^  Rofl.  You’re not just saying that are you?  Chelsea has a squad with good players, deep enough to take the CL trophy imho.  But I mean sure, in a tourney structure an inferior team could win and progress in the tournament.  But saying it like it’s likely gonna happen is lulz.

I think a lot of people are betting on Chelsea. Same reason as you, they have a better team. Apart from that, from the history of eight matches, Chelsea won 5 times, lost 2 times and drew 1. The first leg took place in Porto, this is their superiority but remember Chelsea won 1-0 at Porto in 2009. Statistically Chelsea is very superior, but remember that is only history. Chelsea must continue to appear serious if they want to win, Porto has more power to make Chelsea lose,because they play at home.

But I think Chelsea will get past them with a very solid performance. But I don't expect easy matches for both sides also.
I also think the same as you. Chelsea is still the favorite team in the match "Chelsea Vs Porto". Of course, Porto has done an amazing job so far, they even can beat Juventus. But it cannot guarantee they will eliminate Chelsea, because Chelsea has a different play of style. Beating Juventus doesn't mean to beat Chelsea as well, we cannot judge if Juventus is better than Chelsea. However, it is true that the match should be not easy for both Porto and Chelsea. But Chelsea should have a bigger chance to win with their solidity, their players' quality, and their experience in the Champions League competition.

Chelsea's match strategy is kinda different. And this round of the Champions League requires great match strategy and experience. I think Thomas Tuchel is experienced enough. He will lead the Chelsea team in the right direction. It will be very difficult for a team like Chelsea to beat Porto unless they play the whole 90 minutes carefully.

If Tuchel wasn't the manager now and Lampard was still the manager, I'd see Porto as more advantageous here. Because Chelsea were playing really bad then. But with Tuchel, the team are getting better and better. I haven't any doubt that he will want to do whatever is needed to even take their chances on the championship.
You're right, Tuchel will do his best to take Chelsea to the next round in the Champions League. At least he would like to defeat the Porto team. If he can beat Porto, they will play in the semi-finals against Real Madrid or Liverpool. This will not come as a surprise if Tuchel is able to take the Chelsea team to the final.

So much has been said about the Chelsea Vs Porto... My opinion tho, Porto is gonna school Chelsea regardless I wanna see an interesting game from both side.


Porto already stopped Manchester City during this cup and eliminated Juventus.
This can be their year.

Champions League Imho is a mix of 80% skill and 20% luck while in a national League in a long term the stronger team will win 95% of the times.

Just look at the fact, mate. The manager is Thomas Tuchel, he already improved many things on Chelsea. So, it will be a big mistake if Porto underestimates Chelsea. It is not a weak Chelsea anymore, their performance is getting better and solidly in playing. With Tuchel as the manager and Chelsea players' performance improved well, they are ready to beat Porto this time. Personally, I see Chelsea has a bigger chance to qualify on the next stage.

I think all the matches in this round of the Champions League are completely unpredictable. It is very difficult to predict which team will win. All teams are good. All the teams have very skilled and experienced players. Anything can happen in matches. Calm down and watch the match.
Indeed, I also feel that all matches are difficult to predict, especially the teams competing at UCL, of course, are great teams that have a chance to win. I don't underestimate any team now because with just a few mistakes in the match, I think that's enough for the opposing team to take the chance to score.

Everyone talks about the Porto versus Chelsea game but nobody talks about Bayern versus PSG game, that is a game that is going to be basically an early finals game. 

Bayern VS PSG is the biggest tie of the champions league knock out rounds, as evident in the previous champions league final between them both; the most clinical team wins this kind of ties; with PSG boasting an attack of Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria; it would be a 2 leg blockbuster. I think Bayern Munich will edge it once again, they have the fitter and more quality squad depth

Whoever wins that series will have a chance to win the whole cup, of course City is still there and they could do something about it but the reality is that Bayern versus PSG basically eliminates one of the biggest title contenders from here, that is a big game.

I believe Bayern will win again, it is going to be a tough series, and it is going to get less bets attribute to one side than any other game, there is no clear favorites here, but I think PSG will win at home and Bayern will win at home and Bayern will have the bigger difference and win by aggregate as well. That is at least what I think may happen, I can't guarantee anything because it is not going to be simple but I think that's possible.

Have you read about the new rules being prepared for the competition?

I was surprised with the proposal, the transfers of players, between teams that play in the competition, are not authorized.  Shocked

Fc  bayern confirmed now that Lewandowski has an injury in his knee and will therefore miss around 4 weeks. That means he can not play in both games of the Champions League quarterfinal against Paris. In my opinion bayern was the slight favorite in this matchup before but now i think the Momentum shifts to psg. Lewandowski is just 1 player but he is the best striker at the moment. That was probably the worst possible moment for an injury like this.

It is definitely a big loss for Bayern. Lewandowski has been scoring so many goals and he is a beast. In the absence of him, Bayern will have more problems on scoring for certain even if there are still players who are likely to score. I wonder whether PSG will manage to turn it into an advantage.

@Jackl87 this is horrible news and without Lewandowski it’ll be very difficult for Bayern to win their game, but then again I don’t expect them to go down without a fight which will make this fixture very interesting to watch. Furthermore it’s pertinent to note that Pochettino and PSG are obsessed with winning the champions league and hence this is a golden opportunity for them.

Porto;  Even if he is eliminated against Chelsea, they should be proud that he even got to this stage.This will be the match I am most curious about.
Winning or losing at least they can beat up their chest and be proud of the progress. they have never advanced to this stage for the last 1 decade. Chelsea is a tough notch in the champions league this could be the end of the beautiful journey for Porto in the champions league this year.

It is your point of view of course. But I think this is it for Porto. They made a great job by managing to eliminate a huge opponent, Juventus in the last round. But I think Chelsea will get past them with a very solid performance. But I don't expect easy matches for both sides also.

Chelsea is used to winning with a new management at their early stage.
The games will tell tho
Chelsea may end up losing that's true and I agree that Porto is not a team to scoff at, all those are right. However saying Porto will school Chelsea is quite wrong as well, I mean it's prediction so you can say anything you want and people can reply whatever they want because it's just prediction, but I do not agree with the fact that Porto could dominate that game, is there a chance they could win? Of course there is but is there a chance they could end up beating the hell out of Chelsea? No way.

I think there is a bigger chance Chelsea could dominate than Porto winning, it's that much difference and Porto is not anywhere near Chelsea level, sure Chelsea may not be awesome at premier league, leading the league or something, but they are still playing in premier league and not liga nos, if Chelsea was there, they would be at the top of the standings by 10+ points.

If this year is Porto eliminates Chelsea, Porto will go to the final.It would be a surprising result.I remembered that Greece won the european championship.They chances were low in Euro 2004, but Greece became the champion.Porto could win UCL this year.They should have good luck sure.
I do believe that Porto came to the end of the road here. The reality is that Juventus is not doing as great as they did in the Serie A neither, they are not doing that well, which is why I do understand them losing on champions league as well. But Chelsea is a well oiled machine and they are working great. They are doing good on premier league as well and fighting for champions league too, which is all great if you ask me.

A battle between these two should be going to Chelsea for sure, it looks more possible. Of course there is a chance, of course Porto may win, it is football and more unlikely stuff has happened in football before, but beating Juventus and beating Chelsea is not the same, if you can beat Juventus you are a good team, if you beat Chelsea you are a great team. Sometimes unexpected teams beat some big names, remember Ajax few years back? That could be Porto but I do not think that will happen.
It will most likely be as you said in this match.Nevertheless, football is a sport that is open to all results.Porto fans are grateful to their team for eliminating juventus.

Porto;  Even if he is eliminated against Chelsea, they should be proud that he even got to this stage.This will be the match I am most curious about.

Even though all teams have chances but this time, big name teams don't always have consistent performance and it has been proven that Porto can beat Juventus. Juventus and Chelsea in this opportunity are clearly very different and the changes that occur at least we can see from their struggles in the local league, with a change in Chelsea's very good performance, I personally have no doubt for this team even it looks like Chelsea can advance to the final. The results are open, but at least there are differences that make it possible to know the results before the game starts, right.
