We can say that Real and City are already qualified for the next round.Tonight interesting games are taking place with Paris game for me being one of the best games to watch as opposite mentalities are playing,I am sure Real Sociedad will have a defending mindset here by not risking to go in attack while Paris quite the opposite,I think they will dominate the game tonight and I fear they will crush Sociedad completely.

I don't think PSG can completely crush real sociedad. PSG were not that impressive during the group stages and it took them extra efforts to qualify. Real sociedad are going to match them in this game. PSG have the support of their home fans but I don't think the score line will be that big. Am seeing the game ending with a score line of 2:1

It's been a short break in the UCL. A lot of changes in terms of performance and pattern of playing had been made even since the UCL was paused. I believe PSG have picked up in their performance. I won't say anything much about the match against Real Sociedad because anything can happen. It may sunrise you that PSG has returned to their brilliant performance again.

My prediction is that both teams would score combining it with Mutiple goals of 3 and above. I will not be tempted to choose any direct win as the game won't be an easy one for both teams. However, Real Sociedad has a higher chance of winning the game since they are very good this season.

I got so bored while watching the Leipzig - Real Madrid match honestly. But Brahim Diaz's amazing goal was really worth watching.

I wish Leipzig were also able to score which could have made the match more enjoyable to watch. If their goal in the first moments wasn't disallowed due to offside things could have been really interesting.

Real Madrid still won this match despite lacking really important players starting with Bellingham. I expect to see a more solid effort from them at Santiago Bernabeu to finish the job.

Leipzig took yesterday's match very seriously. Real Madrid would not have won if it weren't for bad luck. The team's performance in the match was not as strong as it had been previously, and I firmly believe that Jude Bellingham's play for real Madrid is contributing to the team's success. Although Brahim Diaz does a good job playing the position, Vinicius and Rodrigo's performances differ. At times, Bellingham's strong attacking play helps the team score goals.

It's a good thing that Real Madrid won because if they hadn't, they would have been planning how to beat Leipzig in the second leg. Since the second meeting would take place on Real Madrid's pitch, many of the team's players would have returned by then. Additionally, based on what I saw yesterday, Brahim Diaz appears to have injured his ankle and may miss up to two matches. My question is, who will Real Madrid use to fill Brahim Diaz's spot as I don't really trust joselu these days.

Leipzig played well in attack. The team regularly attacked the opponents' goal, there were constant passes to the goalkeeper's area, Sheshko twice went one-on-one with Real's goalkeeper. But Leipzig were unlucky in that match, they could not realise a single moment. They scored one goal, but it was cancelled. And Real's goalkeeper Lunin was at his best, he made 9 saves. As a result, Real won with a minimum score. So in order to beat Real Madrid it's not enough to play well. It takes a lot of luck.

The goal in the first half was disallowed because it was offside. If you commit a foul from an offside position, it still counts as being offside because you're affecting the play. So, no matter what, it was not a goal. In my opinion, the referee made a fair call.
while holdings luck isn't unusual, it's in Madrid's nature to win. But what a goal by Brahim Diaz! Even though he's not a regular starter, he delivers when given the chance. He played in Bellingham's position and did well. yeah, beating Madrid is never easy because they're also known as the comeback kings at the same time holds luck.

I also consider this match the most interesting. In my opinion, these are two equally matched teams. In their current state, Bayern is not a contender to win the Champions League this season. However, the Germans will still try to go as far as possible. Lazio is also having an uneven season, sometimes playing well and winning, sometimes losing. It's difficult to predict the outcome of the two-legged tie, but in this game, I'll go for a draw. Both teams are not strong in attack, and I won't be surprised if neither of them manages to score. My bet is a draw.

Maybe Bayern have not the best of times now, but they must beat Lazio, who are now in the middle of the Serie A table. It seems to me that Bayern were lucky with their opponent at this stage, and Lazio will not be a problem for Bayern. In another match, PSG were less fortunate, their opponent is stronger, you can expect trouble from Sociedad, I just watched their last games and I see that in the last 4 games they have not scored a single goal and conceded only one, for comparison, PSG is doing much better, must win at home.

To be honest, I wouldn't expect anything more from Real Sociedad than the crushing defeat they will suffer in the first leg against PSG. I have a strong reason why Real Sociedad had to lose because this team has not improved at all over the last month in the domestic league and since the break in the group stage some time ago their performance has not been more consistent.

Meanwhile, PSG is much better prepared to play this match and they will maximize their home advantage in the first leg to beat Real Sociedad. I see PSG as much stronger and however they can always be relied on when they are in the round of 16 and I think Real Sociedad must be ready to accept defeat and also reverse the aggregate difference in the second leg, if that is possible for them to do. Real Sociedad's chances of qualifying, which were initially quite high, are now much smaller than I saw.

It's hard to guess it but i think PSG has enough capability to beat real sociedad. The main problem is now of PSG may be facing difficulty to beat la liga team. PSG can fully focus on how to beat sociedad. The only way to beat it through use fully defensive strategy and im relly sure that if PSG will win the game soon.
Sociedad is always playing offensively against any opponents on UCL. The same strategy can't be implemented to beat PSG soon. PSG is far stronger compared to the old opponents beaten by sociedad.

Sociedad needs to prepare something good to prevent the club from winning the first leg. I hope that sociedad will be playing safely instead of fully attack against its opponent. PSG has been favored to win the game but let's see how good sociedad will be playing against it.
Im thinking that if PSG must prepare something special to be showed to the sociedad soon. PSG has a lot of resources to beat sociedad and i do believe PSG will able to do that with good score.

Paris Saint-Germain's match against Real Sociedad will be more interesting to watch than the other match between Lazio and Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio is an interesting match because it can be a decisive match for Tuchel future in Bayern Munich. If Bayern Munich get a bad result from a first leg match, I am not quite sure that Tuchel will still be their coach in a second-leg match. Lazio is not a too strong team in Europe while Bayern Munich bought Harry Kane and aimed at winning Champions League.

A bad result against Lazio, after a shock defeat under Leverkusen, will force Tuchel more closely to an exit gate.

If I'm not mistaken, I once found news about Tuchel's future at the Allianz Arena after Bayern Munich lost against Bayern Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich (CEO) said that Tuchel will stay at Bayern Munich for next season.
Bayern Munich's match against Lazio, in terms of strength, Bayern Munich will not experience big difficulties. From experience, Bayern is also better than Lazio. If Bayern cannot win in the 1st leg, the chance to qualify is in the 2nd leg.

Since the Bayern CEO and the entire team management has guaranteed Tuchel another whole season, he is free from any unnecessary pressure from fans, but he need to put more effort to make his team stand out in the Champions League because this season’s Champions League will be difficult to predict.

Based on form, Bayern Munich is the favorites, and based on their last two meetings, Bayern is still the favorites because they won their last two matches against Lazio.
I am expecting as win for Bayern today with more than two goals.

Leipzig really have the opportunity to beat real Madrid yesterday but they fumble and misuse the opportunities. The officiating was not too fair but that's not enough reason or excuse, they perform below expectations. The couch also has to be blame for the lose because he could have made the change in a timely manner but he still stubbornly stick to his strategy of making changes only beyond 70 minutes when things have been damaged beyond repair. It is very sad but Leipzig actually played well and they had plenty opportunity to score but were just unlucky totally. Nevertheless, there is still opportunity to turn things around in the second leg but I doubt if there'll be any different result in Santiago Bernabeu.

Santiago bernabeu will become a scary place for leipzig. It was not even able winning at home and how can we expect that leipzig to win the game in santiago bernabeu? I think that leipzig has no chance to win the game. it's caused by the competition is just getting evens stricter for leipzig. Many clubs have proven that if santiago was a scary place and real madrid was also very often in destroying its opponent on santiago bernabeu. I hope that everything will be going so well, leipzig has zero chance to win against manchester city. I will obviously bet on manchester city caused by the chance to win is also very big this time. It looks very weird to see that if real madrid will lose against leipzig at home.

Real Madrid got what they wanted against Leipzig at least. Otherwise I wasn't satisfied with their first half performance. Things were a little better in the second half but only in the attacking line. Because Leipzig also found really significant goal opportunities to score the equalizer. Lunin was really decent with his saves on one hand.

In the other game Manchester City did a really great work just as most people expected. I respect Grabara's performance by the way. Despite losing by 3-1 he still made amazing saves. The final score could have been much worse. I think Grabara deserves to play for a better team with his general effort.

PSG today will face Real Sociedad, assuming that PSG status may be superior on paper, but remember that the opponent is a Spanish representative club which is quite strong in terms of defense. It will not be easy for PSG to beat Real Sociedad, even though their performance in the Domestic League is less than optimal, UCL can motivate Sociedad to be more ambitious, especially if PSG underestimates them, then get ready for a surprise. Enrique needs to be careful because Kubo is one of the players who might trouble his defense. Kubo even though his body is small, is very good at disrupting the opponent's defense.

Lazio vs Bayern doesn't seem to be surprised if the Bayern players are able to control the match. That is even if their mentality has recovered from the crushing defeat to Leverkusen which is considered painful. I'm sure the Bayern players especially Harry Kane don't have time to mourn what has happened. Those in the UCL have quite a high potential to reach the top 4 depending on what kind of tactics Tuchel will apply against teams from Serie A. In Head to head 2 times they met Lazio and were unable to win the match.

PSG have been playing well lately, so they'll likely perform well tonight. PSG's attackers will likely be frustrated by Sociedad's strong defense. Given PSG's firepower, I anticipate them to burst through even the toughest defenses. With players like Mbappe, who can change the game in seconds, PSG is hard to beat. I think PSG will win the strategy battle.

And I agree about Real and City. City seems in control, but Real's condition is slightly more sensitive, right? Their 1-0 lead is fragile, but they're home. Especially if Bellingham returns, they'll win. Their performance without him was solid; with him, they should be stronger. Leipzig isnt out, but its unlikely they'll overcome the Bernabeu deficit. Real is capable, but football is unpredictable!

Well, Leipzig still has a small chance of getting out. Leipzig can still score one goal at the Santiago Benabeu and try to hold this advantage until the end of the main time and pull to a penalty shootout, where it is possible to beat Real Madrid. In the victory over Real with a difference of two goals is hard to believe, so I believe the main calculation of Leipzig will be on a goal and penalty shootout.

There is no home-away goal advantage and Leipzig will have to beat Real Madrid at Bernabeu with at least two-goal difference or with one-goal difference then win in extra halfs or penalty shoot-outs. Even beating Real Madrid at Bernabeu is a big task for Leipzig but it's their only way to go to quarter finals.

Leipzig has nothing to lose after losing a first-leg match at their home stadium but they can take their performance into consideration and keep up their belief that they can do something big at Bernabeu. Not always a bigger and stronger club can win at home and Real Madrid are victim of some shocked results in Champions League in the past, against Monaco, AS Roma and some other clubs.

If they play with best power they have, don't make mistakes, they will be eligible for quarter finals. Else, Leipzig will take the ticket even with very small chance.

Real Madrid won the first leg in the knockout stage of the Champions League, while

This condition certainly makes Real Madrid step one foot forward. There is always a possibility that happens in leg 2. But with the conditions playing at the Bernabeu and the statistics of existing players, Madrid is the favorite to qualify for the next phase. In the match, Madrid actually didn't have many test shots on goal. Even Leipzig were statistically superior. But Madrid were more effective and Lunin was outstanding. Hala Madrid!!! Grin

Credit to Lunin as he was a great savior with several shots from Leipzig but still managed to make a good save.

The lone goal made Real Madrid comfortable for the second leg, even if Real Madrid had lost by a goal in the first leg I wouldn't have worried because they could have come back in the second leg but luckily Real Madrid won so they were a bit more relaxed.

Taking the bet was quite satisfied with the odds @ 2.25 because I said it was quite high.

Now PSG vs Real Sociedad is also an interesting match, a little doubtful about PSG because this team sometimes lacks passion but if the first leg is played at home then it can be an asset in the aggregate of goals later.

What a goal from Brahim Diaz and what a save from Andrey Lunin! Shocked

I wouldn't say this match was boring and even though only one goal was scored, both teams presented an exciting match. Both Leipzig and Real Madrid attacked each other and as hosts, Leipzig worked hard to break through Real Madrid's goal.

Leipzig created quite a few opportunities in this match and they often threatened Real Madrid's goal with dangerous attack schemes. But here Andrey Lunin showed his qualities as a good goalkeeper and managed to make 9 saves. Benjamin Sesko, Xavi Simons and Dani Olmo often bombarded Real Madrid's defense but the results were still to no avail. Brahim Diaz's solo run goal was spectacular and it seems Ancelotti was not wrong to pin his hopes on him. Now Real Madrid only have a slight lead on aggregate and in the second leg in March they must win again at home if they want to maintain their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

PSG is not playing very well in the Champions League, so I have little faith in them. They will have less chance of winning than Real Sociedad. It is not known who will take the field, but I assume that the composition of the teams will be the same as in the previous games in the series .Real has a better chance of winning; the defense at the bottom is even better than that of PSG. PSG most likely don’t really need the Champions League, so I don’t expect them to win here.

Sociedad are struggling in La Liga and they have worse performances than the last season. It gives PSG good chance to beat Sociedad even they had not too good matches in their group and only were eligible for round of 16 after a last group match.

I fail to see how PSG don't want to win Champions League because they invested a lot of money over many years, just to win a first Champions League. They got one final match some seasons ago and failed against Bayern Munich. They are wanting to have another Champions League final match and definitely will not want to be stopped to early in this season by Real Sociedad.
