There are plenty of easy picks if you're going to bet here but what I'm more interested is the Man. U vs.IBFK. United lost in their previous meeting and surely they are looking to avenge their embarrassing defeat and they must do it on their home turf. Man U is currently the huge favorite at 1.29 - understandable but I don't like it as a bettor.
~ The champions league groups are still up for grabs. Chelsea, Man united, Juventus and Dortmund needs a win to ensure that they will not be under pressure to qualify from the group stages.True that. With three matches remaining for the group stage, anything can happen. This is a crucial game for all groups. I might parlay all favorites here for $10 as the odds are just too low to even play single ;D
I am rooting for the following score linesMate, I don't wanna mess with the score lines as it disappoints me most of the time. I'd rather do ML than over/under. Best of luck to you if you're gonna do it.

Match Day 5 - December 1, 2020
(https://i.ibb.co/2vrFjcS/Untitled.png)
Group B:
Inter Milan is already eliminated but they can still make group B interesting if they defeat Mönchengladbach.
Real Madrid need to win this to seal their qualification for the next round but if Shakhtar Donetsk wins, well, we'll know who qualifies on Match Day 6.
Group D:
Liverpool needs to win at least one more match to qualify. They only have themselves to blame for losing to Atalanta at home.
Atalanta will most likely get all three points tonight and might be on top of the table if the other match ends up in a draw.
Match Day 5 - December 2, 2020

Timezone: PST
Chelsea vs Sevilla - nothing to lose in their match up as both are qualified already for the next stage.
Dortmund vs. Lazio - tricky as whoever wins is assured of qualification.
Barca and Juve should be able to win both their matches.
Man U vs. PSG - If Man U wins, they qualify. If PSG wins then Leipzig will get the job done, it'll be a three-way tie ;D
Match day 6 will be fun for all three if that happens.
Don't wanna talk about last night's matches. I lost all my bets >:(
Well, yes, I have a lot of faith in PSG, they are doing a good job, MU is always a great team, I think that in this December season the players are trying much more to go to the end of the year with some victories.

I have lots of faith in Barcelona, specially whole team members. I hope December will be great season for them. See u until next match.
in the EPL, MU has begun to rise, the next opponent is Leipzig...Well, yes, I have a lot of faith in PSG, they are doing a good job, MU is always a great team, I think that in this December season the players are trying much more to go to the end of the year with some victories.I have don't trust on MU.

This is it, the final match of the Group Stages.
Match day 6 of 6 (December 8, 2020):
(https://i.ibb.co/rcKzn7F/Untitled.png)
Timezone: PST
Dortmund just needs to draw to qualify.
It's a do or die game for Lazio vs. Brugge. Whoever wins moves on to R16.
Barca vs. Juve is just a match to see who will top the group. Both already qualified.
Chelsea match is a good chance for their bench as they already through.
Leipzig vs. Man U is the most anticipated match of the night. A draw is enough for Man U.
PSG vs. IBFK is the best scenario for PSG could have asked for as they are likely to win and qualify.
Match day 6 of 6 (December 9, 2020)
(https://i.ibb.co/c27vKYD/Untitled.png)
Man U fans who are still hopeful will most likely going to watch the PSG vs. IBFK match as there's still a small chance ;D
If it remains a draw, MU is headed to the Europa League while PSG advances to the round of 16.
Group B is also interesting to follow as every team still has a chance. Real Madrid and Inter couldn't afford to lose or draw.
~To be honest with you, they've actually defied expectations. When the draw for the group stage was done, many pundits/fans have written them off and basically assumed they won't make it. Although they are
What a downfall of Manchester, I can't believe they are so bad, but well that's football,

If there's anything positive to be taken from Man United's elimination from European competitions is that they have fewer matches now. At least they could expect fewer injuries and just focus on the Premier League. Maybe that could help them challenge for a top 4 finish.

Manchester United is performing very poorly this season. Despite winning, FC Bayern Munich did not perform well.
The match was very competitive for a long time but Kingsley Coman for FC Bayern Munchen scored a goal in the seventy-first minute that left Manchester United completely helpless. But despite attacking throughout the match, Manchester United could not succeed in any attack. Failed at the last stage and was forced to lose.
I think so. No time to dig records but I read something like the most goals ever conceded and only having 1 win in six matches could make it their worst campaign yet.If there's anything positive to be taken from Man United's elimination from European competitions is that they have fewer matches now. At least they could expect fewer injuries and just focus on the Premier League. Maybe that could help them challenge for a top 4 finish.Hopefully the result in UCL will not make them lose their motivation in EPL.
I cant really remember, was there a time when United got worst result in UCL than this season?
Barcelona were humiliated by lowly Antwerp 3-2 even though it was a meaningless loss for them but I was annoyed that I picked Barcelona to bet on in the end they lost.Tough loss for you eh? I try to avoid matches like this as much as possible. Since they're already qualified and will finish at the top of the group regardless of the result, there's little incentive for them.
This period is when most of the teams in the champions league are giving themselves rest,and are waiting for the next round of games in the champions league.The big teams are looking at the possibility of winning the league,while they are also looking at improving their current squad during this season's transfer window.Most teams have started improving their squad by bring ing in some new players who will help them finish the campaign well.Real Madrid,Mancity,Bayern,Arsenal, Dortmund,Barca and Inter Milan are some possible candidate to the Champions league tittle.

We can’t all wait for the champions league competition to be back because that is the most exciting and most competitive competition to follow up. It is full of a lot of drama that will make you curious to know what next will happen after every minutes of play in the game. All the teams that have qualified to the round of 16 are anticipating to continue their journey in the league and are all preparing fervently for it. The best teams wil qualify from this round to the quarterfinals. Based on how each team plays the round of 16 games will determine if they will make it to the next round of the competition. There are favourite teams in this competition but no team should be underestimated again because wonders does now cease to happen again and again in football.
~ While for Arsenal,they've had a little drop in form in the premier league,which makes them to Currently sit fourth on the table,but I don't think that is going to hampar their performance in the champions league,they did so well finishing top of their group also,Remember that that they are going to face the top teams from other groups. If they cannot win against smaller teams in the Premier league, what makes you think they could do it against the tougher clubs in Europe? With their current form, I think the best they could do is the quarter-finals. Their squad simply do not have the depth to compete on both ends.

This season too, the big teams in the list are going to do well in the Champions League. Bayern Munich have enriched their team Manchester City is in good form Real Madrid although lack of a good quality finisher still this team is great overall it is assumed that any of these three teams is going to be the champion team of 23-24 season. Manchester City won the Champions League trophy last season and wouldn't be too surprised if they win the Champions League final or the trophy again this season. Along with Manchester City, Real Madrid are also likely to win the Champions League trophy this season.
Well, just like Bayern, and other teams, they grow a lot in the UCL, the reason? Maybe they are the best of the best, but in their local leagues they are sometimes not given as much importance as in the UCL.The difference between Bayern München in the Bundesliga and in the UCL is that Bayern München is more developed in the UCL because they get equal competition, not in the Bundesliga they always dominate every match they face so it is very clear because of the factor that several clubs are able to push further, only clubs from the UCL which is suitable for Bayern Munich..

Along with Manchester City, Real Madrid are also likely to win the Champions League trophy this season.The most favorite candidates include Man City, Real Madrid and also Bayern Munich. I agree with this candidate. But for me, Real Madrid is still the one I most hope to win. However, this is definitely not an easy matter, because Man City is now complete with their key players, who will certainly be much different and stronger than at the start of the season without several key players. Bayern Munich too, even though they are sometimes inconsistent, they are actually very strong and definitely quite troublesome. If the club's front line is not strong, it will be quite difficult to penetrate Bayern Munich's defense. so this will be very interesting to look forward to.
In terms of team readiness, Manchester City in my opinion has a better preparation, they have formed this team for a long time, there are some changes but the changes are not too significant.When it comes to the Champions League, the names of several big teams flash in our eyes and every season we see one of these big teams winning the Champions League trophy.

On the other hand, Real Madrid can actually be said to be experiencing the transition of the generation of players, interestingly the young players they have also shown very good development so far.
Bayern Munich, I think they are still in the groping stage, I mean they are with a relatively new coach compared to the 2 teams discussed earlier. They also experienced some changes in the composition of the players, in short, the overall solidity of this team is not better than Manchester City.
The champions league his season is really going to surprise people because the people who we think can win the trophy will soon be eliminated,and the ones whom we weren't expecting will win it,Some persons are placing Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to be the two too teams whom they chose for this trophy,but I am seeing Durtmund as the people who can get to the final of this competition,and win it.They dominated their group stage in a group of death and survived,and were first in their table,and with what I've seen,I can project them to be the people who can lift this trophy as well.I don't know if the current UCL is really surprising for many people. But I assume everyone must have the same favorite teams to be the candidate of UCL champion. Man City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich are 3 teams to be the candidates of the teams to be in the final round. There are still no other teams that can make us to feel confident about them. Even Arsenal, Inter Milan, and Barcelona look not really convincing to reach the final round. No, Dortmund is very unlikely to be in the final of UCL. However, it is just a personal view, it doesn't guarantee at all.
In terms of team readiness, Manchester City in my opinion has a better preparation, they have formed this team for a long time, there are some changes but the changes are not too significant.Manchester City has solid composition between their main and reserve players, in phase group matches Pep Guardiola losses many main players but its not problem for him how the same level with reserve players and The Citizen easily manage group standings position. I think has opportunity for Manchester City for defending their UEFA Champion League tittle in this season but depend on drawing match schedule on quarter final until semifinal round.
On the other hand, Real Madrid can actually be said to be experiencing the transition of the generation of players, interestingly the young players they have also shown very good development so far.
Bayern Munich, I think they are still in the groping stage, I mean they are with a relatively new coach compared to the 2 teams discussed earlier. They also experienced some changes in the composition of the players, in short, the overall solidity of this team is not better than Manchester City.
Yes, as long as Man City no longer loses their key players due to injury, then Man City will be able to get them to the final. because so far, the contribution of the main players has been very important, like de Bruyne who was absent for a long time yesterday, this really has an influence on their potential. Thankfully, now he has returned and Man City has a full main squad. So, they will definitely be able to make it difficult for other clubs to survive. So, it would be even more exciting if Man City were in the final, especially if that is possible with Real Madrid.The most favorite candidates include Man City, Real Madrid and also Bayern Munich.

I think has opportunity for Manchester City for defending their UEFA Champion League tittle in this season but depend on drawing match schedule on quarter final until semifinal round.If Man City has no problem with injured players, Man City has a perfect squad to reach the final round. Even, Cristiano Ronaldo stated that Man City is one of his favorite teams to win the trophy of UCL this season. So, it is clear that Man City has everything to reach the final and may win again the trophy. But we don't know if they really can defend the winning status or not.
I doubt with Bayern Munich performance in Champion League this season, seems less opportunity for winning Champion League actually after looking their inconsistency performance in Bundesliga. Has easy opponent team in 16 round against Lazio but doubt chance for Bayern when facing Man City or Real Madrid in quarter final or semifinal round.The performance in domestic league sometimes can't determine the performance in UCL. Bayern Munich may performance unsatisfying in Bundesliga, but they performed quite well in UCL. I think we have no reason to feel doubt with Bayern Munich, they are a strong team. If they won't face Man City or Real Madrid in semi-final, Bayern Munich has a big chance to be in the final round.

So, it would be even more exciting if Man City were in the final, especially if that is possible with Real Madrid.In domestic league and Champion League performance, Manchester City not get problem no longer their key players after Kevin De bruyne injured more than several months. Its important how to make one team has the same level between main and substitute players, Pep Guardiola not face much problem yet when many main players injury because the substitute player can replacing well.

Its important how to make one team has the same level between main and substitute players, Pep Guardiola not face much problem yet when many main players injury because the substitute player can replacing well.Even though you might say it's not that big of a problem, the fact is that the EPL has very tight competition. There are Liverpool and Arsenal who are Man City's toughest rivals in their domestic matches. And after the Man City team was truly complete, in the end Man City was able to play even more optimally.
Against Copenhagen, Manchester City has full team because last match Haaland had return after absent last several matches with injury, seems most danger with Man City performance in this season and their appearance in Champion League.
Well, in this UCL, I think that Man City also has a big chance to advance to at least the semi-finals or even the final again. This will provide a real challenge for Man City. But this does not mean that the path will be easy. In the first Man City vs Copenhagen match, I am quite sure that Man City can excel and win, but it will not be easy.Man City is still one of the most favorite team to reach the final round. Moreover, Man City has no more a problem with injury players. When Man City plays with their best players, no doubt they will have the chance to win the match. I also agree that Man City probably reaches the semi-final at least. But I think they will reach the final round if they won't meet Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-final.
Their chances of being able to defend the title are wide open this season, it happens when they are able to maintain their appearance this season, especially when their mainstay players have returned after previously suffering injuries.Well, in this UCL, I think that Man City also has a big chance to advance to at least the semi-finals or even the final again.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are the most talked about teams as well as they are the favorites to win the Champions League title. I think it is a very reasonable thing, because judging from their appearance they are good or above the average of other teams.
Copenhagen Vs Man CityYour prediction is correct. The final score : Copenhagen 1 vs 3 Man City.
My Prediction :
Copenhagen 1-3 Man City.
And i will bet for Man City. I think there will be total 4 goal today match.

Man City and Real Madrid have the quality of squads and also have the top coach for UCL competition. These teams must be the favorite teams to reach the final round. Well, both teams won the match today. :)
On the other hand, Real Madrid faced Leipzig quite hard.
I think they will win easily with lots of goals. but it turns out this is wrong. They did win, but only by 1 goal. Leipzig was able to withstand quite a large attack from Real Madrid. Salute to them. In the second leg, Real Madrid must compete even more optimally so that they can win the aggregate even further and not worry.
(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/13/vpqSI.png)
It was expected by the Madrid fans that there could be more goals in this match but it didn't work out either way instead they won by one goal. Although the match was the most exciting and Leipzig tried enough to win the match but could not draw the game due to which Real Madrid won the first leg. However, the game was at Leipzig's home ground, which meant that they attacked well and played strongly, so Madrid could not attack too much. However, if Real Madrid perform better in the second leg and make their exciting attack, they will definitely beat the opposition and qualify for the knock out stage.

I expected more goals in this Real Madrid game, but Real Madrid's team was so competitive that a draw was more likely. The opposite side Leipzig attacked with so many attacks and counter attacks that chances of scoring were high. But due to the strength of Real Madrid's goalkeeper and defenders, Leipzig's players were unable to score. If you look at the attacks of this match, the performances of the two teams are almost equal.

~I expected them to win but I foresaw that it's going to be a tough match because their squad was incomplete due to injuries. They still played well after all that but the game was mired in controversy because of the disallowed Leipzig goal.

Bayern Munich lost badly against Lazio in the UEFA Champions League Leg-1 match. Bayern Munich's style of play was perhaps not as good and the attacking force was not as exciting as it was not able to level the game from start to finish. And after losing the first match, Bayern Munich fell into a lot of losses, of course they have to perform better in the next match and beat the opponent team by double goals, but they will be selected in the knockout stage.Bayern Munich performance poorly in last match against Lazio and can't make any one shot on target more than 90 minutes games play. Had bad finishing last match although with 17 shots but there are not one shot or target and make Bayern Munich can't scoring any one goal yet.
Yes, there is no doubt if you look at the quality of Man City players. At least we will see them in the UCL final later. As for his opponent, hemm, it's still quite a mystery. I thought Bayern or Real Madrid would be one of them, but in the first leg yesterday, they were not quite satisfactory. especially Bayern Munich, they are really down at the moment. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is actually capable, but sometimes they are not able to consistently make their attacks effective. It was quite unfortunate in the first leg yesterday. Hopefully it won't always be like that.Well, in this UCL, I think that Man City also has a big chance to advance to at least the semi-finals or even the final again. This will provide a real challenge for Man City. But this does not mean that the path will be easy. In the first Man City vs Copenhagen match, I am quite sure that Man City can excel and win, but it will not be easy.Man City is still one of the most favorite team to reach the final round. Moreover, Man City has no more a problem with injury players. When Man City plays with their best players, no doubt they will have the chance to win the match. I also agree that Man City probably reaches the semi-final at least. But I think they will reach the final round if they won't meet Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-final.

Hopefully it won't always be like that.Man City has great players and coach. The squad may change, but it looks still in good form. As long as there is no many injured players, I think Man City will be in the final round. They may fight with Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final round. If this happens, it will be an interesting final of UCL this season. I don't expect Man City will play against a team like Inter Milan. The final this year seems quite predictable.
I expected them to win but I foresaw that it's going to be a tough match because their squad was incomplete due to injuries. They still played well after all that but the game was mired in controversy because of the disallowed Leipzig goal.Just hope that Real Madrid will really do their best in the second leg. Supposedly, Leipzig will not be an obstacle for Real Madrid to advance to the next round, but that doesn't mean it will be easy. In the second leg, Real Madrid will play home games so this is expected to be much better. And I'm very sure of that.
~There's no need to hope for that to happen. I think the worst result is a draw but 90% a win even if they use the same line up.

From a bettor's perspective, what hapened to Munich against Lazio is a good thing. The odds for moneyline should be better for the second leg. I will be one to bet pre-game for Munich advancing to the next stage.In the second leg, they will play at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, so this provides an independent advantage for Real Madrid and creates mental pressure for Leipzig. I'm pretty sure that in the second leg Real Madrid will also win, with more goals. They just need to focus their play to attack more effectively and strengthen their back line again. As long as their main team is all fit, including Bellingham, everyone is fit, then the opportunity to do so is much greater.~There's no need to hope for that to happen.

Playing at home will be always an advantage, Real Madrid must play easier. Since Real Madrid succeed to win the first Leg, I'm sure they will win the second Leg. Real Madrid understands how to exploit the weakness of Leipzig. They don't have very strong strikers, they have not too strong defenders. In this matter, Real Madrid doesn't too worried they will get conceded goals. They must focus on the attacking, they should target to score more goals.
Real Madrid are one step further than their opponents Leipzig in this round of 16. The 1 goal advantage they got in the first leg when they travel to Leipzig headquarters makes them even more comfortable when playing the second leg match. This is in line with their status as one of the favorites to become champions this season.In the second leg, they will play at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, so this provides an independent advantage for Real Madrid and creates mental pressure for Leipzig.

Inter made it.There is still a lot left, because the second leg is missing, but things could be very different, Inter already has something partially assured, that is to say they have one foot more here than outside, however Cholo's team is going to go with everything and will play in Spain, so psychology is very much in their favor, the good thing is that at least they didn't allow themselves to be tied in Italy, but Morata was very close, in the end Morata gave a lot of fight, in fact I don't know why the cholo didn't score Morata from the beginning, that was a serious mistake, however I think they have to make the pertinent adjustments so that they can't do things wrong.
Congratulations to Inter for winning from Atletico Madrid in the first leg.

The match was very tight. Both Inter and Atletico Madrid fought for the ball very tightly. However, Atletico Madrid seemed to have great difficulty breaking through their level of defense during the match. Even Inter didn't even give Atletico Madrid a chance to attack. This is a victory for Inter, but in the second leg, they still have to remain alert.
Marcus Thuram was forced off at half-time in the Champions League Round of 16 against Barcelona with an adductor issue, so Inter brought on Marko Arnautovic.
The France international was trying to finish off a promising attacking move just before the break, resulting in a Jan Oblak save, but pulled up straight afterwards and needed treatment.
He held on until half-time, but was shaking his head as he walked off and it was immediately apparent he would not be able to continue.

Atletico Madrid managed to stop Inter with one goal. Atletico Madrid didn't play a good game in this match but I'm sure Diego Simeone is not too upset about this score and has a good plan for the second match. Inter are one of my favorite teams this season, they dominated this game but it won't be easy for them in Spain. Atletico Madrid have very bright home statistics. I think we may see a surprise result in the second leg.Atletico Madrid performed last night very poor how possibilities with 90 minutes without any one shot on target, I don't think easily come back on second leg match by winning above two goals how bad performed Atletico Madrid difficult create shot on target.
I miss those days when keeping a clean sheet at home actually matters. There was more pride in protecting your own turf during those days. If that rule was still in place, Inter's one goal and zero goals allowed would look more impressive. Anyway, I think they can still get the job done in Spain.
Wow, unbelievable, Porto can beat Arsenal. This is something that is certainly very surprising. How strong was Porto that in the end Arsenal had to admit defeat. Hmm, this must be very bad for Arsenal who is definitely the favorite. Porto played very well too, so Arsenal were quite overwhelmed in attacking Porto themselves.Unbelievable result match for Arsenal defeated by Porto, actually Arsenal's performance in Premier League match most fantastic but facing Porto they have losses over 1-0 and make difficult for second leg match. Arsenal won six consecutives matches in Premier league but Porto success stopping their winning trend. The same with Bayern Munich performed when defeating by Lazio, Arsenal has not shot on target and very bad for winning second leg match.
It turns out that in this first leg there were some quite surprising match results. Not only Arsenal, but also several others such as Bayern Munich and others. It seems like they haven't been too optimal in this first leg. This will be the interesting of the second leg later.
I don't understand the shock of other members with Arsenal's loss to Porto. It's one thing if you lost a bet but to think that the result is unbelievable? This is the Champions League and, from the last few years, Arsenal hasn't been that strong in this competition. They do not have a player like Henry that could turn the match around.I'm not surprised, especially since I saw a lot of luck on Porto's side so that they could win this match with the narrow score they created at the end of the match.
I was not shocked at the final result because Arsenal didn't play as people that want to win the match. They don't have the strategy on how they can break into Porto's defense, and when you cannot penetrate their defense how will they score. It was unfortunate that we underestimated Porto, and out place Arsenal higher than them, which led to the disappointment yesterday, because a lot of people must have bet on Arsenal to win the game. Arsenal have been performing very poor in champions league and that is what we should put into consideration when placing your bet on Arsenal in the champions league.I don't understand the shock of other members with Arsenal's loss to Porto.

However, it is a bit disappointing and you are right Arsenal are not as strong as they used to be, they are now in transition under Arteta. Despite losing this match, they still have a chance to win in the second match later.
I hope they can play better, and if not maybe they will be eliminated early.

Arsenal cant expect to go in next round if they continue playing like this again.
This was a boring match to watch but Port had better chances and they deserved to win.
As a result I lost my bet placed on Arsenal so I am not happy with final outcome :P
The tactical approach to the match was really poor.Keeping a player like Karl Hervetz in the match till the end of the game is something I didn't understand.The other players who could have made impact on the pitch,was left on the bench,and Arteta made just one change.He left Martinelli who was a flop on the pitch and forgot to bring in another player, someone like Nelson to come and try whether he would be able to beat the person in front of him knowing fully well that he always deliver them when things looks rough.It is a lesson,and they are lucky that they have a second chance to try again,but to me,I think Arsenal is gone already.Arsenal cant expect to go in next round if they continue playing like this again.

Disappointed. Cry more Arsenal. Zero shot on target..shame.
Arteta must think like a pilot. A smooth takeoff is fabulous, but the landing that counts.
Possession is beautiful, but the goal is to win the games. I thought Arsenal was finally learning that lesson.
And for Arsenal fans... Don't place your trust in the team just celebrate when your expectation is met in any match.
It may be cruel to judge, but it’s valid.
Yes, Arsenal will definitely regret it after this match. Even looking at their tired faces at the end of the match, we can already feel what they felt at that time. but what else can you do? In fact, Arsenal can only be like that, even Arsenal can be said to be very bad at playing. Did they feel that Porto would be easy to beat so that from the start they underestimated Porto? I don't think it should. However, it is true that Arsenal is performing very badly, until now I have seen that they are unable to even attack the opponent's goal.Wow, unbelievable, Porto can beat Arsenal.

Other match Napoli vs Barcelona have draw and second leg match will be crucial both team have the same chance for qualifying to quarter final.
Maybe in the second leg they will be better, because later they will play at home, and they will definitely play all out to be able to win a match that really determines their journey in the Champions League this season. The choice is only one, which is to win.I'm not surprised, especially since I saw a lot of luck on Porto's side so that they could win this match with the narrow score they created at the end of the match.I was not shocked at the final result because Arsenal didn't play as people that want to win the match.

Arsenal cant expect to go in next round if they continue playing like this again.Arsenal seemed not ready to play against Porto yesterday. They really played under performance, they made 0 shot on target. I still can't believe it, Arsenal attackers can't do anything. Yep, it was a boring match because there were not much attacking from both teams, specifically from Arsenal attackers.
This was a boring match to watch but Port had better chances and they deserved to win.
As a result I lost my bet placed on Arsenal so I am not happy with final outcome :P
Arsenal had a good game, controlling the game; however, I can't blame the attackers because Porto's low block tactics made it impossible for the attackers to operate; they were extremely compact at the back, making the free flow of games impossible. Arsenal needs to improve in the second leg, score an early goal, and pull them out. This way, they can get something out of the game, but I do not see them qualifying.Controlling the game how?

I didnt saw any good chances from them, and they had zero shots on goal, with ball possession that means nothing :P
Porto was better team and they deserved this surprise win, but they need to do the same in two weeks if they want to go in next round.
Arsenal's chances of qualifying for the next round are still great, provided they can play as well as possible in the second leg later. Otherwise they might be eliminated from the Champions League. They must be able to create a quick goal to equalize the aggregate first, after that they can play more comfortably.Arsenal needs to improve in the second leg, score an early goal, and pull them out.

Yep. it's not over yet, but Arsenal must be careful while doing so
The Gunners have had the first leg but blew it, and the second leg will come with a lot of pressure. It's not so much about home advantage but more about home pressure.
Arsenal have never won a game at home to Porto, but they've also always lost at the Emirates.
I hope what happened in the first leg doesn't happen again at the Emirates, and they can do it and bounce back.
I believe Arsenal have what it takes to qualify for the the next round which is the qualter final of the competition.I believe they can win Porto at Emirates stadium and get to the next stage.They were beaten by Porto because they lacked that experience,and how to play against a strong side like that in the Champions league round of 16,and I think history also had a way of playing it role in their loss.They have not won or qualified from the round of 16 for a couple number of years now,but the jinx might get broken at the Emirate stadium where Arsenal will be all out for the three points and to score two goals past Porto.I'm not surprised, especially since I saw a lot of luck on Porto's side so that they could win this match with the narrow score they created at the end of the match.Actually, Arsenal fans was shocked with the match result in Champion League regarding how consistent Arsenal performance in domestic league.

I hope they can play better, and if not maybe they will be eliminated early.
But losses over one goal in the first leg can't close yet Arsenal opportunity on second leg match, they must improve performance and have to win with two margin goals if want get place in quarter final round.
Arsenal's manager Milkel Arteta must get advantage with home match on second leg, pressure on the early minute how to make easily score above two goals.
But on the other hand Porto themselves must have targeted at least a draw in this match. And thus maybe they will focus more on their defense rather than having to come out to attack. But it's all uncertain because this is still a prediction and when the match later anything can happen.
Controlling the game how?I think he means "dominating" the match. It refers to the total shots and the ball possessions. :D
It is true. Arsenal made 0 shot on target. We can't expect them to make a goal if they do the same way in the next match. I agree that Porto deserves to win the match, they truly made great efforts. They have 2 shots on target from total 8 shot attempts.
I didnt saw any good chances from them, and they had zero shots on goal, with ball possession that means nothing :P
Porto was better team and they deserved this surprise win, but they need to do the same in two weeks if they want to go in next round.
Arsenal only had the ball, but wasn't even able to pass to the back lines of Porto. This means that their ball control was very bad.Yep. They were only dominating the ball possessions, but they have no good chance for scoring goals.
It is true. Arsenal made 0 shot on target. We can't expect them to make a goal if they do the same way in the next match. I agree that Porto deserves to win the match, they truly made great efforts. They have 2 shots on target from total 8 shot attempts.

In fact, in the group stage, the majority of football fans began to have high hopes for Bayern as part of the list of teams that would compete in the race for the UCL title. but now it seems everyone is starting to doubt Bayern after seeing Bayern lose to Lazio in the round of 16 first leg. And yes, that makes sense. But I personally still think that Bayern will turn things around and qualify for the next stage by beating Lazio in the second leg.Yes Bayern Munich is one of the favorites to win, but unfortunately they did not show that they deserve to be champions, even now they must be behind Lazio on aggregate.
But I also doubt that Bayern will be the team that has a chance of winning the UCL title this season.

But even so their chances of turning things around are still there, it's just that it will be more difficult than them. I'm also starting to doubt them now. Maybe they can qualify and turn things around in this round, but after that I doubt them because the opponents they will face may be better than their current opponents.
Well, I think that Bayern will improve more and more, what happens is that Bayern for now has a very big emotional blow because they have been affected because Leverkusen and a team that has run over them as if it were a steamroller and This has made things different for them, because they have always been champions of Germany and now they are taking away the Bundeliga is something that affects their way of playing and everything, I could think that things are more difficult, It is now, the whole world was expecting that Dormtund was the team that was going to make the difference, but we see that it was not like that and that things can be different.
Leverkusen is a team that now has everything to be champions and that hits the ego very hard, they also have very good players playing, that is what has affected them the most, it is not easy for them to accept that their leadership is taken away like this almost from night to morning.
I don't think it's because Leverkusen are slowly eroding their mentality, but it's their own fault for not being able to improve more this season, the result is what we see now, they are struggling in the Bundesliga and they are also struggling in the Champions League.Yes Bayern Munich is one of the favorites to win, but unfortunately they did not show that they deserve to be champions, even now they must be behind Lazio on aggregate.

Many underperforming teams today need the right coach to boost the confidence of existing players. The way a coach communicates and interacts with the players is crucial, as it greatly influences team performance. Leverkusen, in the last season, had average players, but with unity and boldness, they are now perceived as good players. Surely, the league is within their grasp, and I believe they have what it takes to win the Europa League ahead of Liverpool. They might end up securing 2-3 trophies this season, who knows?.At least this is the result of Leverkusen's hard training which has always been underestimated from year to year until now Leverkusen has managed to get up and slap everyone who underestimates Leverkusen's strength. Usually Bayern Munich leads the match from year to year but currently Bayer Leverkusen has managed to lead the standings by a distance quite a far point.
Well maybe Bayern will just repeat what they got last season in the UCL. Last season, Bayern were only able to reach the quarter-finals. And maybe this season will be the same. because even against Lazio they would be overwhelmed. So of course Bayern will have more difficulty when facing a stronger team in the quarter-finals. But if Bayern doesn't qualify for the quarter-finals it won't be a surprise either. Because they also lost in the first leg.In fact, in the group stage, the majority of football fans began to have high hopes for Bayern as part of the list of teams that would compete in the race for the UCL title. but now it seems everyone is starting to doubt Bayern after seeing Bayern lose to Lazio in the round of 16 first leg.

I can't believe it with Arsenal quit well performance in domestic league and most productivities teams for scoring goal but 0 shots on target when facing FC Porto on first leg of Champion League knock out round.
Currently before facing FC Porto, Arsenal made 15 goals of 3 last matches in Premier League but their performance not effective in Champion League when facing Porto. I don't enough sure with Arsenal has opportunity for second leg match with Porto will full defensive on second leg match and make Arsenal will get another zero shots on target again?
I don't think it's because Leverkusen are slowly eroding their mentality, but it's their own fault for not being able to improve more this season, the result is what we see now, they are struggling in the Bundesliga and they are also struggling in the Champions League.Yes Bayern Munich is one of the favorites to win, but unfortunately they did not show that they deserve to be champions, even now they must be behind Lazio on aggregate.

In the Bundesliga it is very difficult to catch Leverkusen and they are likely to have to give up the title they have held. But in the Champions League, the opportunity is still there, it's just that they must be able to utilize it very well, do not let the mistakes they made in the first leg be repeated in this match.
Porto FC thinks they can play a defensive game. Arteta and his boys are really looking forward to that match because it's going to get ugly for them. I won't be surprised if Arsenal scores up to 5 goals and keeps a clean sheet in that game. RC Lens can testify to a similar situation.Huge pressure on the first minutes and Porto more playing with defensive make Arsenal difficult for creating many attempts and I don't sure how easily for winning the second leg match. Its difference with Lens performance because FC Porto lead one goal and enough for playing more defensive with waiting draw result.
And also, arsenal has a upper hand in the game, as most of their players have made important recovery for the team.
All teams will definitely try their best to get something good, but it doesn't always go smoothly as expected, sometimes the efforts they make are not in line with the results they get, it is something normal in football, all teams have experienced something like this.I don't think it's because Leverkusen are slowly eroding their mentality, but it's their own fault for not being able to improve more this season, the result is what we see now, they are struggling in the Bundesliga and they are also struggling in the Champions League.

The truth is it's a shame because basically when you try to see things differently, Bayern has always tried by all means to do things better, they even brought in the great Harry Kane and he has proven his worth a lot, but he has They lacked a lot of luck, because I see that no matter how much they have fought or they are not given things, then this is something that we must see, for me Leverkusen has been unstoppable, and there is the handling of Xabi Alonso and he is a good coach, the The truth is that I always liked how he played for Madrid, perhaps having gone through the best coaches in the world made him the coach he is now.
For Btyaern they have a lot of opportunity in the UCL, they should not back down or believe that they are less, they have a lot of quality, maybe this is not the Bundeliga, but they can fight for the UCL, which only the best in Europe are in, so no They can lose hope, I believe that many teams go through a crisis, this time it affected them a lot, but they have the quality to get out of this.
Regarding the quality they have, I can say that they are one of the best in the Champions League, and in the Bundesliga I think they are still the best. But in football it's not always about that, there are still many factors that ultimately make a difference to a team.
I added a poll in the OP to get a general idea of the favorites here. Vote on which team do you think will lift the trophy this season. If one of the teams in the options is eliminated after the R16 second leg, I'll update it.I've voted, it seems I'm the first one who voted the candidate of the UCL champion.

No team can underestimate Bayern Munich, they have proved it many times. Even when Barcelona has Messi and it was in prime era, Bayern Munich could beat them with big scores. In Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the best team in this season. But Bayern Munich is still a strong team as well.

Because so far this is the only team that has always performed solidly in every competition, whether domestic league or not. And Pep still looks trustworthy to make Man City lift the trophy again.
I agree with you that football is not just about strategy and so on, but football is more than that. The 11 players who play on the field must have good chemistry that will make the strategy work very well.

This team fell off. and yeah, Tuchel must do something about it.
But Tuchel is not a competent coach for Bayern.
Competency is not just tactics, training, or any other set of coaching points. It's about building relationships with players. IMO
In the end, the way this team plays and the way this season has progressed is a reflection of the coach.
Bayern did not perform well this season, and they were not good enough to win anything this season
Significant personnel changes are needed for next season.
Yep. Bayern Munich is always one of the strongest teams in UCL. No team can underestimate Bayern Munich, they have proved it many times. Even when Barcelona has Messi and it was in prime era, Bayern Munich could beat them with big scores. In Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the best team in this season. But Bayern Munich is still a strong team as well.Last two season Bayern Munich is not strongest teams any more, they had losses first leg from Lazio and difficult for winning and come back on second leg match in this middle week. Bayern Munich performance had difference since last season eliminated by Manchester City in quarter final and had very poor performance in domestic league remaining many points left from Bayern Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich performance had difference since last season eliminated by Manchester City in quarter final and had very poor performance in domestic league remaining many points left from Bayern Leverkusen.
I think the era of Bayern Munich in Champion League over with difficult to lead higher stage until the final round in champion league, I don't sure will Bayern easily come back against Lazio and qualify from 16 of round?
That game is very exciting and promises, the truth is I don't know which team to go for, if Bayern passes then fine, but if Lazio passes don't be scared as you advance, of course, for me Bayern has much more experience and They know how to handle themselves in these Championships very well, so on that side I would like them to be able to pass, in addition to Bayern as they get or position themselves in a better position in the classification because they grow much more.Last two season Bayern Munich is not strongest teams any more, they had losses first leg from Lazio and difficult for winning and come back on second leg match in this middle week.

Bayer has 90 minutes to make it count and no time to waste. Time is on Lazio's side.
And if Lazio qualifies, they reach the quarter-finals for the first time in two decades.
It won't be an easy game, but I think Die Roten will come back
The supporters and the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena will be energizing and give the team a boost so they can achieve their target of winning by at least two goals.
Between Real Madrid and Manchester City, whatever team that wins in their semi-final meetings with each other is going to have my support to lift the Champions League trophy.I added a poll in the OP to get a general idea of the favorites here. Vote on which team do you think will lift the trophy this season. If one of the teams in the options is eliminated after the R16 second leg, I'll update it.
I happened to be the second voter. I strongly believe in our manager and his process. Despite losing the first leg, I anticipate a victory in the second leg with a massive margin. I am well aware of how challenging the Champions League can be, and I'm confident that the players understand it too. In my view, two teams pose a threat in this competition: Manchester City and Real Madrid. It's quite likely that they could face each other in the semi-final, adding more excitement to the UCL.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are two teams that I believe that can lift the UEFA trophy, but now they will meet each other in the semi-finals, makes it worse to choose from. Still, yet, a team will leave and my support is for Manchester City to win the Champions League again.
Save this. Arsenal is winning the UCL. Arsenal is currently on fire. Arsenal's major test is against Porto. Porto winning Benfica 5 goals to nil and Arsenal winning 6 goals to nil shows how good both teams are in their leagues. Following records between both teams at the Emirates, I will back Arsenal to overcome the test and have an easy ride to the UCL finals. I look forward to Timber being featured in that game.Before losing on the first leg match, Arsenal had impressive performance but unbelievable FC Porto success winning over 1-0 although in domestic league matches Arsenal dominance won over many goals every match. Last night, Arsenal won over 6-0 over Sheffield United and I doubt they can win above three until five goals when facing FC Porto.
Finally today the round of 16 for the second leg in UCL will begin. With the Bayern vs Lazio match and the Real Sociedad vs PSG match. In this match I will favor Bayern. But for the Real Sociedad vs PSG match I might prefer to bet on a draw. Because even though PSG is a tough team, sometimes they don't play optimally at home to their opponents. And Real Sociedad is also not a weak team when hosting.It has been playing.
What a great performance from Bayern. Kudos to Harry Kane for his brace. Well, I wasn`t expecting Bayern to leave the UCL at this stage because Bayern is one of the giant teams when it comes to Champions League Football. I considered the home factor and even experience and it became clear that Lazio wouldn`t have anything at Allianz Arena. Mbappe continues to prove himself and take PSG forward. I think it was an easy pass for them against the Real Sociedad side with an aggregate of 1-4 in favour of PSG. Today, I look forward to Manchester City and Real Madrid advancing as well.Well, Bayern and PSG managed to advance to the next stage in the UCL and it was in accordance with what many of us predicted. But Bayern scoring 3 goals is quite a big improvement. Considering that Lazio's defense was quite strong in the first leg, it turned out that Bayern could destroy it in the second leg.

The way Bayern Munich has done it is quite good because in the Bundesliga they are in second place and cannot win first place at least in UEFA Champions League Bayern Munich can be in first place until the League is finished and Bayern Munich emerges as champions.
today Real Madrid and Man City will also be favorites. And I think Man City is certain to qualify, because they managed to build a fairly large aggregate since the first leg. And Real Madrid will also be a favourite. But recently Real Madrid has experienced a decline in performance. I hope this doesn't happen in today's match. Because in today's match as hosts Real Madrid must win convincingly.
Well, a tremendous goal, but Muller scores, it is something impressive, they gave 1 minute to be able to make the discount, and precisely in the 21-22 minute, Muller scores the second goal, or which would lead Bayern to pass partially, I did say that This match was going to be very good, because Bayern is a team that plays much more under pressure and that is something we all notice, the Germans show all their talent at the moment of seeing themselves lost, I think this is working well under pressure , I'm partly happy, but I also praise Lazio's work.
Indeed, Bayern Munich have been one of the favorites in the Champions League from the start, only this faded after they failed to win in the first leg. Also their performance in the Bundesliga also experienced a decline which ultimately made confidence in them fade.Well, Bayern and PSG managed to advance to the next stage in the UCL and it was in accordance with what many of us predicted.

Lazio strangely managed to make such a result in the house of a great Bayern Munich must be considered that if it has been reassembled in the house as a team like Lazio then for the next games it will be all uphillIndeed, Bayern Munich have been one of the favorites in the Champions League from the start, only this faded after they failed to win in the first leg.

However, they were successful in the second leg by winning the match with a fairly landslide score too. They managed to turn things around and succeeded in eliminating their opponents in the round of 16. Now that they are in the quarter-finals, their task will be even harder.
Upcoming matches:Well, Vinicius Junior has just scored Real Madrid's most anticipated goal to seal their quarter-final qualification to face Manchester City next.
Man City vs. Copenhagen
Real Madrid vs. Leipzig
It's almost a done deal for City and it's 99% that they will make it to the next round. On the other hand, Real Madrid still has a lot of job to do. Anyone betting on these games? A City + Madrid parlay looks like a good bet but I would be careful. I think one of the games will end up in a draw.
Leipzig really gave Real Madrid a tough time in the first half, to have them draw with them. I anticipated a goal to be scored in the second half, which happened. However, Real Madrid should get prepared to face Manchester City because it will be the clash of the titans of who owes the Champions League title this season.Leipzig played better than Real Madrid in this match. Although the result of the match was a draw, Leipzig already gave their best. I'm surprised Real Madrid looks like more defensive in this match, Leipzig made more attacks. Just look at the stats, Lipzig even could make 20 shots. All the goals were made in second half of the match. Real Madrid was lucky that Leipzig failed to score another goal. They have more chances for more goals until the end of the match.
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/03/06/yswgm.png)This result is not too surprising because Man City performed quite brilliantly in the first leg yesterday. So in this second leg, they just have to perfect their big win. However, the difference in strength between Man City and Copenhagen is very visible. Man City dominates in various aspects and this is very troublesome for Copenhagen. And, yes, they just have to wait for their next opponent.

Real Madrid vs Leipzig : 1 - 1
Who feels disappointed with the results of this match? Me personally yes. quite disappointed. Although indeed, in the end. Real Madrid is still the one who advanced to the next round, however, Real Madrid's performance in the second leg was not as optimal as we thought. In fact, they were quite troubled by the attacks from Leipzig. This is just Leipzig, not the other top clubs which will definitely be more troublesome.
Well, Leipzig quickly struck back after that and it made the match harder for Madrid.Upcoming matches:Well, Vinicius Junior has just scored Real Madrid's most anticipated goal to seal their quarter-final qualification to face Manchester City next.

Smooth sailing for Man City. Copenhagen just wasn't a match for them, the Danish team is not in its peak form, even in their league they lost 3 out of the last 5 games.Real Madrid finally qualified, even though they only drew in the second leg. And this actually makes me doubt whether Real Madrid will be ready to go further. And I think that after the second leg of the round of 16 is finished, the table you attached will experience quite drastic changes. But for Man City, this team will definitely remain the favorite and remain at the top.
City is a massive favourite to win the Champions League. Odds are as follows:
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/03/06/ysrx9.png)
Of course this will change after next week's 2nd leg games are completed. I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal moved to the top spot. They are having an absolutely great time in the Premier League, scoring an average of 4.8 goals per game in their last 5 league games. And that's including defeating Liverpool 3-1.
Real Madrid finally qualified, even though they only drew in the second leg. And this actually makes me doubt whether Real Madrid will be ready to go further.
Poor performance yesterday. Madrid needs to Improve finishing and add some power to shots…Currently, Real Madrid have weakness with attacking line performance with less productivities goals every match, last the bigger score winning in La Liga when defeating Girona over 4-0 and most the winning matches of Madrid last several matches above one or two goals.
Good squad, playing attractive football but too inconsistent. Madrid should be far ahead of Leipzig.
It's time to wake up! Madrid is a big team and must show their quality.
All players must focus on the game and return to being the best.
The next game must be better...
Indeed, I will say that Leipzig were the better side. They were able to make good one-two touches, but lack the finishing ability when given a chance. It's quite unfortunately for Leipzig, but they've already made their statement by letting other UCL teams know that Real Madrid ain't dominant at the Bernabéu stadium.Leipzig really gave Real Madrid a tough time in the first half, to have them draw with them. I anticipated a goal to be scored in the second half, which happened. However, Real Madrid should get prepared to face Manchester City because it will be the clash of the titans of who owes the Champions League title this season.
Real Madrid must improve their game if they want to face Man City. They can't play like this match if they want to have a chance winning against Man City.

Well, talking about consistency, Man City has always been the best. Just look at when De Bruyne wasn't back and when Haaland was injured, it turns out that Man City was able to stay strong and didn't experience much decline. Because they have second tier players who also have very good quality. Pep is indeed a coach who has double preparation. He seems to be ready for the worst that could come to Man City.Real Madrid finally qualified, even though they only drew in the second leg.

That's for sure. I think if Inter knocks out Atletico next week, probably they'll jump up to number 2 or at least 3.
Inter is doing really well in Serie A, and it's almost certain at this point that they'll win it. But I still think Man City is a better team, they are very consistent in the toughest league in the world.
Well, talking about consistency, Man City has always been the best. Just look at when De Bruyne wasn't back and when Haaland was injured, it turns out that Man City was able to stay strong and didn't experience much decline.Indeed, Man City is currently not as weak as when they were left behind by de Bruyne and their main players due to injury. So, their performance wasn't good enough at that time.
After De Bruyne returned Man City really had a better level of attacking effectiveness. In fact, they become more productive. And when Haaland returned everything was even better. In essence, this team has really become like a monster on the field for other clubs. But somehow I see Inter Milan will be a surprise again this season. Because their performance has continued to be consistent since the start of the season until now in Serie A. And I see Inter Milan will also do it in the Champions League.Well, talking about consistency, Man City has always been the best.

In contrast to current conditions, Man City is back in its heyday. With de Bruyne's return, Man City has become much stronger, more convincing, and also made Man City get used to it a lot.
And it's natural that when you see the two of them, I think who will be the next host.

Not any weakness side yet with Manchester City performance in this season but get bit difficult with their current standings in domestic league under Liverpool's position will make separated their focus between Champion League or domestic league.

We have also seen that when he is absent and cannot play, Manchester City becomes less good in attack.
Yes, de Bruyne is a key player for Man City, apart from Haaland. Indeed, in Man City there are actually many great and strong players. However, the key player who can make Man City more stable and on track is de Bruyne, one of them. That's why, for now, they have returned again. Even though when talking about the EPL, Man City is not at the top of the standings, but when it comes to the UCL, Man City is still one of the favorites. What is clear is that Man City can breathe a sigh of relief because they can enter the next round, looking forward to the next opponent they will face.After De Bruyne returned Man City really had a better level of attacking effectiveness.

So true. Even Man City was able to escape from the round of 16 without any difficulty at all. Qualifying with an aggregate of 6-2 really shows that Man City is still a team that their opponents in the UCL will fear. And also shows that they are indeed the favorite club to lift the UCL trophy again this season.Yes, de Bruyne is a key player for Man City, apart from Haaland.

All teams will definitely try their best to get something good, but it doesn't always go smoothly as expected, sometimes the efforts they make are not in line with the results they get, it is something normal in football, all teams have experienced something like this.I don't think it's because Leverkusen are slowly eroding their mentality, but it's their own fault for not being able to improve more this season, the result is what we see now, they are struggling in the Bundesliga and they are also struggling in the Champions League.
In the Bundesliga it is very difficult to catch Leverkusen and they are likely to have to give up the title they have held. But in the Champions League, the opportunity is still there, it's just that they must be able to utilize it very well, do not let the mistakes they made in the first leg be repeated in this match.
Currently Leverkusen has gone very far behind Bayern, I don't think and I don't know if they will give up on the Bundesliga, the truth is it's a shame, I always thought that the one who would take the Bundesliga title away from Bayern It was going to be Dortmund, but Leverkusen arrived like a tornado that caught many by surprise, it is still the date and they are still undefeated, that is something that is very surprising, for me the Bundeliga belongs to Leverkusen, Baeyern has to improve a lot, they are already thinking or looking for a job. Tuchel apparently is leaving at the end of the season, because I read an article somewhere that Mourinho had said no to Bayern.
In the UCL they have very good hopes, none of the remaining teams are easy, the others that pass will also be very tough teams, I don't see weaknesses in any of them, I think that Bayern already has to get the caste, it was difficult for them to obtain the great Harry Kane, it's time he proves his worth.
The truth is it's a shame because basically when you try to see things differently, Bayern has always tried by all means to do things better, they even brought in the great Harry Kane and he has proven his worth a lot, but he has They lacked a lot of luck, because I see that no matter how much they have fought or they are not given things, then this is something that we must see, for me Leverkusen has been unstoppable, and there is the handling of Xabi Alonso and he is a good coach, the The truth is that I always liked how he played for Madrid, perhaps having gone through the best coaches in the world made him the coach he is now.
For Btyaern they have a lot of opportunity in the UCL, they should not back down or believe that they are less, they have a lot of quality, maybe this is not the Bundeliga, but they can fight for the UCL, which only the best in Europe are in, so no They can lose hope, I believe that many teams go through a crisis, this time it affected them a lot, but they have the quality to get out of this.
Regarding the quality they have, I can say that they are one of the best in the Champions League, and in the Bundesliga I think they are still the best. But in football it's not always about that, there are still many factors that ultimately make a difference to a team.
So true. Even Man City was able to escape from the round of 16 without any difficulty at all. Qualifying with an aggregate of 6-2 really shows that Man City is still a team that their opponents in the UCL will fear. And also shows that they are indeed the favorite club to lift the UCL trophy again this season.Manchester City become the first Premier league team qualified to quarter final with the aggregate winning over 6-2 against Copenhagen, its very poor performance with premier league team in champion league this season, left two team in 16 of round and Arsenal can't guarantee will qualify to next round after losing on the first leg match.
I am now curious whether Arsenal will qualify or not. They lost in the first leg. And tomorrow Arsenal will compete again in the second leg. And as the host I hope Arsenal can turn things around and win the match. Because I think Arsenal deserves to qualify for the next stage if they play better.
Porto, which is quite famous for its strong defense, will definitely strengthen their defense even more in the second leg. And this will be a tougher challenge for Arsenal to penetrate this defense. But I am optimistic that as hosts Arsenal will definitely surprise us all. Because recently we can see Arsenal starting to increase their goal productivity in the EPL. In fact, Arsenal is the team that has scored the most goals in the EPL at the moment.So true. Even Man City was able to escape from the round of 16 without any difficulty at all.

Tonight Arsenal will face Porto on second leg match, need to win above two goals after losing on the first leg not easy with Porto have bigger chance and will play more defensive. Its bad achievement if the only Manchester City are qualifying to quarter final as premier league teams only.
My interest is in the Arsenal vs FC Porto game. Despite the goal deficit, I expect Arsenal to put up an electrifying performance and advance to the next round.
Have four teams qualified to quarter final of Champion League from Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG. Next batch on middle week there are have four teams are waiting for to completed the quarter final teams participants, looking the first leg matches result dominance with draw and lead over one goal make interested for second leg matches and I don't sure FC Porto and Inter Milan had one goal easily qualify to next round.You are mistaken. The Champions League is in the round of 16, not the quarter-finals. For your notice, Porto hasn't won against Arsenal in their second-leg encounter, it will be taken today(a few minutes to it) at Arsenal's home. You know what it means, a win for Arsenal, even though they lost to Porto by a goal.
Barcelona and PSV will play in their home still not secure yet with their position after home and away format goal removing all teams has the same opportunity qualifying to quarter finals
Today's round of 16 Champions League matches for today:I'm quite surprise when watching Barcelona performance this time. They are exactly, leading the match.
Arsenal vs Porto
Barcelona vs SSC Napoli
I was planning to open this topic after the group stages but here we are...Match review between Barca vs Napoli :It was a wonderful start for Barca tonight , but Barca experience a tough 45 minutes in the first half but the letter came back strong and got a 3-1win over Napoli, that brought the scores aggregate to 4-2 which make Barca to advance, to the next stage of the UEFA champions League 2023/2024 season.

It was a great few days for Arsenal. First, they overtook both Liverpool and Man City in the Premier League and moved to the top spot, and today they got to the Champions League quarter-finals after 14 years of waiting.Well, even though Arsenal actually won only because they had better luck than Porto, they still deserved to go further in the UCL. Porto is a really tough opponent and it's natural that Arsenal had difficulty in yesterday's match.
I think winning the league will be their main focus but they've proven they're more than capable of winning both trophies, even know today's game against Porto wasn't their best.
Penalty shoot-outs are always a lottery, but winning them tends to give teams some extra morale boost.
I don't see them as a favourite to win the CL, but they could make a surprise.
My interest is in the Arsenal vs FC Porto game. Despite the goal deficit, I expect Arsenal to put up an electrifying performance and advance to the next round.
It was a tough one between Porto and Arsenal in UEFA champions League second league 2023/2024 season tonight, the both team have a second leg tied on aggregate. Arsenal won through penalty shootout to move pass porto to qualify for the UEFA champions League 2023-2024 season, quarter finals tonight. Excitement in the air for Arsenal fans tonight,thanks to Michael Arteta.Basically, I never imagined that Porto can play quite strong, they even forced Arsenal to play until penalty shootout. Arsenal is in its good form, they are in the top of EPL standings. Porto doesn't perform quite well in its domestic league, they are only in 3rd place. It is surprising that Porto makes Arsenal be difficult to qualify for the next round. We know that EPL is much better than Portugal league. However, Arsenal finally goes to the next round, they won penalty shootout. Congratulation for Arsenal fans!
That was definitely a game to watch. I really didn't expected Arsenal to win it in the end by some point, I thought they would win before the game, but when you watch the game it became a little bit confusing, it looked like they might actually lose. In any case, I got my bet winning so I am happy either case, but Arsenal really needs to work on this tournament schedule thing, they are so great when its league, but when it comes to cups, they are not so great at knock out stage games. They got by with very thin margins this time around, but they could face so much trouble in next stages if they keep this up.
It was a tight match played by both teams, and Arsenal was lucky enough because they managed to win the match on penalties. Their defeat in the first leg required them to work harder in the second leg and the results were quite encouraging for them.It was a tough one between Porto and Arsenal in UEFA champions League second league 2023/2024 season tonight, the both team have a second leg tied on aggregate.

Arsenal for the first time after 2010, was able to qualify to the quarter finals stage yesterday with a penalty shootout. Porto shouldn't be upset, because penalty is a game of luck, and the unexpected team wins sometimes. Arsenal need to improve on their attackers, if they want to qualify from the quarter final stage, because they might meet a stronger club than Porto, who Arsenal managed to win. It was an interesting 120 minutes match, and each of the team played pretty good.It was a tight match played by both teams, and Arsenal was lucky enough because they managed to win the match on penalties.

Porto itself actually played not bad, but considering Arsenal were playing at their own home it was a pressure for Porto. Despite Porto's defeat and their elimination in this round, overall their game did not disappoint.
Napoli has been removed from the poll since they're already eliminated.Barcelona played much better in the second leg, moreover they played at home. So, this really gave certain influences to both teams.
I thought it's going to be an easy one for Inter, but I was very wrong.I was thinking the same thing and all predictions I had was for Inter to go in next round.
Barcelona played much better than Napoli today, but next round is going to be much harder for them.There won't be any next round for Barcelona and Napoli since they have met against each other twice, which Barcelona won by 4-2 aggregate.
Arsenal won against Porto only after extra time and penalties, and we have only two more matches left in this round. :'(
Inter and Dortmund are my favorites but anything can happen and I expect to see lot of goals tomorow.
What a shame. I thought Inter was in a very good spot to win the CL, they were among my favourites. They are almost sure to win Serie-A with 16 points advantage over 2nd Milan and only 1 loss in the league, so they could focus entirely on the CL. But Atletico decided not to go down easy and it paid off. Well done to them, but I don't give them much chance of getting to the final.You are right mate, there wouldn't be any boring game anymore as all the clubs that qualified to the quarter finals are very strong. However, I wouldn't blame Inter that much for not qualifying to the next round because they game ended up in a penalty, and penalty is a game of luck. Of course Inter should have started attacking from the beginning of the match, but rather they choose to play a defenseive game which have cost them their exit from the champions league.
The quarter-final, semi-final and final draws will take place this Friday. Whatever happens, there won't be any boring games.
I was planning to open this topic after the group stages but here we are...It was an exciting game today for Dortmund as the advance over PSV,to the quarter finals of the UEFA champions League, for the first time in 3 years. Let's give it off for Jordan Sancho and Marco Reus, for helping borussia dortmundo advance to the quarter-final of the UEFA champions League 2023/ 2024 season. PSV have the opportunity to equalize but they fail to utilize their opportunity, and they were knockout of the UEFA champions League round of 16.

Even though I also favor them in the UCL this season. And I didn't expect Atletico Madrid to be able to beat them. Even though Atletico Madrid last season even failed in the group stage. But this season it seems like everything has changed. Because now Atletico Madrid has also managed to advance to the quarter-finals. And now the teams from LaLiga are the ones who have progressed to the quarter-finals the most. And yes, this is progress for Spanish clubs.
The quarter-final, semi-final and final draws will take place this Friday. Whatever happens, there won't be any boring games.
I'm really surprised that Athletico Madrid were able to eliminate inform Inter Milan at the end,the game was so tough that I thought Milan might win at the later end,but the reverse is the case.Congratulations to Athletico for qualifying,they will be hoping not to meet a team like Mancity,Real Madrid or Arsenal, because if they do,they know they are going to be eliminated.What a shame.

There is nothing shameful about Inter Milan not advancing. The better team won and that is the nature of football. Everything playing in the Champions League is a giant in their local league and so offset cannot be ruled out. Congrats to Atletico Madrid and the rest teams that qualified.
Yes, it is a very long time that Arsenal need to be able to return to even tighter competition in the Champions League and thank you for reminding me, because I myself can't remember the last time Arsenal was in this round in the Champions League.It was a tight match played by both teams, and Arsenal was lucky enough because they managed to win the match on penalties.

Atletico Madrid and Dortmund completed the quarter final teams, next Sunday we are waiting the schedule drawing match and which one become the most interested match in quarter final. La Liga have many teams participants in quarter final than Premier League or Bundesliga, but have bad result for Serie A without participants after Inter Milan and Napoli eliminating from 16 round. Need waiting up to several weeks later for watching the quarter final match and as Madrid fans expected not face Manchester City in quarter final round.All the Italian clubs are put from the Champions League, and Inter was supposed to be the club to represent them, but they could not make it through the round of 16. We have 3 Spanish clubs, 3 German clubs, and 2 English clubs. By tomorrow we will see the draw result and know which clubs will play against themselves in the quarter finals stage.
here the quarter final UEFA Champion League participants teams.

here the quarter final UEFA Champion League participants teams.La Liga sent 3 clubs to the quarter finals. That's exactly great. But, we really admit that they are clubs that really deserve to enter this round. Although perhaps, many people think or hope that Inter will be one of them. However, reality cannot be denied. Atletico Madrid could make it better and they deserve this.
- Real Madrid
- Atletico Madrid
- Barcelona
- Manchester City

The draw for the quarter finals is on March 15 at 11am (UK time).We are really waiting for this.

We have 3 Spanish clubs, 3 German clubs, and 2 English clubs. By tomorrow we will see the draw result and know which clubs will play against themselves in the quarter finals stage.
I hope Atletico Madrid will face Arsenal. The reason I want it is because these two clubs qualified for the quarter-finals thanks to winning in the penalty shootout. So the two deserve to meet. But yeah, everything will depend on the draw later. And yes, I also hope that big teams like Real Madrid and Man City don't meet directly.All the Italian clubs are put from the Champions League, and Inter was supposed to be the club to represent them, but they could not make it through the round of 16.

Italian league clubs only qualify for the Europa League, the second League :(
PSG is from France, not Germany. So the Bundesliga is only represented by two clubs, namely Bayer and Dortmund.
And yeah, the draw will be a long-awaited time, I hope Real Madrid and City will not meet in the quarter-finals.
The semifinals or final round are worthy places for both teams
Let's wait and see...
It's a shame that 2 team that have been anticipated to have a highest chance of winning, Man City and Real Madrid will play against each other in the quarter final. I think many were hoping for these two to meet in the final.
I think, Man City will make it to go through, but it won't be easy, especially given the competition in Premier League is super-tight, with 3 teams having almost the same number of points. Real currently has a comfy 7 points advantage over Girona in LaLiga. If they keep it they would be able to rest their key players before games against Man City.
Little disappointed with the quarter final Champion League drawing match because the most ideal final dreaming between Manchester City vs Real Madrid have been over. Both team will face on quarter final round and the winner will face Bayern Munich or Arsenal in the semifinal round.Before Manchester City vs Real Madrid is reached, it looks like there are still several matches in other tournaments. If one of these teams does not maintain their performance well then in this match they will lose. I predict that both of them will exert their strength, especially as you have said, Real Last season, Madrid lost to Manchester City, so I am sure that when that match occurs, Real Madrid will use all its best strength to face Manchester City.
I so excited to see Manchester City vs Real Madrid in the final round of Champion League season 2023/24 but both team have face early on quarter final round. Madrid's fans had bad memorize last season defeated by Manchester City on the semifinal round, will the same result for this season or Madrid will success beat Manchester City?
I reeeaally hate it when City and Madrid face each other before finals. In any case, one of the teams that is probably the highest favorites to win it, will not even see semi finals, that feels horrible. In any case, I think its normal for people to be happy about these quarter finalists, its definitely going to be fun to watch without a doubt, and I think its going to mean so much for people when they can take a break and watch some high quality football. Life is already as hard as it is, to take 2 hours or so from your life to watch these games, and relax for just two hours, is an amazing feeling. My only regret is that, each game is not at different times, so we could have watched it all.The most important thing between Manchester City and Real Madrid is not whether they meet in the finals or not. The most important thing is who wins irrespective of where they meet be it in group match or during the round 16 or and 8. When will just remember that Real Madrid and Manchester City must surely meet in the Champions League it makes our expectation high and Champions League more fun. About two seasons ago the met and it favored Real Madrid, just last season Manchester City mad mess of Real Madrid we are just very anxious of what happens next this time around. I will always enjoy the meeting of the English giant and Spanish giant irrespective of the timing of the meeting it will surely be interesting.
All the teams currently in the quarter finals in the uefa champions league are strong. And these matches will be played with the most competition and each team will make a strong attack to advance to the semi-finals. And it is very difficult for all the teams who have drawn the match to reach the semi-final match by winning the match. So every match of Champions League which is going to be held now is going to be interesting.This is are all interesting draws that one can't afford to miss.So many eyes are on the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich,and they think Bayern will end the existence in the Champions league this season,but with Arsenal's form,and with what Bayern 've done to Arsenal in the past,I think Arsenal will be out to prove doubters wrong,and to show them they are more than capable of winning something great this season.The spirit is there,the team work is there,the unity and love is there,and I think they also have the quality they never had before to be able to challenge for the tittle this season.

It's the beauty of an open draw. You get whatever comes and that includes the strongest teams clashing early in the tournament. Both teams can only hope that their best players will be available in both legs.It's a shame that 2 team that have been anticipated to have a highest chance of winning, Man City and Real Madrid will play against each other in the quarter final. I think many were hoping for these two to meet in the final.

Damn...This will be the final. Every year Madrid gets the hardest drawing.
I'm not ready for this match and I hope Don Carlo won’t fuck up on the starting line-up.
But this is an exciting game, A fascinating clash of titans showcasing contrasting styles and philosophies, sparking debates on football strategy and execution.
The beauty of the sport lies in these intricate battles unfolding on the grand stage. Let’s hope for the best...
Updated odds for the outright Champions' League winner:For Manchester City, I wasn't surprised, but I was surprised when Real Madrid was behind Arsenal to win the title this season, because in my opinion Real Madrid actually had a bigger chance than Arsenal. But they may have other thoughts about this.
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/03/16/J6A61.png)
Man City, the current champion, being the favourite here does not surprise me, but the disproportions between their odds and the odds for other teams seem a bit strange to me. I don't think Man City is that much better than Arsenal or Real Madrid. I'd expect pay-out rates to be much closer to each other.
Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.
Any thoughts?

Bayern Munich always has a good history in UCL every season although they may fail to win the trophy. With Harry Kane in Bayern Munich squad this season, I think Bayern Munich has the ability to reach the final. Against Arsenal, Harry Kane must know well how to deal with Arsenal defense. Harry Kane was playing in EPL, he must be familiar with Arsenal game style.
It's a shame that 2 team that have been anticipated to have a highest chance of winning, Man City and Real Madrid will play against each other in the quarter final.

But in reality the two of them actually had to meet each other in the quarter-finals. I'm also pretty sure Man City will win. Real Madrid they are strong. But sometimes the effectiveness of their attacks decreases. In contrast to Man City, they rarely lose focus in attacking.

My picks/guesses for winners of other pairs: PSG, Atletico, Bayern

In the other batch Manchester City, Madrid, Bayern Munich are the top teams will be eliminated in the final because one of them will qualify to final round.
As for the other matches, it's still difficult for me to guess. But about PSG I'm not sure they can go further.
Well, it's true, I think their meeting was too soon, because I also expected them to meet in the final round, but the results of the draw say they have to meet in the quarter-finals. Of course this is not in accordance with what we expected.One thing I also hope is that Man City will not meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Last season, Madrid faced Manchester City in the semifinal and have eliminated with aggregate bigger score above 5-1 and wish this time Madrid can defeat Manchester City and qualify until final stage.
Last season it was Manchester City who got rid of Real Madrid, and 2 seasons before that it was Real Madrid who got rid of Manchester City. It will be very interesting to see who is eliminated in this round, and it is definitely difficult for us to predict that.

The crucial is Arteta’s decision on the lineup.
I have found the inexperience of some players in UCL, especially Saka when against Porto.
And if Trossard was not there then Arsenal won’t be talking about the UCL quarter-final.
BTW. Bayern was chasing Raya, Rice, and Havertz in the summer, but now they are forced to face them in the Champions League.
Get ready for some intense action...
I'm not sure what will happen in this season. Sometimes, they are beyond our expectations.Last season it was Manchester City who got rid of Real Madrid, and 2 seasons before that it was Real Madrid who got rid of Manchester City. It will be very interesting to see who is eliminated in this round, and it is definitely difficult for us to predict that.
The big day is ahead, I have to stock up on snacks and stress balls. It's like a rollercoaster with extra anxiety and fewer seatbelts :)
As it stands, Arsenal is a better side this season than Bayern. Even with Bayern's experience, it would take a moment to eliminate them, and that moment might be this season.I also thought like this. But, if Arsenal's performance is not far from the previous match in Round 16, I am not sure they will beat Bayern easily.
Man City looks like the better team right now but there are still other factors to consider in this match up. One of that is their current position in the domestic league. Real Madrid has at least two games in La Liga to rest their best players and prepare for the Champions League but Man City do not have the same luxury because of Arsenal and Liverpool.I'm not sure what will happen in this season. Sometimes, they are beyond our expectations.Last season it was Manchester City who got rid of Real Madrid, and 2 seasons before that it was Real Madrid who got rid of Manchester City.

The big day is ahead, I have to stock up on snacks and stress balls. It's like a rollercoaster with extra anxiety and fewer seatbelts :)
But, I don't think Real Madrid will make it this season. If we consider several reasons, Man City should be much further ready, stronger lineups, and also squad entirely. They have Haaland, de Bruyne, and you can see more on lineup, they are much more tough.
These are my predictions for all the games: Arsenal advance, real Madrid advance, Barcelona advance and Atletico advance to semi-finals. There's my opinion.That's some brave picks. What makes you believe Bayern Munich will lose to Arsenal, or PSG beating Barca? City vs Madrid is also quite different from my personal prediction. Bayern Munich is in an upward trend recently, and while they don't always play good football it is evident that Arsenal is not that great on the UCL. Needing to win on extra time against Porto shows that they can struggle against team that defend well. Against City and Liverpool, they managed to win due to defensive errors iirc, so they need a little bit luck if they want to do the same thing against Bayern.
Who knows if it will be a revenge time for Madrid to City. It is just too soon for us to see these two giants clash in the quarter finals, which will make one of them to be eliminated out of the league. Walker will not be giving Vini any chance to penetrate their defense from his wing, and we saw that last season. However, Vini has improved better than last season, and he can strike from outside the 18 yard box without getting into the box, which makes him more dangerous. I feel that the winner in this match will be the club to win the Champions League, because that day will be like the final day match.Man City looks like the better team right now but there are still other factors to consider in this match up. One of that is their current position in the domestic league. Real Madrid has at least two games in La Liga to rest their best players and prepare for the Champions League but Man City do not have the same luxury because of Arsenal and Liverpool.I'm not sure what will happen in this season. Sometimes, they are beyond our expectations.Last season it was Manchester City who got rid of Real Madrid, and 2 seasons before that it was Real Madrid who got rid of Manchester City. It will be very interesting to see who is eliminated in this round, and it is definitely difficult for us to predict that.
The big day is ahead, I have to stock up on snacks and stress balls. It's like a rollercoaster with extra anxiety and fewer seatbelts :)
But, I don't think Real Madrid will make it this season. If we consider several reasons, Man City should be much further ready, stronger lineups, and also squad entirely. They have Haaland, de Bruyne, and you can see more on lineup, they are much more tough.
Who knows if it will be a revenge time for Madrid to City. It is just too soon for us to see these two giants clash in the quarter finals, which will make one of them to be eliminated out of the league.

I'm not sure what will happen in this season. Sometimes, they are beyond our expectations.If we analyze the squad quality, I agree that Man City seems more ready to win the UCL trophy this season. Man City looks having good players in every line, they are still the strongest squad in UCL. Man City also has no problem with injured players now, the injured players have recovered. Meanwhile Real Madrid still has some key players who are injured for a long time. I doubt they will miss the chance to play in important match against Man City.

yeah, it's too early. And many were disappointed with the lottery results. But this is what makes things interesting. Even last season I hoped that Real Madrid would not meet Man City in the semi-finals. But instead they met. And this time they even met earlier, namely in the quarter-finals and well, this was beyond everyone's expectations.One thing I also hope is that Man City will not meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. But in reality the two of them actually had to meet each other in the quarter-finals. I'm also pretty sure Man City will win. Real Madrid they are strong. But sometimes the effectiveness of their attacks decreases. In contrast to Man City, they rarely lose focus in attacking.I think too early with Madrid have to face Manchester City and the drawing quarter final format not balance yet to be final with other batch most of weakness team. In the other batch Manchester City, Madrid, Bayern Munich are the top teams will be eliminated in the final because one of them will qualify to final round.
As for the other matches, it's still difficult for me to guess. But about PSG I'm not sure they can go further.
Last season, Madrid faced Manchester City in the semifinal and have eliminated with aggregate bigger score above 5-1 and wish this time Madrid can defeat Manchester City and qualify until final stage.
I hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.What's wrong with the 1-0 score line? I would rather see Finals like that than a high scoring game with plenty of defensive lapses. If you cannot appreciate the defense from these types of games, then you are free to switch to watching the NBA.

Bayern Munich is in an upward trend recently, and while they don't always play good football it is evident that Arsenal is not that great on the UCL. Needing to win on extra time against Porto shows that they can struggle against team that defend well. Against City and Liverpool, they managed to win due to defensive errors iirc, so they need a little bit luck if they want to do the same thing against Bayern.

In fact, I would like to see the final match go to extra rounds and they can win in the extra rounds. I agree with you that I would like to see the final match be tight like that. But of course they have to play openly and attack, not play too carefully which will make the game monotonous.I hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.What's wrong with the 1-0 score line?

There is nothing wrong with a 1-0 final result, and there is nothing wrong with expecting to see a different result to the previous 4 finals.Yep. It is not a big deal if the match ends with 1-0.
Why was I advised to watch the NBA because of that comment lol, everyone has their own way of enjoying a match.
A result of 1-0 = does not mean the match will definitely be boring or tense, and a high-scoring game doesn't necessarily mean there are a lot of mistakes with the defense.

And for 3 consecutive years there have always been England clubs in the final round.
I don't mind extra time or penalty shootouts. I don't know about playing openly because important games like this are usually a mix of tight defense and counter-attacks. I won't be surprised if a single and winning goal is scored via a free kick, a corner, or a penalty.~In fact, I would like to see the final match go to extra rounds and they can win in the extra rounds.

English teams are always the best teams to qualify for the final phase of the final because we know clubs from the EPL have much better quality but I feel this season there is also one where they can finish in the final again.It is no problem whether the English teams or the teams from other leagues to be in the final.
My prediction is that Real Madrid or Manchester City will qualify for the final.Agree. The winner of the match between Man City vs Real Madrid will be as the candidate of the champion.
Agree. The winner of the match between Man City vs Real Madrid will be as the candidate of the champion.Right, the strong candidate become the Champion League winner is Manchester City or Real Madrid will face each other on quarter final round. For Manchester City, they had faced difficult drawing match since last season,
I hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.Well I understand what you mean. Because in the final match both teams played very carefully. But even though the result was more 1-0. But strangely the Finals are always very interesting. In a normal match, a 1-0 result is always boring. But in a 1-0 final it also still showed good play from both clubs. But I understand that sometimes we need different things that can make the atmosphere in the final match hotter. And matches that produce a lot of goals are always more interesting.

Like you said, 1-0 shows that both teams are strong, amd they are worth to play the finals. This is because any finals that ha e so much goal would not be interesting. But the 1-0 will put everyone in tension and hope that the losing team might be able to equalize the goal. Let's see how this season final would end and the amount of goals. I cannot predict who will win the finals until the quarter final plays out.I hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.Well I understand what you mean.

For this season, I think madrid has better chance for qualifying to final and winning the champion league tittle this season than Manchester City, they has focus on domestic league because huge pressure from Arsenal and Liverpool.Manchester City can still focus on the Premier League and Champions League, and by the end of the season, you see them winning both league's trophies.
Are you aware the Manchester City player Kyle Walker is on injury, during the match played yesterday in Wembly stadium against Brazil. This will affect the performance of the club in the two competitions. I don't think that this season would be like last season for City, because they were more stronger last season than this season.For this season, I think madrid has better chance for qualifying to final and winning the champion league tittle this season than Manchester City, they has focus on domestic league because huge pressure from Arsenal and Liverpool.Manchester City can still focus on the Premier League and Champions League, and by the end of the season, you see them winning both league's trophies.
We saw them do that last season by winning Tremble trophies, we can see them repeating the same thing this season if possible.
Manchester City is not a small club you would say because of the pressure they are facing from the Premier League to lift its trophy would make them not focus on lifting the Champions League if possible.
If Manchester City should win Real Madrid in their home and away match, consider them the Champions League winner without losing their Premier League
I think in the quater finals,there won't be much goals,and every team will be careful of not conceding goals so that they can stand a chance of qualifying from that round of the game.I hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.What's wrong with the 1-0 score line?

I'm not surprised at all that Arsenal is a favourite against Bayern. Arsenal's stats in the Champions League group stage look better than Bayern's. Although Bayern has earned 16 points, and Arsenal 13, I think the German team had an easier group. In terms of average goals per game scored and lost, the stats suggest Arsenal is better in both offence and defence:Well, I think this is normal. considering that Arsenal is in the Premier League and is even at the top of the current standings, even above Man City. So it is very natural to see that Arsenal will be favourites. But this season, Bayern is not even at the top of the Bundesliga. It's just that the performance of both at UCL is actually quite equal. but if i had to bet then i would choose to bet on arsenal.
Arsenal: 2.7 scored and 0.7 lost
Bayern: 2.0 scored and 1.0 lost
The same stats for league games are at a similar level, but it's hard to disagree that the Premier League is much stronger than the Bundesliga.
That being said, it's a bit concerning that Arsenal struggled to get past Porto, as they needed a penalty shootout to go through, and I think Bayern is a better team than Porto.
Well, I think this is normal. considering that Arsenal is in the Premier League and is even at the top of the current standings, even above Man City. So it is very natural to see that Arsenal will be favourites. But this season, Bayern is not even at the top of the Bundesliga. It's just that the performance of both at UCL is actually quite equal. but if i had to bet then i would choose to bet on arsenal.Bayern Munich seems to have no enthusiasm anymore and prefers to remain in second place in the Bundesliga this season, because if you look at the difference in points between the positions of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, there is a 10 point difference in victory.
^ There are teams that won the Champions League even though they struggled to compete in their respective domestic league. Di Matteo's 2012 Chelsea comes to mind and who could forget how many times Real Madrid had done that too?This will not affect the preparations of these two teams, I mean they will still prepare as well as possible for the match they will play, there is no reason for them not to prepare for this match as well as possible.
Bayern could be satisfied settling for second place in Bundesliga while Arsenal do not have that same option in the Premier League right now. How do you think that's going to affect preparation of both teams?

This means that Bayern Munich must always win in the next match until this season ends. I am sure for Bayern Munich this is not easy to do, therefore I am sure they will only maintain their position in second place until this season's Bundesliga is finished.
I hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.Well, the expectation of finals is to witness a tough match and not the one to see many goals happening in the said final match. What people are after is to see who wins the finals and go home with the trophy. Whether the finals ends in a goal or many goals or even penalty shootout, it doesn't matter because what would enter into history is that said team wins the finals and that's what counts and not by the number of goals scored.

Correct. Maybe for Bayern they just need to maintain their current position in second place in the Bundesliga. Because Leverkusen has not been defeated there until now. And with such a large difference in points, Bayern also realized that this season would belong to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. So Bayern might fight harder in the UCL.Well, I think this is normal. considering that Arsenal is in the Premier League and is even at the top of the current standings, even above Man City.

Instead of focusing entirely on the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich should be focusing entirely on the Champions League right now. Bundesliga Bayern Munich is not in a good position at all and is in the second position of the points table. At the moment, they have enough points gap with the team that is number one in the points table. It is assumed that until the end of the season, the position of Bayern Munich may be in the second position of the points table. Since Bayern Munich's position is more likely to be second in the points table, if they fully focus on the Champions League, Bayern Munich will have a lot of chances to do well in the Champions League. Bayern Munich are trying to regain the Bundesliga title but this season may prove to be a tough one for them to regain the title.Well, I think this is normal. considering that Arsenal is in the Premier League and is even at the top of the current standings, even above Man City.

Bayern Munich is no more interested in winning their domestic league, because the chance of winning it is very slim. This will make them focus more on the champions league to see how far they can go this season. This is why it might be difficult for Arsenal to win them and qualify to the semifinals, because Arsenal is still chasing EPL title as they are still first on the day, and that can be a distraction for them.Well, I think this is normal. considering that Arsenal is in the Premier League and is even at the top of the current standings, even above Man City.

Your opinion concerning why Bayern Munich should be more focused on the UEFA Champions League competition instead of the German Bundesliga is absolutely valid and I buy the same idea with you mate. Bayern Munich started the season on a very good note both in the German Bundesliga and in the UEFA Champions League but during the course of the season, they started underperforming in the German league which mafe them to drop so many points which resulted to their current position in the league. Bayern Munich is 10 points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen and considering the fact that Bayer Leverkusen which is managed by Xabi is yet to lose lla league game after 26 matches, I don't think they're gonna let Bayern Munich catch up with them in the league title table talk more winning the league ahead of them.Instead of focusing entirely on the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich should be focusing entirely on the Champions League right now.

That's true but playing out a magical drama in the finals of every competition is most welcomed. One of the most magical finals in the champions league I have witnessed would be the Real Madrid LaDecima final game, I mean the atmosphere was filled with emotions as Madrid manage to squeeze themselves and get a goal in the hours of the game at normal time but later destroyed Athletico Madrid during the added extra timesI hope we don't see another 1-0 full time result in the final round, for 4 consecutive seasons the final result in the Champions League has always been 1-0.Well, the expectation of finals is to witness a tough match and not the one to see many goals happening in the said final match.

Right, the strong candidate become the Champion League winner is Manchester City or Real Madrid will face each other on quarter final round.Indeed. It is because most people predicted Man City and Real Madrid will be in the final round. People have a strong reason to predict this because Man City and Real Madrid have the strongest squads and they have good history in UCL. Sadly, they must fight one another in this round.
For this season, I think madrid has better chance for qualifying to final and winning the champion league tittle this season than Manchester City, they has focus on domestic league because huge pressure from Arsenal and Liverpool.I don't know which team to have a higher chance. I only see both Man City and Real Madrid have the same chance.

However, the goal from Ramos' header buried their dreams because it was a disaster goal.
Yes, and it is possible that with Bayern focusing more on the UCL, it could make Bayern superior to Arsenal, who actually still have to concentrate on the Premier League because they are competing closely with Man City and Liverpool. But the UCL is always difficult to predict, especially when talking about the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals in the UCL which are always full of surprises.Correct. Maybe for Bayern they just need to maintain their current position in second place in the Bundesliga. Because Leverkusen has not been defeated there until now. And with such a large difference in points, Bayern also realized that this season would belong to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. So Bayern might fight harder in the UCL.Bayern Munich opportunity by winning Bundesliga almost over after remaining 10 points from Bayern Leverkusen with unbeaten performance, seems forget for winning domestic league and Bayern have to fight with Champion League as the only one tittle left. Its become bad record for Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich always get one or two trophies every season but after losing from Bayern Leverkusen in domestic league I think they have focus for winning champion league.
In quarter final lead head to head when facing Arsenal could be good capital for winning on the first and second legs matches before facing Manchester City or Real Madrid in semifinal.

The champions league is like another world entirely for some team and no matter how bad they perform in their respective league their performance always changes when they face any team in the champions league. Sometimes you might want to judge a team by how badly they have been performing in their league and maybe the other have been doing exceedingly well but when the two teams face off the end result might shock you because the poorly performed team might turn out to be the winner.Of course the Champions League is a place where all the big surprises can happen.

One of the things that can make us see this is when they have very high motivation when they are in the Champions League, because they know that this is the biggest competition in Europe and it is very difficult to get a place there.Of course the Champions League is a place where all the big surprises can happen.

Sometimes you might want to judge a team by how badly they have been performing in their league and maybe the other have been doing exceedingly well but when the two teams face off the end result might shock you because the poorly performed team might turn out to be the winner.

Atletico Madrid proved it to us in the round of 16 when they beat Inter Milan. In terms of performance, Inter Milan is actually better than Atletico Madrid, but the match is not determined by their performance, but is determined by what they can do on the field.
So that's what makes many teams fight for at least a place in the Champions League, it is a stage for them even though they failed in the group stage, but at least they can show that they are capable of breaking through and being there.One of the things that can make us see this is when they have very high motivation when they are in the Champions League, because they know that this is the biggest competition in Europe and it is very difficult to get a place there.
Yep. The Champions League is the main caste championship on the European Continent and is a championship full of prestige.
The Champions League is also a benchmark for a club's success in achieving achievements.
Apart from that, the financial factor or value of the prizes is quite tempting for the participating clubs.
Prize money incentives are calculated from each stage of the competition, from the preliminary round to the final.
So that's what makes many teams fight for at least a place in the Champions League, it is a stage for them even though they failed in the group stage, but at least they can show that they are capable of breaking through and being there.Financial factors are always important in everything. Including in the world of football, of course. For example, Barcelona also experienced a setback after they were in an unstable financial situation. And Juventus is also experiencing the same thing this season. But there are also teams that have strong financial strength but are still unable to maximize the strength of the squad they have. Well it's quite varied. but if a club wins in the UCL then it is certain that they will also get big financial benefits. Apart from prizes as champion, there are also many other things. Like from advertisements and so on.
Of course, the financial factors they will receive are also tempting, they can use this as capital to improve their squad in the coming season. Because one of the factors that cannot be separated from football is the financial factor.

Usually if the clubs win they get huge benefits as a last minute prize and many big companies advertise with them. There is a lot of money in these ads that generate huge sums of money, and gambling sites in particular gravitate towards them. So it is very easy for a club to be financially strong if it can perform well throughout the season.
You give a good example when you say Barcelona, because as we can see Barcelona's current problems are closely related to their finances, and that has a big influence on their performance.So that's what makes many teams fight for at least a place in the Champions League, it is a stage for them even though they failed in the group stage, but at least they can show that they are capable of breaking through and being there.Financial factors are always important in everything.

This is an example for other teams, because if they cannot manage their finances well then they will have financial problems in the future. And that will have a huge impact on their overall appearance. This is something that football clubs must not forget.
In every stage of Champions League every team tries their best and after trying their best those who perform very well go to the next round but those whose performance is of average quality do not go to the next round. A total of eight teams have now qualified for the quarter finals out of 16 teams in the Champions League competition. The top four teams from these 8 teams will again qualify for the semi-finals and the best two teams from the four teams will qualify for the finals and the best team from the tournament will win the title. Out of the 8 teams that have qualified for the quarter finals, any team like Manchester City or Real Madrid is going to be eliminated as Manchester City and Real Madrid will meet each other in the quarter finals.Of course the Champions League is a place where all the big surprises can happen. No matter how bad their performance is in the domestic league, when they are in the Champions League they will perform as well as possible.Yes, and it is possible that with Bayern focusing more on the UCL, it could make Bayern superior to Arsenal, who actually still have to concentrate on the Premier League because they are competing closely with Man City and Liverpool. But the UCL is always difficult to predict, especially when talking about the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals in the UCL which are always full of surprises.UCL always difficult to predict although some team bad performed in domestic league has motivate for winning in champion league, Atletico Madrid show us how difference motivate between domestic league and champion league although has inconsistency performance in domestic league success defeating Inter Milan has quit well performance in domestic league and lead top position with many points left.
Bayern get motivate defeating Arsenal and UCL the last chance for getting tittle this season.
Atletico Madrid proved it to us in the round of 16 when they beat Inter Milan. In terms of performance, Inter Milan is actually better than Atletico Madrid, but the match is not determined by their performance, but is determined by what they can do on the field.
~You should stop posting the obvious things to make it appear you are posting something that is of value to the thread. Who doesn't know the tournament set up? You are not talking to noobs/newbies of Champions League.

It's true, business and football cannot be separated from each other, they will continue to go hand in hand so the team must be able to have very good management to be able to manage it, because if not then be prepared for a situation where their finances will be difficult.You give a good example when you say Barcelona, because as we can see Barcelona's current problems are closely related to their finances, and that has a big influence on their performance.

Football is an industry that not only provides entertainment for society but also provides a living for millions of people throughout the world.
Football clubs as industry players must have more careful and accountable financial management.
Barcelona is a bad example of a club management system that does not limit their spending within normal limits.
If they had followed UEFA's rules regarding financial fair play more strictly, the problems they are currently facing would not have occurred
If City played against a weaker team this time around so that they could face a harder opponent later on the season when the schedule is less compact, they may had a chance, and to be fair they are Manchester City so they always have a chance. But looking at the current moment, even without a proper striker, I feel like Real Madrid has a better chance. Give City a break before the game and you will see their best, but they are going to play their third game within a week or something when they play against Madrid, which is a lot and I fear that they may not be at their best on the long run.
Yep. Real Madrid was fortunate because they acted as hosts in the first leg. Apart from the home advantage, Real Madrid had a longer preparation time than City in this match.Madrid has advantage with host for the first leg match and get free schedule one week more after last match against Athletic Bilbao on 1st April and get 10 days left before facing Manchester City. But problem with Manchester City have three days rest after facing Crystal Palace will away against Real Madrid.
And Real Madrid also has a better record against Manchester City when competing at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Galacticos has won three of five meetings at the Santiago Bernabeu since the 2012/13 season.
As a Real Madrid fan, I don't think it's an advantage to play the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final game at home while playing the last game of the tie at Manchester City home. Unless Real Madrid wins the first leg with a convincing goal difference, I don't think they'll be able to win the tie because the second leg of the encounter which will take place at Etihad stadium will be played in front of Manchester City supporters so I expect them to get a good result in the second leg. However, I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will eliminate Manchester City and progress to the next roundYep. Real Madrid was fortunate because they acted as hosts in the first leg.

For top teams have adapt well with busy schedule match and their manager make rotation before on domestic league match, but Real Madrid get advantage and must win for the first leg match if want make more easy with second leg if can win above two or three goals.
It doesn't look like last weekend's league results had any impact on the odds of an outright UCL winner. Odds for Man City dropped slightly from x2.80 to 2.85 after 0-0 draw against Arsenal at home.Even though there is a decrease in opportunities, it is not a very deep decrease and in my opinion it is still normal when Manchester City decreases in opportunities. However, even if their chances decrease, it will not affect the course of the match.
Odds for Bayern and Dortmund remain unchanged despite Borussia surprisingly beating Bayern 0-2 in an away game and are x8.0 and x26.0 respectively. I guess bookies either don't put too much weight on the direct league games between teams still participating in the UCL, or maybe they consider Borussia's win as pure luck.
Odds for Borussia winning the next game in Madrid against Atletico are x4.70 which is starting to look like a potentially good bet.
For top teams have adapt well with busy schedule match and their manager make rotation before on domestic league match, but Real Madrid get advantage and must win for the first leg match if want make more easy with second leg if can win above two or three goals.Real Madrid just like Arsenal will have to make good use of the home advantage in the first leg before going for the second leg which will not be easier. The games are just a few days left, and the coaches have been getting ready for this game by ensuring not to over play the key players they have to prevent injuries and fatigue.
As a Real Madrid fan, I don't think it's an advantage to play the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final game at home while playing the last game of the tie at Manchester City home.

However, I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will eliminate Manchester City and progress to the next roundAgree. Actually, it is better to play away first for the Leg 1. The result of Leg 1 won't be the final aggregate, so there is still a chance in Leg 2. But the result in Leg 2 will determine whether a team to qualify or be eliminated from the competition. That's why in Leg 2, both teams will try to play all out, specifically for the team which is behind by the number of goals.
Things are not looking too rosy for Bayern ahead of their Tuesday's away game against Arsenal. First, they suffered a 0-2 loss to Dortmund last week and now they've lost 3-2 to Heidenheim, despite leading 0-2 in the first half.Bayern continues to get bad results in the Bundesliga. And now everyone is starting to doubt Bayern. It's just that sometimes performance in the domestic league can be different from performance in the UCL. But Arsenal now really makes us trust them more. Holding Man City to a draw and beating Brighton with a big score is proof that Arteta's squad can indeed be the team that surprises everyone in the UCL this season.
In contrast, Arsenal scored another easy 3 points by comfortably beating Brighton 0-3 in an away game, which put them in the Premier League leading position, meaning the team's morale is probably super high right now.
Unless Bayern manages to snap out of their poorer form, they could get executed by Arsenal on Tuesday, as the London's team is very consistent this season and they surely know how to capitalise on opponents' mistakes.
Bayern continues to get bad results in the Bundesliga. And now everyone is starting to doubt Bayern.

Update score Champions LeagueThe scoreline tonight in the game between Real Madrid and Manchester City is something I never thought of would happen because I fancied the home team to crush Pep Guardiola Manchester City. This is without doubt one of the toughest games of the season in the UEFA Champions League competition. The away team opened the scoring but couldn't maintain their lead for long time as they allowed Real Madrid to equalize and even take the lead before halftime. In the second half of the game, I thought Real Madrid would further extend their lead but to my surprise, Manchester City scored two more goals in the game to overturn the deficit before Federico Valverde scored the last goal of the game. The second leg will take place at Manchester City's home ground and I expect a tougher game than we saw tonight.
It's ongoing
Arsenal vs Bayern Munich
1 2
and also
Real Madrid vs Man City
2 1
It's still on minute of 50' and 47'.
Real Madrid is playing more dominantly this time. I know that being a host for this match is exactly influencing. But, neither Man City or Real Madrid will be influenced enough by the place they are playing. Both are great and excellent clubs. None doubts their strength. Now, whichever that becomes much stronger, able to optimiz3 the chance, and also get more chances to score who will win this match.
Although right now, both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are ahead or leading, this doesn't guarantee that they are the winner. Still many times to even be changing the result
Even at that real Madrid still tried and getting the draw is still not as bad as losing at home to Manchester city because when they get to Etihad stadium, the standard will be up and the they would need a straight win for them to qualify, I know even now a win is needed but at least the two teams are going to be the ones fighting for the win . From Manchester city point of view, they really out did themselves and played exceedingly well and with this results the pressure is now on real Madrid.If City played against a weaker team this time around so that they could face a harder opponent later on the season when the schedule is less compact, they may had a chance, and to be fair they are Manchester City so they always have a chance.

Of course, there is nobody that is having a higher advantage than the other, because it was a 3-3 draw. Etihad stadium would determine who will be the winner of the quarter finals. However, Manchester City can say that they have more advantage of winning the match than Real Madrid, because they are playing at home. Both clubs played impressively, but I never expected much goals in the match.Even at that real Madrid still tried and getting the draw is still not as bad as losing at home to Manchester city because when they get to Etihad stadium, the standard will be up and the they would need a straight win for them to qualify, I know even now a win is needed but at least the two teams are going to be the ones fighting for the win .

Both clubs played impressively, but I never expected much goals in the match.With the level of quality that both team showed the winner of the game will not be determined by the home and away advantage but by the team with the best strategy and tactics. Six goals were recorded in the game, that's a huge record, which proofs that the attackers from the two teams are sound. Real Madrid will plan to do in Etihad what Manchester City came to do in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, just as Arsenal will be planning a raid in Germany.
City has to be more confident now when they head home knowing they did well despite missing some of their key players in the first leg. I think they will open up as the huge favorite in the second leg. It's the same with Bayern Munich after drawing against Arsenal.What I didn't expect was Arsenal being held to a draw by Bayern. But for the draw between Man City and Madrid, I think it is no longer surprising. Because last season the same thing happened. And yes, Man City must now be more confident for the second leg. because they could hold the home team to a draw. So Man City should be superior when they host the second leg.
Depending on the the odds, I might bet on parlay for City and Bayern Munich to advance after leg 2.
Little surprised with Arsenal success being held draw Bayern Munich with usually always got loss bigger score although with home match. Bayern Munich performance very poor in this season from domestic league and had not quit well. Arsenal must improving thier performance on second leg match and seems they have chance for this time make Bayern Munich eliminated from quarter final.City has to be more confident now when they head home knowing they did well despite missing some of their key players in the first leg. I think they will open up as the huge favorite in the second leg. It's the same with Bayern Munich after drawing against Arsenal.What I didn't expect was Arsenal being held to a draw by Bayern.

This victory will be something that will boost Manchester City's morality, because they can hold Real Madrid to a draw and it will be an advantage for them because in the second leg Manchester City will play as hosts.City has to be more confident now when they head home knowing they did well despite missing some of their key players in the first leg.

~I wasn't that surprised. One thing I've realized is that Bayern probably gave up their challenge for the title and shifted their focus on the Champions League. They are only doing enough in Bundesliga to keep their second position but they are full force on CL.
What I didn't expect was Arsenal being held to a draw by Bayern.
Well am still a believer of what the home team crowd can do and I still stand strongly corrected that the home team fans at the Etihad might also offer an edge over the likes of their opponent come the return leg of this fixture. Manchester City have really done well by not losing in the first place so the heat will be on Madrid to simulate what their opponent did at the bernabue of which I strongly believe they can also do because of the vibrant and attacking nature of their team.Of course, there is nobody that is having a higher advantage than the other, because it was a 3-3 draw. Etihad stadium would determine who will be the winner of the quarter finals. However, Manchester City can say that they have more advantage of winning the match than Real Madrid, because they are playing at home.

Manchester City played well without KDB, I am certain that Pep will introduce KDB for the second leg, he can be the difference.
City has to be more confident now when they head home knowing they did well despite missing some of their key players in the first leg. I think they will open up as the huge favorite in the second leg. It's the same with Bayern Munich after drawing against Arsenal.Real Madrid having a draw match at home with Manchester City is not a good result on their side because that will give Manchester the advantage to do everything within their power to make sure they win Real Madrid in the second leg.
Depending on the the odds, I might bet on parlay for City and Bayern Munich to advance after leg 2.
It makes perfect sense when they end up drawing. Because both Real Madrid and Man City are cool, they are all strong and tough. Even though the tactics Ancelotti used might be quite different, this is the result. Whether in the second leg, he will continue to use the same or different tactics. Of course, if you want to win, neither Real Madrid nor Man City can afford to be careless at all. I don't know, because they are both strong and effective, maybe whoever gets a much bigger profit factor, they will win. Yes, because they are both equally strong, it feels like watching the final is just as exciting......Although right now, both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are ahead or leading, this doesn't guarantee that they are the winner.

It is quite interesting to see that the two Spanish teams won their matches today. The one that surprised me was Barcelona winning PSG. I never expected PSG to allow this happen as k was thinking that it would be a draw game. Barcelona now have a upper hand of qualifying to the semifinals, as the return leg would be in Spain. Raphina is a good player and he showed his qualities in today's match.It makes perfect sense when they end up drawing. Because both Real Madrid and Man City are cool, they are all strong and tough.

Now, Currently competing are:

Is it possible for La Liga clubs to get away with it all this time?
~I wasn't that surprised. One thing I've realized is that Bayern probably gave up their challenge for the title and shifted their focus on the Champions League. They are only doing enough in Bundesliga to keep their second position but they are full force on CL.
What I didn't expect was Arsenal being held to a draw by Bayern.
Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, Arsenal I mean what more could anyone ever want from this stage. All four games were amazing and it brought so much joy to everyone. Considering most games were a tie, I would say Barcelona vs PSG was the most entertaining one for me. I would never imagine Barcelona to have this win. Once again, it is proven that Xavi should stay, being second in the league is not bad at all, they won last year, second this year, maybe they can win next year? Plus they might go to semi finals of UCL, in any season Barcelona finishes like that, I would call that a success.Barcelona managed to get a win against PSG because PSG had problems internally which ultimately made them lose the figure of Kylian Mbappé who often gave PSG wins. This was a very bad result for PSG because it was unusual for PSG to be defeated by Barcelona. Hopefully Luis Enrique can evaluate this problem and immediately find a replacement player who has almost the same strength as Mbappe.
~Lose Kylian Mbappé? What are you talking about? If you didn't watch the match, you should at least check the stats/results. For your info, Kylian Mbappé is still part of the team and was actually in the line up that lost against Barcelona in the first leg.

It's also not unusual for Barca to beat PSG. Their head-to-head record before the game is 4 wins for Barca and 4 for PSG (draw 4). Now, Barca has 1 win over PSG.
Yep, you are right. Kylian Mbappé is still part of the team but throughout the match, Mbappe was locked by Jules Kounde.Maybe PSG's journey in the UCL will feel even harder with this defeat in the first leg. Because we can imagine if they fail when playing at home then of course it will be even more difficult for them if they play away at Barcelona's headquarters. But 2-3 on aggregate is not so bad if they can turn things around in the second leg. but we have seen how Xavi's team made a good game in the first leg. So Barcelona in the second leg will certainly be more difficult to face because they are also the hosts of the second leg.
He was unable to move freely and even recorded bad statistics.
Barcelona was sensational and PSG fans were disappointed
This win is an important asset for Barcelona to qualify for the next round.
And now, all eyes of PSG supporters are on the second leg match scheduled for April 17, 2024, and they hope PSG can turn things around.
There is not much time left for the quarter finals of the Champions League and by this time every team has started preparing their squads and working on their weaknesses and the weaknesses of their opponents. While every team is busy preparing their squads, Manchester City and Real Madrid are probably the most tense as these two teams are the strongest teams in the Champions League and these two teams are going to face each other in the quarter finals. The first and second legs between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be the most exciting and perhaps the most watched match between the two teams. Manchester City won the Champions League title last season, so as a Real Madrid fan, I expect Real Madrid to win the Champions League title this season.For top teams have adapt well with busy schedule match and their manager make rotation before on domestic league match, but Real Madrid get advantage and must win for the first leg match if want make more easy with second leg if can win above two or three goals.Real Madrid just like Arsenal will have to make good use of the home advantage in the first leg before going for the second leg which will not be easier. The games are just a few days left, and the coaches have been getting ready for this game by ensuring not to over play the key players they have to prevent injuries and fatigue.
Manchester City still have Kyle Walker who is important injured, Nathan Ake also. Real Madrid have most key players fit for the game. Bayern have injury concerns, Sane and Manuel Neuer are the latest injury problems for Tuchel, their absence can affect the teams play.
Well, regardless if he was non-existent during the match because he was well defended, it is still inaccurate to say he is no longer part of the PSG team.Yep, you are right. Kylian Mbappé is still part of the team but throughout the match, Mbappe was locked by Jules Kounde.~Lose Kylian Mbappé? What are you talking about? If you didn't watch the match, you should at least check the stats/results. For your info, Kylian Mbappé is still part of the team and was actually in the line up that lost against Barcelona in the first leg...
Barcelona managed to get a win against PSG because PSG had problems internally which ultimately made them lose the figure of Kylian Mbappé who often gave PSG wins. This was a very bad result for PSG because it was unusual for PSG to be defeated by Barcelona. Hopefully Luis Enrique can evaluate this problem and immediately find a replacement player who has almost the same strength as Mbappe.
He was unable to move freely and even recorded bad statistics.
~Goodluck with that. Odds for PSG is currently @3.10 for winning the second leg while Barca is @2.10 Those are already good numbers for the home team but I'm pondering on a draw (@3.70)
And now, all eyes of PSG supporters are on the second leg match scheduled for April 17, 2024, and they hope PSG can turn things around.
Atletico Madrid managed to win when they hosted Borussia Dortmund in this first leg, 2-1 was the final score of the match. Atletico Madrid can take advantage of their status as hosts, because with this win they only need to achieve a draw in the second leg.
However, it is not easy for them to do that, because winning by 1 goal does not make them feel very comfortable. Maybe they are more relaxed, but considering that the second leg match will be held at Borussia Dortmund headquarters, it makes them have to work even harder.
Well I don't know about the context of that statement saying it's unusual seeing Barcelona beat PSG, well I would like to refresh your memory that the both teams are currently not in their strongest position although Barcelona looks alot better and even in the game yesterday Barcelona played more with all the possession and holding the ball more so I think the win they had at Paris was indeed a worthy one and I think uts going to very hard for PSG to win at the nou camp in Spain.Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, Arsenal I mean what more could anyone ever want from this stage. All four games were amazing and it brought so much joy to everyone. Considering most games were a tie, I would say Barcelona vs PSG was the most entertaining one for me. I would never imagine Barcelona to have this win. Once again, it is proven that Xavi should stay, being second in the league is not bad at all, they won last year, second this year, maybe they can win next year? Plus they might go to semi finals of UCL, in any season Barcelona finishes like that, I would call that a success.Barcelona managed to get a win against PSG because PSG had problems internally which ultimately made them lose the figure of Kylian Mbappé who often gave PSG wins.

Yes, it was quite unexpected that both of them won. Moreover, Barcelona was able to beat PSG. That seems quite extraordinary. In the end, Barcelona was able to win with a 2 - 3 win over PSG, even when playing at the PSG stadium. and also Atletico Madrid were also able to beat Dortmund at their own home with a score of 2 - 1.Now, Currently competing are:It is quite interesting to see that the two Spanish teams won their matches today. The one that surprised me was Barcelona winning PSG. I never expected PSG to allow this happen as k was thinking that it would be a draw game. Barcelona now have a upper hand of qualifying to the semifinals, as the return leg would be in Spain. Raphina is a good player and he showed his qualities in today's match.
PSG vs Barcelona
2 3
and Atlético Madrid vs Dortmund
2 1
Is it possible for La Liga clubs to get away with it all this time?
~ ~ ~Maybe PSG's journey in the UCL will feel even harder with this defeat in the first leg. Because we can imagine if they fail when playing at home then of course it will be even more difficult for them if they play away at Barcelona's headquarters. But 2-3 on aggregate is not so bad if they can turn things around in the second leg. but we have seen how Xavi's team made a good game in the first leg. So Barcelona in the second leg will certainly be more difficult to face because they are also the hosts of the second leg.

Hopefully Luis Enrique can evaluate this problem and immediately find a replacement player who has almost the same strength as Mbappe.I don't know if it is because of the internal problem in PSG. I think it can be internal problem or other things. Only the coach who knows it very well. But in my point of view, I see the Barcelona players looked more experienced in UCL match. They can have a better mentality during the match. Although PSG could lead first, Barcelona continued playing with their confidence. Finally, they could win the match with 3 goals. But it is not over yet, there is still Leg 2 in Barcelona home. Barcelona players must be careful, PSG still has the chance to eliminate them.
Barcelona got the win against PSG but the good news for PSG is that they didn't lose by a big margin against Barcelona. If psg can do well in the second leg match and if Mbappe can play at his best then reducing this one goal gap is not a very difficult task. PSG lost the first leg and it's all over but it's not like that, PSG still have time and PSG still have chances but they should use those chances properly. The second leg must be treated as a Champions League final for those who have never lost a second leg but must plan to beat Barcelona by a minimum margin of two goals. Since Luis Enrique is at PSG we can expect a second leg match.Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, Arsenal I mean what more could anyone ever want from this stage.

Maybe you're right. Well, the opportunity is still wide open even for PSG. I started to have more open thoughts after seeing Liverpool lose at home to visiting team Atalanta in the Europa League. So PSG might surprise us by beating Barcelona at the Olimpiade Lluís Companys Stadium.~ ~ ~Maybe PSG's journey in the UCL will feel even harder with this defeat in the first leg. Because we can imagine if they fail when playing at home then of course it will be even more difficult for them if they play away at Barcelona's headquarters.

There's still hope, Enrique has one shot to get it right. It's more than possible
It's time to learn from mistakes make a few adjustments in 2nd leg, have proper formation, go all out, and the Barca team can be beaten at home.
But It will be over if PSG makes the same mistakes as in the first leg.
Barcelona is in Good Form They out-classed PSG in everything yesterday.
With their record not being very good when playing away matches, it will be a challenge for Atletico Madrid in the second leg match, they must prepare themselves as best as possible in this match.Atletico Madrid managed to win when they hosted Borussia Dortmund in this first leg, 2-1 was the final score of the match. Atletico Madrid can take advantage of their status as hosts, because with this win they only need to achieve a draw in the second leg.

Atletico is not that strong when away, in the Champions League (this season) they have won once, draw 2 times and lost once.
And from 15 away games in Laliga, they have won 5 times, draw 3 times and lost 7 times.
The Germany clubs are usually very strong and difficult to beat when playing at home,
I guess Dortmund will win with 1-0 or 2-1 and goes to a penalty shootout to determine who will advance to the semifinals.
With their record not being very good when playing away matches, it will be a challenge for Atletico Madrid in the second leg match, they must prepare themselves as best as possible in this match.If Atletico Madrid had been able to finish that game with their two goal lead they would have been traveling to Germany a little more confident than they are right now knowing that before the German club Dortmund will be able to score two goals they would have been able to add some more goals, or adjust their game tactics. Atletico Madrid will be dominated in Germany and will most likely loose that game to Dortmund who will mount the tension from the beginning.
Luckily Atletico Madrid managed to get a win against Girona, winning 3-1 making Atletico Madrid unbeatable in this match. With Atletico Madrid's victory, they managed to get into the top four of the standings and only have a difference of 4 points or at least need two more wins. Atletico will overtake Girona.With their record not being very good when playing away matches, it will be a challenge for Atletico Madrid in the second leg match, they must prepare themselves as best as possible in this match.If Atletico Madrid had been able to finish that game with their two goal lead they would have been traveling to Germany a little more confident than they are right now knowing that before the German club Dortmund will be able to score two goals they would have been able to add some more goals, or adjust their game tactics.

Atletico Madrid were lucky to have won the first leg still, Dortmund would have gotten a draw.

PSG lost the first leg and it's all over but it's not like that, PSG still have time and PSG still have chances but they should use those chances properly.It was not good for PSG although they lost with 1 goal difference only. You must know the Leg 2 will be held in Barcelona home, it should be harder than Leg 1. Barcelona has the advantage for the next match, they must know better their home stadium and will be supported by more fans. Personally, I doubt if PSG can destroy Barcelona in Leg 2, they have missed the opportunity to win at their home. Next match is for Barcelona, they won't miss the chance to go to the next round.
If Barcelona could got the win in psg home , then I don't see them not winning in their home too but there's something about PSG they are always after their second leg which will always be more furious than expected. They are always after attacking and this is done with full effect, Ince their goals are secured, they always changed their gaming style to defensive . That's why it always easy to beat them if the opponent counter attack them in the early time othe match .

It won't be easy for Atletico Madrid to increase the number of goals in the second leg, because Borussia Dormund will certainly not allow their opponents to easily win at their own headquarters.With their record not being very good when playing away matches, it will be a challenge for Atletico Madrid in the second leg match, they must prepare themselves as best as possible in this match.If Atletico Madrid had been able to finish that game with their two goal lead they would have been traveling to Germany a little more confident than they are right now knowing that before the German club Dortmund will be able to score two goals they would have been able to add some more goals, or adjust their game tactics.

Barcelona winning PSG at home is a sure bet, because they were able to win PSG in France, what will PSG play in Spain that will make them win with 2 goals. Barcelona attackers are sharp and there is no way that we would not see a goal from Barcelona. I must say the fact that Barcelona will win them home and away this season. I cannot wait to watch the matches, because this second leg will be tougher than the first leg, since whoever loses based on goal aggregate will go homeIf Barcelona could got the win in psg home , then I don't see them not winning in their home too but there's something about PSG they are always after their second leg which will always be more furious than expected.

PSG always has good moment success come back against Barcelona but this time the second leg match play at Barcelona's home will make difficult for away team.
Updated odds for the outright Champions' League winner:
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/03/16/J6A61.png)
Man City, the current champion, being the favourite here does not surprise me, but the disproportions between their odds and the odds for other teams seem a bit strange to me. I don't think Man City is that much better than Arsenal or Real Madrid. I'd expect pay-out rates to be much closer to each other.
Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.
Any thoughts?

PSG lost the first leg and it's all over but it's not like that, PSG still have time and PSG still have chances but they should use those chances properly.It's a goal defeat margin to PSG but how sure are we that PSG will be able to score more than a goal in Barcelona's home, when Barcelona will be defending with their might that maintaining a goal lead to PSG will keep them ahead and also qualify them to next round of the Champions League match.
Barcelona is leading in their UEFA Champions League quarter tie with a goal after winning their first leg with 3:2 scoreline but many people are of the opinion that Barcelona will find it very difficult to win the tie when they host Paris Saint Germaine on Tuesday night.Barcelona got the win against PSG but the good news for PSG is that they didn't lose by a big margin against Barcelona.

PSG gats to strategies and has good tactics in this second leg if they consider winning against Barcelona at their home
Barcelona is leading in their UEFA Champions League quarter tie with a goal after winning their first leg with 3:2 scoreline but many people are of the opinion that Barcelona will find it very difficult to win the tie when they host Paris Saint Germaine on Tuesday night.Barcelona has advantage after the winning games on the first leg match over 3-2, tonight will face PSG on second leg match and playing on their home make more advantage to secure one place in semifinal round. Although loss on the first leg match but PSG get advantage more taking rest than Barcelona, PSG not plays in domestic league match in this week and they have almost seven days for recovery their physical after the first leg match.
In my own opinion, I think Barcelona will go through even when I know Paris Saint Germaine will give them a tough time. The only factor that can make Paris Saint Germaine win the tie is if Barcelona failed to stop their talisman Kylian Mbappe from performing just like the way he was stopped in the first leg of the tie. Defeating Barcelona at Camp Nou is one of the most difficult task for any club in Europe and I don't think PSG will be able to do that on Tuesday night

Barcelona has few days left after facing Cadiz and want to defend their winning result for tonight match, difficult for predictable who will qualify to semifinal round between Barcelona or PSG?

Although loss on the first leg match but PSG get advantage more taking rest than Barcelona, PSG not plays in domestic league match in this week and they have almost seven days for recovery their physical after the first leg match.Currently Xavi Hernandez has strong motivation to give his best for Barcelona. Because this is his last season at Barcelona. because he will leave after this season is over. And Xavi seems eager to give his best for Barcelona in the UCL. Because in Laliga it seems that Barcelona is already behind Real Madrid by a fairly large difference, namely 8 points. Although the opportunity to overtake Real Madrid still exists with the remaining matches this season. But expecting Real Madrid to drop points in the remainder of the season in Laliga is very difficult. So Xavi will definitely be more enthusiastic about chasing the UCL title. Although very few people like them. But we'll see if Barcelona can be the same surprise as Inter Milan last season, who managed to get to the final without any of us expecting it at all.
Barcelona has few days left after facing Cadiz and want to defend their winning result for tonight match, difficult for predictable who will qualify to semifinal round between Barcelona or PSG?
~Yeah, containing him or limiting his opportunities will be the key for Barca. I'm looking forward to the battle of wits between the managers on how they will make use of their key players. I can also see the game to be decided by a penalty shootout.
The only factor that can make Paris Saint Germaine win the tie is if Barcelona failed to stop their talisman Kylian Mbappe from performing just like the way he was stopped in the first leg of the tie.
Borussia Dortmund is only 1 goal behind in the first leg, and that 1 goal is a very likely distance for Borussia Doertmund to catch up in the second leg. Atletico Madrid must be able to prepare themselves as best as possible, at least they must achieve a draw to enable them to qualify.Dominant first half from Dortmund, made good use of the goal opportunity that they have created, and now they ended the first half with two goals, to now be the winning team on total goals (3-2). The game can still change, If Atletico can get one goal early enough before Dortmund score the third goal to put them at a more comfortable position.
The aggregate of the two matches is now the same. Namely Dortmund and Atletico have an aggregate of 3-3. And likewise, Barcelona and PSG have an aggregate of 4-4. It's just that Barcelona is in a difficult position because they only play with 10 players. And just now Mbappe scored a goal through a penalty and made PSG now ahead with an aggregate of 4-5.Mbappe scored two scores the which made it 4-6 aggregate. He scored the penalty and the last goal from a close range inside the box of Barcelona. I will put the blame of Araujo who was the last man standing and decided to make the foul. No one expected that PSG will come from behind and win the game away from home. Congratulations to PSG for qualifying for the semifinals. Dortmund was played impressively and won Atletico.
Dortmund have to make sure not to make any crazy mistakes, their tactics should be more of the first half performnace.Dortmund really had their game plan mapped out for them from the first half of the match to its second half, in which they were able to two goals in the first and two goals also in the second half.
Mbappe scored two scores the which made it 4-6 aggregate. He scored the penalty and the last goal from a close range inside the box of Barcelona.

Well I didn't expect Barcelona to lose. Maybe if Barcelona continues to play with 11 players then Barcelona can maintain their lead. But unfortunately they only played with 10 players from the 29th minute. And that was a nightmare for this club.The aggregate of the two matches is now the same. Namely Dortmund and Atletico have an aggregate of 3-3. And likewise, Barcelona and PSG have an aggregate of 4-4.

I think that it was lack of experience on Barcelona young players that caused them not to be able to fight strong even with 10 men. The young boys were filled with fear and tension, and that made the situation worst to the extent that they were unable to put themselves together. Enriquez saw that in the first half, and that was why when his team came back in the second half, they attacked Barcelona aggressively and shattered their defense,which lead to PSG scoring 4 goals.Well I didn't expect Barcelona to lose.

Laliga's only hope now is Real Madrid. And Real Madrid has the most feared opponent, namely Man City. In fact, I doubt that Real Madrid can succeed in beating Man City. But if PSG can make a surprise, then Real Madrid also has the same opportunity. Moreover, Real Madrid is still evenly matched on aggregate with Man City. So the opportunities are still wide open.

Not just that, even the Referee didn't help th situation, he was harsh to Barcelona in that game that's why they didn't win this second leg.Barcelona did not win because they could not win the game, no need blaming the referee when his decision could have gone any way.
I have bad feelings about Man City. Only 5 minutes till the end of overtime. They had plenty of chances but couldn't score a winner.It will be a penalty shootout as the two teams have played 120 minutes without any winner. I really wished this was the finals, but the quarter finals is like a final. However, penalty is a game of luck, and whoever wins the penalty is lucky. I really enjoyed the game from the beginning to the end as it was more lively than that of Bayern Munich and Arsenal. It is a pity that Arsenal could not fight back to remain in in the competition.
If you dominate like this:
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/04/17/jJiwN.png)
but still let the game go to a penalty shootout, that gives the other team a massive psychological advantage.
Hope I'm wrong though.
Semi-Finals:Its time for Real Madrid winning their 15 UEFA Champion League tittle, unpredictable with many prediction make Manchester City is favorite team but more defensive games play last night helped Madrid win over Manchester City trough penalty kick after both teams playing draw until extra additional time.
PSG vs. Dortmund
Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich
Who among you expected this? I'm pretty sure many here were rooting for Arsenal and Man City to advance but it wasn't meant to be.
I think this season's Finals will be a match between PSG and Real Madrid.
Semi-Finals:Exactly mate, you are right and that was my conclusion yesterday the moment Real Madrid won the match with a penalty shootout. Dortmund will not be able to play PSG, and Bayern is just too weak for Real Madrid, which makes the finals to be played by these two strong clubs in their various leagues. What surprises me is that, when PSG have all three stars last season, which are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they did not go this far.

What surprises me is that, when PSG have all three stars last season, which are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they did not go this far.There was divided attention in the team when the club had three big players, now things are less complicated for them because they only have one key player that they can look to for performance and luckily for them they've got a perfect one for that a player, he is big and very effective in big games unlike Erling Halaand who he has often been compared with. PSG also have a good coach with champions league experience, and the honors' of winning it. This season can be their season.
Usually when a team has a lot of star players, it will actually make their teamwork unhealthy, especially if one of the players has a high ego, and I saw this at Paris Saint Germain.What surprises me is that, when PSG have all three stars last season, which are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they did not go this far.There was divided attention in the team when the club had three big players, now things are less complicated for them because they only have one key player that they can look to for performance and luckily for them they've got a perfect one for that a player, he is big and very effective in big games unlike Erling Halaand who he has often been compared with.

Real Madrid is a team that has the status of a monster team in the Champions League, they are the team that has won the most titles with 14 Champions League titles, so it is not surprising that they are the team that is always the favorite in the Champions League.Updated odds for the outright UCL winner:Comparison with domestic league and UEFA Champion League team performance since group phase until quarter final its not really surprising Real Madrid lead the first standings as favorite team for winning Champion League in this season.

But its not close opportunity for another surprise about final champion league with Dortmund has chance lead to final or PSG can lead until final round in this season.
Real Madrid is a team that has the status of a monster team in the Champions League, they are the team that has won the most titles with 14 Champions League titles, so it is not surprising that they are the team that is always the favorite in the Champions League.Real Madrid have the better chance, but Bayern are not to be underrated because they have experience in this competition and have quick attackers too, with a striker that does not ghost in big games. I want PSG in the finals because I believe that they will be a better opponent for either Real Madrid or Bayern that makes it to the finals.
This season they beat the defending champions, even though previously their chances were not greater than Manchester City, but they were able to get rid of them at their own headquarters through the penalty round.
Updated odds for the outright UCL winner:Prefer Real Madrid as the odds-on champions league champions this season over Bayern Munich they failed to make it to the Bundeliga and I don't expect the UCL to either.

No surprise here, after eliminating the current champions Real is now a new favourite with odds of x2.40
Semi-Finals:At first I thought it would be Man City, not Real Madrid. However, when the half was over and the penalty shootout was taken, I was sure that Real Madrid would win. So far, Real Madrid have had an extraordinary experience in penalty shootouts, and there is no doubt that they have always been successful. Because of that, when the final whistle sounds and the position is level, I personally am very confident, Real Madrid will definitely win.
PSG vs. Dortmund
Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich
Who among you expected this? I'm pretty sure many here were rooting for Arsenal and Man City to advance but it wasn't meant to be.
I think this season's Finals will be a match between PSG and Real Madrid.It seems to be like this. Mbappe will certainly be very happy with his achievement because he has long hoped to win the UCL. And this is PSG's step to get this far, being in the semi-finals and having a big enough chance to enter the final. This is certainly very impressive as he is, even in his career, the last season he was with PSG. and what is even more interesting is that his opponent is Real Madrid, which is his dream club and rumors always mention Mbappe moving to Real Madrid. This would be something that would be very interesting too, right?
No surprise here, after eliminating the current champions Real is now a new favourite with odds of x2.40I saw that odds and I think Real can do it again but I would not underestimate German teams Borussia Dortmund and Bayern.

In Champions League things are not always going according to plan and favorites dont always win, some of this teams had to think about domestic league matches also.
As for Real, they didn't look particularly great in the last game, but I agree that, on paper, they're the strongest of the remaining four.They are the strongest simply because they have won the competition the most, and also because they were the team that knocked out the defending champions Manchester City. As I keep saying, I will not be surprised if they loose to Bayern because the Bayern coach has a very good record against Real Madrid with the other teams he has coached in the champions league.
They agree that they cannot underestimate Bayern Munich. Even though Bayern Munich is currently experiencing a slight decline, they are still very sharp on the front line. If they underestimate Bayern Munich then they will get something they don't want.Real Madrid is a team that has the status of a monster team in the Champions League, they are the team that has won the most titles with 14 Champions League titles, so it is not surprising that they are the team that is always the favorite in the Champions League.Real Madrid have the better chance, but Bayern are not to be underrated because they have experience in this competition and have quick attackers too, with a striker that does not ghost in big games.

This season they beat the defending champions, even though previously their chances were not greater than Manchester City, but they were able to get rid of them at their own headquarters through the penalty round.
If PSG wins the champions league, Mbappe will be immortalized in the club.
After seeing how Real Madrid prevented Man City from winning at the Etihad stadium, I think that is enough to measure Real Madrid's strength this season, which is much better than last season. And I think Real Madrid really has the biggest chance of being able to continue going further and reaching the Final. Even Real Madrid could become favorites this season.
But the problem is that in the semi-finals, Real Madrid had to face Bayern, who could even beat Arsenal, who also had extraordinary performance this season. Arsenal even received great appreciation this season because in the Premier League, Man City couldn't beat Arsenal. But Bayern can do it. This indicates that Bayern and Real Madrid also have almost the same level. But Real Madrid felt like they deserved to go further and reach the final. And PSG might go further too. But Dortmund also looks very strong and I can't see which is better between PSG and Dortmund.
Facing Bayern is not an easy match for Real Madrid, Bayern is the same as Manchester City, a strong team that is very difficult to beat.H2H Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid can be said to be quite balanced because their victory is only a little difference and Real Madrid is clearly favored, but in my personal assumption where the semifinals between them prefer Real Madrid to win rather than Bayern Munich there are other reasons behind it including Bayern Munich failing in the Bundesliga although not as a reference.
Real Madrid versus Bayern is the match that has historically been played most often in the Champions League with 26 matches
Bayern recorded 11 wins, Real Madrid 12, and the other three matches ended in draws.
And I predict the team that wins this match will win the Champions League title this season.

Its strength is not far from Man City, but overall, Man City is more equal in terms of strength in all lines, strong in all.
I also think the same as you that the team that wins the match is likely to be the one who will ultimately win the UCL title this season. And Bayern is just as strong and at the same level. So it seems that it will be difficult to make predictions for this match. But Real Madrid in Laliga also just won in El Classico and this shows that Real Madrid is getting stronger.

Curretnly Real Madrid lead head to head against Bayern Munich and success defeating any Bundesliga teams in their participants in UEFA Champion League matches. In my viewed, Real Madrid has chance for defeating Bayern Munich such as make impossible prediction after success eliminating Manchester City as most favorite teams in Champion League. Regarding Manchester City opponent teams in quarter final, I think Real Madrid has easily opponent teams in semifinal than their quarter final teams.After seeing how Real Madrid prevented Man City from winning at the Etihad stadium, I think that is enough to measure Real Madrid's strength this season, which is much better than last season.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have endured great rivalry between them in the UEFA Champions League competition over the years with the Spanish club a little better than their German counterparts in terms of head to head record. They'll be meeting each other again in the semi finals of the competition and just like the bookmakers, I'm backing Real Madrid to progress to the final at the expense of Bayern Munich. Real Madrid's performance this season is clearly better when compared to Bayern Munich but that I don't think is going to be the main determinant in the tie however, I think it's definitely going to be a Real Madrid victoryH2H Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid can be said to be quite balanced because their victory is only a little difference and Real Madrid is clearly favored, but in my personal assumption where the semifinals between them prefer Real Madrid to win rather than Bayern Munich there are other reasons behind it including Bayern Munich failing in the Bundesliga although not as a reference.Yes, although it cannot be denied, Bayern Munich is also one of the strongest clubs in the UCL, with their various advantages, Bayern cannot be underestimated.

Here, Real Madrid needs to try optimally again, like they did with Man City and must be even better. They really understand Dortmund's ability to gain possession of the ball, as well as their significant attacks. So, surely Ancelotti has considered all this. Even better if you look at the H2H of their matches so far.
However, I am also the same as you, I still believe and support Real Madrid to qualify for the final round, meeting PSG, that will be very interesting.

Well, it's the same feeling for those of us who really like Real Madrid. So seeing every match they play is always an interesting thing for us to watch. Especially if it is a match against another strong team. This always makes us more impatient to be able to see it soon. ;D~ ~ ~I also think the same as you that the team that wins the match is likely to be the one who will ultimately win the UCL title this season.

Real Madrid's league and Champions League performances have been outstanding so far.
The victory over Barca was a big step towards the La Liga title, Real Madrid has practically confirmed the league title, as well as increasing confidence when away to the Allianz Arena Stadium to play the semifinal leg 1 match.
And yeah, me too. I can't wait to see this match.
But honestly, it always excites me whenever Real Madrid plays on the pitch :)

I think it is not only about dedication and commitment in building a strong squad, Real Madrid also has a good luck and has a great mentality. There are no other teams that can be very consistent like Real Madrid. So far, Real Madrid is the only consistent team in UCL. However, it is not impossible that in the future we may see other teams with the same luck as Real Madrid, too.

Real Madrid's Champions League title win seems to be their tradition and they might just be there to win the Champions League title. The number of times Real Madrid has won the Champions League title so far, even if they do not win another title for another ten seasons from now, no team will be able to surpass Real Madrid in terms of title wins. Real Madrid are heavy favorites to win the title this season because there are no teams as strong as Real Madrid in this tournament. Apart from Real Madrid, Real Madrid is definitely the strongest among the three teams that are still in the Champions League.Real Madrid has been the club with the most highest champion league trophy due to their commitment, dedication, and love for the league.

Currently, Real Madrid is the most likely to win the title. They are working hard and taking whatever steps are necessary to win. But if you think that the opponent is weak, then I think that Real Madrid will have a very low chance of winning because the opponents who will come with Real Madrid will be very strong. However, when Real Madrid's management is strong, they always try to do something good. I am a real madrid supporter and always predict real madrid champions.Real Madrid has been the club with the most highest champion league trophy due to their commitment, dedication, and love for the league.

BTW. The semi-final leg 1 of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Bayern will take place on May 1, Bayern will act as hosts.Leg 1 draw is still very possible but there are some obstacles where the Bayern Munich squad has several injured players, of course this can be called worrying if it is a major player but I feel Bayern Munich is still ready to face Real Madrid at Allianz.
I think this match will end in a draw. What do you think? Please share your opinion. I would appreciate it.

Maybe here Real Madrid can't do much in the sense that a draw is more than enough because in the second leg it could be decisive for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, I feel that's the most important thing in the first leg.
This could end in a draw or a RM win by a single goal margin.Bayern Munich were able to play better football against Arsenal than they played in their local league; they were more defensively compact and more difficult for Arsenal attackers to run through. If they're able to defend very well, as they did against Arsenal, then they may be able to win this first leg by a little margin or not concede enough goals to give them a chance still in the second leg. Regardless of everything, I still see Real Madrid qualifying for the finals at the end.
Of course, Bayern Munich were able to play an impressive game tonight despite the fact that a lot of people thought that they will lose the match to Madrid. But this was not so as Bayern Munich was able to stand on their ground and see that the match ended in a 2-2. A balanced game tonight, and both players made the game interesting. The problem now lies in the second leg, as Bayern will be going to Spain to meet with their fate.This could end in a draw or a RM win by a single goal margin.Bayern Munich were able to play better football against Arsenal than they played in their local league; they were more defensively compact and more difficult for Arsenal attackers to run through.

Definitely was a lot closer than I expected, I assumed Real would win, but beating Bayern at their home ground is never easy, even o their worst season they are still good and I believe that we are going to end up with something decent one way or another, that has to be the most common thing. I believe that we are going to see UCL being something quite fun no matter what, it always has that kind of shocking results but this was a little expected. I mean I did expected Real to win, but tie wasn't that far off, it looked liked it would be possible to get a draw as well. Glad that I watched the game, it was super fun.The draw at home Bayern is actually also a positive sign for Real Madrid. Who will indeed be more favored when playing in the second leg as hosts. Meanwhile, Bayern, who could only hold Real Madrid to a draw in the first leg, was really not a good result for Bayern. because in the second leg everything will be more difficult. Because Real Madrid usually plays better at their own home.

But being draw still has opportunity for Bayern Munich because they won't loss one opportunity for winning Champion League tittle as only one left trophy in this season.
As expected, PSG opened up as the favorite @2.41 (Dortmund @2.9). Like the other semi-finals, odds are pretty good for both teams. I don't think this will be a draw but it will be close, maybe a low scoring match with 1-0 goal. If you're unsure of who would win, the odds for total score (under) are also attractive.I am also not expecting a draw from this match tonight, and I believe that PSG should be able to win Dortmund. However, the game might change and we will see a surprise, apart from any surprises, PSG should be able to win the match. Dortmund should not be underestimated for the to have come this far to the semifinals, it means that they are in their best form and ready to win any club that crosses their line.

It is not easy for Paris Saint Germain to win this match, because even though they can be said to be better than Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Dortmund is still a real threat to Paris Siant Germain, especially since they will also be playing at their own headquarters in this match.As expected, PSG opened up as the favorite @2.41 (Dortmund @2.9).

Borussia Dortmund will also definitely be aiming for victory, because winning will allow them to further increase their chances of being in the final. However, if Paris Siant Germain can get good results, then of course that will benefit them in the second leg.From what I have seen in today's Champions League match, is like Borussia Dortmund is having a home victory against PSG. They scored in the 36 minutes of play, and since then no other goal has entered but attempts to score have been made from both teams, which had Borussia Dortmund having 4 shots on target and PSG 3.
A good advantage for Dortmund as they are on one point ahead of Real Madrid, and this will be a motivation for them in the second leg. The second half was filled with many missed opportunities, and no goal was able to pass through into the nets of either of the team. The only goal scored by Dortmund in the second half made a difference in today's match.Borussia Dortmund will also definitely be aiming for victory, because winning will allow them to further increase their chances of being in the final.

Borussia Dortmund successfully secured victory in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint Germain. The goal scored by Niclas Fullkrug in the first half was the only goal that made them successful in securing victory.Dortmund played beyond all of our expectations in the first leg.
This result makes them more comfortable in the second leg, because they only need to get a draw to advance to the final. However, that is not an easy thing for them to do, because they also have to play at Paris Saint Germain's headquarters and it is certain that Paris Saint Germain will go all out.
Crazy how many chances PSG missed today against Dortmund and I expected to see a lot more goals, but next match will decide everything.
I think that PSG is still a big favorite and they will play better at home stadium, this should be the same for Real Madrid against Bayern.
Mbappe is always closely guarded by his opponents. But in yesterday's match Mbappe also almost scored a goal but his shot hit the goalpost at that time. Even though the Dortmund goalkeeper was fooled at that time. And maybe in the second leg we will finally see a more aggressive PSG. But Dortmund will definitely be prepared to face all of that. Because after all, Dortmund is also quite good at maintaining their lead.Crazy how many chances PSG missed today against Dortmund and I expected to see a lot more goals, but next match will decide everything.
I think that PSG is still a big favorite and they will play better at home stadium, this should be the same for Real Madrid against Bayern.
Dortmund is not small in the eyes of PSG and plus they hosted PSG, conceding goals is bound to happen but PSG didn't make use of all the opportunities they had but who know what will happen in the second leg if they visit PSG stadium. I know for a fact that PSG will not let go of this tournament without a fight especially how silent Mbape has been, there might be some sort of changes we might no see coming they will use to knockdown Dortmund in the second leg.

Because after all, Dortmund is also quite good at maintaining their lead.Yes, we can see that Mbappe's guard is really tight. Unfortunately, other players at PSG have not yet been able to optimize these chances, by making breakthroughs on the other side, because perhaps the opposing players are quite focused on Mbappe. And it's true, Mbappe has also endangered the opponent's goal several times, but unfortunately it wasn't good enough, so he lost, completely closed and almost scored a goal. but unfortunately, it was really thwarted by the Dortmund goalkeeper. Honestly, this time, Kobel played very well.
Actually, this game was a draw, neither team dominated more, except for Paris Saint Germain's effort in the final minutes, but that didn't result in a goal for them.Borussia Dortmund successfully secured victory in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint Germain. The goal scored by Niclas Fullkrug in the first half was the only goal that made them successful in securing victory.Dortmund played beyond all of our expectations in the first leg.
This result makes them more comfortable in the second leg, because they only need to get a draw to advance to the final. However, that is not an easy thing for them to do, because they also have to play at Paris Saint Germain's headquarters and it is certain that Paris Saint Germain will go all out.
But PSG in the first leg actually also had several opportunities which almost became a goal if they didn't hit the goal post. But somehow PSG seemed to have lost sharpness in completing attacks. Dortmund made more attacks that could endanger PSG's goal. So the score of 1-0 was very appropriate. And yes, in the second leg we will definitely see PSG who are much more aggressive. because in the second leg PSG must catch up by scoring at least 2 goals and not conceding. The position as host can be an advantage and PSG must make good use of it.
Mbappe is always a player who is closely guarded by opposing players in any match. So it's not surprising that Dortmund also did it. And when Dortmund took a 1 goal lead in the match, Mbappe's guard actually became looser so that several times Mbappe almost scored a goal. Luckily the Dortmund players returned their focus to defending better. And yes, their goalkeeper, Kobel, did make a very good save in that match.Mbappe is always closely guarded by his opponents.

Those men will need to work extra hard because playing PSG at home will not be as easy as playing PSG in Germany.
