I think Real can win Chelsea without Ramos! Grin

Although the news of his return is very great indeed! By the way, the odds on a Real Madrid win is 3.4, which is very interesting! Wink

I guess I'll take my chances and make that bet!

Hopefully madrid can win at Stamford Bridge. Especially if Ramos is able to perform, they will be more confident. In leg 1 Varane did not perform optimally because he was alone, leg 2 hopefully their defense will be better. Although I think Real Madrid's chances are few, I believe Real Madrid can win at home Chelsea. Zidane had to dare to attack from the early minutes. They also have to make a goal first to make Chelsea mentally down.

Ramos playing in the 2nd leg will boost the confidence of the team and Real Madrid is the favourite to pass to the final game. Dunno why odds are @3.4 while Chelsea @2.1 but for sure bookies are underestimating Real Madrid.. They are waiting for 0-0? It won't happen imo.

Real - Manchester City is gonna be the final IMO.
Real wants to get consolidate the stellar positioning they have as the award competition winning team (no other team is near them with Champions Leauge) while City is ready to become the next top team in Europe for the next 5 years (which is usually the max cycle for a given team).
Man City is my fav at the moment.

Sergio Ramos returns from injury for the 2nd leg against Chelsea. Only El Capitano can save us from oil cheats Manchester City & Fraudiola taking the CL title.

It's great news for Real Madrid then. He is a crucial player for this team and I believe that they felt his absence in the first leg. Chelsea should be really aware of this threat. They should get better at defending the corner kicks in the rematch. Or it's very likely that Ramos can score a header. Grin

Real Madrid is the most corrupt club in the world they've been paying high fees for players and bribing the champions league plus individual awards to their players even before Mancity and PSG came in to limelight.

Do you have concrete evidence or just speculation? If there are such facts, then you can become famous all over the world by submitting them to the appropriate authorities or at least to the press. You are missing the chance to become famous.

After PSG conceded the first goal, they immediately began to play nervously, there was more aggression, and this never leads to a good result, and as a result - a red card. I think that PSG has very few chances of reaching the final.

i remember some game, like Bayern Monaco vs Manchester United or
Manchester United vs Juventus FC

one team lead the game all the match, but at end

lose the match!

in last games of big competition, nothing is sure.. PSG is not experienced but is strong (for this reason is nervous)

for me have chance to pass this round

But this is only half, hopefully there will be changes in the second leg later.

Truth is the second leg of the champions league is filled with several excitements and there could be any kind of results because neither Manchester city, Chelsea, PSG nor Real Madrid are assured of a place in the champions league final. PSG has so many to play for likewise toothless Real Madrid. Who do you reckon gets to the final?

This is true. This round is totally open. Any team is still able to pass.
Just one day inspired by the players of a team, for the result to be possible.
I believe that the second leg will bring games with real football spectacle. The teams will give everything, because they all know that they have real possibilities of reaching the final.

The second leg match is certain that all teams will play all out, because the 4 remaining teams are very ambitious to qualify for the finals.
Indeed, it must be admitted that the most likely to qualify is Manchester City, because they won the away game and it was a very good result.
The most difficult to predict were Real Madrid and Chelsea, because the first leg ended in a draw, this made the second leg even more difficult
to predict. But I still predict that there will be an all england final.

PSG should have themselves to blame for not having a clinical finish, you don't miss clear-cut scoring chances at this semi-final stage this is not a group stage match, Neymar has been the major culprit here once you missed your chances your opponent will take advantage of it and punish you, that was what played out yesterday Man City utilized their chances and scored their goals while a red card to GANA compounded PSG problems, however Man City can still redeem their image in the second leg if they up their game its not over yet.

I do believe that PSG played as well as they can, they played hard as well, they were tackling hard, they were marking their man very well, they were pressure very well, they were defending even on City defense lines, so they did everything they could. Sometimes there are times when you are just unlucky and there is nothing you can do about it, this is just coincidence and that's about it. This is why there is nothing they could have done, it is just pure unlucky situation and that's it.

City played well too by the way, not like it was an undeserving win for them neither, they were totally fine and I believe it will probably be City that goes up as well, that is still keeping its probability, however PSG wasn't to blame here, City is just a very good team and PSG was just unlucky when you combine these two things together that happens to be the result in the end.

Manchester City did a great job yesterday, from losing in the first half to winning the match. It seem Manchester City is going to win the CL. From yesterday's match, I think PSG don't have any hope in winning the Champion League. Because they can't beat Manchester City in the returning match.

Manchester City have not won the Champion league since it was formed. But they are set this season to create a history. Chelsea was the last team in the Premier League to have won the CL which was in the year 2011/2012.

Yes, he is expected to return tomorrow finally. I think Zidane won't risk him playing against Osasuna in case he could get injured again. So it means that we will see him playing against Chelsea in the rematch! He was a really big loss for Real in the first leg and they absolutely felt his absence on defense and offense both.

Guardiola is a genius! One of the most beautiful match I've ever seen in my life, great from both sides but with a clear winner! Pep is a football master, the way City was able to find this win is simply astonishing.
This is the team best equipped to raise the cup in Turkey and I can't wait to see if PSG will try to fight back or not.

In fact, I also believe more in Pep with his genius, this is a tactic he uses so he knows every game he has to defend.
Mancity is now more comfortable where they are only able to defend themselves at home or in reverse with the attacks that keep beating against the opponent, therefore I think Pep will still take the CL trophy this season with the tactics he uses.

Pochettino always has a failure at the end of the competition the same thing he experienced when he was with Spurs and now when he wants to peak again with PSG must collapse under the pressure of Mancity.

But this is only half, hopefully there will be changes in the second leg later.

There is a very short line between genius and lunatic, says a popular proverb Grin

The truth is, Guardiola had the courage to take a risk after a very bad first half and it paid off many times over for his club but with both goals Manchester had a lot of luck and that should also be said.
Of course, you need to know how to provoke luck and Manchester deserved the victory with a brave performance in the second half.
This semi-final has not been resolved yet and it will be very interesting to watch the rematch in the Manchster.

PSG was unbelievable yesterday, just unbelievable. I just couldn't understand how the game turned against them and suddenly too. After beating the Manchester City from the early minutes of the first half through the first half, they still came to loose in a PSG 1-2 Manchester City goals down. The goals came in suddenly and sequentially by kelvin De Bruyne and R. Mahrez. 2 goals in 5 minutes after not being able to net a goal in the first half. Pep has got this league figured out surely, PSG has got to do the extraordinary to be able to hope for a UCL finals.
I would have said the league is closed but then, goal difference in both games at Real Madrid 0-1 Chelsea and PSG 1-2 Manchester City is slim hence, a come back can be attempted successfully if they've got a game plan figured out. Otherwise, they are as well out of the league with this first leg.

Carvajal was injured and dropped out before the end of the season. If we take into account that Marcelo's participation in the second match is in question, then a difficult situation arises. Three defenders remain in the ranks. If Valverde passes a negative test for covid-19, then he may have to take on the role of the right defender.

I don't understand how he called this goal a mistake. This is a pure class. It was a great free-kick. And the whole of the second half was occupied by Manchester City. PSG was not able to attack well in the second half. Manchester City have played well and they deserve this win.

I was seeing a summary of the statistics, and if we look purely at the data the game, seems to be more balanced than we imagined...

Possession: PSG 40% x 60% Manchester City
Shots off target: PSG 2 x 3 Manchester City
Shots on target: PSG 4 x 6 Manchester City
Corner kicks: PSG 6 x 4 Manchester City
Offside: PSG 1 x 1 Manchester City
Fouls: PSG 9 x 15 Manchester City
Passes: PSG 457 (87% accurate) x 677 (92% accurate) Manchester City

Are we more used to evaluating only a second half? I also had the impression that City had played much better.
