The first half ended and Manchester City won 3-0 over Leipzig, and all the goals were scored by Erling Haaland in the 22nd, 24th and 45+2 minutes. And the first and second goals were only 2 minutes apart through Erling Haaland's header which took advantage of the rebound that was scored earlier from the penalty kick.
Manchester City played very well and I think in the second half Manchester City will add another goal but still prioritize defense to maintain the advantage, because Leipzig will definitely play attack.
Edit: goals being 5-0 to Manchester City and goals from Gundogan in the 49th minute and also Erling Haaland again in the 53rd, looks like it's going to be a goal fest for Manchester City and I don't see Leipzig playing well either.

What a guy this Haaland is, making an hat-trick effortlessly in one half in a CL R16 game. He has more than 1 goal ratio now in all competitions this season.
Unluckily we have Porto game in national TV coverage. I had to watch City game online. The game is going to 7+, it's already 5-0 now.

Its quite impressive seeing Erling Haaland scoring 3 goals in the first half of tonight's game against RB Leipzig, of which the first goal was a penalty score at 22minute, while second goal scored 2minutes later "24minutes" and last 2minutes into the extra time of the first half, which is quite a good play as Man city happens to be in control of the ball tonight, and I'm really enjoying this game, as with the look of things, I see Haaland scoring more goals before the end of the second half, with the game likely to end with (Man city 4 - 1 RB Leipzig).
Amazing Haaland is doing hard work for rewriting history as they are now heading for the place into last eight with this result things could be in their favor because their performance are at their best, and they can manage things like these against any defense which will help them for having their spot into next round right now after end of 45 minutes game they are leading by good score which is not possible to bring back at level for the RB Leipzig which was completely clueless in first half game against ruthless Haaland and their attack which is destroying them badly.With this performance, surely things could be positive for them in their hopes for having double in this season while they are giving tough challenge to leaders Arsenal in Premier League as well.
Its quite impressive seeing Erling Haaland scoring 3 goals in the first half of tonight's game against RB Leipzig, while first goal as a penalty score at 15minute, with the 2 goal at 24minutes last goal in the first half score at 46minutes (extra time during the first half +3). because I'm really enjoying this game, and with the look of things, I see Haaland scoring more goals before the end of the second half, with a likely correct score this game might end (Man city 4 - 1 RB Leipzig)
with the acquisition of a score of 3-0 in the first half will certainly make Manchester City more confident in the second half. so more goals could possibly occur in the second half. It's great to see the game this time. But for the second leg match between Porto vs Inter Milan the score is still 0-0 and of course Inter Milan must try to hold Porto to a draw. But Porto continued to dominate the game so it could be that in the second half Porto would score. FC Porto vs Inter Milan and Manchester City vs RB Leipzig are two interesting and exciting matches.
With Inter Milan's weakness in the game at the moment, Inter needs to be aware of every move from Porto players. They are not in a safe position to qualify for the next round. Because of their inconsistency can hinder those opportunities. Of course, it can be said that they are currently one step away from qualifying, but if in this match what they experienced in Serie A, which experienced 2 defeats in 3 matches, is not a good signal for Inter.
If the second half later Inter Milan is able to maintain the style of play as in the first half without having to defend completely, I'm sure Inter will become the representative of the second Serie A after AC Milan who will qualify.

The Porto-Inter clash continues in boring fashion, with the first half ending in a 0-0 goalless draw and Porto having no choice but to win. Porto have more possession of the ball, but it must be said that Inter had 4 hits in 4 shots.If you can't take advantage of the positions, you will be eliminated, so the logic of "those who can't score can score" may occur.If they don't find a goal early in the second half, that is, in the first 15 minutes, the round may turn into a problem for them.
Manchester City, on the other hand, finished the match in the first half and we can say that they passed the round.City scored 3 goals in the first half and Haaland, the star of the last years, scored all 3 goals.3 delicious goals, one of them from a penalty. It was difficult for Leipzig to pass the round but they tried their luck. I don't think there will be many goals in the second half. I expect Manchester City will take a few players off to rest.

Like I said before it was an easy peasy match for Manchester City and they are just showing it by their performance now. The score has become 3-0 right before the end of the first half. 
There is an amazing show by Haaland tonight. He has already made a hat-trick and he is carrying his team to next round easily. I assume Leipzig weren't too much hopeful about qualifying for next round. Because it is better to be realistic most of the time. It was a too difficult job for Leipzig to resist Manchester City's incredible attacking line. It isn't easy to stop Haaland also of course. When Manchester City are able to play their usual game Haaland also gets many chances easily and benefits from them most of the time just as in this example.

Mr. Haaland scored again, 2 goals, he will easily beat Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of his carrier as the top scorer in the Champions Leauge (well, if Superleague will not start)
Inter still
0-0 after they won they got in leg 1 versus Porto for 1-0

In the match Manchester City vs RB Leipzig the winner should be City, but in soccer anything is possible. I think City will play a little more offensiv today and score 1-2 goals. If they do not win the Premier League, then the Champions League must come to england.
Not only little more offensive, but Manchester City must appear offensive throughout the match to win a ticket to the quarter-finals.Some predictors say that the Manchester City vs Leipzig match is a draw. I don't know what the reason is for underestimating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium even though the two teams drew together at the Red Bull Arena in the first leg. Of course I don't agree with that prediction even though in football anything can happen.
I think Manchester City will really dominate Leipzig in this match even though Leipzig are planning a strategy of defending and counterattacking. Manchester City has a higher chance of winning instead of drawing or losing by Leipzig, maybe 3-1 is the final score.
Manchester City have been on a good run of form. They have won four games in a row since the Leipzig game.
I do not believe in Leipzig's chances of winning. Manchester City are playing at home. And perhaps the Champions League is more important to Guardiola's side than the EPL. So we should expect a dominant performance from the Citizens today.
I expect the home side to be in full control of the game. In my opinion, the support from the stands and the class of the Man City players will be the deciding factors in helping the Mancunians to victory.
Mancity will qualify for the next stage considering the fact that they are at home and are ready to do anything to qualify in this game, match has a mission to achieve and that mission is to lift this cup which has been very difficult for them to achieve but their are somany stumbling blocks like Bayern and real Madrid whose experience in this campaign in the past has been incomparable but good effort can help them to thrive.
Manchester City is already taking the lead in the first half with the man Erling Haaland scoring two goals to put them ahead of the game and to increase their chances of qualification to the next stage. The home advantage for City is playing a big role in the game because their fans are full of excitedness seeing their good performance and watching them win at the Etihad Stadium it's indeed a good experience for them.
Manchester City and them coach Pep have done their possible best to lift the Champions League trophy but they have had difficulties in doing that they almost got to the final last season if not Real Madrid who came from behind to give them a shocking defeat in the second leg of the game last season but hopefully with the current performance of City, they may have the opportunity to make it to the finals considering the up and down performance of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid this season I think they will have an edge to over the two big teams in the Champions League this season.
I think no one doubts Manchester City today they are in a safe position as you said playing at home will be an advantage their confidence will increase
In the last few years Manchester City has always failed in the final so this season they have a big chance to repeat it to go to the final.
I predict Manchester City can win with 2 goals or more and one goal scored in the first half, ber for Man City Win in HT.
It happened and at this time Manchester City had a 2-0 lead over their opponent. Leipzig made too many mistakes at the back and that has allowed Haaland to score 2 goals for the home advantage. I think Haaland can also score 3 goals or a hat-trick in this match, and that's close.In the last few years Manchester City has always failed in the final so this season they have a big chance to repeat it to go to the final.

While I tend not to see Leipzig having many advantages in creating and developing their game in the first half. So we already know now who is really the favorite and won the match even though it's still the first half.
It is 33 minutes so far in the match between mancity and leipzig, the host team has been playing well since the game started mancity scored a goal by haaland through penalty in the 22 minutes immediately after the penalty haaland score another goal in the 24th minute so as it stands is mancity 2 Leipzig 0 with this result mancity has won this game, their ball control and possession is good so with this overall calculation they will be victorious.
It was widely expected that Manchester City would destroy Leipzig and I doubt anything will change in the second half from Leipzig,they simply lack the power to get back to a brilliant Manchester City so far in the Champions League and maybe it is time that they finally get easy opponents like this one in the upcoming rounds and can get to the final of Champions League.
Interesting the game between Porto and Inter,so far 0-0 and the game is being played on equal level,every minute that passes though increases the pressure on Porto players to do more to score at least a goal so they can try and go to additional time and from then who knows what happens.
Manchester city kelvin said the last time that football in England is getting harder as smaller team are becoming financially strong this days.
We all see that Manchester city hasn’t been as razor sharp as we know them to be but today against lipzig they are bring back that spark. They are currently leading comfortablely by two goals.

Honestly , I cannot see 3 Italian teams moving further in UCL and I do think the one who will fall is Inter and Porto do have a reputation for taking out big team from time to time when it comes to UCL games. Now , odds are also very satisfying for this game , especially if you think like me that Porto will qualify. 
We have less than 15 minutes in the game and I see that the odds are changing, Inter are @2.4 right now and Porto @2.95 since they are taking the ball seriously.Inter will have a hard game here to keep the 1 goal advantage in aggregate.
Meanwhile, City is still holding a good odds vs Leipzig but they have to score a goal at the opposite of Inter which can just keep a draw to pass.
Porto v Inter is a match that can be really competitive tonight. Inter don't have a very big advantage over Porto right now therefore Porto can fight for it by a high level of concentration. They resisted Inter really well in Giuseppe Meazza in the end. I don't see any reason for Porto not to play much better in their own stadium. Porto are actually not having a bad season generally. They are a little away from the leader in their domestic league though but they are still an in-form team now.
Inter need to stay strong at defending. I feel like regular time will end up by 1-1 and Inter will advance. Let's see but like I said I expect the final result to be a close one.
I quite agree with you on this. Porto's game against Inter will be a tight one and that is because Inter will want to defend their one goal advantage and then hope for a few chances to hit Porto on the counter, get a goal and seal up the gameInter need to stay strong at defending. I feel like regular time will end up by 1-1 and Inter will advance. Let's see but like I said I expect the final result to be a close one.
While Porto will want to take the advantage of the rousing home fans and play to their full strength thereby creating chances and also converting the chances. Porto is trailing already so they must win by a two goal margin to win the tie. What an it interesting match it promises to be
I think Porto and Manchester City will qualify for the quarter-finals. I don't know how true that is, but it is possible.
I'm considering the home advantage for both teams I mentioned even if Porto lose the first leg. Manchester City have been very clear about their mission this season, but Pep Guardiola really needs to be able to provide a solution if the Leipzig defense can't be handled.
My prediction:
Porto 2 - 1 Inter
Manchester City 3 - 1 Leipzig
I do not agree with your opinion and that does not mean I oppose your predictions. which however I believe more that inter will be able to qualify for the next round. Besides that, one side I believe Manchester City will be able to qualify for the next round because they are playing at home.I'm considering the home advantage for both teams I mentioned even if Porto lose the first leg.

the match has started I think we should watch these two matches because the two matches will be quite interesting from the way they played from the first leg. As for the score in the Porto vs Inter match, I think Inter will be able to win with a score of 1-2 and for Manchester City it is likely that it will be a match that gives many goals.
