A very professional performance from City and a well deserved victory, City controlled the game from start to finish and they were basically unlucky not to have won by more and kept a clean sheet, but they would take the 3-1 win back to the Etihad and they already have one foot in the QF of the CL.

Having said that, make no mistake that Copenhagen is a very good team, and it was not an easy win, the thing is just that City have so much quality and it is almost impossible to stop them when they are in this sort of winning mood, the rest of the teams in the CL and EPL must be worried about the menacing form of City, they are out to defend their titles.
City played impressively tonight and they showed and acted like the defending champions on the field against their host Copenhagen who also tried their best to put in a good performance so that they can stop City from achieving victory ove r them, but it was impossible because City cannot be stopped due to the high quality players that are in the club. I have automatically given City qualification to the next round, and I hope to see who City will be playing in the next round because it is clear that City wiill achieve victory in Etihad Stadium during the return leg.

There was no other choice for Copenhagen other than to play defensively and maximize opportunities when counter-attacking. Manchester City dominated this match too much even though they actually didn't score more than 2 goals so far. Copenhagen's defense in the second half was much more closed and they looked good defensively, but Manchester City will never be comfortable with a 1-2 score like this.
Copenhagen is used to defensive style of play since in their group stage matches, they are usually it a team that play possession football, they only focus on any counter attack they have to make their goals from them, but Manchester narrowed them to only one short on goal today.

This is almost a straight hope for City, they are almost in the quarter final stage because I don’t think Copenhagen is good to score more than one goal away from home against team like Manchester City.

Quote
Real Madrid also performed well in the away match against Leipzig. This is an impressive match, especially because Leipzig also doesn't want to lose at home. The score of 0-1 still remained before the match ended, but Leipzig was still trying to avoid defeat and so far they have good statistics. Leipzig haven't had much luck, but let's see until the end of the game.
The match ended 0-1. Away team Real Madrid won the match, but the match is a 50/50 match because Leipzig is always a strong opposition to Real Madrid. If Leipzig can do more in the second Leg, they can qualify because some of the Real Madrid players are injured.

This is a day that is highly anticipated because after all, the matches in the Champions League are starting to take place. The opening matches are Man City vs Copenhagen and Real Madrid vs Leipzig. Most of us are sure that Man City and Real Madrid will win this match. But the results will be fine. Moreover, Real Madrid, they competed without Bellingham, right? He suffered an injury. So, this might be a little difficult for Real Madrid. Thankfully they are already ahead 0 - 1. But what can we do, they should be able to score more goals.

Manchester City had a comfortable match comparing to Real Madrid. In fact Copenhagen barely made a threat and they had only few attacks. Manchester City were able to score 3 goals and almost securing a spot for the next round. Anyway the second leg will be easier and home for them.
Real Madrid now won with only one goal difference with an injury for their player Diaz who was expected to replace Bellingham. Real Madrid are suffering from injuries in all lines!

As I've said before, this is likely to be a tough match with few goals scored. Because after all, Real Madrid is also playing without Bellingham due to injury but indeed, even so at least Real Madrid still has good dominance in this match . But still, although Real Madrid can still play well but ya, the reality is that Leipzig also does not play badly at all . Therefore, I believe that there will not be many goals scored in this match, even if they do manage to score but the end result may only be a narrow victory like one goal or maybe even a draw.
On the first half match, actually Real Madrid not really dominance how difficult scoring goals and created many attempt, the host team RB Leipzig get dominance the match looking how many success shots on target than Real Madrid difficult for playing more aggressive due huge pressure from RB Leipzig player. Real Madrid less offensive games play seems after Jude Bellingham injury, in attacking midfielder, Brahim Diaz performed not really well and he less get chance for scoring goals.

The attacking line of Real Madrid on the first half their performance not really quit well where Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz still get difficult how to get opportunity for scoring.
I am waiting Real Madrid's second half performance are there any possibility scoring one or two goals as capital for second leg match?

I think it's still safe to assume Real Madrid will play a more offensive game during the second half. The first half did not live up to expectations even though Real Madrid made several attempts to score. The first half ended goalless and both teams had their chances. Real Madrid, with all its superior squad and experience, has a higher chance of winning the match, even if Real Madrid falls behind its opponent.

Without Jude Bellingham it wouldn't actually be a big problem, but Belligham could have a big impact on Real Madrid's attack scheme. Right now Brahim Diaz proved his quality when he gained trust, he scored a goal and put Real Madrid 0-1 ahead of Leipzig.

One can see that Real Madrid are at the top of their game right now, being able to face and beat Girona in the last fixture and getting ready to beat Leipzig in this match.

Brahim did a wonderful job there, trying to make up for the absence of Jude Bellingham with a goal already. That is a good alternative to Jude in his absence.

In this Champions League, every club has tried as much as they could at this point. However, some clubs are not as strong as others, and that is why they've been displaced so far. Leipzig is one club that I would also appreciate because I didn't expect that they would be this forward-coming at this time.

Looking at the last match they had with Real Madrid in the fixtures, they were able to win three to two against Real Madrid. But I doubt that is going to happen again tonight because Real Madrid is already leading with one goal and would like to make up with more using the likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, or Valverde.
The game is over and just only one goal which was scored by Brahim Diaz was the only goal in the match. Real Madrid have seven straight win currently in the champions league.

Leipzig tried their best in the match but they weren't lucky enough to find the back if the next as Real Madrid goalkeeper deprived them from scoring any goal. The second leg will be in Real Madrid home, and I expect to see more goals on that day.

Copenhagen are playing absentees in the match. They still managed to score 1-2 and score one goal. If they can stop Manchester City at 2 and score one more goal, they can make the miracle happen. Even a draw is a good score for Copenhagen. Real managed to take the lead in the other match. Brahim Diaz's goal put Real ahead in Germany. I expect more goals in the rest of the match because the match is lively.

Real Madrid is in a good form although they missed some players because of injury problem. Real Madrid only has 1 available center back, Nacho. Other center backs are absent, they can't play in this match. Luckily, Ancelotti has Aurélien Tchouaméni who wants to play in that position. And he can play as a center back very well.

Brahim did a wonderful job there, trying to make up for the absence of Jude Bellingham with a goal already. That is a good alternative to Jude in his absence.
This man has a very interesting potential, he plays aggressively. I'm happy that Ancelotti gives him more times to play. When Bellingham can't play, Diaz can be a good replacement. He proves it by scoring a goal in this match.

Looking at the last match they had with Real Madrid in the fixtures, they were able to win three to two against Real Madrid.
What do you, mate?
I guess there is something wrong with your statement.  Huh

Manchester City had the ball but Copenhagen tried to defend well. City found opportunities again in the first 10 minutes and the first goal came in the 11th minute. De Bruyne's return took City up a level. His harmony with Foden is perfect.
After the goal, Copenhagen's resistance will decrease and City will be able to get more opportunities. City wants to get an advantageous score from the first match and advance to the next round. Copenhagen had a disadvantage because their own league wasn't played, this became clear. It will be a smooth round of 16 pass for City.

Manchester City has just scored the 2nd goal, it seems they want to secure their position in the second leg. Manchester City controlled the match from all sides and I'm sure they will score 1 or 2 more goals.
Manchester City are the stronger Team and they have shoot 14 times on the goal and there are more chances to come. I also believe that more goals will be scored. There are still 30 minutes to play and City will win the game. The second match is on March 6 and they will win that too, then they go in the round to the last eight of the Champions League. Big and important teams are still there and Real Madrid scored the 1-0, they will probably play in the final this year.

In the second half, Real Madrid and Leipzig will both try to score goals so they can feel a little safer when facing the match in the second leg. But in today's Champions League match I prefer the match played by Manchester City because in the first half alone Manchester City was able to score two goals with one goal in return from Copenhagen. So Manchester City's match looks like it will be much more exciting in the second half than Real Madrid's today.
Although Real Madrid has more ball possession, but they must try harder to pass Leipzig defenders.
And unfortunately, in the second half, Leipzig was more offensive than Real Madrid. Real Madrid seemed quite difficult to attack the Leipzig defense and failed several times. This is quite worrying because I thought Real Madrid would win without experiencing much difficulty, but it turns out that Leipzig can be quite troublesome too. If it's like this, even though Real Madrid is ahead, this is still quite worrying. Real Madrid must be able to turn things around and further increase the effectiveness of their attacks, so that at least they can add another goal for the sake of the aggregate later.
This time, Leipzig vs Real Madrid is still 0 - 1

On the other hand, Man City is also leading from Copenhagen. The score for this moment is still 1 - 2

As good as the Real Madrid team is currently, I don't think a team like Leipzig will be able to stop Madrid's winning streak.

Real Madrid's players have played brilliantly in every match of the group stage. Madrid won all 6 matches. Real Madrid team won by dominating both matches against Napoli. And Ancelotti is very serious in Champions League matches. He will try his best this season to win the Champions League title. My prediction is Real Madrid will win both home and away matches against Leipzig to secure their quarter final ticket.

This match shouldn’t be much trouble for Real Madrid. This is just the first half of the game and Real Madrid are owning the possession. RB Leipzig could give them a tough time but I know in the end, Real Madrid will prevail in this match. The current form of Real Madrid makes them unstoppable to be beaten by any team now and they are always in their best form while playing the champions league. They are amongst the favourites for the champions league title and they have to prove that they’re just the best in this match today by winning the game and also winning the second leg match with them too. The quarter final tickets shouldn’t be a problem to them, I am certain they will make it to the next round.
Real Madrid has taken the lead over their host four minutes after the second half stared.Brahim is a good player, as he took the ball from almost the midfield, and drive in between Leipzig players all alone, he dribbled first, second and third then with a good finish, he too a beautiful strike which went straight to the left side of the goal post into the net. It was a goalless first half but Real Madrid have proven themselves in the second half.

Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid

Seems like we're watching different matches. Leipzig is clearly the better team in the first 23 minutes and have already had two top-class chances. They should also have been awarded a penalty. It's a mystery what the video referee decided. Leipzig tackle the central defenders early on, which has already led to several big mistakes from Madrid.
That Leipzig's goal should have stood, VAR did not take enough time to analyze it. That is bad and will always keep making people say that the officials of the champions league are biased when Real Madrid is involved. Real Madrid have won the competition many times, maybe they do not want them out too early. Leipzig after their goal was cancelled should have tried to make use of the chances they had, but they were very wasteful, and they may regret not scoring because Real Madrid will be able to correct their mistakes and play well in the second half.

The game was so tough for Copenhagen, but seeing their energy made me have an interest in them, but they have already equalised with a goal, and they are putting more effort into their defence to make sure they safeguard their keeper. But seeing their opponent, I won’t say the game will be a simple but interesting game to watch and see the winner, but my hope and win is no Manchester City because they have more experience than Copenhagen, and as they say, experience is the best teacher, so Copenhagen winning this game will be a very great luck. 

We anticipate the end of the match, but may be Manchester City will bring another form of strike to Copenhagen since they are also trying to show they are capable, so maybe we are going to see a different game in the second half, but Copenhagen are receiving a hot game presently.

Today, there is UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches first leg. In my opinion, the favorite teams are Manchester City and Real Madrid. I feel like we will watch very enjoyable matches.

Manchester City's starting XI against Copenhagen: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo, Haaland, Grealish. Copenhagen's starting XI against Manchester City : Grabara, Diks, Vavro, Claesson, Mattsson, Diogo, El Younoussi, Jelert, McKenna, Achouri, Falk.

RB Leipzig's starting XI against Real Madrid: Gulacsi, Simakan, Orban, Olmo, Klostermann, Openda, Xavi, Raum, Schlager, Sesko, Henrichs. Real Madrid's starting XI against RB Leipzig : Lunin, Carvajal, Tchouameni, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga, Rodyrgo, Brahim Diaz, Vini Jr.
Yes, the UCL resumes today and it’s been long awaited. The favorites still remain Manchester City and Real Madrid and this is because of how serious and committed the players in these clubs are. Manchester City who are de defending champions are looking so serious as we’ve got their players all fighting hard to bang the goals. In the match against Liepzig, I believe they’ll sure get the needed goals to qualify.

 Other teams will need to do more than a lot to be able to stop these two teams as they’re seriously on fire. Though we’ve got teams like Inter Milan who seem to try put and could pose a real upset to any of these teams but apart from these 3, I don’t see anyone coming close just yet. Maybe Bayern could try if they improve their performance but with the way they're going I doubt of they'll.
