The last games of the eighth finals in a few days. There are still a few games where the tension is full. One of those games is probably not Manchester City's game at home against RB Leipzig. Porto - Inter is a game where there is still a lot at stake, and Inter has built in only a marginal margin at the moment. Porto must certainly be considered to be able to put things in order in Portugal with this team. I expect a narrow victory for Porto, but it could also end in a goalless draw. Both are not candidates for the overall victory, but I think Inter is a dangerous outsider.

I agree, that if everything goes at least kind of the normal way, then Manchester City should be able to advance into the next round. That being said, at least for me personally it would not be a totally shocking surprise if RB Leipzig would make it into the next round. First of all RB Leipzig is in a pretty good shape right now and even though Manchester City have won their last game against Crystal Palace i kinda have the feeling as if ManCity is not as strong as in the last years. Maybe this could be a good thing though too, because in the last 3 years or so ManCity was always the big favorite to win the CL but they never were able to do it, maybe they can do it this year even though they seem to be not as strong as usual.

PSG and Manchester City have been the teams with zero titles in the Champions League so far despite the amazing squads they have.

Now PSG are out of the tournament because of a horrible performance. I mean that maybe they tried to do something but it wasn't good enough to score even one goal. In fact, I can't say that Bayern Munich's defense is very strong this season. They have conceded quite many goals so far. But PSG just didn't have the right strategies to benefit from their weaknesses. As a result, PSG failed about their goal and now it is Manchester City's turn. They would eliminate Leipzig nicely and I have no doubt about it. But I wonder how strong they will be against one of the title contenders.

The reason why PSG couldn't get any achievement in the Champions League is clear to me, they were a team without honor and the team got the money from the owners to just buy superstar players, not anything else like they were all playing just for money. But regarding Manchester City, they have an organized team and I think they can have the chance for this season.

Chelsea is not a bad club Chelsea has  a good performance but the only thing is that Graham potter is not coaching the team in a standard way  to coach teams like Chelsea, is not easy but he tried his best to win in Dortmund coach Graham Potter job was on the line as there were speculation of him to be sacked  him if he lose the match that is when every thing change,and the must surprised thing is Chelsea refuge Leicester city 3:1 now Chelsea is in win form, we are counting to win.
I admit that Chelsea is a good club but at the moment they are not that good. Even though they are in good condition, I still don't expect much from them.
On the other hand, at this time their attack line still hasn't shown cohesiveness and their productivity is still weak in terms of goals, so this condition is clearly getting worse for Chelsea, even though in terms of ball control in their match there is no doubt.

Up coming second leg match UEFA Champion League between Real Madrid vs Liverpool, both team difference result on domestic league this week and Real Madrid seems advantage after winning and Liverpool have bad capital losing last match in domestic league. Liverpool have difficult mission away there because losing 2-5 on first leg need to win above three goals if want qualify to quarter final.

Head to head both team Real Madrid always dominance on several matches, not only winning on first leg but also last twice Champion League final Liverpool always loss from Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have a huge advantage over Liverpool in this second leg meeting because Real Madrid have a 3 goal advantage over Liverpool and with Liverpool's unstable form at the moment it is not certain that they will be able to get enough goals to close up this gap in the meeting. I think it is the end of the road already for Liverpool except a miracle happens.

after winning from dortmund, chelsea managed to win also from leicester and it seems that all the fans appreciate chelsea's good performance this time

Chelsea is currently one of the teams with the best squad in the world, but the results they are getting are not optimal because their performance is not yet stable, it seems that Chelsea owners really have to think about a new coach as a substitute for Potter

I haven't checked the odds for the eventual winner of the CL, but those can also change enormously after next week. You also have a draw, which has a lot of influence on the odds of the eventual winner of this tournament. And as a team you just have to be lucky with the draw, something Real Madrid absolutely did not have last year, but they simply eliminated all top teams and then became champions. And they are the most successful of any team in the last 20 years. They are not among the favorites but I think they are an outsider, everyone is having a hard time against Real Madrid

From the teams that remain,only Bayern Munchen I see as a strong opponent who can eliminate Real Madrid but I would love to see a final between these two teams like in the old days several years ago,those were great games.Now if they are lucky in their draw Real and have to face Benfica for example or Chelsea for that matter or maybe Milan they will go further,if they happen to face Manchester City (which I am assuming they will qualify against Leipzig) or Bayern Munchen those are the only teams who can cause trouble to Real Madrid.I will check the odds and if Real has over 10 as an odd which I don't think they do,I am going to place a bet on them as winners of CL this season.

I did not expect Chelsea to win at all, not even remotely close. I always suspected that they were doing pretty bad, and they would continue to do bad and they would lose this one too, plus Dortmund was doing so great, and I expected them to keep doing better in the long run as well, which did not happen and I guess that is going to keep happening for sure.

Chelsea picked up form prior to the Dortmund game, they won Leads United in their last match and the squad must have been energized by that win and wanted to continue winning. Also don't forget that the squad coach Graham Potter job was on the line as there were speculation of him to be sacked if he loses. The whole squad played that Dortmund game just for Graham Potter. You could see the determination in the squad. After the Dortmund game, Chelsea has continued in a winning form by beating a home clubin the premier league and that's something that they haven't been able to do in a very long time.

Meanwhile yesterday Dortmund couldn't even win their match atleast to show some frustration. Chelsea trashed Leicester city 3:1 while Dortmund drew with Schalke, I think the better team moved on so we shouldn't be surprised. Dortmund lack Champions League football experience. Chelsea are two time winners and frequently surpassed the round of 16 so it would had even be a surprise if we didn't defeat Dortmund to advance especially as we have the squad capable of doing such.

Somehow but I have an estimate that Porto will be able to win the match in the second leg. But if you look at the quality of the actual players, it is Inter who must be superior. but Porto have also had a fairly consistent run of form in their local league. and I feel that Porto's performance is almost similar to Benfica's excellent performance. and currently Porto is ranked 2nd in the primeira league. and Inter milan is also ranked 2nd in serie a. so I think it's a pretty interesting fight. a draw is also possible in this fight. and will automatically make inter qualify for the next stage. but Porto really can not be underestimated. maybe I will take the option on Porto for this time.

What might the possible fixtures be after the 16th round? There are currently 4 clubs that have qualified for the quarterfinals. The Champions League quarter-final draw will take place on Friday, March 17, 2023.

1. Bayern Munich 2. Chelsea fc 3. Benfica 4. AC milan

Final games of the round of 16
 5. Man City vs Liepzig
 6. Porto Vs Inter Milan
 7. Real madrid vs Liverpool
 8. Napoli vs Frankfurt

It seems like that napoli and real madrid already got guaranteed spots due to the aggregates against its opponent, while the hardest matches to predict are the winners from city vs leipzig and inter vs porto.

That's my prediction for rest of matches in the last 16. That will be very interesting thing to see that the draw for last 8.

It seems like that all if big clubs will be trying even harder in last 8. City vs leipzig seems good enough to be watched.
Two clubs that are difficult to predict that qualify for the last 8. Maybe City have a chance to qualify, but between Porto vs Inter, I'm sure Inter will get a ticket to the top 8. I expected the game to be a draw, but to my knowledge the away goal advantage has been removed. But Inter have bagged 1 goal.
Why is Inter Milan unlikely? I think Inter Milan will win the second leg in a big way, because Milan are ahead of the opposition in every way. And leading by 1 goal in the first leg. Inter Milam will never want to miss this opportunity.

If inter Milan are at their best then of course I agree Inter Milan will be the underdogs in the second leg against Porto. but If Inter Milan's condition is not at their best then I doubt Inter milan will qualify for the next stage. and in the Serie A match this week Inter really disappointed me because they had to lose to Spezia. but I hope in the Champions League they won't make a mistake. although Porto are hosting this time. but Inter Milan should have won the game. But Porto certainly won't let things go smoothly for Inter. and Porto could have turned things around.

It's a shame that Liverpool played at home to Real Madrid in the 1st leg. But still enthusiastic, there is still hope in the 2nd leg, even though it is difficult, you still have to be optimistic, even though the result will definitely be losing to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabue. Because I'm sure that this match belonged to Real Madrid, apart from being superior on aggregate, Real Madrid also got positive results in Laliga, on the other hand, Liverpool lost to the team at the bottom of the standings.
Since after Real Madrid was able to score Liverpool very high number of goals up to 5, I don't have any special hope in Liverpool that they could do any wonders against Real Madrid in the Champions League, even if they will have to perform any wonders it is not against Real Madrid. Liverpool wanted to give people false hope when they defeated Manchester United by seven goals. People thought that they could change their narrative and get some goals against Real Madrid. But it did not take long before Liverpool prove them wrong by losing to Bournamouth which is a relegation team in the English Premier League.

The second leg match that I think is quite interesting is Porto vs Inter. We know that in the domestic league, Inter often experience inconsistencies to win and they often find it difficult to break down the need to score goals. Meanwhile, Porto in the domestic league has performed quite well so far, but the problem is that in the second leg against Inter they (Porto) will not be strengthened by one of Otavio's key players after receiving a red card in the first leg. However, as the host, Porto certainly has more motivation to surpass the aggregate points and at this time, even though Inter are superior, 1 point on aggregate is not enough to make them safe in the match later.
This will be a little difficult to predict because the conditions are the same as when Tottenham met Milan and Chelsea met Dortmund.
The condition of the two teams is still possible at this time even though the aggregate is 1 goal for Inter. But when looking at the first leg, 1 goal can also be considered as luck in my opinion, so this condition can still happen for Porto and Inter in this match.
Whatever the result, I will clearly enjoy this fight without betting because in my opinion, the risk is still quite large.

Basically what I’m saying is don’t waste money on betting Liverpool to qualify, it is not going to happen sadly.
The best odds/bet for me in the CL this season to win it is Napoli. They are a serious dark horse.
Yeah 3 goals difference is really a hard task for Liverpool, maybe betting on over or below option is profitable since Liverpool will try to score many goals and it will make Real Madrid score many goals in order to prevent from Liverpool can beat them. Real Madrid isn't a club which want to play in defense position, so the match should be a lot of goals. Napoli is a dark horse, but they seems doesn't have a good mentality.

I think everyone is free to choose to bet for any team and we cannot limit their freedom, if they still have high confidence in Liverpool then it is their right to make their own choice. But the problem is that they have to be ready to accept all the risks, because usually they will expect to win because they get high odds but are not ready to accept the worst risks.

Also, I agree with you that Napoli really don't have a very good mentality when it comes to the Champions League. But who knows, maybe because in this season Napoli has good dominance in Serie A, it is possible that the positive trend that Napoli has can have a good impact on the Champions League as well.

Does anyone remember Liverpool's great comeback against Barcelona a few years ago, when they overcame a three-goal deficit against Barcelona and won 4:0?
After that miraculous turnaround and great victory against Barcelona, Liverpool then became European champions for the last time.
Already from these examples it can be seen that Liverpool is an expert in great reversals and unexpected victories, so they should not be underestimated in the match against Real.
Liverpool have no chance of winning any other trophy this season and for them the match against Real is the match of the season and they will certainly play at the highest possible level.
The team that recently disastrously defeated Manchester United with 7:0 must be taken very seriously.


Don't give them high hopes, Liverpool couldn't break down Bournemouth yesterday, and also with a penalty awarded, it was shot wide by Salah. I found that miss embarrassing and also the player smiling after lossing such a big big chance to help take a point from the game.
Now if you talk about history, they currently lacked those player's, yes Real Madrid might be also struggling but you don't expect such comeback with such a squad. The simple truth about everything is that Liverpool can not qualify against Real Madrid.

Besides, Real Madrid didn't do so bad yesterday, as they came from behind to win the game narrowing the points just if Barcelona drops point tonight.
