I don't think PSG will advance far in the Champions League this season. What does yesterday's performance mean? They played a very bad match. Imagine that Barcelona, who hasn't played well this season, comes to PSG's pitch and wins 3-2. It's very embarrassing for a team to lose at home, and in the Champions League, you have to play well and win to advance to the second leg. PSG's first leg match gives Barcelona a chance to advance to the next round of the Champions League semifinal. The second leg of the match will take place in Barcelona Field, and I don't think PSG will beat Barcelona there, which is why I think Barcelona will qualify.

Why is this season's Champions League different, I'm starting to wonder? The reason for this is that in the Real Madrid vs. Manchester City match, the best players for Real Madrid, Vinicius and Bellingham, are unable to play as well as they used to be able to. De Bruyne of Manchester City also did not play because of how he felt before the game, and yesterday, mbape, who is making PSG proud, did not even attempt to score a goal. He failed to have even one shot on goal, which is unfortunate because PSG desperately needs Mbappe right now. If he doesn't show up by playing well, that will be it for them in the Champions League this year.

It's really surprising Mbappe play like shit, contribute nothing and only wasting many chances. Come on Mbappe, you're a player with highest market value, but in the most important match, you play like Mudryk.

For Dortmund, they're too defensive, since the second leg will play in their home ground, Dortmund still have a good chance to qualify. While PSG, it's over.

Don't say that, Gianluigi Donnarumma is actually the the second highest value goalkeeper in the world.

The first one is Courtois.

With only a one goal lead, Borussia Dortmund will have the advantage in the second match, but unfortunately, this team often appears disappointing at important moments and is considered capable of making things their own, and this actually happened to Atletico Madrid, Dortmund's opponents are also not superior, so that in the second match both teams still have the same chance of advancing to the semifinals, but I favorite Dortmund who will be able to advance to the semifinals

Successfully beating PSG in France certainly gave Barcelona even more confidence to be able to finish the second match well and both teams played very well, but the Barcelona players were able to take advantage of corner kicks to score goals with headers, I don't think Barcelona will fail at home later. They can be sure that they will advance to the semifinals without having to go through extra time or a penalty shootout.

Today's performance by  psg actually proves me right that psg is a  clueless football club, initially I thought Barcelona football club wouldn't be a match for them, due to the poor form of Barcelona, but I was totally disappointed by the general performance of this psg side.

Just look at the odd they were given, even the bookmarkers thought that they can live up to the hype especially at home, but they were a total disappointment to their fan and most neutral fan, and I really don't think they have what it takes to turn this tie around at the nou camp, though the tie is still open, but expecting psg to win Barcelona 2-0 at the nou camp is an unrealistic dream that will never happen, because psg is just too average to do anything special.

It was as if they were going to loss in the encounter between PSG and Barca and while I was anticipating a draw, PSG just couldn't do anything about the midfield control from Barca. The goal difference isn't that much and although the chances are slim for a comeback from PSG in their next leg, I doubt they would do much to win the Barca side that is still way stronger than as thought in this season.
Atletico was actually my favorite to win last night and they didn't prove me wrong at all.

Barcelona managed to win the match against PSG at home with a narrow score, a surprising victory. I thought that in this first meeting, PSG could win the match, but it turns out that PSG actually lost. I think this is over for PSG. Their chances of advancing to the semifinals are very small. Barcelona will won again when competing at home.

The match is very surprising because I never believe Barcelona will be this good to winning there match against PSG after the kind of quality players PSG has, so actually PSG has indeed shows a serious weakness on this champions league, although the truth is that I no that PSG is not good on champions league but I never imagine them to lose the match because there players are far better than Barcelona but they could not win the match. Perhaps this match should open the eyes of the PSG team management to work on the team so that they will not only be good on their local league but also on champions league because there last match against Barcelona has shown that it will be difficult for them to succeed on champions league.

The home and away goals rule is no longer available, so in the second leg, if PSG wins by 1 goal, both teams will have to go to extra time. Of course, to ensure their place in the semi-finals, PSG must win by 2 goals, but it will be quite difficult for them when have to play at Barca's home field.

Even though they took the lead, PSG proved to be quite inexperienced as they missed too many opportunities when they were on the scoreboard and they had to pay the price when Barca successfully came back, putting them in a difficult position in the second leg. The mentality has been somewhat taken off for Barca as they already have a 1-goal advantage away from home, so they don't need to rush in second leg at home.

In the end what i feared happened was that PSG tried to dominate but it backfired on them as they tried to be more determined in attack especially after Barcelona equalized the score in this match . PSG are good at trying to control the attack but they don't realize that Barcelona and Xavi know that when the tension is strong like that it will be a good momentum for them.

Christensen's 3rd goal 10 minutes before the end made the situation of PSG erratic and no matter how strong the attack they did was not very effective because PSG's determination was a condition that Barcelona expected in this match because with that they could create an attacking scheme and knew how to deal with PSG well.

It's like a rock-paper-scissors type of situation. Inter is far better than Dortmund, and yet Dortmund could be better than Athletico Madrid, whereas Athletico Madrid managed to beat Inter. Plus, there are "days" for teams, Inter if you ask me is far better than Athletico Madrid, but unlucky for them that they played a very bad game at the second leg and lost.

It is definitely looking like a regret for them, because they are doing so great at league, and doing great at their own cup too, so it looks like UCL could have been nice. I am not saying they could have won it, but they could have beaten Dortmund too, so a semi finals at least would be guaranteed. In the end, I wish luck to both ATM and Dortmund and lets see which one will win.

The game was a bit exciting but I'd continue saying it that PSG are not meant to be in the champions league, both teams have so many young players in the the squad that they can't make a complete pass in front of goal and PSG have lots of unfamiliar faces that doesn't have enough experience in the champions league.
If these are the players that do dominate the French Ligue 1 then the other teams in the Ligue 1 are not serious, PSG's best set is that of Ibrahimovic, Cavani and the rest of them, if those guys can't win the champions league back then, then I don't see these set of players doing it either.
I can't really tell if Barcelona was that aggressive in that encounter or not, the Spanish side was playing without pressure when they were losing the game until they equalizer while PSG was having runners who could not get something positive like I PSG style of play became irritating.
I now see why Mbappe wants to leave, the club can't give him what he wants and the players are not there to help him get that UCL trophy. The return leg is going to be the last bus stop for PSG, Barcelona will beat them starting from their midfield just like they did in the first leg to the goalpost.

This is reversed, and indeed in this match in my opinion it is surprising, in my opinion at this time Bacelona is experiencing a slump with the results of the previous matches that were less than satisfactory, especially when they met Real Madrid which almost did not produce satisfactory results, and indeed also in my opinion at this time Barcelona is experiencing a slump, maybe there are some problems that make them like this. Also not usually they are like this, usually Barcelona always look good especially with their beautiful game as their characteristics. Maybe this time they will rise from their slump because with yesterday's match against PSG they can win, because in my opinion PSG is a strong team this season, also they are not defeated, I mean the results of the match are quite satisfying with the worst results that only draw not lose. Of course this is a surprise, but the next match with them will meet again maybe PSG will turn things around. But don't know how the future will be because as it has happened, maybe there will be more surprises later.

PSG vs Barcelona was a really good match between the two teams as the attacks from both sides were adequate from start to finish. The best performance in the match was Barcelona's team, moreover, Barcelona's attack was mostly successful as they put the ball in the opposition's net three times. However, in Barcelona's game with PSG, they closed most of the time and PSG could not successfully equalize the game. PSG had more total shots than Barcelona but Barca's goalkeeper did well and every player did well to stay in the Champions League. And with this one goal lead in the first leg, Barcelona have a bit of a win and will definitely be more aggressive in the next leg. And since the next match PSG will play in the field of Barcelona, they may be in more disappointment and Barcelona will definitely win in the field of Barcelona and they can enter the semi-finals.

PSG lost 3-2 to Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final first leg match between Barcelona vs PSG. Raphinha's two early goals for Barcelona essentially put Barcelona well ahead of PSG. Mbappe failed to score for PSG, basically PSG fell far behind in that place. Expectations were high for PSG this season in the Champions League but they fell short in the first leg against Barcelona. PSG's first leg loss to Barcelona means that the next match is easy for Barcelona but relatively difficult for PSG. Even if Barcelona can't score in the next match, PSG must win by at least 2-0. Since Barcelona won the first leg, Barcelona must play for the win in the second leg. The first leg matches are very important for every team since the Champions League quarter finals and Barcelona easily cleared the first leg hurdle.

PSG again shows us that how weak they are in Champions League. Playing at their home stadium against an opponent Barcelona that is not in their best form, but PSG fails to get a point at home.

Losing 2 - 3 at their home stadium is very bad because we know Camp Nou is not an easy stadium for any guest to visit and avoid a defeat. Barcelona are far to years when they dominated La Liga and Champions League with Xavi as their player, but Barcelona are not mentally weak like PSG.

Mbappe again failed to rescue PSG in Champions League and he has a disappointed match, failed with his team and individually he did not have good performance too. Playing attacking at Camp Nou will put PSG at higher risk to get another defeat from Barcelona.

In this first leg match, I am impressed with Xavi's decision for substitutions, Pedri and Christensen helped Barcelona to win this match and they both were sent in to replaced other players.

The match between Arsenal and Bayern had too many problems with the referee. He ignored the situation where Gabriel held the ball with his hand in the penalty area and thought it was a "childish mistake" so he did not decide to give a penalty for Bayern in the match like a quarter-finals match, which was silly.

Next, the situation where Saka was fouled at the end of the second half deserved a penalty and the situation where Kane elbowed him clearly but there was no red card while he was standing very close to that situation. I think UEFA will have appropriate punishments for this referee.

The two quarter-final matches were truly eye-catching with spectacular score chases. Personally, I think Arsenal deserved a win. About Mancity, they have the right to self-determination when playing at home in the second leg.

Barcelona traveled to Parc des Princes stadium and conquered with trembling three points and they're looking forward for the second leg. PSG coach, Luis Enrique and their most significant player, Kylian Mbappe failed to make the impression for their supporters because they're the top instrument for the progress of the club and watching both of them relenting, it means they're completely out and watching them for a comeback will only take a miracle to happen. Paris Saint-Germain lost there chances of dominating the game and thrashing Barcelona on their home ground and what are the odds of thrashing Barcelona at Camp Nou?

Dortmund is only losing one aggregate which is quite easy to comeback, and it is possible for them to seek revenge against Atletico Madrid when the game takes place at Signal Iduna Park and atletico madrid must be careful considering the fact that dortmund was always able to play better when it was playing at home. In their most recent game, Atletico Madrid defeated Dortmund by a narrow margin which can still be surpassed as long as dortmund will not be an opportunity. That is an impressive result, but Dortmund has historically performed well at home and i think that the chance is still there as long as dortmund will have learned from the mistakes that happened in the first leg. Things are getting even harder for dortmund
Dortmund has a small chance of qualifying for the next leg. Things will get even worse for Dortmund if it performs poorly in the upcoming home game considering it was the last chance for dortmund to keep exist in the UCL. Dortmund did not play particularly poorly tonight, but there was still a lack of concentration against Atletico Madrid away caused by dortmund's defenders have made mistake several times whch was costing the club a goal in the first leg. .
Without a doubt, if it was a narrow loss, dortmund could easily recover by the team, especially since atm must play away soon and this gonna be the last match to gambling by dortmund soon. Club needs to take a big risk by playing differently compared to the first leg. 



It's difficult to believe, but the PSG defenders must be facing a lot of criticism here. They made no contribution. They defended against Barcelona attacks as if they had no intention of doing so. They were not even willing to duel Raphinha, which is ridiculous. The primary weakness of PSG was its defensive line.

It surprises me that at the end of the match, PSG didn't seal their match against Barcelona to a 2-1 victory in the first half to the end of the second half.
The 2-3 scorelines that the match ended up being in favor of the Barcelona team, how will PSG come up strong when they face the Barcelona team at their home? Since they missed their opportunity to hold on strong to the 2-1 victory they had in the first half to the end of the second half. Had it been it was a winning match for them, it would have given them the courage to battle it out with Barcelona at their home squarely.

So many turns yo yesterday’s game between PSG and Barcelona. Coming from behind to take the lead just when you was getting comfortable. Barcelona came out strong and started the scoring but soon after, PSG found a way to equalize and even took the lead, thanks to the ingenuity of Ousmane Dembélé, the formal Barcelona player just minutes in the second half and not far from that time, PSG had a second goal. I really thought it was up for Barcelona but no, they got right back into the game, scored an equalizer and even had their win by 3 goals to 2. That was surprising! While yesterday’s games produced 2 draws, today’s games produced 2 wins to the Spanish side.
