I am glad we (Liverpool) are already qualified for the last 16. Some of our players look tired so it will be nice to rotate and give players a rest without it affecting our chance at winning the CL.

We also won’t have to play that two legged play off which is a huge bonus. Teams like Man City and Real Madrid might not have this luxury.

I like what Liverpool is doing in this season, I want them to keep doing this performance till the end of the season, I have that confident that Liverpool will qualify for 16 round in this season because they have done what will make other teams not to withstand them because they have the players that will make Liverpool dream to come to reality in this tournament.

Everyone thought that with the arrival of Arne Slot, Liverpool would become a mid-table team again, but with their current performances they are one of the serious title contenders for both EPL and UCL. Even though Liverpool's management has been unsuccessful and stingy in terms of transfers, they should be appreciated for their choice of manager. Arne Slot, who many people heard of after he came to Liverpool and didn't find attractive after Klopp, is managing to crush his rivals with a squad that is inferior to his rivals. You have to admire the Liverpool management in this respect. I hope they stop skimping on transfers and we will see Liverpool with both EPL and UCL trophies at the end of the season.

Real Madrid at this moment knows that every point counts in their quest to progress to the next round of the competition? A home game against Salsburg I think will be an easy one for Carlo Ancelotti's men to get all three points. The quality of players at Real Madrid can't be matched by that of Salsburg, and now that Real Madrid knows they might fail to progress to the knockout stages of the competition, you should expect nothing but their very best in that game. My prediction is that Real Madrid will win that game as well as register 2+ goals.

That would be nice to bet on if you are quite sure of that outcome. Because the probability of happening may be indeed high as they have the motivation to achieve such position. But don't bet high stakes as you can't still guarantee the results. Be conservative with the amount of your bet even if you feel you will hit it right.

Real Madrid matches against RB Salzburg and Brest; you will have some bettors risking that, to bet against Real Madrid to lose any of the matches, which the odds for that will be much if Real Madrid is to lose any of their two upcoming Champions League matches.

The new match format is not favorable to big teams. Betting on big teams to win most of their match this season, doesn't go that way. It can turned out to be a surprise to u that Real Madrid lost or drew any of their Champions League matches, when everyone thought that they would have 6 points from both matches, taking them to the round of 16.

Real Madrid football team will play match against Red Bull Salzburg and that will be interesting match because players of Real Madrid are in good form. But Real Madrid team has good ranking on the table as comparison to Red Bull Salzburg because that team is at 20 position and that team won three matches and lost 3 matches and performance is not bad at all. Red Bull Salzburg team has 32th ranking on the table which is very low ranking and that team has only 3 points on the table lost 5 matches out of 6 . Real Madrid football team will also play match against Brest football team which is good position and continuously winning all matches.But they lost last match and that could affect on the performance of players but players should try their best to win this match.

I think Guardiola will be focused on both the Premier League and the Champions League, maybe he already realizes that City can't win the Premier League, all they can achieve is top 4, but they can try to win the Champions League. It won't be easy and considering how difficult this season is for them, this task seems very difficult too, but I know that Guardiola is a maximalist and he will try to achieve the maximum result by the end of the season.

But before that, they have to play a very important and difficult match with PSG, as Guardiola likes to say, one step at a time, you don't need to look too far, for now it is important to win the next match.

Did you think they would give up on the Premier League just like that? Even though their performance is not really good and they did not look like they would be able to win either, I think Manchester City can do something about this before the end of this season. We all know how good Guardiola is and how he manages this team with a very good strategy, although it won’t give them any chances that they will do that because Liverpool is there, and they are not ready to drop any points as it is now.

However, for the Champions League competition, is it that they are doing better than the Premier League there? Because I think Manchester City's performance is almost the same thing in these two competitions, although I don’t know your reason for saying that, but to me their performance is still the same thing.

As for the premiership, Manchester City should just kiss it goodbye because i see no magic that will make Liverpool to drop points to the extent that Manchester City will now overtake them at the top of the league table. The poor performance of Manchester City before they started picking up recently has really caused them a lot and if time is not taken, they can end this season without any trophy. They are not even better in the Champions League and who knows if this recent performance they have shown in their last few games will last for a long time because i still have the feelings that Manchester City is yet to recover fully from their poor form previously so until they have proven otherwise, it will be difficult to trust that they are fully back to form. If they will stand a chance in the Champions League, it will require a lot of sacrifices and consistency which may not be easy for them considering the setting of the Champions League and how teams have been performing so far since we have seen some smaller clubs pulling out great surprises at the initial stages but let's hope that Manchester City is fully back to the game.

Liverpool have really done well for themselves in this group stage so far. Topping the UCl table shows how good they've been. They are the only team with the best record of 18/18 since the start of the competition. But i think there is a need to win all games even though though they've qualified already.

That is the hope that we have, because everyone is focusing their energies on that game, because not only City, PSG really needs it. For me, it will be a very good game, very interesting and it can be very promising, now to see who can be the winner. For me, this game should not end in a draw because everyone will be in suspense of elimination. In this game, a winner has to emerge, this will be very good.

I think the bets will be very much in favor of City for everything they have achieved so far, but each game is a different story, I wouldn't know which team to bet on.

That's a game that I'm looking forward to. Just as you've said, both sides needs a win, but the better side gets all points. And psg have the home advantage, which will also make the game very interesting. We can't really say that Manchester city are in form considering their last two wins. The UCl fixture is something different, so it isn't an easy game to predict. And, I hope I don't watch something boring, as I expect goals from both sides.

If we compare Manchester City's UEFA Champions League performance this season and other seasons' UEFA Champions League performances, we may see a lot of difference. The team won the UEFA Champions League a few seasons ago but have won just two matches so far this season. Manchester City beat West Ham by a huge margin few a days ago, so maybe their players will be able to play well in their next match. Manchester City will face PSG in their next match. Manchester City's previous record with this team is very good, moreover, this match will be played at PSG's home ground where they will have the Extra advantage.

Man City and PSG are both under pressure in UCL this season, their meeting later will greatly affect the chances of qualifying for the next round, so both teams need a win in this match, if one loses then it will close their chances or could be eliminated immediately, if you look at H2H, Man City does have a good record but with their current performance it cannot be a reference, so I am more confident that PSG will win. Luis Enrique must ensure that his men get a place in R16 otherwise his career at PSG could end this season.

Manchester City's visit to Paris Saint Germaine will be a very important game for both sides and that's because both teams will need to win that game to still stand a chance of progressing to the next round of the competition. Manchester City I know have not been as impressive as they used to be this season but in their last two games, they've significantly improved so I expect an epic game when both side meet at Parc des Princes later this month. I can't actually predict who'll win that game now but I expect the game to produce a lot of goals

That is the hope that we have, because everyone is focusing their energies on that game, because not only City, PSG really needs it. For me, it will be a very good game, very interesting and it can be very promising, now to see who can be the winner.

It has been too difficult for Pep Guardiola to read Manchester City retaining the Premier League title this season, but it is still possible for Pep Guardiola to win the Champions League title as long as he is able to make Manchester City progress from one round to another until the final. Of course I doubt that this season especially if Manchester City's form doesn't improve, but if they improve then anything is possible.

The toughest challenge is to beat PSG who will play at home, while Club Brugge looks easier based on the depth of their squad. On the other hand, PSG is also struggling to qualify for the next round by trying to be among the teams playing in the playoffs, but it will definitely be difficult because Manchester City is a team that is better prepared in my opinion.

I have to agree with you because in the Champions League there is no team that can be underestimated. Because all the teams that get tickets to the Champions League are teams that have fought very hard in their respective domestic leagues. So they won't give up easily. And it's possible that in the last two matches there will be surprises that could cause a team that is considered strong to lose.
Because this is UCL, unexpected things often happen here and that is something that is considered normal at UCL. because even ordinary teams can sometimes go further than other strong teams.

Yes, what you say is true, anyone can have the boost of morale and pride and win.
However, it is undeniable that there are favorite teams, let's say that i am seeing that there are more teams at the same level this season and consequently in my opinion we could have some surprises in the semi-finals..

Well thats what we are all hoping to see in the semi finals because believe the champions league this season has being nothing but filled of surprises although most of the big boys have been out of form this season and we have seen so many crazy results and when it comes to betting on those big boys at this stage is something am not willing to risk again cause they have caused alot of damages betting on them.

I am glad we (Liverpool) are already qualified for the last 16. Some of our players look tired so it will be nice to rotate and give players a rest without it affecting our chance at winning the CL.

We also won’t have to play that two legged play off which is a huge bonus. Teams like Man City and Real Madrid might not have this luxury.

But finishing 1st is supposed to give an advantage over finishing 2nd to 8th, isn't it? Or maybe I am wrong and it is all a new drawing after the first round and the advantage is that those teams do not have to go through the playoffs. I think that is more likely how it's going to be done.

Then yes I think this is a highly welcome possibility for some rotation. But it's tricky for all other teams as both Lille and Eindhoven are playing for serious goals in those games. Lille could stay in the top 8 and Eindhoven, playing at home, might have an unexpected chance to win important points against Liverpool and not drop out of the top 24. But it's possible that they seal the deal in the next game against Belgrade anyway.

Yes, for this new format, teams that finish in 1-8th positions have the privilege of not having to play a two-legged play-off. However, that does not mean they can easily get through the knockout rounds later, the luxury is only having time to rest, the rest of the UCL league matches are difficult to get through. A good start does not promise a good ending, this is what happened to Liverpool last season in the Europa League.

This season, Man City has nothing special, even qualifying for the play-offs is also difficult because they have to play against PSG, both of whom are also fighting to qualify for the play-offs. Meanwhile, Real Madrid can be sure to qualify for the play-offs because in the remaining two matches they will play against easy teams. However, Real Madrid, although they currently do not have the luxury of Liverpool, Real Madrid still has its own characteristics. Real Madrid often appear unstable in the group stage, but in the knockout round they are difficult to stop, especially if they enter the final match.

For now Liverpool can sit back and strategize to always be ready to play match after match. An extraordinary achievement if they really sweep 8 matches without being defeated. No club in the Champion League can be like Liverpool with 0 defeats and 0 draws from 6 matches that have been played, but remember that doesn't mean everything is finished. While some big teams such as Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Milan, Madrid, and Man City must fight harder.

If you look at their record, almost all the matches have been lost and there have been a good couple of matches in which they have won. Now whether they win or lose in the next match depends on their performance but many are saying that Manchester City are improving themselves so they will win the next match as they try to improve their record and add to the title.

If we compare Manchester City's UEFA Champions League performance this season and other seasons' UEFA Champions League performances, we may see a lot of difference. The team won the UEFA Champions League a few seasons ago but have won just two matches so far this season.

Manchester City is definitely the favorite team to win that match because champions league is never really a something PSG have any records in so I believe Manchester City will give them a lot of surprises. At the moment, PSG have already won a trophy which was the French Super cup, they are on their way to winning the French Lig 1 and champions league next season is sure for them. On the other hand, Manchester City have nothing at hand at the moment so they will play the match like everything depend on it, of course everything does depend on that match for them. This is how I arrived at the conclusion that City will win the match.

Been rhe favourite for this fixture literally is one thing Manchester City is actually going to effortlessly get from people generally but the challenge will continue to lay around their ability to win the game because till this moment, I'm yet to consider them stable enough so I still have some reservations around them as to what they can be able to achieve in this game, although their last game they had a really brilliant victory which built some levels of confidence but for the benefit of doubts I keep my fingers crossed.

I don't know why you can think if manchester city is not too focused on the UCL and only focus on domestic league this season, because I personally think if what you say is true then it's a foolishness for guardiola, because actually they should focus more on the UCL than the domestic league this season, Currently their position in the domestic league is fairly impossible not only to become champions even to end the season only in the UCL zone will be very difficult for them with their current conditions and situations, so it is indeed better for Guardiola to more focus on his target in the UCL at this time, although indeed the UCL is also difficult but if they manage to qualify for the knockout phase then actually their hopes of winning the trophy are clearly greater in the UCL than the EPL this season.

Gaurdiolla doesn't have any focus if he says he is focusing on premier league or championship league. He should pursue the two and which ever gives him a higher chance of winning then he can channel his full energy there. Gaurdiolla might end up with nothing this season because the competition has gone beyond what he can salvage at the moment.

De best Gaurdiolla should do is just try to make the champions league games the will play fun and entertaining and as for the premier league fight harder to collect champions League ticket for next season then then come back next season to compete for the champions League title.

It looks like we have to readjust our expectations when it comes to Man City. Pep Guardiola will continue to work hard to secure all the opportunities they have in every competition, Man City priority scale remains the same, they want the Premier League and Champions League trophies. We know that this is quite difficult to achieve, and it must be admitted that their chances of achieving success in both competitions are now relatively low. We'll see how far Pep Guardiola is able to overcome every challenge this season, what is clear is that Man City will not give up easily.

On the other hand, I believe Man City will be able to finish in the top four of the standings and get a place in the Champions League next season. Now Man City seems to have passed their worst period, the last two wins can be considered a sign that they have risen. Man City next three matches are also relatively easy to overcome, so they can be used as momentum to create consistency. If successful, it would be valuable capital when facing PSG in round 7 in the next two weeks.

Yup that is the unfortunate reality of Manchester City this season, no magic can make it happen even if they win all their remaining matches, which is not even possible. All they have left is the champions league so Pep Guardiola have to use all he has to play each and every remain match of the tournament and ensure City does not lose any champions league match again. They have to priorities the champions league by reserving players any week they have champions league match. I know this is not the playing culture of Guardiola but it has become necessary at this point. I'm expecting them to build on their last match which they won by 4:1.

Manchester City next match is with PSG, and it ain't gonna be an easy match for them. Both teams are fighting for survival to see how it can be possible for them to advance to the next round. This make it a very difficult match with all seriousness. PSG looks stronger than City currently, but they finds it difficult to win their UCL matches this season. The best wil be the winner.

Even if Manchester City focuses only on their domestic league, I don't think they have the opportunity to win the Premier League. It’s better to focus on both the Champions League and their domestic league. They are currently not in good form, and that is why they are seeing these results. If they get back in good form now, you will see the difference.

Manchester City has many quality players that they can rotate, but the truth is that the team is not getting it right, and this can happen to any team. Manchester City has been known as one of the best teams in the world for over four seasons now. I believe that, even now, if they get back in form, they can still win the Champions League.

This season for the Premier League still has quite a lot of matches left. If they play better and maintain their winning consistency for the rest of the season, they will get good results. If chasing Liverpool is quite difficult, they can maintain their Champions League seat next season by finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League standings.

It's not that I don't believe Man City can get the Champions League trophy this season. The competition will be very tight this season. They will still have a chance, not only Man City, but I'm sure Madrid also has a chance in the Champions League. That chance will be bigger and looks quite clear if they can qualify for the next round.

Maybe Manchester City shouldn't really care about what they could do with Champions League, they do not really look like they are going to do anyways, so maybe that shouldn't be the case here at all. Maybe they should only focus on premier league games. I do not know if they are still at EFL or FA as well but they should be out of it so we need to consider how they need to ONLY focus on premier league, that would be a lot better for them. I am not saying this is the only way, of course they could try their best but that doesn't mean that we are going to see this happening all that quickly but unfortunately City will end up being a bit more difficult and different in the end as well.

So all in all I believe we could be considering City being in top four of premier league as much more important. Just focus on that, they look like they are doing better for the last two games, just do that and I am sure they will be fine.

I think Guardiola will be focused on both the Premier League and the Champions League, maybe he already realizes that City can't win the Premier League, all they can achieve is top 4, but they can try to win the Champions League.

It’s better to focus on both the Champions League and their domestic league. They are currently not in good form, and that is why they are seeing these results. If they get back in good form now, you will see the difference.

Manchester City has many quality players that they can rotate, but the truth is that the team is not getting it right, and this can happen to any team. Manchester City has been known as one of the best teams in the world for over four seasons now. I believe that, even now, if they get back in form, they can still win the Champions League.

Erling Haaland is starting to have difficulty scoring goals because De Bruyne's performance may have declined slightly, resulting in the flow of the ball for Erling Haaland stopping. But when facing West Ham, he managed to score two goals for Man City's victory and hopefully this will be a turning point for him and the team.

Manchester city is too big of a club to be depending on only one player to be supplying the ball to the goal scorers, I thought they had Phil Foden that could give assists and other players too. What I think happened was just Pep Guardiola losing control of his creative mind and there was nothing new that he could coach the players on and this cause the whole bad form that the club was on as you can't say it was only De Bruyne absence that cause the decline in the club. Some individual say it's the absence of Rodri that's causing the club to be in bad form therefore everybody has their own theory but atleast all that will be over soon as the players are regaining their form.

Actually I do not think that Manchester city are depending on one player as speculated, rather it's seems to me that the squad is in need of back up players because it obvious that when all these injury worries started at Manchester city there were no viable or suitable back up players in the the team and that was why the vacuum that Rodri left became so visible.

If the likes of kovacic were playing the way they Rodri was doing then no one would have noticed Rodri's absence, hence this goes to show how important it is for the coach to shop for more players in certain areas of the team, like the defensive area, the midfield and defensive midfield too, at least to help fortify the squad for the second half of the season.
