Manchester City have indeed improved in their performance of recent, we just have to wait to see how far the consistency in their performance will take them before we can come to a conclusion that they’ve really improved in performance and can in a good state to win in all matches they’ll be playing henceforth. Manchester City have a very big game ahead of them with PSG and I believe it won’t be an easy one for both sides. They will both be fighting for the same thing, a qualification for the knockout round of the champions league after both of them have misused the earlier opportunity given to them to be on a good position on the standings now. Manchester City looks like the better team in this match, but one cannot confidently put all their hopes in them.

The match against PSG is very important for Manchester City because if they lose, of course their position in the standings will get worse. Their improvement in the Premier League has been very good but in the Champions League they really have to try to perform better because the opponents they face are the strongest team in Ligue 1. PSG is also the same as Manchester City where they did not perform well in the Champions League so choosing a winner in this match is very difficult.

Halaand is the hope of City fans to be able to beat PSG, his goal contribution is very much expected in this difficult match. Pep Guardiola will certainly field his best players in this match, they have to work better from the first minute and be able to stabilize their playing style throughout the 90 minutes. My assumption, that if one of the teams manages to score an early goal then they can be the winner.

Yeah, that's definitely great, beating Real Madrid twice in the season is a great achievement without a doubt. However, they lost to Atletico Madrid recently, before that they lost to LEGANES, can you believe that? They lost to leganes, and before that they tied with Betis, and lost to Las Palmas. Look at just last five games, these are all just last five games in the league, it makes absolutely no sense at all how they could be this bad, and they suddenly started to be much lower in the league table, not only dropped to second place first, then they dropped to third place quickly as well. If they want to have a decent season, they need to do a lot better and looking at how they are doing right now, I can say that they are not doing that good at all.

Sitting in 20th place in the standings with 9 points,Madrid look unlikely to advance straight to the last 16, even if they win their remaining two matches. This means that Real Madrid must fight tooth and nail this season by playing more matches to secure a ticket to the last 16 via the playoffs. This is a scenario that was never imagined before. The team that has won the most UCLs must fight even harder to advance to the last 16.



They may be the kings of the UCL, but when they are on the field, anything can happen. There are always surprises in every match, and this applies to all teams, including a team as big as Real Madrid. And now, that positive trend can no longer be recorded by Real Madrid, because Barcelona has broken that trend. The trend that says that Real Madrid will never fail when reaching the final.

Apart from Omar Marmoush, City have also agreed deals for Victor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov with their respective clubs. The reinforcements are very necessary for City, though i think it is Omar Marmoush that will immediately be integrated into the team.

Manchester City are 22nd in the CL league phase table, it is already impossible for them to finish in the top 8, but they must win their two remaining games to remain in the play-off places and stand a chance to quality for the RO16.

If City fails to advance to the next phase, it would be a great shame. Well, based on my personal point of view, the problems faced by Pep Guardiola and his squad are so complex. Starting from the injured players, Alvares' departure, Pep likes to rotate some of his players, some core players who are rarely played as main starters and as a result their performance is unstable. This season City has experienced a very significant downward transition, not to mention the problem of sanctions that they will face. This is more complicated than we think, and it seems that there is a polemic within the club and the Manchester dressing room at this time. Currently City is trying to recruit some newcomers, this is done for the sake of refreshment within the team itself. Although the main target has not reached a concrete agreement, it seems that City has a great chance of bringing him in. Apart from all that, City is a great and strong team despite their declining performance, Pep has the task and challenge to return his team to their true level of play. Mental problems should not be a big problem, but more on raising the motivation of the team as a whole. Their next opponent is Paris Saint-Germains, although as an away match, City must get full points in that match.

The reality is that Manchester City still have a good line-up but indeed, the losing streak that Manchester City are on is like something that suggests that their era may be over. Also, I personally think Manchester City not have a squad with a winning mentality if it were not for Pep Guardiola and thus, Pep Guardiola is a very important coach for Manchester City who also managed to form a winning mentality for the Manchester City squad.

So, I personally believe that as long as Pep Guardiola is still at Manchester City, the chance to get good results will always be there even though indeed, failure is very likely to occur because of course it is not easy to maintain good performance from season to season, because teams like Real Madrid also experienced several times of decline and failure.

Liverpool has shown great consistency in the semi-league phase, even from the 6 matches they have played they have managed to achieve a perfect victory over their opponents including when against Madrid previously, the mentality and consistency shown by Liverpool at the moment certainly makes them considered the favorites to win this season, but I think the tight competition that has occurred in the UCL so far often gives us surprises, especially in the knockout round later, so although Liverpool may look like the favorite based on their performance so far, I still think that the knockout round will be a real test for them, because in the knockout round each team will have the potential to meet other big teams, besides that with the system of who loses will be eliminated, of course it will motivate them to beat each other in  two legs of the existing match.

I don't think there is a lack of quality players in Manchester City squad. Pep Guardiola has built one of the most expensive squads in the world. And I believe that they have the best squad together with Real Madrid right now. They are full of star players. If you mean the injury period of some important names then I would agree of course. The absence of players like Rodri affected their efficiency negatively so far.

I have heard of only Omar Marmoush as a transfer rumour and he is expected to join them soon. Other than him I don't think Guardiola will make many big signings this month.

I agree with you that Manchester City's overall performance has improved somewhat. Manchester City have won their last two Premier League matches against Leicester City and West Ham. City won 4-1 against West Ham. However, these two opponents of Manchester City were not that strong. Manchester City won against weak opponents. I doubt whether City can play well against a strong team like PSG.

PSG is a very strong team under Luis Enrique. There are several weaknesses in PSG's squad. However, PSG's overall performance is very strong. I believe PSG will not lose this match, it is PSG's home match. PSG will win this match or the match will be drawn. I do not expect Manchester City to win this match. City's overall performance is still inconsistent.

Barcelona cannot have a good season by winning real Madrid alone. Yes they have won Madrid twice this season with emphatic scores, but they are still below Madrid in their league ranking. Hansi Flick is doing a good job at Barcelona that's true but they without a trophy to show for it at the end of the season, all his work will amount to nothing. When it comes to the champions league, Real Madrid are class apart from other teams. Many times we have seen them struggle in the group stage only to come out stronger during the knockout stages and eventually win the champions League. Let's not be surprised if that plays out this season. Don't count Madrid out of the champions League, no matter how bad they are struggling in their domestic League.

And when you look at the situation of man city we are going to assume that they should be able to win psg but you can not conclude on what is going to happen in this game and that is why we have to watch for fun I don't think I willl take this game serious even to the extent of betting on it and this are all part of the reason why we have to watch the game we choose to be on, games like this that are full on uncertainty are better avoided because to many disappoints are happening.

And if you look at this they have similar situation because if it is about star players they have star players all around so they are not just in form and the problem is once a few players is affected every other player will be affected, so this is one of the common things that happen with all this clubs so I will prefer to watch for fun than any other thing so there won't be any heartbreak after betting and maybe the game might even end draw because they will not want to miss the opportunity of crossing to another level and they don't have any chance of winning the tittle it will only be marked as competitor.

Pep has no best line up, and impossible to push them to play beyond their limit, though it's mandatory to qualify for the UCL play-off. City's basically having winning mentality, but due to the lack of quality players in his squad, he confused bout how to rotated his players.

He missed his best line up, which is affecting the quality of his team's gameplay. According to the odds, City is being favored, but it doesn't rule out PSG's chance to win the competition.

An away game for his team is gonna be the big burden to his club. I'm not hoping a lot from his club, winning with narrow score shall be enough.

It'll be disappointing if his club bottled the game against PSG.

PSG's match against Manchester City seems like I also have a hunch that Manchester City will have great potential to win because after all Manchester City has strong players and now their performance in my opinion has progressed, yes, even though their performance was not good at the time, but at the moment I think is a little Manchester City has started to improve a little.

I also believe that Manchester City is more worthy of winning and it definitely looks like this match will definitely have a big potential for Manchester City to win or draw. but of course we won't know because of course it's possible that PSG will be able to win against Manchester City and of course we also need to remember that of course PSG will definitely not underestimate Manchester City which in the end will create a strong and real PSG strength because of course PSG also definitely wants to be able to qualify for play off round and definitely want to advance to the round of 16.

So basically, in my opinion, there is a chance of winning for both teams, but it seems like in that match, I personally would also prefer to bet on Manchester City winning. yes I hope I make big profits.

You can not be so sure about that because PSG has been doing well in their league unlike Manchester city who just started winning some weeks ago and just like you said that they are really improving and Pep also said that he wants to see how today's match will go, so he will know for sure if they are really coming and anything that makes Manchester city win today's match i will be convinced that they are partially back though Brenthford can be a pain in the ass sometimes. And as for PSG they do not need to have stars before they can play well after all when they have a lot of stars they could not do anything and it is no longer about mentality because if it was mentality Manchester city would not have been losing in their previous.

I hope this really happens, that's what i expect from Manchester City to win in this match, this is a very important match to advance to the Playoffs, Pep Guardiola must make his players have a winning mentality, a good strategy and solid when playing on the field that is the most important.

It is very difficult indeed because the journey of this season is still very long and there is no guarantee for any team that is able to maintain its consistency, such as Liverpool currently has a pretty good performance but they also have no guarantee that they will be able to show the same performance until the end of the season so I think for the percentage of several teams have the same percentage to win the Champions League title this season and this is also still the same as previous seasons if the competition in the Champions League will always be fierce.

at this time it will certainly be difficult to predict who will be the UCL champion but if you look at the standings of course Liverpool is happy because they can certainly be ranked 1st they will certainly be very happy because it is different from other teams who want to enter the last 16 must struggle for example like Real Madrid which of course Real Madrid must be able to go through a tiring phase if they want to advance to the last sixteen. but Liverpool of course can be relaxed which of course Liverpool will qualify for the last 16.

but do you all think that Liverpool is a strong candidate to become the Champions League champion this season? or Barcelona which is currently performing well because last season's champion has been defeated. but the teams in the UCL are not just any team because they all have good strength so of course there could be an unexpected team that will be able to beat Liverpool and of course it is also possible that Real Madrid will become champions again if Ancelotti's troops can play consistently and win continuously until later.

So far Barcelona have shown extraordinary ability in two el classico matches, not only managed to beat Madrid but they were really able to humiliate Madrid with a big score in those two matches, admit it or not but it seems that Flick has brought a significant positive impact to the current Barcelona squad with a better system and team performance when facing their biggest rivals so far,  But if we look at Madrid who also have to lose to Milan and Liverpool, of course we can conclude that Madrid performance this season is not in perfect condition in champions league, although in fact their chances of qualifying are still open through the playoffs, but the knockout round seems to be a real test for them and I think this season their journey will be very difficult in the Champions League with every inequality that exists as it is today.

We saw in the Liverpool match that Real Madrid was not effective at all. In my opinion, Liverpool, along with Barcelona, ​​were one of the two teams that gave Real Madrid a lot of trouble this year. They also faced Barcelona twice and since they were defeated heavily in both matches, there may have been a fear towards them. Ancelotti could not analyze Barcelona well, they gave away too many chances and conceded goals in both matches. Now, coach Ancelotti must do something and bring Real Madrid to the upper hand over Barcelona.
