Real Madrid is in trouble anyway. Being 1-0 down against PSG is tough because their offense is so strong. Having Mbappe, Neymar and Messi against you in a game that allows for PSG to play counter attacks is really difficult to pull off. I guess that even in the second leg Real will play a very strategic game and try to be patient. They can also turn things around in a late game.
Attacking, controlling the game without forgetting to defend, I think this will be Real Madrid's strategy. Because if they just played like they did in the first leg, they would really lose. We cannot deny that Paris Saint-Germain are a good team and they are reinforced with star names. At least they have to catch up with one goal first. After that they will play comfortably.

Kroos seems to be injured. Would not actually be good news for Real Madrid...

Even more so for himself. I hope he is going to be healthy. He has a great character and is a great player. Would be sad if he can't support the team and they actually lose the game then. Other than that I would be happy to see PSG advance as well just out of curiosity to see how far they can make it against Man City or Bayern Munich or Liverpool, should it come to those match ups.

Benzema was not completely healthy in the first leg. Yet he was present on the field. And we saw the poor performances of Benzema and Real Madrid. Kross is an important player for Real Madrid. If he is not in the team, Real Madrid will get in trouble again. Real Madrid lost the first match. So there is no option to win the home match against PSG. PSG's gameplay is excellent now. Winning this match will not be easy.

Inter are definitely a big club and there is no doubt about it. They are one of the strongest clubs in the Serie A now. But they are in a really desperate situation in the Champions League currently. Because they already lost their home match by 2-0 in the first leg. And in Anfield, I see a low chance for Inter to even draw with Liverpool. We all know how much Liverpool are dominating their home matches this season. They are always eager to win in this kind of matches no matter what. And they will do so in this match too I think.

I think that Inter dosent stand a chance. I think honestly they cannot score so many goals and win on one of the most heated stadiums in the world. Inter will not only get knocked out but i think they will lose hard in England aswell. Liverpool is in an amazing form and Inter isnt close to their level at all
Agree with what you said, Now I still feel that their aggregate will increase rather than decrease in Leg 2 later.
Liverpool can now be said to be the complete package on all fronts. Their defenders and midfielders are very strong. The forwards shouldn't be asked how strong they are either.
Sane, Salah, Firmino, Jota and Diaz have no doubts about their ability to mess up defences. Inter are definitely very difficult in this match because I'm pretty sure they will again be forced to stay in this match

The second leg of the Champions League is now only a few days away but in my opinion there are already several teams that are certain to qualify now like Chelsea, Liverpool and City.
Even though there is some speculation about them but I am very sure these 3 teams will definitely qualify because apart from being superior in terms of players they are also now superior in terms of Aggregate which makes it difficult for their opponents at this time.
With a result like this, I'm actually quite sure that the UCL Trophy will be brought back by the EPL club this season
The three PL teams managed to win quite convincingly in the first leg of the champions league, I think both teams (Inter Milan and Lille) still have a small chance of qualifying, I think maybe Intermilan and Lille will be able to surprise us all and maybe later They will make a comeback in the 2nd leg match, in my opinion the only PL team that can be certain that they have already qualified is Manchester City at this time, because it seems impossible for sporting to score 6-0   to Manchester City goal in the second leg.
The possibility is always there but it's pretty slim.
Have to win against Liverpool and Chelsea at home by 3 points or maximize chances by just 2 points to win. Penalty seems to be a bit difficult for Inter and Lille although the opportunity is still quite open but with their current form I personally doubt they can do that the.
Anfield and Stamford Bridge are not friendly places to visit and for sure the atmosphere of support will be very unfriendly too and this can at least intimidate the players from Inter and Lille I think

The one who wins a lot of goals in the first leg will obviously get a chance to qualify, especially in the second leg all clubs will work hard to get better, but Manchester City already has strong capital to ensure that they qualify for the next round because they have beaten their opponents. by scoring more goals in the previous match and in the second leg later Manchester City just need to maintain their performance so that not many goals are scored against them.
Not only City, even 2 other EPL clubs can be said to be strong candidates for qualification because Liverpool and Chelsea are also doing the same thing.
On the other hand, their performance is still quite good compared to their opponents.
In the 2nd Leg later for City, I even feel that I will not work too hard, even though the match will still be run but having to win against a club like City by pursuing an aggregate of 5 goals is not an easy thing to do
After end of first 1st phase of this knock out stage three English clubs are in very good position for going into quarter-final and Manchester United is also having some fair chance for qualifying because they are currently doing some better in Champions League instead of Premier League and this is good plus point for them with first league end in draw and both teams score 1 - 1 which is not bad for them now they need to do play with some better strategy.

Because, it's very important for them to keep cool and done some good against Atletico Madrid in home game which is also having some bad time in La Liga and trying their best for jump into top four for better and secured entry for next season.

Inter Milan just got a big win in their domestic league I think it will be a reference and addition to their mentality to face Liverpool, even though they are 2 goals behind I think anything is still possible even though the chances for Inter Milan are very small. I think this match is going to be tough again.

on the other hand Bayern need a win I think they will get it easily, Salzburg is not a strong opponent for Bayern who have a better composition of players, in the first leg Bayern were just unlucky, they attacked a lot but failed to score a and managed to control the game with well, the goal came only in the last minute of the game to avoid Bayern from losing, from the whole game Bayern played very well, and when the second leg will be played at Bayern I believe Bayern will win big.
Beating the last team in the Serie A versus beating Liverpool are not similar in any way. I am not saying that it is not even remotely close, of course having some momentum and some happiness could be great but at the end of the day morale could help you until so much. Just because they got a win doesn't mean that they will get another win and another win constantly like that.

It means that we need to realize maybe betting on Inter may not be a great idea. Do not listen to me and decide accordingly, I am nobody and you should never wager based on what you read online, that is a stupid thing to do, I am only sharing my own view and only responsible for my own results, you should try to predict it yourself.

yes I agree with you about sporting Lisbon it is impossible to turn things around with Manchester city. but with Manchester City winning the Champions League I think it's too early to talk about it, maybe Manchester city can be so dominant in their domestic league, but I think they are very difficult to get to the Champions Final even to become Champions I think it's difficult, the reason I was in Manchester City don't have the mentality to win the Champions League.

Unfortunately, Sporting already before the elminitoria started, they already had the consciencia that they would not be able to fight against Man City. It is a very young and inexperienced team in international competitions, in this case in the Champions League.

Despite this, and having conceded 5 goals, it was noted that they always looked for something from the game, they did not limit themselves to defending. In the second leg the game should be similar, with Man City playing players who play less, but the result will still be the victory.
I read in a news forum that 2022 UEFA champions league final will be held at Stade de France in Paris and not in Moscow and final will be played on 28 May. am I late in sharing this new? and that Russian and Ukrainian clubs and national teams competing UEFA will be required to play their home matches at the neutral venues. I am just thinking how will team respond to each other players.

well it is old news... anyway, taking away the games from the Russians is a section, but for Ukraine it's all about safety. How would any team be willing to plan a game Ukraine during these times? You don't even know whether there is any hotel left over in weeks from now... It's the right decision in the best interest of anyone's safety.
That is very right, I doubt what will be affect of this war in coming days. What to talk of hotel when there will not be any any place for people to live. On the other hand Mr Joker Putin says the war is going according to the plan - as if the super power have license to attack and kill anyone they feel like killing. And that all the right thing you mentioned - Safety first.

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.
The Liverpool event has been highly anticipated. Moreover, we know-how so far Liverpool has shown its existence which is increasing day by day. And to continue Leg 2 this time, penetrating with a scoring advantage seems like it will be more fun against Inter. I really hope that Liverpool's formation will be completely complete with core players who are not absent, as well as Inter.
Followed by Bayern Munich vs Salzburg, being the toughest bet for Salzburg players to be able to get past Bayern, especially after the results in the first leg with a draw, inevitably the two will compete with each other. But not for Liverpool who could be calmer.

I think that Liverpool is going to have a really easy time against Inter in the second leg. They already have a quite comfortable lead and I don't think they are going to waste it. But, I am not sure if playing the best eleven will be the best choice for Inter because let's be honest this match is gone for them and they also have to concentrate on their own League.

And Bayern Munich vs Salzburg match should be an easy win for Bayern Munich. I don't see the match ending in any other way.
This is what I have been thinking as well, it is going to be very difficult for Inter to win the game against Liverpool with such a disadvantage, does not it makes more sense for them to just concentrate on the their league and just accept they will not win the champions during this year? They do not have to make it as obvious, for example they could begin the game with their starters but if during the first 30 minutes they do not score they could begin to rest their stars, and what if they happen to score during those 30 minutes? Then obviously under those circumstances they could actually try to qualify.

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.
I think still not yet for Bayern Munich already qualifier to quarter final because first leg held by Salzburg and they will face on second leg with have 50% opportunity each other team. Between Salzburg and Bayern Munich have the same chance although Bayern advantage with playing home, but looks different with Liverpool could guarantee qualifier to quarter final because first leg success defeated Inter Milan at Giuseppe Meazza and second leg on Anfield Stadium will make easy with support by fans.
Inter Milan just got a big win in their domestic league I think it will be a reference and addition to their mentality to face Liverpool, even though they are 2 goals behind I think anything is still possible even though the chances for Inter Milan are very small.

Inter did win the match in their own League but I really doubt their ability to win against Liverpool. I mean let's be real, they won against a team which is at the absolute bottom of the table. And we are comparing that team to Liverpool who already have a 2 goal lead. Just pointless.

Actually,  Salzburg is quite an easy opponent for Bayern. If the result of this match goes the other way I will be really surprised.

Kroos seems to be injured. Would not actually be good news for Real Madrid...

Even more so for himself. I hope he is going to be healthy. He has a great character and is a great player. Would be sad if he can't support the team and they actually lose the game then. Other than that I would be happy to see PSG advance as well just out of curiosity to see how far they can make it against Man City or Bayern Munich or Liverpool, should it come to those match ups.

Benzema was not completely healthy in the first leg. Yet he was present on the field. And we saw the poor performances of Benzema and Real Madrid. Kross is an important player for Real Madrid. If he is not in the team, Real Madrid will get in trouble again. Real Madrid lost the first match. So there is no option to win the home match against PSG. PSG's gameplay is excellent now. Winning this match will not be easy.
Yeah Kroos injured may not be play and will be replaced by youngster Eduardo Camavinga, PSG is not an opponent to be underestimated, after all at the club there is a mainstay sticker and the defender is also classy. It's not easy for Real Madrid to win games, but anything can happen because opportunities can come at any minute so let's enjoy this game later.

Hm, Even if they still draw but I still don't have any doubts for Bayern in this second leg, Their chances are still very big and of course this is thanks to the quality of the players and the quantity they play.
Sarzburg can hold them off but the second leg now will feel different because it is certain that Naglesmann will let this end easily for Sarzburg.

I think that in the optimal composition, when the Vinicius-Benzema combination plays in Real Madrid, the attack of Real Madrid is at least as good as that of PSG. I don't remember saying otherwise, maybe I put it wrong (or you misunderstood). As for the result, when two strong clubs meet (and not Bayern - Salzburg for example), any result is not surprising.
To think that ANY trio would be better than "neymar-mbappe-messi" trio is delusional. I mean we are talking about the three amazing players here that would be hard to compete against in any situation and it would be near impossible to catch them even if you spent a billion dollars to build a club. And we have other players there and behind them that could replace and make it closer.

Like for example, if you put di maria there, instead of neymar, then you could be closer, or if you remove mbappe and put someone else then it could be closer, but when we are talking about these three at the same time then the talent level just exceeds anything we have seen since neymar-messi-suarez trio (weird they have the same two).

Nonsense. This is all fan fiction far from reality. Neymar is never close to the top, the most overrated player in history, current form is unclear due to injury. Messi is an age-old player from another team and a different playing scheme who has not been able to adapt to the club for a whole season. Mbappe - no questions, a promising and talented player who in the future (in the future but not now) can become a genius.
Best trio? Not even close.
