Another interesting match I won't want to miss is Sporting Vs Manchester City. Sporting is currently at the 2nd position in their League. While City are leading in the Premier League. Manchester City have a better squad compared to that of Sporting, but I think Sporting will make the game tough for City to win. Also, sporting will be hosting the first leg. But, despite playing home, it won't be an easy task for them to resist City. Anyways, Let wait and see how it will eventually end. However, without doubt, am quite sure, Manchester City won't lose in the game.

Honestly, knowing Sporting well, I don't see him being able to play these amazing games. They can even provide an interesting spectacle, for being a young team and fighting with all their strength at all times of the game. But Man City won't have much trouble winning both games. One thing is for sure, Sporting's coach is not known for playing only defense. So he will certainly seek his luck, but he will hardly be able to surprise.

Even the greatest fan of Sporting does not expect a win against the leaders of the Premier League.If I remember correctly they beat PSG in the group stages and PSG is full of super star players like Messi,Neymar and co.There is no way that Sporting will get in the way now that we are in direct elimination stages of the tournament.Manchester City most likely will win and will close everything since the first game in Portugal,I am sure they won't risk it and leave it to solve in the return leg.This is without a doubt going to be a qualification further after the two leg games for Manchester City.

Both Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain will maximize their two meetings with wins. Because as you said, getting rid of the away goals system would have made the game more open to the hosts.
In this match I predict Paris Saint Germain will try to dominate the game. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will rely on a counter attack.

I actually expect it to be the other way around. PSG will try to counter with its fast players and Madrid will have to make the game.
I think it will be more interesting to see how Mbappe's personnel affects the game after it was announced today that it is almost fixed that he will play for Real next season.

I don't think that anything will play for a draw and both teams are going to play for the win. Because I know that oats teams would like to have an advantage going to the second leg. For PSG I think the first scenario is going to be to win a super first home match and then go for a draw in the second leg.

Based on the new rules, away goals do not give an advantage, it is in the interest of all teams to score the most goals in both matches.
Therefore, PSG and Real Madrid will try to score goals in both games and in turn avoid conceding goals.

Certainly the team that is more balanced to defend and attack, will have greater advantage.

If I'm not mistaken, in the first leg PSG, which will host the first, of course Real Madrid want to try to score goals so it won't be so heavy when in the second leg later, so the away match is not profitable unless more goals are created then if they play a draw later then I think it will be decisive for the match in the second leg.

It's hard to imagine how many goals will be created or without goals? I think their squad is great for us to see in the first game.
But I wonder how PSG's dream in the UCL this season will it work?

Maybe we could witness a similar draw to the PSG - Bayern Munich draw in last season. We watched a close competition between them and PSG hardly managed to advance to the next round. I believe that Real Madrid are as powerful as that Bayern Munich right now. And this means that they can make big difficulties for PSG in both games. And I hope so too. We are all expecting this draw to be exciting. PSG will need to make a great effort to be able to eliminate Real Madrid.

In any case, just the fact that the match will be held at the home stadium already gives Paris Saint-Germain some advantage. Also, let's not forget about the two-match format of the teams' confrontation, and if Real Madrid is quite satisfied with a draw in this match, then I think PSG will try to play for victory in any case. In any case, everything will be decided on the football field and the fact that Real Madrid will be quite satisfied with a draw does not mean that the club will play for a draw, because this is not quite in the nature of the team and the composition is strong enough. Therefore, we are waiting for a hard match with some caution from both clubs, because everything will probably be decided already in Madrid.

what you say is true, and also very strategically correct
your technical contribution and your analysis are very intelligent
however what is missing in this trio is a strong synergy, individually they are very strong but together?
Not always great champions manage to do well together, if they succeed they become unstoppable

Sometimes you do not need all three of them to be great together. We all know Neymar and Messi played together and if the two of them play a great game together where Mbappe is bad, then it will be fine and they could still score together, they could have a great play. We also know that Neymar and Mbappe have been playing together for a while as well, and they do have some chemistry which means that the two of them could play great and if Messi is not then it would be fine.

So, if 2 out of 3 plays amazing, they will be better than whatever Real Madrid throws at them, and they can win the game very easily. What the problem really is all about, is the fact that all three could play differently in an individual way and it could be very bad for the team. At least two of them need to work together and find a way to actually connect.

but in fact what I say
it's a waste and making great champions (everyone) work is much more difficult than putting a champion in a team of normal players. I mean this
you could make good plays, but how much does this "if" cost\

PSG are considered as the favourite and it is normal I guess. But neither bookmakers nor people should underestimate Real Madrid ever in this matchup. Real Madrid are having one of their greatest season in the recent times. And they want to take advantage of it as good as possible. Real Madrid wouldn't play timidly in Parc des Princes. They would even aim a win here to be more advantageous in the rematch. They are very dangerous in attacking and PSG should be cautious against them.

PSG are in great shape at the moment. One of the advantages of PSG is the composition of the players, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are among the best players in the world and any one of them can make a big difference to their team under the right circumstances.
Real Madrid performance in the 2021/2022 season is not much different from PSG, they were impressive in La Liga, topped the standings is evidence of increasing player confidence in Carlo Ancelotti. Players like Benzema, Kroos, Hazard, Casemiro, Valverde and Courtois have great qualities and can spoil PSG plans to advance to the next round. Although PSG are unbeaten this season at the Parc des Princes, Real Madrid maybe the first team to make PSG suffer their first defeat at home.

Maybe we could witness a similar draw to the PSG - Bayern Munich draw in last season. We watched a close competition between them and PSG hardly managed to advance to the next round. I believe that Real Madrid are as powerful as that Bayern Munich right now. And this means that they can make big difficulties for PSG in both games. And I hope so too.

This is the problem that happened there and actually when they played together I was very confident that I would be on their side, but what is happening now is the opposite because it seems they like to show off their individual skills rather than teamwork and it's not uncommon for this to happen. This selfishness finally made it difficult for their own team.
I will be very sure if things like this are not resolved soon then Madrid will definitely win

I never doubted these three players who were already unquestionable in their individual skills. but indeed the problem of ego and play which tends to prioritize their individualistic skills is still evident in some PSG matches and this could be a boomerang for them.
maybe there are some weaknesses in real madrid especially when they attack which often forgets their defense area but in terms of cohesiveness I still believe in the midfield and front line of Real madrid

Because they want to appear or be in the spotlight, this is for the future. we all know Mbappe is Real Madrid's target, they won't be interested anymore when he playing badly and not consistent. Pochetino must look at situations, that are possible on forwarding in centerfield. if they want to win, the ball supply must be on Messi or Neymar and forwarding into Mbappe. I don't find the Madrid problem, maybe a defensive midfielder has to be active for this time.

Yes, ego has been a problem for these 3. I have seen clips where Mbappe was clear of defenders but Neymar didn't pass him just because he wanted to score himself and missed the goal.

Maybe that's not the case for Messi as he is a great team player. So the chemistry among these 3 needs to be really good, both in and outside the field. And I don't think Real Madrid's defense is a big problem as maybe they can ask Éder Militão to work a bit heavier than other times in the defense.

From their 6 meetings, Real Madrid have an advantage over Paris Saint-Germain, but this is a different situation. In the Champions League, I see Real Madrid is not an easy team to beat. They can always come back with a win.
They have a very good attack creator, moreover their counter attack is unquestionable. Although it won't be easy, I predict Real Madrid will come out victorious.

Hopefully you are right and Real Madrid can come out victorious at the end of this season in the Champions League, although other teams also always play very well in every game in the Champions League because this is the highest caste in all other Leagues, so each team needs to improve their way of playing here during the round of 16.

Yes, at least they can beat Paris Saint-Germain and go to the next round. But to talk about who will lift the Champions League Trophy this season is too early. Because other teams also have the same opportunities. Especially looking at Bayern Munich, for the past few seasons Munich has always been one of the strong candidates to win the Champions League title.

it's like that because sometimes showing yourself is good enough, but sometimes there's something bad about the results you get.
I think indeed when they put their egos aside I feel they will be good enough but for now I am still on the real madrid side for the league now.
on the other hand i also see this poche in formulating strategy at PSG sometimes it's too monotonous and the formation is just like that so I feel they should be able to make at least a good surprise to make a breakthrough for madrid

Psg still complaining? When the have a 7 times balon d'or award winner among them? Leonel Messi has what it takes to make yet another history in that club and can move then into winning the French leauge as many time as possible, it all depends on how and which player is paired with Leo Messi in his wing ; if the ball is in circulation, Messi would have a lot of privileges and as we all know, if he has three opportunities for a goal, he atleast scores one .
Neymar on the other side is very good and only needs those passes in circulation with which he can make goals outta them too....Mbbape is leaving the team soon and for now as you said, Madrid is targeting him
