UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

I am also in line with your opinion about the difficulty of PSG surviving the second leg win at the Barcelona's Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys stadium to qualify for the semifinals. Unlike you mentioned, I think they will be playing at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys not Camp Nou stadium but it is definitely at Barcelona's home and they are always good at taking advantage of their home stadiums.

Now, the aggregate between both clubs stands out Barcelona with a goal ahead of PSG in a 2-3 during their last game hosted at the Parc Des Princes in France by the PSG on the 10th of this month. The mistake that was made by the PSG was allowing Raphinha to launch the first goal before Dembele's reverted. If PSG must win today's match they must plan and work hard on an early goal and still work for more.

Based on Barcelona history in the UCL, playing at home has never lost in more than the last 5 matches. Therefore, there will be a strong reason that in Leg 2, Barcelona will still maintain its consistency against PSG. I think PSG is under more pressure than the hosts who are mentally superior on the field even though they are filled with several young players. PSG needs to use all their abilities in this match because if they fail again it will be a curse for the big French team which has led the top of the Domestic League for several seasons. I know League 1 is not a benchmark because it is relatively not as interesting as other European Leagues. Here, the comparison between clubs that were formed with a tight game mentality and clubs that are too comfortable with monotonous games without challenges in their respective leagues is very clear.

I also think that Barcelona should make it to the semi-finals, but PSG is not such an easy team and anything can happen, if Mbappe has a good day, then PSG can win, of course, today’s match will be very difficult for PSG, Barcelona lost at home only to strong teams, such as Real or Girona, but PSG is also a strong team, and Enrique has nothing to lose, they needs to attack, because they only need a victory.

Barcelona has taken one step to the semifinals but Barcelona's position to really be sure of qualifying is still in doubt. Don't see PSG as a team that will always fail in the Champions League competition.
Barcelona needs a draw while PSG needs a win. Imagine how many goals PSG would need if they lost the first leg 2-3. The victory that PSG wants is not an easy task, which Enrique realizes, even though he has managed Barcelona as head coach.

It could also be that in this 2nd leg match, PSG made history at home to Barcelona when they beat them with a score of 1-4 in 2021 even though at that time Barcelona was very bad under Ronald Koeman.

Romano has confirmed that if neuer and. sane will able to play against arsenal soon. The way arsenal to win the game is just getting even tougher since one of best goal keeper back again to his position. I strongly believe if neuer is gonna be the great wall for arsenal to pass it.

I hope that sane will be playing in the game against arsenal. It will help club a lot in securing a position to go to the semi final. Arteta must be ready for that caused by bayern has no burden since leverkusen took bundesliga.

It's now having UCL as another trophy to be won. Arsenal may be doing shit in the upcoming games since this club has very weak mentality.

Probably another lose for arsenal is awaiting.

Barcelona have the advantage over PSG in the second leg which will take place tonight. I can't imagine PSG advancing to the next stage of the competition rather I prefer Barcelona to move to the next round because PSG doesn't look like a team that's hungry for the title. Take Arsenal for instance, they haven't played champions league football for a very long time and you don't expect them to start joking about it after reaching this very stage but for the PSG this is the best they have gotten so far and they're messing it up.

PSG are not messing things up but they were unlucky in the first leg of the quarter finals. They were leading but felt relaxed and allowed Barcelona to outscore them. Barcelona were better than PSG in spite of PSG equalising Barcelona goal and scoring another to be leading them at the start of the second half. PSG are not very experienced in the champions league while Barcelona wants to prove that they are a champion league club. The game that will be played today will be a very though game as both clubs would not want to let down their fans and let the coach down. The game is still a close one because PSG can score two goals and decide to not come out to play again but pack the bus which will be difficult for Barcelona to score and PSG will win the quarter finals to move on to the semi finals.

It's as if it's easy to score two goals against Barcelona. Parking the bus against that team isn't that effective either as only a few teams could achieve that. I think this is going to be an open game with PSG on the attack from kickoff and that's also when Barca will counter.

Barcelona has the upper hand in this match. They just have to avoid defeat in their home that's not too big task for them not to execute. They were able to score 3 goals at Paris last week, if they can replicate that form I think they will manage to scale through to the semi finals. Although PSG will not go down that easily. They will be more determine this time. But the reality is that PSG can still come here and upset Barcelona. Barcelona shouldn't be relaxed because they got a favourable first leg result. They have to play as if they are the ones trailing PSG. I expect to see a good show in tomorrow's game.

Winning 3-2 on aggregate basically doesn't make Barcelona comfortable, it still risks failure if PSG can score 2 goals in the second leg while Barcelona can't do much. I agree that Barcelona is slightly superior in their home games to PSG, but this is not a guarantee that Barcelona can maintain its form and win the match.

I tend to hope that Barcelona draws in the second leg rather than winning, of course a draw could make Barcelona qualify for the semifinals. However, if Barcelona can maintain their form and win the match then it is clear that Barcelona looks really serious about qualifying for the final this season.

In my opinion, it is impossible for PSG to make a comeback in the second leg, because they will play at the Camp Nou, it is very difficult for PSG to put pressure on Barcelona, ​​although nothing is impossible, but in reality it is very difficult for the clubs out there to turn things around, Barcelona just needs  Just a draw to ensure they qualify for the next round and that would be an extraordinary achievement. In several seasons they have always been knocked out in the group preliminary round, so it is very clear that Xavi's squad's ambition is to prepare players who are quite modest but strong in the individual game so it doesn't matter.  It would be surprising if Barcelona is able to compete in the European caste this season.

It was an interesting outcomes last week having the only two Spanish clubs in the champions league won their first leg games, more interestingly was Barcelona been able to snatch an away victory in France from PSG. I can not agree more but to say that PSG can only give in their best in tonights' game at the Camp Nou but won't get that victory they failed to get in their own home. All what Barcelona could be fighting for now is a draw even though they are new with a great advantage to win the match as home team and with their fans to cheer them up.

Comparison check  Barcelona has a fine coordinated team than PSG in terms of how the team is built for goals scoring, whereas Mbappe is just one major man that is majorly expected of goals in PSG team before all else and holding down Mbappe is like stopping PSG from seeing the light of day In any PSG games. I do believe that if Xavi was able to do it away he can also repeat it at home with his boys in this champions league competition.

There's no doubt that Manuel Neuer and Lory Sane are good additions to the Bundesliga side. But then, Neuer despite his experience is ageing and also coming back from injury will need enough time to reinforce. If Tuchel because of the champions league pressure introduces someone who is not fit, he will definitely pay for it darely.

Honestly, I haven't watched PSG closely since the Mbappe saga began. And it also seems that Kylian is dropping in form. I know his ability when he wants to perform. Only Mbappe can boss the Barcelona team out of his way. I don't believe it is over for the Paris side. Something spectacular might happen tonight.

Barcelona will likely stay unbeaten at home in the second leg. Hopefully, they'll take the lead in the first half, but PSG might close the gap with a Kylian Mbappe stunner. There will be plenty of goals, but Barcelona will win the second leg that's all. Mbappe struggled against Barcelona's defense, and they'll aim to contain him again tonight. Enrique has coached Barcelona before, but that won't change anything today. However, there are a lot of uncertainties ahead for sure.

Today in the Champions League Barcelona hosts PSG in a rematch of the first leg. In the first leg, both teams had big problems in defense, but they were effective in attack. In this match, I think both teams will be effective on the offensive line again and all eyes will be on Kylian Mbappe. If Mbappe is in form unlike the first match, I think PSG will be at the forefront in this match. PSG will be my favorite in this match.

Also this evening, one of the most enjoyable matches will be between Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. A.Madrid made the difference in the first leg with their starting performance. A.Madrid managed to score in the first half and Dortmund dominated possession in the second half. In the last period of the match, Dortmund created dangerous positions and A.Madrid's defense was weak at times against these attacks. Dortmund continued their claim for the round by scoring a goal. However, in the first match they drew attention with their individual mistakes, especially in the defense. There could be goals against each other in this match as well, but Dortmund are one step ahead with the home advantage.

He failed to score in leg 1 but he seems to be in good form if we look at League 1. Maybe he can do something special tonight or maybe he'll be defended well - who knows? Let's see how the managers adjust their game plan. I didn't bet here as I have no dog in this so I can only hope to see an entertaining match.

[hyudien]

PSG might have more difficulty at Barcelona headquarters. But their opportunities are still quite open with only 1 goal behind. Because now it is no longer strange to see the home team losing. but I will favorite Barcelona of course. Because the biggest possibility is that victory will still be on the home side.

With an aggregate of 3-2, I don't think Barcelona should feel happy and as if it would be easy to win. Because for PSG this match is the final match to give their best even if they need to play hard, it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will do it in order to score a goal. Playing at Barcelona home ground, the hosts are the favorites and are very motivated to dominate the field, but PSG as the visiting team does not want the match to be easy for their opponents. Enrique should try his best not to make mistakes in his defense, there is still a chance for them to score 1 goal to equalize. Because usually if the score position is the same then the game conditions are reversed.

Yes, Barcelona should not lose at home. Barcelona was previously able to win the away game against PSG and in the second leg when playing at home, of course it is not something that makes things difficult for Barcelona, they are free to do whatever they want without worrying about PSG making things difficult for them, yes, maybe PSG will play more aggressively because of the obstacles. They will be tested in the second leg, but in my opinion, the possible result that PSG will get in the match is a draw because Barcelona's defense is very strong and if they achieve a draw, Barcelona will automatically win this round and ensure they qualify for the semifinals.

Hopefully Xavi will be able to provide his best strategy like before when competing away and provide good attacks even though playing at home is not an easy thing for Barcelona because PSG is very motivated to qualify for the next round, Barcelona itself is also motivated to get the Champions League title even in terms of squad Real Madrid and Manchester City are more convincing than Barcelona.

[rendravolt]

Maybe Barcelona will send PSG home tonight? and will PSG not be able to do anything to change its fate? I think the outlook so far is still gray and everything is still difficult to predict. Barcelona's advantage is as hosts in the second leg and PSG is clearly quite difficult to reverse the situation even though the difference is only 1 aggregate goal.

PSG could have won if they played as a complete team and had to focus everything in this match. They have to forget about the mistakes in the first leg and do something different at home to Barcelona if they don't want to go home early. Apart from that, they should have no problems with other work considering that the domestic league is definitely in their hands. The most important thing now is to get through to the semifinals and I think even if they can, they have to get rid of Barcelona first but that's not an easy thing. The Blaugrana will win as much as possible and they will not let in a goal at home.

Because usually if the score position is the same then the game conditions are reversed.

What I see is that Barcelona has a bigger chance than PSG because they will play at home. Of course, PSG won't just give up like that but it will be a very hard struggle. If Barcelona plays like how they usually play (playing their attacking football) then it will make things even more difficult for PSG because Barcelona has the opportunity to increase their aggregate score. However, if Barcelona chooses to play defensive football, it will actually be an opportunity for PSG to catch up.

With the advantage they have now, Barcelona must remain alert because after all, Luis Enrique knows Barcelona quite well and he might still have a strategy that can turn things around.

Maybe Barcelona will send PSG home tonight?

PSG will return to their home after this match, no matter what its result is.

and will PSG not be able to do anything to change its fate? I think the outlook so far is still gray and everything is still difficult to predict. Barcelona's advantage is as hosts in the second leg and PSG is clearly quite difficult to reverse the situation even though the difference is only 1 aggregate goal.

PSG still shows their weak mentality that is not good for important match like this. Mbappe with his last season for PSG will want to do something to win Champions League and to be marked in PSG history. This match is a big test for him after a first disappointed match last week. PSG don't have too ability to adjust their tactics and attacking power to other players if Mbappe is controlled. They usually become useless team if Mbappe becomes useless in a match.

The most important thing now is to get through to the semifinals and I think even if they can, they have to get rid of Barcelona first but that's not an easy thing. The Blaugrana will win as much as possible and they will not let in a goal at home.

I really doubt that Barcelona will let PSG come to Nou Camp and go home with a win. They are both big clubs, with many star players but Barcelona has better traditional in Europe and Champions League. With more experience than PSG, Barcelona have good advantage to beat PSG at Nou Camp. With weak mentality, if Barcelona scores first, PSG have risk of collapse by themselves.

Adopting a defensive style in this kind of match will be a wrong approach. The best way to defend is to have a good defensive midfield and an effective counterattacking force. I doubt any of these teams will play defensively because they both play attacking football. Notwithstanding, PSG will be playing under pressure because they lost at home and the coach might lose his job if they are knocked out of the competition. Barca can capitalise on the pressure to get a good result. I will not be surprised if any of them move to the semi-finals because they are qualified to be there.

I don't sure Barcelona has opportunity to kick out PSG in Champion League although has advantage with the victory on the first leg match, PSG had good memorize last several season make come back and Barcelona still has bad perform on second leg match with easily get come back after leading the first leg match.
PSG have aggressive game play on the early minutes if can scoring one or two goals on the first half seems will make easily controlling the game on second half until securing the victory, but Barcelona will controlling ball possession and make PSG difficult for create as many attempt. I am so excited with this match the same on the first leg match with many goals scoring, wish both team more offensive and try scoring as many possibility goals on first and second half match.

Yes that's what I predicted where PSG will go home after the match in the second leg, although this is still difficult but Barcelona's chances are much greater than PSG who only rely on tonight's game, obviously this will not be easy Barcelona is much better.

Not so sure of the complete team he has here I am talking where Barcelona's mentality is much safer than PSG even though there are a myriad of talented players it will still be difficult for UCL matches.
For me there is no other hope maybe someone else will say a different opinion, I bet on Barcelona.

[bastisisca]

In my opinion, it is impossible for PSG to make a comeback in the second leg, because they will play at the Camp Nou, it is very difficult for PSG to put pressure on Barcelona,--cut--

at these levels you know everything is possible, you never know how the players get excited or if they have a serious motivator
honestly I think like you, given that PSG seems like a poorly composed puzzle of players, so it will definitely happen as you say
but I wouldn`t take it for granted and I wouldn`t give PSG for dead before seeing it play

In essence, although any result can happen but still, PSG does not really have a good chance of being able to turn things around. Because after all, the fact is that in the first leg also all predictions about PSG's superiority have Mbappe and also Enrique still did not make PSG easy to beat Barcelona. With the results in the first leg and considerations about the quality and chances that PSG currently has, I believe that PSG is still not good enough to be able to advance further in the Champion League this time. Although PSG is only playing against Barcelona but still, at this moment Barcelona really has a good ability to be able to maintain the aggregate victory it has and thus, I believe Barcelona will still qualify for the next round and not PSG.
