is not at his best having him in the squad is a good thing and he is far better and his experience is better than the new defender they signed. So his absence will be felt significantly.

When I saw the final results of this match, I knew that Manchester City are already getting prepared for the Champions League clash second leg with Real Madrid which they’re already preparing for long. Today’s game is a boost to them to have a better confidence for their big clash in the champions league. They have been playing quite an impressive game but were unlucky not to have won the match between Real Madrid. They tried their best but couldn’t get to win the match, so I expect a tougher match here and a tight win decider in this match. Newcastle have faced a big defeat today and the loss today will definitely affect them on their league standings. Real Madrid should get prepared for a big match in the second leg as Manchester City will equally stand a chance to win a game just like them.

I got quite disappointed with the way Milan played. So much more potential but zero result.    I still want to believe that they will make up for it at San Siro though. This isn't who they are in the Champions League. I still remember how they destroyed Real Madrid away earlier. Feyenoord shouldn't be the opponent that they are hopeless against.

The revenge will be more cruel.
We can trust Milan to qualify for the next round and that trust comes when we see Milan playing away only conceding 1 goal and that is a pretty good result even though they didn't score. But I am sure in the second leg Milan will break through Feyenoord's goal with 3 goals without conceding. The guarantee to qualify is very visible and we as bettors will find it very easy to predict the results of the match without hesitation to bet on Milan's victory.

Manchester city's win against Newcastle was a really epic one, even watching that game, at some point I saw how helpless Newcastle felt especially after City had scored their third goal, but in this champions league I know it's a different game altogether and I'm believing that this victory will give city some confidence boost and they will not suffer another elimination due to loosing to Madrid in the Champions League.

Manchester City's convincing win against Newcastle today in the English Premier League will definitely increase the team's confidence as they bid to overturn the 3:2 defeat at Etihad by Real Madrid when they travel to Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg if the tie but no matter how much confidence they'll gain before that game, I don't think Pep Guardiola's men will be able to get a result that'll see them progress to the next round at the expense of Real Madrid. Real Madrid isn't just the most successful club in the competition but also the most consistent in the last decade and playing at home in the Santiago Bernabeu that's their fortress, I strongly doubt that Carlo Ancelotti's men will ever let City win the tie

When I saw the final results of this match, I knew that Manchester City are already getting prepared for the Champions League clash second leg with Real Madrid which they’re already preparing for long.

What is clear, this is not an easy match for both, Real Madrid and Man City. Even both coaches, Ancelotti and Pep, both admit that this will be difficult for both of them, with the draw, one of them has to be eliminated while they are usually rivals in the next round, this is really not easy for both of them.

And moreover, both Man City and Real Madrid also have several of their players injured, main players, which makes some of their lines quite lacking. And well, I really look forward to the second leg. and whatever the result, I will support Real Madrid.

Manchester City's convincing win against Newcastle today in the English Premier League will definitely increase the team's confidence as they bid to overturn the 3:2 defeat at Etihad by Real Madrid when they travel to Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg if the tie but no matter how much confidence they'll gain before that game, I don't think Pep Guardiola's men will be able to get a result that'll see them progress to the next round at the expense of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has great record in competition and they play very well at home in Santiago Bernabeu. But I do not think we should give up on Manchester City yet. Real Madrid has been very consistent in recent years but Manchester City has also shown that they have good players and strong team and will to win even when things are tough. Their coach Pep Guardiola is very smart and I am sure he will come up with plan to try and find weaknesses in Real Madrid game. It is going to be difficult game but I still think Manchester City has chance.

I want to believe that you have very little knowledge about Omar Marmoush because of you do, you'll not be discussing about all the statistics you mentioned and base your judgement on them. If you watched Manchester City league game against Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, you should know know of a player who scored a hattrick in the space of 14 minutes. I'm not doubting your opinion that Real Madrid is the most successful club in the UEFA Champions League history but I disagree with you when you say that Real Madrid can't be beaten at home by Manchester City.

To make everything go according to what is expected, they must look for an early goal after the match starts. They must be able to take advantage of the opponent's situation which will certainly be a little disturbed by the atmosphere created by their supporters in the stadium. At least that is one thing that can be done, because when playing away, usually the opponent will start with a little nervousness. We also know that AC Milan has a militant fan base too, so they can take advantage of that moment. Preparation must also be mature, they must also have several strategies that can be used in difficult situations.

An early goal will be the best strategy for Milan, because if they score early, they will immediately balance the scoreline and it will be left for both teams to put their strength and skills to see who wins the game. However, Milan might win their visitors hands down without any problems, but a lot needs to be done because Milan will not play with a relaxed mind.

AC Milan will start the match with a little bit of nervous feeling, but I hope they can overcome that and not think about their previous deficit. As I said before, an early goal will give them the upper hand and they can turn things around. But on the other hand, their opponents will also anticipate that, because they must be very aware that their opponents have the ability to do that. So in the first 15 minutes they will try to increase their concentration as quickly as possible, because usually the early minutes are a crucial time for concentration.

Everything is still possible, Man City is only 1 goal behind and their mission to Madrid home is big enough to really use all their strength. In my opinion this will be a fight like in the final, it is even possible that they will have to go to a penalty shootout if they don't find a common ground for both of them. About Omar Marmoush, he has extraordinary talent, his dangerous movements cannot be underestimated. Madrid needs to take this as a warning because now Omar Marmoush motivation level to be able to score a goal against Madrid is getting bigger.

Anything can still happen in the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match, but we also need to see that in football the combination of players in a team is always needed more than just relying on one player. And in the Champions League the tension of the competition is always different from that in the domestic league and Newcastle's level of strength is also not the same as Real Madrid's strength this season. So we should not judge the same on that even though I was also quite impressed with the three goals that Omar Marmoush was able to score at home yesterday against Newcastle.

............................

Madrid have a strong winning mentality in the UCL and with their great experience and history in the UCL so far, of course it gives them the confidence and ability to cope with great pressure even in difficult conditions, if we compare the quality of the two teams, actually they are quite balanced even though Madrid are in worse condition than Manchester City at the moment in terms of player injuries, but Ancelotti tactical and strategic skills has managed to cover every flaw they have at the moment, the second leg will be a very crucial match for both teams although Madrid is currently ahead agregat goal from Manchester City, but I think all possibilities can still happen in leg second later, so I think, Madrid fans should not be too confident for now over their victory in the first leg yesterday .

When talking about the champion mentality, both teams have won the UCL, the difference is that Madrid has won the UCL more often than Manchester City.

When talking about the quality of players from both clubs, it is undeniable that both Real Madrid and Manchester City are filled with quality players, even in the middle of this season, Man City has been quite aggressive in deepening the depth of its squad by recruiting the best players.

For now, the aggregate goal between Man City and Real Madrid is 1 goal. and with a fairly thin aggregate, Real Madrid still cannot fully guarantee that they will qualify for the round of 16, especially in the next match it is an away match for Real Madrid. and maybe in that match both teams will play all out to compete for one place in the round of 16.

In terms of experience of winning the UCL trophy of course madrid is superior than manchester city, but the mentality that I said above is nothing but one of the abilities madrid have to get up when they are down and I think it is very rare for a team to be able to do it other than madrid so far, even some of the world's top coaches including guardiola have admitted that madrid has an extraordinary mentality to get up and not seem depressed when they are behind in a match, a fairly small goal aggregate, of course, still opens up opportunities for manchester city in the match, but the match played at the Santiago bernabeu not will be an easy match for manchester city, so guardiola needs to prepare his squad better from now , I personally don't dare to guess who will qualify later for the round of 16, because indeed both teams still have a 50/50 chance of qualifying, but certainly I hope that the second leg match will run tighter and more exciting than the first leg.

Of course I also think that Manchester City still has the opportunity, as they have already highlighted evidence that they perform well in the last few matches. I wouldn't say city played very badly against Real Madrid, they tried to play well there too. Moreover yesterday they were able to defeat a team like Newcastle miserably. Even in this match Omar Marmoush of Manchester City scored three goals alone, he might have been the best player for his team in that match. Although Manchester City's form is still good, it remains to be seen how they will play against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Maybe that match could be a tough test for them.

Manchester City has a good ball communication but we all saw what happened in the first leg we discovered Madrid increased their ball communication in the last minute of the game when Manchester City had exhausted their strength and were waiting for the end of match, we all saw the ball communication between Vini and Bellingham that scored the winning goal.
City has what it takes to win Madrid but the question is can the hold their energy consistent for 90' with Madrid. Madrid plays their game with the intentions of draining the strength and stamina of their opponents, when the succeed the begin to make some crazy attacks when their opponents starts having this impression that they have won.

Although Manchester City's form is still good, it remains to be seen how they will play against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Maybe that match could be a tough test for them.

If we consider the recent draws of Real Madrid in La Liga and wins of Manchester City in premier league, we could say they are getting closer to each others form.
For Manchester city to advance, they need to defeat Real Madrid with a goal difference of 2 or attain a goal difference of 1 and win on penalty shoot out. That too in the home ground of Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabéu. That seems a difficult task at the moment but is not entirely impossible. The next leg is on 19th of February that would determine which of the two teams would be knocked out.

[Silence Scream]

There was bad luck that they had to feel in this match so that they could not get a satisfactory result. If you look at the way they played, they should have gotten a draw. However, that is the reality, we cannot predict what will happen to a team even though they performed better than the opponent they faced. There is still a chance for them in the second leg later, being 1 goal behind is not a far distance, they can reply when playing in front of their own supporters. With the note that they must be able to play well.

I know that Milan still has the chance of qualifying with the return leg match in San Siro, because they will make proper use of playing at home to oppress their opponent and win them hands down. One goal is not a big deal to get, Milan has sharp strikers that can pump in goals into their visitor's post. I hope everything goes as expected. If Milan finds difficult to score just like in the first leg, it means Milan will be out of the competition.

To make everything go according to what is expected, they must look for an early goal after the match starts. They must be able to take advantage of the opponent's situation which will certainly be a little disturbed by the atmosphere created by their supporters in the stadium. At least that is one thing that can be done, because when playing away, usually the opponent will start with a little nervousness. We also know that AC Milan has a militant fan base too, so they can take advantage of that moment.

However, Milan might win their visitors hands down without any problems, but a lot needs to be done because Milan will not play with a relaxed mind.

Since they lost the first match against Feyenoord, they have to take all kinds of risks on their home field. Their luck is that they only lost the match by a single goal difference. Therefore, an early goal would be very comforting for Milan. They can look for a second goal in the remaining minutes and rise to an advantageous position for the next round. In terms of squad, I think they have a much better squad than their opponent, and they are also rising to a much stronger position with the attendance advantage in Italy. I think the team that will advance to the next round will be Milan.
