Manchester City 0-1 Real Madrid 15 minutes
The Real Madrid team took the lead in the 12th minute of the match by Rodrygo's goal. The players of both teams are playing well. From the start of the match, both teams were attacking and trying to score goals. Real Madrid's defense is very organized today. So while Manchester City's players can create several good attacking chances, they are capable of scoring goals.
In the first match we saw 6 goals from both teams. Many goals are likely to be scored in today's match. Because both teams' attacks are strong. I expect a good performance from Haaland in today's match. We don't see better performances from Haaland in important matches. Haaland did not play well in the previous match against Madrid.

Arsenal will have a difficult march at Allianz Arena in the second leg of the quartse-final against rival Bayern Munich. In the last two visits, Arsenal lost 1-5 to Bayern Munich. This match is predicted to not be good for Arsenal.
It will be a difficult game for Arsenal because i feel they blew their opportunity of winning at the Emirates but we cannot conclude just yet because anything is possible in football. Arsenal even seem to have dropped their form lately as they have been struggling in recent weeks, they lost to Aston Villa at home so facing Bayern today could even be difficult unless they step up their game. Let’s wait and see the result of the game. After the recent defeat, Arsenal lost the top spot in the Premier League rankings to Man City, and now they are facing the risk of being kicked out of the Champions League by Bayern.
They have always been doing this so towards the end of the season it is quite obvious that they will drop points and lose the top spot just as we saw last season. It is not new to football fans anymore as everyone expects them to lose at the end. 
PSG are likely to play in the UCL final for the second time under Luis Enrique. PSG confirmed the semi-finals by defeating Barcelona by a huge margin in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
While Barcelona's semi-final is assured, Barcelona's opponents are Dortmund. Barcelona and Dortmund are in the same category and it cannot be said that this team is doing very well in their league this season, in that case PSG under the leadership of Luis Enrique can easily cross the semi-final barrier. If PSG make it through the semi-finals, they will face either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final.
Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.
I dont think they PSG will make it to the final this season. Beating Barca is not a criteria it is just a step to the next strong opponent they will face. They will be facing either Dortmund, Real Madrid or Arsenal. Real Madrid will win their match today against Manchester City but it will be hell of fight for both teams. One thing i am very certain about is that by first half of the game the both teams are likely to score and the match will end with multiple goals from 3 - 6. Both teams will score two goals and above. While Barcelona's semi-final is assured, Barcelona's opponents are Dortmund. Barcelona and Dortmund are in the same category and it cannot be said that this team is doing very well in their league this season, in that case PSG under the leadership of Luis Enrique can easily cross the semi-final barrier. If PSG make it through the semi-finals, they will face either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final.
Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.
As far as I know PSG's next opponent is Dortmund. PSG will play against Dortmund in the semi-finals. And is it too difficult a task for PSG to beat Dortmund? I don't think so.
If PSG had faced Madrid, Arsenal or City in the semi-finals, it might not have been easy for PSG to qualify for the final. However, Dortmund's performance is not very consistent. I even consider PSG as favorites against Dortmund. Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. He will surely create a perfect match strategy to defeat the Dortmund team. This season we will see PSG in the Champions League final. I think so.
Some blockbuster action about to unfold and I know I would prefer English teams to progress in both games but unfortunately for the Arsenal game I prefer Bayern Munich to go through as Arsenal fans were so confident that the could get an easy win over the German giants and tonight is that night to make it count...
For the City game, lets just say Real Madrid facing Citeh at the Etihad won't be an easy task as these lads play better when they are at home and I expect the citizens to go through tonight.
My prediction Bayern Munich 2-1 Arsenal
Manchester City 2-1 Real Madrid

This is a very important match in the Champions League competition. And the match is going to be very competitive because the score on aggregate is 3-3. Nobody is going to go into the second leg with having any advantage at all.
I can see, this match is going to be played in the Etihad Stadium but I don’t think that is going to give any advantage to Manchester City at all. Because I do not believe that the support in the stadium is going to be in favor of Manchester City overwhelmingly. Both teams have the capability of winning in this match for sure. And both teams also had the same level of rest for the players before the match as well. At least for the most part. So I think this is a match with absolutely equal chance for each team to win.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal
[/b]Bayern Munich is one of the strong teams in the club side matches and this evening match with Arsenal will be a thug of war though these days Arsenal has not really done well with their games. And we can't just say Arsenal will win Bayern Munich like that because that is another good team in the league. Although football is not like that because a team that was not doing well can have a good squad and beat their opponent. I am still thinking how Chelsea beat Everton 6-0. Because Everton was also good team in the premier league. Let's see how this evening match will end. I will support on BM to win the match.
Let's just see what will happens at the end of the game, because football is full of surprises. What really happened yesterday makes me believe that football is hardly hard to predict sometimes. I don't think anybody will believe that PSG can beat Barcelona in their own game and qualify for the semi-final. So even today's match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal, I can't really say this is the team that will win the match at the end of the day. We always believe in home advantages, but sometimes it doesn't work like that. Currently, looking at Bayern Munich's performance with Arsenal, I think Arsenal is more in form than Bayern Munich, but Bayern have some more experienced Champions League players than Arsenal. so let's just see who wins the game.
Still can't believe PSG made it through to the semis by knocking out Barcelona without stress after the home side ending the first half with 10 men. PSG will be facing Dortmund to finish their story since they had that long clash in the group stage and I must confess that Dortmund are having a better form in the UCL and nobody is talking about them since the beginning of the season in this competition.
I never thought Dortmund would make it this far but this stage isn't a new thing for the German side, let's see how both teams would battle it out in the final chapter of their story, would it still be Dortmund who'll dominate in this encounter or PSG to correct their mistakes, with just 2 games to the finals who would be advancing to the next stage?🤔
Dortmund surely slipped unnoticed to the final stages of this competition and I am shocked really, but not as shocked after the results of last nights clash between PSG and Barcelona. I never thought Dortmund would make it this far but this stage isn't a new thing for the German side, let's see how both teams would battle it out in the final chapter of their story, would it still be Dortmund who'll dominate in this encounter or PSG to correct their mistakes, with just 2 games to the finals who would be advancing to the next stage?🤔
I was very certain that Barcelona would have won and told everyone to expect so at the end, only to be alarmed after PSG scored 3 and then added the last with a red card that saw the Barca team play in reckless formation nearing the final minutes of stoppage time.
The red card changed the outcome of the game and it gave PSG that edge of running through the defense of Barcelona, I noticed that things would turn out the way it did and it seems like the perfect revenge they gave Barcelona.
PSG made it to the semi finals doesn't mean we're going to see them in the finals, to me they're not fit to be there with the way they played it wasn't enough, if eventually they advance to the finals they can't get the UCL trophy.

I think Manchester city can make it through but Real Madrid has had more experience in the UCL than they and play at their peak same as Manchester city. I can see De Bruyne, but will he be able to perform up to his best given that he has been not too in form with a consistent display and playtime. Even if Pep's plan is midfield play, the Madrid players are skillfully, fast and can quickly lock up the midfield, but am sure Pep knows that because he has had to play with them over and over again.
Am sure Harry Kane also got a point to prove for join Bayern Munich and he did score in the first leg, but will he be able to do so in tonights encounter, is still a mystery.
I don't believe PSG will reach the UCL championship maybe they will be stuck until the final and lose that match; this is my own opinion about PSG whatever the result is it could change....
Broadly speaking Dortmund is a balanced opponent for PSG and I dare say PSG is more above it maybe PSG's chances of qualifying are still quite large compared to other clubs.
The scenario that I am sure of in the future - If PSG is in the final and meets between Real Madrid or Manchester City then I have confidence that this team will win, we know how the game statistics of this team are much better than PSG.
But we never know every team will try to reach the level they want, so the ultimate goal is the final and the champion.

Did we expect Barcelona to have red card yesterday? That's a no but Ronald Araujo was given one else Barcelona would have dealt with PSG yesterday but I didn't expect that to happen. This are the kind of things we don't expect from football, don't think PSG lucj is over here yet. Real Madrid once had the same luck that year and scale through the hands of PSG and Manchester City until they reach final to beat Liverpool, don't think PSG can't established the same football in this phase of Champions League.
Dortmund vs PSG is not that easy to predict, it's already known fact that PSG will go to the final because Dortmund is wouldn't stop them. Dortmund has only be lucky, Atletico played well but fall out in the second half in defenses, I'm not sure PSG will fall for such kind of game that easily.
Alright now back to looking at the betting markets again, surprisingly Real Madrid have odds @4.90 and Man City @1.61 this is quite a difference but we still feel confident that Real Madrid still have a chance of qualifying.
I don't know why the bookies give such high odds to Real Madrid, do you dare to take these odds?
Broadly speaking Man City were able to hold Real Madrid to a draw even though Man City took an early lead, but I think the bookies are heading this way.
Arsenal vs Bayern Munich odds are not much different I guess what is seen in the betting market now, but it is interesting to do a parlay between Bayern Munich and Man City.

in this match, I dare to speculate if Manchester City wins this match. especially, if Pep changes his tactics and strategy according to the predictions that are my reference. In this match, it is predicted that Pep will apply a system with a 4-1-4-1 pattern. Referring to the composition of City's players, it seems that Pep is focusing on making the game run in the midfield. I mean, Pep plans his team to dominate control of the game. in particular, so that possession of the ball is between City's midfielders. In the Madrid camp, Don Carlo is predicted to apply a 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 pattern.
City will play the players Pep Guardiola relies on, while Madrid's Tchouameni will not be able to strengthen Madrid against City. I have a pattern and system that is my assessment in researching this match, even though in reality this is just personal analysis and speculation. in this match, I dare to speculate and take the risk of choosing the hadicap option with -1 @1.93, the worst scenario for me is if City will score at least 1 goal. So, my estimate is that City will win this match. especially, if Pep Guardiola implements a 3-2-4-1 or 4-1-4-1 system.
As for the Bayern vs Arsenal match, the Gunners are my favorite team so I clearly support Arsenal to win this match.
Paris Saint-Germain battled back to beat 10-man Barcelona 4-1 and book a place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 6-4 aggregate triumph on yesterday. Or we can say that Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League by the referee last night. Because the game turned on referee Istvan Kovacs' decision to send off Ronald Araujo and Xavi. Xavi blamed on Romanian referee István Kovács, whose performance in yesterday’s quarterfinal second leg he labeled a “disaster.”

Manchester City will host Real Madrid today at Etihad stadium; this is another opportunity for the defending champions to eliminate Madrid again because they have did very well in the first leg by playing a draw at Santiago.

In the Champions League, we saw some really competitive matches. Dortmund led at half-time, but Atletico Madrid managed to make it 2-2 in the second half. Dortmund didn't give up and scored 2 more goals in 3 minutes to win the match 4-2 and go through. I expected the game to go to extra time, but Dortmund managed to get through the round with a good game. I must say it was a result that surprised me. Likewise, Barcelona's red card and PSG's complete control of the game after the red card told us who would win the round.
Both Dortmund and PSG that won yesterday game really surprised everyone because both teams that were eliminated secured victory in their first leg and everyone thought that they can make their win easily, i think the red card that was issued against Barcelona really helped PSG to gain their victory if not they can't defeat Barcelona. Dortmund dominated the games completely in Possession, Pass Accuracy, Accurate Passes, Total Shots, Shots On Target, they really prove that they are the host, Dortmund really shocked me compared to Barcelona, at least Barcelona have something to say about their defeat what about Atletico Madrid that have nothing to show. That's unbelievable to see how PSG was totally owning barcelona after red card awarded by referee to the barcelona. Even xavi was also getting a red card. The performance from barcelona has been dropping a lot after that moment.
It's very painful to see that but barcelona should have accepted any decision by the referee. It's also araujo's mistake too.
I dont think they PSG will make it to the final this season. Beating Barca is not a criteria it is just a step to the next strong opponent they will face. They will be facing either Dortmund, Real Madrid or Arsenal.
Eventhough I didnt really enjoy the game last night because of that red card for Barcelona that really turned the game off, I could argue that PSG was way better compared to the 1st leg. They got a chance for sure and I wouldnt count them out of the UCL race yetAs long as either City or Madrid stays on the race, its pretty much hard for any other team to compete but PSG is quite a team that could really tap that small chance into reality. Aside from playing against 10 players yesterday, they were actually quite good though because Barcelona has been trying pretty hard to keep the ball in check but they managed to still get it and scored
Xavi was red carded due to emotion with the referee's decision...
The match is fierce and then there is a red card, one team will become dominant in the game ... this is not strange because it takes advantage of the opportunities that exist, PSG has been quite successful with its onslaught of attacks, so Barcelona's concentration is increasingly chaotic because it loses in terms of resistance.
So we have 2 matches in the Champions League today, based on predictions from bookies Manchester City seems to be able to win easily, is it easy to beat Real Madrid who has experience? I worry that there will be a surprise here and continued through penalties. I understand that each team will try to score goals and good ideas to place bets on both teams to score or over total goals. I suggest, we should avoid betting on 1x2 market because it's more risky.
The same thing in the Bayern Munich vs Arsenal match both teams are predicted to score each other. Indeed, Bayern Munich should be favored in this fight because of playing at home but it seems that the bookie not on their side, but will we see a surprise in this match? the team that has the potential to surprise is Arsenal because they came as away team.

I was surprised even I was sure Barcelona would qualify in the end. But my prediction was wrong, even Barcelona were slaughtered to the ground. PSG looked very different, they got more comfortable when Ronald Araujo got a red card. In addition, Xavi also received a red card. Of course, this condition is very bad. Even Barcelona's chances of having trophies this season seem unobtainable. This is also Barcelona's poor achievement. Mbaape played very well, Dembele also played carefree. Congratulations PSG you made me lose money. LOL

If PSG make it through the semi-finals, they will face either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final.
Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.

Why won't you add Arsenal to the teams that will go to the semifinals? From seeing the game today, Arsenal can still make it against Bayern Munich in the game because, with proper consideration of Arsenal's performance, they can become the winners of the trophy in the season because they are one of my favorite teams in the league. So what I will say is that we should look at the game and see who will make it to the semifinals. The games we have today will be so much tougher than yesterday's.
Because both teams are already on a draw, the game is like a starting game, which will make it more tough because, seeing as Manchester City and Real Madrid play, all of them want to make it to the semifinals, and that is the same for Arsenal and Bayern Munich, so let's just get ready to watch a war.
