PSG  VS Real Madrid

30 minutes gameplay has just over. Neither team could score any goal in 30 minutes. As I expected, Real Madrid will try to draw by playing defensively in the away match. Till now Real Madrid is playing fully defensive. They could not score a made a single shots in 30 minutes. PSG made 4 shots. On the other hand, PSG has made 60 attacks in 30 minutes, Real Madrid has made only 14. PSG has made a total of 295 passes, while Real Madrid has made only 134. Maybe Real Madrid could try to score in the second half.

The game which could have been very well the final of this Champions League is going to be played tonight in Stad de France and I think it will be one of the best games of this season.I see PSG as the favorites here with Real Madrid trying to defend and let everything to be solved in their legendary stadium Santiago Bernabeu on the return leg.Still though if the players of PSG play at their 100% condition I don't see a way out for Real Madrid,they are going to lose this.

Obviously, we all know that if PSG can perform at their best they will obviously win the match but the problem is they almost never seem to perform at their best. They have been inconsistent throughout the whole season and lost some matches that they really shouldn't have.

But Real Madrid is not in the form of their life so to say. They haven't been struggling but they also have not been very consistent instead of having low competition. I think PSG is the better team between these two solely based on the squad.

The tension and the onslaught from PSG still haven't produced a goal. Real Madrid are confined but they are able to defend quite well. Benzema was also present and not absent, that's enough to make them a little less worried. Although the game is completely controlled by PSG players who continue to try to break into the defense until now. Hard to believe Madrid is difficult to get out of the pressure.

Sporting 0-1 Manchester City

Manchester City took the lead against Sporting in just 6 minutes. Riyad Mehraz scored from Kevin De Bruyne's pass. Manchester City are an experienced team, and despite the away match against Sporting, they are definitely expecting a win. My guess is that Manchester City will win 2-1 today. Let's enjoy the match.

Yes, Riyad Mahrez's quick goal in the 7th minute was disallowed but confirmed by VAR, and the current goal increased to 0-2 and the second goal was scored by Bernardo Silva in the 17th minute.
it looks like there will be a lot of goals scored by Manchester City and still not midway through the first half Sporting Lisbon have conceded 2 goals, and Manchester City dominated the game.

PSG vs Real Mandrid is still 0-0 and it looks like the first half will be just as strong and goalless.

I don't see any chance of Sporting winning anymore. Today they are a team that is completely upset. Players suddenly lose rhythm. I saw their performance in the Primeira League against Porto. Though they did not win that match, but they played well enough. But today their defense against Manchester City is completely broken. The players have lost their confidence. Although they conceded more than 5 goals, now I will not be surprised.

[Doell]

PSG vs Real Madrid now seems to be quite exciting because they are playing with full strength.
Benzema who is doubtful for this match turned out to be able to play and this is very good to watch.
I always feel this is a very difficult opponent for both teams, the kick off will be carried out soon one of my regrets now is that Ramos did not play against his former club, hopefully he will play against his former colleagues because I really want to see this

The good news for Real Madrid is that Benzema is in the squad. Real Madrid squad is fully strong. They will play to win. One of PSG's star defenders Ramos is injured. This is definitely a cause for concern for them. Experienced defenders like Ramos were needed in this match. But we will see Neymar in this match. Although he is not in the starting 11, he may play after the first half.

So far PSG are in control of the match and Real Madrid also can't attack well ,but PSG also can't score goals and this is the 40th minute ,both teams are very strong ! Looks like the second half there will be a surprise by including Neymar to play , anyway I saw at a glance there was Ramos watching on the stadium bench

Madrid did not want to continue to be locked up by PSG players. in the 30th minute, they started to get aggressive and that's what I would like to see add a bit of impetus to fight back. Throughout the first half, it seemed that PSG still couldn't penetrate the goal and the execution always failed in the penalty box.

So far PSG are still in control of the match, seeing the neat attack scheme carried out by PSG forced Madrid to continue to withstand attacks, I think it will be very difficult for Madrid to get out of PSG pressure at this time and even it seems they panicked a little when mbappe, neymar and de maria were able to through the madrid defense, so far PSG have created several chances to score, seeing PSG's continued attack it looks like we will soon see a goal that is created from PSG.

PSG is controlling the whole match. Real Madrid is only resisting the attack. I feel very upset now. I was looking forward to watching a competitive match. I thought both teams would attack a lot and score goals. Real Madrid's performance is very annoying now. However, neither team was able to score in the first half. The match is in a 0-0 draw. Let's see how they perform in the second half.

[coderben]

The first half has just ended and there is still a 0-0 tie. But I must admit one thing especially that PSG had a very dominant performance in this half. They wanted to score so much and Real Madrid were lucky not to concede even one goal. Real Madrid will need to find a solution to this huge dominance of PSG. Otherwise, PSG can defeat them for sure by doing better in the other half. Real Madrid have performed worse than I expected so far. Maybe their game plan was like this and they just want to secure a draw. But it is not going to be easy either.

[BITCOIN4X]

The first half of PSG vs Madrid was a bit boring in my opinion because there was nothing really dangerous from either team. PSG had a few chances but none of them were really good so far. 0-0 for the first half this time.

While Manchester City have secured 4 goals in the first half and it looks like Sporting can't do much today. Manchester City would probably have scored more goals in the second half if they played like the first half and I think 1 ticket has already been secured by Manchester City.

City goal spree any fun? I'm watching the game in Paris, a bit disappointing if you ignore Mbappe's been the only one really creating threatening chances. Messi hasn't really sprung any magic as of yet, though he attempted two (blocked) shots, and then some simmering tempers with Casemiro but feel like neither keeper's really had any scares yet except the one save from Courtois.

Least it's not the lousy looking United game (stat wise).

PSG and Real Madrid look very careful in attack. I didn't expect the first half to end goalless for both teams, but it's good it looks like PSG can control more attacks against Real Madrid in the first half.

It's true as you say, Messi hasn't done anything particularly dangerous in front of Real Madrid's goal but he's made a few shots but hasn't found a good target. I hope this match doesn't end in a draw and both teams can score goals in the second half, of course the second half will be more interesting than the first half.

Sporting vs Manchester City 0-4 HT, this really surprised me because some people thought City would struggle to score this many goals even though it was only the first half.

Real Madrid and PSG will have to work hard to win this match because winning will make it easier for them to take the trophy upfront. So the two teams have to think about the title in today's game. I will support PSG in today's game even if they have the ability to win the match. I think PSG has all the star players in the squad to prove it so they have less chance of losing in today's match.

[LittleBitFunny]

Sporting vs Manchester City 0-4 HT, this really surprised me because some people thought City would struggle to score this many goals even though it was only the first half. 

I was shocked to see Manchester City's score in this match. They took a 4 goal lead in just 45 minutes of the first half. The reign of Manchester City players exists throughout the match. Bernardo SIlva scored two goals. Sporting should play a completely defensive game in the second half and not allow Manchester City to score. A shameful defeat awaits Sporting.

[Tony116]

Yes, PSG should be able to win the UCL and it is his ambition to bring in a lot of star players and whether this season PSG can make it happen, I don't think so, but who knows.
when compared to Real Madrid's experience in the UCL, Real Madrid is listed as the club with the most titles in the UCL and a total of 13 times, compared to PSG, never at all and only able to reach the final and was defeated by Bayern Munich 0-1 last season.
and the opening match of the UCL last 16 in a few hours will be a very interesting match between PSG vs Real Madrid and I will not miss it.

However, it can be said that today will be a very interesting match between PSG and Real Madrid. I think PSG will win the match because Real Madrid's main forward Karim Benzema will be able to play today due to injury. Despite PSG's Sergio Ramos, Neymar did not take part in today's match due to injury. But today Lionel Messi, Angel Dimeria are waiting for a big opportunity in Mbabane, this opportunity should not be missed.

50' ongoing still no goal...

[Silberman]

It seemed to me to be a hopeless mission for the Portuguese at the start, but since Manchester City is now 0-2 ahead within fifteen minutes, it is completely over. It will sooner turn into a monster result than this will be another draw. 0-2 then the damage would be limited, but then you also have less than 1% chance to continue against City. Now all eyes can be on the match in Paris.

The Sporting never had too much of a chance against Manchester City but to think everything will be decided at halftime is incredible, there is no way that the Sporting is making a comeback after allowing 4 scores on such a short amount of time.

And about the PSG vs Real Madrid game, it seems PSG is the one in control of the situation but all of that will be for nothing if they cannot reflect that control and score a goal, as I am not so sure the second leg of this match will play like this one as I expect Real Madrid to play better then.

[Harkorede]

We've probably gotten our headline for tomorrow if the games doesn't go PSG's way and it's going to be Lionel Messi missing a penalty that could have been the potential game winner given the tempo and nature of this game, I feel bad for him though, it's all just part of the game.

Meanwhile Man City have continued their onslaught against Sporting Lisbon in Portugal and that's 5 unanswered goals so far, with still plenty of time to play for.

[Anguwa]

While Manchester City have secured 4 goals in the first half and it looks like Sporting can't do much today. Manchester City would probably have scored more goals in the second half if they played like the first half and I think 1 ticket has already been secured by Manchester City.

Manchester city are fully prepared for this match, I was surprised because I didn't expect so many goals in this round of 16 of this UEFA Champions League, but Manchester city gives joy as I am still expecting more goals. It's now 5-0 ; 1 goal from Maharez, 2 goals from Bernardo, 1goal from Foden and 1 goal from Starling. More of these goals pls city

[JeromeTash]

However, PSG will be under more pressure than Real Madrid.

Under more pressure?
Are you watching the match, or you are just guessing?
PSG has been piling a lot of pressure on Real Madrid. The only difference is that they haven't scored yet.

Because their midfielder Sergio Ramos will not be due to injury.

Since when has Sergio Ramos been a midfielder for PSG?   Sergio has been a Center-Back defender for ages.

[ShowOff]

Unfortunately Lionel Messi missed with his penalty kick today where Courtois managed to read the direction of his kick. Nice save from him and it has saved Madrid from defeat.

Overall I think PSG are much better than Real Madrid in this match. PSG dominated the match and they created a lot of chances but unfortunately they didn't score any goals today. I didn't expect the result to be a draw in the first leg, but it seems like a lot of people guessed something wrong today about PSG and Real Madrid.

Wow, Mbappe again saved PSG from a draw with his late goal. Good job until the last minute.
