Of course, Real Madrid needed to beat the city at home, but in the end they were lucky that they could reach a draw, and City could win in this match, but Real was able to score the third goal. As for the return game, it is clear that it will be even more difficult for Real Madrid, but this is not the team that give up so fast. I am inclined to the fact that City and Bavaria will be able to go to the semifinals, these teams were more likely to me, despite the fact that they had to play away. For the return match of Bavaria, I also think that Arsenal in Munich will be difficult, they could not win at home, it was their opportunity.

This was a really surprising match, I didn't think Barcelona could give a surprise like this. It cannot be denied that Barcelona was a big and strong team during its heyday. Even though they played against PSG, in every match they almost never lost, even with the worst result being a draw, and even though there was a defeat that occurred when PSG played against Newcastle, it proves that PSG is a strong team, but even so, Barcelona can still balance it. well and even reversed the situation.

Even though there is a return match later in the second leg, I think PSG will not just sit still, they will not give Barcelona another chance, but no one knows what will happen later, maybe Barcelona will surprise again in the match later. Even though in La Liga Barcelona suffered consecutive defeats against Real Madrid, maybe outside La Liga they can prove it.

This is important winning for Barcelona because they did that at PSG home ground and during the match i can see PSG defensive lines is very poor and it makes Barcelona can scores 3 goals and win this match besides that Xavi know how to lock Mbappe because in this match Mbappe didn't gets much opportunities to scores but before this match i can see Luis Enrique a bit underestimate Barcelona because as the former of Barcelona manager Enrique confidently know well this team but Barcelona is different because they strong now under Xavi and Barcelona in the comfortable position because for second leg Barcelona only required to playing draw and obviously they can able to do that especially Barcelona will playing at Camp Nou

After this match the team who will advances to the semifinal stages possibly is Barcelona and a bit surprised to see this result because previously Barcelona is underrated team in Champion league and for other match Atletico Madrid who playing as a host can successfully to overcomes Dortmund with narrow scores and this result actually is predictable considering Atletico Madrid always be performing well at their home ground and for second leg although playing at Dortmund home but potentially Atletico Madrid can eliminate Dortmund and advances to the semifinal

Barcelona really surprised me yesterday with such a spectacular performance. It seems Xavi Hernandez figured out how to silence Klyrian Mbappé because his influence was hardly felt throughout the game. This was exactly what Barca did to Napoli when they ensured that Victor Osimhen was caged. The Nigerian striker just managed to get a goal in the first leg but was marked out in the second leg in Spain. I agree that this was a bad day for the French striker and it might not be the same game in the return leg. Much credit should be given to Ousmane Dembélé for standing up for PSG when Mbappé couldn't.

But that draw from Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabue Stadium is a good one of them, at least they didn't allow Real Madrid to take the win and the lead.
Real Madrid will have to thread carefully when they arrive at Manchester during the next round. I know they're hot in the Champions League Competition but they have to be careful.
Both Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Valverde all needs to be properly rested for that game.

Also players like Modric and Toni Kroos needs to start, Carlo Ancellotti approach in the first half and also the entire game was rather too defensive for me.

For Arsenal, I would definitely agree because they are traveling to Bayern Munich's home, they would prolly be knocked out of the Champions League Competition.

PSG as always been disappointing and it's shown in their uefa past even if they are playing pretty well in their domestic league, they usually fail to bring that form back to uefa league.

The match was actually disappointing to me since I don't want barcelona to move to the next round though knew trusting psg to do the job will be on a high possibility of them failing but I don't think it's over yet Psg still got a chance to turn things around if they are ready to play well on Camp nou though it will be tough but they got the squad to do it.

Honestly, with Barcelona's current form, I don't really expect them to win a psg in their home game, but seriously, psg give away their home advantage of opportunities to win the game. The draw should have been even better; if PSG had gotten the draw yesterday, they may have had little hope in the returning leg, but now that Barcelona have one goal ahead of them and PSG is visiting Barcelona in the returning leg, I don't think that there is any hope again for PSG. It is always embarrassing after spending a lot of money on players, but at the end of the season, PSG always found it hard to win the Champions League. With the PSG squad, I did not expect much, but I expected them to be able to beat Barcelona yesterday. 

I can see that premier league teams are finding it difficult to secure a good position in this quarter-final, Manchester city drew with Real Madrid 3:3  the giant of premier league teams and Arsenal drew with Bayern Munich  2:2.

 With what we saw in this first leg , Manchester city and Arsenal will be out in the second leg because the first leg show what will happen in their next game and Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will make sure they add more effort to secure victory.

Those teams that played yesterday made a good points that will make them to add more effort to claim their victory in the second leg in the UEFA champions league, Barcelona beat PSG to secured victory and Athletics Madrid secured 2 goals to beat Borussia Dortmund to achieved victory which is a great job for their coach to displayed it in this quarter-final.

Madrid's failure in the first leg match was of course detrimental to Madrid because they could only play a draw, I remember last season where the result of the first leg match between Madrid and Manchester City was also a draw 1 - 1 and this season it is 3 - 3, I would not be surprised if the second leg match There will also be concerns that Manchester City will beat Madrid again like last season at the Etihad Stadium, hopefully that doesn't happen again and in yesterday's match I thought Madrid could win against Manchseter City but they failed.

Manchester City still seems to be a team that is difficult to beat in the UCL so Madrid couldn't beat them in the first leg match yesterday so for the second leg match Madrid will have to work hard again to be able to beat Manchester City because if they fail they will definitely fail to advance to the next round. For the umpteenth time, I see that Ancelotti has not learned from their previous failures where they once got bad results against Manchester City, but we saw them again draw and ultimately lose in the second leg. So I'm curious about how these two strongest teams can qualify for the next round.

I would say that it was a good result for Real Madrid rher than losing the match. You should not forget that Real Madrid does not have home and away, as they play very well anywhere they are. Recently, we saw how hard it was for Manchester city to win Arsenal in Etihad. This is why I don't see any of these two clubs having any advantage over the other. Perhaps, this was the same thing that happened last season, when Man City was able to draw the match 2-2 in Spain, and won 3-1 in England. Or are you saying that such will repeat itself again.

I don't think so. Many thought Barcelona could win the game, though. It's not all about the bad opinions if Barcelona loses in this match. As you can see, Barcelona is trying so hard to make the situation even better than before. Things are going even better than I thought for Barcelona because the club was able to beat PSG with very good scores in the last match.
Barcelona was doing everything very well in that game by making a dramatic comeback that was helping the club a lot. Raphiha become man of the match in this game because he scored two goals, and he was also helping his club to secure one goal aggregate for the second leg at Campnou.
It's a perfect result since PSG was playing equally in this game and i expect barcelona to win the second leg easily against PSG. It sounds too good to be true for PSG to make its comeback against barcelona at the second leg.
I strongly believe that if PSG is likely out from the UCL soon this will also make mbappe try to tell the public about his final decision regarding his rumor being linked to the real madrid. Please, barcelona. You can send PSG out from UCL.
It will make the future of mbappe clear as he announces his decision on whether to stay or depart from the club.

In the first match, Barcelona went ahead of PSG, in the second match, PSG must equalize this goal difference. If PSG can equalize this goal difference in the next match, the referee will decide to take the tiebreaker to decide the result of the second leg and the team that wins the tiebreaker will confirm the next round. Just over a round of games with one more leg to play and the result in the second leg could be anything but. As the result of the first leg went in favor of Barcelona, the result of the second league can go against Barcelona and it can also go in favor of Barcelona, so basically anything can happen in the second leg match.  
Regardless of the result, for now Barcelona fans must be satisfied with the result of their first leg.

Yes, even though many doubted Barcelona's performance when facing PSG in this match, the fact is that Barcelona was able to dispel these doubts, PSG is still far behind compared to Barcelona even though Barca's performance in Laliga is sometimes inconsistent, unlike Madrid, but when compared to League 1 teams which are not very competitive, Barcelona still superior in every way.
Atlètico is clearly the favorite in this match because they are playing at home, even though they only won narrowly, at least they can still hold Dortmund to a draw in the next match so they have the chance to qualify for the semifinals.

I managed to win the bet  , Barcelona won the game that many thought was impossible and improbable
Look, I analyzed the risk/reward a lot, and the odds of 3.75 were worth the risk

I wasn't that surprised, PSG are a very good team, but I've been saying that the level of the French league makes more difficult when they face some Spanish and English teams
In addition, the tradition factor seems to make a difference, Barcelona has a lot of tradition in continental championships and seems to be more comfortable playing difficult and decisive matches
However, just as I said that Barcelona could win, there's nothing to stop PSG winning the next game

It was not easy for Real Madrid to beat Manchester city even though they were playing at home in their bernabeu. The return match will see who deserves more to pass the round and enter the semifinals. I am rooting for Real Madrid. Barcelona got a great result against PSG by winning in Paris, and now at Camp Nou it could be much easier. Athletic Madrid is honestly the one that could risk the most, Dortmund is very tough at home.

Folks, I understand, because Barcelona generally wins this match. Dont get ahead of ourselves. Underdogs can do amazing things in football. Remember 2017? PSG turned that game around, which makes this sport exciting. Yesterday, Mbappé wasnt his typical self, but one bad game doesnt create a bad player. Top performers have those days.

This Champions League season is crazy. Top players like De Bruyne and Vinicius are failing, proving nobody wins. I trust PSG because of that. They had moments of greatness, but it wasnt their best. If they can build on that and focus, they could upset us in Barcelona in the second leg. Football is unexpected, therefore you can only forecast that!

no, it's not that bad guys.
I know Mbappe has lost his skills, but believe me, in the UCL match, experience is also very influential in shaping the players' mentality, so even though they are competing at home, it doesn't guarantee that Mbappe and PSG performance will look stronger.
It can be seen from the playing style of the two teams that Barcelona looked more enthusiastic and confident, whereas this match should have put pressure on Barcelona, but in fact Xavi team was able to end the match with a narrow victory.
from that match, I could predict in advance that whatever happened and no matter how strong the PSG squad was, they would not be able to beat Barcelona, who had more experience in the UCL.

so yesterday I bet on BTTS with odds that weren't too high but the winnings were very big because any team that passes the quarter finals will definitely try to achieve a bigger aggregate score and of course all teams will definitely continue to score.
even ATM vs Dortmund also ended in accordance with the predictions I have said here, even though they were able to win in the first leg, Dortmund could make a comeback with a higher aggregate score in the second leg.

There is still a second leg and Agg's 1 goal advantage does not guarantee a big possibility for Barcelona to get to the semifinals even though they will play alone in the second leg later.

Barcelona is in good form in the last few matches while PSG is not making good progress, especially in their domestic league, they are not performing optimally without pressure at the top of the standings, so they do not have more motivation to win matches, which means their performance is not improving.
And that continued until the CL match, the defeat at home was quite painful and the bad influence was on the team's confidence and mentality as they looked towards the second leg later.

Some things that have become the key factors why PSG was losing in this match.

- Mbappe played like shit
- Defenders played like shit
- The goal keeper as well

PSG had many weak spots, which helped Barcelona explore the possibility of scoring in that match. I'm concerned about how PSG was performing differently, and PSG seemed not strong enough to beat Barcelona. PSG must be lucky enough to be in second place in order to make its comeback against Barcelona at the end of the season.
Mbappe lost its skills in carrying the club when it was against a strong team. Barcelona is one step ahead to go to the semi-final. Barcelona has very big chance to go to the semi final.

PSG was not playing that bad but it was imssing a lot of opportunities. Barcelona was able to explore more chances at the late game, and a goal from Christensen has been helping Barcelona to secure a safe place in the second leg.
PSG will have a tougher match soon, and I'm expecting Enrique to do some rotations. Enruqye shall change the strategy, like urgently putting Mbappe as a striker if he thinks that his club is not capable enough to get a good result.

There should be an urgent plan for this.
