I think PSG can still go through the journey in the last 16 against Real Sociedad, even though Real Sociedad is not an easy clubs for PSG, I think PSG will show their best performances, even though in the group stage PSG performance is still a little doubtful because PSG seemed to have difficulty in the round group but at least PSG can improved their performances as long as they still have a chances. In the first leg PSG will have more advantages playing at home and like PSG can beat Real Sociedad and in the second leg maybe PSG will only get a draw because they are playing away.

Well, if the prediction is correct regarding their match then PSG can advance to the quarter-final and we will wait for PSG next opponents. However, that is if PSG does not mess up this match or fails to qualify considering that this is not an easy match for PSG because Real Sociedad also played well in the Champions League in the group stage.

I'm also worried about the curse. No one doubts Kane as one of the best strikers in the world. But Kane has never tasted domestic and international titles except for a few minor championships as I remember. I don't know whether this is a curse or just bad luck but seeing Munich in the Bundesliga reminds me of when Tottenham competed with Leicester City for the Premier League championship. Munich, who are far more favorites to win, surprisingly have to try hard to compete with Leverkusen, who have performed extraordinary this season.

I mean their group is not difficult to begin with. Maybe Man United if you want to force it, but they don't play that well either. You can't really decide how far they will go based on their group performance alone. I believe you can also judge how they will perform in the Champions League based on how they perform in the Bundesliga since tactics and consistency will not change that drastically within a month or so. Not to mention the rumours related to Tuchel interest in coaching another team in the near future might also affect their overall momentum. But I do agree that they are still one of the favorites to go far in the champions league.

Bundesliga not difficult for Harry Kane adapted well and become top scorer in domestic league awhile by scoring 24 goals of 20 matches, in Champion League Harry Kane had well performed with 4 goals of 6 matches. For Champion League tittles I think difficult for Harry Kane although he has adapted and performed well with Bayern Munich but not easy because have Manchester City and Real Madrid are strong teams to be the Champion League winner. Bayern Munich seems not get difficult opponent on 16 of round against Copenhagen, I think Harry Kane will add his goals collected in Champion League to help Bayern Munich qualify to quarter final round.

---

Actually Harry Kane has personal mission by joining Bayern Munich in this season, he has target for winning tittles and Champion League or Bundesliga become his target for this season and close his professional career by winning trophy.

Harry Kane is still a goal machine for Bayern Munich, he is able to adapt well without any shortcomings as a new player in the Bayern Munich squad. His presence makes it easier for Bayern Munich in the hunt for the UCL trophy, Tuchel must take advantage of the advantages in his squad to win his first UCL trophy since managing Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich's performance is still very good even though in the Bundesliga they are not at the top of the standings, this team is still in the group of favorite teams this season, the sharpness of the front line and the solidarity of the back line players in protecting the defensive area will make it easier for Bayern Munich to win the trophy.

If comparing the squad, Man City has a superior squad than Bayern Munich, along with Guardiola's talented tactics, this is a big challenge for Tuchel and his team. I feel that when Tuchel was coach of Bayern Munich, he could not promote the strength of this team. Even in the Bundesliga, they could lose the throne to Leverkusen.
Everyone knows Harry Kane is a quality striker since Harry Kane moved to play for Bayern Munich from Tottenham. He integrated very quickly into the Bayern Munich team. Up to now, Harry Kane has scored 26 goals in all competitions. He continuously breaks records in the Bundesliga. But the curse of not winning a title may come to him when Bayern Munich fails to win any title this season.

With the arrival of harry kane bayern munchen is indeed stronger. harry kane is still showing high goal productivity just like when he was still playing at hotspur. currently harry kane is the bundesliga top score with 24 goals. and bayern munchen also remains strong in the champion league with no defeat in the group stage.
regarding the German league is not ranked 1. this is due to leverkusen's outstanding performance this season.

Indeed, moreover if we are considering each performance this season, real Madrid is stronger from Leipzig. Although it will be held in Leipzig at first, but Real Madrid mental has been controlled enough, so this should be any difficult challenges for hem. Although if we are seeing from its H2H of Real Madrid vs Leipzig, it is still the same:


But, we are talking recent chance in this season. Both will play full main team. This first match will really becomes a decisive match for this round 16. They have two legs that can be chances for every club. Whatever happened in the first leg will become evaluation o the next leg that will be more decisive.

Kylian Mbappe I believe would be long gone when. You look back to remember some his heroic displays. Come next season, he'll no longer be a part of that squad.
These above names mentioned are world class I'm sure but they don't havee what it takes to win PSG the competition.

Paris Saint Germans will prepare and wait for the game against Real Sociedad. It's such a good game to see how ready and Parisians against the La Liga Competition.
Parisians will take a lot to see them win this Competition.

UEFA Champions League have become the main challenge for PSG, they can be doing excellently brilliant in their domestic league but always failed to express the exact stellar performance in Ligue One to UCL, instead we will be watching a different PSG. The future of the club are in the hands of Luis Enrique and the president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. These are the main persons that comes together to mapped out the necessary targets for the club to achieve this season. PSG qualify for the UEFA Champions round of 16 giving them another opportunity to reach important phase this season. PSG have outstanding players this season, with the current line-up, I think they will become more promising and executable in their plans.

Well PSG might be performing below expectations in the UCL tournament, but if you compare both teams you'll see that they got a more better and expensive club filled with quality players other than Mbappé, they've got a squad capable of being victorious against Sociedad that's not even among the best in their league and barely win trophies. Moreover PSG got a coach that's got experience in the Laliga and should be able to figure out how to beat Sociedad easily.

 Well-motivated doubt Sociedad have been in a good performance from they group stage, they might be the mediocre team among both but they shouldn't be estimated cause we've seen them perform very brilliant against bigger teams in other stages of the tournament and if PSG doesn't not step up their UCL performance we could see that repeat again cause Real Sociedad are not a club to be underestimated.

Yes Inter Milan are one of the teams performing well this season, in the domestic league they now lead the points table with only 1 defeat and 3 draws from the 22 matches they have played. Not only that, they can also win big matches there, one of which is their victory when meeting Juventus recently. With that, they deserve to be a team to be reckoned with in this Champions League, along with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
But to be able to realize all that, their journey is still very long, they must first get rid of the opponents they will face, one of which is Atletico Madrid who they will face in the round of 16.
Last season they managed to be in the final which I think their performance last season was not as good as their performance this season. If based on that, obviously I would prefer to say this season they are more worthy of being in the final. But the problem is that other teams are also improving now.

I agree that Inter Milan also can be considered as the favorite team to reach the final round. However, it won't be easy to qualify for the next round because Inter Milan will play against Atletico Madrid. Although Inter Milan performed very well in Serie A, they can't underestimate Atletico Madrid because this team very often surprises us. They even ever reached the final of UCL with Real Madrid. So, it is not impossible if Atletico can beat Inter in the current round.

Sometimes the performance in domestic league won't impact very much on the UCL matches. That's why Inter Milan can't underestimate Atlletico Madrid although they are very struggling in La Liga for this season.

After having Harry Kane, Bayern Munich looks stronger. I can understand if Tuchel really wants to win UCL trophy. But he must be aware that there are some big teams in UCL that also have ambitious coaches. Man City is also trying to win UCL in a row, they want to make e another record in UCL. Guardiola is the coach that very capable to achieve the dream. Moreover, Man City will play with full teams again after the injured players have recovered.

If you can even refer to these two teams, even though PSG only has Mbappe as a big star in their squad. Likewise based on betting exchanges. If referring to Asian Handicap Betting, the odds for this match are with a margin of 0:1. that means, those who bet on PSG must score at least 2 goals against Real Sociedad. although in reality, handicap odds also have several options according to our courage and desires. in Ligue 1, Paris Sain-Germain is the top of the group having scored 48 goals. even though in the group phase in the Champions League, the performance of Luis Enrique's team looked very unstable. but now PSG is starting to experience many developments, especially the pattern that Luis Enrique uses. so it's natural that PSG is superior, especially in the first leg which will be played at the Parc des Princess.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad performed brilliantly in the Champions League group phase with perfect results. however, this time, their opponents were a little more difficult than their opponents in the group phase. In La Liga, Real Sociedad's performance is quite good and is ranked 6th, but that alone is not enough to overthrow Paris Saint-Germain. moreover, based on the odds betting exchange for these two teams, there is quite a big difference..PSG with odds @ 1.63, while Sociedad with @ 5.40. Well, it's natural that PSG is more favored than Real Socidedad in this Champions League round of 16 meeting.

It won’t be so surprising if PSG make it up to the semi-final, but it will be very hard for them to go to the final stage. PSG will go a long way in the round of 16 because of the performance, and I am very sure mbappe will try his possible best to see if he can make PSG win this year's trophy, which will be somehow hard for him to do, but we can't still conclude there is still time to wait and watch the game.

Although PSG's next game against Real Sociedad will be a simple prediction because no one will think that Real Sociedad will win PSG because Real Sociedad's performance is not yet up to that standard to win PSG in the present of Mbappe, I will proudly say that definitely PSG will win the game and knock Real Sociedad out, although they have already tried their possible best to make it to the last round of 16. That is also an achievement, but thinking or imagining to see Real Sociedad in the quarterfinal will be such an impossible event. PSG won’t even let that happen; if not, it will be a big slap on PSG's face if they let Real Sociedad win that game.

It is of course obvious that PSG is better and they will win this matchup, however what the trouble seems to be for PSG is not these teams, they are capable of winning, it's a bit tougher teams.

I mean we have seen them have hard time with Dortmund, Milan and Newcastle group, if they are having trouble with that group, then maybe it would not be possible for them to beat teams like City or Real Madrid or Bayern. That is the level they want to reach to, and that is the level they fail. Mind you, PSG did not finish the group first, Dortmund did, so PSG was second in their group, a team that was second in THAT group, can't really be opponents for the big three, hence that is where they are going to fail when they meet one of them.

The Champions League is not a tournament for newcomers and that's what we always heard about this tournament from people that's why we expect to see Real Madrid easily win this match because even though Real Madrid is the team we can say they are the first hope for the title of the this seasoning the Champions league even more than other teams like Macnshter City or Bayer Munich that's why I think it totally worth to bet on this team against Leipzig.

PSG still need to improve themselves a lot more to be competitive for the Champions League title.    They couldn't win it even while they had amazing players such as Messi and Neymar beside Mbappe on the pitch. Neymar was very injury-prone though. But I think their squad was still more powerful back then.

Now they have brought really young players for the attacking line such as Ramos, Kolo Muani and so on. The new version of the squad need more time to do better things than winning a Ligue 1 championship. But would we still see Mbappe in the squad? It is doubtful for now.

Basically PSG has better quality compared to Real Sociedad and therefore, whatever the situation is then of course PSG will still have a better chance of qualifying for the quarter finals compared to Real Sociedad . Although for example, Real Sociedad is in a good position and good trend in La Liga, and for example Real Sociedad is in the top four with good points in La Liga standing but still, comparing it with PSG still produces better results for PSG . Therefore, I personally will not doubt the quality that PSG has in this round of 16 against Real Sociedad because ya, of course PSG will maximize this good chance to be able to qualify for the quarter finals with beating Real Sociedad.

Getting to the Round of 16 of the UCL is a big achievement and we must commend clubs who attained this feat. Yes Liepzig and Copenhagen both have attained these feats and now having difficult fixture in this round. Well Real Madrid will nor be so worried with Liepzig as I can fully bank on Real to be able to eliminate Liepzig in this stage of the competition. Yea, Real have a more better and fierce squad that’ll be able to compete.

 ÞManchester City too would be able to take on Copenhagen in both legs and I’m confident of this. These 2 clubs are what most football fans look up to see them in the final as they’re the only teams that are determined and play with all vigor, however I think  Manchester City are going to come out victorious in that game cause they're more better than Copenhagen in terms of Squad depth and form.
