Manchester City had already scored 5 goals against Sporting Lisbon at the first leg between these two teams, I guess Manchester City will be able to beat Sporting Lisbon again today but this will be a low scoring match at the final whistle.
I don't think so because I think the Manchester City players are still ambitious enough to score more goals in the second leg today. Manchester City will definitely qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season after winning the first leg by 5 goals, but another 3 to 4 goals can still be expected if Sporting Lisbon really play badly. Based on the available odds, Sporting Lisbon got odds of 18.0 in this match and this shows that Manchester City will maintain its prestige to continue to win this match. I hope they win this match too.

For the Real Madrid vs PSG match, it is a bit difficult to predict because both are good teams who have the same chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals even though PSG have won the first leg by 1 goal difference. Real Madrid are favored in this match, but that doesn't mean they can stop PSG's movement during the match. I'm for PSG today and I hope Messi can score and take his team through to the quarter-finals.

I believe the players of Red Bull Salzburg have already done their best even though they were thrashed by the scoreline of 7-1 by Bayern Munich yesterday, it was always not an easy task for any teams to beat Bayern Munich at the stadium of Allianz Arena. Manchester City had already scored 5 goals against Sporting Lisbon at the first leg between these two teams, I guess Manchester City will be able to beat Sporting Lisbon again today but this will be a low scoring match at the final whistle.
The comparison of the quality of the squad is a very clear difference that can be seen in that match, Bayern Munich which is filled with the best and very experienced players of course cannot be matched by Salzburg players, it seems that losing 7-1 is not something that Salzburg players should regret because they have tried their best, but it is clear that Bayern Munich is no match for them in the match. Manchester city has a 5 goal lead and it looks like today they will have an easy game and I'm sure that guardiola will field a second tier squad today to face sporting lisbon.
Right, anyway Salzburg did their best in the first leg and a big loss in the second leg is basically a reasonable result, considering Bayern Munich is a very crazy team because other strong teams from Europe still don't guarantee a win against Bayern Munich. About Manchester City in today's match I slightly agree, because a big 5-0 win in the first leg will make Manchester City will play more calmly here. But about the final score that will happen I think the possibility of winning big and small can still happen, depending on the players who will be played as well.

Bayern Munich evaporated their opponent last night.  Grin  I was expecting them to crush Salzburg but this result was more than I expected. A 7-1 win here was really amazing to watch. Lewandowski had a very solid day by making a hat-trick in the first 23 minutes of the game. This was the Bayern Munich that I wanted to see in this game certainly. Salzburg were just desperately trying to do something against this dominance but they couldn't. At least their first leg performance was decent.  Smiley
We have to agree that Bayern Munich are the top team in German league, they have all the best players in that league. When there's an exciting or super talented player in another team they try all they can to lure the player to join Bayern, so it's no wonder why they tend to trash and beat teams effortlessly. The best change most teams stand against Baryen munish is the defending as a unit and hope for luck, also hope they make too many mistakes.
Bayern munich are top of the German league , and gave Salzburg a horrible second leg experience but i won't still agree with the fact that they have all the best team. The first two goals changed the game. the first leg ended in a 1:1 draw and if those penalties never happened who knows Bayern might not have had all 7 goals in a single UEFA game

Real Madrid, on the other hand, wants to succeed hard. If Paris Saint-Germain play cautiously, they will pass the round. They don't have to rush, they will find open spaces when Real come over them. If they turn those positions into goals, it may be a more comfortable qualification than expected.
Strategically we will see what the results will be. Real Madrid's Leg 1 match was able to defend well even though at the end of normal time Mbappe managed to score a single goal for PSG's victory. I'm sure the match will run at a high tempo at the Bernabeu. Benzema and Vinicius Jr will be the players to overwhelm the PSG defense with the wonderful service provided by L. Modric.
Madrid will definitely win the match and will qualify for the next round of the highest European tournament.

Many Real Madrid fans still believe they can overcome PSG and go to the next round, but I believe this is unlikely because Real Madrid lacked the necessary team to compete against Paris. But, while I understand that anything can happen in football, I am still not persuaded that PSG will lose tonight, as I anticipated another PSG straight win.
Whether Real Madrid qualifies or not will depend on how prepared they are for the game. They may have an advantage owing that the fact that PSG have not really been in form. A run of two losses from their last three league matches just isn’t good enough and their stuttering form is something that will help Real Madrid. While Real Madrid is currently on an impressive run, having won each of their last three matches in La Liga. Also Carlos Ancelotti need to change his tactics for them to stand any chance of qualifying ahead of their opponents, because Real Madrid were very defensive in the first leg, they barely attacked and allowed PSG to have all the ball.  They need to push out more than they did in the first leg.

I think you chose Real Madrid wrong, I think Madrid will lose. Tonight at PSG, there will be a player who has always been a scourge for Real Madrid, namely Messi, even though he has changed clothes, Messi's aura has not faded. I think messi tonight will make Madrid's defense line frustrated against him. PSG will come out as the winner.

I agree with you bro, indeed the quality of a person has nothing to do with costumes and a team, messi is one of the players I idolize, being eaten every game does not disappoint me, the game is quite smooth and the strategy is good, I also see the match bro he was in barcelona and the teams he visited as stars and players who were quite respected, I think PSG will win with messi and other people on the team will make amazing matches, I see the history of some scoring goals
the reference here
at least give me some goals to make me smile in the match later

Inter Milan have been better team in both legs but there is no cutting edge or pace in behind the Liverpool line. I think that if inter Milan had proper forwards instead of Lautaro Martinez and Alexis, they probably would’ve scored 2 or 3 at least. Liverpool midfield was non existent and Inter Milan beat their press so easily. Inter players were playing at 100% and were absolutely exhausted physically and mentally. Add to that Alexis Sanchez’s red-card, Brozovic limping, Inzaghi decided to work for the 0-1 win instead. Inter did OK but Liverpool’s CL experience was there for all to see. There is an art to playing below your best and still going through comfortably.

I'm surprised if Liverpol loses. Their first leg was so strong, but their second leg lost momentum to win. Fortunately Liverpool were able to win the 2-0 first leg, otherwise it was unlikely the 2nd leg match would be until extra time. In addition Sanchez's red card after Martinez's goal certainly cost Inter, perhaps if they were still complete Inter's chances would be more. As for Liverpool the record of not losing as long as ucl must stop here. Liverpool now have a chance to win four titles this season.

Bayern Munich had a really disrespectful performance yesterday.  Cheesy  They just tore their competitor apart so badly that Salzburg were in an embarrassing situation at the end of the game. Getting a very heavy loss like 7-1 is definitely going to be unforgettable for them. But on the other hand, Salzburg already knew their competitior very well. They must have been prepared for every kind of a result in this game. And we also have been accustomed to seeing Bayern Munich doing this to many of their competitors so far.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Don't you know if history repeats itself, we should still expect more goals from Bayern, when Salzburg played draw with Bayern in the first match make people know that the second match will not be easy. Bayern like to trash some clubs in UCL. Only what I was surprised about was that Inter scored and won Liverpool in their second match, I was expecting Liverpool to at least score a single goal but Liverpool score none, if not for the first match, it would have been tough for Liverpool to qualify for the next round. Inter Milan will now have more focus on Seria A.
What Bayern displayed in yesterday's match proves that their performance can improve drastically. Bayern's players are difficult to predict, sometimes they are in conditions that don't even make a reversal of the situation. Salzburg could not move freely and only became a spectacle to be massacred. The quality of the Bayern players cannot be underestimated just because of a draw in Leg 1. And it was proven in Leg 2 with a goal difference that is quite difficult for Salzburg players to accept. Furthermore, Bayern will attract the attention of many people for their early achievements in the UCL.

Inter Milan were on the attacking side through out the night. The ball was a free ball, wasn't in Liverpool possession. Maybe Liverpool was playing for a draw, knowingly they had a 2-0 advantage on aggregate of their first leg win. Inter Milan on the other hand wanted to win but 1-0 win wasn't enough for them to advance. I was impressed with Inter Milan for playing as well as they did with 10men for a third of the game. Liverpool were just lucky, they would have been eliminated if it wasn't for Alexis Sanchez's red card. Alexis Sanchez was unlucky, he really did wanted his team to go through but not to be, they should now fully focus on the Scudetto.

Inter Milan proved many soccer pundits and analysts wrong having been given a very slim chances of defeating Liverpool at Anfield, however much credit should be given to them for playing an attacking football and a brilliant finishing by Martinez who curled the ball pass Alisson lead to their goal, though Liverpool hits the woodwork thrice which could have change the scoreline had they scored those scoring opportunities, however when Sanchez was sent off for a bad tackle, that reduced the chances of Inter scoring their second goal that could have possibly forced the match to extra time, they are quite unlucky.

Mbappe is playing today (that training injury wasn't serious after all) and Real is still tight-lipped regarding Kroos's availability. Considering that Casemiro is suspended, they will hope to have him alongside Modrić.

If Kroos cannot play, it will probably be a Modrić - Valverde - Camavinga trio - something PSG will look forward to playing against.

PSG are favorites tonight but they have lost 4 out of their 5 away games at the Bernabeu. I will bet on Real going through.

Messi, Neymar, Mbabpe will be ghosts for the Real Madrid camp tonight. the match between psg and real madrid seems to be a fake final that will take place tonight. I'm sure Messi will silence the entire bernabeu stadium tonight. in the history of Messi to be the top scorer against Real Madrid maybe he will score two beautiful goals at the Bernabeu tonight. not sure real madrid will give such a big fight tonight.

What I always find fascinating about Bayern is that when you think they are weakening, they then put in an absolutely terrific performance. Until before the game, I still thought Bayern wouldn't be one of the teams in the CL this season. But after this performance yesterday, I see them at least in the semifinals, if not in the final.

Why would you even think so? Munich dominated the group stage and scored 22 goals, this is the highest goals scored throughout the group stage and they have no reason to lose to Salzburg just because they got a draw on the 1st leg. They scored 7 goals on the 2nd leg and at the same time, sending signals to the other teams that they are back on the game

Shame Inter couldn't score a second goal. But their game still didn't look confident, strange that they could win this match at all, breaking Liverpool's unbeaten streak. Of course the red card probably played a cruel role but Liverpool did not give them an opportunity to strike. On the other hand, Bayern showed what they could do.

Liverpool played defensively in this match. In the first leg we saw Liverpool made a lot of attack. But Liverpool's main goal in this match was to qualify for the next round. And Liverpool did it. Winning or losing here is not a big fact. However, Liverpool has played better than Inter in this match as well. I didn't like their gameplay even after winning Inter Milan.

A result that surprised us a bit Liverpool lost at home but that's not the main point because Liverpool still qualify for the next stage
This is what we talked about before the game started when Liverpool's power was stopped by Inter with all its experience.
On the other hand Munich won big as we expected no wonder if Munich go to the semifinals or even to the final.

I was also surprised that Bayern managed to beat Salzburg in such a convincing way and in addition to that the game was really exciting to watch too. That being said though the final result of 7-1 for Bayern suggests that Salzburg had no chance at all over the entire game but this is not really the truth. The game started with 2 big chances, the first one for Bayern after less than a minute but then Salzburg also had a huge chance to score but Kingsley Coman managed to block the shot literally in the very last second or it would have been the lead for Salzburg and then it would have been a completely different game.
Still a great performance from Bayern overall maybe this was a kind of wake up call for them.
