[Slow death]

Barcelona 1 - 4 PSG

Barcelona have been facing great problems, and today it was another game that served to show that the problems of Barcelona are far from over and I think the solution lies in renewing the team and looking for another coach

I think there is no doubt that PSG has already moved to another stage, barcelona will not be able to change that result

Leipzig 0 - 2 Liverpool

to be honest i didn't have much hope that liverpool would win this game. I am surprised by this result

Mbappe demolished Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Paris, who excelled in everything technically, tactically and physically, most of their 1v1 duality they have won.
Koeman had to apologize for his wrong choices and then not fix them until after things gone unrepairable. Pochettino He officially presented his the win that got his name  solidified in PSG despite the absence of Neymar, which is very, very important to his offensive system .

Prior to the match, Neymar's absence felt like a big blow. It turns out PSG managed just fine without him especially since players like Mbappe was on a rampage against Barcelona defense today. Barcelona has been quite composed in the last couple of La liga fixtures and it was starting to feel like the team was getting back to top form again only to see them lose to PSG. Well, it's a good thing they'll have another opportunity to fight back next month. Hopefully they can put this loss behind them and work towards getting back in this round.

I'm surprised with our performance today against Leipzig. Expected at least a draw from that fixture not even a win due to our mediocre performances of late.

Imho the hype for Leipzig ended last year, they are a weaker team since then not only because they lost their key player but also because they probably lost the right mentality and the peace they had.

Now Liverpool and Barca are virtually already at the quarter-finals, anything can happen but IMHO for 90% they already passed their turn.

Didn't see this coming and happy to see Liverpool waking up and taking advantage in that game

However Leipzig shouldn't be underestimated. I am not very confident about Liverpool, it is good to see them winning but everything can happen in the next match.
You have to fix Barca* and replace it by PSG in your last sentence. What would be missing is taking another 1-4 so we can see good old 2-8

[abderrazak belkhir]

That was a nightmare and today i can say that barcelona team lost totally its prestige...i wonder at what point messi will keep playing for this weak team just to keep carrying the name of fc barcelona
I believe the relation between messi and barcelona can sadly end in a bad way

[Yogee]

What a performance of a lifetime by Mbappe! I'm looking forward to the odds for their next match.

....After the match is over, no one really mention anything about it but instead most divert their attention to PSG  .

PSG's performance just outshined Liverpool's win and they did it without Neymar. I think that's all there is to it.

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

Wait, you said Barca?
PSG just destroyed Messi and friends with 4 goals, mate.
How can you state Barca 90% at the quarter-finals?
Come on, don't make a joke, mate.  

~happy to see Liverpool waking up and taking advantage in that game

Me too. Liverpool deserves to win and go to the next stage.
I hope in the next stage, all Liverpool players are ready to play and no injured anymore.

The glorious days of Messi's Barcelona are over. They are no longer nearly as good as we are used to them, even PSG is not in his best form Barca will be an easy job for them.
I am wondering, after this debacle, will Messi complain again and ask transfer to move to a new club. It is fine when everything going okay, but in the first serious crisis, they want to leave.

Barcelona and Messi have many nightmares in Champions League after the last won title and they have never feel comfortable to play againts top competitors.

What a performance of a lifetime by Mbappe! I'm looking forward to the odds for their next match.

This match, this hattrick move Mbappe to another high and better recognition on his talent. The era of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Ronaldo and Messi are over. The middle generation with Hazard, Neymar, Bale is coming to its ending too. The next generation with Mbappe, Harland, Sancho will be the next top competitive players for Ballon Dor.

Next match, I do not believe that Messi or Barcelona can do any shock because this time they lost a big match in their home stadium. In history, they lost 0 - 4 in PSG's home stadium and fliped the result at Nou Camp with the excellent performance from Neymar and the whole team. That match brought Neymar to PSG.

PSG's performance just outshined Liverpool's win and they did it without Neymar. I think that's all there is to it.

The absence of Neymar only makes the defeat looks worse for Barcelona.

It will be the last straw to officially end all things for Messi in Barcelona and the dependence of Barcelona on Messi.

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.

@Yogee I guess the jokes on me because most people here were saying that PSG is the better side, and they’ll comfortably beat Barcelona, however I was being rigid and I said that it would not happen, but in the end PSG prevailed.

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.

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

[SUPERSAIAN]

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'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

[leea-1334]

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:)

[SFR10]

Its devastating, i cannot envision Barca losing at home in these manner.

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

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]}.

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.

[Bitinity]

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.

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  .

It was also beyond my expectation.    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.
