Both PSG and Barcelona got a defeat today but they still qualify for the next round. We have 2 teams in the semi-final round, it will be interesting to see PSG and Barcelona because these teams perform well in UCL this season. We are also possible to see these teams in the final because they look like to play other teams in the semi-final round. Congrats for PSG and Barcelona fans!!

What is happening today on this champions League because I don't understand imagine how strong is Barcelona and they are conceiving this much to Borussia Dortmund, currently is 3:1 against the Barcelona and the only luck they had was the aggregate they had from the last match if not they would have been seeing the impact by now because this 3 goals for Borussia Dortmund would have beaten Barcelona entirely but even on this goals they still have 3 to 5 aggregate against Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona is not inform today.

I was disappointed by Barcelona performance tonight, I can't believe it was the same team who destroyed Dortmund in the first leg. I looked into the Barcelona team and discovered that all of the key players were available, yet they failed to do anything against Dortmund. They did not score a single goal throughout the match, and the one they score was an own goal.

If Dortmund had used the same energy in the first leg, I am confident they would not have conceded up to four goals. They conceded a lot of goals, which is why they failed to recover in the second leg. Barcelona only had two shots on target in the second leg, while Dortmund has eleven.

It really would have been interesting if both PSG and Barcelona had not won the first leg by a decent margin, because for both Dortmund and Aston Villa to win, it only means they probably would have forced extra time if the margin were slimmer. That’s why it’s always important to score as many goals as you possibly can if the first leg if you have the chance because nobody knows what could transpire in the second leg.

Tomorrow, we have another set of matches with teams that would also attempt a second leg comeback of their own too.

Great showing by Aston Villa in the second half. I thought they were already done after allowing two early goals they surely gave PSG a run for their money. The momentum was on their side and they had plenty of time to send the game into extra time but they fell short.

It was also unfortunate for Dortmund to concede with an own goal just when they were starting to close the gap.

In the second leg, Dortmund had very high motivation to win in front of their own supporters. And in the second leg I saw that Barcelona was also not that aggressive in building attacks. Not like in the first leg. So Dortmund took advantage of this to be able to attack more into Barcelona's defense area. Dortmund did play better than in the first leg. But well, their journey must end here. But Dortmund have given what they can give in this match. So even though they didn't qualify for the next stage, I think Dortmund got respect from everyone who enjoyed their game in the second leg. Even though they didn't make it through to the next stage, Dortmund didn't disappoint in the game.

What a fight! Lost 1-3 in Paris. Left behind 0-2 in 30 minutes of the 1st half and then came back 3-2 with 23 minutes remaining of the 2nd half. The scoreboard, as cruel as it can be, doesn’t always tell the full story. But those who watched this match didn’t just see a team — they witnessed warriors. Villa may be out of the Champions League, but they made the world believe in football again. Aston Villa didn’t lose. They left a mark.

In today's match, it is a match

- Real Madrid vs Arsenal
- Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich

Do you think there will be any surprises in these matches? Like Real Madrid who turned out to be successful in turning things around or Inter Milan who turned out to be successful in beating Bayern again?

I think Real Madrid will only win but will not qualify for the next stage. Meanwhile, for the Inter Milan vs Bayern match. So it's not certain. But I hope Inter Milan progresses to the next stage.

Yesterday's round brought no surprises in terms of who got qualified, but it shed some light on possible vulnerabilities of two clubs that were/are considered favourites.
Both PSG and Barcelona conceded 3 goals each, proving their defences are not as solid as some could think and that both can be defeated. Of course, they might not have played at their 100% due to the advantage from the 1st leg, but it's not like they lost on purpose. And, for PSG, the last minutes were pretty stressful as Villa was close to equalising.
With this in mind, while betting on the outright winner, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bet on underdogs.

As for today's round, I think betting on Real to win is a fairly safe option. I don't think they will qualify, but a minimal win is the most likely outcome.

I like it when I see team dedication, Aston Villa really shows they are the best to be in that position to the Champions League, PSG was even lucky to score a goal in their home otherwise they would have lost because only one goal was what mad them to lose from going to extra time or maybe even penalty where they can get luck to go to quarter final.

Even Dortmund put a good fight but no way they are going to win Barcelona when they have put everything they had in the first leg, they are already seeing their self in the final and not just the semi final. Now, I want to see what Real Madrid are going to play with Arsenal tonight.

I'm afraid that the fight back we thought Real Madrid will have against Arsenal has not been so because they have not score any goals, if they had come with a serious fight back by now they would have been winning 1 or 2 goals by now, is almost the end of the first half and there hasn't been any goal, so Arsenal is very happy because all they need as the second half is starting is to to only defend as they are currently doing and they will sent out real Madrid. Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are also playing goalless now.

Real Madrid Vs Arsenal HT

First half is over and the dream of Real Madrid qualifying against the 3 goals advantaged Arsenal is becoming so blurred despite that Saka missed a penalty kick.
In champions league, try your best not to concede more than 2 goals if you want to proceed to the next stage.

I don't think that Real Madrid who is unable to register a goal in the first 45mins will be able to score 4 in the remaining 45mins.

Forget about four goals for now, just three to extend the game or go to penalties. . . but yeah, it seems even scoring one is such a huge task for Real Madrid players right now. This is probably one of their worst performance in their rich CL history (both legs).

I think it is time for Real Madrid to say good bye for UCL. There is no enough time to equalize the aggregate. It is almost 90 minute, Real Madrid only could score 1 goal. Meanwhile Arsenal scored again 1 goal. It means Arsenal is leading with 3 goals difference. Well, it is quite disappointed to see Real Madrid eliminated in this phase.

For the match Inter vs Bayern Munich, it seems Inter will go to the next round. The match will be over very soon, Inter is leading with 1 goal difference.

Bruuhh Real Madrid lost in the end how Arteta felt overthrowing the big team and did not expect a sizable aggregate score of up to 5-1 because at the time of this match Arsenal won back 2-1 over Madrid.

The second match was Inter Milan who qualified on a slim aggregate.
The Serie A representatives are really strong now and they will meet Barcelona again.

Even winning today's match, Real Madrid didn't get that in their home against Arsenal. Arsenal ended up winning them by 1-2, which is serve as a disgrace for Real Madrid not even winning Arsenal at home.

However, this is pure match disgrace to Real Madrid. The expectations of people was for them to win Arsenal at least not to make matter worst to lose in their home. That's embarrassing
