There is a good chances that Manchester city will get back to winning ways today when they face Feyenoord at home. After enduring difficult Weeks of losing streak, Pep Guardiola boys should get off the line by winning Feyenoord today, because it is very important for them to win. They can't continue to lose games the way they are doing. They lost their last champions League match away at Lisbon when they faced sporting Lisbon. Feyenoord is a weaker opponent compared to sporting Lisbon, so if Manchester city fail to win them, that means there is serious trouble in the team. Pep Guardiola has to find a way to navigate the team to start believing in themselves again. They have to win today match with nothing less than 5:0. The rate at which they have been conceding goals lately shows that their defence is not working. Even if they are not scoring they shouldn't be conceding that level of goals. If they fail to win today it will be very bad for the Manchester side.
There is nothing else that Madrid can do apart from fielding their reserve players to maximize the match in the midst of the big shock that befell Real Madrid. Losing several core players means that the Real Madrid squad is very easily defeated by opponents in the Champions League or La Liga. At least Real Madrid can maintain their position in the standings by playing a draw. After Vinicius' absence made Real Madrid's attack line weaker, Mbappe was able to play after recovering from injury. Real Madrid is in a difficult situation with the loss of many core players, it feels difficult to get 3 points even though their target is to win to maintain their ranking in the UEFA standings.
In addition to the injuries to the defenders, Real Madrid are also losing Vinicius and this is already becoming a big problem for Real, they have too many losses, and it will be very difficult to face such a Liverpool. Vinicius will be out for several weeks, he will be out until mid-December, maybe a little longer. I don’t know why Real Madrid have such an epidemic of injuries, they have never had this before. For Liverpool, this will make things easier, they have everything in order with the players, the whole team is ready to play.Liverpool also has important players who are injured, such as Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa (he hasn't played much yet), who has only played one game in the Premier League. It is a fact that Liverpool has a slight advantage because they have fewer important players injured, but we cannot forget that Real Madrid has a squad made up of good players who are capable of adapting to different positions and performing well. I think that without Vinicius the only thing Real Madrid could lose would be his lack of ability to break through the opponent's defense and make good assists. Of course Vinicius also scores goals, but in my opinion he has been very important in making good assists that lead to goals.
Joau Pereira, but in his first debut a few days ago Sporting was able to appear stunning under his guidance and in the match against Arsenal it seems like it will be very interesting to watch because they will get important points.
The league system in the UCL provides many opportunities for non-seeded teams to enter the knockout stages. Sporting are certainly not a weak team, but with the move of Amorim I think something will be different. Especially in the UCL, there is a different pressure when playing in Europe. Pereira's experience is not much, he comes from Sporting CP B. But if he is able to show good results in Europe and UCL it will be a big surprise. But I don't feel confident they can say much at UCL.
Arsenal against Sporting is also a game to be considered as big one, I wanted Amorim to.be coach of Sporting because I would have loved to see how he shapes against the two top sides in from.the Premier league competition. Juventus is a game I want to end as a full-time draw game. Aston are also gradually dropping points. Real madrid win is not something I expected, can they be consistent with Liverpool?
Yes definitely is a game to consider because Sporting is a good opponent especially this champions League because we can remember what happened with them against Manchester City on this champions League, it was a complete disaster for the City how they go home that day with 4:1 against them, so already Arsenal knows that the only way for them is to work hard if not they would also go home with the same goal but however I trust Arsenal that they will not be like Manchester City but my only fear for Arsenal is that Sporting has not lose match for there last nine games, so what are the probability that Arsenal will change that for them?. I think we will watch one of the most exciting matches of recent times, Sporting is an incredible team and we are watching one of the biggest surprises of this season. Did you think they would play this well? They have a very good performance in both the Champions League and the Portuguese League, they somehow manage to win no matter who their opponent is.
So they may have a very big chance in this match too, I can't wait to watch both teams

Real Madrid is really in an unfavorable situation at the moment. After many of their important players were injured, now Vinicius Jr is also reportedly injured and will of course miss the match against Liverpool, which is a very important match. And recently it has been reported that Ancelotti has been under a lot of pressure for the bad results experienced by Real Madrid. Fortunately, in the last match, Real Madrid recovered and won against Leganes in Laliga. But another very important match awaits, namely against Liverpool, but we know that several key Real Madrid players will still be absent. Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Militao, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal. Without the presence of these players, I am actually quite pessimistic. But I want to believe that Real Madrid can get through their difficult times well. And maybe now is the time for Mbappe to show his quality on the field while Vini Jr is absent.

For Liverpool, this will make things easier, they have everything in order with the players, the whole team is ready to play.If I were Ancelotti, this is the perfect time to try Mbappe at left wing. Since Vini is gone, put Mbappe at left wing just like he wants, and put Endrick or someone at striker, have someone there though, sometimes they go out without striker, don't do that, endrick is fine, or even Jude could suffice. Then lets see how Mbappe is doing there, I bet that he is not going to suddenly turn into a beast and get them wins with bunch of goals, he is just making excuses, get the excuse away from him this way.
There is no better time than now for Ancelotti to play Mbappe in the wing position since his usual winger Vini Jnr has suffered an injury. It will give Mbappe a better space to express himself in his natural position than where he currently plays at RMD. Maybe playing without a definite attacker in this game and positioning Jude Bellingham as a false 9 in this game will also give them an edge too over their opponent. I remember in 2009 when Gardiola was manager at Barcelona, he had to overpower Manchester United in the champions league final through his strategy tactics of playing without a definite striker in front but had Messi sit behind within the midfield and the rest was history as they had taken all three points in that game despite Manchester United strong form in that season. Maybe, it's time Ancelotti also think outside the box and try some new strategy for this very game against Liverpool.
The situation is even more desperate for the Madrid squad because they are running out of players and that could make the difference for the Madrid squad.
However, the chance is still there where although Madrid certainly has a smaller probability, this does not mean they have lost momentum.
Indeed, the absence of Vini where he is one of the important figures in attack is still something scary but in other conditions, there are still several players who can be maximized properly such as Brahim who is ready with a fit condition, Arda and Mbappe may also be a good option just like before because even though the situation is currently less favorable for Madrid, their target must remain 3 points so that their position in the standings does not continue to deteriorate.

Bayern Munchen vs Paris Saint-Germain
I think this is one of the difficult matches that we can look forward to on matchday 5 of the Champions League this round. Bayern Munich has a good record against PSG, but considering the inconsistent performance of Kompany's team, PSG still has a chance of winning.
I'm sure PSG will have difficulty winning the away game, but they haven't forgotten this possibility. Luis Enrique is expected to be able to help and he must find ways to improve his team's position so they can increase their chances of qualifying for the round of 16. This tough match is a big challenge for Luis Enrique, but in my opinion PSG doesn't have a good chance of winning in the away match.

This match is going to be tough because both teams are very strong and they are also doing well in their League, Bayern Munich and PSG are the teams that are leading their League or let me say they are the favorites to win their League title this season, Bayern Munich is playing Against PSG today and it will not going to be an easy defeat for Bayern Munich because PSG is also a strong team and sometimes Bayern Munich find it difficult to defeat a strong teams.
Real Madrid is missing 5-6 players from main squad now, and that is definitely going to cost them the game if you ask me. Liverpool is doing amazing, they are leading the league in both sides, both at premier league but also UCL as well and they will not want to get out of that anytime soon, they will end up wanting to win this one as well. This is going to be hard, but it is not going to be that tough for anyone to face Real Madrid, because they have way too many injured players.
If I were Ancelotti, this is the perfect time to try Mbappe at left wing. Since Vini is gone, put Mbappe at left wing just like he wants, and put Endrick or someone at striker, have someone there though, sometimes they go out without striker, don't do that, endrick is fine, or even Jude could suffice.

This is the right time for Kylian Mbappe to show that he is capable of being a Real Madrid hero whenever they need him, many Real Madrid key players are injured including Vinicius that is the man of Real Madrid, this is an opportunity for Mbappe to show himself and help the team, some people said that Mbappe did not like playing as a striker now he has the opportunity to play as a left-wing for the absence of Vinicius, Real Madrid is playing against Liverpool and we all know that Liverpool is in a good shape this season so Real Madrid needs to play well to defeat Liverpool.
Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr will be be travelling to Anfield with the squad to face English Premier League leaders Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League competition this week and that's because the Brazilian picked up a minor injury that's ruled him out of that important encounter. Without the presence of Vinicius Jr in the Real Madrid squad, I think their chances of beating Liverpool is now slimmer but I'm still hopeful the reigning Spanish and European champions can get a victory in that game. Do you have a contrary opinion? If yes, share your thoughts.
However, the chance is still there where although Madrid certainly has a smaller probability, this does not mean they have lost momentum.

With the way Vinicious Jr. is injured, it's likely that he will be out for at least a month, depending on his healing process of course. This means that there is another addition to injury list of Real Madrid. Good news is, it's said that Thibaut Courtois is returning, not 100% sure if he will be ready to face Liverpool, but the news says that he is healed and ready to go back again, but that's all about the entire good news out of Real Madrid during this period.
Right now, they have Militao injured, Carvajal injured, Alaba injured, Vazquez injured, Tchouameni injured, Vinicious injured and Rodrygo injured. To be perfectly fair that is just way too many players injured all at the same time out of just a single team and yes the schedule does make injury easier but this is way too much, other teams are playing as many games as Real Madrid too but they do not have this many injured players, so that doesn't really make a full sense to me at all.
They are doing something wrong, it could be their training, it could be something else, whatever they are doing, maybe they are not doing recovery well, like after games they need a day to recover properly and need help from staff, and maybe that's wrong? I have no idea, but this is way too many injuries.

Bayern Munich will play at home, they are now in dire need of a win after a series of poor results they received in the Champion League matches but against PSG of course it will not be easy but both teams still have the possibility to win this match and I slightly favor Bayern Munich.I think this is one of the difficult matches that we can look forward to on matchday 5 of the Champions League this round.

If we look at the overall performance of Bayern Munich and PSG throughout the Champion League matches that have been played by both of them are not much different and even these two teams have not been able to show their best performance.

Bayern Munich is certain to emerge as the winner compared to PSG, which in my opinion is not as scary as when they still had Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé, even though they still have top players in the PSG camp, that is not enough for me that PSG will be able to beat Bayern Munich easily, because PSG's quality of play is very different from Bayern Munich, which is a club that is able to defeat all European clubs except Real Madrid, so I see that this match will provide victory for the Bayern Munich squad.

It is indeed very difficult to determine which team will be more worthy of being favored in today's match, namely the Bayern vs PSG match. But realistically I think the home team is always the favorite. So the possibility of Bayern winning today's match is really quite open. But PSG is a strong team that is always at the top of the standings in Ligue 1. So PSG might be surprising by managing to beat the home team. But if we look back at PSG's performance in the UCL, it's natural that we also doubt them. But the problem is that if PSG fails to get full points again, their position in the UCL will really drop further. So actually PSG can't afford to lose again if they want to qualify for the next stage.

Bayern Munich vs PSG could be the match of the night, I think Bayern Munich will win this match comfortably.
I think PSG has never been a favorite against the big teams.
I think PSG has never been a favorite against the big teams.
I anticipate it to be a massive fire cracker night of goals for this game as both sides has never had a draw in all their meetings in the eufa champions league competition, it's been 7 wins for Bayern Munich and 6 wins for PSG
However, comparing current forms of both sides, PSG isn't doing great right now in the champions league especially in their frontline they haven't been forthcoming with goals scoring this season. For Bayern Munich, their attacking line is pretty good with Harry Kane there I expect Bayern to win this game but not with much goal margin anyway.
Bayern Munich vs PSG could be the match of the night, I think Bayern Munich will win this match comfortably.
I think PSG has never been a favorite against the big teams.
M.City vs Feyenoord match can also be enjoyable. M.City are in a bad situation both in the Premier League and Champions League in the last games.
Feyenoord can surprise and win this match.

Liverpool is a favorite for me in this match they are in really good form and everyone is healthy while Real Madrid has too many injured players and that will cause lots of problem for them in the upcoming match. The problem is that Real Madrid dosent have an actual striker and thats why Mbappe plays most of the time on that position and not on the wing
In conditions like now, Liverpool are definitely favorites in the match because they are indeed in a positive trend in all the matches that have taken place and we can also see their goal productivity is quite good this season. Real Madrid are in an unfavorable condition after several important players were injured so facing Liverpool at Anfield will be much harder for now. But even so, Liverpool need to be vigilant because in the two matches that have taken place, Real Madrid's performance has improved a little.This match will be a little more difficult for Ancelotti and maybe he will try to play for a draw rather than chasing a win. Because if forced to play openly, Liverpool could beat Real Madrid in a much easier way because now Liverpool are in quite productive condition.
I have seen the schedules for today that some of favourite teams wil fight against weak teams such as Manchester City vs Feyenoord and i think this is good opportunities for Manchester City to return to the winning ways because on the paper Feyenoord is not categorized as strong team so if Manchester City can win from this match then it can boosted their mentally before the match against Liverpool this weekend
Leverkusen too has easy match because their opponent is Salzburg and i am sure Leverkusen can collect 3 points from this match and for Barcelona too i am sure they can able to extended their winning streak in this competition because their opponent is only Brest but indeed for big match between Bayern Munich vs PSG is hard to predicted because they are strong candidates for race title but i feel like Bayern Munich has good opportunities to win over PSG

There are now a total of 7 Real Madrid players who are currently injured, the last being Vinicius who was injured while helping his team beat Leganes, he is expected to be out for 3 weeks. The number of key players who are injured makes it increasingly difficult for Ancelotti to put together his best line-up, especially since they will be facing a team that is difficult to beat this season.
Real Madrid now is like a hospital with many injured players but luckily for them, in these next 3 weeks, Rodrygo will be able to return any time as he is already back in training. They have Guler who can replace Vinicius and also has Endrick but performances of young players can be very unstable. It's risky for Real Madrid in important matches but having good young players as replacements is better than nothing.Quote
In their last match, they also managed to win 3-2 over Southampton, Liverpool were behind 2-1 before finally making a comeback through 2 goals from Mo Salah who has performed extraordinarily this season. One of the players that Ancelotti needs to be wary of is Mo Salah, he has been very productive since being handled by Arne Slot.
Mohamed Salah despite of uncertainty of his future in Liverpool, is playing amazing for them in this season and he will be a biggest threat for Real Madrid. Mohamed Salah did not have sweet memory when facing against Real Madrid but he can change it, in the next match. His great form so far, puts big pressure on Liverpool owner to sign a new contract with him, because he can easily find other clubs as his next destination, but if the club owner let him go, they will face with massive critics from their fans.
