Kylian Mbappe have been phenomenal and absolutely impressive for the Paris Saint Germaine team since he signed for the club in 2017 but series of reports have it that the French national team captain is going to leave to club at the end of the season and for a club like Paris Saint Germaine, I think this season is their last chance of making history by winning the UEFA Champions League with Kylian Mbappe.
I know that the other big European teams in the UEFA Champions League this season are more of the bookmakers favorite to win the UEFA Champions League competition but if Paris Saint Germaine with their current squad can put out their best in the competition, I think they can end the season with club football's most prestigious trophy.

It's very far to talk about Paris Saint Germain winning the Champions League this season, I'm just realistic when I see their performance which is still below other clubs such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and others.
But to be in the last 8, their chances are still very wide open, they will face Real Sociedad, which in terms of level maybe I will consider them to be in the same condition and not much different, yes with Paris Saint Germain being above Real Sociedad. But with a difference that is not too far away, that makes Real Sociedad also still have a fairly open opportunity to get rid of Paris Saint Germain.
Mbappe may be the one that stands out in the Paris Siant Germain squad, so I think Real Sociedad must turn off his movement, if he manages to turn off his movement, then I think their chances will be much more wide open.

I can't agree with you. I think that any yaer will always become PSG's era and why? it's caused by this club is the only club that has more than 1 billion valuation. Let's compare it with other club in the french league and there was no club who had same valuation like PSG. That being said that if PSG has been trying so hard to use its money to dominate the club.
We have seen that the best example from this case was bayern munich. Bayern was consistently dominating the league for more than 1 decade and it has the highest valuation in the league. So, psg's era will always still continue as long as there will be no other club who will able to have same valuation like PSG.
Im concerning this as the main reason to call PSG will always be dominating the competition.This means that if club will always be dominating everything in the league.

I was hoping to see the low valuation club like nice and monaco to compete with PSG but my hope was still far from coming true. This means that if PSG is the strongest team in the squad right now. Im saying based on the fact that happened in the french league if PSG is the best one.
There will be no a competitive league until there will be a club to be bought by the billionaire like what happened to the EPL when many billionaires were competing each other for the EPL trophy.

We have often discussed money and star players who are always attached to PSG's image and as we know they have started to improve little by little since last season. Now there is only the name Kylian Mbappe who is the star player at PSG and the rest are only filled with players with the same quality. Their chances of winning against Real Sociedad are still high and I cannot avoid the fact that PSG will still be able to win as long as Kylian Mbappe is not injured.

We know that Kylian Mbappe's role in the squad is very important and if he is absent, PSG will definitely be at a huge disadvantage and may have difficulty winning. Even though there are several names that can lift the team's confidence, they will not be as good as Kylian Mbappe who can give PSG a definite victory. Real Sociedad must be wary of Kylian Mbappe's movements, which are very difficult for any defender to stop.

I think that how competitive PSG in the french league will not affect the performance from the club in the UCL. PSG doesn't have messi and neymar. The club was not as strong as when la pulga was there and so i think that PSG will have small chance to win UCL this season. It's caused by real madrid and bayern munich have been coming back with better form right now. I think that PSG's chance will be very small. This is also the last season of mbappe to play in UCL with PSG caused by he will be leaving from the club soon. PSG has been trying many times to get into the final of UCL but it was alwasy failed.
I remind you that how french league was not as competitive as other league like serie a or even premier league. It's meaningless to take french league as a measurement to determine how strong PSG is rght now.
People can hope this team to win UCL but i personally is still feeling doubt about the performance from PSG in UCL. It has not yet faced the strongest club like munich or real madrid. intermilan is also very strong caused by it's very balanced team in serie a.
It's also still leading the competition in italy as well. The chance for PSG to get UCL is very small compared to those clubs who were being favored to be the winner of UCL this season.

I think Real Sociedad this season is not that strong, unlike last season so this is a little advantageous for PSG and the percentage of PSG being able to beat Real Sociedad is very large in the round of 16.
However, if we look at PSG's performance this season, I think it is appropriate that many parties doubt that they will win the title because we can reflect on what happened in Ligeu 1 which meant that PSG's performance did not improve significantly and that was a bit detrimental for the team.

The PSG team was built in the wrong way, they think money is everything and it has been proven that even though PSG brought in many star players, they were unable to make achievements on the UCL stage.

PSG can show their arrogance in Ligue 1 because there are no opponents who are comparable to them, but, that's not the case with the Champions League, currently PSG is in the last 16 and it's their luck to be able to qualify for the last 16, I think PSG journey in the champions league it won't be as easy as Ligue 1, although they are a rich club and have lots of star players, but I am quite sure that they will have difficulty facing Real Sociedad, Sociedad is one of the representatives of the Spanish league and the competitive competition in the league makes them quite honed in facing the team is a big team so far, maybe in terms of quality of course PSG is a few stripes above Sociedad but of course that doesn't make PSG better at the moment in the Champions League.

I don't think that will happen, PSG this season is not much better than the previous season so I think it is appropriate that they will not advance further in the Champions League competition this season.
We can see PSG's overall performance in domestic competitions and they didn't show an impressive performance so I think this will also happen in UCL matches.
Maybe in the round of 16, PSG will have a slight advantage because they have weakly trained opponents so they have a high percentage of getting through.

Personally, winning and moving to the next round against Real Sociedad is a hundred percent sure one. I'm certain Paris Saint Germans would be the club qualifying for the next round of the Champions League. I'm looking up to Luis Enrique who has seen past this round beg and had also faced this side. He has upper hand when deciding who wins and loses.

Oh Shiit! Having a squad that has Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar Junior yet couldn't win the Champions League is pure fuckery.
I can remember that squad relied too much on the creativity is f these trio which affected them, they can't be doing all that. Luis Enrique would definitely give his very best. He has experience.

Undoubtedly, the current squad of Paris Saint Germaine isn't the best they've had in the last five years. When Lionel Messi joined the club, Paris Saint Germaine arguably had best forward line in world football then but never did the presence of the four times winner inspire them to at least reach the semi final of the competition and that's why a lot of people have already written them off from the list of favorite teams that will win the UEFA Champions League title this season.
Neymar and Lionel Messi aren't in the PSG squad again but I think they still have a team who are capable of winning the UEFA Champions League competition this season and the fact that they're been managed by a former winner of the competition makes it very possible for them to surprise everyone and reach the final of the competition.

No doubt about these both teams which are having impressive run and their quality and consistency is also at the top into their leagues and group matches as well which are going to make things interesting into this game even with the record and performance level I am going to favour Inter Milan because they are having much better offensive and their defense is also amazing which is helping them for keeping things at the top in both leagues.

For the first game which is going to play at San Siro is going to be more important for the both teams because if we have good difference of goals for the Inter Milan then surely they can go through easily but if Atlético Madrid able to handle them with their defense and not allowed to have good chances then we will have more tense match at the Madrid because with this both teams will be give their best for having full power to win and having spot into last eight without any doubt winner of this match is going to have good chance for the jumping into round of 4 with this is one of the most tense matches in this round.

No matter how ideal it is when Messi and Neymar are still there, it is still not a guarantee if you are in the UCL. Because it wasn't enough to be filled with mega star players, especially when stability was only in the attack line, while PSG midfield at that time was not very promising. UCL is not about mega star players anymore, but to be able to survive you need to have a strong mentality in motivating yourself and the ingenuity of a coach when setting strategies.

PSG must realize that Real Sociedad is not an easy team to beat. They are representatives of Spain whose existence needs to be watched out for at UCL. Even though they are not the top team, the mentality of Real Sociedad players will make PSG's game difficult. I think PSG and Real Sociedad have the same chance of winning this match, but with a narrow score.

especially if Mbappe really leaves PSG next season. it may become increasingly difficult for PSG to compete in the Champions League.
PSG's performance is doubtful, they dominate in the domestic league but when competing in the Champions League they can't do much. even last season with Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe which made PSG very strong on the front lines. they are still having difficulty in the Champions League.
we won't see PSG in the semi-finals.

I think you are not well aware about this all with now Manchester City all players are back from injury list, and they participated into last league game against Burnley which they won by 3–1 even Haaland also participate in this game and play for the 20 minutes which is good development for them now they have less than 2 weeks time for their game against Copenhagen and this is going to be interesting for their fans as well because most chances they will be back in business like they have done in last season Premier League title race is also heated up and top three teams are going to be stayed close until end of this season which will make things at the another level.

Currently, we have three teams hot favourite for the title of Champions League, but any prediction is not easy because we have no good clue about these can go against each other in next round as well which can be fascinating for the better prediction we have to wait until round of the 8.

Even with such a strong roster, they didnt win the UCL, which makes one question their chances. The fact that they nearly lost to AC Milan in the group stage this season doesnt inspire confidence. I was surprised and disappointed when PSG lost 4-1 against Newcastle, who were playing poorly. This just makes me doubt they'll advance in the UCL.

Honestly, PSG's future looks bleak. If they beat Real Sociedad, which is unlikely given Sociedad's form, the quarterfinals are important. I think Mbappe's brilliance might not be enough to win. Although its harsh, their performance thus far makes reaching the semi-finals unlikely. Both you and I know how important team chemistry is, but PSG has been lacking it lately.

In this match between Inter Milan at the San Siro, I think Athletico will need to go to that match with a careful mindset and see themselves as the underdog. Inter Milan are very balanced and can take on this Athletico side if they see the opportunity and that’s where it’ll be a mistake. They’re both balanced team but I think Inter has the upper hands no matter the strategy Athletico might feel safe to use. This will be one keenly contested match in the Round of 16 and it’ll be one hard game to bet on .

 I think Athletico coming to defend in the first leg will be a boost for them into the second as it’ll boost their confidence and morale to go all out and fight for it at their home in the return leg. If Athletico comes out to play offensively then I think they might get hurt as they’ll conced crazy amount of goals and will already lose the hope of qualifying before the second leg.

It's true that the match against Inter was their most difficult match so far. They have to compete in Italy with a different atmosphere. There will be a lot of pressure from Inter Milan fans. Atletico Madrid is quite strong in the League but Inter Milan is also the league champion if you look at their current points. They also have a strong defense that will be able to withstand Atletico's aggressive attacks. Atletico must be able to appear consistent and keep from conceding more than 2 goals. It would be great if they could steal points from the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

When PSG had the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, their only mistake was not playing with team cohesion, in fact more and more star players were being selfish. This season's PSG squad can be said to be good because it has the attacking trio of Lw Mbappe, St Rmos and Rw Dembele. Indeed, in the group phase, PSG was helped by the difference in points. In fact, PSG is not afraid of any team in Europe, it's just that PSG often makes mistakes that are detrimental to themselves. They did this against Newcastle and Dortmund in the group phase.

In the first leg of the round of 16, PSG must not make similar mistakes that cost them points, especially as PSG has a history of obstructing UCL matches. Besides, Real Sociedad will beat PSG if they don't take it seriously. So if PSG wants to qualify from the round of 16, PSG needs good results at home to have a chance. Because, Real Sociedad will usually easily win the second leg at home.

Yes, you are right, it all depends on who PSG opponent is in the quarter-finals because in that round it will determine whether they can qualify for the semi-finals because if they get stronger opponents like the club you mentioned, it is possible that PSG will not be able to have a chance to qualify for the next rounds.
All of us here can only speculate freely and I just want to see PSG get an equal opponent, for example Napoli or Barcelona so that PSG can advance to the semi-finals.
But I'm not sure if PSG is able to qualify for the semi-finals, whether this club will be able to qualify again because Real Madrid and Manchester City have already been confirmed to qualify for the semi-finals, so at least PSG will meet a stronger club and fail to continue the match final.

Everything I say is just a temporary prediction and we all know that football always gives surprises and we don't know what surprises will be in the next match I definitely still want to see Manchester City become title holders again.

Paris Saint Germain stand out this season to become very competitive for the league title but I think its going to be tougher for them because there's presence of other tough clubs in the league. The estimated period for PSG to win the UEFA Champions League title have been long overdue because the necessary players, Leo Messi, Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe was the frontline for the team's success but it turns out they couldn't because alot of challenges restrain them from competing in elite competitions title race, they easily gets eliminated from the UCL.
