I think actually they're just as strong, with the players they currently have it will be harder to determine who the winner is before the game ends. But indeed from experience PSG not as much as Munich. Even though PSG are filled with star players but I feel they don't have the spirit and mentality to fight hard. Unlike Munich, they are quite superior in some UCL seasons. They have had good statistics. So I think Munich has a better mentality in the game.
In three games Bayern Munich 2 wins and one loss. Even their victory worked at home PSG.
I’m not sure PSG has the mentality to be able to achieve this. We've seen teams crumble when things get tough, and that play style requires a level of mental fortitude that I'm not sure PSG has. Although the transfer window in January may shake things up for the team, I still maintain my stance. Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Napoli have a much better chance.

Mbappe's psychological issue will be resolved before the match because Mbappe, who is now a football hero, also needs the Champions League title.
What happened in the World Cup is normal in football because that is the nature of the game; you either win or lose, but Mbappe's effort was incredible, but luck was not on France's side, and they lost on penalties.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, can play very well without Mane and perform very well because they have good players who can defeat PSG as well.

They can not expect too much from Mane because before his injury, he did not play well for Bayern. So it is unrealistic to expect better performance from Mane after a long injury. Of course we can not under estimate Mane as he is still a big name and a good attacking player with so many seasons appeared in Champions League with Liverpool.
I think Mane has had a good run so far with Bayern Munich. He has 14 appearances in the Bundesliga and managed to score 6 goals and 3 assists. Mane scored 3 goals in 6 appearances in the Champions League, and Mane scored 1 goal in the DFB Cup in 2 appearances and 1 goal in the DFL Super Cup. Then why do you think Mane is not a good player?

That match is important for PSG but in past seasons, they got some big wins in Paris in first legs. Later in second legs, they lost all big advantages and were knocked out by some clubs like Chelsea, Barcelona. In the latest season, they lost against Real Madrid too.
It is certain that both leg will be equally important for both teams. PSG have the good advantage of their attacking qualities, but I often see them having trouble defending especially when the opponent counter-attacks. I think PSG will be the favourites, but let's see what happens.

@ginsan while it’s true that Bayern have injured player’s but PSG too have problems of their own as Mbappe will be psychologically effected and that could harm PSG chances of winning. Furthermore even with these injuries I feel that Bayern will put up a strong fight, and PSG will have to hope that Mbappe and Messi can work together otherwise they’ll find it difficult to win this fixture.

I think that there is enough time for Mbappe psychological feeling to pass and he to feel full power again,he has all the World Cups before him as he is very young of age despite looking extremely mature when playing and that is how true leaders are.

It is going to be a very difficult game though and I would not be surprised if PSG would get eliminated although chances for me for them to be eliminated are real slim,as long as Messi and Mbappe are playing in the same team,PSG then there is nothing to worry I would say.

Of course, PSG will take advantage of the condition of the Bayern Munich team who lost an important player, but considering that the matches will only start in February, Mane can be expected to recover. I don't think Bayern Munich will worry too much about the Champions League, but they seem to be more worried about the Bundesliga coming back soon. Mane's injury is certainly a loss for Bayern Munich because Mane is a very important player after Lewandowski move to Barcelona.

Bayern Munich faced dilemma with two main player are injured, Manuel Neuer have confirmed absent with Bayern Munich until end season after his leg injuring, but for Sadio Mane not official confirm yet how long he need time for recovering, will ability for Bayern Munich against PSG in Champion League or not.

I think PSG have advantage if Bayern Munich missing thier main player actually with Neuer, but have rumor with Croatia goal keeper Dominik Livakovic will replace position by Neuer if reach agreement deal for transfer.
With two injuries of Neuer, Mane and some players had a bad World Cup 2022 with Germany. Bayern will not be actually ready when Champions League returns. Unlucky, their opponent will be PSG that are not easy to beat. Especially PSG will have Neymar, Mbappe, Messi returned to their club after great personal performances in World Cup 2022.

The first leg will be played in Paris in mid-February. I think there is plenty of time to do something if Bayern Munich is really worried about the quality of their team without Manuel Neuer and Mane, it means they have to find replacements in the next transfer window.

maybe psg can take advantage of the weakness of the injuries that hit the bayern munich players. Sadio Mane and Neuer, the two main Bayern Munich players, had to rest because of the injuries they had. It's hard to say that Bayern Munich will be able to provide a good fight in the match if we look at the very strong PSG squad this season. but the match on the pitch will be the answer in 90 minutes. but my prediction is that psg will be able to win this match because psg is stressed by the owner to be able to win the champions league and messi, mbappe and neymar will definitely answer that pressure by giving victory in every game.

psg is a club the majority of their players are very qualified of course the game between psg and bayern munich will be like the fake final presented earlier in the champions league this season.

Newcastle have had a great showing in the English Premier League this season... I hope they don't miss out on the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League before the end of the season... It would be interesting to see Ronaldo, as he's been around the EPL for a long time... If he gets to Newcastle, he will still have a chance to show what he can do in the big competitions... But probably because of his age, not many clubs want to sign him... He wasn't as good at the World Cup as he used to be...

If Newcastle can genuinely maintain this level, I think they will have the chance to play in the upcoming champions league. Looking at how Newcastle has performed against those stronger teams in the Premier League, I can tell that the team is doing a fantastic job. Newcastle has defeated and drawn many strong teams, including Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United. With results like these, it is clear that Newcastle is a team that is truly prepared to compete for the top four.if Ronald  to sign and joined Newcastle I don't see anything wrong with that because Ronald is aware of his advanced age and the fact that no major team wants to re-sign him.

Now that the World Cup has come to an end, the next big event is the Cl. It's a pity that it will take so long before we see the eighth finals, but that's how the calendar is set. Maybe it will also work out well for certain players and clubs. The bookmakers are pretty sure that Liverpool will go through to the next round, I think it's a dangerous division for Liverpool. Maybe for the Liverpool of a few years ago, but not for the current team in this form. Liverpool have about a month to get into shape for the meeting with Real Madrid.
You shall not forget that real madrid has also a month to build its new formation used the new striker if benzema will not able to play during the match against liverpool in the last 16. Real madrid already targeted so many players and one of these players will be coming very soon like endrick. Real madrid will become a hardest opponent for liverpool. We know that so well if real madrid has always the biggest chance to win the champion league. If benzema can play the match with real madrid against liverpool and i think that bookmakers will be making the wrong decision by favoriting liverpool over real madrid but yeah as a user as i can take the advantage as real madrid has bigger odds compared with liverpool. Glad to see that bookmakers were picking liverpool as their favorite.

Haaland definitely resembles Ibrahimovic with his playing style. Even his amazing goal against Dortmund in the Champions League directly reminded me of Ibrahimovic's similar goals in his career. Ibrahimovic scored so many very impressive goals like that so far. It feels nice to see Haaland sharing a skill with one of the best strikers like Ibrahimovic. In the end, this kind of great players are getting close to the end of their careers on one hand. It would be really nice to see them in younger and talented players as well.

Haaland is a candidate to be one of the legends already now. He needs to keep this level for many more years to be called as a legend. His finishing skills are amazingly good and I don't see any match for him among the players who are playing football actively now.
For me Haaland still need to be studied more before drawing a conclusion on whom he is mimicking in his goals scoring skills. Haaland is indeed a great striker and good finisher but he still at the prime of his career when he has gathered all his achievements and goal scoring history we can then say who his style of play resembles.

It's true, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic play differently.  But Ronaldo does not necessarily have to model Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic plays an easy pattern of football and in every aspect, it works for him. Ronaldo applies much skill in football and it works for him. If Ronaldo can't get what he wants with his pattern then so be it. But I Don't Think modeling Ibrahimovic at this old age will be a solution because naturally it wasn't his pattern and as such will make things more difficult for him.
I think what you are saying is very appropriate, because every player who is experienced and is also at a no longer young age, clearly doesn't need to follow other people's patterns in playing soccer to apply it to himself. Because they all have their own pattern of playing so that two different players in different leagues will not have the same thing. So it's true, Ronaldo doesn't need to follow the pattern run by Ibrahimovic and vice versa.

PSG has always been believed to win everything, especially in the Champions League because there are many star players in the squad but that didn't break them so they had to be eliminated by Real Madrid, but this time PSG was also tested quite hard against Bayern Munich at this stage even me I think PSG should be able to surpass this match, especially since several important Bayern Munich players are injured, it will be a good opportunity for PSG, apart from several players Mbappe and Neymar have led their team to the World Cup final.
I just want to see how PSG have to go on after spending a lot of money on star players, if they fail again it means PSG haven't found their identity in the UCL.

PSG is clearly well decorated club in UEFA with having the biggest quality players pool and luxury of funds through Arab connections but still there is nothing predictable about their future in Champions League because they are doing their best for this title but sadly having nothing positive in last few years, but now situation is completely different for them because their opponent is having issues and their frontline is clearly working better which is positive development for them if they are able to beat Bayern Munich then surely this could be best ever thing for them and improve their chances for the win in this event but still they also have to wait for few other results as well because few more teams are having enough quality for win the race.
When you talk about wealthy clubs there is no way of missing out PSG, PSG is a very wealthy club, they have the financial power and influence in the world of football and in terms of squad quality they have the beat players in the world, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Hakimi etc but the sad thing is with all these top players they find it so difficult to achieve the Champions league trophy. They will try again this season to win it.

Quote from: sempak
Could he also consider going to a club with a slightly lesser status such as Chelsea to still play CL?
I guess, the best thing for cristiano Ronaldo to do now, is to resign to receive a beautiful honor from the world, and to look for a coaching job to raise more potential players that will make the world to celebrate him than looking for a club to join after the disgrace Manchester united coach gave to him by eliminated his contract. I don't think, Chelsea coach will allow someone that is above 28 age in their team, because cristiano Ronaldo is almost 38 age now, which it will be difficult for any team to accept such player in their team.
I think 38 is not a negative for Cristiano.  We watched Zlatan again with his good performance at this age.  Ronaldo can show this performance in the same way.  It just takes a team that believes in it.  He was 37 years old last year and had done well for Manchester United.  Cristiano Ronaldo probably plans to play football until the age of 40.  Later, he can step into his coaching career.
It may not be a negative, but Ibrahimovic wasn't there because of his amazing goal scoring or just his talents, dude was there as a leader of the team, Ronaldo lost that with his latest United period. He didn't looked like a leader, he looked like a guy who wanted stats more than anything else and last year he played amazingly, dude even had a few hattricks.

So, it is easy to say he is not that terrible now neither, but he doesn't look like a good locker room guy and that could be an issue. Plus any great team that is fighting for UCL title would want someone with less media attention around him, and that is why it's not an easy task. I think it would be better for him to go outside of Europe for a while and then retire, or at least go back to his origins, to Lisbon if I am not wrong and just play there.

It doesn't feel like Ronaldo will be able to find a team for himself which is already in the Champions League now. Because there is no such team having serious interest in signing him these days. There is still time for even the start of the transfer window of course but I'm not very hopeful about that. The only team I've heard of in Europe is Newcastle for now. If Ronaldo is ready to be patient he should sign a deal with them. They are already doing great in the EPL and they have a potential for the CL.

Otherwise Ronaldo seems really likely to go outside Europe, especially that Saudi Arabia team Al-Nassr.
everything is just rumors there is no definite certainty which team is really serious about signing Ronaldo in the January window. newcastle united which has quite good finances and its performance in the domestic league is also good so that the media associates it with ronaldo in the transfer market. Ronaldo does have a great desire to be able to play in the champions league in his new team, so that will be the main point he will rely on in the future. On the chelsea side they are looking for a sticker with more experience this season but the arrival of Aubameyang was not a big impact but not a bad performance but he needs time to make a big contribution. whether chelsea signing ronaldo in the january window is worth the wait.

Newcastle have had a great showing in the English Premier League this season... I hope they don't miss out on the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League before the end of the season... It would be interesting to see Ronaldo, as he's been around the EPL for a long time... If he gets to Newcastle, he will still have a chance to show what he can do in the big competitions... But probably because of his age, not many clubs want to sign him... He wasn't as good at the World Cup as he used to be...

Ronaldo playing for Newcastle doesn't look possible to me, Newcastle might no be a 'poor' club, but the take over by the billionaires who bought the club is still relatively recent, and it is yet to have any impact on the team. It would be queer to see Ronaldo playing for a club like Newcastle, it would be a new low in his career and i don't think he will be interested in it. If Ronaldo is to stay in Europe, then it has to be a big club that's playing in the CL, if not it's better he leaves for Saudi Arabia knowing his time in the spotlight/elite football is over.
I don't think so. Newcastle prefers to give an offer for memphis depay rather than ronaldo. I know that both can also play as left wing but depay is far younger compared with ronaldo and eddie how has said that a few months ago if the club was not looking for an old player like ronaldo. In my opinion if you can sign young talented player that has more years to play for the club and why does newcastle need waste its money to sign an old player like ronaldo? Eddie howe itself already confirmed not interested with ronaldo.
What don't you think so? Your post is so unrelated with mine and has nothing to do with what i posted, i made it clear that i don't think it is possible for Ronaldo to play for Newcastle because they are not a club that has enough class to house a great player like Ronaldo. By the way, i haven't heard of any offer from Newcastle for Memphis Depay, i have no idea if they are interested in the Dutch player, but despite the fact that Depay is way much younger, i would still pick Ronaldo at his present age over him, i'd rather have an effective Ronaldo for two years or so, than sign Depay and later loan or sell him out after a couple of seasons because he could not adapt.
