unexpeted game for Mancehster City vs Real Madrid.
Was not expected  before the start of the cup.
Atleast one of two teams was expected to be in the top 8.

Once again this formula proven that it sucks.

So far I've hear none saying that is better now than the past years.
Although their performance this season hasn’t been great, I don't think any team can stop both Manchester City and real Madrid form making it to the round of 16. This new Champions League format is an interesting one because most big club missed out on the top 8 position. Depending on how this seasons plays out, clubs and fans may petition for the old format to be brought back.

Both teams started the season not well enough with some of their players injured. Especially Man City who looked difficult in the Champions League, after struggling to get through the Playoff, they faced a tough team like Madrid. How could the two big teams meet so early and have to see one of them not qualify. Even after one of them qualified, they still faced another strong team in the round of 16, what a tough situation.
Both Madrid and Man City have a good champion mentality. The match will be difficult to predict but I hope Pep will make a strategy that makes Ancelotti feel enough tension on the sidelines.
Well real madrid are in good shape they will have to win. Beyond any doubt they will win rest of thier matches now I believe on them, while on the other side Manchester city are not looking good. They are still struggling with injuries thier key players are still missing and the team sheet also feels like a lack of defense due to Rodri absence. It is true Pep made some new changes to filled the team gap but I don't think so that they will easily get through or not. It is a bit skeptical.
While compared to them Angelotti team were looking in good rythm and doing quite good. More ever they are holding top position in league competition, although they were performing quite badly from the beginning of the season. But now they looking stable and reliable. Anyway Manchester City have had a tough time with the absence of their key players. But it is difficult that they will be able to defeat real madrid in coming matches, because real madrid plays with a lot of passion in UCL and this passion is the reason for victory.

I still feel the situation of both teams is still quite difficult to predict. Indeed, many people think like you, where there will be more people who believe Madrid will be more favored. But who knows the strategy that both coaches will prepare? Pep is also smart in making strategies, especially since they will face a strong team with an extraordinary team and coach like Madrid. It certainly won't be easy for Man City, but let's try to see the first meeting of the two first, a match that will certainly be very interesting.

The Champions League schedule for the play-off round has been determined, I did not expect Real Madrid and Man City to meet in this play-off round which means we will not see one of them in the last 16 because only 1 can qualify for the next round, I think Real Madrid is more favored in this meeting because as we know Real Madrid has started to return to its best performance and their dominance in the UCL is unquestionable, although Man City is also starting to improve their performance little by little, but Man City is still not fully recovered.
The Real Madrid vs Manchester City match in the Champions League play-off round this season will certainly be quite fierce because it is about who will qualify for the next round so that both will equally exert their best abilities in the match. However, on this side I am actually more confident in Real Madrid than Manchester City, but for the level of fierceness of their match it will certainly be more likely to happen because after all both are very good teams and have also been very strong in their respective Leagues.
This match fixture is quite clear which team has a higher chances of winning the match, with no doubt Madrid is ahead of Manchester City if we talk about this season in particular, let alone considering Real Madrid's reputation general, and success in champions league. The Manchester City players are not as fierce as they use to be before and coach Pep Guardiola flaws this season has been seen by almost everyone, So teams are not that afraid of Manchester City as before and Madrid in quote wouldn't even be afraid of facing City.

I sometimes suspect that this draw is where the League wants to do it early to bring the 2 clubs together. Because with great enthusiasm the whole world will clearly watch this big match. Among all the matches, this is the only match that is prepared to be the peak. Apart from all that, the meeting between Madrid and Manchester City is evidence that is always debated, especially regarding the owner of the Ballon d'Or and Vinicius has a special mission but unfortunately Rodri is still busy enjoying his recovery for 1 full season without doing anything. lol
Not only that, the interesting fact is because we will see the meeting of Haaland and Mbappe, as well as the return of Pep Guardiola fight with Ancelotti.

If we look now, Real Madrid is indeed superior in terms of mentality and also their consistency in winning lately, but again all of that can happen without exception because both teams have very good squads with their respective qualities that are above average at this time, especially Man City who are very productive in this transfer window by bringing in help from Frankfurt, a player who has a very good performance in the Bundesliga, namely Marmoush, he will greatly help Man City to continue their performance in the Champions, but Real Madrid with their brilliant squad of course they will not let him go because Mbappe's passion for the Champions is quite extraordinary. I think this will be an interesting match that is quite early.
However, my choice is Real Madrid, they are quite good, especially Pep who often loses his ability when facing Ancelotti, and Pep has not found a replacement for Rodri, I think the full power to maximize this victory is on Real Madrid because they are very used to the Champions goalpost.

Liverpool never took this game serious since they have already qualify that's even why there betting odd was even big secondly they didn't play the game with some of there big boys if they played with their key players it would have been an easy win for Liverpool this is why PSV had more ball possession and more goal attempt in that game, Liverpool never saw that game as a serious one if it was a game that requires Liverpool to win and qualify loss and go home you would have seen how serious Liverpool would have been in that game I believe they would have play with all key players, let me just take Manchester City game and club brugge last night since Manchester City needed a win to qualify they put in all their best and also played with all important players to make sure they have all 3 points in that game and they won 3-1 so that's it, so In a normal circumstances it will really be a difficult one for PSV to win Liverpool in the UEFA Champions league game if not that Liverpool has already qualify.
That's what I thought when I saw Liverpool playing against PSV. They should relax a bit and save their players energy, honestly the teams ranked 1-8 in this last round are not my focus and I try to pay attention to the teams fighting to stay in the play off. The draw will be done tomorrow if I'm not mistaken and let's see which team faces the toughest match to compete for the last 16.
Liverpool football team lost the match against PSV football team and that was unexpected result because we all expected that Liverpool football team will win this match easily by high margin but football team gave excellent effort and did back to back goals due to which their team won the match by 3-2 . Gakpo was the person who did first goal of the match and he did goal at 28 minutes of the match and after his goal PSV players did effort for the goal and Bakayoko did second goal of the match at 35 minutes. Saibari was the person who did goal at 40 minutes of the match and now match was in the side of  Liverpool team because they did 2 goals so far but after that Saibari made score equal by doing goal at 45 minutes.And Pepi did last goal of the match at 50 minutes.

I also didn't expect real Madrid and Manchester City together on the knockout phase, the people I had I mind was real Madrid and Bayern Munich instead, is actually sad to see one of my favorite going home on this lockout phase, however at this time who can we say between real Madrid and Manchester City will win? Because this may not be like there last time, however AC Milan may be the one we would see on the last 16 round because Feyenoord will have to go home and wait, however if all the big teams keeps meeting it will make the champions League final not to be humorous.

I can't believe we'll see Man City Vs Real Madrid in the play-offs. The two biggest clubs in the bunch were drawn against each other, what are the odds...
Both clubs met in the quarter-final last year and Real came at the top defeating the City in penalty shootout.
The odds for Real to go through to the final 16 are x1.69, for Man City: x2.04. That's not a surprise given Real was victorious last season and, most of all, given Man City's problems with poor performance this season, and it's too soon to say whether they fully recovered from that yet or not.
Then again, City has made a big sign-up in the transfer window, acquiring Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, he's a talented striker who could make a big difference.

I don't think Manchester City will give up because their opponent is Real Madrid in the last 16 play-offs. It's about the game and there is also luck in it.
If that's the case, I think it's too early to judge something. Real Madrid can also be the opposite of Manchester City in the sense that a surprise could happen (Real Madrid fail).

Sometimes by facing Real Madrid, Manchester City's enthusiasm to be able to qualify for the play-offs is greater which makes them play not as many people think. There could be a possibility, right?
What are the possibilities of most of these favorite teams not reaching essential phases? I'm enjoying every moment of UCL football because it becomes easy and entertaining. Real Madrid and Manchester City managers are experienced and have been rivals for decades. Carlo Ancelotti will shake hands with Pep Guardiola this season, their meeting will be one of the most entertained and memorable in European football. This fixture is one of the toughest draw in the UEFA Champions League this season. Everyone was anticipating to see both sides clashed again and this time, who's taking three points? Each one of us have a vote and wager to place in UCL because the stats are gritty.

But even though the two teams are not the kind of team to be easily predicted on, we can look at their performance and think about how the income of the match may be because currently Real Madrid is in better performance than Manchester City, although the team is going to do everything to win the game. We already know that, but still,

also football is something we can’t already say what will happen, and it comes as we predicted. So the thing is that we should just wait and see what will happen then. Probably as you said, the two managers have experience and know what to do.

Real Madrid dominance in the Champions league is because of their experience in handling high stakes-games like this and thus makes Real Madrid a formidable opponent team and challenge for other clubs to face in the competition, and Manchester City game isn't gonna be different, especially now that City is obviously bleeding, Vinicius Jr, Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe will never allow City to take a breath and will definitely bring them to bow,  when it comes Champions League, Madrid are well known for their good.
Aside being a formidable team Manchester City defense is very weak and i don’t think they can contain Real Madrid attacking threat at all and also being a team that is currently experiencing some problems in previous games i don’t think they are ready to face a team like Real Madrid just yet. They have improved though but they are still not yet at the level they should be. I can’t wait to see the rivalry of Mbappé and Haaland in a game. The game will be a very exciting one that both teams will have to be at their best.

Ofcourse  the advantage  that Madrid has gotten in the Champions League has actually  been an advantage  for them all this while  and so they have been on the advantage  which they did use this long to get to this level, Manchester City will not actually  be a very strong opponent currently and so far they have been scheduled to play in the playoff in the Champions League and I believe Madrid is doing well in the Champions League to the point they have the chance to probably  try winning  the league again  this season.
It seems like they have inherited the advantage from past players because that is how it has been for a long time since the times of Cristiano Ronaldo and now the young players have also taken over. They are so good in playing champions league games no matter how tough the match is even when they are not at their best. I don’t know what will happen but I am very sure Real Madrid will not make it easy for Manchester City.

I ventured to take Liverpool as favorites today against PSV even though the bookies gave really striking odds for both team, Liverpool do not use some of the main players and that is why the bookies gave odds with PSV as favorites to win.
I did lose the multi-bet slip that I could have win if I didn't include Liverpool, but I was still quite happy because several other match were in line with what I predicted.
~snip~
Even though you may have known about Liverpool before they played who were brought to the Netherlands to strengthen the team against PSV, initially I also thought the same as you how bookies could give big betting odds to Liverpool while they were quite consistent with their wins but after I examined it turned out that Liverpool would play this last match more relaxed and it seemed that Liverpool wanted to focus on this week's EPL match, Liverpool's defeat also had no effect on their situation in the UCL and they had calculated everything but unfortunately many of us did not calculate first before placing a bet I think we will win next time.

I also experienced a loss from my 5 bets only one lost in the Dortmund match against Shakhtar where I played on the over corner kick but unfortunately it was not good and this match only resulted in one goal for Dortmund's victory, initially I thought this match would be fierce because Dortmund was not very strong and they also had not found a coach and it turned out to be the opposite of what I thought and I quite regretted this because I lost to them.
What is clear is that they only used second tier players for the last match and if all the main players had entered from the start, Liverpool would have been able to gain the advantage by scoring goals and it was certain that Liverpool would win the match, but everything happened and Liverpool lost because they didn't want to so draining energy in the last match.
For the Dortmund match itself, I wasn't very interested and didn't follow or watch it, Dortmund managed to win with score of 3 - 1 and that was good win, although you failed to choose the right betting option.

Since each team has been determined in the quarter-finals, it will be interesting to see Real Madrid and Manchester City face off. If they are to qualify for the next round, both teams must play at their best, and Real Madrid is one of them. Their performance has improved a lot. However, since Manchester City has improved their performance a little but has not fully recovered, their fears are much less for the next round. However, I believe that Real Madrid is the favorite to win this match and they have a lot of experience in how to play in the Champions League. Since Real Madrid is going to face Manchester City in the UCL, the Madrid team will not play normally in this match but will come out strong.
Madrid and Manchester City are two big teams that have struggled to qualify for the round of 16 this season in the semi-league phase, in fact I think Manchester City should be grateful to be able to get out of the pinhole and play in the playoffs at this time, the match between Manchester City vs Madrid reminds us of last season  final quartet and I think even though both teams are still not in their best condition but the match still has the potential to be a tight match and interesting, both teams have the same chance to advance for the next round, so indeed the consistency and execution of the strategy from the two coaches will greatly determine the match later, apart from, the performance and also the determination of the players to win that match.

Oh boy! An early matchup between Real Madrid and Manchester City? I'm in for that.  Grin  It feels like Manchester City will get what they deserve this time. I expect Ancelotti to beat Guardiola once again.

You have all noticed Manchester City's weaknesses in the CL until now. They have really struggled against top clubs. Even against Club Brugge they didn't seem credible at all. We might not have seen them in playoffs now.

Real Madrid also started badly but made progress later on. I see them one step ahead with their recent effort. I think they will show Manchester City how it's done.  Wink
During Manchester City's last game of the group stage two nights ago, I was fully supporting Club Brugge to get the better of them so they can be eliminated but luckily for them, they won that game to reach the next round only for me to find out that they'll be facing Real Madrid in the playoffs.
Manchester City this season have been very inconsistent and against a Real Madrid side that's flying high at the moment, I don't expect the Citizens to progress to next round. I know that Pep Guardiola is a very experienced manager that's very capable of beating big teams especially when it matters most but because I also know that Real Madrid is managed by a coach that's the most successful in the competition, I have no doubt City will be eliminated
These two clubs are always rivals to each other, and they keep on clashing every season. It's a pity that they have to face themselves in the playoffs due to the challenges they faced in the beginning of this season. However, Madrid will by all means want to win this match, since it means a lot to them. City shouldn't be underestimated, because they might pull some stunt. It's a game of survival of the fittest.

Considering that City finished the group stage quite low, I assumed that they could get a strong opponent, but I also did not expect that their opponent could be Real. The confrontation between these teams in the Champions League is already becoming symbolic, and for the third year in a row they all meet earlier, if the trend continues, then next season they will play in the group stage. I think that Real is now a little stronger than City.

Brest probably won't be able to repeat their achievement for next few season this because currently they still struggle in Ligue 1 and i am sure Brest will not playing at champion league for next season because the current position on Ligue 1 at 8th place but in his debut season playing in champion league i think Brest have done well this because during group phase Brest can gets 4 wins and only lost 3 times which i think they have good performance considering their status as mediocre team in this competition

Currently Brest can able to advances to the playoff stages but unfortunately for this stage Brest will gets hard opponent PSG i think the met between them and PSG is similar such as Ligue 1 match this because both teams have been met plenty on that competition but unfortunately Brest has poor record from PSG which i think the result of this match is predictable and certainly PSG will be able to overcome Brest and advances to the round of 16

That is a snapshot argument you are bringing up here. Actually Brest has won four out of their last five games in Ligue 1 while the teams ahead of them have lost plenty of points. It is a 6 points gap to Monaco, which is ranked 3rd and this is not an impossibility as you described it now. Considering that they have achieved a respectable result in the Champions League with a total of 13 points, I think this can give additional motivation across all the tournaments they are still part of. I wouldn't write them off too early this season. With some momentum that seems to be growing in their favor right now, a good result for this season in Ligue 1 is still reachable.

I personally hope Madrid can get a win in this match but it cannot be denied that this condition is difficult to believe especially since this is a big match so that mentality, club readiness and game schemes will be very influential in the end for the final result.
I am a fan of Madrid also and hope for the best results. I was a bit surprised when look both team meet on playoff, It's like the finals are too early. I just hope both team meet PSV or Brest, and meet in the semi-finals, but all has happened, I only hope Madrid can maintain their trophy for this session or at least be able to play at the next level. I admit, The city has begun to increase its performance after recruiting several players as the Defender. The city also added to their ammunition on front which make it harder to the squad to manage their improvement. Rodrygo has rediscovered its best performance, and appear to be in sync with Mbappe, This good development will be tested again, but of course it will be hard because the city's defense getting more solid.

Real Madrid vs Man City match is a great wait for me for the fans. I think City are one of the best teams in Europe and with the ammunition they are adding, it can be said that they are one of the best teams in Europe. Pep Guardiola is preparing extensively for his team members to set strategies on the other hand it is another challenge for Ancelotti. I will put the Madrid team ahead in terms of mentality and ability because of the mentality of the players to improve and the desire to win trophies in recent times. Madrid is a successful team in terms of previous experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League they have been successful in the last four seasons. If you focus on City's current season, their ability is quite questionable and coach Guardiola has faced a lot of criticism. Some of his decisions in using players at the right time are controversial. Madrid although in a somewhat negative form at the beginning of the season, have proven themselves to be very positive over time.
