UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[MinoRaiola]

Manchester City will host Copenhagen at home.City will be comfortable in this match as they won the first leg 3-1 against Copenhagen.It's a bit difficult for Copenhagen to make the round after this time but they will still take their chances because they have nothing to lose.
The most important match today will be between Real Madrid and Leipzig.Leipzig lost 1-0 at home to Real Madrid in the first leg, which reduced their chances of qualifying, but they can win this away game.I don't expect Real Madrid to lose, but I think it will be a tough match for both teams.

Alvarez and Akanji scored 2 goals in a few minutes and now it is 5:1 total with the first game. It should be a bit more boring now and City maybe change several players to give them a rest. Guardiola will do that in the second half, i think hell risk it earlier. Copenhagen can maybe score a goal at the end of the game and than be eliminated from the champions league. I think Real Madrid will score 1-2 goals today in the second game. So as soon as they score the first goal, leipzig will have to risk more and then there is a higher chance that real madrid will make it to the quarterfinals with a good chance.

[Mr.suevie]

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are playing home game and it's going to be a finishing games for these two teams. Leipzig can't come to Santiago to come humiliate Real Madrid, not the kind of team I expect such from and since this is a knockout celebration, Real Madrid can do it today and same goes with Manchester City in Etihad.

My only concern with this two teams, Real Madrid and Manchester City aren't supposed to be in the same place, tye last time these two teams faced each other in the Champions League, Real Madrid finished Manchester City despite been in good form, I don't want such humiliation should happen again even though some people don't want Manchester City to win the cup for this season.

i hope These two teams cannot meet in the quarter-finals. Because last season's history could repeat itself. But if these two teams ultimately meet in the quarter-finals then I think Man City will still be the favorite. Because Man City's performance is still the same as last season even though there have been changes in their midfield which were left behind by Gundogan.
For today's match, betting on Manchester City and Real Madrid will indeed be the choice of the majority of us, including myself. And with the position of host, nothing should be able to stop Real Madrid and Manchester City in today's match. And as expected, Manchester City is currently 2 goals ahead. And maybe there will be more goals in today's match.

Well I don't think if the two were to meet in the quarter finals that Manchester city win, remember the season before last the  real Madrid actually came out victorious of the clash between the two pairs and most certain that if the two were to play each  in the quarters or even the semi finals, it wouldn't be that easy for Manchester city to win because from my view of their performance they have also dropped in terms of how potent their attack use to be.

Man City cruising through with 2 goals scored under TEN mins!!! Julian Alvarez and Manuel Akanji get their goals and Kobenhaven gets their 1st, against the run of play at 29th min. As it stands, the aggregate is 5-2, to Man City. Kobenhaven need to score 3 more goals for them to qualify to the next round, while not conceding anymore. Almost impossible task but we've seen miracles in Champions League before.

[BITCOIN4X]

In less than 10 minutes of the match, Manchester City had scored 2 goals against Copenhagen, and these goals were created by Manuel Akanji in the 5th minute and Julian Alvarez in the 9th minute.
It looks like it will be an easy match for Manchester City in this second leg, and the 5-1 aggregate makes it difficult for Copenhagen to turn things around and this will be a goal party for Manchester City considering their squad is very different.

It's true, Manchester City are favorites in their home game and they really did their best to qualify for the quarter-finals. The temporary score is 2-0 which makes the aggregate 5-1, so now Manchester City is very safe to qualify. Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez scored 1 goal each and just now Mohamed Elyounoussi scored 1 away goal which changed the aggregate to 5-2.

Real Madrid vs Leipzig match is certainly more interesting to watch because both teams are playing with high tension. The aggregate is still the same as the first leg even though Real Madrid played better than Leipzig. If Leipzig scores first in this match, then the match will be even more interesting in my opinion.

Manchester City started the match with early two goals to show your are serious that they are in this match, and needs qualification by all means to the next stage as the defending champions of the league. I am not surprised at this, because their current form is just like that of last season, and they went as far as winning this league.

Copenhagen is not a match for City, because they are too weak for City. I hope to see more goals in this match, and it is an easy match for the host.

Manchester City will host Copenhagen at home.City will be comfortable in this match as they won the first leg 3-1 against Copenhagen.It's a bit difficult for Copenhagen to make the round after this time but they will still take their chances because they have nothing to lose.

In just a short time, Manchester City was leading 2-0. Not even ten minutes into the match, Alvarez has become a frightening player for FC Kobenhavn.
The situation at the Etihad Stadium has now left Kobenhavn with no hope and must be satisfied with accepting reality. It's not difficult, but Kobenhavn's struggle in the Champions League is over because of Manchester City's great play.

The most important match today will be between Real Madrid and Leipzig.Leipzig lost 1-0 at home to Real Madrid in the first leg, which reduced their chances of qualifying, but they can win this away game.I don't expect Real Madrid to lose, but I think it will be a tough match for both teams.

It's still a draw now. Ancelotti played his best squad to make Real Madrid secure tickets to the next round.
From Real Madrid's form of play in the first 20 minutes of the first half, it was not difficult for Real Madrid to win this match even though Bellingham and Vinicus were still looking for opportunities to score in the first half.
Real Madrid controls almost 75% of the game now but no goals have been scored. Maybe at the end of the first half they can do it.

match between Manchester City vs Copenhagen where the current score is 2-1. I think this match is easy to guess who will be the winner in this match because in my opinion Manchester City appeared quite impressive by scoring 2 goals in the first minute and they look like they will be able to feast on goals in today match. In another match between Real Madrid vs Leipzig, the score was still 0-0 and both teams continued to carry out attack after attack to break the deadlock in this match. I also hope that Real Madrid will be able to win this match.

Yes, two teams look like they will progress to the next round, but if Lepzig manages to surprise us, that would be quite extraordinary in this match. However, Real Madrid is playing at home and so far they have managed to dominate possession of the ball and have been able to carry out several quite brilliant attack attempts.

Are you expecting the match to be a difficult one for Manchester City? I know the match will be an easy win for Manchester City, and they won’t take the match seriously because they won their first leg of the match. Manchester City won their first leg 3-1, so all they need to do in the match is play a draw, and they are good to go. As we can see, the first half has just started, and Manchester City have been able to score two goals and Copenhagen have been able to score one goal, but Manchester City are still ahead of Copenhagen, so I am sure the match won’t be a problem for them.

Copenhagen is not a match for City, because they are too weak for City. I hope to see more goals in this match, and it is an easy match for the host.

Even though the match is not finished, I think Manchester City can definitely qualify for the quarter-finals. Pep Guardiola doesn't see much pressure in this match after they won the first leg with a score of 3-1, but of course Manchester City need to be careful not to lose at home.

Regarding Real Madrid, there are many possibilities. I see Leipzig as a dangerous team where they can score goals and win matches. They do not look weak and are still trying to complete their mission to qualify for the quarter-finals, so here Real Madrid should not underestimate Leipzig for whatever reason. Lead 1-0 doesn't make Real Madrid safe, so I hope they can score to take the lead.

[Marykeller]

No matter what Leipzig do, we already know who this is gonna end sadly, Real Madrid in Champions League is something more, they are not only the king of this competition but also they are the god, always finding goals from nowhere.

So for me today is easy Real Madrid and Manchester City wins their games, one in a easy match and the other in a more work hard one.

Real Madrid being the god of the Champions League is been tested heavily today in their match against Leipzig. Let's see how far Real Madrid can go because looking at how aggressive Leipzig is in their attacks against Real Madrid, you will doubt if Real Madrid would possibly win the match.

It is nil-nil(0-0) in the first half and both teams strength are equals in making attempt to score. But Leipzig has missed more chances than Real Madrid. Had it been they converted those chances to goals, it would have been one or two goals lead against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has to re-strategize their tactics in the second half of the match if they consider winning the second leg of quarter finals match meeting against Leipzig.

[baeva]

It seems that there will be no competition in today's matches. The real excitement will begin after this elimination. We can say that Manchester City is more comfortable than Real Madrid. In the rematch, Real Madrid needs to take control of the match and not concede a goal. Let's see what kind of game order they will take to the field.

As you know, Real Madrid is a team that likes to come back, but this is not always guaranteed, so they should not fall behind when they have the advantage in this match.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are playing home game and it's going to be a finishing games for these two teams. Leipzig can't come to Santiago to come humiliate Real Madrid, not the kind of team I expect such from and since this is a knockout celebration, Real Madrid can do it today and same goes with Manchester City in Etihad.

My only concern with this two teams, Real Madrid and Manchester City aren't supposed to be in the same place, tye last time these two teams faced each other in the Champions League, Real Madrid finished Manchester City despite been in good form, I don't want such humiliation should happen again even though some people don't want Manchester City to win the cup for this season.

The game between Real and Leipzig is quite boring, nothing interesting for the whole first half, it is true that there is a feeling that Leipzig is slightly superior to Real, but this will show the outcome of the match.

As for Real and MC, where is the humiliation in that? Yes, the score was 4-0 at the time, but it was a totally deserved score, Real didn't play their best. Yes and what I see in the match now is not their best game either....

Manchester City were the favorites but I don't think anyone expected them to finish the game in the first 10 minutes. Actually, the Copenhagen defenders defended Haaland very well but they missed other players while defending Haaland. Manchester City want to play a comfortable game and win because of the early goals. That's why they have set the tempo of the game in a routine. That's why I plan to watch the second half of the Real Madrid - Leipzig match. Maybe the balance of scoring in that game will make for a more exciting match.

[coinlocket$]

Only 1 goal scored for Haaland and Real Madrid still 0-0.

What is happening?

By the way the aggregate result for Real is still 1-0 so they are risking of going to extra time.

[GiftedMAN]

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are playing home game and it's going to be a finishing games for these two teams.

Expected to be easy games for.the favourites to win. Any result less than a win for the two team Manchester City and Real Madrid will be disappointing. The coaches of these two teams can decide to take off some of their key players because qualification is already assured for them. Pep already rested the likes of KDB for this game because of Manchester City next tough game against Liverpool in the premier league.  For Ancelloti, Jude Bellingham will not be rested because of the suspension he has picked up in the La Liga.

This is a champions league game there is no easy team that can get to this stage so no team in this stage should be underrated else you will get to see some funny outcomes of the game. Yes Manchester City and Real Madrid are playing from home which is and added advantage to them but they shouldn't look down on their opponents even though they have the advantage because they won in the first leg.

Update: it's the halftime now City 3:1 FC Copenhagen, Real Madrid 0:0 RB Leipzig.

[Oluwa-btc]

Two big teams progressed to the QF yesterday, i am talking about PSG and Bayern Munich, City and Real Madrid can also join them in the QF tonight, and make it 4 big teams to have progressed.

Having said that, Bayern Munich proved to be too strong for Lazio, even though the Italian team came into the second leg with a goal advantage, PSG completed the job they started in the first leg and saw off Real Sociedad, with Mbappe scoring two goals last night. The QF draw is going to be really interesting and there are definitely going to be mouth watering clashes, Bayern were knocked out at this same stage by City last season, i can imagine if they meet each other again in this same stage, it will be a game to look out for, but all this predictions can wait until the RO16 is over and the draw is made.

Right from when they fixed the game between Paris Saint Germany versus Real Sociedad I knew Luis Enrique would definitely be that man qualifying and not Real Sociedad. He kens this club very well when he was coach with Barcelona and had also won against them before now.
Didn't exert much hopes on Bayern Munich qualifications yesterday but gkad they could come out anf win the game regardless of how stubborn they did proved during the first few minutes of the game.

Last season with Kylian Mbappe, they should try to enjoy his presence and not quarrel not beef so hard with him. I know they'd miss him but only for a short term. They have to focus on, but I don't think they'd be able to progress to the next round..... As the Champions League Competition progresses, the game gets more amd more interesting.

It looks like it will be an easy match for Manchester City in this second leg, and the 5-1 aggregate makes it difficult for Copenhagen to turn things around and this will be a goal party for Manchester City considering their squad is very different.

There are some teams that make it to the round of 16, and we know it will be hard for them to go to the quarterfinals. That is why we will always congratulate them for meeting up to the round of 16, which Copenhagen is one of them presently there at in the halftime, and the score is 3-1, which in aggregate is 6-2, so I see no hope for Copenhagen to even think that they can make it to me day. They should just play their best and get ready to leave after the match because they can never make it against Manchester City. 

But we look forward to seeing the end of the match, and we celebrate Manchester City going to the quarterfinal because I am sure that Copenhagen will not try to make it today, but I don't know next time or next season if they can make it as they did this season.

Only 1 goal scored for Haaland and Real Madrid still 0-0.

What is happening?

By the way the aggregate result for Real is still 1-0 so they are risking of going to extra time.

Real Madrid have to score at least a goal to stay safe. Until now, I find them less threatening in the attack and Leipzig might surprise them.
For Manchester City, they are pretty much safe since the first leg, yet they scored 3 goals against poor Copenhagen.
So far we have Bayern Munich, PSG, Manchester City and most likely Real Madrid in the next round and definitely tomorrow's games will be more interesting.

[Abu-Naim]

Only 1 goal scored for Haaland and Real Madrid still 0-0.

What is happening?

By the way the aggregate result for Real is still 1-0 so they are risking of going to extra time.

RB Leipzig is not a small team as we expected, they are playing the match very well compared to Real Madrid, they are creating chances but no clinical person to convert them; they have more dangerous attacks than Madrid and they have more shot on goal thank Madrid, this shows that any opponent is important and not to be underrated in the Champions League.

Manchester City on the other hand has finished the game from first half, the aggregate is already over of them because Manchester City have already made the same score the line looks like it was in the first leg.

[Falconer]

Only 1 goal scored for Haaland and Real Madrid still 0-0.

What is happening?

By the way the aggregate result for Real is still 1-0 so they are risking of going to extra time.

Manchester City closed the first half with a 3-1 win, meaning they were 6-2 up on aggregate. Copenhagen could not match Manchester City's high level of play because the two teams had differences in the quality and depth of their squad. Pep Guardiola is aware of this and prefers not to play all his best players, that is an advantage he has in this match.

On the other hand, Real Madrid still had to fight in the second half to score a goal so that their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals were safe. For the first half, Leipzig played well and they threatened several times in defense. Luckily Leipzig hasn't been able to score a goal, but I hope Real Madrid's defensive concentration can be improved because I think Leipzig is very dangerous in this match.

As you know, Real Madrid is a team that likes to come back, but this is not always guaranteed, so they should not fall behind when they have the advantage in this match.

Real Madrid has been a team to watch this season... from their league  matches to champions league have all been an excitement but their match against Leipzig during the first leg was a big shock as we expected a more convincing win margin even if the one goal was ennough for a win... Another  aspect that i think the Real champions league legends are lacking  is scoring.. The need a top scorer for finishes and probably the coming of mbape will add the much needed seasoning to the team

As for the second leg today, we all know real madrid will come out victorious tonight considering their long run of form.. Manchester city too will have a smooth win with no doubt

I'm amazed by how Leipzig is playing Real Madrid in the first half, Madrid isn't putting up much effort in the match despite leading 1-0 on aggregate. Ancelotti needs to speak with them in the dressing room, since 1-0 is not a goal if the game is not over. because anything can happen and any mistakes madrid do now and Leipzig get the opportunity and score goal in the second half, he will be difficult for Madrid to add another goal because Leipzig are playing well is just that they have not get the chance in the box to score, madrid need to change this information because he will not favour them in this match, they should stop playing defending games, they need to add 1-0 in this match to make them more comfortable that they will qualify to next round. If Madrid continues to play as they did in the first half, Leipzig will have a chance to score, and he may lead Madrid to perform poorly, allowing Leipzig to go to the next round of the competition.
