This is life and death match for Tottenham because their position will be determined through an this match and win results is mandatory for them if want to qualify and Sporting is not easy opponent for them because on the first leg Sporting has successfully beat Tottenham at their home ground with scores 2-0 so Tottenham situation doesn't good especially at their domestic league Tottenham has showed poor performance with 2 losing streak although the bookie probably placed Tottenham as the favourite in this match but i am quite doubt they will get the winning results
if tottenham lose in that game they won't have a chance to move on to another phase, unless there is some miracle, which I doubt that will happen, if we look at sporting we can see that they also had problems in the portuguese league until the sporting coach threatened step down as manager if the team continued to have bad results, then tottenham might even have a chance to win or draw in this game against sporting
I will rule out PSG in this case despite their strength I am still quite confident in saying that they will not talk much in the knockout phase later.
I trust teams like Madrid or Bayern more than PSG. As for Manchester City, as long as they don't underestimate the enemy I'm sure they will be better than last season.
I don't think any team underestimates their opponent or opponent when competing in the Champions League. Because all teams must know that those in the Champions League are teams that are very ready and also very good in their own League, so they can be in the Champions League. So there is nothing to be underestimated and I see Manchester City have a good chance of competing until the final in the Champions League this season.
The biggest mistake a club makes is when they underestimate their opponent. The teams that enter the Champions League are representatives of the Domestic League they come from, every team that has qualified for the Champions League has good quality in the domestic League.
The Champions League is full of surprises, the top teams can fall prematurely because of the small mistakes they make, the teams that are taken for granted can sometimes be the killers of the big teams. Every opponent faced must be considered a strong team even though technically it can be defeated easily.
I believe that teams do not underestimate the opponent what happens and that there are champions league games in which a team needs to manage players because in the next game they will play against a strong opponent in the domestic league, so the team is not underestimating the opponent is managing the players to avoid injuries, many teams know that they have no chance of winning the champions league, but they have a chance of winning the local league, so they give priority to the local league
Injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota seriously affected the attacking potential of the team.
Now Liverpool have won only 4 games out of 11, nevertheless, the defeat from Nottingham is still an extraordinary event, the probability of which was negligible, but this probability did happen. Now for Liverpool, the period has come when you just need to endure, work and hope for luck, until there is no other way out for the team.
I agree with what you said about Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, but even so liverpool needs at least 2 players who score goals, even when Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota were playing we couldn't score many goals regularly
