After first leg game there were too much talk about Arsenal and Porto game with most chances I have feeling we will have result like we have in game Bayern Munich vs Lazio because currently Arsenal is surely at the top with their quality and things can go into their favour without any problem but still they need to understand while they will be host Porto they give their best because once they have already done mistake while they underestimate their opponent Porto and lost the first leg game now hopefully they will be at their best while they will face them and also give their best game which will allow them for having spot into last eight.

In last few games we have best from the Arsenal while they are now having good experience as well which will help them for having better results and then surely in coming days they are going to face another challenging match while they will visit the Etihad Stadium for the Premier League game where things will be decided can they go for the title or again going to end at the top four without title.

Yes, you are right in the fact that Manchester City still doesn't look good in their back line so they often concede goals, but I believe everyone needs a process to adapt, especially as there are new players filling in at their back line, it's not that easy to adapt quickly, they need good communication. on the field to be able to maintain the team's strength, specifically in the back line so that they don't concede goals easily, Manchester City may realize that they often have gaps that are easy to penetrate and that must be fixed.

I'm not sure Inter Milan will make it to the UCL final this season because last season they didn't have a tough enough journey compared to Manchester City who had to face Munich and Madrid to reach the final. If Inter Milan were in Manchester City's position of course they would be eliminated at the start by Madrid or Munich before reaching the final, I admit that Inter Milan's strength is quite good in the domestic league but they have to face the strongest clubs in the UCL which they probably won't be able to get rid of, especially the class of Madrid and Munich which could get rid of them before they reach the UCL final in this season.

Manchester City was more consistent last season than this season, and they beat the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to reach last season's UEFA Champions League. There is a possibility that Inter Milan can beat Manchester City this season if they qualify for the UEFA Champions League final because they have improved their performance.

Real Madrid performances is not very good but experience give Real Madrid the strength to be able to continue to appear to win and continues their journey to the final round and we don't knows which team will be Madrid winner in the quarter final but I hoped that it will be a strong team will not meet Inter or Man City and if in the quarter finals Madrid meet these two teams it will definitely be very difficulty for Ancelotti to come up with a planning to beat these two teams.
even though I am very proud of Real Madrid, for this season I am more resign that not having a scorer with a pure striker will make it difficult for Madrid to wins the title, but even so, I still really hope that Madrid can progress to the final rounds.

Inter may be the favorites but Man City still has a chances to wins another title and for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich it seems unlikely they will achieve a prestigious achievement this season unless Madrid can bring in Mbappe.

Inter has been very strong this season, and they have being consistent in their matches. They have only lost one game, which tells how strong they are. Inter reached the finals last season, and from the look of things, is like that is also their target this season, which is to make sure they reach the finals. They are experienced, and more determined this season compared to last season.

Atletico Madrid cannot be underestimated, because they have shown some brilliant performances in the matches this season which should make any club playing with them to be very careful, when playing them in Spain. Diego Simeon will do his best to see that his team will win Inter, but will Inter allow them to penetrate their defense, and snatch away the victory from them, because Inter have more advantage for lead with 1-0 aggregate.

As at now it's looking a bit far to predict the possibility of Manchester city and Real Madrid to meet in the finals, I'm very much aware of their form and how well their performance has been both in the champions league and in their various domestic leagues, but then in champion's league it's usually a different ball game altogether as the spirit are high and players are in the vibe to challenge and probably win.

How successful you have been in your domestic League sometimes may not really matter in the champions league as last season real Madrid were doing so well but we're not able to make it to the champions league finals so it still very much possible that a team can be doing so well all along but a slight mistake will be the reason they will not be able to book a spot at the finals of the champions league. This is also seen in other league too asides the champions league, Manchester city bad Real Madrid will actually give us a very exciting and interesting finals to watch if they eventually get to meet at the finals this season.

Obviously pep I'd very much prepared this season a s is very much willing to get to the finals a d win the trophy again and it's looking very likely they will be able to do it so its within Real Madrid to decide that they aswell wants to get to the finals too with Manchester city and contend for the trophy this season and who every plays best wins the trophy but they we actually can't ascertain from now but it very likely.

In most cases, we never judge teams with their domestic performance because we have history of matches while teams were not good into their domestic leagues have impressive performance and success into UEFA competitions so in this case things can go as well even Inter Milan is having good first leg game and their chances are bright but still Atlético Madrid is also never been easy team to play at their home against any team with few weeks back they beat Real Madrid and won their match.

Here if we have success for the Inter Milan surely this could be good for them and chances could be high for them to go through until semifinal or final as well because they have good squad which is giving his best and their experience is also going to be important for them in coming matches while they will be gone for the second leg game in Spain.

I doubt Inter Milan would win Manchester city if they get to meet next or in the finals, should they qualify out of this QF.
Real Madrid may have failed to show their last opponent how though they are by scoring more than a goal, but firstly, they were already ahead on aggregate and secondly, they scored first. Had the opponents scored first and they fought to equalize, it would have been counted as them putting on a poor performance.
Real still got a lot of tough matches both in their league and champions league, so they know when to play it safe and when to go all attack.

First, we must not forget that FC Porto in the Champions League are one of the European greats and big sides. As much as Arsenal has a good home form, they will still go through challenges to get the win against Porto. They did well though when they played the first leg of this fixture. The Goalkeeper David Rays should have done better to save that game though. In the Premier League, he has gradually silenced all of these haters and criticisms he's got from all the media and pundits, the defense has also helped complemented his saving skills.

I can vouch for Arsenal in the Premier League Competition, but in the Champions League. They're not good, they may likely survive this round but the next? I pray they don't meet a club like Bayern Munich yet again in the next stage. Lol.

With history, we've seen that they're nothing but bottlers even in the Champions League, I don't know if Mikel Arteta would be the man to lead them to glory.

If Real Madrid continues performing like this, they might meet a club that will outscore them in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final or semi-final, which will end their UEFA Champions League campaign this season.
 With Inter Milan's consistency this season, both in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League, and their current high goal-scoring record, I see Inter Milan as a UEFA Champions League favorite. 

Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG are the four teams that have been confirmed to qualify for the quarter-finals and now we just have to wait for the results of the other 4 matches which will take place starting next week. I think this will be a very exciting round to see the competition to win the Champions League and if not, I will still go through the draw round to find out each other's opponents.

Next week I want to see Arsenal, Barcelona, Inter and Dortmund as the final round and for Arsenal I hope they can make a comeback win at home. The previous defeat in the first leg against Porto reduced public expectations for the Gunners' performance. Even though if we look at what they do in the domestic league, it is always impressive, but somehow Arsenal's turn in the Champions League is not so good. Because of this, many people criticized their performance in Europe's biggest competition and they had to produce good results by outperforming Porto's previous aggregate.

With the performance and success of the Real Madrid this talk is already ended they need more attackers in this team because things are going more than expectations, and currently they are leading the La Liga with their sport in last eight is already settled their all players are doing impressive job and having good success with Jude Bellingham is hero while Vini and Rodrygo are also having bright future here for the years things are completely under control even Kylian Mbappé is still top talk for his future to be moved in Spain, but currently we can't talk about this all with we have to wait for this all.

Carlos Ancelotti is also extended his contract with it is now going to be ended in 2026 which will give good benefit for this young squad and Real Madrid management which is happy with their success and all things which are going into their favour without any problem now who is going to face them in last eight all fans are waiting for this.

Now we have few days left in draw for the next round of the 8 with four teams are already qualified, and just four are left which are going to play their games in next few days, and then we will have draw just because of this right now we can't give any prediction who is going to face which team with anything possible, and we will have eight best teams from the league for the title race left and this could be the most interesting part of this season while all teams are having impressive performance specially from the Manchester City and Real Madrid and PSG which are in last eight and waiting for the next round matches.

Now we have four games left with prediction is surely not easy for these games because all teams are at their best and things can take any change during match day, but fans are desperately waiting for the games Barcelona vs Napoli and Atlético Madrid vs Inter Milan because these are teams which have quality at the level and any team can win game on their day.

There are many final matches that will be played in the quarterfinals this season, I mean some of the favorite teams will probably meet in the quarterfinals instead of the semi-finals or finals. Manchester City is a strong opponent for Real Madrid, but both have good squad depth to compete for the title. Apart from that, Inter and Arsenal can also be expected to reach the semi-finals or even the final, but unfortunately it is still difficult to predict who will progress from the quarter-finals if the favorite teams meet earlier.

I don't expect Manchester City and Real Madrid to meet in the quarter-finals, but the meeting between the two is expected to occur in the semi-finals. PSG and Bayern Munich are also good so far, but their chances are not as good as Manchester City and Real Madrid. I'm still waiting for the other 4 matches for the round of 16, we still have 4 teams that will win tickets to the quarter-finals.

Manchester City and Real Madrid will probably meet again in the Champions League to compete for this prestigious trophy this season because Manchester City is still a worthy opponent for Real Madrid and is also still a candidate to win the Champions League trophy this season. I think when they meet again in the Champions League this season, the match will definitely be very exciting and the Real Madrid coach must have prepared a special strategy for this because they really want to get back to getting the Champions League trophy this season.

If you look at the strength that the Arsenal team currently has, they shouldn't have too much difficulty turning things around in the second leg, especially since the match will be played at their home ground, Emirates Stadium, but many people doubt Arsenal because of this team's mentality, not because of its quality. And Arsenal and Arteta should be able to prove that it will be very influential in improving the team mentality of their team in the second leg.

The match tension in the Champions League is definitely different compared to other competitions.
If you really believe in Arsenal being able to turn things around, that's quite natural because Arsenal will be very favorites in the second leg and if there are no big surprises then Arsenal will be able to win the match, I think it's worth betting on Arsenal winning.

Inter Milan are currently one of the best teams in all of Europe, they are flying in the seria A and they have the advantage over Atletico Madrid to progress to the QF. Having said that, i think we can start including Inter Milan as one of the favorites for the CL this season, they made it to the final last season, and i think they can do it again with how they are playing, mind you that Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich are not playing at their very best, thus this might be an opportunity again for Inter Milan to reach another final in two successive seasons, though i don't think they can be champions.

Ancelotti is well aware that his forward lineup is not strong enough. His squad lacks an experienced striker. Most of the time the team has to rely on midfielder Bellingham to score goals. Vini and Rodrygo's performances are very erratic. These two players cannot be relied upon.

This is why Ancelotti is so tactical. He brings changes in match strategy in almost every match. Find out the opponent's weakness and create your own match strategy. And I would say because of Ancelotti, Madrid's performance is very good in La Liga and Champions League. Madrid will have no problem winning the La Liga title. Now the team aims to do well in the Champions League. Looking forward to see which team Madrid face in the Champions League quarter finals.

Fighting and beating Porto in the second leg should be able to prove for Arsenal in the Champions League which is indeed they are underestimated, for now Arsenal must be able to optimize the second leg in order to continue their journey in the Champions League this season, seeing Arsenal's performance in the league which is so very spectacular, of course, is inversely proportional when they played in the first leg and were defeated by Porto in the final minute Match.

What you are saying is true that the atmosphere between the Champions League and the Premier League is very different and maybe even the journey of a club in the Champions League will be more difficult than they play in the league, but somehow when I see Arsenal play at home I am quite sure if Arsenal will be able to beat Porto, Arsenal home record this season is quite good and even they perform quite solid when playing at Emirates Stadium,  I don't think we can underestimate Arsenal just because they lost 1-0 in the first leg, especially when we saw often Arsenal make surprising comebacks when playing at Emirates Stadium so far.

It depends on the condition of the strong club if you really want to see whether the club is lucky or not.
For example, Manchester City is currently very strong but the conditions of the players who are very reliable do not have injury problems or other problems so that a strong club like Manchester City will not be unlucky unless Manchester City condition looks strong but always succeeds with a narrow score because it has problems injured players like Haaland.
We can see other examples such as Real Madrid which currently looks very strong too but winning is always dangerous because it is only with a narrow score, not even in the CL but also domestically Real Madrid is not able to score big because it doesn't have a striker like Manchester City.
There are other examples, such as Bayern Munich, which look strong and has no problems, but its performance is not strong enough, and clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are sometimes unlucky.

Actually, this season we can also see which clubs will qualify for the semi-finals and there are several candidates, but more precisely we have to see who will qualify for the quarter-finals and in that round we can see for sure which clubs will qualify for the semi-finals.
