Losing Neymar is becoming more difficult but looking at their performance in Ligue 1 facing a big match when they Nmeet Marseille now they are clearly in high spirits.
Even though it's like that it will be very difficult now when you look at Bayern who are still quite good.
Anyway it will be worth the wait but I think if there is a winner it will be close and just a narrow win. Even though I expect a very exciting game just like when Liverpool faced Madrid in this match.
Finding a good replacement for Neymar is becoming a very difficult task for Liverpool and this have really affected the club negatively this season, because if you look back at Liverpool performance last season when Neymar was still in the club, it was excellent at least even though the did not. Win the championship trophy, but they standing then was far better that now and in last season Liverpool even won a trophy the FA cup was something we will not forget in a Shorttime.

-But the most important question now is, will Liverpool be able to fine a good attackers and front players that will convert all the goals opportunities into goals score, because what Liverpool is not good player but and attacker who will possibly penetrate the 18 for them.

RB Leipzig is not a small team; they are one of the most competitive teams you can face right now. Manchester City's game against them in the first leg shows how strong they are and should not be underestimated by any team. If RB Leipzig defeats Manchester City in the second leg, it would be a shocking end to one the season best Premier League champions contender. This is not a league match, so if they want to win the second leg, they must be extra prepared and not relent on a goal, as RB Leipzig will surprise them and win.
No matter what Leipzig played in they previous leg against Manchester City, it still ball down to one thing which that Leipzig shouldn't be a big obstacle to man city at this point in the premiere league this is because Manchester city is the defending champion so at that they are better experienced and confident compared to smaller club like Leipzig.
But in football sometimes experience doesnt matter what matters is how prepared the team is and how their utilize the chances that come their way.
Manchester City seems to be focusing on the second leg as a reference and considers a draw in the first leg to be very good for them.
With the conditions that are seen now, I agree that whatever Leipzig does, it looks like Manchester City will not be playing anymore now, even though in this match they cannot be underestimated for Manchester City.

It is too early to talk about Manchester City's championship chance for me. I need to see their performance against one of the title contenders first to have a clearer opinion. I don't expect them to have as big difficulties as they had in the first leg against Leipzig this time. I accept that the result of the first leg was surprising. Manchester City just tried to keep the 1-0 advantage to the end which they shouldn't have done. If they kept applying high pressure over their opponent then the final result would have been different.

I expect them to do this in both halves this time and eliminate their opponent nicely.

Leipzig was almost not on the field in the first half, they were quite bad. We watched a purely dominant City in the first half. But whatever the coach said at halftime, the second half was the opposite, Leipzig played big, this draw is enough for them for now. There was no trace of the football played by City in the first half, but they tried to be effective towards the end of the match, and that was not enough. I think the reason Guardiola didn't make changes in terms of scoring is because he was sure they would beat them at home, but still, if he didn't have a problem with a player like Foden, he could have tried something by not sitting on the bench for 90 minutes. The ball almost didn't touch Haaland's feet properly, he caught an opportunity in the 67th minute and couldn't take advantage of it. When the ball does not come to Haaland's feet, one person is missing. The man has no contribution to play without the ball. City cannot play comfortably without KDB. City somehow passes the tour but after that it seems difficult.

Of course not everything has ended in the PSG - Bayern Munich draw. But it is the truth that PSG's job will be more difficult in Allianz Arena after that 1-0 loss.

This time at least we need to see all the members of their attacking trio on the field from the start of the game. This affects them very much as we see its example in the first leg. In Mbappe's absence PSG couldn't do anything serious against their competitor. I hope none of these players will suffer an injury before the rematch. PSG need to play attacking-oriented in the second leg to score the first goal as quick as possible. If they can't deal with Bayern Munich's domination in their home games then it could be over for them.

Many things will change in some teams in this season that will make Manchester city not to achieve anything from this season. Manchester city experienced draw game from small team in their past game that made people to doubt if Manchester city will win this title. If Manchester city cannot display well in their next games show that Real Madrid or Napoli will  be close to the position to win this title to surprise people.
The way City will play could depend on the punishment they could get. If they get something small then the players will feel fine about everything and they can play amazingly, so far this season they have shown that they can play better than all the previous seasons, plus they got a striker that scores better than anyone they ever played with or against.

However, if they end up getting a punishment that is very severe, like even taking away titles levels, and they have some financial issues, then it could turn out that players may not want to play their best for a team they will leave in a few months, they may start focusing on where they will go next season and not care about UCL this year.

Benfica is clearly the favorite in this game and it will most likely be no surprise in this encounter,Benfica will be getting in the next stage but then once there,there are not anymore "small" teams like Club Brugge which in this year they are not on a good form even in their local league which usually they dominate.They are playing at home,Benfica is going to crush Club Brugge and then hope to get the "easiest" team of them which remain but really there is no easy team after Brugge and it is then when it starts to get beautiful in the Champions League.Unfortunately Benfica has not been able to go past that zone in Champions League in their recent years here.

Club Brugge is going to have hard times against Benfica because in the last game, the had Benfica could successfully win the game with a 2-0 result while they were even playing at home and this time they have to score two goals while playing at Estádio da Luz which can be pretty hard for Club Brugge and I think Benfica is going to have an easy game against Club Brugge.

I thought we would have matches for the CL next week, but apparently there is 3 weeks between the home and away games. Understandable because of the busy schedule, but a pity for the football supporters. PSG still have every chance against Bayern Munich but that will depend on Mbappe's form on the day and how good Messi is. Messi doesn't always have good memories in the CL when it comes to a match against Bayern Munich. I also give RB Leipzig a small chance to continue in the game away at City. They weren't that bad in Austria.

Indeed, it looks like Real Madrid will be the UCL champion again this season because of all the teams that competed in the first leg, only Real Madrid has been confirmed to qualify for the next round. But indeed, several other teams also have the same opportunity, such as Napoli and Bayern Muchen, who could become candidates for the UCL title this season as well. But for Manchester City, in my opinion, they will at least be able to qualify for the semifinals, even though they have the same aggregate as Leipzig, but in the second leg, I'm sure Pep Guardiola's squad will win the match.
I am not sure before their game against Liverpool they had a lot of injuries and Liverpool are 1 of the worst teams in the Champions league this season and judging Real Madrid on the performance against them is not going to be the same when they face better opponents. Real Madrid still conceded 2 goals early and any other team in the Champions League could have probably held onto that lead. I think Real Madrid are 1 of the favorites but I am not confident enough to bet on them winning the trophy.

It is a great analysis that you do, of course I as a good fan of Real Madrid would bet, because I see that things in the League for Real Madrid are very uphill, however nothing is impossible in football, Barcelona lost Europe League, they are in a very difficult moment, but they have a great advantage, they can still be champions, the League is very important for Real Madrid, that is a fact but when you see it from another point of view, I think Florentino prefers to have the "orejona" than the league, and in my opinion it is not bad at all.

There are some teams that have an easy match because they have a weaker opponent, and also they already have an aggregate goal. Benfica being one of those teams, they faced Club Brugge and they already have 2 goals saved. With Benfica's superiority they are a team that will occupy a place in the quarter-finals in my opinion, because I personally don't believe there will be any surprises in the second leg later.
The Benfica match could have been a draw had the team not got two plenty. Benfica were able to get two penalties due to the mistakes of the opposition team and with that opportunity they were able to secure the victory of the match.

I think the teams with the highest chances to make a come back and qualify for the next round are chelsea and tottenham since they lost only 1 0 in their away game i think tottenham team has a bigger chance since their opponent is not at its best recently.
No team has been able to score a goal so far. However, Chelsea have kept more control of the game to themselves. Although the current is playing better so far, I can't predict which team will secure the victory. Because both teams have enough good players who will be able to score at any moment.
Chelsea lost to Tottenham after a great game. But in this match, Tottenham has adopted a great strategy. The team was able to capitalize on the opportunities and score goals. On the other hand, Tottenham's defense has shown a great game.

Manchester City might even be the only English team left in the Champions League after the rematches. I'm already seeing Liverpool out of here of course. I don't feel positive about Chelsea either. Tottenham actually have a chance if they play a little better home. 1-0 is not a score that is very difficult to make a comeback from against a team like Milan. Milan aren't as strong as they were many weeks before.

Most probably Manchester City would progress the most here as as an English team. But I have doubts about them to win the title as well for now.

In my opinion, on the contrary, 0-1 against Milan is worse than even 0-2 (if the score was like that) from Dortmund. One goal advantage is historically all it takes for an Italian team to win. Now they have a simple game plan with Tottenham - to destroy the opponent's game and catch a chance on counterattacks, while Tottenham need to invent something to open the Milan defense without conceding a goal. With Tottenham so many losses this season, it looks like a daunting task.
I can't say that before the second leg is really over. The reason is that in football it is very possible for something to happen that can be said to be realistically impossible. I might agree that Liverpool will be eliminated, but with the other 2 clubs it looks like they still have a very big chance, moreover the goal they have to chase is 1 goal. Manchester City might be superior because they drew and only needed to score 1 goal to make them advance to the next round, but Leipzig is a club that could give them a big surprise, moreover, in the first leg they could play well.

Maybe, but definitely. there are still other candidates to be considered. if Bayern wins in the second leg over PSG, Bayern Munich will be a team that is highly calculated to be one of the strong challengers in this competition. on the other hand, I am quite optimistic that City will beat Leipzig in the second leg which will take place at the Etihad Stadium.

Meanwhile, if in the end Liverpool and Frankfurt failed by their respective opponents. meaning, these two teams will meet each other in the next phase. in fact, we can not predict it yet. because Napoli is not a weak team. they also have an impressive record, both in domestic leagues as well as in the Champions League. but for sure, we will only be able to wait until the round of 16 ends and which teams have the right to advance to the next round phase.
Even if PSG lose the first leg, I think they still have chance to win at the Allianz Arena, as well as Liverpool who will visit the Santiago Bernabéu. Liverpool's chances are very low, but I think good chance PSG can still hope for in the second leg. Also regarding Manchester City against Leipzig, I think Pep Guardiola's team will win and qualify for the quarter-finals.

PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Inter, Napoli and Tottenham are the teams I think will qualify, but several other teams seem to have the same chance too even if they have lost the first leg.

If Milan's recent domestic league match is a reference, I actually think maybe it was part of their preparations for the Champions League. Because even if they play ambitious, it will still be difficult for Milan to defend their title in Serie A. I have a different opinion about Milan and Tottenham.

While for Chelsea, I'm not sure if the home match will make them play better

If it's about Tottenham and Chelsea then I personally believe in Tottenham but for Chelsea, it seems that Chelsea doesn't have a good ability to make a comeback. Losing 1-0 in the first leg is not a guarantee they will be able to comeback easily, because at this moment they are not having a stable performance.

Therefore, Dortmund and Milan still have a chance to be able to maintain an aggregate win and maybe they can win again in the second leg later. But for Tottenham, I think I'm still pretty sure that Tottenham might come back in the second leg later.
