Mbape currently holds the record for most goals scored, and Messi has won the trophy in the World Cup. They both put on incredible performances in the recently concluded World Cup, but I don't think that can be used to predict who will win the Champions League. Mbape won the 2018 World Cup, but PSG couldn't win the Champions League even when he had Neymar. Maybe, now that Messi is present, their chances may improve.

Looking at the basic review of the completed group stage, it appears that a lot of people are overlooking Liverpool and Napoli, who won all of their games in the group stages while other teams were given credit for advancing to the knockout stage. 

Indeed, that is the reality, Real Madrid is now more focused on young Brazilian talents, but Endricki can only join the Los Blancos squad in 2024. Regarding Vini in the future, he will be an extraordinary figure individually and it is possible that later he can compete with mbappe for won an award.

I think Bayern Munich's absence in the match should not be a reason why Bayern Munich is not more favored in the match. They still have time to bring in a goalkeeper who will replace Manuel Neuer. What's more, they are currently moving so actively with rumors of several very high-quality goalkeepers. The round of 16 starts in mid-February, so there is still plenty of time for them to find a suitable replacement for Manuel Neuer.

Yes, there is no doubt that Real Madrid is indeed a very strong team, even without Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is among the strongest teams in world football. but unfortunately, Karim Benzema, who is a star at Real Madrid, seems to still not have fully recovered from his injury, of course, this is a serious concern for Carlo Ancelotti for the front line of attack because no one can replace Karim Benzema on the front lines. If it is true that Kylian Mbappe is recruited by Real Madrid it will definitely be very strong, but will PSG let Mbappe go in the transfer market in January? I think Christophe Galtier still wants Mbappe to play at PSG.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is injured which is a major drawback for the team. PSG is seeing its players like Messi and Mbappe in their best performance this season which should push the chances of PSG a lot. It is quite difficult to guess the winner since Bayern could trash their opponents quite easily whenever they are playing good but I guess PSG will not let them do that the Barca way

I'm really surprised how much in football there is talk about luck as the main reason for someone's success or when someone's victory cannot be explained on the basis of rational statistical data.
If you followed the news from the last 2 world championships, you could conclude that Croatia is the luckiest national team in the world because they were second and third in the world mainly thanks to crazy luck and not the quality of the team.
In a similar way, many neutral observers concluded that Real became the champion of Europe this year thanks to crazy luck, because they deserved to lose from their opponents many times, but they miraculously won every time.
Both of these are actually underestimation of the great and well-deserved successes of Croatia and Real.
Both Croatia and Real had the X factor in those matches, something that their opponents did not have, and which helped them to win.
That factor X is difficult to explain, but it is the reason why Manchester City and PSG have not been able to win the Champions League for years, even though they have more money and better players than Real, and Real has won the Champions League 5 times in recent years, if I remember correctly.
Factor X could be explained as a firm belief that you will win even though everything is against you, complete self-confidence and faith until the end.

Since the round of 16 will take place over two leg, it is difficult to guess which team between them will qualify for the next round considering PSG and Bayern Munich are teams that have equally good strengths. In terms of chances, I have the same view as you that Paris Saint Germain has a greater chance of going to the next round than Bayern Munich.
Of course what I say is not a reference because anything can happen when the match is played for both leg.

All teams will be stronger in the knockout phase because they have a plan to qualify for the next phase. That's why it's difficult to determine who will win the match because the teams will try to do their best, and sometimes the quality of the team and the players will not determine victory.

I'm not underestimating Bayern Munich, but of course PSG look more likely to win that match. After all, PSG is one of the favorites this season even though in fact they always fail. Bayern Munich have experience, of course that will make them have something more than PSG. Bayern Munich are also favourites, as are Real Madrid and all the other Premier League team to qualify for the last 16.

Competition in the Champions League is so tight, the composition of the players owned by many clubs does not guarantee they can win the Champions League, Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City had the perfect squad last season. But in fact it was Real Madrid who managed to come out as champions. That is, the strength of the players owned by any club cannot fully guarantee becoming a champion.

Real Madrid is superior in terms of experience and the winning mentality they have is difficult to beat, especially if they have reached the semi-finals and finals.

Bayern Munich has always been a strong challenger in the Champions League, they always appear consistently even though in the last few seasons it has been difficult to come out as champions. Mane is Bayern Munich's strength in the attacking position, he is more productive than when he played at Liverpool, even without Robert Lewandowski who was sold to Barcelona, Bayern Munich is increasingly consistent and appears quite strong.

It's a big mistake when people underestimate the strength that Bayern Munich has this season, because the competition will only give birth to one champion but that doesn't mean that other clubs are weak and aren't strong challengers.

Luck can't make them sequentially beat PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester City who were the most nominated teams to win that title, what helped them is the winning mentality they showed. This season, I think Real Madrid is far from the competition, Manchester City with Halland and PSG with all their stars seem to be the strongest and most passionate teams. However, we should look at the winter transfer market before making a prediction, with the World Cup ended recently, the market this year should be on fire.

This money is to big for Reall Madrid to offer just a player. Even if  they wants Mbappe this is not the amount of money they will be paying him. I don't think it Mbappe is ready to leave PSG, because is not yet ready to sell him out.

It's also not certain that this will happen to Real Madrid, because the Champions League itself hasn't reached the semifinals so there are many other possibilities that could happen beyond what many people expect, and I don't think this should be judged too early for Real Madrid. Because the last 16 matches haven't started yet, it's still difficult to know whether Real Madrid will be able to survive until the final or will even be overwhelmed in the last 16.

I don't really dare to predict the PSG vs Bayern Munich match, because in my opinion these two teams are really strong and have experienced player players, but Bayern Munich must be wary of PSG strikers Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, really scary for Bayern Munich's defense they have speed  and good tactics, this is what Bayern Munich must improve, otherwise it will be very difficult to win..

Having bright players are nothing at all in football
If you don't play as a club and team you are loosing that game
That game is hard to tell both sides are too good to know who wins

It isn't always about having a strong squad as that without experience is nothing. This isn't the first time Manchester city are having a strong squad, since the takeover by the City Football Group Limited and Pep Guardiola, have always had a strong squad but have failed to win the tournament. Also Real Madrid didn't need a strong squad last season to win the tournament instead they had experience both on and off the field. Mbappe going to real Madrid doesn't guarantee them winning the tournament although it will strengthen their campaign because they now have more speed in the team which they can use against their opponent.

Also don't underestimate Bayern Munich, although they haven't won the title as much as Real Madrid still they're a force in the tournament and always one of the favorites. Even with losing Luwadusaksi to Barcelona, they're still one of the top scorers of the tournament meaning they don't need Luwadusaksi to win the tournament as much as people are thinking. They now have Mane which contribute alot to any team that he's playing in both off and on the ball.

I cannot agree with you. Real Madrid were very lucky to win the title last season. At the same time, Benzema's consistently good performances helped Madrid win the Champions League title. But this season Benzema's fitness is not good. He is unable to stay with the squad due to injury. I think Real Madrid will be eliminated in the semi-finals.

This price is outrageous for only one player; they must be desperate for him to pay such a high price for him. Will Mbappe cave and leave like that? The benefits he stands to gain at PSG are substantial enough to keep him there, and the club would be reluctant to let him go after his outstanding performance at the World Cup. I know Real Madrid has the money, but I believe they should stop pursuing him in this manner if he does not want to join them and find another player to replace Benzema as soon as possible.

Madrid will win the Champion league again, I don't see any club stopping them . They're confidence and solid, very hard to beat. From the defence to the attack. Signing mbappa to this team is a cheat, they will dorminate Laliga for years because they're very Young and good. I wish this Mbappa deal comes to pass.

Most of Milan fans will always be curious how far Milan will go in this competition but first of all they have to beat Tottenham and this not easy considering Tottenham has Conte which is very experience to beat Italian teams and under Pioli actually Milan cannot showed good progress in champion league even last season Milan hasn't performing well and finish at 4th position on group stage and indeed this year Milan achievement was quite better because they can qualified to round of 16 but currently Milan still involved race title along with Napoli at their domestic league so lets see whether they considers champion league as important target or not and in my opinion Milan vs Tottenham has chance 50-50 which is they have equal chances to qualified

Real Madrid will most likely be the deadliest team in the world if they eventually sign Kylian Mbappe. Kylian Mbappe, to me is the beast player in the world signing him into a Real Madrid team with quality players like Vini Jr, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo these are the best young players in the world presently. Real Madrid will become a formidable team if Kylian Mbappe joins. And will more than ever increase their chances of winning the championship over again.
