The match between PSG and Barcelona will be one sure going the way of psg because at the moment they’ve the better advantage as compared to this Barca side. Yes you might want to sing praises of Xavi but I’m sure he knows his fate already as Mbappe’s pace is going to be one big trouble for him and his defense line.

 ⁠To mark Mbappe he’ll require more than one player because Mbappe has the speed that can help him and his team go past this Baca side in seconds. Also Ter Stegen will have to be hyper active as Mbappe have a good finishing that can happen in split seconds. Yea, it’s safe to say Barca will be eliminated off this stage of the competition.

 ⁠Barca having a chance in this game will mean they have to be extra clinical and take all their chances, scoring as many goals as this could be their only saving grace. The bot teams have a shaky defense and can hit on each other with a composed attack but I still believe that Mbappe is going to be the decider as his pace and finishes will help psg in this match.

 Mbappe has risen above average among his peers and you can tell that he’ll sure be one of the many to get into the individual limelights soon especially with his dream move to Real Madrid you can tell how much of a success story it’ll be for him. Barca should just get ready to be shown the way out as this is a match for PSg and not Barcelona.

In the previous rounds in 1.Bundesliga, Bayern Munich were scary inflicting much damage to their rivals. If Arsenal played against them at that time, I would support Bayern Munich.
For the moment, Arsenal odds look better in their home and Bayern Munich will be under the test of Borussia Dortmund soon. That match in Bundesliga will have an impact in the Champions League match.
The return of Harry Kane will make things even harder for gunners!

Yes, everyone is looking forward to the next encounter between Arsenal and Bayern Munich, despite the fact that the game will be difficult to forecast. But, in my opinion, the match will not be difficult to anticipate because of Arsenal's performance this season, which has been significantly superior to that of some other clubs. I know Mikel Arteta remembers what happened to them, since the last time Arsenal met Bayern Munich, they eliminated Arsenal.

furthermore It's their time to exact revenge, and Arteta shouldn't let that happen once more this season. I'm expecting him to lead his squad skillfully so that they can win the quarterfinal, and I have doubt that Bayern Munich will have to contend with Arsenal's formidable offense this Champions League this season.

Technically if you look at the both teams and their performance in the league so far, you’ll notice that they both are in good form and this match between them is a match that a winner cannot be easily point out. The intensity of the match and what everyone is expecting makes it impossible to be able to predict the outcome of this match but rather they keep speculating on it. Just like you’re favoring Real Madrid to be the winner of this match, such is Manchester City also favored by other people to win this match. Let’s just expect an interesting match but the winner will be decided on that day base on what the outcome of the match will be.


This two teams have been pegged more for the title race amongst the top three teams that have potential to make it to the final. But after seeing a matchup between them both, everyone is now of the opinion that the winner of this encounter will be the winner of the champions league this season. This could be true because they are the top two most performing teams in their domestic league and also in the champions league. The winner in this this encounter might win the title but I still foresee a tough clash ahead for any of the team that makes it to that stage.

That is one of the best matchups to watch in the Champions League this season since Real Madrid will try to take advantage of Guadiola, Madrid fell to them last season, and Ancelotti is already prepared for them this time. Real Madrid players who are injured, I believe, will return before the first leg of the quarterfinals and will perform admirably to please the fans. Real Madrid are currently the best in the laliga because they have already had the opportunity to win the trophy. Barcelona can do nothing about it anymore, they will finish second in the league and qualify for the champion league next season.  

The second tough match in the Champions League is Bayern Munich and Arsenal because Arsenal will do their best to defeat Munich in the quarter finals because Bayern Munich eliminated them from the Champions League for a long time, and now they have the opportunity to qualify to the competition and still meet Munich again in the quarter finals. Let's see what Arteta can do this season, if he can eliminate Bayern and qualify to face Manchester or Real Madrid.  If Arsenal performs well and defeats Munich while eliminating Madrid and Manchester City, many believe they will win the Champions League. However, defeating tough clubs such as Manchester City, Madrid, and Munich will not be simple.

These two teams were the top favorites to win the Champions League or probably become the finalist in the competition this season, but unlikely, they are paired to play the quarter final against each other which simply means that one of them have to be eliminated and any team that succeeds amongst them will be the top favorite to win the Champions league this season.
Just as others are saying, both of them have all it takes to qualify to the semifinals, therefore, predicting the match will be hard, as such, if I am to bet on these matches, I will bet on both teams to score because I know that all the teams will score goal in the match.

FC Porto are no small side in the European Competitions, infact they should have been the club to progress to this round but props to Arsenal who fought hard to hold down that own goal from the first half to second half of the game. They're not doing so bad though I'm not a supporter of them in the Champions League Competition. They don't have the character and mentality to win Bayern Munich. I will doubt them until they prove otherwise.

Bayern Munich also have seen them players returning from Injury. Even the Injured Harry Kane has found his way back from the recovery process.
I do believe that Bayern Munich would see the next round over arsenal. But this is football, anything can definitely happen arsenal can still make things happen.

Arsenal impressive record could have failed at the hands of Bayern Munich, the intensity of competition in the Champions League is much different from the domestic league. Bayern Munich progressed smoothly in the group stage, and they recorded only one defeat in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Arsenal have recorded two defeats so far, once in the group stage and once in the round of 16. So in the Champions League, Bayern Munich has a better winning record than Arsenal, while in the domestic league Arsenal is much better than Bayern Munich.

I think the difference in performance between the two teams in the domestic league will not be a complete benchmark for what their chances are in the Champions League match. The atmosphere of the Champions League is very different compared to the domestic league, so it is always difficult to predict the result of the match even though the two have a previous meeting record.

Arsenal is not worse than Bayern Munich, but Munich is also not better. I think both will try to beat each other at their respective home courts where each home team is favored to win. Arsenal have been good under Mikel Arteta, but I wouldn't say Tuchel has been bad for Bayern Munich so far.

I think it is quite likely that whoever wins this matchup, could end up winning the UCL as well. I am not saying that's guaranteed, of course whoever gets the win could end up losing during semi finals or finals as well, so there is nothing sure about it, but I feel like the possibility of one of these teams ending up with a title is not impossible, it could very well happen.

This is why I believe that it would be smart to just focus on what we could do, it has to be something that will grow bigger with time. This doesn't mean that we are going to see other teams give up though, they will try their hardest. Remember Inter game last season? City almost lost that game and that would have been a shock to the whole world.

Arsenal had bad record when facing Bayern Munich in last several matches before on Champion League, season 2016/17 its the last time participating by Arsenal and defeating many goals by Bayern on first and second leg matches when Mikel Arteta still as players. Currently its not matter with how many matches Bayern Munich leaded head to head, both teams performance in Champion League and domestic league this season drastically difference, Arsenal had better performance lead the top position in domestic league and Bayern Munich loss their performance and this season seems can't be the Bundesliga winner.
Arsenal this time has chance for eliminating Bayern Munich in quarter final round, not matter with how many matches Bayern Munich lead head to head but Arsenal currently has better performance than Bayern.

In next four games, we are having Real Madrid vs Manchester City one of the most wanted by fans, but things are going unclear about this because recently we have few injuries worries about the Real Madrid which is surely going to have problems for them even still we all know their strength and performance, but these injuries are surely going to have impact on their performance in coming matches and things will be not as we needed for this match.

Real Madrid overall performance in this season is impressive and now this is going to be final for the both sides with mostly are predicting winner of this match is going to be had fair chance for the title race as these both are having best squads and their quality and performance are also at his best.

Predicting their next performances based on the games that they played against Porto is probably not the most reliable way to develop an idea whether they can make it into the final or not. I have seen many games in the past in rounds before the final where some favorite team kind of struggled against an underdog but made it eventually. The question is whether Arsenal in general has what it takes to eliminate a team like Bayern Munich now. In what fashion they do it is mostly secondary. Of course a landslide victory against Bayern would be quite a strong signal to the other participants in the Champions League, but every game starts at zero and sometimes teams like Porto understand very well how to defend a lucky 1-0 lead from the first leg. But now we will see how Arsenal is prepared to take on a challenge against Bayern Munich. That is the hardest test for them so far.

Seeing Arsenal struggling to get rid of Porto in the 16th round made me doubt them and I think Arsenal's mentality is still the same as before, nothing has improved from that team.

And Bayern Munich has high confidence against Arsenal because the last meeting between these two teams was where Bayern Munich could beat Arsenal easily.
There are many factors that make Bayern Munich very favorite to be able to beat Arsenal, one of which is Bayern Munich's great motivation to be able to win a trophy this season after they failed in the Bundeliga and I think that is quite realistic and in terms of strength, Bayern Munich is quite capable.

So far Arsenal are often unlucky when they have to face Bayern Munich in the champions League and maybe they will even continue to prolong that bad luck this season, I don't know in what way to rely on Arsenal to win against Bayern Munich In the game later, because in my opinion when Bayern Munich is in bad Condition like now they can still be a nightmare for Arsenal,  At the moment bayern Munich will focus the Champions League as their main target and no matter how bad they play in the league it has no impact at all when they play in the Champions League.

What you are saying is true and Arsenal should be able to do that later, the first leg will be played at home to Arsenal, and it should be for Arsenal to be able to score as many goals as possible in the game so that they have ease in the second leg , But the question now is, will Arsenal be able to do it, because I think Bayern Munich's defense Is quite good and they are very disciplined in defending so far,  In addition,  we should also not forget that Bayern Munich can attack quite aggressively in the first leg to score goals and of course have the same reason as Arsenal, which is to make it easier for Munich in the second leg later when playing at the Allianz Arena .

Now as we are heading for the last rounds of the Champions League things are heated up and all teams are trying to bring their best players for the matches with recent injuries are surely going to have impact on their performance prediction is never been easy for any game while all teams are at their best and have fair chance for win and going to next round but first leg matches are surely going to be interesting as we have the best teams are going to have better position for the second leg because advantage is going to have good impact on their progress.

Few teams are waiting for the updates about their injured players as international friendlies are having some problems for them, but most chances things will be well under control for the all as they will jump into these games.

In terms of meeting record, Arsenal has a not very good record when facing Bayern Munich, but even so, that doesn't mean they will be able to lose this match because it is very possible that they can improve their meeting record when facing Bayern Munich. Arsenal will first play as hosts in this match, and this is an opportunity for them to create an advantage before they play the second leg at Bayern Munuch's headquarters.

Arsenal must be able to win this match because it will make their task easier or more comfortable in the second leg. If they fail to win the match in the first leg, then their task will be even more difficult in the second leg, because it is certain that Bayern Munich will have a bigger advantage. Bayern Munich also came with a mission like that, so at least they can hold Arsenal to a draw in the first leg so that they can benefit more in the second leg.

Both coaches will apply their best strategies to get their players through to the semifinals.

Many people still think that the Champions league knockout stages is small thing. There is no small team again from this stage, so every match will be interesting. Who wouldn't want to watch Manchester City and Bayern or Real Madrid and Bayern. Some people are still judging games base on the names of the club involve, without paying attention to their recent forms and the quality of players at their disposal. Arsenal are playing very good and attractive football, so if they meet real Madrid in the semi finals, it will be an entertaining encounter and a strong match too.

Yeah I agree, we have all matches well-balanced, and all teams are going to be give their best for having spot into last four and prediction is not easy for any game in these all matches all teams are at their best this time we have PSG vs Barcelona which is also well-balanced due to recent problems which are bringing their quality down and PSG which is having good time in this season, and now they are trying their best for having spot into last four which could be bonus for them after having good win against another Spanish club Real Sociedad as mostly were predicting about their win but PSG done good job.

Atlético Madrid also at his best and now having good chance for the final as well after beating Inter Milan their confidence level is high, and their performance is also good which can bring good results for them in coming matches.

It will still be in Pep Guardiola's plan about some of the injured players as well as Walker who is not so bad so it could be news again for Manchester City's defense, but then again Real Madrid also has better reserves even if their core players have to miss, I don't think it will be shaken when they meet, it will still be crucial in this match.

For the attacking lines of the two teams, it is still quite reliable, there are no obstacles at all, even though Joselu is absent, for example, it is not the main attacking line, Vinicius and Rodygo as central midfielders Bellingham become attacking players as well as the usual spearhead of Real Madrid that is relied on.
