If you look at the condition of the two teams this season, yes, there really isn't any potential for Liverpool to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League this season in the round of 16. But Liverpool also still have the opportunity to make a better strategy in the Champions League in a few days or before the game starts. Although predictably this is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool with their bad conditions this season, while Real Madrid still doesn't deserve to be said bad because Real Madrid can still rise in the domestic league and also in the Champions League.

I have learned something in football I draft from Real Madrid last Champions League season, a match isn't over until it is over, we quickly make assumptions that when a team is underperforming in a match event, people become emotional that they will lose but Real Madrid last year performance was the biggest in Champions League that surprise everyone, how they moved from knockout stage to lose to PSG and won in the second leg and that was how they all did till the final day and Liverpool eventually lost to them, they can still perform the similar thing in their domestic Laliga league that everyone thinks they are hopeless to reach and no doubts, Real Madrid is coming out of this knockout stage successfully.

We can see how this will happen or not based on how the PSG coach will manage the tactic later. Because there is not only Messi who becomes the star in PSG, but Mbapee actually also is If talking about Neymar, I don't think it will be probably because his performance is now very decreasing. But Mbapee, is also very good player right now. If both Messi and Mbapee can maximize the chance, it is probably. But once more, Bayern has a strong squad, moreover, their midlines and defenders are very strong. Next, they will play against Bayern in the Allianz, so it may be more difficult there.
The second leg will take place in the next month so things can change for these two teams. I see that Psg will be a little under pressure in the second leg later because they will play in an away game against Bayern Munich. Bayern looked stronger in the first leg and I think they will be even more aggressive at home. Indeed, PSG have many stars in their squad, but if Galtier can't manage a stronger strain of play in the second leg then I'm sure Bayern will be able to advance to the next round.

besides that Chelsea also lost in the first leg which will make their players have to try hard in the second leg later. the advantage for chelsea is that they host the second leg so the opportunity is still wide open for them.

Real Madrid has always performed well on the UCL stage even though the domestic league is underperforming and this has been proven in the previous few seasons while Liverpool has not.
the meetings of the two teams are always interesting, even in the previous few seasons Liverpool seemed to have a grudge that was never avenged for Real Madrid.
now the situation has been different in previous seasons and Liverpool have been so down this season so I think it is almost impossible for them to beat European kings Real Madrid.

I wonder whether klopp wanna use the same strategy or not. The win against everton can't become a good reason to say the performance of liverpool has been increasing again. that's gonna be easy money for people to placed bet for madrid.

Real Madrid is a very experienced team in the Champions League. And Madrid boss Ancelotti is very experienced. He has a very good understanding of the opponent's weaknesses. And adjust his match strategy accordingly. We have seen erratic performances from Madrid in the last few matches. But with the return of Benzema's squad in the last match, Madrid's performance improved. They won quite easily against Elche. As Benzema is now with the Madrid squad. So I will definitely bet Madrid to win this match. The condition of the Liverpool team is now deplorable. In this situation, it is almost impossible for them to win against an experienced team like Madrid.
I can't say anything about Liverpool's current state, to be honest it's hard to say that they will be able to give Real Madrid a fight, although I don't rule out that they will. But seeing what they experienced in the Premier League it makes sense when we, especially I, give them a lot of doubts. Moreover, they have a bad record when they have to face Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Next week the most striking matchup seems to be like Liverpool v Real Madrid. Liverpool are the favourite side for taking the victory here but I wouldn't trust them fully now. Because they are still a quite unbalanced team. I must admit that there were positive things in the match against Everton. It has been a long time since we saw them that much effective in scoring goals. But there is a big question mark about whether they can maintain this effort against Real Madrid as well.

The match is in Anfield maybe but it doesn't matter where it is played in this kind of big matches actually. Real Madrid are much different in the Champions League which is why they have dominated the tournament most of the time. Considering Liverpool's current condition I wouldn't be surprised to see a draw at the end of this leg.
Tough game to come for Klopp and his team. Real Madrid seem to be firing up again, two wins for Real Madrid in the last two games and we know how well they play in the Champions league but they are not new opponents to Klopp so he wil be able to figure tactics to try and get a win.

It was a very entertaining game between Chelsea and Dortmund although it didn't reflect much on the scoreline but I enjoyed the game. Chelsea played well but couldn't get goals, three games in a row with just two goals recorded so far, I think Potter needs to work on his attacking and finishing strategy.
Chelsea missed so many games without winning the game. As chelsea fan and i can't even accept it anymore. How many times potter was made excuses being said if the performance from chelsea has been improving a lot without even winning a single match? This is a very bad achievement by potter with chelsea. Chelsea already bought some players in january but none of these players were effectively making goals for chelsea. Felix was only making a single goal which is very bad. Potter must be sacked.
There must not be a second chance for chelsea under him or chelsea will go out from UCL. You can't even call chelsea's gameplay good gameplay. There's no team winning trophy without even making a goal to win the match.

There's no way Chelsea are getting back to scoring goals without a proper striker playing up front.
Kai Havertz is just too poor in that role. I admit they were unlucky at some points in the game but they haven't really improved as a team. It's a shame Enzo Fernandez couldn't match Adeyemi's pace for the goal. All he had to do was not lose his man but then he was outclassed there. It will be a difficult job coming back from this loss to advance and they have their job cut out for them. In general, game well played, everyone played well. From Hakim to Kepa all showed quality. They deserved a win but this is football and sometimes luck is required.
This seems to be the major problem now, the team has been showing good improvements defensively and in the midfield but finishing has been the point were the team is really lacking. IMO I think Fofana who is a striker should be played ahead of Kai Havertz in the attacking position for Chelsea and see how productive that could be.

I didn't expect such a performance from Chelsea, I must say they surprised me. The first half was a different game and the second half was different. Both teams were equal in the first half and Chelsea dominated the second half. But they struggled to score goals. Still, this performance gave some fans hope for the team to recover.
There is not much to say about the Club Brugge - Benfica match. The difference in performance and quality between the two teams is obvious. Benfica would have won comfortably even if it was away. This result didn't surprise me either. They could have scored more goals.

Both teams are struggling but Liverpool is not even close to the level they were before and clearly Real Madrid is the favorite in this duel. For Klopp this is the tournament that can save the season after such a terrible one and i think there wont be much goals between these two teams.
Tbh i wouldn't say Real Madrid are struggling all that much, yes they have fallen a little bit below Barcelona, but they are still very much in contention to win the league title in Spain, the advantage Barcelona has over them is very much recoverable, and thus i think they can bounce back. But in Liverpool's situation, there is no chance of them winning the EPL or even qualifying for the CL through finishing in one of the top four positions, thus they must win the CL this season if they want to play in the CL next season.

Having said that, Liverpool have a very slim chance of winning the CL, i don't even think they would get past Real Madrid in the RO16, with the way Liverpool are playing, it looks like it is going to be pretty easy for Real Madrid to pick them apart; but the good news for Klopp is that some of his injured players are returning back to fitness, thus they might give them a boost and actually give Ancelotti's boys a good run for their money.

Liverpool was feeling so confident with the result against everton in EPL. I think that winning champion league is the only way for liverpool to participate in the champion league next season. it's not possible anymore for liverpool to enter into the top 4.
Even though some players of madrid are too old at this moment but they have very good performance. Liverpool must be careful with benzema. Benzema becomes a threat for liverpool once nunez is not as good as benzema.

Liverpool - Real Madrid game is really going to be quite interesting. Liverpool have been a much better team in the Champions League so far compared to their look in the English Premier League. But their last performance against Everton in their league was also something really good. But we will see if they can play solidly against a team like Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have been their nightmare so far. They have lost so many times to Real Madrid and they would like to put an end to this as a result. But they have a really difficult job about it. Because Real Madrid are actually the most feared team in the tournament secretly as they have won this title many times recently as well.
You are right about Liverpool's performance this season hasn’t been the same as previous seasons after parting ways with key players like Sadio Mané. However, they have shown a promising gameplay in the UEFA Champion's League, having advanced to the 1/8 finals wasn’t an easy challenge where we could see many big teams fail getting here. Their next opponent Real Madrid is a very strong team in UCL playing with a different face despite their struggles in LaLiga we are going to witness a beautiful match next week in my opinion.

Liverpool is struggling to return to form. And we see Liverpool's poor performance in the Premier League. I forget the last time I saw a good performance from this team. On the other hand, Real Madrid's performance was unstable while Benzema was injured. But Real Madrid played well in the last match. Benzema is back from injury. Real Madrid won 4-0 against Elche. Real Madrid will win if Benzema is with the squad against Liverpool. And if Benzema can't stay with the squad, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to beat Liverpool.

Well , a lot of unexpected events happened in champions league .. remember barcelona who lost 4-0 at the first leg but then get through the next round after beating psg 6-1 making the aggregate 6-5 , crazy indeed football especially a competition like champions league often provide such things.

Tottenham , chelsea , psg and brugge who lost at the first leg could still do more at the second leg , remember just remember.
The scenario could still be like that, especially for now, the defeats of Tottenham and Chelsea are still not too far away. But for Club Brugge actually it's still a bit difficult I think because from the start they were the underdogs.
But even though Brugge are stuck here, I think this is the best achievement for them, regardless they have had a big advantage after qualifying for this phase.

I don't know the kind of expectation you had for Chelsea. To me, Chelsea didn’t do more than I expected them and they also didn't perform less than I expected them. What they performed is what they were supposed to perform until next season when the signings they are having now will blend well with the team. Then you will see the newly birthed Chelsea where every match would be approached with confidence.
Most of us have given up on Chelsea even before the season began and judging from their previous performance in tge last season and the many crises that have rocked the club which have affected their player's motivation, it is undoubtedly sure that Chelsea will not make any positive impact in this season.
-Chelsea needs a total reformation to be able to get the club on track if not, Chelsea will continue to ride on past glory which is not good for the future of the club.
-I hope before the start of the next season Chelsea will have all that sorted out to have a different good result next season since they have lost out on this season.

Of the 4 matches that have been completed in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, maybe only Benfica won the game comfortably. Yes, it happened because their opponent was Club Brugge, which was not favored more than Benfica. With the 2 goals they won, it will make them even more comfortable when holding the second leg at their own cage, because if it's like that then they just need to hold back and try to set the tempo of the game and as much as possible so that Club Brugge can't create a the aggregate shrinks and even equalizes. I think they will do well in the second leg.

Qualifying for the next round will not be difficult for Benfica. Club Brugge is not a strong team. And this team is not in good form right now. If Benfica's players can perform somewhat consistently then they will be able to beat Club Brugge again in the second leg.

Bayern Munich won against PSG by a narrow margin of 1-0. So the match of the second leg of these two teams will become more competitive. Both teams will play to win. And PSG's situation is not good now though. However, I think both teams still have equal chances to qualify for the quarter-finals.
  I  can recall what happened to Napoli in the round of 16 phases of the 2012 champion league when Chelsea won their first champions league title. Chelsea was considered a weaker team than the current club Brugge, but they triumphantly overcame Napoli in the second leg after losing 2 goals for them in the first leg. Champion league knock-out stages to the final Phase are always unpredictable so u might be wrong to conclude that Benfica is already done with the round of 16 just after the first leg.

I think the result between Dortmund and Chelsea is very logic because the clubs is having two defferent situation in their championship, Dortmund is having a run of 6 victories in a row in all competitions while Chelsea team Keep struggling in the medal of the standings in the EPL, Chelsea must do everything to get the qualification from the second match because that's all what left for them in my opinion

Chelsea give hope to their fans I agree with that, because in this first leg match I can say that their game was more promising even though in the end they still had to narrowly lose by 1 goal to Borussia Dortmund. They still have a chance in the second leg later, they will also be more motivated to avenge their defeat and turn things around so they can get rid of Borussia Dortmund.
