I feel why there are no much speculation about Madrid against Salzburg is because Salzburg should be more easier for Madrid to win and also get a good the position as the make way in the next stage of the competition compared to that of Manchester city against PSG. PSG won't be an easy opponent but I seem to trust Pep's strategy more compared to Luis Enrique.

Besides Salzburg, Madrid has a match left against Brest, which I think is quite surprising in the Champions League. Brest managed to compete in 7th place in the standings, and even other strong teams are having quite a hard time. I hope Madrid can also overcome Brest to be more convincing and qualify for the next round.
While PSG and Man City may have to try hard for the remaining matches, Especially with the meeting of the two, it would be perfect to see both of them qualify for the next round, even though it has to be through the playoffs.

It will be quite difficult for both teams to get in unless their match ends in a draw. This season has brought many surprises, including in the Champions League. Because if the departure of PSG is not difficult to be surprised, the departure of Manchester City will be surprised by everyone, although from the point of view of the way they have been playing lately - there should be few surprises

I dont know how quite problematic it is, but you know, you never know. I wonder who they are?

Moreover, the game of Real Madrid has no doubt; we all know that Real Madrid is capable of winning against Salzburg, which is one of the games that will give them a higher chance of making it to the round of 16. So from there they will be able to put more effort into seeing if they can make it to be the champions this season, even though I know it will be very hard for them considering the other team’s performance.

Are you hoping for Real Madrid that they can find their upcoming match against the Salzburg, Real Madrid performance in the Champions League is very poor compared to his performance in the some others league so in this case I didn’t have hope for them that they can able to make it to round of 16; because this season they didn’t put champion league for front.

That’s why they not bother to improve their performance in even small, because their having hope in the La Liga that they will soon get the top of the standings since Atlético is only ahead of them with just 1 points that men’s in there next try as much as possible over take Atlético from the top of table; but they should get out of their from winning the champions league this season.

There are still about 5 days left before all teams in the UCL have to fight for a safe position and from the past few days we have only discussed Man City and PSG. On the one hand we forget that there is Madrid who might also fight hard against Salzburg. Then, are you sure Madrid can beat Salzburg and be able to get a safer position? Surely Madrid will easily get a win playing at home. While Salzburg is a team that is desperate and has no spirit and confidence to be able to continue its performance in the UCL. So I am sure Madrid will get the best position in the playoff round after being able to beat Salzburg.

Since Salzburg will be traveling to Santiago Bernabéu. Madrid will use their home advantage to take good dominance.

On paper it seems that Real Madrid can easily win over Salzburg, especially since Real Madrid will be playing at home, but the Champions League competition is sometimes difficult to predict and Real Madrid has experienced defeat at home when they were defeated by Milan.

The match between Manchester City vs PSG is worth waiting for and it seems that the match will be exciting, especially since both coaches are experienced and have a wealth of tactics to apply.

With the twist in Champions League group stage game to now league stage, we saw many surprises that no one ever imagined, so I can't even confidently bet on Real Madrid to win over Salzburg despite their records they hold in the Champions League, and we all know Real Madrid since this season hasn't been in their best form, playing at would not really matter for a team is capable of winning Madrid, anything can happen if did give Real Madrid VIP home advantage in that match.

Salzburg and Brest are the remaining opponents for Real Madrid in league phase. It is like an invitation to the playoffs for them.

But it is doubtful whether they can finish in top 8 at the same time. Because the gap is 4 points with the team in the 8th place and there are so many teams between as well. Even if Real Madrid have no choice left than playing an extra stage after this, I think they are still a serious favourite for the Champions League title. Ancelotti really knows what he is doing after the group stage/league phase.

With two games remaining against Salzburg and Brest, then of course on paper Real Madrid will win and also, have a chance to be able to finish in the top eight. But, if for example Real Madrid only qualify through the play offs though, I personally still believe that Real Madrid will remain a strong candidate for the title. In fact, at this moment I also still recognize that Real Madrid remains a title candidate team this season and also, although Liverpool are still firmly at the top of the standings but I doubt Liverpool for competition in the knockout stages later.

So, I just want to remind not to forget Real Madrid and underestimate Real Madrid even though their position in the standings is not good at the moment. Because basically Real Madrid still has a chance to keep going further in this Champion League, I'm not a Real Madrid fan but I recognize that Real Madrid will always have a good chance in the Champion League.

We mostly focus on games that we know will be a hot cake for both teams, and considering the game of Manchester City and PSG, it will be a great game for both teams, which if any of them end up in a loss, it will not be able to make it this season in the Champions League, so a lot of people will have to put more concern in the game than that of Real Madrid.

It's like most teams have studied and understand Pep'd game pattern and the move of the players, because they're the same old players. I feel Pep should try a different game pattern to see if it will make a difference in their matches, because if City continue with their current predicament, they will become a laughing stock.

In fact, this could also be the reason, his game pattern is always the same and therefore studied and re-studied in order to contrast it.
However, I didn't think that at this level the top coaches never changed their game patterns. In fact it seems strange to me.
How come you say this?

So far, Guardiola has adopted tika taka in the pattern of play in Manchester City which allows each player to show his individual skills, but does not interfere with the collective game being the main pattern of Manchester City game so far, in my opinion, actually difficult to understand Guardiola game pattern, because if we see, in fact he often improvises in his tactics and game strategies on the field and that's why he often uses the 4-3-3 formation and also 3-2-4-1, because that formation can easy to change when the match is running, I think if coaches and players from rival teams are able to read guardiola game patterns, of course not only this season manchester city will slumped, but in fact they can win the English league 4 times in a row and it's all because of the creative strategies applied by guardiola so far.

They are not not changing the strategy, the outline of the game pattern that they apply will remain the same. For example, Pep's game pattern is more about ball possession, that is the pattern that we always see, when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona and now Manchester City, that is the pattern that he generally has. And the opponent may only need to see the outline, if they can understand it, then when there is a change in tactics, it will not be too different. For example, in the first half he applied a strategy of holding the ball a lot and in the second half he changed the strategy significantly by playing more aggressively, that is rare and I don't even remember if he ever did that or not, but as far as I can remember Pep never did it.

The reason why there's been several discussions on this thread concerning the Manchester City away game at Paris Saint Germaine is because the quality of players both teams possess and the fact that both teams actually needs to win the game to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
For the Real Madrid vs Salsburg, I'll boldly stake my life savings for a Real Madrid win in that game and that's because they have a team that's capable of beating Salsburg easily so I don't consider that game as a difficult match to predict the outcome

I also no longer doubt Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League even though Madrid has lost in the Spanish Super Cup final this season, but that is a small trophy that Madrid does not need to regret, because they still have a chance at three other big trophies such as the UCL, CDR and also La Liga this season. So I am quite sure that Ancelotti will deploy his troops to be better in the two remaining matches in this standings round, while for Manchester City and PSG both will show their strength in the next match because PSG also still has a chance to qualify if they can win the two remaining matches in this standings round.

Carlo Ancelotti is concerned with everything going on with his team, he's fighting effortlessly to ensure he's back on winning track. Thrashing his opposites sides is no longer portrayed as easy, every oppositions now developed tough form and winning games is also a priority for them. They have seen the dominating factors of these big teams, they're always striving for better results. Every trophy won counts for Real Madrid. They were not only defeated in the super cup final but humiliated by their pre-eminent rival, Barcelona. Manchester City facing Paris Saint-Germain in the next UCL round, bothsides will target winning because that's how they progress to next phase. But I'm giving my wager on Manchester City to win because they've recovered and in for more triump moments.

I can't wait to see the performance of those clubs whose qualifications depends on their performance in their next two matches. Especially, City, Madrid and PSG. However, I have the strong feeling that Madrid will easily qualify to the next round compared to City and PSG who will clash with each other in their next UCL match. One of them most be eliminated and the other will qualify.

Manchester City and PSG dominating the discussion is understandable because they are the big teams that are at the verge of elimination, two big names that hardly leave the Champions League at this stage. That match between their two will be an interesting match because both need that win desperately and it is virtually difficult to know who will win the match at the moment but base on Champions League experience, Manchester City should win but that will not come without a serious fight from PSG.

Real Madrid will surely win Salzburg to progress to the next round. If they will have a problem, it will be in the next stage where they will meet bigger teams and not in this round anymore.

I already said that before Manchester City has not getting improved but some people they think Manchester City is getting improved just because of Manchester City has not lost some games in the Premier League or because of won some easy games in the Premier League while this won't change anything yet and they will lose the games against some teams once day play against teams like PSG. That's why I think Manchester City is going to lose the game against PSG.

Even PSG is not in the good form and they are about to say goodbye to the Champions League much sooner than we could even expect to see from this team but I still see more chance for PSG than Manchester City based on the last games we saw from these teams.

City's crisis is not over yet, a few wins against weak teams is not enough and they should have beaten Brentford, but only a draw. They will have a difficult game against PSG, because despite the fact that PSG is even lower than them in the table, but it seems to me that PSG is playing better now and they can score against City and maybe even beat them. Considering that the match will be held at the Parc des Princes, I think Enrique can count on winning this match.

Yes, seeing Man City's latest results makes me doubt them again. I thought Man City had started to improve when they had several good wins and were even able to score many goals, but it turns out that doesn't guarantee their good performance in the future. I think PSG still has a chance to beat Man City or at least get a draw to at least improve their ranking to be in the play-off zone. So in the last match, PSG must win in order to fight in the play-off round.

That is my point. Even though both of the teams are ready for the encounter, it still shows that Manchester City will be the favourite to win, and if PSG loses this game, then it will be very hard for them to catch up this season. I know PSG will try their best to see they go on a draw in the game because eventually they know that even the poor performance of Manchester City, still they will be defeated, so as I am seeing the game, having a win for Manchester City will not be that hard for them because considering their previous games, you will see they have started getting better, but PSG I won’t say anything.

A defeat would make it even harder for them and it could be the deciding factor whether they can continue or not in the Champions League this season. It is quite sad when this match becomes a life and death match for them to stay in the Champions League, and even a draw would be very dangerous for them. I can't predict exactly what will happen to them in this match, but what is clear is that they have to give their all to be able to get 3 points in a very crucial match like this.
