All full team returning to the field this night. PSG without Juan Bernat because of Ligament injured. Seems Icardi can be the starter, maybe Phochettino has to change the format to be 4-4-2 as unusual, duet Mbappe and Icardi can be chosen, or 4-5-1 if Mbappe stepped back a little bit with Neymar. It this hard to predict, PSG could be the winner with a bit difference in goal may be 1 or a draw.

I also have no idea what to expect from tonight's game, but I don't really want PSG win. It's difficult to predict something, but not goaless draw like 1:1 or 2:2 would be great result for City I think.

Do you know EPL teams are more stronger than the French side? When was the last time the both clubs met? Manchester city faces stronger teams at EPL while PSG wins the French title almost every season, PSG will play a perfect game but will not qualify because Manchester plays a smarter attacking football, I expect the citizens to win the clash tonight with score line of 2:1.

Real Madrid won't be going easy on them and should it come to a penalty shutout, I think Real Madrid would have a better chance than Chelsea.

There's no better team during penalty shootout, penalty kick is a game of luck and there is not professionalism in it, don't be surprise that Chelsea will beat them if the 2nd leg happen to end at penalty kick.

With the great improvement in the defensive line led by Robin Diaz and after his resilience against Haaland in the previous round, they have a chance stand up to Neymar and Mbappe.
In turn, Navas was one of the most important reasons for the Parisian club’s qualification. He have to show himself in front of Mahrez and Foden and De Bruyne.
City loves to control and control in front of an opponent who loves repeats and speeds, thats why i favore them to win the game but for betting tip i guess BTTS will do fine.

[leea-1334]

No guys , it won't be a draw as this will mean Chelsea will be out for sure and I do have Chelsea to qualify into the final because if Real reaches the final again , they will win it because they have the experienced players who can win a final of UCL so I do hope that Chelsea will score in both halves and take the win. Also , don't forget that Real had 4 games in 8 days and they scored only with Cadiz so this  brings me to the next question

Is Real Madrid fuel almost empty ? They kinda need a break as Zidane didn't manage the important players because they're still fighting for LaLiga.

So it did end up as a draw after all,,, and Chelsea even have the slight advantage but Real can cancel it out with a goal, and even score 2 and life becomes very difficult for the Blues. But they both have the easier semi as tonight game is the real heavy shots on display.

Hope it becomes a worthy final whatever the outcome!

[hahay]

With the productivity of the attacks from both teams, of course, both teams have an equally good chance of scoring goals in this match. I personally still believe City will win in this first leg, or maybe it will be a draw like last night's match. Well, no one knows for sure because this is just a prediction but with a coach like Pep who has been leading the team for a long time than Pochettino who just joined, I prefer City to win.

Paris Saint-Germain ? - ? Manchester City The crude oil clubs in Europe face up tonight in France with the most expensive squads in football history with both team players worth over $1Billion. Tonight will be about a team that can put in the better performance; Can Dias and Stones stop Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria? Can De Bruyne, Gundogan and Foden dominate midfield proceedings ? I see a tie with flurry of goals wit PSG waiting to hit Manchester City on the counter

A 2-2 draw is very deserving.

As you already said, both clubs are basically toys of billionaire sheiks, it's the same with chelsea except it's a russian oligarch there instead of a sheikh. That is also the reason why i would like Real Madrid to win the Champions league this year, even though i am not a big fan of them in general.
To todays match: I personally think that ManCity is stronger than Paris even though the gap between them is not that big. I have read that Mbappe maybe misses this match or even if he participates he will probably not be at 100%. This fact is also a advantage for ManCity of course. I guess it will be a pretty close game but Manchester is my 60/40 favorite here.

It was a difficult game yesterday for both Real Madrid and Chelsea, it's not easy to play under heavy rain also.
The final outcome is all very open but in the end, maybe, Chelsea can do it!
Tonight, I have no clue of what's gonna happen between City and PSG but I'll watch the match for sure.

Exactly, it was a very difficult game yesterday. For the rematch, I think Chelsea has created a very good starting position and now has a very small advantage over Real. I'm curious how the game will end today, I think Manchester will get a draw. Then there could even be a purely English final.

[Renampun]

Manchester City has never stepped into the Champions League final. The Citizen must not fail again after setting foot in the semifinals. While under Pep Guardiola's direction, this is the first semifinal for Man City. Last season was surprisingly halted in the quarter-finals by Lyon.

This is another tough match IMO...
both teams have the same big ambitions and also have a good track record since competing in CL this season until they reach the semifinals. but I am more inclined towards man city, I am sure they will win in this leg 1 match.

I am expecting a great match tonight. City will probably have a lot of the ball possession but PSG likes to play counter attacking football and will probably manage to catch the citizens out of position quite often. My bet is on both to score, I was actually quite surprised with odds above 1.6, I was expecting 1.5 or lower so high stake bet for me.

[Igebotz]

Manchester city vs Chelsea final would be a lovely spectacle, a delightful experience. The English press would add some more spice to it, lol.

Wow I predicted this last month I'm glad you can see what I saw, this is another English Champions League final, the last time we had Liverpool vs Tottenham in 2019, I'm looking forward to seeing how the English clubs would dominate the champions league once again. Chelsea is the only club in England with the most champions league Semifinal appearance ( 8 ). They will eliminate Real Madrid and play Manchester City in the final.

I think there was a bit of an obstacle due to the heavy rain so the game was not as attacking, as usual, they only defended a little bit to defend it, but in the second leg, it will be the result because 1 goal from Madrid and Chelsea will qualify for the final.

I am also looking forward to the PSG and Mancity matches. How will the result be, will it be the draw at the end of the whistle? This is really difficult to predict but I am sure if it doesn't rain more like yesterday then the match will be even more exciting for those who win will have points in the second leg later.

Yesterday I did not get to watch the game, but judging by the statistics and the number of yellow cards for Real, the game was not very interesting... Today I'll watch the game... I hope PSG can beat Man City!
Maybe even get a chance to trade the fan-token! But if PSG lose, the token will go to hell!

[Yogee]

.....

Come on men that's disrespectful to the players and the game. Sure there is some luck involve but there is more work involve than you could think of. How many hours do you think goalkeepers practice in stopping goals from the spot? Penalty takers are also under immense pressure to hit the back of the net. It's a mind game.

Chelsea played very well, they deserved to win this match. And Real did not keep up with the Chelsea players, because of this there are so many yellow cards. I think Chelsea should be the finalists of this Champions League.

For today's match, I really hope that City wins. Yes, I know PSG knocked out Bayern, but City must stop PSG. It would be fun to see the English finale.

I also think City will be better. Although there is a possibility that the game will draw, City believe it wins.
Of course, there is always the possibility that PSG will surprise, but I doubt it.

[boltz]

Seems like football fans all around the world will be with City tonight and this is the reason I will go with PSG because I simply cannot see City to move into the final and win UCL but on the other side PSG played with Barcelona and defeat them , then they played with the champs Bayern and defeat them too and now they're facing a team who is for the first time in their history in the semi-finals of UCL so they will defeat City aswell.

I rarely saw a team who beat 2 favorites to loose any tourney , not only in football but in all the important sports.

My prediction : 1-0 PSG.

I also would like to support Manchester City as they are much better side as compare with PSG. But it depend on the team's strategy what game plan they have to beat them so let's see what happen next. I hope City will show amazing performance to make it position better.

[Soonandwaite]

today I am really curious if PSG can win against Man City. i think PSG have to win at home today to have the chance to reach the final of the Champions League for the second time in a row,
which would be a super big success for the team.
last year they had no chance against Bayern Munich in the final. but maybe the men from Paris will make it this year and win the Cup.

As a Manchester City fan, I would definitely like City to win. But both teams are equally strong. So it is very difficult to predict which team will win. Manchester City will be even stronger if Aguero is in the squad today. Looking forward to enjoying a competitive match.

PSG wouldn't take things for granted in today's match having missed out last year final to Bayern, they knewwhat is at stake a win tonight guarantees another final, I believe mbappe and Neymar would make a difference for PSG although it going to be a tough match however I am tipping PSG to win today  I am not too convinced with the performances of Man City in their last two games against Chelsea FA cup semi-final which they lost and against Tottenham though won that one against a poor Tottenham team
