It's Champions League Semi-Final tonight, we are just few step ahead to decide which team will go closer to their first ever ULC glory.

This match is going to be exciting since nothing won yet by both sides. Either ways it goes, I just wanna enjoy the beautiful game. Its players performance that will determine the winner of this game. Manchester City may shine tonight. Nevertheless, As a PSG fan I believe in Neymar and Mbappè and no wonder if PSG will be on display tonight.

Mbappe may not play today, he has a muscle injury and his participation is questionable. If he doesn't play today, PSG will missed him. But I think that Manchester City will not lose today and will reach the Champions League final without any problems. They showed their superiority over their opponents well in the away match.

I'm curious whether today's game will be interesting or whether Manchester City will play the game dry. It's going to be really hard for PSG to turn the game and I don't think they can it.

He is not just a goalscorer.. he has an aura around him..which defenders gravitate towards as he is such a scoring threat. Also, he creates goals out of nothing as well. If I had to compare current premier league strikers. I would say Harry Kane but Drogba is a lot more physical. Chelsea does miss that for quite some time. Giroud does the job pretty well but sometimes it doesnt feel like he's getting enough supply towards him.

Agreed, even if not a fan. My favourite Reds player of all time (again, very much a personal bias and because I played in his position) was Carragher and if there was one man Carra couldn't mark at all it was Drogba. Think he even said once he got nightmares from playing against him, so that's a huge nod of respect to the Ivorian Coast guy. I don't think any Chelsea or Liverpool fan will forget THAT goal he chested down while being marked, swivel and lash with weaker foot and goal. Carra just shrugged. Reina just shrugged. Impossible to defend.

The big day has come! Cheesy

We will watch an extraordinary rematch I believe. Manchester City have a really big advantage here. I don't expect them to play a shy football against PSG to just maintain the aggregate. I expect them to attack with everything they've got. So, PSG should really be careful if they want to eliminate City. In my opinion, City will finish the job here even if they have big difficulties.

My guess
Man City vs PSG 2-0 for Man City.
Chelsea vs Madrid 0-1 for Madrid. Grin

This is a very good prediction and I think there should be more goals; Pep Man city were able to deny psg runners space in the first leg of the tie, will there be a repeat of that? Manchester city has a 2 goal away advantage and I think pep won’t misuse that; a 3-2 win for pep

Chelsea tie with Real Madrid is a game where anything can happen, Tuchel will continue his 6 men behind the ball defense while trying to score on the counter, while Zidane would hope Kroos, Modric can dictate play for Real Madrid to score n win; what are your likely predictions for this tie ?

I think a Real Madrid vs Manchester City final would be good

I agree! I would just say that PSG would still be able to score 1 goal.
And so, the result would be 3-1 for Man City.

Hazard is struggling with match fitness he may likely start from the bench we saw it from the first leg, Hazard is a kind of player who can decide the outcome of a game on his own but ever since he moved to Madrid it's been a hell show for him, at this point, I do not believe he can do anything spectacular against Chelsea in the second leg. Chelsea need to score first to make it impossible for Madrid.

When Madrid against Osasuna Hazard appeared from the first half, even though he didn't look like he was in the beginning, he helped Real Madrid win 2-0. Even though he was substituted at the last minute. In leg 2 it's a bit difficult, even though Ramos has returned from injury, a draw is not enough. They have to score 1 goal without conceding. I wish Madrid luck tomorrow, Zidane the best coach I hope he can make a difference in England later.

Too many cracks, if and buts on Real Madrid at the moment. Given the team´s budget and history, there should not even be a trace of doubt on a result with a team such as Osasuna. >The fact that we are even taking bout this means that there is a persistent weakness in the team and the way it is managed. Zidane is top class, so I cannot figure out what is happening for this team and the leadership.

Mbappè is rumored to skip the second leg game with PSG.
If this will be the truth I think PSG will have a very low chance to beat Manchester City with a useful result.

Remember they need to win with 2 goals advantage in England not an easy task without their best player.

I agree. His illness will prevent him from being chosen to play. Man city is a strong for many years even though previous years, they are not capable to go further. This is their chance to join the final

PSG still has a chance to turn the table. Mbappe is a star but in order to become a champion, a team needs to stick together flexibly and if Pochetino can clue members with his plan and "pep talk", it will be an easy task to defeat the strongest team of premier league

Mbappe missed the Lens game but was training individually. I expect him to be involved in the game, at least from the bench. Even then he can make a big influence, because he'd be fresh and would be attacking tired defenders.

The problem for PSG will be the same as in the 1st game - taking control in midfield. With City having a good result from the 1st game, they can play even safer, with more possession and will probably play with De Bruyne in attack again to have that safe passing option when he'll be dropping deep.

I feel City are strong favorites tonight, PSG needs an early goal.

Night where we will see a great game!
I think there will only be goals in the second half, and throughout the game the two teams will cancel each other out while trying to score a goal.

For me, Man City should win, but if PSG manage to score a goal early in the game, then they will have chances. Otherwise, for me, Man City will go to the final.

If all matches are as same as predictions, gamblers will win all bets. And casinos will not have enough money to pay for gamblers.

If all matches end with no surprise, Manchester City or PSG would have won many Champions League with their huge transfers and many stars in squad.

I would like to see a win 3 - 2 for PSG and a final match for them. I would like to see Manchester City have a new era with a new coach. Pep stays in Etihad for many seasons and they need changes to refresh the club.

They have to score at least 2 goals without scoring a goal. Kylian Mbappe is a very important footballer for Paris SG. If he could play, there were more opportunities to beat the round. However, if he can't play, Paris's chances for the match are very difficult.

We will see all the possibilities tonight.

Mbappe is important for PSG but PSG played well in the first half of the first leg without much contribution from Mbappe. They can do same without Mbappe in the second leg.

It seems Mbappe does not have good fitness with what I saw from his arrival in Manchester. If PSG scores first in the second leg, they will create panic for Manchester City.

You cannot judge PSG has no chance to win as long as they still have 11 players on the field. There will be another player to replace Idrissa Gueye, probably a midfielder who is more aggressive in attacking. Yep, I am pretty sure that PSG will make a strategy to be more aggressive in attacking and Mbappe must be there if he isn't injured. If Man City cannot defend solidly, PSG must have a chance to make 2 goals and defeat them. So, it is still not impossible to beat Man City as long as PSG still desires to qualify to the final stage.

PSG and Manchester City are strong teams and their players even substitutions can make differences. Manchester City will play at their home stadium but I am curious that how Pep will make his decisions for Manchester City squad in the second leg. In Champions League, any mistake by coach or players will be punished and sometimes such mistake will cause a serious defeat.

In direct big clash like this pair, and in semi final round, such mistake will be very serious. Pep is a coach who wants to make everything as perfect as possible and some failures of Manchester City in Champions League have contributions from Pep.

Manchester City will be able to secure the aggregated result and take a position in the final match if Pep won't make stupid perfection-obsessed decisions for Manchester City squad.

@hd49728 with or without Mbappe I feel that PSG will struggle to win, because of Pep tactics as he’s brilliant when it comes to these big matches. Also I don’t think that Poch can outsmart Pep in his own background, but if he does I’ll be very happy as I don’t want to see ManCity win the champions league.
