In the 2022-2023 season, a big match that will excite soccer fans was concluded on the way to the final of the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City (England) drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 20th and secured a ticket to the semifinals. Man City, who won 3-0 in the first leg, advanced to the semifinals of the tournament for the third consecutive season with a total of 4-1 in the first and second legs.
Man City’s semifinal opponent is Real Madrid (Spain), who defeated Chelsea (England) 4-0 on aggregate the previous day. Real Madrid is the strongest team in the Champions League alone, winning 14 times. Five Champions League trophies have been added over the past decade. On the other hand, Man City is evaluated as the strongest team in the Premier League, but has yet to step on the top of the Champions League.
It was Real Madrid that caught Man City’s ankle twice while trying to win the Champions League. Real Madrid won both the 2015-2016 season and the 2021-2022 season when they defeated Man City in the semifinals of the competition.
Man City seeks revenge with Elling Hollan, a monster striker who did not exist last season. In his first season with Manchester City, Hollan scored 32 goals in the league and 12 goals in the Champions League. He failed to score a penalty kick in the first half against Munich on the same day, but scored a neat opening goal in the 12th minute of the second half. The skill of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, the best assist king in Europe, also rose. De Bruyne helped Hollan’s goal that day, recording his 23rd assist in the official match this season. 먹튀검증
