And for Liverpool they have been qualify to the next round so i think they shouldn't be pushing theirself to get the winning result from Lille and for this match Arne Slot should be rotate Liverpool squad and give more chances to the substutition players to play against Lille later and for Manchester City they got hard opponent PSG seems the results of this match will be determine their journey on Champion League so if they lost then automatically Manchester City journey have to ended
Truly Liverpool has qualified but still I don't want them to reserve any player against Lille because failure can start from a minor match they neglected and besides playing as usual is not pushing themselves too much and there champions League match spacing cannot cause any injury on the players, so i will say that wining Lille should be a thing they should take serious, they should also endeavour to win PSV Eindhoven next. As for Manchester City they need to brace up again PSG because a lot can go wrong for them this time because this is not like those other matches they have been losing, so if PSG win they will loss the position of the Qualification to 1/16 but draw can keep them for a while.
Liverpool has been confirmed to qualify so there is nothing wrong if Arne Slot rotates players when playing against Lille later because the coach must also be observant in utilizing the strengths of the players with a fairly dense competition, I think there is nothing wrong with that.

Manchester City is having a hard time right now, playing against PSG is not easy even though PSG is also slumping in the Champion League this season but both teams have the same motivation, which is to qualify for the play-off round so it is difficult to predict the match between the two, I think Manchester City and PSG have the same chance.

In my opinion, Real Madrid will probably be able to win, because of the bad records that RB Salzburg has had in their last few matches and again they only occasionally win matches in the Champions League, so I think Real Madrid will be able to get the full 3 points in this match, because The opponent they will face is not that strong even though this match is on paper for Real Madrid.
RB Salzburg is very clear this season they are really bad in the Champions League. They have only won one match out of a total of 6 matches played. So yeah, I personally am quite sure that Real Madrid will really be the favorites without us having to doubt it.

The only thing that makes me doubt is the last match in this phase, namely because Real Madrid's opponent in the 8th match is Brest. Brest may not be very consistent in their own domestic league but in the UCL I think they are a force to be reckoned with. So Real Madrid cannot be careless when facing them. But even so, we can still favor Real Madrid because in terms of the quality and depth of the squad, we can still see that Real Madrid is much better.

One win and one draw is enough for Real Madrid to advance to the next round with the scenario that other teams also want to win.
My worst case scenario, the home game will be won and the away game will be drawn. If it really happens, then 4 points will be obtained and can save Real Madrid's hopes for the next round.
It could also be that in the last two matches, both of them Real Madrid can win.
That scenario is also still risky because it will depend on the results of other teams' matches, to be safer they must ensure 2 wins will be theirs in the last 2 matches they will play. In terms of calculations, that is correct, but once again it is risky, because no one knows the results of the matches they will play. It is quite sad to see a team with the status of defending champion having to fight hard in the last 2 matches, and that does not make them automatically qualify but most likely they have to go through the play-off round to be able to be in the last 16.

Salzburg can still be targeted by Real Madrid for 3 important points that will help them maintain their automatic qualifying position. If they win over Salzburg, then Real Madrid's points will be 12 which will be able to maintain their survival even though they have to fight through the playoff zone.
In order to qualify for the next round even though there are two more matches left, I feel that they can qualify for the last 16 even though Brest is an opponent that can be considered tough considering their achievements during their six matches in the Champions League.
Real Madrid are only 3 points away from the top 8, and a win in two matches could change the table a lot, but on the other hand, those teams that are in the top also won't want to lose their positions. Maybe even if they can't get into the top 8, I have no doubt that they will make it to the playoffs. The difficulty will just be that they might get a tougher opponent in the early stages.

One win and one draw is enough for Real Madrid to advance to the next round with the scenario that other teams also want to win.
My worst case scenario, the home game will be won and the away game will be drawn. If it really happens, then 4 points will be obtained and can save Real Madrid's hopes for the next round.

Real Madrid must be able to overcome Salzburg first at the Santiago Bernabeu before playing away to Brest. It makes sense, although this is just a personal opinion, but I think Brest was very lucky in the last few games because they got slightly weaker opponents.
This match is very important for Real Madrid to determine their fate in the UCL, so they will play with high spirits to maintain their chances of qualifying through the Play-offs.
yes, RB Salzburg will be the guest team at the Bernabeu and of course in this match Real Madrid will have to really fight hard because of course if for example Real Madrid can't take 3 points from RB Salzburg then it will definitely create disaster for Real Madrid because of course RB Salzburg is the opponent. which is not too strong and if Real Madrid can beat RB Salzburg then it will definitely make Real Madrid's mentality stronger in the next match against Brest. and of course Ancelotti must really prepare everything so that he can make his team even better.
In my opinion, Real Madrid will probably be able to win, because of the bad records that RB Salzburg has had in their last few matches and again they only occasionally win matches in the Champions League, so I think Real Madrid will be able to get the full 3 points in this match, because The opponent they will face is not that strong even though this match is on paper for Real Madrid.
It will be an easy win for Madrid, because their performance is not as poor as it was in the beginning of the season. They've improved and their players are coming back to their normal form. Salzburg is a small team for us to start thinking that they can outsmart Real Madrid. If not for the challenges that Madrid had this season, Salzburg is a bonus point to them.

RB Salzburg and Stade Brest are not tough opponents for Real Madrid, that is if we look at the overall strength even though in the Champions League match there is no team that can be underestimated but I see in general that Real Madrid now really needs a win to secure a place in the Play-off round so I will never doubt Real Madrid in the Champions League, they have a big enough mentality in this competition.
Salzburg and Brest are quite easy opponents for Real Madrid although not to underestimate both of them, but if we look at the level of the Real Madrid team's needs which must be able to win the remaining matches before heading to the playoff round. Of course Salzburg and Brest will have difficulty beating Real Madrid, because in the Champions League Real Madrid must still be considered a tough opponent who is even feared by several other rivals this season. But for now each team can focus on their respective strengths because the match for the Champions League is still quite a long time, namely towards the end of the week this month.

I have different view over this. I meant Brest is at the top, but they often fought against the weak teams. It's kinda different when they are gonna face Real Madrid. This pretty much the same situation like when Real Madrid fought Atalanta.

Real Madrid at the midtable, and Atalanta was topping the competition by winning all of ez games, yet they able to destroy Atalanta.

What's the difference then?

In my opinion, the difference lies in the team, Real Madrid has a roster of players worth 10 while Atalanta's roster of players reaches 1 if it goes well, also in terms of expenses and wages.
Obviously the performances will be different, obviously. But that's not a given, football isn't established so the weakest team can beat the strongest team.

On paper, Real Madrid are clearly the better team from all angles but in a match there will be results that may differ from any prediction. Thus, although Real Madrid is the team that will certainly be favored to win, but Real Madrid will also not get an easy victory. When Real Madrid played away against Atalanta, the score was 2-3, and it really shows that the seeded team cannot always win easily. However, considering that is the Champions League where Real Madrid are the best team, then of course Real Madrid will always have a very good chance of beating Brest and advancing to the next round, no doubt I guess.
Madrid position in the Champions League table this season is really down and even they are struggling to qualify for the playoffs this season, the remaining two games will be very crucial for them, so they have to win the match although it may not guarantee their qualification if they have a worse goal difference than the other teams, but even so, Madrid have better experience and quality than from that two opponents, so I think it's likely that Madrid can win with a big score in the match, but I think at the moment Madrid should focus on improving defense and also their squad, so that they still have a chance to be a trophies contender for the Champions League this season.

The match between Manchester City vs PSG in the remaining matches in this standings phase can indeed be very fierce because both will try to win and will both receive quite high pressure because there must be a winner in the match in order to get a chance to qualify for the playoffs. And from the remaining matches that must be faced by both teams, I think both must be able to win for their last match or after they meet in the next match because if Stuttgart can win in the two remaining matches it will also be very dangerous for PSG and Manchester City's position in the Champions League standings.

Both teams will definitely get the same strong pressure and of course Pep Guardiola will definitely fight as hard as he can to win the match and PSG will definitely try to win the match too but in my opinion Pep Guardiola must be more vigilant because I see PSG's attacks are always good and their cooperation is very great. even though Mbappe is not at PSG right now but there are certainly other players who can make it difficult for Man City like Ramos and Lee in my opinion he is always dangerous. if I personally predict the match will be won by PSG because in my opinion PSG has better composure and ball control than Man City.

indeed PSG and Man City are not easy to advance to the last 16 because they have to have really good calculations and Stuttgart can indeed be an obstacle for Man City and PSG. but of course the luckiest is Liverpool and the team that has a lot of points will definitely qualify for the last 16 and of course Arne is very good at this.

Both teams will face the same pressure in the match, but because the match will take place at PSG's home ground, PSG's motivation will automatically be much greater and maybe the pressure will be a little less. Man City has started to show changes in the last two matches when facing Everton and Leicester City and may be a turning point for Pep Guardiola's team to get back on track, although this has not been optimal because facing a weak team like Everton they were only able to draw.

PSG needs to be aware of Man City's revival because if they are allowed to play more openly and dominate the course of the match, PSG will face problems. Luis Enrique must try to maximize the defense and at the same time must make the front line much more productive in scoring quick goals if he wants to win the match.

Plenty of time till the next round, scheduled for 21st/22nd January, but we only have two rounds to go in the first-ever league stage.
I don't expect there to be any major changes in the top 8 (which will progress to the next round without play-offs). Some ay Brest, currently ranked 7th, doesn't belong there and expect them to drop down, but I think they can handle Shakhtar Donetsk in the next round, and even if they lose to Real in the final round, they should still have enough points to go through.
Similar thing with Aston Villa. Their Premier League performance was far from impressive recently, but the remaining UCL games are not the hardest ones (Monaco away and Celtic at home) so they'll probably earn at least 3-4 points which should be enough to stay in the top 8.

LOSC Lille might struggle to hold on to their current 8th place, as they're playing their next game against Liverpool, who are unstoppable lately, but, as the British team is already guaranteed to go through to the next round, they might go easier on the French.
British teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa so far have done well because these teams can able to managed their position on top 8 and if we see from their upcoming opponents Aston Villa faced Monaco and Arsenal will fight against Dinamo Zagreb which is if we see based on the recent conditions i think whether it Arsenal and Aston villa most likely can beat their opponents without any problem

And for Liverpool they have been qualify to the next round so i think they shouldn't be pushing theirself to get the winning result from Lille and for this match Arne Slot should be rotate Liverpool squad and give more chances to the substutition players to play against Lille later and for Manchester City they got hard opponent PSG seems the results of this match will be determine their journey on Champion League so if they lost then automatically Manchester City journey have to ended

As long as Pep Guardiola remains the manager of Manchester City, I will be be very optimistic about their chances. Pep’s ability to devise tactics to counter different opponents remains a critical advantage. PSG inconsistencies in big matches gives Manchester City an added advantage. Despite any ongoing challenges, Manchester City’s experience and tactical brilliance may still give them the upper hand against PSG.
Manchester City may not be in their best form, but when it comes to imperative tournament, it's clearly obvious they do anticipate in this league. The UEFA Champions League this season is dynamic and competitive race is tense. Tactical brilliance are deviate from elite teams that have ambition to exercise patience and also winning matches.  Pep Guardiola have been the main pillar for Manchester City, he's doing everything to ensure he's having a streaky winning run with Manchester City. Although it have not been easy for him, running into unpredictable losses that are not stable, we see the performing actions of these teams. Manchester City will eliminate Paris Saint-Germain in the next UCL round because they gained more advantage of winning the game without any atom of doubt.

Victory over RB Salzburg will boost the players' confidence to win against Brest, they must be able to win the 6 points contested in the remaining two games to secure a position in the Play-off zone. Real Madrid increasing performance is a capital for them to maintain their previously increasingly slim opportunities, now Ancelotti can also rely on Mbappe because he has started to open his goal coffers in the last few matches.
RB Salzburg and Stade Brest are not tough opponents for Real Madrid, that is if we look at the overall strength even though in the Champions League match there is no team that can be underestimated but I see in general that Real Madrid now really needs a win to secure a place in the Play-off round so I will never doubt Real Madrid in the Champions League, they have a big enough mentality in this competition.

There is no doubt about Pep's ability and indeed Pep in the UCL is experienced and has brought Manchester City to the UCL title and I also think like you because of course with the experience that Pep has, he will definitely fight to make Manchester City perform well. Indeed, we now know that Manchester City's performance has been inconsistent in winning and of course this will also be an advantage for PSG to be able to get points in that match.

However, I also see that PSG also has good strength and in Ligue1 they are performing much better and are currently leading the standings. Yes, the point is that in the match between Manchester City and PSG, there will definitely be tight competition and to be honest, I personally also predict that in that match, Pep's troops will have a big potential to win because currently I see that Manchester City's performance is starting to improve. and also if you look at the last 5 matches of course Manchester City against PSG, Manchester City won more matches than they lost. So yes, I personally want to bet on Manchester City winning in that match.

Yes, so far Brest has been very lucky because the opponents they have faced have been many clubs whose quality of strength has been mediocre, but to be honest, I see that Brest's strength cannot be taken lightly and of course Brest will definitely take advantage of this situation so that they can qualify without going through the rounds. play offs and of course Brest will definitely want to be able to climb the rankings even higher.

Yes, this match is very important for Real Madrid because of course, no matter what, Real Madrid fans want to see Real Madrid win another trophy in the UCL and also if for example Real Madrid don't qualify for the last 16 of course it will be a great shame and Real Madrid will definitely be embarrassed because Last season's champions did not qualify for the last 16 this season. but yes, I have a feeling that Real Madrid will be able to advance to the last 16.

This is what I’ve always stand with since Pep guardiola has become the manager  to Manchester city, although I have my doubts about who’s performing better between those two teams in UCL yet I will still Favour man city over PSG..
Thus I concluded that to affirm it then the 5 games ahead of Mancity should tell us a lot about their Stance to winning it , the last games looks improved a little though but still looking forward to their other games.. PSG can also be unpredictable at times just like Realmadrid but they do disappoint a lot.

The Santiago Bernabeu is a atmospheric ground where Real Madrid dominate and thrash oppositions, they don't welcome threat and easily defeats oppositions. We have weaker teams in UEFA Champions league and soon enough, they will eliminated from UCL. There are main elite teams in the UCL and competitive race is really tough. This is not supposed to be a debate for Real Madrid because we're acquainted with the historic records of Los Blancos, they're enchanced with potentials and winning games is necessary. Carlo Ancelotti knows what to do and comprehending matches is no difficulty for him, he's experienced and capable of hitting tougher goals with his team.

The match against Salzburg is not really something I did be worried Real Madrid will fumbled on especially now that Kylian Mbappe is getting rhyme back, while the injuries setbacks has been less severe as before.

Real Madrid defeated Atalanta who I think is more difficult than Salzburg, while they have been inconsistent before especially in the Champions League this season, this game will be better and they will end up victorious.

Real Madrid winning Salzburg is just a work over for them I really don't see it as a big match, kylian mbappe is now performing very well surely real Madrid will win Salzburg very well, however we all know that there last game real Madrid won with just 1 goal they where difficult for real Madrid so real Madrid needs to perform more and since real Madrid is still very inform more than before they will win for now real Madrid is still very much inform more than Salzburg.
Real Madrid Don't joke with champions League so they will play very well in other for them to win and qualify.

Carlo Ancelotti knows what to do and comprehending matches is no difficulty for him, he's experienced and capable of hitting tougher goals with his team.

This year I really doubt that Real Madrid can appear and give a surprise in the UCL League. Carlo Ancelotti hopes that the players can take points at home without any burden. The tough test that came to Real Madrid has become a common thing in the previous season.
If we are football fans, we definitely know that when Real Madrid took the UCL title three times in a row, the struggle was so tough that they were even one step away from being eliminated from the UCL in the final round. semi-final in winning the second UCL title. Can Carlo Ancelotti bring Real Madrid through to the play-off round?

The people who watch the Champions League games a lot they know Real Madrid is the most successful team in this tournament and they usually had good performances in the past years even against stronger teams in the Champions League matches but still Real Madrid during this season was not good as we were expecting to see from this team and they were not in the good form at all.
They had many injured players and that's not normal to see this huge amount of injured players in a team while all the injured players were key players and the absence of these players had a negative effect on Real Madrid.
Now Ancelotti is under pressure because of Real Madrid getting bad results because the fans want to see their team win the title.
