Smooth sailing for Man City. Copenhagen just wasn't a match for them, the Danish team is not in its peak form, even in their league they lost 3 out of the last 5 games.

City is a massive favourite to win the Champions League. Odds are as follows:



Of course this will change after next week's 2nd leg games are completed. I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal moved to the top spot. They are having an absolutely great time in the Premier League, scoring an average of 4.8 goals per game in their last 5 league games. And that's including defeating Liverpool 3-1.

Inter Milan given at 10 seems to me to be a very high price for something very probable, I who see Inter Milan play have certainly seen their strength, they are a stable, strong and implacable team at the moment
I think he can easily reach the final.. for win i dont know if is possible or not, but 10 is much for me

Real Madrid were indeed bad. I bet on them like so many to win the game. But unfortunately it didn't happen. Leipzig made huge difficulties for them in the meantime. Ancelotti and the fans all must be quite disappointed with what they saw despite reaching quarter finals. I also don't want to see this version of Real Madrid in next phase(s).

The game Real Madrid played yesterday against Leipzig was such an incredible one because I was not expecting them to go on a draw, although if Leipzig were not lucky yesterday, they would have knocked Real Madrid out of the league yesterday because they had many chances, but due to luck, they were not able to win the game. To be sincere, the results displayed by Real Madrid were not encouraging because many fans were not happy with the performance they played, and if not for the aggregate, Real Madrid would have lost. 

But seeing them go on to the quarterfinals with Manchester City, we are going to see who will go to the semifinals, but to me, I have more hope for Manchester City to meet up to the semi-finals. But let's see who will meet up to the semi-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid. 

Yes, even though Leipzig played a draw and were unlucky, Real Madrid, who had experience playing in the Champions League, finally managed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Yes, let's wait and see whether Real Madrid will meet Manchester City in the semifinals. If we meet in the semifinals we will see a battle between Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola as well as a battle of the greatness of the players of both teams.
This doesn't mean to demean other teams, but Real Madrid and Manchester City this season deserve to appear in the semifinals, but there could be teams that are not favorites to beat them, for example, like Leipzig who almost stopped Real Madrid. last night.

Real Madrid and Man City have advanced to the quarter-finals, and a match between Real Madrid and Manchester City would be fascinating.
Real Madrid narrowly qualified for the quarter-finals. Their two legs with Leipzig showed that they can't be trusted when they face Man City or any team that isn't a favorite to beat them. What if they somehow pose a threat? It's very possible, but it's not certain that Real Madrid won't improve their gameplay in the coming days. However, if Madrid continues to play the same way they did against Leipzig, no one will count on them.

Madrid is one of the strong candidate teams to win this season.
It would be a very Madrid thing to do. Wink

Although the reason why they was bad at defending in the first place was because most of their defenders are out injured. Their #1 goalkeeper is also injured. Although it would be peak Madrid if they outscored everyone else in the next few rounds with the squad they currently have and clinch the trophy again.
Injuries concerns are surely creating problems for the few teams but still things are under control as we have in Real Madrid vs Leipzig with Real Madrid able to promote themselves for the next round with their injury hit team and now hopefully things will be better in coming matches here I am not agreed about just one team with most chances Barcelona will be able to go through because they are surely hitting badly with injuries and other problems but still after ending on draw in first leg game they are able to do better again in second leg and go through into next round of this season.

Napoli is also improving but still their chances for going into last eight are not enough because things are really out of their control due to their long term issues and drop in performance badly in this all season as well even now they are also on improvement, but now it's too late for them.

The expected results happened last night. M.City and Real Madrid are the two favorite teams of this cup, nobody thought that they would be eliminated here. Let's see which teams will match.
Yes, Manchester City and Liverpool qualified for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League as we expected, and there was no upset. In the second set of the UEFA Champions League's last 16 matches, there can be an upset because some clubs almost have the same strength in this second set. 
I think you are referring to real Madrid, because it was real Madrid and Manchester City that qualified from yesterday matches. Though real Madrid survived that encounter as it wasn't really easy for them. I was thinking real Madrid was going to score many goals in that game but it wasn't what I expected. Madrid struggled to score and when they finally scored Leipzig responded with their own. At a point I was thinking Madrid were going to lose that match. Thanks to the first leg result that helped Madrid qualify for the next round. Manchester City on the other hand did a clean job and progressed to the next round as well.

Manchester City just satisfied the expectations by getting another comfortable result.  Smiley  Could it have been a bigger score? Yeah actually but Guardiola just wanted to rest significant amount of players in their usual lineup. I think he did the right thing by that as we think there is a crucial Liverpool game in the Premier League in a few days.  Wink

Real Madrid were indeed bad. I bet on them like so many to win the game. But unfortunately it didn't happen. Leipzig made huge difficulties for them in the meantime. Ancelotti and the fans all must be quite disappointed with what they saw despite reaching quarter finals. I also don't want to see this version of Real Madrid in next phase(s).

Real Madrid had defense issues Ann they're yet to solve that completely, as for Vinicius Junior, he should have been red carded for holding that player by his neck, that's not part of the rules of the game and should be looked at for further suspension. I'm afraid that will not happen, these officials tend to be bias lately. Glad they was able to secure themselves the move to the quarter finals. For now we await the results from next week before the next matchup of clubs.

Same Copenhagen that did make life difficult for Manchester United and also Bayern Munich even if Munich got to to finally win the game from.the group stage. This shows hoe much Manchester City are way above aome clubs.
I agree with the face that goals should have exceeded that number. But good win as they prepare for Liverpool at Anfield during the weekend.

Clubs keep fighting for winning. Elimination is definitely the main thing every elite team is avoiding this season. The club's anticipating doesn't seem to be threats for Real Madrid and Manchester City, its really going to be tougher than expected but we've seen the important matches and knowing the level performance of these teams. Real Madrid and Manchester City are flowing in with their heavy stellar performance in the competition. They're very promising for significant positions and moving to the final should be compulsory and alongside easy for them.

I think that you are saying this because you are an Arsenal fan, and you just wish that your dream should come true. Will it be possible for Arsenal to survive till the final stage..i doubt it. Arsenal might be winning weak clubs with a lot of goal in EPL, but I don't think that they can ever try that in UCL. From history, Arsenal is poor in UCL matches, and they easily get kicked out from the quarter final stage.

If it happens that Arsenal should come in clash with Real Madrid before the finals, then take it that Arsenal is out of the league, because when it comes to quarter finals to the finals, if you are not very strong, and I don't think that Arsenal players are strong, enough to win Real Madrid. You cannot use the performance of a club in their local league to judge their performance in UCL.

I think it's realistic for a fan to defend his team regardless of all the conditions of the team, like those who defend Arsenal are most likely Arsenal fans who show their attitude, but don't you also do the same thing with Madrid and maybe you are also a fan of Los Galaticos, I think we have the same right here to express views and so do Arsenal fans who may not be sure if the team was able to go a long way this season.

I personally think that the Madrid vs Arsenal match will be difficult to predict because we are all blind in looking at the statistics of the latest meeting between the two teams, cause indeed since 2006, Madrid and Arsenal have never met each other so far, indeed Arsenal and Madrid have faced each other and as i remember it might have happened in the Pre-season league and if not wrong the two teams drew 2-2 at that time,, But if you look at their official meeting, of course there is an old story about Arsenal who were indeed able to beat Madrid in the Champions league in 2006 with ascore of 1-0, but of course the statistics of the old meeting we cannot use as a reference to predict who will win later if Arsenal and madrid meet again, but cerrtainly both teams will have the same chance to win if we see the performance of both which is currently quite good.

In today's match Man City vs Copenhagen in UEFA Champions League, in the match between two teams, Man City team won today's match by scoring 3 goals. Copenhagen team scored 1 goal today. Man City team played great since the start of the game. Copenhagen team's goalkeeper performed very poorly today.  Copenhagen team lost for. Man City team is much stronger than Copenhagen team.
Copenhagen is actually not a complicated opponent for Manchester City but they were still able to score one goal against Manchester City, even so the score was no different from the previous first leg match, but we have to admit that Manchester City deserves to go through to the next round and Copenhagen must accept defeat. because it is difficult for them to beat Manchester City, at least Copenhagen has tried hard to get into the round of 16 which can be said to be a good achievement.

Aggregate 6 - 2 is a high score result, Manchester City have shown their abilities in the match in the UCL and do not underestimate any of their opponents, after this I hope Manchester City meets a strong club to get rid of them at the start so as not to make things difficult at the end of the final, although the journey is still quite complicated, I'm not confident that Manchester City will win the UCL title before Madrid and Munich are truly eliminated first, like last season where both were eliminated by Manchester City before the UCL final, I can't wait for the results of the meeting for the next quarter-final after Atletico Madrid's match with Inter Milan later.

We have two favorites for the UCL this season and that’s City and Madrid. If we should use the performance of both teams yesterday to get the winner of the UCL then I feel City will be winning this trophy again. Real Madrid were shitty yesterday and I sincerely don’t know who to blame, but I pass much of the blame on Ancelotti because of his tactics. Though to an extent the tactics proved to get the equalizer goal though.
Okay that's your favorite but it seems you forget that Arsenal is still in the UCL competition, and they are one of the team who may likely win the competition with their performance. And your right about the fact that Real Madrid are not consistent in their performance. Yesterday we said how Manchester City were busy shooting inside the goal net. Just in 10 minutes they scored two beautiful goals. This shows that they are ready and if a slight chance is giving to them, they will win the UCL again.

However, i would rather bet for Arsenal to win the UCL. I know for a long time now they haven't been in the UCL competition. That is why they are very serious and in the EPL they are a strong title contender so that is why i believe they would do same in the UCL. We saw how they won Manchester City in the Premier League first leg same thing might happen if they play against Manchester City in the UCL. Currently they are a strong match for Manchester City but i don't know about Real Madrid if they can be able to stand them. Judging from recent performance i have the conviction that Arsenal will win Real Madrid if they get to face each other.
I think that you are saying this because you are an Arsenal fan, and you just wish that your dream should come true. Will it be possible for Arsenal to survive till the final stage..i doubt it. Arsenal might be winning weak clubs with a lot of goal in EPL, but I don't think that they can ever try that in UCL. From history, Arsenal is poor in UCL matches, and they easily get kicked out from the quarter final stage.

If it happens that Arsenal should come in clash with Real Madrid before the finals, then take it that Arsenal is out of the league, because when it comes to quarter finals to the finals, if you are not very strong, and I don't think that Arsenal players are strong, enough to win Real Madrid.

the game in this round was, in a way, good games with the exception of the real madrid game against Leipzig, it was a game in which I didn't have high expectations about real madrid but even so I bet on real madrid thinking that they would at least be able to win the game, but it was a disappointment, real madrid only wins by luck, even in la liga it has been a team that is at the top because the other teams in la liga are all a disaster and very weak, so real madrid was at the top , and in the European Champions League they managed to move on to another stage thanks to luck, not even playing against a weak Bundesliga team that isn't even in the top 4 of the Bundesliga, but even so, Real Madrid couldn't win

in my opinion real madrid needs a striker, I really hope they manage to sign mbappe, because only then will real madrid's attack be more effective, but I still think that even if they manage to sign mbappe real madrid will still need one more another good striker, this is because vinicius, rodrygo cannot score goals constantly, so it is necessary for real madrid to be able to have at least 2 new strikers and sell 2 strikers, this would make real madrid's attack very strong. Anyway, I hope that Real Madrid's next opponent is another weak team, because if they face strong teams, the chances of being eliminated will be very high. In any case, Real Madrid made me lose money

The score was still the same as what happened in the first leg and Manchester City moved easily without having to play against an equal team. Copenhagen had bad luck after struggling to get through the group phase and there they were also waiting for Manchester City to be sent home. It was truly an unequal match and I hope Copenhagen will not be discouraged by being eliminated from this round.

And City, quite expectedly, were able to passed Copenhagen, confidently beating them in both matches. Now they have to wait until the rest of the round of 16 matches are completed to find out their next opponent. So far, of all the teams, I like the way City play the most, perhaps for me they are the favorites now. Before yesterday's match, I also really liked Real Madrid, but yesterday I saw how difficult it was for them against Leipzig.

Vini's goal was the only good thing about yesterday's match. Fortunately, Madrid scored one goal in the first leg.
In the second leg, Leipzig played better than Madrid, but they were clumsy in front of goal.
I am pleased Madrid to have qualified. But not by their performance
And yeah, City's consistent performance in the Champions League makes them the most favored team to win the title.

Yes, everyone agrees that City and Madrid are candidates to win this season. Their performance is very good and they are potential champions in their respective leagues. City confidently qualified for the next round after beating Copenhagen in the first and second legs. Madrid also managed to qualify for the next round but they drew in the second leg and progressed with a narrow 2-1 aggregate. But this does not mean City is stronger than Madrid. Real Madrid really dominates in La Liga and they are no longer competing for the title. City is competing closely with Liverpool in the race for the EPL title. So I think the performance of both teams is equal. But I slightly favor Madrid because they appeared very solid even though they achieved a draw in the second leg.

Yes, Manchester City and Liverpool qualified for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League as we expected, and there was no upset. In the second set of the UEFA Champions League's last 16 matches, there can be an upset because some clubs almost have the same strength in this second set. 
Maybe what you mean is Manchester City and Real Madrid. For me, Manchester City's performance did not disappoint at all. But for Real Madrid, to be honest, I am a little disappointed with their performance. Because in my opinion, as one of the strongest candidates in the Champions League in the race for the title, Real Madrid should be able to do better. But still, Real Madrid should be appreciated because somehow they managed to qualify for the next stage as we expected.

Now there are 4 matches remaining in the round of 16. And the matches I am most looking forward to are the Barcelona vs Napoli match and the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match. I think these two matches will be two matches that are difficult to predict. But I have already decided which team I will favourite.

Real Madrid were really in trouble yesterday.  Sad  Because their way of play was really problematic. They were quite weak at defending against Leipzig in the first place. They were just lucky that Leipzig wasted many of them so generously. I can't even imagine the potential result if they faced a much more capable opponent.  Shocked
I saw no positive from real madrid yesterday. What players did only to keep passing the ball. I could not really understand why real madrid played so awfully at home. That never happens since in the group stage. Real madrid played like it was not real madrid.
I saw different clubs playing against Liepzig. Probably ancellotti prepared something for us. The way real madrid played the game was not even structured. I'm glad to see how Vini was helping Madrid with his idea to move right when he was guarded by Leipzig's LB.
Madrid might be out of UCL if Vini did not score in that game. This is not the usual standard Real Madrid often shows. I wonder why the standard has been decreasing a lot. Real Madrid played so average in that game.

The interesting part is Real Madrid played worse than the time they didn't have Bellingham. You know that he was injured in the time of the first leg but they still won that match. I can't say their game was impressive there either though.  Tongue  If they continue to play the same I won't be very positive about their title chance.
You forget that if Madrid had Bellingham in their starting lineup. Real Madrid makes no changes throughout the game against Leipzig. The squad must go thorugh some significant adjustments. The attacking line was not particularly aggressive.
Ancellotti must urge all of his players to do better in the upcoming round. It's because Madrid will face so many harder opponents who can beat them at any time.  If Madrid continues to play as it did against Leipzig, it will not even be better than PSG. 
The club shall be evaluated to know which thing has become the main problem for Real Madrid. As a bettor fan, I am truly disappointed with the result.

No one should think that Manchester city played a small or weaker team in there QF yesternite. It was a deserved win for them I must say and no other prediction would make sense without considering this English side for a final with a worthy side.  They may just be champions again because they already perform that way in all their remaining matches across all leagues.

Real Madrid sure did well to help counter my betting predictions for yesterday's game and am not happy even though they made it out on aggregate scores. I doubt such team would give Manchester city much headache if they get to meet for a face off in the UCL finals.
However, the fact is, Copenhagen is a weaker team than Manchester City so they can win the match easily.
There were no surprises and indeed Manchester City were favored enough to advance to the quarter-finals easily.

Likewise with Real Madrid, even though they played a draw, I think that is very natural because their motivation is not that big because even with that result they will be able to qualify.
As usual, the Real Madrid team can always be different when they need it and I don't think that the result of this draw indicates anything about the performance of the Real Madrid team.
