I also had the same thought because this is an away match for Barcelona and they certainly won't be able to play with Balde, Gavi and Pedri who are currently injured. Meanwhile, Frenkie De Jong's condition is still in doubt, even if De Jong can play against PSG, I don't think he will be able to play the full game, and perhaps he will not be able to play at his best.

PSG, they just can't play Achraf Hakimi due to disciplinary points, after he received his third yellow card against Real Sociedad in the round of 16. Luis Enrique will most likely be a crucial figure in this match because he has played for Barcelona for a long time and he once coached Barcelona, or it could be assumed that Luis Enrique is very familiar with Barcelona's style of play.

an exceptional match, full of twists and goals
fought until the last minutes!!
Real Madrid conceded 3 goals and this weighs heavily, in any case it was a super good and super fun match
in my opinion this was the real final!

Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund

Dortmund can advances to the quarterfinal after eliminate PSV with final aggregate 3-1 so this is impressive because previously Dortmund is underrated team and they are not as strong candidate for this competition even since group stages Dortmund was doubful can able to advances to the round of 16 but in fact they can finish at first place of group table and for Atletico Madrid this team also not so different similar to Dortmund because people haven't counting them as the candidate for the trophy but although Atletico Madrid have to hard struggling but they can successfully to eliminate Inter Milan at round of 16 through an penalty kick

For squad update Dortmund still lost Donyell Malen because injured but they still have Jadon Sancho and Niclas Fullkrug and about Jadon Sancho he was scored when Dortmund beat PSV and Sancho also performing well when Dortmund lost from Stuttgart last week so i am sure he will be played since the beginning of match and for Atletico Madrid squad Memphis Depay and Mario Hermoso will be doubtful to play and about the outcomes of this match i can see Atletico Madrid as the favourite with odds @1.81 and i think they have good chance to overcomes Dortmund today because Atletico Madrid always be performing well at their home ground or over 2.5 goals also good pick for this match

This is the champions league where the unexpected happens and concluding on the outcome of the second leg between Bayern Munich and Arsenal is wrong cause man you got to learn to believe that the gunners aren't in for any jokes this season they are ready to finish the fight in Germany and getting an away victory over Bayern Munich is certain cause the gunners are hot despite not winning in England.


Manchester City against Real Madrid should be a game to right off Real Madrid because City has found the perfect way to eliminate Real Madrid and putting so much pressure on them any time they face each other is the best way to win the Ancelitto me and coming to England to win City can't be possible cause believe it or not City is ready to beat anyone right now and their focus is on winning the champions league and getting an away 3 goals shows how determined they are and the second leg will see them complete the good job they have started already, rooting for City and Arsenal to win in the second leg.

Too focused on guarding Haaland made the Real Madrid defense open up space and as we can see, all 3 goals from Manchester City were scored from outside the penalty box. It was a very effective strategy from Pep Guardiola and it seemed like he had expected that all the defensive players would focus on Haaland. The Manchester City players made good use of this kick and it seems they have practiced it many times in the training session before this match.

On the other hand, Real Madrid was still quite lucky because they managed to hold off Manchester City's draw and no less cool was the goal scored by Valverde with his first time kick using an assist from Vinicius. Well, this was an extraordinary first leg match and I don't think a match like this will be repeated in the final round.

Yeah anything can happen in every match but for some reason I'm not sure Barcelona will win Instead I think that PSG will take advantage of this moment and in my opinion there are only 2 possibilities for PSG win or draw. Barcelona only had a chance to win in the second leg as well as a determinant whether they will qualify for the next stage or eliminated earlier, I don't underestimate Barcelona, but in my opinion their strength this season is no better than PSG except luck on Barcelona side maybe the situation is different. By the way, both teams to score attracted my attention, this bet is more ideal like yesterday's match.

I don't think Barcelona will win this match. PSG has 2 advantages before entering the game with Barcelona. First, of course, is the yard issue. But what is more critical is coach Luis Enrique's understanding of the Catalan team as both a player and a coach. This is when PSG is very well prepared. PSG's force is guaranteed to be at its maximum when stars like Dembele, Vitinha, Ruiz, Marquinhos, and especially Mbappe have time to rest over the weekend. Mbappe is expected to make a difference for PSG. PSG is rated higher than Barcelona in this match. Mbappe will also help PSG confidently defeat Barcelona.
Barcelona plays quite poorly away from home. Barcelona is struggling with its force situation when midfielders De Jong and Pedri are likely absent. This makes Barcelona's midfield weaker against PSG.

There are some points that you should be aware of. These points are

1. Madrid has always had poor results at Etihad Stadium. 
2. It's Real Madrid's away game.
3. It is possible for City to become even stronger by inserting injured players into the squad, such as Walker, who has become someone who can always pocketed Vinicius. City was missing a lot of players in the previous game, such as de Bruyne. 

People are talking about it because they know how bad Real Madrid's history when it has played against City at etihad stadium and this is also a common knowledge. Even though Madrid has been dubbed as a king of comeback by public but that doesn't mean it can easily comeback against city that is more balanced than Madrid at this time.
City has numerous advantages over Madrid in the second leg. Please look at it from various perspectives. It is not always linked to the aggregate between the city and Madrid.

Leg 1 for the two teams that will play in today's match, I am counting on the two home teams to get the desired result.
Atletico Madrid and PSG can win the match they will play with a narrow score.

Dortmund and Barcelona, who will be the opponents of Atletico Madrid and PSG, will not be able to avoid defeat even though in the second leg they can cause a surprise at their respective proud stadiums.

My prediction;
For the Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund match, 2-1.
The PSG vs Barcelona match was also 2-1.

The score I predict can change.

Manchester City may really have home advantage to win the returning legs, but the truth is that Real Madrid can also appear very strong in the returning leg. Real Madrid is an experienced team, so playing away from Manchester City, I don't think that should be a big problem. Let's just see what happens on that day. It is possible the match will end in a draw, which will later lead to a penalty. The lucky team may win and advance to the semi-finals. and I am not fully saying that Real Madrid will win Manchester City or anything easy, but what I am trying to say is that sometimes football is unpredictable, and so far, Real Madrid is an experienced team with an experienced coach, so it is possible for them to improve their performances more than they did last time. 

I dont know why people start talking about advantage for Manchester City with the result of yesterday game, i dont think so, because is clearly no an advantage is a game where everything can happen as we already see,3-3 and in Manchester can be again the same. The rule of away goals not longer exist so is not an advantage at this high level a draw.

Yeahh the advantage for Manchester City with last night's result, but we should not underestimate Real Madrid even though it's an away game anyone can qualify but with the scenario that I see clearly Manchester City has a high chance of qualifying compared to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid won't take it for granted... of course they had a difficult task at the Etihad against Pep Guardiola's squad which is obviously difficult to beat, but I believe their great mentality still has the motivation to qualify for Real Madrid.

Considering the performance of these two teams, Barcelona can be considered as the favorite. However, PSG's performance in both matches against Barcelona in 2021 was very good. The PSG team won the away match by a big margin. Mbappe scored a hat-trick in the match. PSG also drew the home match.

If we consider the recent performance of these two teams then PSG team can be put ahead. Because Barcelona's overall performance has been slow and erratic in recent times. On the other hand, with the help of Luis Enrique, PSG's performance is now much more organized and strong.

In this match we will mainly see Luis Enrique vs Xavi fight. I look forward to seeing how Xavi fares against Luis Enrique's experienced match tactics.

I think Barcelona can win
I'm fully aware that PSG are a strong team, will be playing at home and also have their merits, but the odds of 3.75 make me believe that the risk pays off for this bet

Barcelona are in a good moment, even if they're not leading the Spanish league, the team's tradition in European championships is always an important factor in any game
But don't follow my recommendation hahaha, it's a game with possibilities for both teams, including a draw, I'm taking a bit of a gamble myself 

Just like the matches played yesterday, today's match is definitely going be another interesting game with actions and enough to expect as it's really going to be some how tough because both teams playing are well experienced in the champions league and aswell have a fairly good form as at this moment even tho it's looking like one has a better performance this season than the other.

Barcelona has since this season been somehow inconsistent in their domestic league but then one thing they have continue doing is making sure they don't go too down the table such that getting back to the top becomes too difficult, in the champions league so far, Barcelona had literally tried their best and has been doing well much more then they have been doing in their domestic league but then one thing they have maintained has been their ability not to appears too weak and so I'm confident in the fact that they are most definitely not going give PSG an easy game.

A good number of goals may not be realized from this game because both teams have not been known for been able to score too many goals especially in their champions league games this season so I'm not expecting really much from them this season from their meeting today but i think whosever gets lucky to score the first goal may like get an edge over the other because they both have a fairly good defense.

seen from Barcelona's performance which is currently experiencing a downturn with their game being messy like when they played against Real Madrid who always lost, even though they matched the score, they still lost and kept losing, apart from that I see PSG is currently improving too with In their previous match history they have never lost, with the minimum result their matches ending in a draw, in my opinion they are currently improving a lot. turned around with Barcelona.
With the match between PSG and Barcelona, I think Barcelona will have difficulty against PSG, judging from their respective performances, but no one knows, maybe Barcelona will give a surprise, but I doubt that. I think PSG will be more able to win when the match takes place. because with Barcelona's match history itself, I see that they are not very good this season. With this downturn, I think this is a good opportunity for Real Madrid, as we know, Real Madrid is Barcelona's eternal enemy.

The first leg of last two Champion League quarter final match was excited have 10 goals scoring with Real Madrid vs Manchester City draw result 3-3 and another match Arsenal vs Bayern Munich get the same result with score 2-2. Both matches last night more offensive and easily for scoring many goals exactly with Real Madrid vs Manchester City match without 12 minutes game start have scored 3 goals.

Tonight have two matches, PSG vs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund will potential scoring more than 10 goals base on the last night matches or both matches will full defensive and difficult to see with scoring many goals. Usually first leg match not really excited as second leg match, but Madrid and Manchester City always playing full offensive and interested for watching both teams lack for defensive and try to score as many possible goals.

Agree, in general Bayern Munich and Manchester City benefit because their task in the second leg playing at home is to have the opportunity to provide more surprises. Apart from this draw, I was quite satisfied watching both of them, because the goals scored by each team were extraordinary, especially in Madrid match against Manchester City. Reciprocate goals, provide attacks, pressure and a rhythm of play that is not boring.

In my opinion Madrid who will be guests at Ettihad, will face a tough challenge. Considering that Manchester City played at the Bernabeu without Kevin De Bruyne, Pep troops were able to score 3 goals, so at Ettihad it is certain that Kevin De Bruyne will get more playing minutes. Apart from being a player, he is also quite good at analyzing the opponent's game. Now I understand why Pep didn't play KDB in the 1st leg because he was focused on analyzing Real Madrid's game.

I can say there'll be no hope for the gunners come the next leg and fixture. Man, I can't open my mouth to say the same bullshit about Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are by far the strongest club in the world and they don't have time to do that home and away stuff's with a club, they could still move on to Etihad and deal with Manchester City, we shall definitely see how it progresses.

For Bayern Munich against Arsenal? Lol!
They should be bashing and blasting Saka for being a big fool, why not score that goal? Rather he chose to be a goofy head and recalcitrant donkey. I don't blame him, this has to be the first time he place in the quarter finals if I'm not mistaken in the Champions League Competition.
Bayern Munich will show no mercy when they arrive next week and for that penalty appeal the official should have given? Gunner's also got lucky over that pardon!

As many members predicted here, Arsenal's good performance in the league did not allow them to win the Champions League and it was proven when they actually had to fight hard enough to be able to make the match a draw, Arsenal were able to dominate in the match but unfortunately their front line was unable to dismantle the tight defense of Bayern Munich,  A 2-2 draw at the Emirates will actually make Arsenal's journey to qualify for the next round even more difficult because they will have to fight quite hard in the second leg.

In the first leg match it seemed that Arsenal were indeed able to appear dominant and even they managed to score a quick goal through Saka in the 12th minute, but the mentality possessed by Bayern Munich in the match was able to make Tuchel's squad respond quickly and even able to comeback before Trossard was able to equalize the score and make the final score of the game 2-2.
I am personally very pessimistic if later Arsenal will be able to win the second leg, because so far the Allianz Arena has been a stadium that is haunted enough for Arsenal to get a victory.
