It was shocking to see Manchester City lose their chance in the champions League as they failed to hold on to their two goals lead against PSG. Their present position is a very difficult position and to be able to qualify for the next round of the competition they will have to win as a draw will make it impossible for them to progress further.

................................

In the match, PSG clearly continued to press Man City's defense from the start, but unfortunately they were unable to break through Man City's goal in the first half, and Man City was also unable to maximize the opportunities they had.

However, it is very unfortunate that PSG, who continued to press Man City's defense from the start, actually conceded a goal which made PSG fall behind 2 goals earlier than Man City. But fortunately the Man City players lost their consistency, so that a series of goals continued to occur which changed the situation, and PSG was able to beat Man City with a score of 4-2.

And even though in this match PSG was able to win three full points from Man City, their position was not really safe to be able to advance to the next round. In the last match, PSG again had to compete for a place with VfB, because if they lost in this match, PSG could return to the top 24 positions in the standings, which would make them have to be eliminated early.

Football is indeed very crazy and that's what makes it the best sport among others. We love it so much that they make us to lose money every day but we can't still let go. In football, what matters in the end is the scoreline. The rest is just a mere statistics for entertainment and nothing much. This Feyenoord team is just extra ordinary when it comes to playing against big teams. Did you remember, Feyenoord drew with Manchester City from three goals down and now beating Bayern Munich with three goals to nil, isn't that insane Grin

very crazy indeed, because you will find it very hard to be able to get a correct prediction at this point so we need to take things seriously there are some games that you dont need to even waste your time placing bet on, if you want to consider the amount of money people lose you wont consider it to be anything and if not that football is somthing we have love for the amount of we lose is not comparable to the love if not we would have stopped it a long time ago but there are periods that everything is usually very okay when you bet and the same time there are periods that you lose and you will feel discourage to lose money.

Imagine having 30 shots without a single goal to show for it. How possible to convince someone who did not watch this match that Bayern Munich lost the game with these stats? But I feel bad for that goal keeper for the pressure received.

and why would any club been having 30 shots and no goal that shows that the club is not serious and 30 shots with no goal will just annoying the fns the more and bayern are not doing bad in there home league and you dont have to feel bad for the goal keeper because that is his duty and is only performance is to stop the ball from entering the net and that is the only work of agoal keeper.

Real Madrid has an average ball position of almost 52%, with 17 goals for and 12 against and in 7 games it has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses. It has been inconsistent but it should still be the champion.
A team doesn't always have to win to win the Champions League title, they just have to be able to make sure they get through every stage until they win the final.  Real Madrid's performance this season has been uncertain, but I really believe that they can qualify for the next round even if they have to go through the playoffs. When they reach the round of 16, Real Madrid will be stronger and more difficult to beat.

On the other hand, I also believe that PSG and Manchester City will also qualify for the round of 16. Manchester City's mission is indeed difficult and even has to depend on the results of other teams' matches, but I remain confident in saying that Manchester City will qualify.

Did Manchester City perform well against PSG? I would say PSG played well in this match and PSG deserved to win this match. Manchester City's overall performance was weak.


I was so disappointed in Manchester City yesterday because I was hoping Manchester City would win the game, but at the end I just saw them losing against PSG. To be sincere, it was not encouraging at all. PSG was one of the worst teams in the Champions League, but considering their performance yesterday, I was expecting them to meet up to the top 16 in the league after they played their last game, but it is very unfortunate to see Manchester City will not be able to make it in the whole of this season, even in their domestic league, because their performance is very poor.

Well its what every good team does when you know vividly that the attacking line of the opposite team is way stronger than yours. What you do in a situation like this is always wait and pounce on a counter attack of which was very effective at their own end as they capitalize at every chance they get and scored thrice which was very good from them.

As good as Bayern Munich is poised right now, no one would believe they could have been beaten with three straight goals to none by a club like Feyenoord. Could this defeat be caused by the smoke from flares that got into the pitch and made visibility almost difficult for the players. Although that caused the game to be suspended for minutes before they resumed again, not long ago, Gimenez made the Feyenoord team proud with his goal. The three goals scored by the team was stunning because everyone least expected this outcome and was marveled by the end of the game. Both Kane and Jamal Musiala made great attempts to net the ball for the Bayern side but both great opportunities were thwarted by the goal keepers proactiveness to protect their goals.


Manchester City's performance has been kind of poor, but that doesn’t mean they are going to sack Guardiola. He has really achieved a lot for Manchester City, so just because his performance is bad this season doesn’t mean he will be sacked, so we shouldn’t even expect Guardiola to be sacked only if he wants to leave the club.

At the moment I do not even think it is a good idea to sack Guardiola from the Manchester City because if they make such decision and it wasn't examined carefully, it will end up becoming detrimental to the performance of the club in the short run. It will most likely destabilize the squad outputs and tactical formation of the club.  I still see Guardiola as a good manager for Manchester City only that he's passing through tough moments with the team. A little more time and support Wil bring the team back to life the more.

It is an interesting question how strong Guardiola's position is. On the one hand, his achievements in the Premier League are undeniable, but in the Champions League, despite astronomical investments, he was able to win only one title. In fact, he did not achieve anything special (let's not forget the League v. City case). With the latest results his image is steadily deteriorating and if City don't get out of the crisis this season I think they will start looking for a replacement for him.

Their present position is a very difficult position and to be able to qualify for the next round of the competition they will have to win as a draw will make it impossible for them to progress further.


 However, I don’t yet their recent  result in the champions League doesn't mean that their meeting with chelsea in the premier league will be in favour of Chelsea. Because it is very difficult to predict a team performance in the league due to a poor performance in the UCL. And I am sure their premier League meeting with chelsea will end in a draw.

On paper Manchester City still have a good chance to advance to the play offs, considering Manchester City will play at home and also get opponents like Club Brugge. Although indeed, Club Brugge will also do their best to stay in the top 24, but Manchester City certainly have a good winning mentality to be able to beat Club Brugge. But indeed, if we relate to the schedule that Manchester City have in the Premier League, in fact Manchester City get opponents like Chelsea and then Arsenal. With a schedule like that, then of course Manchester City are really under great pressure at this moment.

Thus, maybe Manchester City will prioritize for matches in the Champion League to be able to ensure entry into the play offs. If that happens, then the possibility of Manchester City might lose one of the Premier League matches later, losing against Chelsea or maybe also losing Against Arsenal or maybe losing both matches, Manchester City's situation is clearly very difficult at this moment.

Yeah, very difficult to have predicted that Feynoord win Vs Bayern Munich except for serious gamblers who are risk takers. As Feynoord went 1 - 0 up, I thought Bayern will score to make it GG then an update came that Feynoord has scored another goal, then I said to myself, in the second half Bayern will kill Feynoord with goals because in the second half, they will come all out to run rampage on them. Feynoord stood their grounds in defence and somehow managed to give the killer punch by scoring the third goal. It was really a shocker for me cause I never expected Feynoord to win that match yesterday.

Feyenoord kicked Bayern Munich two legs from the ground, actually Bayern Munich was standing with a leg on the first half hoping to have a complete stand on the second half but unfortunately for them they were grinded, yesterday was very unfortunate for them because Feyenoord has shown them how unprepared they are for now, Bayern Munich the most highest contender being strike 3:0 by Feyenoord. Manchester City also have there own share of yesterday unfortunate results, PSG won them 4:2 and they would have completed it 5 but Hakimi missed the chance.

Pep Guardiola will work professionally despite the issue of divorce with his wife, even where the result of this divorce is because Pep Guardiola is too focused on his work as a coach so there is no time for family, I think this is wrong news because it is only read in some media.

The factor you mentioned can be a material where Manchester City's performance becomes bad, some of the main players, especially dependence, can also cause other internal problems.

With one game left there is still hope of advancing to the playoffs and it will also depend on how the other results go.

I dont think the divorce has an effect on him. They just cannot make wins in a row and that is a problem. I think everyone knows their gamestyle and know how to counter it. They bought a few players and i think they can make a difference. They just needed fresh players that can make a difference
It is hard to ensure that Pep Guardiola divorce with his wife has not affected his performance as a manager, I am more sure that the divorce has more or less divided Pep Guardiola focus. Man City problems become more complex when many of the main squad players are injured, all of which made Man City journey experience ups and downs in performance. On the other hand, Man City chances of securing a play-off ticket seem very slim, but they must continue to fight to win in the last round. Meanwhile, with the arrival of several new players, Man City may be able to rise in the future.  On paper, Club Brugge is not an opponent that is too difficult to beat, especially since Man City will act as the host, it seems that Pep Guardiola will not waste his last chance.

Manchester City lost the truck badly. And of course Manchester City's weakness in match strategy is now fully visible. Because Manchester City managed to take a 2-0 lead in just 8 minutes in the second half. After leading 2-0, Manchester City's target should have been not to concede a goal. But then Manchester City conceded 4 goals in 40 minutes.
Recently Manchester City has been conceding easily, even if Manchester City is winning, I am not always confident that they will be able to maintain the win, because I know they are still going to concede goals. Manchester City defense has been so weak. The Manchester City that we used to know had a strong defense and dont concede easily, but we all saw what PSG did, they scored 4 goals in the second half of the match.

The first half was very exciting. We saw good performances from both City and PSG. But Manchester City stumbled badly after scoring 2 goals in the second half. After leading by 2 goals, Guardiola should have tightened his defense more. But Guardiola failed to tighten City's defense.
Maybe after scoring 2 goals, Guardiola was so confident that he would be winning the match, or maybe he doesn’t have any player that’s going to help him tighten the defense. Manchester City’s defense has been so poor, if you check their last few matches, then you will see that Manchester City will have to sign more players to tighten the defense.

I think Guardiola is in a bit of a bad mood because of his divorce from his wife. However, City will probably not take the decision to sack Guardiola because Guardiola is the best coach in the history of the City club.
Manchester City's performance has been kind of poor, but that doesn’t mean they are going to sack Guardiola. He has really achieved a lot for Manchester City, so just because his performance is bad this season doesn’t mean he will be sacked, so we shouldn’t even expect Guardiola to be sacked only if he wants to leave the club.

Feynoord win Vs Bayern was another shocker for me, in my wildest dream I never believed that Bayern could lose with such a wide margin against a team like Feynoord, this proves that no team should be underestimated. Although Bayern even hasn't really been themselves. After match day one which saw Bayern score 9 goals against GNK Dinamo, I  thought Bayern will be on the same level as Liverpool currently is in the UCL but I was to have overestimated them this season.
What actually shocked me the most about the result of the UEFA Champions League game between Feyenoord and German giants Barcelona was that the Dutch club succeeded in stopping one of the most potent attacking line in Europe from scoring a single goal. I don't think there's anyone who must have predicted such result and that's why many are still surprised about the outcome.
Just like you suggested, Bayern Munich's performance this season have been short of the expectations of many and if nothing is done about it to improve their performance, they'll likely be eliminated from the competition and that I don't think is what fans of the club would want to experience

When a below average team manages to score first, then the way to defend it is to strengthen the defense, and that's what Feyenoord showed last night, I have to praise their defense, it was extraordinary even though Bayern Munich bombarded them but not a single goal was scored, on the contrary, in crucial minutes Feyenoord actually increased their lead. Well, what is still clearly visible from Bayern Munich is their defense, I admit their attack is extraordinary as usual they are sharp up front but there are still gaps in defense. I'm sure many bettors lost their money in this match. Kompany needs to evaluate his squad defense if this mistake is repeated in the remaining matches or in the Bundesliga competition then something unexpected could come to them.
Feyenoord knows that they will not be successful if they follow the same strategy as Bayern by making lots of attacks and creating an aggressive attack strategy. So Feyenoord took a step that was actually risky but also quite careful. They kept Bayern busy by attacking and waiting for Bayern to be careless in the defensive area. And at the right moment, Feyenoord took an offensive step when Bayern's defense seemed careless and yes, it worked. Bayern really suffered a very bad defeat in this match. Because apart from Bayern not being able to score a goal with the many attack attempts they made and in the end Bayern also lost one player due to a red card. Losing and getting a red card is certainly the worst defeat for Bayern. And congratulations to Feyenoord.

Well its what every good team does when you know vividly that the attacking line of the opposite team is way stronger than yours. What you do in a situation like this is always wait and pounce on a counter attack of which was very effective at their own end as they capitalize at every chance they get and scored thrice which was very good from them.

I am not saying that divorce is the main factor why Pep Guardiola is no longer great at managing the club. Because every element, both external and internal, forms Pep Guardiola today. So one of the many problems with team performance, unstable players, dependence on Rodri, loss of player confidence, and the psychological condition of the coach are the complete ingredients that give birth to poor performance. Now there is only 1 match left which makes everyone not put too much hope on them.

I still can't believe the results Manchester City got so far. Manchester City is known for their good performance they had the Champions League in the past and they won the Champions League title with Guardiola but now this coach was not successful at all even against PSG they had the worst results they could get.
That's the reality, good performances don't guarantee a win and that's what Man City are experiencing right now. After losing to PSG, City are now in danger of not qualifying for the next round, City's only chance to advance through the play-offs, they must win their last match vs Club Brugge.
PSG who have just won, are not safe yet, at least they must not lose in the last match against Stuttgart.

That’s football; a team can not always be doing as we expect all the season; sometimes they will experience hard times because Manchester City’s performance this season is really bad, although last season, two seasons ago, City’s performance was really good, and that is why this season, even though they are experiencing hard times, I am not really too surprised because I believe it will later happen. Also, I feel like Guardiola is kind of confused on what to really do currently, because for PSG and Manchester City to end this way, then definitely we should know that it’s not really good for Manchester City this season.
My greatest shock came when PSG equalised in less than 6' after City took the lead in the early minutes of the second half. The third goal went in from PSG and the forth añd I sat and watch how helpless Manchester City became. If they had not scored at all it would have been better other than taking the lead and allowing PSG equalise and still start a comeback.

I don't know what to expect from City anymore this season because from all statistical evaluation those guys are out of the Champions league competition this season and now I beginning to doubt if they can even compete for the top 4 position in the premier league from the way things are going.

This loss will hurt Manchester City so bad. They need to win in the last round against Club Brugge and pray that other teams dont win that it goes their way. I dont know how you lose after leading 0-2 this shows that Manchester City is still in problems and even a big win against Ipswich couldnt make them go on a winning streak
Pray?? You got to be kidding  me... every team on that section are after same thing... no one wants to get dropped so they should just hope for luck  and that's if they win their game against Club brugge .

I still can't believe the results Manchester City got so far. Manchester City is known for their good performance they had the Champions League in the past and they won the Champions League title with Guardiola but now this coach was not successful at all even against PSG they had the worst results they could get.

Manchester City lost the game with a 4-2 result against PSG and now PSG feels safer they still can't have a good situation even after this win but Manchester City doesn't have a good situation at all because now the match against Club Brugge is the most important match they are going to have because Manchester City has to win this match and beat Club Brugge, otherwise they should say goodbye to this tournament much sooner than we were expecting to see.  




I know they were having bad time in the club recently in their mid season  but after the news years games I was so confident that they were regaining their stance somehow and should take on PSG with the hope of having a win but I was wrong afterall.
Thus, if this is the performance they will be carrying to knockout stage , it's better they should let go the race now because  I don't know how they will be able to beat likes of Realmadrid, Bayern e.t.c in knockout stage.

Feynoord win Vs Bayern was another shocker for me, in my wildest dream I never believed that Bayern could lose with such a wide margin against a team like Feynoord, this proves that no team should be underestimated. Although Bayern even hasn't really been themselves. After match day one which saw Bayern score 9 goals against GNK Dinamo, I  thought Bayern will be on the same level as Liverpool currently is in the UCL but I was to have overestimated them this season.
The outcome of this match came to me as a major surprise because there was never a time I will imagine that Feyenoord will humiliate Bayern Munic that way, with three unchallenged goals. Such goal margin shows completely superiority and not just winning by chance. I actually felt bad for the supporters of Bayern Munic who had expected that their teams will win with some committing huge amounts in bets in favor of their clubs. I equally lost money in that match and that was because Bayern Munic could not score one goal to make the match over 3.5. I will be careful of playing them in their domestic league this weekend.
The odds on Feyenoord's victory were 8.4, so it's a huge surprise for everyone and if you look at the statistics, Bayern Munich didn't deserve such a defeat, because Bayern Munich shot at Feyenoord's goal 30 times and at least 5 saves were made by Feyenoord goalkeeper Bailo, which apparently gave confidence to his teammates.
In fact, only the first goal was 100% credit to Feyenoord, when they successfully came out of the press of Bayern Munich, but the second goal was just a mistake of Guerreiro, who came on as a substitute and just could not adapt normally. The third goal was a formality, when at 89 minutes Bayern apparently lost faith that they could save the match with Feyenoord.
So the result for Bayern is a shame, but not very deserved.
