Yeah, obviously, bro Real Madrid will try to struggle for La Liga as well as the Champions League. Real Madrid have quite a good performance in La Liga competition. They got 58 points and have a 1st place in the league table, despite the fact that in the Champions League competition they are a little bit lacking in the defense because, if we look at the previous match of real Madrid in the Champions League, they just want to win the game I mean, only focusing on the goal, not on the defending. Because in previous match, they did the striker more like score a goal but didn't have to hold on by defense. So I mean to say that Real Madrid are looking to do their best, but if in the Champions League they didn't seek any solutions for defense, maybe be this will be bad for them.

Yes, you are right, or in other words, PSG is still too early to win the Champions League.
I don't think relying solely on Mbappe is as easy as winning the League 1 title.
The Champions League requires a club that has very strong players without relying on just 1 player and until now PSG is still doing this and it is impossible to get a trophy in the Champions League.

This champions league match is actually a very heavy pressure for Enrique because he has to have various methods to be able to provide good performance for PSG, whereas PSG often relies on just one player and in the champions league this is a very difficult competition, unlike in league 1 even though in the league Domestically PSG can achieve success but in the champions league PSG will not easily do the same because the whole club will perform as well as possible.
So Enrique will work very hard in the Champions League match and in my opinion it will be very impossible to get a trophy in the Champions League.

They are not just in the competition, they are prime candidates to win and looking at their squads and the state of the PSG team in general, they are clearly not a competitor. I don't know how far PSG will go in this tournament, but I think they have little chance of winning the Champions League.

This is a completely unfair comparison as this was a group stage where Real Madrid had won three games in a row (including against Leipzig) in the first three games, guaranteeing progress to the next stage. And only after that they began to lose points in games that were no longer important to them.
I'm not saying that it's easy to win against Leipzig, but the group stage games and the playoff stage games are completely different things that cannot be compared.

I obviously don't know what the big blabbing is about because it's too obvious and certain that Leipzig is no match for the attacking powers of real Madrid, I mean this team is filled with a lot of energy and these young men are utmost at their prime and I think it would be one of the football wonders if Leipzig would find a way to remove Real Madrid in the champions league round of 16.

Apart from that, we also remember Real Madrid's experience in the Champions League, which is currently still being coached by Ancelotti, so it could make it difficult for RB Leipzig to win in the last 16 of the Champions League. Because now everyone has seen how Real Madrid's condition is getting better and also often getting good results in important matches this season. So it wouldn't be wrong if in that match Real Madrid was more favored than RB Leipzig who came from the German League.

Real Madrid is focusing on both competitions because they still have hope to win the La Liga and the Champions League, so they will continue to perform well until the end of the competition, I don't think Leipzig will give real madrid a tough time this time around because when madrid play with Leipzig play with real madrid in the group stage last is Nkunku that pressure Madrid that time and is no longer in the club, so I didn't see any key player in the cub that can give real madrid defenders difficulty in the game, now Real Madrid are focusing on there weekend game with Girona so madrid are not talking about the Champions league now. they need to finish with Girona before talking about other competitions because they need to win Girona so that they can continue topping the laliga league.


I think so too, PSG will qualify to the quarter-finals of the Champions League because psg are in better shape than Real Sociedad in the league, PSG will do their best to defeat Real Sociedad in the Princes Park, and they should lead Sociedad before they come to Spain, in the first time I believe Sociedad will defeat psg when they play the match, but now I believe psg will definitely win the match because they have improved enough mbappe will try and win the Champions League for psg before he leave the club, but he will just be very difficult since Manchester City and Real Madrid are still in the competition.

The thing I love about the Champions League is that it never goes as planned. There are always things to surprise people.  In the Champions League, I can't comfortably say who would win what and who would be in the final. I can only point out the favorites and pick teams I feel will advance based on my bias.
Just because a team is in form doesn't mean they'll be in the final.

Madrid is clearly the favorite to win against Leipzig and they but saying they will get to the final is reaching. Madrid is not as consistent as they used to be in other seasons, but we know how they can be in the Champions League. They still have to go past the round of 16 before we can talk about advancing past the other stages.

Some how I doubt Leipzig getting to the finals, it's very fine and understandable if they will be able to get pass the round of sixteen because Leipzig isn't a weak team and their champions league performance so far has really been quite fair enough and not such that can be ruled out just almost immediately so it still possible to pass that stage.

In the round of sixteen Leipzig will be facing Real Madrid in their first home games and currently Madrid is in a very good and close to perfect form with all their players present and in good shape with out injury it's really going to be a hard one for Leipzig indeed except they will be lucky to win at home and get a draw away which is appearing almost impossible going by what I think it's applicable because in the history of these two teams meeting, only a few times have Leipzig gotten a win or draw the rest times Real Madrid has won almost all of them so maybe history may repeat in this game.

For PSG I can say I don't think this round is the end of the road for them. Real Sociedad have been an impressive team and they would be likely to make big difficulties for PSG in Spain as well. But I think it would happen only in Spain not France as well.    Because you must have all seen the way PSG play their home games in the Champions League.

The first game of the matchup is also in France by the way which means PSG will focus on finishing the job here already. If they don't do it and surprise people then it would be a serious psychological advantage for Real Sociedad to benefit from. But I don't think PSG will mess it up.

No matter how great PSG is in League 1, when they enter UCL Nasser Al Khelaifi's expectations will be faced with a difficult situation. Because PSG is starting a journey that is not as difficult as other European clubs. It's no wonder why the UCL will remain a mystery for PSG, yes you could say they are the most instant club in Europe. Recruited star players but was unable to win the UCL trophy. A big question mark is that here money is not a guarantee to be in the UCL circle, PSG needs to go through a long and bitter process in order to have its existence. For this season alone, maybe in the UCL for Enrique's troops it will not be much different from failing again, because the clubs they will face are much better prepared for mental matters of competition.

PSG is still quite far from winning the champions league, especially since everything depends on Kylian Mbappe and every team on the list of champion candidates always fills the depth of their squad evenly and is not just dominated by one person. PSG is still the same as before in this competition and at least the quarter finals are the highest place they can reach each season.

It is very difficult for a team like PSG to beat the dominance of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and even Inter, who we know can always reach the higher stages and get close to the final with their current squad. Maybe if PSG can fully learn from some of these teams to build a squad from scratch then everything can run smoothly and not just be great in the domestic league.

It is true that Real Madrid's current performance looks very good, they are not only focused on La Liga but also focused on the Champions League. In my opinion, in this match, Leipzig will definitely have great difficulty facing Real Madrid's attacks, because I am sure that Real Madrid will definitely play very aggressively to win this match with very satisfying results. Maybe Leipzig should really focus on its defense so that it is not easily penetrated if there is an attack from Real Madrid, because then Real Madrid will not easily penetrate Leipzig's defense so that they don't concede many goals in this match.

That is the problem that has not been resolved until now because indeed when looking at the players owned in the last few seasons, the quality of the players they have is actually very good and well organized and can even be said to be a luxurious squad but the problem of players and management staff from PSG itself is sometimes unable to make some real breakthroughs.

The coaches they always bring in always seem to be ordinary for a luxurious squad that makes this not experience great progress in terms of performance.
Now Enrique with his experience is expected to be able to make a difference in this regard but it is also not a guarantee because after all looking at what is happening now and the track record he has during his coaching career it also tends to be ordinary even though he has been in a very good Barcelona condition but that is only helped by the quality of players but in terms of coaching Enrique is actually still below other big coaches.

Interesting stats for these clubs... In 2022 Leipzig managed to beat Madrid in a home game, although the difference was only one goal, but nevertheless Leipzig managed to score three goals... I also think that Real will be able to play in the final again this season, but Leipzig played well in the group stage and even managed to score two goals in the away game against City...

Any coach can say anything about this trophy, but the team that will lift this trophy can be know through their performance in this tournament and other tournament which we have seen team like Inter Milan, Manchester city which I know those two teams are in high moral to lift the UEFA champions league trophy this season.

If you think that PSG will win this UEFA champions league trophy this season, I will disagree with you because their performance in this season will not allow them to lift the trophy because, they struggle to get to this stage they are now in the competition.

The draw achieved by Real Madrid in the match against Atletico Madrid does not seem to indicate that there are weaknesses in Real Madrid that can be exploited by Leipzig especially in the first match because in the second match, Leipzig will have more difficulty facing Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu and this season Real Madrid has not defeated at home.
Leipzig must maximize the first meeting by winning it and scoring more than one goal so that it will provide more motivation and stronger pressure on Real Madrid in the second match, but if Leipzig's first match only manages to draw then it is certain that Real Madrid will advance to the next round in the champion league, and in fact, with Real Madrid facing Leipzig, it has proven that the favorite is Real Madrid because a strong team will have quite an easy match in the early knockout rounds so the chances of the final are a strong team unless there are surprises, and I quite doubt that Leipzig will be one of the teams that succeeds in causing a surprise in the future.

Leipzig had the misfortune of having to face Real Madrid who are the holders of the most Champions League trophies and with their good performances as well. But even so that does not mean Leipzig is without a chance, they still have a chance, it's just that their chances are quite small to get rid of Real Madrid in this round.
But before the 2 leg match takes place, everything cannot be predicted with certainty, because Real Madrid could be unlucky enough and have to play badly or Leipzig is very lucky to be able to force Real Madrid to admit defeat over them, we'll see until the match later.

yeah. Leipzig seem weaker this season; they are not doing the same thing they did last season in the Bundesliga; they are doing much better, and we all know that the Champions League is even tougher than the Bundesliga, so since they are struggling to meet up there, you can see that there is no way we are going to think of them defeating Real Madrid because Real Madrid are better than Leipzig in everything, both in attacking and defensive games. With these, I think we should stop putting Leipzig among the clubs that are going to surprise us in the UCL this season.

However, Leipzig will not be a challenge for Real Madrid, obviously, and you are right in saying that Real Madrid's attacking position is very strong, so you can see that they won't be able to beat Real Madrid. The fact that Real Madrid have also joined the UCL race will make them stronger to beat any team that comes their way, so let's wait and see how it is going to be.

The most difficult task for a club manager is to win the UCL, and even in the Spanish league, Real Madrid was not at its best last year. Perhaps it is in a superior position this year, but I consider Bayern Munich the hardest rival for Manchester City. Real Madrid can advance to the semifinals however in this leg 1 match with Leipzig, anything can happen even a draw.

It is only a week from today and we can at last witness the beginning of the knockout rounds. Four clubs are participating from La Liga this time, with only two from the EPL and three each from the Italian Serie and Bundesliga.
