Their hype about the 7 goal drama at Anfield is one of the things that is difficult to control but facing Madrid of course this is not easy.
I still feel that even though in the end Madrid still haven't been able to return to their initial performance and are still hampered by the productivity of their current goal which is hampered but I still believe Madrid will still advance to the next round it's just that this must be accompanied by performance of course and we will see in the near future about this match.

Liverpool shocked the world with a tremendous performance against Manchester United yesterday but against Real Madrid, I believe it will be a whole different task from playing against United because when you come to the Champions league Real Madrid are at their best performance. Liverpool might put up a good performance but being 3 goals down will be a tough one to come back from against Real Madrid so I think it is almost impossible for Liverpool to qualify.

Also as we knew sometimes Pep can experiment hard and it doesn't always end well.

Chelsea team will need to win with a goal difference of 2 or more to qualify for the next round and considered their poor offensive performance their fans should be worried, their oppoonent dortmund are in a great shape and they are rivaling bayern in the bundesliga they are on a winning streak so beating them mean that chelsea players need to be in top shape i think the manager has a lot of work to do.

Leipzig are a very dangerous team to play against, they are definitely nothing close to Manchester City, but on their own day they can be a stubborn opponent to beat. City didn't play well in the first leg, they were sloppy and didn't create too many chances to put the game to bed, the longer you leave those sort of games open at 1 nil or any close scoreline, the more the opponent grows into the game and can prolly hit an equalizer from somewhere and that was what happened on that night.

Having said that, City are expected to improve so well in this second leg game, and i think they will, but bad news for City is that Leipzig are coming into this game with something to play for, they know they have a chance, and i am pretty sure their manager has been working on the tactics to use, which i think would be to sit back and try and contain City for as long as possible, and when they have their chance, they have to take it, City have to be careful, if not they could get eliminated.

I think they will never lose the advantageous score they won in the first match. Real Madrid will continue to take advantage of Liverpool's weaknesses. Liverpool's self-confidence must have been restored with the score in the Manchester United match for the return match. If they continues like this and plays attacking football against Real Madrid, Real Madrid has players who will not forgive the positions they find vacant.

I think this is the only chance Liverpool has, that everyone looks at them as if they were eliminated already. It is the best thing that can happen to them because as soon as they score an early goal, they know exactly how everyone will start thinking back and forth saying to themselves "what if". What if Liverpool scores a second goal before the half time break? What if Real Madrid makes a mistake like in the first game? Will they turn it around again and finish 5-2 at home? Certainly not!

There is one statistic though that Real Madrid will benefit from:



Real Madrid has very good control with the ball this season. Their midfield understands how to keep control of the game. That accuracy saves them a lot of energy during the games and when Liverpool should score early, Real Madrid is still experienced enough to know what to do.

Sure thing that manchester city on the paper statistically must win the match against leipzig next week but you know what ? Manchester city under pep guardiola since 2016 well known as a mr failure in champions league , he even blow the biggest chance to win this prestigious title back in 2021 beaten by chelsea at the final.

Poor pep , the chance for him to fail this time still there await at their own home etihad stadium, we'll just see.

Liverpool has not been a stable team this season. This win against Manchester United is impressive though. Real Madrid had a great advantage in the first match. I look at this game with the eyes that Liverpool will definitely be eliminated. Manchester United continued the pressure after conceding two goals and conceded every time they attacked. As this is a knockout match, the situations and tactics will be completely different. Real Madrid will easily knock out Liverpool with only a defensive and counter-atack

Liverpool got an excellent win against Manchester United yes, but the Real Madrid match will not be easy.  After the Champions League is in question, both teams will continue the match very carefully.  If Liverpool can recover from the heavy defeat in the first match, it will be considered a greater success than the Manchester United match.

It can't be managed because Neymar didn't want him to get injured of course but now it's happened and making a fuss about it won't end well either.
I think Galtier should start with a situation where they have to implement some plan in attack later.
Neymar doesn't have an automatic attack in his position, it's a little shaky and like it or not, they have to find other alternatives now.
Mbappe and Messi we certainly respect this player but with Bayern in front of the opportunity they are a bit hindered now.

PSG playing against Bayern munich without Neymar won't have any effect, so far as Messi and Mbappe PSG is still good enough to challenge Bayern Munich.  PSG and Bayern Munich game is always tough and can't be predicted because the both teams have good football quality.

Neymar injury is a big blow for psg, facing bayern with just messi and mbappe. this is a lose match already. in their last game bayern won psg at home. this return leg will be very tough and i see bayern qualifying to the next round.

liverpool  and Real madrid game, liverpool will defeat madrid but they will not qualify for the next round. on goal aggregates.
chelsea and Dormund, i see chelsea will this game and advancing to the next round of the competition.

Official announcement, Neymar will undergo ligament surgery, so it's the end of the season for him. (Break up to 4 months)

But with the official announcement that Neymar will miss PSG against Bayern Munich in Leg 2 at the Allianz Arena, there is more or less an influence for PSG who must set a winning target.
Indeed PSG has a number of good players who might be able to cover Neymar's position, but in my opinion it will not be optimal considering their flying hours are still below Neymar in the UCL.

This situation must be welcomed by Julian Nagelsmann, who is focused on bringing Bayern Munich through to the next round.

Do you think it is an advantage when you play in a weak league and then play against Champions League competitors from the strongest leagues in the world because you can focus better on the CL and neglect your national league? I think it is quite the opposite and I have been thinking that for a long time. When the top teams are challenged every single week and they get used to constant pressure over a long period of time, they don't have to switch gears as much as PSG has to switch gears. You have no real tests and you don't know where you stand until you meet the first big one in the Champions League. In my eyes that is not an advantage.

Again, PSG's defense is not the best, but it is not the worst either. But when you compare it to other teams, when you take the whole defensive movement and overall performance of the whole squad, then it kicks in that PSG has three players standing around at the midfield line while other teams have a compact defense where some of the offensive players also work defensively. That makes quite the difference.

I see so many guys only see in PSG Messi and Mbappe and thinking so all is real and they got chance a win, of course yes, I have respect for this guys ofc. But nobody care about midifielders, whos as 1st leg they only were the backdrop to Bayern, with hude different. (+0 pressing).
Probably in match we will see PSG midi like: N Mendes - Fabian - Vithinia - Verratti, for me this guys as we can see in Uber Eats can fight with Nantes, Tolouse etc. Also next player as Hakimi is off from 2nd match, also problem for PSG.

That's Neymar, he often suffers serious injuries so that when he is needed during important matches, he must be absent, of course, with the spearhead of PSG's attacks, they can only rely on Mbappe and Messi as their main priority in their team.
At least they will try to keep qualifying from this qualifier, while it is said that Bayern Munich can only survive without a goal or a draw is already an advantage for them, but PSG will not remain silent, they will definitely try to put pressure on Bayern Munich's defense.

Looks like it's a difficult one. not an easy job for Klopp and his team to overthrow Real Madrid with a crushing score. Moreover, in the match Liverpool will face Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. doesn't mean Liverpool can't do it, but to score 3 goals without reply is something that is very difficult to do. also, the high pressure of losing in the first leg will greatly affect the mentality and emotions of the Liverpool players. also, we can't be sure Liverpool's performance has recovered to the true track.

After all, the team that Liverpool will fight against is a team that has a winning mentality in this competition. also, Madrid will not let Liverpool's players dictate to them in the second leg match later. and in terms of quality, Madrid has quite a depth. it's just that, in a number of matches in the domestic league, Madrid's performance has slightly decreased.  but that does not mean, Madrid will not provide fierce resistance to the opposing team. at least, El Real only needs a draw to qualify for the next round. However, based on Liverpool's big win over United. it is hoped that this will be a strong impetus to motivate, as well as awaken the mentality and spirit of the team as a whole. as a connoisseur of football, I hope that the two teams that will compete will give their best version of the game in the fight later.

It is so disappointing that at this crucial time PSG will be facing Bayern Munich for the second leg tie without Neymar in their attack but despite his absence I am trusting Kylian Mbappe and Messi to lead the team in a quest for victory and qualification against Bayern Munich. It will definitely not be an easy but PSG are capable of causing Bayern Munich's defense much problems.
