.....
Furthermore I don’t expect PSG to sit back and play a boring draw in their next meeting, and in my personal opinion PSG will try and score as many goals they can to make sure that Barcelona is completely humiliated.
....
I hope they wont do it on the 2nd leg as it can be something dangerous for PSG if they will play defensively. I also think that PSG will play as what they did hours ago. Although they are in a very good advantage but Barcelona may make a comeback if PSG prefer to play defensively.
The only thing we know for now is Barca will be desperate to overturn PSG's lead so they will be in attacking mode for the second leg. They can rush their plays, tire out, and easily commit mistakes so it's only logical to think that PSG will be more defensive and catch them on counter-attacks.
Will Barcelona fired Ronald Koeman as coach because failed to give trophy champion league? I think Barcelona faced many problem this year when beginning on this season have any cases with lionel Messi until Barcelona president resign, now faced problem with performance on Camp Nou loss from PSG with bigger score 1-4.

Tonights games -

Porto vs Juventus & Sevilla vs Dortmund

These are going to be two highly competitive games. I think Juventus & Dortmund will advance to the 1/4 final after 2 legs but I have no idea what will happen tonight. It wouldn’t surprise me if both are draws.
Juventus can win the match but Porto is not a weak opponent to deal with in Champions League. Sevilla has a good test with Dortmund to show that whether they deserve to get a recognition in Champions League rather than only in Europa League. Sevilla dominated the Europa League in the last decade but in Champions League, they are not in the top of strongest teams.

I think Juventus will get 3 points but Sevilla and Dortmund will get only 1 point from the match and Dortmund might end it with 3 points if they will take opportunities well enough.

Odds for Sevilla win looks so nice tonight. They are looking really solid and they are undefeated for a long time already. While Borussia aren't consistent, even change of manager didn't helped them much.
I wouldn't be so confident about Juventus win tonight. Yes, they're favorites, but I think it won't be easy for them, especially considering that they're playing away.
Am backing both juventus and Sevilla based on this analysis and not forgetting both teams have plenty of experience when it comes to big stages so I don't see any longshot winner today

Btw..  RBL vs Liverpool will be played at Budapest due to Germany’s covid restrictions for incoming flights.  No wonder the books priced RBL’s lines a bit high.  They’re on neutral ground.  Still leaning RBL tho.  I’m thinking 1 - 0, 2 - 1.

Nowadays the teams doesnt really got any home advantage so it doesn't make any sense it's on neutral ground but gladly they found a place where they can play the game.

I expect a win for RBL. Liverpool is complete out of form so if RBL starts aggresively they can overwhelm Liverpool.

Yup..  I kinda was thinking that.  But it was too late anyway.  Lol.  I already made the bet when I found out.  And the reason why I made the bet was cos I wanted to fade Liverpool due to player fatigue.  Not necessarily cos I thought RBL was the better side.

Thank you Leipzig for that horrible performance yesterday Grin

They gave us the win with some really silly mistakes in defence and Angelino himself miskicked the ball in 2 good chances for Leipzig to score. It will probably be an easy 2nd leg in a situation where we really need it.

Actually in the Leipzig-Liverpool game, both sides had similar statistics in total. But Liverpool were the side that didn't waste their important chances. They scored 2 goals in just 5 minutes (Salah and Mane) which was devastating for Leipzig. I expected much better performance from Leipzig as Liverpool have been so bad in the PL for some time. But Leipzig couldn't even score any goal and got a very disadvantageous result before the game in Anfield.

PSG thrashed Barcelona - I said I expected them to go through. Barcelona needs a serious squad revamp.

The result was completely the opposite of my expectation. I thought that Barcelona would win with a 1-goal difference.  Grin  PSG literally erased Barcelona even though the game was in Camp Nou.

Barcelona 1 - 4 Paris Saint-Germain F.C
Such an insane result, although I was not even expecting. Its devastating, i cannot envision Barca losing at home in these manner. A hartbreaking match for FC Barcelona fans all around the planet. Barcelona really remained extremely troublesome. Anyway, A perfect hatrick by Mbappe.

It was also beyond my expectation.  Grin  I expected a draw in this match actually. But Barcelona were so bad and PSG demolished them with a very nice performance. Mbappe especially was so great that he scored 3 goals. He also missed some chances too so he could have scored more and PSG could have won this with a more than 3 goals difference.

Barcelona has been in a serious crisis for a long time so this result is not too much of a surprise.
If Messi was looking for an answer in which club he can still win trophies and achieve good results now he knows the answer to that question.
I think that after another catastrophic performance of the Barcelona in the CL there is less and less chance that Messi will stay at the club next season.

Good result for my beloved LFC, very close to the tie being over imo. I can’t see them scoring 3 at Anfield.
Kabak looked good tonight, if we can get Fabinho in at CB with him it’ll mean Henderson can go into midfield with Thiago, we might be in business. Jota is back in a couple of weeks too, we’ve missed him a lot, he was scoring lots of goals before he got injured months ago.

Elsewhere the Mbappe show in the Nou Camp. Game over Barcelona!

Man you said what was on my mind about Jota last night going to bed (I know, I actually sleep well or badly depending on how we performed on the night haha) -- we actually managed to deal quite well with our defensive crisis, it was just our regular front three getting tired that was the problem. Jota there really mixed things up and I still look back on the game against Midtylland and not Everton (where we lost VVD) as the turning point.

What we sorely need is Hendo/Fab back at their preferred roles -- they've been awesome in CB but we just need defenders who think and play like defenders haha.

P.S. I never really saw Upamaneco play properly even though he was supposedly on our radar, but I think he wouldn't fit in our team -- physical for sure, but not tactical like VVD I'd say.

FC Porto - Juventus
Sevilla - Dortmund


Another champions league night; Can Porto expose the defensive frailties of the Juventus side? Can Sevilla outscore Haaland and Dortmund? This are intriguing questions to look out for; i am tipping Dortmund to a win and also Ronaldo to continue his champions league goal scoring streak
I've bet on Juventus for FC Porto - Juventus and on Sevilla for the Sevilla - Dortmund match, I hope there won't be any big surprise like yesterday with PSG for Barcelona-PSG  Undecided.

I think Juventus is a safe bet today because Porto has not big quality players like they used to have while Juventus with Cristiano should secure the qualification during this first game in order to come relaxed in the second leg in Turin and also win it.There is big difference in players quality between these two teams.

PSG will likely defend their lead for the second leg. I can see a low scoring game finishing 1-0 or 1-1.

I hope they wont do it on the 2nd leg as it can be something dangerous for PSG if they will play defensively. I also think that PSG will play as what they did hours ago. Although they are in a very good advantage but Barcelona may make a comeback if PSG prefer to play defensively.

FC Porto - Juventus
Sevilla - Dortmund


I'll go for Juventus and Sevilla, both team has odds more than 2 so I do think it is very nice odds to bet.

No longer the old time barcelona we are used to and they have a lot of problems.Psg without Di María and neymar despite,they won the match with a crushing result.Mbappé was the star of the match

I didn't expect PSG to win but Mbappé was outstanding. I can't still imagine that Mbappé is still just 22 years old.

Barcelona was lucky with the penalty and got some changes but they couldn't make a fist against PSG. Koeman got a lot of work to do for the return.

It could've been more if it wasn't for Ter Stegen. I can no longer see another comeback for the return league.

I didn't like Griezmann's playstyle at all. Griezmann has played well in the previous few matches in La Liga. I thought he might be in form. In yesterday’s match, I didn’t see any good shots from Griezmann’s.
Exactly... He didn't take his chances and in the end, they were punished.

Can Porto expose the defensive frailties of the Juventus side?
Even though it's probably going to be a close game, I'm expecting Juventus to win it [both teams to score].

So despite all the drama, and all the bookies backing Barcelona based on form, they got thrashed. At home too. Coronavirus season is really wreaking havoc on all team records!

Watched some highlights but not very clear the ones I could find. Seems like PSG really pulled out Poch magic. Man I miss him at Spurs:)

I'm totally disappointed to see Barcelona's game-play. I didn't like Griezmann's playstyle at all. Griezmann has played well in the previous few matches in La Liga. I thought he might be in form. In yesterday’s match, I didn’t see any good shots from Griezmann’s. Mbappe played just great. He scored a hat-trick against Barcelona. Undoubtedly, he will become one of the best players of the next generation
