Manchester City has lost 2 games, draw 2 games and win 2 games, if they can win 1 game and draw the remaining one, they have high chance of qualifying for play off but how are they going to succeed with the way they are performing recently, there is no improvements, there is no development and all their strategies are now at the edge. Unless they pivoted if they get their, the result will still remain the same as long as they remain this way.

PSG is fair, they might have not been doing well here in the Champions League but they are doing better in their domestic league with no losses but has lost 3 matches already in the Champions League. They are better than Manchester City, since their next match is going to be in Paris, they are going to dominate that game for sure, they will leave Manchester City to push to the play off place in the table.

I would say that both teams have equal chances of winning this match. At the beginning of the season, I considered Manchester City as the favorite. However, Manchester City has been losing badly recently. Manchester City's performance in both the Champions League and the Premier League is very weak. Especially in the last match against Manchester United, we saw a strange performance from City. Manchester City conceded two goals in the last 2 minutes. PSG is playing very well with the help of Luis Enrique. PSG also performed well in the last match of the Champions League and won by a large margin. So I think PSG players will be able to perform well against City.

The only surprise I have learned about Manchester City recently is for them to lose their match. No other surprise I have seen them given in their last 11 matches.

It will be hard for anyone to give it all for Manchester City to win against PSG. What most of us would do, is to stay clear of adding Manchester City vs PSG game to their bet because the match is unpredictable, not ascertain about the team that wins the match .

I want to point out that Rodri is not only the engine room player of Manchester City. There are other engine room players like Kelvin De Bruyne, Haaland, Silva, and Foden, in the squad, yet Manchester City is still losing their matches. Manchester City's problem is not about Rodri's injury. The players of Manchester City are exhausted, they need some rest rather than playing two different matches(PL and UEFA) without much time for one to prepare themselves

Can we attribute City's decline in performance to their key players fading off. The likes of K. De bruyne,  B. Silva and  Gûondogan. This players have been so consistent and productive in previous seasons but I am having this intuition they can no longer keep up with the competition ahead. K. De Bruyne is 33, Gûandogan is 34, B.silva is 30. My analysis is simple matching the age of this City stars to that of the young energy competing for the title as them will make their possibility slimmer.

Fof PSG I just feel the need better strikers if the stand any chance to make an impression in the Champions league. PSG this season has no chance to compete. I believe they won't make it to the next round this should be the same story for city because the competition from Rsenal standing position to the 20th club standing are having fierce competition

Yes, I agree, this is the most unexpected confrontation for "survival" in the group stage of the Champions League. Maybe I could believe that PSG would get into such a situation, because they initially had problems with forwards, and several accidents could have led to this, but what is happening with City is still difficult for me to understand. And now these teams must decide who is more worthy to continue playing in the Champions League, it is really strange.

I agree with what you said about mbappe, he is an extraordinary player as one of the stars in madrid,  besides that high expectations may be the reason why ancelotti continues  playing it in every match although he often does not perform optimally, but apart from that, I think Ancelotti should think more about the stability and performance of their current team, because so far with Mbappe playing it has only damaged the chemistry that has been established previously between front line players, besides that temporarily backing up Mbappe might help him adapt better and reduce the pressure that is there.

The season is still far so let not conclude on which teams that can win the trophy or not as far as am concerned Manchester city is still a big team and is still a title contender both in the champions league and the premier league , I personally see Manchester city making it to the playoffs as they are only having a bad time in the team I see them coming back stronger and better than what we are seeing them play it's too early to be writing Manchester city led by the magicians pep quadiola as they have the quality to do it they are only passing through a bad phase of the quadiola era but I see them bouncing back

The question is whether PSG is able to defeat Man City and can win the remaining match to qualify for the next round through the play off track. This is not an easy thing even though Man City is in poor condition they will definitely try to win the match. Man City itself is also not necessarily qualifying for the next round if they are unable to win the match when facing PSG but PSG is a little more benefited because the match will take place at home so they can take advantage of the moment to press Man City.

But Luis Enrique must also understand that Man City will definitely fight to get points even though later they will target one point. This will be a match that is quite important for both and PSG is a little more profitable than Man City who is currently struggling to restore the condition of the team that is sinking.

we have all seen what lesson Guardiola's Manchester City took from Juventus. It was a good match with the Turin team as protagonists and I honestly wasn't expecting that performance but in my opinion Guardiola will be leaving soon.

The reason is simple, Mbappé arrived as the Savior of Madrid and it is that we Madriditas were spoiled because CR7 arrived in the same way and CR7 responded, as Mbappé wants but hasn't been able to, he has earned all that criticism, so a lot of responsibility weighs on him, that is why CR7 told him that he must see that Madrid is not PSG and that the important thing that he must endure is the pressure and the mentality, because the stress and pressure is a lot, and it is clear that it has cost him to overcome, that is why now every goal he scores receives a lot of support from all the players, that is why, many of us can see and judge in a bad way, I could include myself there, but the human part must be understood, sometimes emotions can have that effect on us.

Actually, it is quite strange to see these two big teams competing for seats or tickets to enter the play-off round so they can qualify for the next stage. These two teams should be competing for the top position but what happened this season was completely unexpected. Manchester City and PSG are both in a very difficult position. And these two teams really need full points in this match to hopefully make their position safer. Even though PSG actually doesn't guarantee that their position will be safe. But hope will come if they can win this match.

If PSG can beat Manchester City in their next match in the Champions League this season, PSG will have a chance to enter the playoffs if they can win again in their last match in this round. But if in the seventh match against Manchester City they cannot get full points, of course PSG will not have a chance to qualify for the playoffs if Stuttgart can get points in their seventh match in the Champions League. So PSG must be able to play better because I think PSG also knows that Manchester City is in a bad condition during this season so there is no hope of being able to win any trophies this season.

The decline experienced by Manchester City was very fast, because they declined when they were widely trusted and actually if we look at the beginning of the season, they did not show any serious problems, but after a few matches the decline was visible.
I will not be quick to say they will end the season without a trophy, because the season is still very long and they still have a great opportunity to return to their best game.
It's not too late as long as they quickly solve the problems they are currently facing. However, in terms of player composition, they are still very good.

Maybe, City will finish this season without any trophy and that isn't something new. City is confused and don't know where their problem lies. How I wish Rodri can come back from injury and let's confirm if really he is the engine room, or City is bound to face difficulties during this period. I don't see City having the quality to win PSG, but they can still surprise us.

I'm not sure Manchester City are strong contenders for the Champions League trophy anymore. Even Pep Guardiola contract extension and Rodri return to the first team squad are no guarantees of finishing the Champions League season with a trophy. Things have changed and Pep Guardiola can't stay in his prime forever. The blows that continue to hit Manchester City are not over yet. If PSG want to join the party like the other teams then their job is to beat Manchester City.

The next two matches will determine the journey of Man City and PSG in the Champions League because they are both in an unsafe position and they will definitely fight hard in their meeting later to compete for 3 points, Man City is in poor form and the mentality of its players is not good I think PSG will take advantage of this opportunity to steal points from Manchester City but I am also not happy if Man City does not advance to the next round.

In this state, you can expect them not to be able to go further, if PSG can beat them, which is possible, then City may be left without the playoffs. I can't yet assess whether this is so bad, because if they can do it now, but then get a strong opponent and cannot get through the 1/16 finals, then it's the same thing. Maybe by some miracle City will now begin to emerge from the crisis of scoring a lot of goals (more than they concede, because they concede too many), and then everything will change for the better, but for now everything is the same and it seems that Guardiola does not know how to fix it.

I also doubt Man city for this season. But I hope they can at least qualify for the next stage even though they have to go through the play-offs first. And actually this week Man City really faced a tough challenge. because they have to collect full points so they can stay in the play-off zone. But it will be a little difficult with their current condition considering that the team they will face is also a strong team, namely PSG.

Luckily, PSG also experienced a series of poor results in the UCL. So I will not favor anyone in this match. Because for me these two teams make me doubt.

Yes, of course the hope for Real Madrid to get into the top 16 is certainly wide open as long as Real Madrid can compete against the teams that have been determined which will end in victory for Real Madrid, but yes, if Real Madrid meets a tough opponent, of course it will definitely not be easy for Real Madrid to be able to get a ticket to advance to the last 16. But yes, personally, in this case, I also predict that Real Madrid will have the potential to advance to the last 16 and will ultimately compete even more fiercely to win the title again.

But of course, if for example Real Madrid doesn't advance to the last 16 then of course it would be a real shame because Real Madrid, which many people predict will have the potential to win the UCL title again, but for example if they don't advance to the last 16, will definitely make Real Madrid fans disappointed. and surely Real Madrid will be embarrassed because last season's UCL champions if they can't advance to the last 16.

But honestly, I hope Ancelotti can prepare everything so that Real Madrid can perform better in their efforts to fight for their team to be able to win a ticket to advance to the last 16. But yes, I personally also predict that Real Madrid will definitely be able to recover and their strength will definitely be even better. Of course, we'll see how it turns out.
