The match between PSG and Bayern Munich will be very competitive I am sure. Both teams have plenty of experienced players. However, Bayern Munich's weak point is that one of their players, Sadio Mane, will probably miss the match due to injury. On the other hand, Manuel Neuer, one of the best goalkeepers of the Bayern Munich club, will not be able to play.
Don't worry about that. There was more than 1 month remaining for Bayern to get a replacement for both. Bayern has been talking with slakovic to be a new goalkeeper for Bayern and it seems like slakovic would be interested in Bayern's offer.
Losing mane and neuer would be a very big disadvantage for Bayern but the club has prepared some potential players that can replace mane's position.  The match will come in February and there are still lots of time remaining before the match will begin next year. We have not yet even entered the last week of this month.

The match between PSG and Bayern Munich would have been more competitive if Mane and Neuer is going to be available no doubt but there is a need to be worried because even though Bayern Munich gets a replacement for Mane and Neuer they will need time to adapt to the playing pattern of Bayern and that would be a problem to Bayern Munich who will not have all the time before the match in February, Bayern Munich players may also use the players in the team to play the game but it will be a big risk for them because playing against a team with players like Messi, Mbappe which are injury free for now needs good players to stand against them and Neuer's position as the goalkeeper is also going to affect the Bayern team.

I think there is about zero chance that Ronaldo will play at Real Madrid again, even if only for half of the season. Although it would be super ironic if he helped defeat Liverpool for example - it would be a shame for Liverpool to suffer from a player who sort of left the Premier League. In general, I think the fact that Ronaldo trains at the Real Madrid base is only a consequence of his good relations with the former clubs where he became a legend. Well, we continue to wait for information about where he will be.

I think we may forget about old Real which plan was just to collect as many starts as they were able to buy. We all know it did not end well.
That's one argument. Another - Real the most probably would spend their money on someone (much) younger who would stay with them for longer. What would CR7 bring them (except maybe extra $ from tshirts and postcards)?

And someone mentioned Zidane - I do not think Ronaldo has the same skills for management and/or training... maybe they may give him bunch of teenagers from team C and see what he will manage to accomplish.

Reports have it that Ronaldo who left Qatar after his country's defeat in the quarter-finals stage was spotted training at Real Madrid. It's a good sign that the Portuguese attacker still has a great bond with his former club, as such may be seen playing in the champion league once again before the end of his career.  I think Ronaldo so much wishes to play in the champion league which is why he is trying to reunite with his former Spanish side. Lol😅 even at 37 the young man is not giving up on football.

Well, we continue to wait for information about where he will be.

Is it possible that it was a form of indirect approach so that Ronaldo was recruited again by Real Madrid, or was it purely just to practice without having high hopes of being able to enter the Real Madrid main squad. Because, if it was Ronaldo's intention to train there expecting to be recruited again by Real Madrid, then I think how unfortunate it is for a legendary player to use this method just to be able to play again in the Champions League.
But I think it's just to maintain Ronaldo's fitness by continuing to practice, considering that at this time Ronaldo is not bound by a contract to any club.

But yeah, let's see what happens, because usually when legends go back to their old clubs at least they have some plans but not to become players.
Because a legendary player like Zidane himself returned to Real Madrid not as a player but only as part or one of the board, until finally becoming head coach. But for Ronaldo who is still ambitious to play, then maybe this will be something different later.

One cannot escape Nature. 2 years backward, CR7 was every coach's desire when it comes to a successful game plan. He has been holding the reins in both club and the national team. And was accorded due respect and regard. But now, age is one of his main hurdles. The speed, the dribbling agility, and the goal-scoring capacity have all depreciated, but it seems CR7 is finding it difficult to accept this fact, perhaps he still feels he could deliver just like he always does in the past and as such, desiring to be featured in every match.  
My opinion is that, unless he accepts the aforementioned facts and makes adjustments, he will hardly escape his present career obstacles.
It will definitely be very difficult for players to accept what happened to them due to the unavoidable age. But we know that Cristiano Ronaldo is a player full of ambition to achieve what he wants, but now it is age that prevents him from achieving it.
We will see a few more seasons he will play football before he finally decides to retire. There is something more interesting to me than Cristiano Ronaldo, will his love for football be he will become a coach in the future or decide to completely quit anything related to football. We should wait.
Christiano Ronaldo has done well in his football career,he has won all that somebody can win,achieved all that is achievable,it's time for him to just retire,I know the problem he's having now is to just have one very good season of his career before he retires.He wants to win the Ballon d'or once again before he puts an end to his career.
I know the recent success of Messi will make him feel intimidated,because he was knocked out of the tournament,while Messi has gotten to the final,and if he wins it,he is going to be crown the world best player of all time,which is a massive success.Messi has won 7 Ballon d'or,making him the highest Ballon'Or winner of all time.  while Ronaldo has won 5.
Ronaldo has tried and he still deserves respect at any club he finds himself,whether he is performing well or not,but I just think it's high time he retired.

For now it has started to seem to me like PSG are getting more favourite in their matchup against Bayern Munich. The recent injury news are making me think like this. Because Neuer is out for the rest of the season and Bayern Munich might not be comfortable in defense if they don't fill his place with a reliable goalkeeper.

In addition to that Mane is also injured and it is possible not to see him in the first leg. Because he might not be ready until mid February at least. Of course the team don't consist of only these players but these are both crucial players for the team. PSG had better do their best to keep the trio healthy until then.

However, Bayern Munich's weak point is that one of their players, Sadio Mane, will probably miss the match due to injury. On the other hand, Manuel Neuer, one of the best goalkeepers of the Bayern Munich club, will not be able to play.
The absence of Mane and Manuel Neuer will not make Bayern Munich weak, they still have players who are experienced enough to replace Mane and Manuel Neuer. The PSG vs Bayern Munich match will definitely be one of the most watched matches, the two teams are both favored to be one of the champion candidates this season.
PSG which is improving every year will not wait any longer to win the UCL trophy. The depth of the PSG squad is ready to become a champion, especially in the PSG squad which has been filled with several players who have won the UCL title with the club before.

I admire Cristiano Ronaldo a lot however I do not think that it would be wise to bring a soon-to-be 38 year old forward to any major club in Europe. Everyone who has watched him play from his younger years would definitely agree that his quality  of play is about 10% of what it used to be. We saw it during their World Cup games that he  can't run, he can hardly dribble past anyone. Either he goes to Saudi-Arabia or consider accepting a substantial pay cut and to be a benchwarmer that plays 20 - 30 minutes in some games just as like we saw in the Switzerland and Portugese match.

I think he can, Ronaldo hasn't played for another champion league side at the start of the season so that won't be a problem. I have seen clubs make use of their January signing to play games in the champions league and that's what signing Ronaldo's will be like. If Ronaldo's knew he can't play then he won't be looking for a champion league team. Reporters of Chelsea striker Broja having possibility to miss the whole season is circulating and this means Chelsea needs a striker to back Aubameyang up.

Having to circulate between Ronaldo and Aubameyang would be awesome as both are experience strikers that can get us goals when we need them. Chelsea needs to be serious in his round of 16 stages, we shouldn't start this the same way we started the season or we'll be knockout very early. Dortmund attack are scoring lots of goals in their game meaning our defense needs to be fully fits to be able to stop Dortmund.
Ronaldo could improve the attack of any team, but I have not yet seen news that he can become a Chelsea player. At the moment he is training at the Real Madrid base, but it looks like, he just training there until he finds a new club. Today I saw the news that Newcastle is interested him, but it's all rumors, so far nothing is clear. Now again the football world will be watching Ronaldo and his search for a new club.

smiles I actually did feel for him but, thank God his finally free, now let's see how our goat performs when he finally gets a new club since the world cup is already coming to an end. Ronaldo actually has a good relationship to be allowed to play on Madrid's pitch not bad at all, the part you said is not giving up on football is actually funny doh I see how Ronaldo is actually putting in more effort I pray he goes back to Madrid, compare to how he was treated at Man U.

Ronaldo is definitely not giving up on football, quite a lot of people expected that by now he would have officially retired from international football, but he is yet to officially release any statement to that effect, meaning that Ronaldo could actually play for Portugal again, maybe in the 2024 Euro tournament, and the good news for him is that coach Santos has been fired and there are rumors that Mourinho is about to take over, thus Mou might be interested in reuniting with Ronaldo for a few years in the international stage.

Having said that, my respect goes to Real Madrid for giving Ronaldo somewhere to train whilst he looks for a new club, i don't think there is any chance in hell that he is going back to Real Madrid, but they have given him the honor he deserves as a club legend, to use their facilities for the meantime so he can keep fit before moving to a new club, once he finds one. He definitely wants to play in the CL again, and i hope he finds a CL team sooner rather than later.

For this season, PSG is the favorite to be able to go further, I even predict them to be strong candidates to win this prestigious title in Europe. This season, Les Parisen has strong capital with quite complete player material, I think it is very difficult to stop their run, except for Manchester City, which has an almost even squad like them.
I don't think Manchester City has a squad as balanced as PSG this season, but that doesn't mean Manchester City will be worse this season in the Champions League. Because Manchester City's determination to get the Champions League title this season is still very big and that I think is also almost the same as PSG who are also targeting the same thing for this season, so more exciting competition will definitely happen again in the Champions League this season. Let's see how they play next in the round of 16 tie in the Champions League in February.

Even Fabrizio Romano made this known on his twitter account, I think there's a reason behind Ronaldo going to train at Real Madrid, it mightn't be because he has interest in returning but maybe to send a message to his potential new clubs of his willingness to still impact the game. He could have trained silently without anybody knowing but he wanted to be in the press and this was the best way to achieve that. The more he's been talked about in the media the more his value increases. And for the fact he's trading at his former clubs news outlets will definitely carry the stories as new speculation will be discussed.
I don't think with Cristiano Ronaldo have left space position with Real Madrid, in the left forward right now Real Madrid has Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema at center forward position were both player have top level performance in this season. Due new updated from Fabrizio Romano I think Cristiano Ronaldo going train only with Real Madrid reserve team.

Cristiano Ronaldo ask to Real Madrid allowed take training center only until he has new team in this season, after reaching mutual contract with Manchester United, Ronaldo still not sign with any team right now.

I have heard this news from various media, because after returning from Qatar he did not know where to go, whereas he has not joined any club after leaving Manchester United last month. The only one he considers home is Real Madrid, so that's why he asked permission from Florentino Perez to train at Valdebas (one of Real Madrid's training bases) so he can stay fit. CR7 is still ambitious for the champions league, maybe he wants to widen his record distance before he retires so he can't be chased by other players.

Ronaldo's interest to play in the champions league has alot of reasons to do with Messi still dominating at PSG. If Messi would retire today, Ronaldo will do the same but for the fact that Messi could easily destroy his champions league record playing at PSG then Ronaldo is concerned and want to give more goal gap to avoid that happening.

Neuer certainly will not playing and it is confirmed he will ended this season early but for Mane i think there is a chance to this player to recover considering first leg will be held on February so in the next 2 months maybe Mane will playing although there is no official statement regarding Mane current conditions but lets assume if these players cannot be played on the first leg against PSG and for Mane position it shouldn't be a big problem for Bayern because they have several players who can be replace his position on the team but looking for Neuer replacement is a bit hard for Bayern because so far Neuer always be playing for almost each matches in all competitions so lets see how Nagelsmann will overcomes this situation

PSG has the strongest team in the world.

And the most tired one after the world cup.

Messi, Parades and all these French guys are going to be dead-tired after the world cup and will need extra training to regain match fitness. Others who got eliminated earlier and missed their club friendlies like Neymar and Achraf Hakimi will also need more match-readiness training. So by no means do they have an edge here.

Bayern Munich however, should have the edge as they don't have a ton of exhausted stars.

There are no players who are tired due to the effects of the World Cup for matches in the Champions League, because the Champions League matches will just start again in the middle of the 2nd month of next year. There are at least two months after the World Cup to get to the Champions League matches, unless you consider the continuation in the local leagues then of course they get very little down time especially regarding the Premier League.
So, in this case I don't think there is a team with players who are tired because of the effects of the World Cup even though it's the Premier League.

Because basically every team has players who don't only come from France and Argentina, because they still have other players who of course can play too.
Also, the clubs now of course have a good recovery method and also they are used to a hectic schedule. So I think there's no problem about their fitness if they have proper recovery method.
