Bayern Munich were the better side in that fixture, they really deserve to go through. PSG did try here and there but really didn’t cause much problem. It honestly looks like they could not give any effort or desire into winning the game. They absolutely deserve to go out. In the first leg,  PSG played better than they did today.  De Ligt, Upamecano and Davies deserve major credit for keeping Mbappe and Messi on a short leash all game long. Their aggressive style of play allowed very few chances for PSG. Sheer domination, great performances.

Bayern give Paris no chance, they defended really well. When i look at the games of Bayern Munich in the Champions League, then they have won every game:

Inter Milan - Bayern 0:2
Bayern - Barcelona 2:0
Bayern - Viktoria Pilsen 5:0
Viktoria Pilsen - Bayern 2:4
Barcelona - Bayern 0:3
Bayern - Inter Milan 2:0
Paris St. Germain - Bayern 0:1
Bayern - Paris St. Germain 2:0

They won every game and scored 2 goals in every game, except one: first match in Paris. I have not seen that before, wow.

Well, Oliver Giroud hasn't been performing well enough recently, he hasn't even scored a goal in the last 4 matches, this is obviously due to his age, but what I was wondering about in their game against Tottenham Hotspur, why did Stefano Piolo take Oliver Giroud off at 81 minutes? supposedly because he's no longer young, he can only be played for the 1st or 2nd half.

PSG have problems not only in the Champions League, they have already started to have problems in Ligue 1, where we can say that PSG are not the only leaders, but they are being overtaken by several clubs. But that's not even the point. After the first game, when Bayern won away, there was probably no doubt that they would also win at home.

That's right and even though PSG had 55% ball possession, it didn't come across like that. It didn't feel like PSG had any control over the game whatsoever except for a few minutes during the first half. The biggest bummer of the game for PSG was that Sommer's mistake wasn't punished. Not hitting the empty goal is a shame from that distance...

If the whole Bayern team is fit, it's amazing what a bench they have and how many high quality reserve players there are waiting to be brought on. Sané's performances are a bit volatile, it is going up and down for him, but if even he can stabilize for the last part of the season, then it is pure luxury for Nagelsmann to substitute three players and just bring on Sane, Gnabry Mane and Cancelo! Wow!

If they immediately work their ways into the game and are full of energy, it is hard to defend for a team like PSG that is already down one goal or two goals if you take both legs together. Bayern is part of the favorite list for the title if they play like that.  

Porto vs Inter.
Inter Milan will undergo a pretty tough league when they host FC Porto in the second leg match later and FC Porto is not an easy opponent considering that Inter Milan only scored 1 goal at home with a score of 0-1. However, this score will be a provision for Inter Milan because with a draw, Inter Milan will definitely qualify and prioritize defense because FC Porto will play attack.

Manchester City vs RB Leipzig.
and the results of the Manchester City vs RB Leipzig match were the only matches that ended in a draw, and also Manchester City were the only Premier League team to have managed to draw against their opponent in the first leg, and other British representatives lost.
And I think Manchester City will win this game through a difficult game and also full of drama.

Napoli vs Frankfurt.
and in the first leg match Napoli put in a very good performance against Eintracht Frankfurt at home. and in the second leg Napoli will be the host and I am very sure that Napoli can easily win this match considering its very good and consistent performances in Serie A and also being at the top of the table.

Real Madrid vs Liverpool.
Although Jurgen Klopp has Liverpool's confidence boosted after beating Manchester United 7-0. But the 2-5 defeat to Real Madrid is Liverpool's hard work, which in my opinion is impossible for Liverpool to score a big goal against Real Madrid. And even though Liverpool can win the second leg but who qualify for the next round, it's still Real madrid.

If you look at today's match, PSG actually played not without an attack. It's just that Bayern Munich's defense is very tight. Moreover, Matthijs de Ligt's appearance in Bayern Munich's defense made him very strong, Bayern Munich's goal was safe from conceding. PSG seems to need a lot of changes next season to qualify for at least the quarter-finals of the Champions League, playing without or with Neymar is unlikely to make a difference to today's results.

Without any surprise Bayern beat psg with 2 goals scored in the second half, first half a little calm but in the second half Bayern entered with the attention to score goals and that's what happened after just 15 minutes, after the first goal things started to be more and more complicated for psg team and Bayern completely controlled the match

It was the mistake of the PSG president who made Mbappe permanent as a core player at the club, unfortunately it ended up being disastrous for the team squad, and even damaged the harmony at the club, Mbappe was too unstable to lead a big club like PSG unfortunately he couldn't balance with his big ego, that's  why does this player always get ridicule from some PSG fans..

The remaining matches for the second leg of the round of 16 are

- Porto vs Inter
- Man City vs RB Leipzig
- Napoli vs Frankfurt
- Real Madrid vs Liverpool

From those four matches, I can only predict the advantage for Napoli. and for the rest I still feel doubts. How about you guys. what predictions do you have with the remaining 4 matches above?

This Bayern team is too stubborn, strong and well organized to beat, like honestly, they outclassed PSG in every aspect of the game. Bayern came into the second half as though they were the team down. Excellent individual quality all round, great team work and an unmatched mentality. Tbh PSG is a messed up team and the management is responsible. They have players who have got experience and could help the team succeed in the UCL but all players have to play for Mbappe or themselves. There is no team spirit and unity.

PSG is unable to spread its wings in the Champions League despite having the best squad including Messi in it, this time the PSG step in the Champions League stopped at the Round of 16 after being eliminated by Bayern Munich with an aggregate 3-0. Initially PSG was seeded as one of the strongest challengers in the Champions League, the luxurious squad owned by PSG with high class players has not been able to lift the mentality of PSG in competition in Europe. After the defeat of Bayern Munich at Round 16, PSG must return to focus on local competition which is the only competition that can be won this season.

PSG's elimination signifies Galtier's failure as PSG coach and I even say that PSG this season is worse than last season, because materially PSG's players this season have been quite good but Galtier failed to implement a strategy by utilizing the many quality players in the PSG team.
the loss of Neymar has had a big impact on PSG's front line, it cannot be denied that in the match against Bayern there were not many dangerous opportunities that the PSG team could create.

and again this season PSG failed, even though with the squad they have with the many star players in the squad this team was very favorite at the start of the competition but unfortunately things didn't go smoothly.

Galtier has attempts to make a different strategy yesterday apparently losing Neymar does any affect for PSG performance and during the match i didn't see any good opportunities for PSG players to scores goals and before the match begin Galtier know the quality of Bayern players and he was used 5 midfielders to reduce the aggressiveness of the Bayern midfielders but the strategy doesn't run well and PSG eliminate without scoring goals and although PSG changed coach but there were no progress for them in this competition even they were repeat their last season achievement with not able to qualified to quarterfinal 2 times in a row

Yes I agree with your opinion. PSG must immediately evaluate Galtier, it has been proven that he is indeed unable to manage a team with many star players. The manager who was initially believed to be able to realize the PSG project in the Champions League turned out to be a total failure.

The elimination of PSG in the Champions League certainly made the owner very angry, because the target was very clear, namely to bring back the most prestigious trophy in Europe to Paris. But I also see that Galtier is not only to blame, the President must also evaluate the technical director, because they were not able to work properly so that the road map that had been prepared well did not go as expected.

The match was not as interesting as I thought.  Both teams were a little floppy in their attacks. Harry Kane didn't show so much quality because he didn't use some of the opportunities he had well. The Milan team was better because they didn't allow their one-goal advantage to make them relax. They continued attacking the Tottenham side until the end of the match. Tottenham's inconsistency in this second half of the season has affected their performance. Harry Kane's lifelong ambition to lift the champions league has been dashed maybe he would have to focus on the premiership where the club faces strong opposition from Manchester City,  Manchester United, and Arsenal.

Giroud was missing so many chances. I do aware that if he becomes even older. I can't expect a huge thing that will come from him. Milan needs a new player that has very good execution. Glad to see that maignan has been saving milan in the last minutes. That was a crazy match for milan.

Milan has a chance to make more goals but that's very disappointing to see that milan's striker is not doing pretty well in that match. Totenham has two shots on target while milan as three shoots. The gap between both is not so big but glad to see that milan entered into the last 8 again.
The draw is far better rather than seeing totenham win with 1 goal. Congratulations to milan for beat totenham. It must be noted that kane if he must move to the new club.

Rich clubs with star players are unable to reach their dreams to get the UCL trophy for the first time after being defeated by Bayern Munich 2-0 in the second leg at the Allianz Arena. PSG failure to go to the quarterfinals made Messi fail again to play in the quarterfinals of UCL since leaving Barcelona. Bayern Munich Players very confident since the beginning of the match, their motivation to win the game is very high because of his status as host in this match. In addition, victory in the first leg became an additional motivation for Munich players to complete the match with victory.

The sturdy of the Bayern Munich defense made it difficult for PSG strikers to score goals, PSG who rely on Mbappe and Messi on the front lines was unable to break through the defense of Munich which was guarded by De Ligt and friends. The player's material owned by PSG is very good and some of them have won the UCL trophy, this failure is an important lesson for PSG officials in determining coaches who are able to utilize the quality of players to triumph in European competition.

anyway, Bayern has something which PSG doesn't have, called champions mentally. As good as PSG have, best player, formation and coach, but PSG don't have in what Bayern have, because of that PSG it's not easy to go through that mentally. I don't surprised if rich club like PSG, Manchester city or other is not rising up like they was in local league.

In the previous match, PSG lost 1-0 against Bayern Munich, but in today's match they lost 2-0. In other words, the goal difference between Bayan Munich and PSG is 3-0. Despite losing the first leg 1–0, PSG had a chance to win the second leg and make it 2–0. But PSG lost there, they were eliminated from the Super Sixteen of the UEFA Champions League this season, like the previous season. But not without praising Bayan Munich's game. But Bayern Munich have performed brilliantly. They played a more aggressive game in this match than the previous match. Congratulations to Bayern Munich on securing their place in the Super Eight.
