Juventus must try hard to qualify from the last 16 and represent Serie A in the quarter-finals. Yes, now they are the only team left from Italy after Inter Milan had to be forced to lift their suitcase from the Champions League following their defeat to English representatives, Liverpool.
I see Juventus' chances of winning are more open than Villarreal, I hope this team can really win the match in the second leg later.

Villarreal are one of the teams that have played well this year, but they can lose surprising points and play very badly in some matches. Juventus is not much different, when the team is on the rise, something happens to him and their games start to go bad again.
Both teams have a chance, but Juventus seems more likely to win. He will win the match with the advantage of playing in his own field

in the last few matches Juventus played very well while Villarreal didn't, yes I also think Juventus will be able to win this match especially this match will be played at Juventus' home, maybe according to my prediction Juventus will win by a thin score in this match 1-0 or 2- 1

I agree that Juventus is the favorite here, they play at home, they have very good players, Vlahovic is slowly adjusting to the new team and he is doing well! Both teams have some bad moments, but this is a game after which there are no corrections, they will play well and go further or drop out of the competition!
Good odds on Juve, I will probably try Juve draw no bet, just in case! Still, Villarreal has shown they can handle Juventus! Interesting information, there are not many meetings between these two teams, only the last one where it was a draw and one back in 2009 where Juventus lost at home with 1: 4! Does Villarreal have a chance to do something similar again?!

We should be aware of this especially against experienced teams in the Champions League we know Madrid dominate the UCL every season it's just that this season is a bit different because without big players that's why some people have doubts. It will be interesting to see who Madrid next opponent will be, is it Manchester City?
Premier League leaves 3 representatives there is a potential winner this season from the EPL.

Primer league team always dominance on champion league and looks have possibility with three team will pass to quarter final and two team Liverpool, Manchester City have close position to next stage. Still waiting in this week with Chelsea have good chance after get 2-0 on first leg and looks not sure with Manchester United can allowing with Liverpool and Manchester City for going on to quarter final? By the way quarter final later will drawing again because I want to see Real Madrid could against with easy team maybe and not ready for against with Manchester City.

I think the premier league team dominance in the uefa champion league competition is more like a recent thing and will can argue that they have not been that dominant afterall apart from reaching the last 16, semi finals and probably few finals ; how many times have they won the competition? Has any EPL clubs done back to back trophy like the likes of Madrid.
No doubt, the English teams are doing great but lets not overhype them. They are just having a great run these few years. Apart from Manchester City and Liverpool, I don't see any strong EPL team in this season champions league.

PSG ultimately lost the tie due to their lack of desire and character and, at this stage in football, no team can do without these attributes, which Real Madrid showed enough of. It’s so sad that with the big guns in the team, like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Marco Verratti and Di Maria, nobody could step up their game like the way Luka Modric and Karim Benzema stepped up for Real Madrid, no one rose to the occasion for PSG except Mbappe. Exiting the Champions League at the last 16 stage is unacceptable for PSG and the manner in which they were eliminated makes matters worse.

Do not forget the assist came from Neymar for Mbappe to score, but Mbappe is very good in PSG and PSG have a great team but which unable to even make it to Champions League beyond round of 16, I expected better from Messi, but I do not think he is still getting better from PSG may be because of how French team is, I know Messi to always be good especially in Champions League when he was in Barcelona, expected more from him. We all thought Real Madrid is gone already, but later the match favored the club against PSG.

The Manchester City match was surprisingly a draw. But obviously, they didn't need to do anything because they already had a five-gold lead from the first leg. But still, it was Manchester City who dominated the whole match.

The big win in the first leg made Manchester City play safer in the second leg, in that match it seemed that Pep Guardianola preferred to rest some of his important players because of the huge advantage they had got in the first leg, even though Manchester City still tried to dominate the match from minute early on, but unfortunately Sporting actually showed a slick game and was solid enough to make Man City helpless at the Etihad Stadium, actually Manchester City had scored a goal through Gabriel Jesus in the second half of the match but Gabriel Jesus who was offside first, make the goal annulled by the referee and forced the match to end in a draw.

I understand the strategy of keeping players, but playing defensively makes me really angry.
Why should I watch the game? Or rather, why should I PAY to watch such a game? The paying fan is treated just like an ATM and this makes me very angry.

This isn't new, PSG should be used to disappointment by now, the last time I remember everybody thought PSG will win the champions league, then they just bought Neymar and Mbappe for record fee still they got knockout by Real Madrid. Mbappe should leave that club if he wants to win the champion league. You can't expect a retirement club for big players to be serious. From the first half it was evident that real Madrid would get something from the match. Although they weren't finishing the chances they got.

Real Madrid players were more determined and do deserved that win, I was thinking the disappointment would be in the Bayern Munich match and not that of the PSG. The PSG players were just feeling relax, they didn't put any pressure on Real Madrid. It was a boring match for me and had to sleep off then waking up to the scorelines of real Madrid winning.

With City hah, yeah. That second leg against Lyon a couple of years ago always comes to mind. Lol. I think Pep should learn his lesson not to over think what the other team is thinking too much. Pep leveled himself that night cos in hindsight it would've been better to go for the same strategy as the first leg.

I didn't watch the City match. What happened? Stale performance? Tends to happen with City. I see it ended in a draw using a strong squad. Sometimes the stats doesn't tell what really happened in the match. Needs an eye test but I'm too lazy to watch football replays these days.

Actually to be honest I think something like this needed to happen with PSG. Otherwise, they wouldn't have realized that they are still playing like shit. Winning their own League does not mean anything at the moment because they are not good enough teams to beat them at their league but when they face competition from the bigger teams and from the teams outside their own club they have nothing to offer. They might be the best squad in the world probably. But in my opinion, if they are considering three goals between just 18 minutes, there are some problems which need to be fixed.

The Manchester City match was surprisingly a draw. But obviously, they didn't need to do anything because they already had a five-gold lead from the first leg. But still, it was Manchester City who dominated the whole match.

Real Madrid has a better winning mentality than PSG. The second half of the match belonged to Real Madrid where almost all PSG players lost control. Nothing really surprising actually, but Madrid deserved to go through after taking all the chances they had. Super Benzema with his 3 goals.

PSG really want to win the Champions League and that's what's prevent them. They can buy all the best players, for example they will buy Benzema, but this will not help them either. Real Madrid is very strong, the mindset of champions, as you said. I just thought it would be funny if PSG could never win the Champions League in their history. Maybe they should stop buying new players and let the coaching staff and players play for a few years without undue pressure?

PSG ultimately lost the tie due to their lack of desire and character and, at this stage in football, no team can do without these attributes, which Real Madrid showed enough of. It’s so sad that with the big guns in the team, like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Marco Verratti and Di Maria, nobody could step up their game like the way Luka Modric and Karim Benzema stepped up for Real Madrid, no one rose to the occasion for PSG except Mbappe.

Still have 4 team left on middle week match and see who qualify to next stage on several match from
1. Juventus vs Villareal first leg score 1-1
2. Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid 1-1
3. Ajax vs Benfica 2-2
4. Lille vs Chelsea 0-2.

This is only my prediction before they all compete in the second leg later, and from my point of view for now who will qualify for the next round again is;
1. Juventus
2. Manchester United
3. Ajax
4. Chelsea

And if later this prediction goes wrong, then the fans here don't be discouraged because they are all always fighting to win the Champions League this season.

Chelsea have a very big chance of qualifying, after winning on Aggregate 2 goals, although the 2nd leg will be played at home to Lille, I think Chelsea have better quality than Lille and they have a chance to win the game again.

Manchester United against Atletico Madrid will be very fierce, both teams have the same 50-50 chance of qualifying.

in other matches, Ajax have the advantage because this Leg 2 will be played at their home, I also think they will be able to win this match.

Juventus will be against Villarreal, in the last few matches in the domestic league Juventus began to show their best performance.
while Villarreal just suffered defeat last week in the domestic league.
this match will be played at Juventus' Allianz stadium, so I think Juventus have a greater chance of qualifying and advancing to the next round, even so the match will still be fierce because both teams have almost the same quality. with Agg 1-1 I think both teams will play at a low tempo and if to bet I think choosing to bet on goals under is a very good choice, I'm sure not many goals will be scored in this match.

IMO. Juventus will try to qualify for the quarter-finals when they host Villarreal at the Allianz Stadium. The statistics of the two different teams allowed Juventus to qualify for the next round.

Even though they play at Old Trafford, Manchester United who is in a bad shape will find it difficult to face Atletico Madrid. The defeat of Manchester City saw that MU players did not have the fighting spirit, moreover the internal team was unstable, many petitions are asking Rangnick to be sacked immediately from the MU a coach seat. Diego Simeone will take advantage of this opportunity to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Successfully holding off a 2-2 draw against Benfica in the 1st leg, the chances of Ajax qualifying for the quarter-finals are very open. Ajax is more favored in this match, moreover their stunning performance in the Eredivisie makes Ajax very favored to qualify in the quarter-finals.

Chelsea will soon follow other English teams (Liverpool and Manchester City) who first qualified for the quarter-finals.

1. Liverpool

I see Juventus' chances of winning are more open than Villarreal, I hope this team can really win the match in the second leg later.

True, we cannot be 100% correct in predicting football matches. Even if it brings together two teams that differ greatly in quality. Because every game there are always surprises that are created and that makes us interested in following the game. Moreover, speaking of the Champions League which is now the center of attention, those who play are certainly more motivated to win.

maybe, I personally see the possibility in terms of the tenacity of each player in the match, the optimism is that they can equalize and even steal the score in the last minute, usually the superior player feels he is safe, the fact is that the opposing team builds a strategy by enjoying the road the match from the first leg to the end. Team cohesiveness and direction that has been structured and can read the moment, there is an opportunity together with the readiness they arrange, for a league I think this is a prestigious event, how euphoric it feels, a prestigious team duel for a achievement. all teams certainly do not want to disappoint the support of both sponsors, fans and a popularity.

After all, UCL is a dream for all players so they certainly don't want to disappoint anyone but in a match there will always be winners and losers. In fact, sometimes the dark horse teams can show a surprise in every match, this proves how motivated they are despite the fact that the dark horse team only gets lower pay. But even so, the final match will always bring together the favorite teams which of course every match in the UCL, is always an interesting big match to look forward to.

I see Chelsea for sure have a place in the quarter-finals, but if you look at Manchester United I seem a little hesitant even though I expect them to be able to follow in the footsteps of the other 2 teams who have qualified. Compared to the 3 matches that will be run, Chelsea is the most likely to qualify, considering the other 3 matches got a draw in the first leg.

Never say never, this magic always happens in the champions League,you don't have to play with your chances in the champions League because the next minute will cost you,it happens in 2006 when AC Milan wss winning Liverpool 3-0 in the final then suddenly Liverpool equalise all the goals and win AC Milan in the penalties shootout.even when Paris Saint Germain won Barca first leg 4-1 then second leg Barcelona won 6-1 or so this is the mystery of the champions League.

Yeah sometimes there are some magical moments in football like this and thats why we love to watch it you can't predict the outcome some times in my opinion barcelona comeback was the most epic after losing the first leg 4 0 they manage to make a comeback by scoring three goals in the last 15 minutes against a team playing defense and of the caliber of psg.
