Not that I didn't like Manchester, but they had a pretty easy opponent in the quarterfinals and not only ... And one more thing, I just really want to see how the French tear Manchester, just like they dealt with Bayern Munich and Barca ... In the end, in my humble opinion PSG deserve the title.
Sorry mate, in my opinion Dortmund is not an easy opponent for Manchester City even though in the first leg Manchester City was able to win 2-1. If Dortmund had been easy, maybe I wouldn't have seen them reach the quarter-finals. It's just that in my opinion the quality of these two team is different and they are at different level. PSG and Manchester City are two teams that haven't won the UCL as far as I know, and I think one of them will do it this season and hope Guardiola and his team will. But before that, let's see what Manchester City will do today in the second leg.

The prediction in yesterday's match was a mistake and it is a big consideration for me personally to bet on today's match. Liverpool - Madrid and Dortmund - City, I'm still not sure Liverpool and Dortmund will comeback, but if I consider the results of the previous matches about Bayern and Porto, at least it's a doubt for me to bet on Madrid and City. Apart from that, betting on Over goals is still something that makes me doubt, because Madrid and City will be easy to implement a defensive strategy and that will make the match not as many goals as yesterday's.

It is not like City is a no brainer. Dortmund can beat any team on a good day, and the first leg was a close call given the late goal for city. Liverpool Madrid is tough. Without fans in Liverpool I think Madrid will make it. Would be insane to see Zidane getting to the finals soon again. Most CL titles for one coach are three I think, right?

All depends on Dortmund's shape tonight. They can make it I believe.

Impossible night to win any tickets in UCL and I think today won't be different but let me give you an advice : Liverpool won't manage to qualify further! I've already made my predictions some time ago and I said that PSG-Real will be the final , with PSG winning. Last week , most of my friends laughed at me for picking PSG ...guess who's laughing now:)). So yea, tricky games in UCL and low odds ...pick wisely.

I think that Liverpool can win tonight, but I'm not sure that it will be enough to get through. They would need 2:0 win - LFC are able to score 2 goals. But it will be extremely difficult not to let Real to score. Real goal will make their task even more difficult.
Borussia - City will be very interesting. It's not clear whether Hummels and Reus will play because of injuries - it will be big factor, they are very important players. But even if they will play, I expect City to win.
I think liverpool team can win this game but it is extreamly difficult for them to get past real madrid they are not doing good and they have difficulties wining as we saw in the premiere league and real madrid players should be boosted after their last win in the classico so i would go with both teams to score on the other hand if all borussia players will play i think it will make it difficult for man city to win.

I am also feeling the same thing with you, the last meeting overweighed Liverpool with heavy away goals which will take them time to recover from, I know exactly that Liverpool are ready tonight and wouldn't want to make any mistake made in the first leg that's why they may win tonight but will hard them to qualify.

Borussia - City will be very interesting. It's not clear whether Hummels and Reus will play because of injuries - it will be big factor, they are very important players. But even if they will play, I expect City to win.
City have a sure win in this match tonight, hummels and Reus are key players never to be missed on the pitch, let me watch how they gonna struggle to avoid losing with high score.

Let's focus on the remaining games of the quarter finals: on paper Real and Manchester City should be able to control their games and reach the semifinals but I wouldn't be sure that's gonna be so easy.
What if these two games end in a draw?

If these two games tonight are a draw then it means Real Madrid & Man City will go to the semi finals. Let’s see what happens but I think those two teams will be in the last remaining four.

This is what I do. I drink and I know things.
What if these two games end in a draw?

Anything can happen but these results suit and give qualification to Real and Man City respectfully. I doubt that we will have any draw today... Grin

What do you think about this parlay? Can all teams score tonight in Champions League?

This will be one of my 3 parlays as well, so yeah I believe that we will see all the teams scoring today. Tongue Grin

I expect City to win.

after City lost against Leeds in the Premier League I think that in this game City will suffer to win and if they make the same mistake in defense that they did in the game against Leeds, they can lose the game. Borussia is also not doing very well, in the last Bundesliga game they conceded 2 goals. if i were to bet on this game i would bet on BTTS



Liverpool - Real Madrid

I am a fan of both teams so I will be happy with any result, it will be a good game to watch

Even as a bayern supporter i have to say that Paris deserves to advance to the semi final. Bayern was lucky yesterday, because PSG had a lot of chances to score. Paris hit the post 3 times and right after that bayern scored and made it 0-1 but afterwards bayern could not create many chances. Bayern lost this one in the first leg because they should have scored at least 4 or 5 goals last week but just were not efficient enough back then. The abscence of lewandowski and gnabry also was a factor of course.
Now it is possible and even likely that 3 of the 4 clubs in the semi final will be sheikh or oligarch billionaire toyclubs. I don't really like that, but i guess no one cares about my feelings  Smiley

Two really unexpected results yesterday, especially the Bayern win in Paris. What is actually most shocking for me is that Choupo-Moting scored in both legs against PSG Grin

I'm really pumped about the Liverpool-Real game tonight, I know it will be hard and Real are huge favorites to go through but it wouldn't be the first time we're beating the odds. I'm just afraid that Alisson won't be available, he was not there during the last team training.

We already have huge problems with Phillips-Kabak combination, add Adrian to that and there's no way of stopping Real scoring.

Still can't really figure out why the Reds are such clear favourites when the first leg was rather one-sided plus we only grabbed the Villa victory on the nape of its neck.

I got a big bet on them qualifying though, almost 3/1 (also pretty strange to me ha) but they should do this either by winning 2-0 or 3-1, forcing extra time and a penalty. If Real score to, we have to get 5 goals -- a tough call in any game.

Let's see.

After yesterday's result all my respect goes to Porto and its players. I thought they would have had no chances agaisnt Chelsea but they fought hard until the end.

if Liverpool is able to win with 2 goals in this match then it is certain that Liverpool will qualify for the semifinals...
but we know that Madrid is not an easy opponent, by winning 2 points, they will play more alertly and regularly. I doubt Liverpool will win in this match, a draw that will happen IMO.

Liverpool biggest challenge this night is the fact that they have to keep a clean sheet if they want to qualify for the next round; they are already 2 goals down; and for every Goal that Real Madrid scores; the more difficult it is for Liverpool to go to the next round. I do no think this is likely, Real Madrid will proceed to the semi final of the champions league.

On the other end; Manchester city need to avoid defeat in Germany; because Dortmund already has an away goal to their favor; Pep team needs to score in Germany to cancel out the away goal rule; while Dortmund needs an outright victory to qualify; who do you give your support ?

Liverpool has a monumental task to do tonight as they need to win with 2 goals difference or more depending how the game develops.I will bet on them tonight as I think they will win the game.
Liverpool must wins in the match tonight against Madrid, because in the 1nd leg match they lost 3-1. But on the 2nd leg they can be a little relieved, because Liverpool play at home and lock 1 goal at home to the opponent. I think Liverpool will be able to overcome Madrid in the match tonight, because ANFIELD will be Liverpool's 12th player.

Liverpool is playing very inconsistently, so it is very difficult to predict Liverpool's performance.

And at the same time, Real Madrid are playing really well and are winning all of their games.
This will be a tough one for Liverpool. Real will surely win overall... but as for tonight's game, it may be that Real sit back and wait for Liverpool to commit forward in search of the goals they need... and Real just hit them on the break. It's a difficult situation when you need to win by more than one goal, and easy for the opposition to just put men behind the ball and wait for you to over-commit.

Neymar has a mixed match. He played impressively in the match but missed some few great opportunities. Too lucky for Neymar that PSG win the aggregated result. If PSG fails, Neymar will be on the spotlight as big failed transfer of PSG. It is football and the verge of hero is very thin.

Neymar has his best performance in Champions League after the magic night seasons ago when he helped Barcelona to beat PSG with a shock flippening. If PSG win the Champions League, Neymar and his teammate Mbappe will fight for the Ballon Dor.
Last night's game was one of the best performance from Neymar in a long time. He was at the right place at the right time in most of the game and getting the balls as well. His footwork were right but, his targets were the once that were slight off. He played a very 8mpress8ve football last night but sadly, the game wasn't about them winning anymore. It was more of sustaining the pressure from Bayern Munich and preventing any possible come back. Though, PSG did there best in trying to net a few goals from counter attacks though.

I remember that great come back and the feeling it brought to Barcelona fans that evening. Too bad Messi still had to take most of the glory even with the fact that, it was a clear Neymar Jnr night. We hope Neymar gets to prove himself in this UCL season by winning the finals.

Liverpool is playing very inconsistently, so it is very difficult to predict Liverpool's performance. But depending on the player Liverpool will play as well,
if they return to play Phillips and Kabak it will be very easy for Madrid to score goals like in the first leg. I prefer Fabinho to play as a defender to
replace Phillips, because he must have more experience in blocking Madrid players attacks. If Liverpool play more discipline in defense, and play football
that relies on effectiveness. There is still a possibility that Liverpool will beat Madrid,  the problem is that it is very difficult to score two goals without
being conceded by a Madrid player. For the Dortmund vs Manchester City match, I am optimistic that Manchester City can beat Dortmund easily.

They put bayern as favorite for the second leg tonight but if you look at the odds on who will advance into the semifinal than you can see that PSG is the clear favorite here, which of course is no surprise given the result of the first leg.
I have to say though that i can easily imagine bayern to score 3 or 4 goals tonight because they have so much quality in the offense that they can score that amount of goals against pretty much every team. They need to be way more efficient than in the first leg with their goal scoring of course because that inefficiency brought them into this bad position in the first place.
Another main factor will be the quite shaky defense of bayern this season, but if they manage to only concede one goal at max than everything is possible.

I guess the wise bets would have been on Bayern to win but PSG to progress. That would have been almost 3x win I think?

Using this logic,,, should bet on Liverpool to win 2x plus Real to progress 1.5x for another 3x bet?

Real might even win and 3x plus 1.5x is 4.5x win:)

So many permutations!
