I agree with you that this was a very risky strategy. But Madrid is a very experienced team. Ancelotti in particular is a very experienced coach. And he knows the opponent's weakness very well. In this match, Leipzig played attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. They were defeated in the first leg match. So Leipzig needed to win this match by a margin of 2-0. And since Leipzig played attacking strategy, Ancelotti was tactical in this match. He kept Madrid's defense tight. And the Madrid players tried to score from the counter attack. Although Madrid kept their defense tight, they produced several excellent counter attacks. And until the end, Madrid managed to draw 1-1.



The way Leipzig's players performed in Real Madrid's home match is absolutely commendable. Leipzig's players really played well in this match, and I would say that Leipzig's players performed better than Madrid's.
However, Real Madrid qualified for the quarter-finals. Performance in Madrid is still very stable. Madrid players are in a good rhythm. Real Madrid will not face any obstacles in winning the La Liga title. Now Ancelotti will try his best for the Champions League title.

Carlo Ancelotti's formation is largely to blame for Real Madrid's poor performance. If I say that Ancelotti is a tough guy and a bad coach, some people will assume that I don't know any good coaches or that I just don't like him. Ancelotti started the game with five midfield players; how can a coach who wants to win do that? Five midfielders without a striker or wing players who can move the ball with Vinicius? To be honest, that lineup is terrible, and Real Madrid is lucky to have won the first leg with a goal; otherwise, they would have faced Leipzig in penalty kicks. Leipzig also had some opportunities yesterday that they missed, so this would not have been a funny conversation with Real Madrid.

Manchester City is the type of team that every other team needs to be moving forward against. Pep Guardiola did not seem to care that his team had won the first leg of the match and that he might have used a different formation because his only goal is to win every time. For this reason, I always think of Pep ahead of Ancelotti because he is currently the best coach in the world, and any team that can defeat Manchester City must be very strong.

My bet was only need real madrid to won the game but it's failed. I can relate to the other bettors who are also facing the same thing as me. Real madrid's performance was declining a lot, and it  looked like a different real madrid compared to the what i have always seen. Real madrid lost its instinct to make as many goals as possible. Totally unexpected result achieved by real madrid. I thought that i would be winning this bet easily but real madrid has destroyed it all.
Despite the fact that the club was playing at home, it performed very poorly. Unfortunately, it seems that the club has encountered yet another disaster. It is crucial for Real Madrid to address their underwhelming performance and strive for better results.


Manchester city is always consistent in showing how good they are. The result against copenhagen has reflected city is very consistent despite so many rumors that the club even weaker than last season.
The transition that has done by manchester city has been successfully performing very well by beating copenhagen with almost the same score as the first leg. Copenhagen was out of UCL.

Ancellotti must be thinking about how to get a better result for the upcoming game. The club can't show the same performance like the match against leipzig. I have imagined that if real madrid would score a lot in this game but the fact said the opposite thing.
Madrid made me lost. Was madrid lowering its standard?

I also predicted that Real Madrid would win easily because they were playing in front of their own supporters, so I bet on Real Madrid, but in reality, on the contrary, they were held to a draw by Leipzig. In my opinion, this is Madrid's worst performance in recent times, they underestimated their opponent, in this case the Leipzig team. In fact, if we look at Bundasliga Leipzig throughout the season they appear like this playing solidly, they only lack front line players.

Even though Real Madrid has qualified for the next round, if they play like this I doubt Real Madrid can reach the top, namely the final of the UCL League this season. Ancelotti needs to learn from this match, where when the team experiences a deadlock he must have a reliable strategy to break the deadlock.

Actually I partially agree with the first  top five teams, but I don't actually think arsenal is better than inter Milan, so in my opinion, inter Milan should had been ahead of them, and of a truth, this arsenal team is quite good, but we need to understand that experience is an important player after quality in a competition like this, and Arsenal we all know have that tendency of not being reliable in major competition especially in the champions league and I don't really sees them going as far as the semi final stage of this competition, because experience is very important, and that is what this particular arsenal team lack.

What you said came true friend, even though I was sure you only said the aggregate in the 1st leg but surprisingly in the 2nd leg yesterday Manchester against Copenhagen ended with the same score 3-1 according to what you said and my bet won betting on Manchester winning city but unfortunately the odds are very small.

For the Real Madrid match against Leipzig, it seems like your prediction was a little off, friend, because you said that if Real Madrid played at home they would definitely be much superior, but it turned out to be very bad, only ending in a draw and luckily in the 1st leg, Real Madrid managed to pocket 1 aggregate score so managed to qualify for the quarter-finals but to be honest, I'm not sure Real Madrid will get the title this season if they only have the performance of always narrowly winning every match.

We have to admit that currently Man City still looks like the strongest team this season in the Champions League. Last season Inter Milan surprised everyone by providing fierce resistance in the Final against Man City. But in the end Man City still won. And now Man City also has the opportunity to return to the final. But we don't know which team can provide fierce resistance in the Final if Man City actually reaches the Final.

Pep's team really seemed to be enjoying the match with ease. They didn't look stressed at all. This shows the readiness of a team as strong as Man City. Meanwhile, in the Real Madrid vs Leipzig match, we can see that Real Madrid is under more pressure towards their goal. And I Real Madrid are not at their best. They must immediately improve their performance because in the quarter-finals everything will become more difficult. Because the opponents you will face will definitely be on a different level from Leipzig.

I agree with the table display above where the big 4 strong candidates include Manchester City, Bayern, Madrid and Arsenal. Well, for Arsenal, I will not underestimate them this season, who have made slight improvements in a positive direction. But because in Leg 1 they were behind against Porto, in Leg 2 they will carry a heavy burden. If they succeed in turning things around, perhaps what I hope will materialize as part of the strong candidates this season joining Manchester City, Bayern and Madrid. We also still have Inter and PSG both as unexpected options because they are both strong and experiencing positive trends this season.

I would guess a great deal of gamblers lost money because of the poor result Real Madrid got against Leipzig, because even if they were able to move to the next round, this is not really the performance that we were expecting out of a team that is looking to win the UCL, especially when their rivals were able to get convincing wins during the second leg, so Real Madrid better get their act together or they may lose their chance at getting the title.

In general, if Real Madrid shot 11 times on goal, and Leipzig only two, then it is logical that Real Madrid won. Although it should be noted that Vinicius should have been suspended at the end of the match for grabbing Orban by the neck, but apparently the referees decided not to touch Real after the refereeing scandal with Valencia.

Although a yellow card for grabbing a player and pushing him is not enough, for such behavior Vinicius should have been suspended for sure, so that then other players do not allow themselves the same and despite the fact that Vinicius took Real to the next stage, his behavior on the field was disgusting.

Very disappointed with the result achieved by real madrid in this game. The club like being a toothless club and it made my bet collapse like you. People who are thinking thiis result is good for madrid may not bet in this match.
I pick madrid win the game but the performance from real madrid was so awful. Madrid was also rarely attacking leipzig and it was also forcing the club gets draw. Many people have very big expectation for real madrid.

The club can't keep to play like this in the upcoming game. I understood that if win is a sin but we must also be careful with its performance in the upcoming game. There will be tougher opponent to come soon.
We can't really sure with the chance of real madrid to win the game. I was picking total over for manchester city but this is very bad result.

Very disappointed with it. Madrid could perform to fully attacking it and im sure it will be fully working on the club. Im sure that if it's not only me who was feeling disappointed.
All of madrid bettors are also feeling the same thing like us.

As expected, Bayern Munich got big 3 - 0 win over Lazio and Manchester City also got 3 - 1 win over Copenhagen, but unexpected results occurred in the Real Madrid vs Leipzig match.
Real Madrid vs Leipzig match really went well when Real Madrid was able to dominate the match and scored their first goal in the 65th minute thanks to Vinicius Junior, but unfortunately in the 68th minute Leipzig was able to score goal which made the result 1 - 1.
Even though Real Madrid managed to take the lead and qualify for the next round, this was result that did not match expectations.
I had multi bets in these 3 matches but unfortunately Real Madrid made mess and failed.

Manchester City on the verge of retaining the UCL again, it's mainly for the strongest club to stand out alive in all these numerous fights. There's a reason I always pick Manchester City ahead of Real Madrid because they don't any soluble results for the opponent to think about winning, City will play the game as if they're losing 1 nil down. Pep Guardiola have impacted that mindset towards his players. What's wrong with Real Madrid? They struggled with RB Leipzig and creating room for doubts this season. I think Real Madrid credits to reach the UCL final should be put in doubt because there's definitely no space for that.

My prediction was completely wrong in that match and I was lucky I didn't bet on that match. Bayern Munich got an important win at home and now they are back to high confidence. It's time for Tuchel to try to make changes, especially in the Champions League because for Bayern Munich the title in other competitions is impossible to achieve. Now all that remains is the Champions League and Tuchel's task is how to maximize tactical to emerge as a champion candidate.

Bayern Munich played well in that match so they managed to win the match and I saw that their mentality was really strong as an experienced club in the Champions League. Ball control, passing and passing accuracy also look perfect, this is how Bayern Munich should look because they have good quality players in the team.

Damn,,,, Why did Real Madrid have to be held to a draw at home when the victory was certainly very crucial for Los Blancos even though this result qualified for Real Madrid to the quarter-finals but I was a little annoyed with the multi bets that were thwarted by Real Madrid.

If Manchester City does not need to be doubted if they play at home if it's not wrong last season they also met Copenhagen, right? Or am I wrong?
But basically we know the easy victory of the home/away match because they want to show again as the most powerful team facing anywhere but Copenhagen is not the solution.

From how they played, it looks like they played for a draw but it is a risky strategy because we saw that Leipzig nearly came to a second goal and only luckiness can help Real Madrid to avoid a second conceded goal. If Leipzig score that goal, the match will go with 30 more minutes for 2 extra halfs and maybe penalty shootouts.

I saw it too and Leipzig shown their strength against the most successful club in Champions League history. The opponent are still one of best candidates for Champions League title this season but Leipzig were not fearful, they simply played and enjoyed their own football style.

This match ended as a draw but Leipzig actually took advantage of this match to show off some of their good young players and they potentially will have some profitable transfers in the summer market.

Manchester City vs København was a great match in UEFA Champions League and Manchester City managed to win. We saw that Manchester City won the first leg and managed to win the second leg in a spectacular fashion. København tried hard but couldn't succeed as Manchester City's brilliant attack saw them come into the match and miss out on the knockouts. Manchester City are currently in the best form in the UEFA Champions League and they will have a chance to win the title this season. Manchester City's excellent performance at the moment can confirm that they will definitely be at the top this season.

I'd say it's a good result for Madrid. A draw would have seen Madrid qualify for the quarter-finals. Therefore, Real Madrid did not need to win by a large margin in this match. I even think that the Madrid players played for a draw in this match.

Madrid did not attack much in this match. In the first leg match against Leipzig, Madrid played completely attacking. But in today's match, Madrid's main goal was to keep their defense strong. Leipzig played a completely attacking strategy today, while Madrid kept their defense tight and counter-attacked. We didn't see any goals in the first half because of Madrid's defensive play. If Madrid played attacking strategy, maybe we would have seen many goals in this match. Because Leipzig's players tried a lot to score. But Leipzig's players could not find any weakness in Madrid's defense.

Leipzig tried to win at Bernabeu and after they equalized it, Olmo created a shot which hit the cross bar of Real Madrid. They came so closely to extra halfs and made Real Madrid fearful with that shot and some pressure in late of second half.

The performance of Leipzig at Bernabeu is very good and they can proud of themselves with this performance. I disagree to say Leipzig had it because of Real Madrid poor performance as in reality they worked to have it.

Real Madrid is another name qualified for quarter finals together with Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City. So far we have all big names for quarter finals, 4 more names will be known next week.

Well, I do not think it’s so disappointing for Real Madrid, considering the fact that they won the tie on aggregate and are onto the next round alongside English side Manchester city. With several core injuries, Ancelotti is leading the Madrid team well
