I think they have to play a little aggressively if they want to win this second leg, as well as the strategy they have to implement as well as possible, because this match is important for them, they need a little extra strategic encouragement especially when they face Bayern Munich who have been very good so far. competition, as well as Bayern Munich they have to be observant / thorough in the second leg, will determine who will qualify for the next round, I think Bayern Munich themselves have prepared very well.

The problems facing Chelsea at the moment are comprehensive, besides they are very difficult to score goals they are also experiencing problems in their midfield. Different from last season, now Chelsea lack creative midfielders who can flow the ball mature for the players on the front lines. The flow of the ball between them also didn't go perfectly, and that's what allowed the opponent to take advantage if they made a mistake.

Manchester City must be able to appear to attack and score goals as quickly as possible, after that they can control the game comfortably. In the previous meeting they actually could do it, it's just that they found it difficult to penetrate the defense built by Leipzig and create goals for the second time. They have a good front line, but they can't rely on just one player, like Haaland, because if his spearhead can be stopped by the Leipzig defenders it will cost them. So they must have an option that can destroy the defense from Leipzig.

I think that the odd of 3.85 for Paris is a good one to give a try,it is near 4 and everything can happen with a team like Paris which has a lot of star players in them.I am not saying that I am underestimating Bayern Munchen as you can never underestimate a team like them but I am just saying that it is worth to give a try for Paris because Paris is trying for so many years not successfully to get to win the Champions League and this would be if I am not mistaken their 10th consecutive year without such title.I am not saying that they will qualify but that they have got nothing to lose and will go all in here because in Ligue 1 they are already the winners there.

I think With Neymar out then the 3-5-2 could be the possible formation, they’re by choking Bayern’s midfield and stopping them from using their fast wingers against counter attacks. This formation might really have over work Nuno Mendez and Mukiele but once they get at least a goal then the likes of Carlos soler and Juan Bernat could come on to see the game off. But it is going to be hard match for PSG because of lack of depth upfront

Yes, I agree with you, Real Madrid is very different when playing in the UCL. Real Madrid has been fated to become the True King of Europe, because in the Champions League era, if Madrid had advanced to the final round, they would definitely win and become champions, meaning that the bottom line is that Real Madrid is so tough and powerful when it comes to the UCL final.

It must be admitted that this year's Champions League against opponents Real Madrid was tough from the top 16 to the final, PSG, Chelsea, Man city and Liverpool are all great clubs. Even though they weren't superior at that time and had been unconvincing in the Group phase, in the end Real Madrid's journey paid off.

Honestly, in recent years, Real has been much more successful in the Champions League than in the Spanish Championship, and they have been European champions more times than Spanish champions.
On the other hand, Barcelona dominates the Spanish championship almost every year, but for the last 2 years they have not been able to make it to the knockout phase of the Champions League.
It's really impossible to explain things like this in a rational and logical way.
Last season, Real was underestimated by most experts and miraculously saved itself in many games, and in the end won the Champions League trophy.
Real obviously has that certain factor x that other clubs do not have in the Champions League and that is why they are again my favorites to win the Champions League.

These are some interesting insights. Both graphics are quite telling and it shows what Chelsea has to fix quickly if they want to advance to the next round. Dortmund is a bit weaker when it comes to conceding goals, but that is where Chelsea's problem also is, they just don't score enough and can't exploit that small weakness of Dortmund when you compare them to Chelsea. The expected goals line is also very telling because it says that Dortmund is creating many chance during a game, which means that Chelsea despite playing at home will have a lot of work to do to keep Dortmund away from trying.

The performance trend curve allows only for one interpretation, or not even an interpretation, but an apparent difference between the two teams. Dortmund is above 90 all the time while Chelsea is way worse.

What I don't understand about the performance trend lines, is every subsequent data point scored relative to the previous one? That is sort of misleading because the volatility in Dortmund's line suggests that they are not very consistent, but they are consistently winning, only the number of goals deviates between the data points. It is odd that the 5:1 is so much higher than the 0:2 when you then compare the 4:1 to the 0:1. Do you know how they calculate that line?

Indeed, PSG can also win without Neymar, in the previous match, they played with a 4-4-2 formation and deliberately backed down to accept the defense to take advantage of the space behind Bayern Munich's high defense, they were wrong to use that tactic. I think they need to push the lineup like they did at the end of the game and this time start with a 4-3-3 to look for a goal as soon as the game starts and their defense needs to be more cohesive, not messy, disorderly as recently. Perhaps they must do so to expect a victory over the mighty and comprehensive Bayern Munich.

City's chance to overthrow Leipzig in the second leg is quite big, because in terms of quality, Leipzig is below City. but, what's interesting is the Chelsea vs Dortmund match. because after all, it was not an easy match for Dortmund to move on to the next round phase, even though Dortmund only needed a draw in the match against Chelsea. because, Chelsea will not let Dortmund easily topple them.

At least, this match will present a very interesting match because Chelsea will go all out to win the match over Dortmund. I'm sure Edin Terzic is well aware of that. most likely, Dortmund will play more defensively in the match later. In essence, Chelsea still has a chance to move on to the next phase. because of that, I'm sure this match will present a fierce battle with high game tension even though Chelsea is in a messy performance.

But it's not just about the gap between Chelsea and the top of the table, they can start thinking about the gap when they start earning the points and stop performing like a weak team, while as far as we see Chelsea losing the games against many weak teams and even for any team that's easy to score a goal against Chelsea and beat them while if you check the last games they had Chelsea had problems with forward and scoring goals.

Pep for real knows how to defeat German sides
Liepzig will be no exception when they face Man City during the second of this round
So far they are tur only better premier league side in the champions league this season.

I will be a little hopeful if the match was first held at Santiago Bernabeau and the returning leg was to hold in Anfield. I know a little more impact will be added cuz home advantage plus fans influence will contribute positively to Liverpool's performance.  But as it stands I'm already seeing Liverpool out of the UEFA champion league zone this season . Really do hope Joggen club figures out the main problem of his team so he could start the next season with optimistic results.

It's true that only Liverpool is currently the worst luck among other English clubs. But even if Liverpool can win at the Santiago Bernabeu they have to at least score 3 goals and of course Real Madrid will not let that happen. Jurgen Klopp seems to be ready with the results received later if Liverpool cannot qualify for the next round of the UCL.

The gap between chelsea to the top 4 is too far. It will not able to be chased by chelsea although if chelsea will always be winning the game until the end of season. Chelsea is now facing a difficult situation. The match against dortmund will come very soon. The performance of chelsea was still the same. The goal against leeds can't be considered a good thing to take a conclusion whether chelsea has been entering into the right track or not.

After saw the match against leeds and im not feeling satisfied with the performance from chelsea. Chelsea was losing its way to making goal through used the team work. The ability that already owned by chelsea to make fast counter attack already disappeared.
The goal that already made by fofana was actually lucky goal. Will chelsea play with the same strategy like when it was against leeds united?

Real Madrid has a champion mentality when it comes to their performances in the Champions League. And this is of course not a problem even though it is not so ideal in La Liga but still, but second place is still enough to make Barcelona not always safe. The Champions League is still a breath of fresh air for Real Madrid and the game against Liverpool will be an easy walk. Apart from having capital from leg 1 at least at home matches it will benefit Madrid.

Chelsea won't be among team in the premier league that will be participating for next season, Chelsea performance is not up to champions league standard. Next season will be used to revive and strengthen the team. Chelsea has lots of work to do to improve the team in the way it used to be in the past.

Real Madrid have always been impressing in the Champions league games, they could be performing bad in the la liga and put up a good show the next week in the Champions league. It just shows how much they value the Champions league trophy and this season they are doing it again. At this point, Real Madrid don't seem to have much hope of winning the la liga so all focus will be channelled to the Champions league.

Even though they will play at home in the second leg later which is an advantage for them, they cannot reduce their vigilance towards Leipzig, because the visitors will also be motivated to beat Manchester City to be able to advance to the next round. I really regret that Manchester City couldn't win in the first leg, because from what I saw they were very capable of doing it, and also if only Pep had rotated his players to increase their chances of winning.

The second leg will be a little easier for Manchester City because previously in the first leg Manchester City were able to draw at home to Leipzig. Meanwhile, in the second leg, Manchester City will appear at home with enormous motivation to win the match and that will make Leipzig's chances of winning the match a little tougher. Although unexpected surprises can also occur in the second leg match at home to Manchester City.
