I hope that in the Man City vs PSG match there will also be similar excitement as in the Benfica vs Barcelona match. Although I am a little pessimistic that this will happen. Because usually when two big teams meet, both of them will try to play very carefully from the start and not play openly from the start. And if that happens then it will be a bit boring. But tensions usually increase after one team scores a goal. I would initially favor Man City. But I doubt it. What do you think and what are your choices for the Man City vs PSG match?

Barcelona won by a wide margin against Benfica, this match was very exciting. Barcelona were in a bit of a panic in the first half, with a 3-1 goal difference, I thought maybe Barcelona would not be able to repay this goal. But in the second half, when Barcelona responded, Benfica took the lead immediately after an own goal. If it was a difficult match to come back, Barcelona's strong performance and self-confidence brought them victory. Towards the end of the game and into extra time, they were able to score a great goal and Barca won by a 4-5 goal difference and collected 3 points, this match was a surprise and Barcelona's performance must be praised.

Both teams performed well in this match and the game was competitive for a long time, although Barcelona won the match but they were lucky. The game ended in a draw but in extra time Rafinha scored a goal to help Barcelona win.
 But Benfica kept their team safe for a long time but the last minute goal was a long pass and it was scored. Benfica's defenders were spread out which made it easy for them to score and Barcelona used their technique to win.

Even though I support Barcelona in this match. But I also really applaud Benfica in this match. They made a beautiful play from the first minute of the match. Barcelona and Benfica in this match both showed very impressive games. And to be honest, I was also nervous when I saw Barcelona falling behind from the start. Szczesny took too bold a step in this match. So he made two mistakes in this match. Luckily Barcelona still won so no one will be blamed for this match. Honestly, this is one of the best matches in my opinion. Because Barcelona managed to comeback very dramatically in the second half. Rapinha even scored the last goal in the final minute before the match whistle blew.

Champions League teams are really not just any team, for example during today's match, of course we have seen Benfica's match against Barcelona and this match was really exciting and entertaining because Benfica as the host appeared very impressive and Barcelona was behind by if I'm not mistaken at that time the score was 3 -1 for Benfica's advantage, but if the team and players don't have a good mentality, they will definitely give up in that situation and may face defeat. However, it is different from Barcelona, ​​which has a strong mentality which always remains enthusiastic even though it was far behind Benfica at that time, but with full enthusiasm and the match was played with maximum strength, it finally produced good results which in the end Barcelona was able to win against Benfica with a score of 4-5 and This was a great match by Barcelona.

I know this is a risky bet, but i'll take City. I gotta believe City vs PSG game is as good as Barcelona, or even better than it. Neither of club has remaining games as chance to qualify for the play-off and winning this game is a must.

PSG leads the game with pretty small odds, but doubting them to win it. This is because City is recently gaining their form back. They have a lot of their key players back to the squad, and nearly impossible to see them play badly in this game.

BTTS, total over 2.5, or corners 9 are all going to happen soon. I'm feeling so confident to total over combined with City win.

Hopefully City smashes PSG's ass and send 'em back to their farmer league.

Match was quite fierce, LOSC also showed good defense by trying to stay focused on the front line in order to play impressively in an attack effort, if LOSC defender Aissa Mandi did not commit violation and did not get red card maybe LOSC could still draw because after playing with 10 players also showed LOSC was still able to score 1 goal.
LOSC defense became bad and weak after playing with 10 players and it was very beneficial for Liverpool until they were able to score again to make the score 2 - 1, I very happy to see this match because both team played well.
Congratulations on winning the bet if you take Liverpool.

From my view of the game, Benfica sitting back to absorb the pressure would have been worse for them we could see that from the period they tried to absorb the pressure when the score line was at 4 - 2. They couldn't contain Barcelona as it was attack after attack in them. In the second half, Benfica didn't really go out that much and they did in the first half, in the second half alone, it got to a point that possession was 75% Vs 25% and it wasn't really good for them. That was a foul in side the 18 yard box, but it wasn't called by the ref or even VAR, the reply was even shown to us only once.

Atletico didn't have a very good match against Barcelona, ​​and to be objective, they were rather lucky to win this match, but this certainly doesn't diminish their ability to play a good defense. Bayer probably puts more emphasis on attack, they often concede, but thanks to a good attack they get a win. Atletico's attack has become better this season, but this is not always the case, so today there will be a confrontation between a good attack and an excellent defense, I think Atletico will not lose.

Whatever happened last night, Barcelona won a slightly controversial match. I admit, Benfica played well after Vangelis Pavlidis created the hat trick and leading with 2 different goals with the last own goal from Barcelona center-back (Ronald Araujo). I don't know why Barcelona can get up quickly after Robert Lewandowski create a goal to narrowing the gap, because actually if Benfica just survives to maintain that score, they might be able to get 3 points last night. Indeed, Ansi Flick slightly changed the strategy to be more open and tried to make a draw, but the result is more than that, Barcelona turned things around and won dramatically.

Liverpool have successfully won 7 times in the 7 matches that have taken place. Liverpool's victory over Lille is not impressive for us but this victory is very important for them to run more safely in the UCL. At the start of the first half Liverpool played well with 65% possession of the ball even though there were chances.
Which was wasted by Nunes and Moh Salah resulting in a draw. The pressure put on by Lille made Liverpool respond quickly and play more aggressively making the match even more interesting to watch. I don't doubt that Nunes' hard work was very impressive.

One of the best matches I have seen in recent times was Barcelona's brilliant performance last night. They were very lucky to win by a 4-5 goal. Rafinha's goal in the 96th minute of added time was the decisive moment to win. After falling behind by two goals, Barcelona came back to play better and won, which was impressive and very inspiring for the fans. Even though they were 4-2 down until the 77th minute, it was a great feeling to win the match. Barcelona made it to the last 16 of the Champions League with one game in hand. Six wins from seven games and 18 points. I would like to praise substitute Eric Garcia who jumped in to score a wonderful goal from Pedri's cross and then reduced the goal difference to restore the chances of victory.

A very dramatic win by Barcelona, a huge comeback and scored in the last minute to win the match.

I can't stop laughing with the second goal by Barcelona, out of nowhere the ball hit Raphinha head and it lead a goal lol.

Barcelona really need to find a new defender, Araujo should be sold, while Cubarsi not deserved to be in starting line up.


However, the match Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen is also exciting, Alvarez has been improved a lot and now his performance quite stable. Fast, good ball control, good body balance and good making decision, that's what I see Alvarez in that match.

Champions League teams are really not just any team, for example during today's match, of course we have seen Benfica's match against Barcelona and this match was really exciting and entertaining because Benfica as the host appeared very impressive and Barcelona was behind by if I'm not mistaken at that time the score was 3 -1 for Benfica's advantage, but if the team and players don't have a good mentality, they will definitely give up in that situation and may face defeat.

and honestly what I liked the most in this match was Raphael, he really was a savior for Barcelona and in the last minute he scored a goal which ultimately made Barcelona's score superior and of course Barcelona succeeded in getting 3 points. In my opinion, Barcelona will definitely have the potential to be a strong candidate to become champions in the Champions League and Flick as Barcelona's new coach will definitely want to bring Barcelona to become UCL champions. What do you all think, is it possible that Barcelona will be a strong candidate to become champion?
