Champions League: 1xBet collected the most important information about the semi-finals

The global betting company 1xBet tells about the ½ final first matches, which will
occur on May 9 and 10. The number of contenders for victory in the main
European club tournament has been reduced to four, and each struggle will have its
special subtext.

May 9, Real Madrid – Manchester City

Real has made it to the European top four for the third year in a row, and it will
also be their 10th semi-final in 12 years – crazy numbers. Carlo Ancelotti's team
beat Chelsea in the quarterfinals – 4:0 on aggregate. However, it is also true that the
Blues are unlikely to frighten even the Championship’s average performer in their
current state. Every match in which the team does not lose and scores against the
opponent is perceived as a sensation.

Real's 2023 spring feature is the pace, pushed to the limit (when necessary) and
aggressive pressing. Center forward Karim Benzema loves to play with the
Premier League clubs – he scored the last 11 goals in the Champions League
against the English. The forward would not have been so productive without the
help of Vinicius – in 2023, the Brazilian gave 7 assists to the Frenchman. This link
also works in the opposite direction – out of Benzema's five assists, four went to
Vinicius.

Real has no doubts about its abilities, and its desire to win the Champions League
is only getting stronger after the failures in La Liga. Suffice it to recall the recent
game by Girona, which beat Madrid 4-2. After such a performance, the fans will
eat the players alive if they fail against Manchester City.

Everything is stable on Manchester’s blue side. It’s unnecessary to talk about
Guardiola's team strength, but in the last Champions League match, his players
exceeded all expectations. According to the regulations, reaching the semi-finals is
possible only after two meetings. However, the battle with Bayern could be
finished after the first leg, which ended with a 3-0 home victory.

In contrast to Benzema, Guardiola has his own trump card – Haaland. The
Norwegian has already scored 50 goals this season, including 12 in the Champions
League and 34 in the Premier League. He looks amazing now and will surely be
happy for those who try to stop him.

Despite the difficult schedule, the Citizens manager gathered a squad with no weak
points, and each player works like a cog in a machine. That's why the current Man
City can win everything – the Champions League, the Premier League and the FA
Cup.

The duel with Real will remake last year's semi-final with new characters. City is
considered the tournament favorite every year, but then the treacherous Spanish
sneak up from around the corner, and it's all over. How will it be this year?

May 10, Milan – Inter
For 20 long years, Inter and Milan's fans have been waiting for the paths of these
great clubs to cross again in the Champions League semi-final, and the time has
finally come.

The teams’ game form looks no less mysterious than the Glazer family attempts to
sell Manchester United. After winning the Scudetto last season, Milan does not
find motivation in matches against Salernitana or Udinese. Still, they always tune
in to fights with teams from the top 7 in a unique way – out of 8 games, only 3
defeats from Lazio, Inter and Napoli. The result is fifth place in the standings with
a zero gap from Inter.

Nerazzurri’s situation is very similar. In 2023, Inter lost to Empoli, Bologna and
Spezia in Serie A while beating future champions Napoli and Milan (twice). But
then a rehabilitated Juventus suddenly appeared at the top of the standings (the
team was returned 15 points removed due to allegations of financial fraud in
January) and pushed Simone Inzaghi's team out of the top four. And now, both
teams need not only to get to the final but also not to lose a place in the Champions
League zone.
And what about Stefano Pioli, Milan's coach? There’s no manager against whom
Inzaghi would play more often – they met 18 times. For Inter’s allenatore, the
counterpart is quite convenient: 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats, but it was all in
Serie A. The Champions League is a different tournament that lives by its own
laws. Everything can change.
