Bookmakers are not giving even any chance for Salzburg as it seems. Bayern Munich have an odd around 1.15 while Salzburg are having around 15 now. And I understand why they are underestimating Salzburg too. Because Bayern Munich didn't show their real strength against Salzburg. They just wanted to keep it for the second leg. And we will definitely see it in this game. Salzburg should have won the first leg somehow to have more chance for next round. But they have not much right now. It would have been epic if they eliminated Bayern Munich. I'm talking like it has already ended because I believe it has.  Smiley

We really hope that in the next match of UCL Man United vs Atletico Madrid, Hopefully, Ronaldo can play again in excellent condition and completely healthy. Ronaldo's absence certainly had a big impact on Man United.
I also hope the same, Ronaldo must play in the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid. If Man United cannot release Ronaldo, I suspect Man United will be defeated again with big scores. We must be aware if Atletico Madrid has been playing better lately, they even can beat Betis with 2 goals difference. Man United will be in trouble if Ronaldo is still injured.

Cristiano Ronaldo, yes that name is always mentioned when the team he strengthens will play in the Champions League. I think that the burden is felt on Ronaldo's shoulders, especially now that Manchester United which he plays for is not a good team overall. I think the fans are just hoping for him to come into the game, at least there is hope when he plays in the Champions League with all his experience.
It's a huge burden for Ronaldo to bear when fans expect something from him. Manchester United is still slumped in terms of performance, it is quite difficult to say Manchester United can beat Atletico at Old Trafford. But if it happened thanks to Ronaldo single goal or Ronaldo contribution was very good, it would be Manchester United's victory, but if United lost, Ronaldo himself would bear the burden.

Bayern Munich - Salzburg

Bayern Munich will have difficulties once again when playing against Salzburg, Salzburg was an unstoppable team in the Austrian championship, they will be a big obstacle to Bayern Munich that this season has not been a team to win games constantly and has not managed to score many goals constantly

I dont see so many people here talking about of the injury of Ronaldo.
Seems like they save him for the UCL game against Atletico, if Cristiano dont play, i think Manchester United its out of the contest.
The manchester seem to play good whitout him , but in this kind of games you need the UCL man and his goals, more against the Atletico.
If christiano Ronaldo don't play the game against atletico it may really affect Manchester united,  I don't think if Manchester will easily win the game. Ronaldo been Manchester united is affect the team positively. Do not if the injury he is having will keep him long not to participate in to matches around the corner.

Ronaldo has injury that is why he didn't play against City. What is the essence or the reason to save Ronaldo for champions league when man u is not sure that they can come to the same champions league next season. Manchester United chances of being in the top4 become slimmer after their woeful loss against Manchester City. If we are talking about the champions league we should understand that things are changed now. Many things don't work as we expect again

I think that Bayern Munich and Liverpool are already one of the qualifiers for the quarter finals now. I remember that Bayern Munich had a really big difficulty in getting a draw against Salzburg in the first leg. But this shouldn't be misleading at the same time. Because there is a huge power difference between these teams. And in Allianz Arena, I'm sure that Bayern Munich will prove my words right. And Liverpool already sealed the deal in Giuseppe Meazza by 2-0. There is no way they are losing in Anfield.

Liverpool are qualifiers already but that of Bayern Munich can't be certain, as for Liverpool's their form currently are top notch and they also have the goal difference advantage and a good record at Anfield so it's unlikely for them to lose. While Bayern Munich are superior to Salzburg but still lets not forget too soon that they almost lost their first game against Bayern until they equalized at the last minute of the game.

What is been played here is football and there's no assurance of one team defeating the other not minding their playing power. Bayern Munich need to come into this game like the losing side and fight from the very first minutes to get as many goals as possible and they should be early to kill what ever motivation Salzburg has coming into the games. Anything that make the first half to end draw or goalless then Bayern Munich has a problem.

Yeah, it is football and everything can happen any time. But I just approached to the situation from a different aspect. I think that Bayern Munich wanted to play safe and that's why they struggled to get a decent result. Salzburg could even beaten them by 2-0 if Adamu didn't miss literally an absolute goal chance. I really don't have any idea why Bayern Munich chose to play like that. But in the rematch, I'm expecting to see a completely different team. Normally Salzburg are no match for them and I believe that they will prove me right here.

Should be smooth sailing tomorrow - we have a good result, are a much better team, they are in a slump in form and need to concentrate on the league and their most influential player (Barella) is suspended.
Still - they did cause us some problems in the 1st leg and we need to address those.

The main question for tomorrow is whether Salzburg can shock Bayern. They were close to it in the 1st game, they will have even more space to counterattack in Germany.

I wish you a good time LFC_Bitcoin, I think you will enjoy the victory of Liverpool and advance to the next stage! I expect a spectacle and goals on both sides, Inter will not just give up and after the debacle in the first game I think they will manage to score at least one goal, but I think Liverpool goes further and it's definitely a favorite in this game!

Salzburg can hardly shock Bayen in the middle of Munich! They were close in the first game and even managed to play a draw, but it's still Bayern, I think they will beat Salzburg tomorrow!

Liverpool to win and both teams to score, Bayern vs Salzburg 1 - 1!

Three days to go for the Real Madrid - PSG game. PSG are keeping their advantage as they won the first game by 1-0. Real Madrid are still a very strong team and one of the candidates for the title also. I expect them to play really great in their home game this time. They would play fearlessly against PSG and wouldn't like to give up on the Champions League easily. They are a very experienced team in this tournament which is a big threat to PSG. But we will see if this experience will really help them advance to next round.

Hopefully, I wouldn't have bet on PSG in the previous match, but now I think it's a likely candidate to beat the Real Madrid tank.
Let's hope it's a good match.
I also expected Real Madrid to draw strength on the experience, but it did not happen.

Big game anyone will watch this match.
PSG of course already have 1 goal in the first leg and Real Madrid must take advantage at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid is stronger then it has a chance to qualify in the next round, because the match will definitely be balanced but I don't think it will end in a draw.
There is a possibility that I also bet on Real Madrid the Real Madrid squad will work hard to score more goals and to be honest I'm really looking forward to this match.

It was not only the injury factor that overshadowed the players, one of which was Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe they wanted to go further in the UCL competition considering that Manchester United only drew in the first leg at the Vicente Calderon, moreover Atlético Madrid is a Spanish giant that Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends should be wary of considering that Atletico Madrid often surprises them in their away matches.one of which is in the BBVA league match against Real Betis, maybe it can be a motivation when they meet Manchester United in old Trafford, thus making Rangnick rest his players to face Atletico Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo missing on last night derby with Manchester City after Ralf Rangnick confirmed about his player got injury, still not have any confirmation yet will Cristiano Ronaldo already for champion league match against Atletico Madrid on UEFA champion league? I think Cristiano Ronaldo need to be Manchester United line up player on champion league because without him looks hard how to beat Atletico Madrid after last night destroy by Manchester City without him on the line up team. I think draw score on first leg looks not easy for Manchester United and get bad performance after defeating by City.
Manchester United played very badly in the derby against Man City but I think the UCL game will be different and I believe Ronaldo will play for the game against Atletico Madrid, if Ronaldo does not play then I say it is almost impossible for them to win the game.
What must be remembered is that Ronaldo has always been a frightening figure for Atletico Madrid when playing in the UCL stage, both when Ronaldo was with Real Madrid and Juvetus.
f Ronaldo is in the main line-up for Manchester United I think they will be able to win this game.

Ronaldo cannot beat Atletico alone without good teamwork. A football is a team game, not an individual game. Ronaldo's presence on the pitch can increase the players' confidence, but can't guarantee a win for Manchester United.
Atletico is not an easy opponent to beat, Diego Simeone's men just beat Real Betis 1-3. While disappointing results obtained by Manchester United after being humiliated by Man City with a score of 4-1.

Atletico Madrid are unlikely to win against Manchester United. Did you see United's performance against Manchester City yesterday? United lost 4-1. Performance was very poor. Atletico Madrid are in very good form now. They have won the last 3 matches in La Liga. On the other hand, Manchester United is not performing well as a team. I would expect Madrid to win this match.

In first league match PSG secure win and this is good advantage for them, but now they are going to play at Real Madrid home which is not easy for them, so they need to have very positive for this game because here win can give them big boost for this year double as they are already French League leaders and their dream is Champions League cup, so this match can be maker or breaker for them in this all process. In last few matches they are losing against French League teams and have no good chances for goals and on other side Real Madrid is doing very aggressive game with some good number of goals, hopefully we will have some very entertaining game from these both sides for spot of quarter-final spot.
The Champions League match is a completely different matter and the motivation here will be of a completely different kind than the motivation for the domestic championship games. The advantage over the rest of the Ligue 1 clubs still remains huge and a loss to Nice can just spoil the mood of the players a little, but it should not have any other meaning, or even on the contrary, shake up the team a little and throw off even a small shadow of good-nature and calmness on the team's face. It is perfectly clear to everyone what the main goal of Paris Saint Germain as a football project is, and the main goal is to win the Champions League.

Correct, but PSG really has zero pressure to win any of the left games in Ligue 1. They'd rather try not to get injured and there is no doubt that PSG played an astonishing first leg against Real in the CL. Real themselves said that the best on that evening was that the result only was a 1-0. It could have been much much worse.

PSG only played for the draw, they were "comfortable" thinking they had control of the game and didn't expect to concede a goal from Nice at the end of the second half, now they have to run after the damage.
This was the last match of the team before the 'decision' against Real Madrid, for the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Will this defeat influence players' moods for the next game?

100% no!

Imagine you were on PSG's team, how much would it mean to you to win against Nice when shortly after you have the chance to eliminate Real Madrid in the Champions League? As I said above, I would definitely not give my everything I guess. You don't want to get injured, you want maximum regeneration.

Doesn't mean you should play like an amateur, but I can still understand when somebody doesn't give 200% in such a game when your team is essentially the champion anyway.
