We can say that Real and City are already qualified for the next round.

It is not yet certain that they will qualify, but Manchester City and Real Madrid are one step closer to being able to qualify. Especially Manchester City who won with an aggregate goal of more than 2.
Real Madrid created a good opportunity in the 1st leg because Brahim Diaz's goal was very important as capital when playing in the 2nd leg at Santiago Bernabeu.

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.

Paris Saint-Germain's match against Real Sociedad will be more interesting to watch than the other match between Lazio and Bayern Munich.
Paris will definitely target victory with a score of more than 1 to make it easier for them when playing in the second leg. However, Real Sociedad will not play completely defensively. If Rea Sociedad plays defensively, I think it will be a problem for them.

I personally don't think it will be difficult for City and Real Madrid to qualify for the next round. Real Madrid however won by a narrow margin of 1-0. But the last match is Real Madrid's home match. Leipzig team is not in good form. I think Madrid will win the home match by a big margin. Madrid played well without Bellingham in this match. Real Madrid's performance will be stronger if Bellingham is with the squad in the next match.

Real Sociedad is not a strong team this season. But their defense is strong enough. If Real Sociedad's players are able to score the first goal of today's match, it will be difficult for PSG to make a comeback in the match. However, Luis Enrique is an experienced coach. PSG will hopefully make no mistakes in a crucial match.

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. A draw is also possible here. And in such a situation, of course, the factor of preparation for opponent and how they generally plan to counterattack, occasionally using this strategy, but again, matches in both the Champions League and the League confirm that the Parisians can be stopped with any strategy at all.

Although Real Madrid won this match, I am not happy with Real Madrid's victory. Real Madrid were a strong team but managed to win by just one goal. I expected Real Madrid to win by a bigger margin but it was a very competitive game until half time. Leipzig attacked a lot, with the Leipzig team hitting the goal post with 14 and Real Madrid with 15.

I think what makes Madrid strong and favorites is their winning mentality. I think a score of 1-0 is enough for them because they can really perform solidly and have a very good mentality. You can see how they were able to escape the pressure in La Liga when Girona put pressure on them in the previous few weeks. They were able to play solidly and yesterday they were able to beat Girona 4-0 and make them very likely to become La Liga champions this season. I think the same thing will happen in the Champions League. They won't be able to score a lot of goals but they will be able to perform solidly in every match.

Real Madrid are now stronger than before in La Liga, and since that time, I believe Real Madrid are becoming stronger than Girona. Everyone was hyping in the past few weeks when they scored Girona. I was surprised that they beat Girona even with the pressure Girona comes with because the reason why I put much hope that Girona would win the game is that Girona was at the top of the standings for some period of time and Girona was unbeatable by other teams, so that's why I was thinking they wouldn't beat them, but they managed to win Girona.

Although they won't be as strong as they are in the champions league, obviously because of the stronger teams that are in the champions league and the top teams that are in the champions league that find it easy to beat Real Madrid if they meet in the champions league teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, and some other top teams, and again, if you look at their result yesterday with Leipzig, it was 1:0, so you can see that it is not the same as La Liga; if it were in La Liga, they would score more than that.

City definitely solved all the problems and secured a calm return game, but Real cannot be so calm, one goal is not enough to say that they are moving on, but a home match is an advantage. Today I will also watch the PSG match, it seems that they are in good shape now, but Sociedad traditionally has a strong defense, and they will definitely play from the back, hoping for counterattacks.

If you look at how they play, this is actually an almost equal match because ball possession and how the attacks are carried out all have equal percentages.
It natural that Real Madrid only won by 1 goal.

Madrid playing as a guest will of course have difficulty winning because Leipzig really played very optimally in front of all their supporters, that's why Madrid only won narrowly in today's match, but in the second leg of course playing at Madrid's home ground they could win with a score of more than In this first leg match, it is true that the strengths of both are very good so the match is quite balanced in terms of statistics, both of them are quite strong.

But Leipzig had to admit Madrid's strength that they played better than they thought, that's why Madrid won narrowly in today's match which ultimately put them in a safe position for the meeting in the second leg because Madrid only needed a draw score and was guaranteed to qualify but It seems that they will win the match against Leipzig at home where in front of all their supporters at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium it is possible that Madrid will win by a landslide there, this result is quite surprising but not disappointing for Madrid fans.

It should be noted that Leipzig also played very well, especially in the first minutes of the match they had several opportunities to score... Probably Real were lucky to win this match, because Leipzig didn't play as well as they did... Maybe the second half was really for Real, but if they make the same mistakes in the return game, they could be in trouble...

First leg of this match went well and Real Madrid could still win even if it was only by 2 goals but this is a home match for Leipzig, then Real Madrid will meet again in the 2nd leg with home advantage and also 0 - 1 aggregate.
In the next match, I sure that Leipzig will suffer a big defeat and of course this is an easy match to be able to continue the competition by entering the last 8 and Real Madrid will definitely be better in the last 8.
In this match I was quite amazed by how the Leipzig players tried to apply various pressures which made it difficult for Real Madrid but they failed and were unable to play and scored single goal.

I didn't like the referee of the Leipzig - Real Madrid match at all. He just made many mistakes I think.

First of all we didn't even see semi-auto offside technology being used on Leipzig's cancelled goal in the first minutes. Just why? Huh

After that the referee should have showed two yellow cards in total to Real Madrid and Leipzig players for the incidents he gave advantage for. I mean the incidents in the first half.

Apart from that I didn't like Real Madrid even a bit especially in the first half. Without Bellingham they are experiencing serious problems. Sad

In my opinion if the won against girona will be boosting the performance from the club a lot. Im concerning about how good the performance of real madrid is right now. Real madrid is still playing very well even without bellingham. This club was not the same like other club. Ancellotti has been building a special team that was not getting a lot of impact once it would be missing some players. Girona was not able beating manchester city. I think that if we have got the champion of la liga this season. There will be no club that can compete with rela madrid right now. Barcelona keeps struggle to beat the weak team and this proves that if real madrid will be obsolutely dominate the competition started from the middle to the end of season.
Things are changing so fast in la liga. Buying bellingham has been helping real madrid to consistently winning the game. he was a very important asset owner by real madrid. I hope that if real madrid will get la liga trophy this season.
It's not weird to see that if people are not favoring real madrid to win the competition as soon as possible. Madrid is leading the competition right now.

Real Madrid is lucky in this match, Leipzig already tried their best to score a goal, but unfortunately they got nothing. Although Bellingham may likely absent in the upcoming match, but Real Madrid will have advantage since they will play in their own homes, so I don't see any chance for Leipzig to pull an upsets.

This 1-0 win was enough for Madrid because next they will play at home. I watched the match and indeed Madrid was really able to appear solid for the full 90 minutes. The two teams actually appeared evenly matched. They both had 50% ball possession and they also fired several shots on target. But Madrid appeared much better and more efficient. They can maximize their style of play. They were able to score 1 goal from just 3 shots on target, whereas Leipzig was unlucky because they fired 9 shots on target but none of them became goals.

The second leg match is sure to be exciting. I think Leipzig will learn from their mistakes and will go all out in the second leg. They are not a team that is chasing the league title. So I think they can focus more on the match in the second leg.

The difference in strength between Copenhagen and Man City in this match was really clearly visible. So even in home matches Copenhagen seemed very difficult to defend. But the 1 goal they scored was quite surprising to me and yes, I appreciate Copenhagen's efforts in being able to respond even though it was only 1 goal.

And in the end Man City managed to score 3 goals according to what I expected. And maybe Man City will score more goals in the second leg.

Meanwhile, the RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid match really made those of us who watched it quite nervous. Because both teams continuously tried to attack each other. And both teams were able to put pressure on each other aggressively. But those of us who bet on Real Madrid were finally able to calm down after Brahim Diaz scored a goal at the start of the second half, namely in the 48th minute. Could Real Madrid's productivity have decreased due to Bellingham's absence in the match? Assuming Bellingham isn't injured. Maybe Real Madrid can at least score 1 more goal in this match.

I saw a lot of people picking Copenhagen to win City and I wonder why they took such risk, yes football is full of surprises but come on they're facing Manchester City, one of the best club in the world and currently the best team in the EPL. Maybe they thought because Copenhagen defeated their neighbours United and they could do same to United, lol to bad they lost their bet cause City showed Copenhagen who's boss and I believe they'll give them an embarrassing defeat when they come to the Etihad in the return leg.

Well Copenhagen really tried in that match they're no match for City but they tried in holding their ground in the 1st half by equalizing in the 34th mins after Debruyne's opener but in the 2nd half City became more dominant and add 2 more goals to end the game with a 1-3 in Copenhagen's ground. That's to tell you how strong the team is they're one of the most likely to win the tournament and I wonder why anyone would think they'll lose to Copenhagen.

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.

There's a reason the odds on Real winning were 2.3. At first it seemed to me that this is a lot and the odds should be 1.7 -1.9 because Real Madrid is stronger than Leipzig and also in great shape, but the game showed that the bookmakers were right in their assessment and the match was competitive and unlike the Manchester City match where everything became clear quickly, here Real had only one goal advantage and everything could have changed if Leipzig could have scored at least one goal.

Now at the Santiago Bernabeu Leipzig will have a very hard time and the chances of getting out are very small, I think no more than 10-20 percent.

I also think that Man City will score more goals in this match. Because even now Man City looks like they can play very comfortably. Meanwhile, Copenhagen is really under very high pressure. I think 3 goals could be scored by Man City against Copenhagen in the current match.

But for the RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid match, the score is still 0-0. And both teams have good chances. I hope Real Madrid can also make a stronger dominance in this match. But it looks like that hasn't happened yet.

I didn't watch the RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid match but when I looked at the match statistics it was clear that RB Leipzig could keep up with Real Madrid or even had more shots on target than Real Madrid and even RB Leipzig's passing accuracy was also better. . I don't know what happened in that match but the statistics alone are quite worrying. But I bet on Real Madrid winning for that match. And I still believe Real Madrid will win.

For the Copenhagen vs Man City match, currently the score has not changed. And it seems that Copenhagen is strengthening their defense because they are aware that they could concede more goals if they don't immediately strengthen their defense. The match became a little boring. Because I also hope that Copenhagen can provide a little better resistance.

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.

I agree with you on this. Winning mentality is one advantage Real Madrid have over many clubs. I have actually come to understand that phycology play a very important role in the success of every team. Take Jose Mourinho for instance, he has this special way of motivating the players when he was coaching Chelsea and also Inter Milan during the peak of his career. He knows how to bring out the best in his players and transform an average player to an exceptional one.

Real Madrid's away win yesterday was a wonderful achievement for them because I don't see how Leipzig will come and win Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu. Even though it is a game of football that can go either way, Real Madrid have the experience and squad needed to tame Leipzig so they will definitely have their way

I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to win with just one goal either. Honestly, Leipzig are not weak team against Real Madrid the way i expected them to play, Leipzig has 9 short on target, while Real Madrid has 3. Leipzig would have scored even more goals if Real Madrid's goalkeeper Andriy Lunin hadn't made many saves. Since Real Madrid is currently in good shape and Leipzig seems like a weak opponent even in the Bundesliga league. I thought Real Madrid will not have a difficult time to beat Leipzig. Real Madrid need to be very strong in their second leg, if Jude Bellingham is fit before then i think Real Madrid will win them easily, since they will be hosted by Real Madrid in the second leg.

This is not how we expected the Real Madrid game against Leipzig to end, we know that the victory is very important; if Leipzig's goal hadn't been disallowed for offside, the match would have ended in a draw. If Real Madrid performs like this in the second leg, I don't think they will win the match because their performance is really poor in this first match.

I think the same thing will happen in the Champions League. They won't be able to score a lot of goals but they will be able to perform solidly in every match.

In my opinion, winning with a score of 0-1 in the away game is enough to prove that Real Madrid is very strong this season and their mentality is strong enough to achieve their targets this season. Leipzig certainly cannot be underestimated because they were able to play quite well in last night's match, but in this case Real madrid is certainly not an easy opponent for them to beat so the score of 0-1 proves how fierce last night's match was.

This victory also makes Real Madrid even more at the forefront of qualifying for the next round because in the second leg Real madrid will have the status of host and that will make it difficult for Leipzig to beat Real madrid at the Bernabeu stadium. With Real Madrid good performance in La Liga and the Champions League, it seems that it is very appropriate to make Real Madrid a strong candidate to win the title this season.

I think this match was a little disappointing because Lunin really carried all the players until the final minute. More than 8 goal saves he made. It is clear that the Leipzig players understand Madrid weakness, namely in midfield. Bellingham absence had a very bad impact and was used as an opening for opponents. The pressure from the first half was difficult to avoid and without Lunin, Madrid might have lost points in this match. The 2nd leg will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, which will be more favorable for Madrid so today's advantage is very important. Despite the less than entertaining performance, I admit that Brahim Diaz goal contribution saved Madrid. One more thing regarding the controversy over the referee decision to disallow Leipzig goal and not a few of these decisions are still hotly debated.

I understand that there must be some of us who are disappointed with Real Madrid's performance in this match. Because I personally am also a little disappointed. I am happy with the victory that Real Madrid managed to get. But the narrow victory was far below everyone's expectations. What disappointed me was that RB Leipzig was able to match Real Madrid's performance in that match. And actually RB Leipzig always almost scored a goal. And clearly all of this makes all of us who are favorites Real Madrid very worried throughout the match. But the most important thing is the end result. And I think Real Madrid in the second leg will definitely be able to score lots of goals. Because in the second leg, Real Madrid as hosts will definitely be more confident.
