PSG has a better chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals than Real Sociedad. I'm not underestimating Sociedad, but based on the depth of the squad between the two teams, I think PSG is better prepared to win the match and qualify for the quarter-finals. Real Sociedad's performance this season is very good, but I somehow believe that Real Sociedad's journey in the Champions League this season will only reach the round of 16 after being drawn to PSG as their opponent.

To be honest, I don't really care who will qualify from the match, but based on the data and several considerations, I support PSG to qualify for the next round. They have quality in their players, they also have good experience in the Champions League from their coach.

Real Sociedad is just a middle team in La Liga. They shouldn't be as strong as PSG, their squad depth is surely not very convincingly. PSG has better players in all lines, in theory PSG must win the match.

However, Real Sociedad performed quite well in UCL this season. They never got a lose in the matches of UCL group stage. They even leads the group D, it is impressive to see their achievement in UCL this season. This is something PSG will have to be wary of, they mustn't underestimate Real Sociedad because they played well in UCL.

I also don't care which team to qualify, both are good teams. But PSG should have a better experience in UCL.

But all of this really only serve as weak indicators of which team is better than the other and would hence go to the next round. We have seen plenty of surprises over all those last few months in all competitions. In the Cups, in the UEFA competitions, in FIFA competitions, in domestic leagues. I could mention plenty of great examples where the current position in the table meant nothing for the outcome of the game.

That's why the second part of what you said is important. Real Sociedad had by far the best defense in the Champions League and this is impressive. I think this game will be highly interesting and since I like Mbappe, I would wish for him to make it into the next round.

I'm not much positive about Barcelona's chance to eliminate Napoli honestly. Because their game is just not good enough. I believe that they haven't faced a real challenge yet. Porto were the second strongest team in the group but Barcelona won against them twice anyway. But I think Napoli are a bigger challenge than Porto for them.

Napoli have a stronger squad in the first place. They have a very dangerous player like Osimhen in their offense line. They are just trying to improve their form lately. But until this matchup I think Napoli will be in a better shape than now. If Barcelona don't make improvement at the same time then they can really say goodbye to the CL early.

But I think Barcelona was lucky during this season of the Champions League because we know they are not in their best form and this Barcelona we currently see can definitely lose games easily against other teams. While Barcelona is also not in the form to face with stronger teams, however Napoli has players like Osimhen as you just said and since Barcelona's defenders are weak this can be dangerous.

Although Real Madrid's attacking players have been inconsistent in their performances, Bellingham's excellent performances have led Real Madrid to great results in the Champions League. Bellingham has 4 goals and 3 assists in 5 games. If Bellingham can play well against Leipzig, Madrid will have more chances to win. But it is very difficult to beat a strong team like Leipzig depending on Bellingham's performance alone. I am just looking forward to see a competitive match. I will refrain myself from betting on this match.

It cannot be denied that Bellingham is a player who is able to make a difference in the game and final results in several Real Madrid matches this season, including the Champions League match. Ancelotti relies heavily on Bellingham and asks him to score goals, but what happens if Bellingham ends up suffering a serious injury?

On the one hand, Leipzig is not a strong opponent in the Champions League as admitted by some Real Madrid fans. However, Real Madrid cannot underestimate Leipzig in the knockout rounds because if they make the slightest mistake, Real Madrid will have to fight hard at home. Leipzig is good, but I personally don't think Leipzig will thwart Real Madrid's run in the Champions League this season.

I don't think it is as if Ancelotti were to ask Bellingham to score goals. I think it is more that out of a sudden Bellingham assumed that responsibility in a way nobody expected it. And when he repeatedly scored against all expectations for the 10th time, for the 15th time, everyone understood they can rely on him, which is what he is there for now. An injury would indeed change a lot of things within the team.

Real Madrid is in a great position as they first play in Leipzig. That is the game where they have to make sure to not get caught by surprise. If they can handle the pressure that I expect from Leipzig, I think Real Madrid is a huge favorite here with the second leg being their home game.

Madrid lacks a proper goalscorer right now. Yes they have gotten themselves some good players but is their primary role to score goals? I don't think so. So I think Madrid should have gotten themselves a proper goalscorer according to their standards so that they can stay competitive in games. Right now they are not at all much competitive. They rely on players who aren't a striker or a proper forward. Leipzig and Madrid's game is gonna be a good one to watch as both are tough teams and right now they are level in terms of form to be honest. My money would be on Real Madrid as when it comes to CL games they always have been the winning team most of the times despite the odds.

Although Real Madrid's attacking players have been inconsistent in their performances, Bellingham's excellent performances have led Real Madrid to great results in the Champions League.

I don't think Leipzig can compete with Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League because they are not in good shape like Madrid, and you know Real Madrid has experienced players in the team and a talented coach Ancelotti, and I am very sure Real Madrid will not surfer against Leipzig in the competition because last season Real Madrid played in the same group as Leipzig and defeated and topped the group table, and I still believe Real Madrid will win them and qualify. Only Bayern Munich and Manchester City that can try and defeat real madrid if they join them in the round 8 in the Champions League, because is only them that have many experience players that can compete with Real Madrid.

Due to this, their La Liga performance has suffered. The team's fluctuating outcomes reflect its divided energy and resources. Do they sacrifice domestic performance for European glory?

They should balance, in my opinion. Barcelona must meet high standards due to its La Liga and Champions League heritage. Managing these competitions is difficult, but a top club can do it. Strategy and prioritisation are needed, but they have the skill.

I don't think so, but indeed their performance is not so good this season with all the problems they have and that does not happen in the La Liga match alone, if we pay close attention to the actual performance of Barcelona in the UCL match is also not so good it's just that they are a little lucky Join the team that is not so strong in the group phase.

The balance will definitely be carried out by a team if they have good strength and performance in the team but with Barcelona's condition like now, they are almost impossible to be able to do that, this is purely a decline in performance from them not because of priority.

I understand your criticism of Barcelona's performance. It has been kind of a rollercoaster, to be honest. Although they may not be as strong as they formerly were, I wouldn't write them off just yet. They haven't had a great UCL run, but luck isn't everything. Do you recall a few years ago when Chelsea won the Champions League? Nor were they the favourites. It all comes down to grasping oportunities. When Barcelona plays Napoli in the knockout stage, well, that's a break. It's an even playing field because neither team is precisely playing at their best. Barcelona has a good chance if they strenthen their defence. But let's face it, this will be a difficult game if their defence plays poorly. It all depends on how they perform that day.

The first match could be decisive. An effective score in the first match could open the door to the tour for Napoli. Because Barcelona is far from its old performance. They can also be defeated at the Nou Camp. If there is great support in Italy, Napoli can beat them. If he maintains his advantage in Spain, he will pass the tour. This is a matchup to be careful about for Barcelona.

Real Madrid's forward line has not been at a good level and that's because they don't have a reliable striker. Honestly, every time I watch a Real Madrid game I worry when they find a stalemate in the attack they build and in some games it happens. Jude Bellingham has been the diference and we can't rely on him in every game because he's not a pure target man, he just fills in the gaps.
If Leipzig can make it dificult for Real Madrid to penetrate their defense, then it is not impossible that Leipzig will be able to beat Real Madrid and even eliminate them in the round of 16.

I do not doubt Carlo Anceloti's greatness in compiling the Starting Eleven during the match even though they currently still lack a striker who has a strong character, and must be realistic in seeing the potential of his players who can be placed in any position, which is very clear about Carlo's success in placing Jude as a scorer. goal when the attacker is deadlocked.

What Ancelotti has done has already been done by other coaches, what is different is the approach that needs to be taken so that players can appear solid and consistent. There is no need to doubt the mentality in the Real Madrid Champions League, the mentality of the Real Madrid Team is different, as is the criticism, pressure and demands that players receive, the players must always be able to go all out when playing, otherwise their careers could be ruined like Hazard's. , Owen, Roben, Robinho, and many more. So I think they are able to beat Leipzig in the last 16 match, even in the 1st leg and 2nd leg.

I think the most competitive matchup is likely to be Inter - Atletico Madrid. Because I believe these two teams are really close to each other in strength now. Inter are one of the last finalists in the Champions League which is an important detail to mention. They are pretty good this season also. But they won't probably find the same Atletico Madrid from the last season in this competition.

Atletico Madrid have made a really good progress after poor performances in the Champions League like two seasons in a row.

They are definitely promising for this matchup too. Inter will need to perform much better than they did in the group stage if they want to eliminate them. Martinez will be the key player.

Barcelona's skills are not doubted by most people, but everyone has also seen the true reality this season where Barcelona is starting to fall behind and there is a possibility that it will be difficult to win in the Champions League even though Barcelona wants to make the Champions League their priority this season very well.

Let's put aside talking about fighting for champions this season in the Champions League or La Liga, because Barcelona's declining performance this season has disappointed everyone, especially their fans from several seasons ago who performed inconsistently, but even so they were still able to become champions. Last season's LaLiga, this year Xavi Hernandez's troops really lost their way in the League and Europa League, sometimes they still have difficulty maintaining concentration in each match. At least there is an improvement in Barcelona's squad this season so that it returns to the right direction and focuses on winning. any championship...

While we expect more success from Barcelona this year, I think we have to settle for less. The rankings in La Liga are not very bright. I still remember the heavy defeats against Girona. They are far from leadership. Of course, mathematically there is still a possibility. However, I expected more wins and a tighter race from Barcelona. Now that I think about it, they were far behind Real Madrid. This must make them sad.

Real Madrid will face Bundelsiga club Leipzig. This will be an interesting encounter, as Leipzig are also one of the good clubs in the Champions League. They can qualify for the round of 16 with 4 wins and 2 defeats, it's not a bad record and both defeats they got when dealing with Manchetser City which is the first favorite in the group they occupy.
Real Madrid will have to be careful with this club as they could spring a surprise on them. In the first match, Leipzig will act as the host, surely they will take advantage of this match to facilitate them when playing in the second match later. Their target is a victory so that later they only need to win a draw. That is a realistic way to go in a knockout round like this.

you were right Leipzig are in good form at the moment. They have performed well in the Champions League and now Leipzig are performing well in the Bundesliga. The team is currently fourth in the Bundesliga table.

Although Real Madrid is a very strong team, it will not be easy for them to win against Leipzig. Leipzig's defense is strong. On the other hand, Madrid's attacking performance is not good. Vini and Rodrygo's performance cannot be trusted. This is why Madrid has the possibility of losing against Leipzig. But Madrid coach Ancelotti is very experienced. He will certainly take the necessary steps to win against Leipzig. But the match will be very competitive. We will not only see Madrid's dominance.

Xavi Hernandez will be blamed if Barcelonw failed to win any major title this season, however the coach is looking forward to make new signings in the January transfer window and that have remained his initial plans to becoming more successful. The Champions League Barcelona found themselves, they will be eliminated if they don't take good time to measure the threats that will be posing from Napoli in the round of 16. Barcelona performance have been underrated because they lack the necessary qualities to continue pushing forward for good games and earning accumulated points.

It doesn't seem like Barcelona is sacrificing domestic performance for glory in the Champions League because in the Champions League there are still many strong teams where it is still not certain for Barcelona to be completely successful. So Barcelona still has to play quite seriously in its domestic league so as not to be far behind some of its rivals there, but what has been seen so far is the actual reality which is not a deliberate sacrifice by Barcelona.

Of course, for Barcelona, Laliga remains a target, especially now that they are far behind their rivals. Barcelona is bad in La Liga, not because they focus on the UCL league, they are indeed slumping both in La Liga and in the UCL League. Even though they managed to qualify for the round of 16, for me this was a bad performance for Barcelona because usually in the group phase they always wipe out full points but this time they failed to achieve success, even though in group H it could be considered that Barcelona had an easy opponent, but they lost twice.

It seems that Barcelona is below its current level so it is not surprising that they are inconsistent, especially since they have problems with the club's finances, of course it is difficult to bring in players. The current Barcelona team still needs a longer process to return to top performance so they can compete again at the highest European level.

I think the match between Madrid and Leipzig will not be easy, because we know that Leipzig will provide maximum resistance even though they themselves realize that Madrid will win. Los Blancos current player injury problems are indeed one of the factors affecting their performance, but considering that the match against Leipzig will take place in February, I think Ancelotti will not be too worried, because several key players will be available again.

We know that Leipzig is performing well in the Bundesliga, as is Madrid in La Liga, but in terms of statistics, Ancelotti squad is still superior. Apart from that, Madrid is one of the favorite clubs to win the UCL trophy this season, and of course the main requirement is to beat Leipzig first, to move on to the next round, namely the quarter finals. On paper Madrid is very superior in many ways, and I don't think Leipzig can beat Madrid by surprise.

Betting on Madrid winning might be the best choice, because they have the attributes and resources that can make us lucky. On other hand, Ancelotti contract will expire in June 2024, I think he is determined to present the UCL trophy at all costs at the end of the season.

Barcelona is not a team that can manage two competitions at the same time and win both. Their performances from last season and this season are vastly different and cannot be compared. In comparison to last season, their performance this season has been average. If they performed as well as they did last season, they could win at least one of the trophies in the competitions they are currently competing in. But, based on their current performance, I doubt they will win a trophy this season unless they improve.

PSG has a better chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals than Real Sociedad. I'm not underestimating Sociedad, but based on the depth of the squad between the two teams, I think PSG is better prepared to win the match and qualify for the quarter-finals. Real Sociedad's performance this season is very good, but I somehow believe that Real Sociedad's journey in the Champions League this season will only reach the round of 16 after being drawn to PSG as their opponent.

PSG's meeting with Real Soceidad in the round of 16 is an easy path to the competition's quarterfinals. Real Soceidad did well to reach this stage of the competition, but by scheduling a match with PSG, they will find it difficult to advance to the next round. Football is full of miracles, but I still doubt Real Soceidad will be able to eliminate PSG at this stage and qualify ahead of them.

Real Madrid will face Bundelsiga club Leipzig. This will be an interesting encounter, as Leipzig are also one of the good clubs in the Champions League. They can qualify for the round of 16 with 4 wins and 2 defeats, it's not a bad record and both defeats they got when dealing with Manchetser City which is the first favorite in the group they occupy.
Real Madrid will have to be careful with this club as they could spring a surprise on them. In the first match, Leipzig will act as the host, surely they will take advantage of this match to facilitate them when playing in the second match later. Their target is a victory so that later they only need to win a draw. That is a realistic way to go in a knockout round like this.

you were right Leipzig are in good form at the moment. They have performed well in the Champions League and now Leipzig are performing well in the Bundesliga. The team is currently fourth in the Bundesliga table.

Although Real Madrid is a very strong team, it will not be easy for them to win against Leipzig. Leipzig's defense is strong. On the other hand, Madrid's attacking performance is not good. Vini and Rodrygo's performance cannot be trusted. This is why Madrid has the possibility of losing against Leipzig. But Madrid coach Ancelotti is very experienced. He will certainly take the necessary steps to win against Leipzig. But the match will be very competitive. We will not only see Madrid's dominance.

Madrid lacks a proper goalscorer right now. Yes they have gotten themselves some good players but is their primary role to score goals? I don't think so. So I think Madrid should have gotten themselves a proper goalscorer according to their standards so that they can stay competitive in games. Right now they are not at all much competitive. They rely on players who aren't a striker or a proper forward. Leipzig and Madrid's game is gonna be a good one to watch as both are tough teams and right now they are level in terms of form to be honest. My money would be on Real Madrid as when it comes to CL games they always have been the winning team most of the times despite the odds.

The reality will not be as easy as imagined and ya, I personally cannot underestimate Real Madrid. It doesn't matter what kind of situation or problem Real Madrid faces because after all, the reality is that Real Madrid is still a big team and the king of Europe and of course, Real Madrid will still have a chance to win. Playing home or away is not a big obstacle for Real Madrid to win or just get a draw result.

Because after all, if you think Real Madrid only relies on players like Bellingham to score goals but ya, in reality Real Madrid strategyso far this season is still effective too . Unless, if by only relying on Bellingham then Real Madrid performance becomes very bad then maybe it makes sense if you to assume like that. But anyway, as far as the first half of this season in fact is Real Madrid is still doing well in all competitions and therefore, it doesn't feel right if you underestimate Real Madrid whatever the situation.

Real Sociedad performed very well in every match of the Champions League group stage. Real Sociedad has not lost a single match. The team has won three and drawn three matches. However, Sociedad's overall condition is not good this season. We haven't seen a good performance from Real Sociedad in La Liga. However, they lost only three matches. Real Sociedad aim to secure 1 point with a draw. This is why it is not going to be very easy for PSG to win against Sociedad. But the first leg match is PSG's home match. If PSG can secure 3 points in the home match, it will be easy for them to qualify for the quarter finals. PSG's defense must be strong if they want to win against Sociedad.

The inexperience of Real Sociedad having more competitions to play makes them not able to maintain their form in all competitions. But I dont think their form in La Liga is too bad for a Sociedad calibre team. This raises interesting dynamics. While Real Sociedad has only lost three matches in La Liga, the team's overall condition may not be as strong as their Champions League form suggests. Their emphasis on targeting a point indicates a cautious approach, especially considering the tough competition in the league.

Facing PSG in the first leg at PSG's home ground is the toughest challenge for Sociedad. PSG as a top-tier team with a great attacking power can potentially exploit any defensive vulnerabilities. Real Sociedad's strategy of aiming for draws may find itself tested against a team like PSG who is seeking decisive wins while playing at home. While Real Sociedad has proven to be a tough opponent in the Champions League, PSG's stature and quality players could make a difference, especially in their home environment which is known so loud.
