What we will watch will be two strong teams, two magnificent fights. Real, who is doing well in La Liga, will host Manchester City, which is not bad in the Premier League, and we will watch two final-like matches. I see Real Madrid's chances higher in the match in Spain. Real Madrid is my favorite to pass the round, but even penalties can determine the winner of this round. It was a good match. I think the winning team will emerge from a difficult battle.

Real Madrid and Manchester City had many chances to play against each other recent seasons and this season, they meet each other again. They are one of strongest teams in Europe this season and belong to best candidates to win Champions League.

So their meeting in quarter final round is too early but the draw can not be changed, they will have to fight and beat each other to go to semi finals. Both Real Madrid and Manchester City don't shown dominating forms in this season so no team will have to worry and feel fearful about their opponent. They have fair chance to win and I will wait for a match of Manchester City against Arsenal in Premier League to assess their readiness for these matches with Real Madrid.

In a big match against Liverpool, Manchester City didn't play too well and if they continue such performance against Arsenal, it will be not good preparation for big matches with Real Madrid in Champions League quarter finals.

well if they face each other it will definitely be a match worth seeing regardless of who you support
in my opinion their clash is the true final regardless of where it happens, whether before or after
a bit like last season, the real final was not the one against Inter but the previous one, certainly the most important

I support Real Madrid this year

Actually, both teams have good strength. Mbappe is an important trump card and I am sure they will use this trump card in the most correct way. For Enrique, Barcelona is a familiar team. He will analyze them well and find their shortcomings. Also, PSG's defense will have a lot of work to do in this match. They have to not give too many positions to Barcelona. I believe the French can pass the tour. Mbappe sometimes puts on a one-man show and helps the team rise to the next level. If such a day happens, it could be a terrible match for Barça.

This draw is one of the most balanced among others in quarter final draw. Both teams have the same level of strength and talented players. Although, Barcelona seems to be on form currently more than PSG because PSG has been on a bit of a slump lately with just two win and three draws in their last five matches in their domestic league. Barcelona has been playing very well recently and they have secured four wins and one draw in their last five matches in Laliga. I know this doesn't have much impact because most of this team approach champions league games with full energy and determination compared to how they play in their various domestic leagues.

Historically, these two teams have faced each other numerous times in champions league with a very balanced results. It would definitely be an interesting game to watch. We know PSG as an attacking team and Barcelona as possession based team, let watch out for that exciting day.

The quarter-finals is a new thing for both clubs where even though in history Barcelona and PSG do have a good history and experience, but the quarter-finals this time is a new thing for both clubs.

PSG in the previous 2 seasons could not go further and only reached the round of 16 and Barcelona is certainly worse because in the last 2 seasons they have always been eliminated in the group phase.
Now that they are in the quarterfinals, it is a new thing where they have to make a good contribution to avoid being eliminated.

Mbappe is still a good ace for PSG but other than that, there are also some players who can provide a different thing here where there are Dembele and Asensio who must have known Barcelona in terms of play and performance besides, this is a momentum for Enrique because this is the first time they meet (Enrique and Barcelona) after they separated before.

I see some people who are evaluating Atletico Madrid - Dortmund matchup like a really close one. I don't think so honestly. The Inter matchup was way more close one for Atletico Madrid.

But even then Atletico Madrid managed to make a great comeback big thanks to Simeone's really good player strategies in the second half of the rematch.

Here against Dortmund I can just say it should be easier for Atletico Madrid. I don't underestimate Dortmund like they would lose by an embarrassing score or so. I just think they don't have as much strength as Inter to resist Atletico Madrid and even eliminate them. Sad

Arsenal is a young squad and they have very little experience playing in the Champions League and this is Arsenal's first experience playing in the Champions League under the coaching of Mikel Arteta so it is very possible that they will have difficulty facing Bayern Munich who not only have a lot of experience here but also their squad is more experienced. playing in tight competitions such as the Champions League and they have been champions in this competition several times.
Bayern Munich will certainly consider Arsenal as a tough opponent because underestimating the opponent will only put a strong team off guard which will be easy for the opponent to take advantage of later.

Mikel Arteta will probably face strong pressure because they also have to continue to perform well in the English Premier League. If they make the wrong strategy they will fail in these two competitions and that will certainly be very disappointing because last season they failed in the English Premier League as well as in European competitions even though It's not the Champions League, but I still doubt Arsenal will be in this competition and my prediction is that they won't make it to the semifinals.

The quality of Arsenal and Bayern does not have a significant difference this season and Arsenal is even a little more consistent this season compared to Bayern, but in the Champions League it is not just quality that matters but mentality has quite a big influence on a team's performance and Arsenal doesn't have that.
Not having experience and almost the entire squad being filled with young players, of course, means that the Arsenal team does not have a strong mentality.

Having to share focus between the Premier League and UCL is very difficult, but if one of them runs smoothly there will be a positive impact so it will be easy for the team to run the other, but if one of the competitions goes down then it is possible that both of them will go down because of the influence of mentality.
This is a tough task for Arteta, they already experienced it last season and we'll just have to wait and see whether Arteta can improve and improve this season.

Barcelona have the ability to win this match. In the last match against Atlético Madrid, the Barcelona players performed brilliantly. The team is in very good rhythm. On the other hand, PSG's performance is still completely dependent on Mbappe. If Mbappe plays well PSG has a chance to win, and if Mbappe doesn't perform well PSG has a very low chance of winning against Barcelona.

he certainly has the skills to win the match without problems, without a doubt
but it doesn`t seem as solid to me as it wants to appear, on the contrary
there is a lot of turbulence internally in my opinion and a team that is not in order internally cannot give its best
obviously this is a shame.. for me

In fact, PSG is not completely dependent on Mbappe. It's just that the best striker there is still held by Mbappe. And Mbappe's performance is also at his best at the moment. Even though his contract looks like it will end there, Mbappe seems to want to make happy memories at PSG. So he and his friends might even be ambitious enough to even beat Barcelona later. But on the one hand, I also see Barcelona starting to improve. The attack coordination shown by Barcelona in the match against Atletico Madrid was quite surprising because Barcelona seemed to have rediscovered their lost strength. But still, the quarter-final match between PSG and Barcelona is still quite difficult to predict. Because I feel that both of them have equal strength at the moment. Unless Barcelona can play with their maximum strength then Barcelona deserves to be the favorite.

PSG has Mbappe, Mbappe has the ability to score a lot of goals. On the other hand, Barcelona's Lewandowski is a very experienced player. Lewandowski has the ability to break down PSG's defence. So considering the squad I cannot consider a particular team as favourite.

PSG coach Luis Enrique is well aware of Barcelona's gameplay. He knows very well how Barcelona plays the game tactically. And I would say this is Barcelona's main weakness. Xavi will have to apply a different match strategy if he wants to beat PSG. Otherwise, Luis Enrique's side will not win Barcelona against PSG.

Arsenal is a team with mixture of young and experienced players. I don't call players like Kai Havertz, Jorginho is young, they are actually experienced players. Young players in Arsenal are actually no longer too young, it's true to say so two or three seasons ago but now, it is no longer true.

Bayern Munich are one of most successful clubs in Champions League and this squad they currently have in this season are a strong one. They got some problems in last two months and fail to compete with Leverkusen in Bundesliga. In Champions League, since quarter final round, with knock out matches, and with star players they have, Bayern Munich can beat any opponent includes Arsenal.

Head to head stats between Bayern Munich and Arsenal actually is skewed on Bayern Munich with higher win rate. These coming two quarter final matches with Bayern Munich will be very big challenging tests for Arteta and Arsenal players.

The team that has qualified for the quarter-finals is the best team, whatever they have been through, what is certain is that the team that got here is the best of the opponents they have eliminated.
A slight difference is normal but not excessive so that any team will not be too favored or there will be no team that is easy to predict to qualify for the semifinals.

All the matches in the quarter-finals will be interesting and fierce and indeed the match between Manchester City vs Madrid is a little different in terms of prestige or tension because these two teams were previously favorites to win the UCL this season but have met before and that happened yesterday. This season makes the battle in the quarter-finals this season even more interesting.

Yeah I agree with you that is a fact but sometimes there are teams that are always lucky so they can reach the highest level, for example a team that is in an easy group with weak opponents well, sometimes we see moments like this in several tournaments. Arsenal is one of the teams that is in the easy group and is also playing against weaker teams but when they reach the quarter finals then we assume all opponents are equal. Next month Arsenal will have to fight against Bayern Munich there was no other choice they had to go all out.

And sometimes one thing we have to remember in the quarter-finals is that there are always more surprises and the outcome of the match will be more difficult to predict. Because yes, I also agree that those who can get to this stage are those who are the best team, both in terms of performance, mentality or in terms of luck. But of all the matches, the Man City vs Real Madrid match is actually the most interesting and gets the most attention. And actually this match is also the most difficult match to predict. Last season Man City beat Real Madrid with a large aggregate. But in the current season we don't know whether Man City will be able to do the same thing or not. Or Real Madrid will take revenge and make Man City lose surprisingly. Well, everything is still difficult to predict even though I actually already have the teams that I will favourite.

I still think that Manchester city will still be the bookmarks favourite to come out victorious here due to the debt and experience in their squad, but with the performance of Manchester city so far in the premier league and even the champions league, they haven't been that impressive as they were last season, or I will put it this way that they are not as good as they were last season, so I think that real madrid might get their revenge and knock them out of this year champions league if they on their very best when the time comes.

And as for the arsenal vs Bayern Munich game, it's really going to be a fascinating encounter between them, but I believe that Bayern Munich is going to win this one here, because in this competition, experience is key, which I know that this arsenal team lack, so I believe that Bayern Munich will definitely make their experience in this game count, and that will be enough for Bayern to progress to the next stage of the competition.

You are right, Xabi and Luis Enrique are students and teachers. And in this match Xavi will definitely try to prove that he was a worthy student of Luis Enrique Wink

.

Luis Enrique is very experienced compared to Xavi this is true. But Xavi cannot be underestimated. Last season he won the La Liga title with Barcelona. The situation in Barcelona was very weak and shaky. He has been able to stabilize this team. So I would say Xavi has the ability to beat a PSG team.

Barcelona's match strategy is quite good. Barcelona players also performed well against Atletico Madrid in the last match. The PSG vs Barcelona match will be very competitive. It is impossible to predict which team will win. Both teams have equal chances of winning.

PSG has many reliable attackers in its squad, that is an advantage that PSG has compared to Barcelona. Meanwhile for Barcelona, this team is being built with good confidence to finish this season with the best results. Xavi will try to convince his squad that PSG can still be beaten regardless of the depth of the squad they have.

This challenge must be accepted inevitably and both coaches will try their best. Luis Enrique has experience in winning titles with Barcelona, but Xavi has also done it as a player. Both coaches will compete as best they can, but I think Barcelona has a slightly lower chance than PSG of qualifying for the semifinals. Whoever can win that match will probably qualify for the final, PSG or Barcelona.

PSG have reliable attackers in their squad, but the team is still dependent on Mbappe. Barcelona squad has some excellent players like Felix, Raphinha and Lewandowski. Considering the strength of the squads of the two teams, both the teams seem to be almost equally strong. I don't see a chance to say that PSG's squad is stronger than Barcelona's.

I would say this match will basically be Xavi vs Luis Enrique. The coach whose match strategy will be good, and who will be able to find the opponent's weaknesses and create the right match strategy, will win this match. Luis Enrique is experienced. Looking forward to see how Luis Enrique prepares his match strategy against his student Xavi.

Coming to quarter finals, there is no weak team and competitiveness level in quarter final matches is very high. One moment can change eventual result of a quarter final pair a lot and we already witnessed what happened in the pair Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid.

Inter Milan nearly nailed the pair as a winning for them by scoring a goal in the second leg and expanded difference in aggregated result to 2 - 0, but Atletico Madrid scored an equalizer to keep up their hope. Even so, after that Inter Milan had a few chances to score a winning goal but their players wasted those opportunities. We knew what happened after all, Inter Milan lost.

Two matches between Manchester City and Real Madrid will be most exciting in quarter finals. Manchester City are the current champion and defend their title this season. Real Madrid are the all time most successful club in Champions League. We will have two big matches between two giants in Europe and it's like an early final match in Champions League.

Till their quarter final meetings, there will be changes in their player resources like injuries, and I will wait till their available player resources before a first leg match to see chance of each team.

This seems like the final because this season Manchester City and Real Madrid are the favorites to win the UCL but they have to meet early.
Among the other quarter-final matches, this is the only one that is quite fierce in my opinion, there is no favorite because if you look at it from any side, the two teams are equal this season, both in terms of quality and mentality.
What's interesting is that Real Madrid was eliminated by Manchester City last season and we'll see if they succeed in getting their revenge this season.

The match is quite difficult to determine who will be the favorite here because both clubs look equally strong, Real Madrid's performance seems stronger compared to last season when Real Madrid was beaten by Manchester City, while this season Real Madrid is able to be at the top of the standings meaning he is ready to face whatever obstacles he will face. Both Manchester City and Real Madrid will probably be favorites when competing at home and we will also look at the second leg as a decider because a draw could happen and will carry a penalty in this case of course everyone gets the same chance to advance to semifinals.

Interesting matches in the quarter-finals apart from Manchester City and Real Madrid, in my opinion the match between Arsenal vs Bayern Munich is also equally interesting because these two clubs also have almost the same performance, especially since Arsenal is competing strongly in the Premier League to fight for the League title, while Bayern Munich is will focus more on the Champions League because in the Bundesliga there is no chance of winning the title, many say Arsenal will suffer another defeat like their previous meeting but I think this is not an easy match for Bayern Munich because Arsenal looks stronger at the moment.

sometimes a team that has big finances is always considered a stronger team because it has talented players with higher quality compared to teams that have bad finances, but in the UCL, experience is much more valuable than money because if a team doesn't have enough experience great at UCL or players who don't have enough experience mentally will definitely fail and most likely there will be more people who say PSG will qualify for the semi finals but I choose Barcelona who will qualify for the next round.

I also agree with you, financial potential has a long-term impact, but for matches in the UCL quarterfinals, it needs the team's bravery and current form. Looking at the current strength, it is clear that PSG has a more expensive star team, but in terms of cup experience, PSG cannot be compared with Barca. The teams that have entered the quarter-finals have almost the same level of players and teams. The result will be largely determined by the player's bravery, experience and the tactics the coach applies to his team.

after I saw the upcoming UCL match schedule, almost all the matches were very interesting, but what made me more interested was the Real Madrid vs Man City match in the quarter finals.
this means that one of these strong teams must be eliminated from the quarter finals and it would be very sad if the draw for the Man City and Real Madrid match had to stop until the quarter finals, whereas I hope these two big teams can compete in the final.
so this season's UCL looks like it will lose between Man City or Real Madrid and I hope that Real Madrid will win the title again in the UCL this season.

Mancity meeting Real in this round can be considered an early final because these are considered the two strongest candidates. They are also the two closest champions in this tournament. However, in my opinion, Mancity will have a slight advantage when playing the return leg at home, because according to history, every team that plays the return leg at home has always won in the previous times the two teams have faced each other. This advantage can create more confidence for Mancity.

Based on the odds offered by Sportsbook, Arsenal were favored to win in the first leg this means that Arsenal is predicted to be able to get points when playing at home but the match in the second leg will be a determinant and in that match Bayern Munich had to play all out even have to be able to win by exceeding the aggregate in the first leg. Luckily Bayern Munich has a reliable Harry Kane when facing a team from the Premier League.

How am I seeing PSG vs Barcelona? The match will be very tough, and I can't predict who will get the opportunity to win the match until they play the first leg, but I still give Barcelona hope because they have more experience than them and have won the Champions League before; only PSG has not won it before, and I am confident that if Mbappe leaves the club, they will be able to get better strikers who can play well on the pitch and help them win many trophys.

I share the same sentiment as you regarding the upcoming match between Barcelona and PSG. Just as you believe Barcelona has a higher chance of winning, a PSG fan would also have high expectations from PSG to triumph over Barcelona. It's undoubtedly going to be a tough competition where one team must emerge victorious. When I judge by the current performance of both clubs in their respective leagues, PSG may seem to have the upper hand. However, considering their history together, Barcelona might hold a very tiny advantage. Ultimately, the outcome will be determined by who performs better on that day. Regardless of our current predictions, the result remains uncertain. As you mentioned earlier, the first leg will provide more insights into which team is likely to prevail, and that's what we'll be eagerly awaiting.

You may be right, that was one of Luis Enrique's statements some time ago. Kylian Mbappe is a great striker, he can contribute a lot to the team with the quality he has, but in the end PSG will probably face the fact that Kylian Mbappe will leave after this season is finished. However, considering that this is a good season for Luis Enrique, Mbappe will likely be relied on heavily in the Champions League and Enrique hopes he can give his best.

Barcelona may need to realize that PSG has great strength in its squad. They have many players with fast playing characteristics such as Mbappe, Dembele and several others, so this will be a tough job for Barcelona's midfield and defense. Xavi also has a knack for building a team mentality, even if he has to rely on several young players in his squad. I'm not saying Barcelona is the favorite, but Barcelona can win this match if they play with a fighting spirit and high motivation to win.

Looking drawing quarter final schedule its opportunity for PSG qualifying to final round if can beat Barcelona they will face not difficult opponent teams the winner between Atletico Madrid or Dortmund. Luis Henrique has huge expectation with Kylian Mbappe and looking his goals productivities this season will be most danger players have to defend by Barcelona in first and second leg match. Barcelona has weakness with faster counter attack and some of their defend not ready when the opponent teams build up faster attack, its great opportunity for PSG by depending Mbappe and Dembele will give chance for winning in the first and second legs matches.

But Barcelona currently had good performance, its not easy for stopping most attractive games play from Xavi Hernandez with more dominance ball possession, I think its interested match between PSG vs Barcelona.

Barcelona have the ability to win this match. In the last match against Atlético Madrid, the Barcelona players performed brilliantly. The team is in very good rhythm. On the other hand, PSG's performance is still completely dependent on Mbappe. If Mbappe plays well PSG has a chance to win, and if Mbappe doesn't perform well PSG has a very low chance of winning against Barcelona.

he certainly has the skills to win the match without problems, without a doubt
but it doesn`t seem as solid to me as it wants to appear, on the contrary
there is a lot of turbulence internally in my opinion and a team that is not in order internally cannot give its best
obviously this is a shame.. for me

In fact, PSG is not completely dependent on Mbappe. It's just that the best striker there is still held by Mbappe. And Mbappe's performance is also at his best at the moment. Even though his contract looks like it will end there, Mbappe seems to want to make happy memories at PSG. So he and his friends might even be ambitious enough to even beat Barcelona later. But on the one hand, I also see Barcelona starting to improve. The attack coordination shown by Barcelona in the match against Atletico Madrid was quite surprising because Barcelona seemed to have rediscovered their lost strength. But still, the quarter-final match between PSG and Barcelona is still quite difficult to predict. Because I feel that both of them have equal strength at the moment. Unless Barcelona can play with their maximum strength then Barcelona deserves to be the favorite.

Since the last three seasons, I've seen PSG ball, and they are relying on Mbappe. Even when Messi comes to the club, they're still doing with Mbappe, because I believe they just don't have better players than him. If he leaves the club next season, the coach will look for a young striker to cone and perform on the pitch, which is why the club still needs Dthry. I'm just focusing on the fact that he shouldn't come and say he will come back to the team if they give him money, because that is what they used to deceive him last season when Real Madrid are having interest with him and he decided to stay because they make him higher payments in the team.

How am I seeing PSG vs Barcelona? The match will be very tough, and I can't predict who will get the opportunity to win the match until they play the first leg, but I still give Barcelona hope because they have more experience than them and have won the Champions League before; only PSG has not won it before, and I am confident that if Mbappe leaves the club, they will be able to get better strikers who can play well on the pitch and help them win many trophys.

This has got to be his last days with them so he has some all he could to make it count. So far he is the best player for Paris Saint Germans. They might be trying to play around another set of players or trying not to play around just Kylian Mbappe but he has still regardless of all that's said upped his game for them.

I'm certain in the next level they're going to be progressing forward because they have a coach and a player who have both worked for Barcelona and the other has also played under the current coach Xavi Hernandez.

I don't understand the comments of Barcelona head coach, us he trying to flatter Paris Saint Germans or he is already scared. If he is this is not the mentality of a coach to handle Barcelona.
