Atletico Madrid seemed to be really frustrated because they were so hard to attack to Inter's  defense. Actually, Both Atletico Madrid and Inter did great job, but in this case, Inter did much better in attacking. they are more offensive although they actually also faced some difficulties during the match.

Both teams implemented a different strategy, Inter Milan played with repeated attacks because they are targeting victory at home while Atletico Madrid applied a defensive game and hoped that the match ended in a draw unfortunately Atletico Madrid's defense managed to break in the 80th minute and Inter Milan locked the victory.

It's not unusual to find Atletico Madrid defending in a game where they aren't sure of victory, especially when they are playing a better and in form side like Inter Milan. Worst still in this encounter, Inter is playing from a home side. Simeone would always try to defend and not conceive with hopes that, by some chance they night catch Inter Milan on a counter attack and get something out of it but, how well does this strategy works, you eventually get pressured to conceive. When your not taking the game to them and your defense is constantly been tested, they are sure to find the break at some point and get a winning goal.
AC Milan needs to be more attacking, they've got a squad that give them that attacking power.

But Simeone is also the kind of coach who is ok with a 0-1 for the second leg because he has had some outrageous fights in the past in their home stadium. Losing this game 0-1 doesn't bother him, I am sure about that. Of course if for so long it is tied at 0-0, the goal is and must be to take it home or to get that lucky punch and even win they have the quality to score goals. But at the same time Atletico knew that they are against the best team in Europe maybe next to Manchester City and Real Madrid and you usually don't beat these teams in their home stadium. I can already see in front of my eyes how crazy the second leg will be from the first second to the last.

Inter - A.Madrid game was good, Inter played well and won. Inter is the favorite in this matchup and they will most likely win this matchup.

PSV Eindhoven - Borussia Dortmund ended in a draw, which is good news for Dortmund because I think they will have a comfortable win at home.

In domestic competitions, in terms of results they are not too bad but looking at the last few matches they have done we must be aware that there are so many shortcomings that Barcelona must fix in this regard.
We must be aware in the last 5 matches even though the positive results they always get but in the end we know their problems are still very much especially in their scheme and defense.

Barcelona always do the tiki taka scheme that characterizes them but precisely because of that they are always unable to focus on defense which in the end it hurts themselves.
We must be aware that when Barcelona attacks by trying to lock up their opponent's defense, they are always inconvenienced because their own defense is always a lot of gaps, which in the end many goals scored by the opponents they face, such as the results against Granada, which even they must be willing to share points in that match.

For the Champions League facing Napoli is not an easy matter even though Napoli are in pain now because their performance is far from expectations but we realize that Barcelona's performance is also still a lot of gaps that will be very easy to penetrate.

Well Barcelona are really one big team especially across their league and coming down to Europe as they’re one team that have made a name for themselves both in titles and in the pattern of football. I think no matter how bad a team plays there are some teams that’ll still be considered as big boys in Europe. Barcelona happens to be one of these many teams. Though at the moment the club is passing through a phase and as we know when a bad phase is happening the club in general suffers it and you can see that in how the players perform on the pitch.

 Over the last few matches though they’ve had good results bit they were all wins based on maybe luck and hard struggle and that’s not what this team is known for. The tiki taka style of play till they fall your defense line flat and get the ball at the back of the net is what they’re known for. But due to their present predicament of not being able to sign players and the injury crisis, they seem not to have the adequate or best and quality players to play with this style. not just that, you can also see that the defense line isn’t rock solid anymore like we used to know Barca for and that’s one big issue they’ll be having heading into the UCL. They’ll be facing Napoli who’ve got fast attackers that can take on this shaky defense and this is a big worry because judging from the predicament of Barca, I’m sure going to bank on Napoli to be able to qualify past them to the next round of this competition.

Inter - A.Madrid game was good, Inter played well and won. Inter is the favorite in this matchup and they will most likely win this matchup.

After Arnautovic entered the game, Inter started to have very clear positions. I think Inter dominated the game with this change. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, played without a striker and were ineffective. I think Diego Simeone made a wrong choice. He played Griezman as a striker and brought Morata into the game too late. Inter came close to passing the round with this score, but they could have gone into the second leg with a more comfortable score. I think they missed a lot of clear positions in this game.

[SOKO-DEKE]

The match between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid is gonna be decided by how Atletico Madrid wake up today, if they wake up in a good mood, we can expect a surprise on the Giussepe Meazza and see a win for the spaniard team, if they dont wake up in a good mood we can expect a dominan Inter and a win like 1 or two null for them.

Actually, this is a difficult match even though we know Intermilan are favorites to win, but Atletico Madrid certainly won't give Inter Milan a win that easily because they can make things difficult during the match, Atletico Madrid often make surprises, for that I won't underestimate them though playing as a guest, I bet on Inter Milan but I don't want to say that Atletico Madrid is easy to beat, my prediction is maybe Inter Milan will win narrowly because Atletico Madrid will provide quite tough resistance today.

Yes, with Inter Milan's great performances in their domestic league compared to Atletico Madrid's performances, it is clear that Inter Milan was the favorite team to win the game. Now that the game has ended, Inter Milan was able to win the game with a score of 1-0, which shows that the game was not easy for Inter Milan at all. 

There's no need to see whether Atletico Madrid is in good shape or not, but so far they have always given surprises when playing against strong and great clubs. For example, against Madrid, sometimes they make things difficult, that's why Inter Milan still have to be aware of that and be careful when playing. Simone Inzaghi must use a special strategy to face Simeone's men today, it is likely that this match will show their best game. I definitely won't miss this match to watch because I bet on Inter Milan.  

Football is full of surprises, so it's not just Atletico that never fails to surprise us; there are plenty of other teams that do the same, but it doesn't guarantee them victory over a team in excellent form. If someone were to pick a team that performs poorly, I doubt they would pick them to win because they do occasionally get lucky when they play against strong teams. The sole reason that Atletico Madrid consistently makes it difficult for a powerful club to win is due to their defensive style of play when facing such powerful opponents.

PSV Eindhoven - Borussia Dortmund ended in a draw, which is good news for Dortmund because I think they will have a comfortable win at home.

The UEFA matches tonight was entertaining. I canceled my schedule because I picked interest in one of these UCL round of 16 games, it was Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid and the home side humbled the away team with 1-0 victory. The goal scored by the Nerazzurri frontline, Arnautovic who was never calm, merely watching at him on the pitch, he was too tasty for a goal and he deliver his team when they needed him. I've full confidence of Inter Milan qualifying for next round because the first leg is sealed with winning, they will travel to Spain and probably secured draw tie.

As for the game between PSV Eindhoven vs Borrusia Dortmund, it ended in 1-1 draw tie, lucky enough I didn't
include this fixtures because it would have shortened my expectations of grabbing major winnings regarding my betting. Both teams struggled to make the difference but rather consider too late for them because there was no other way than draw tie. Perhapes, we would wait patiently for the second leg, let's see which of these teams will be eliminated and the ones that's qualifying for next phase, simple as that.

Inter - A.Madrid game was good, Inter played well and won. Inter is the favorite in this matchup and they will most likely win this matchup.

PSV Eindhoven - Borussia Dortmund ended in a draw, which is good news for Dortmund because I think they will have a comfortable win at home.

Inter Milan should win today match because they managed to show their best strength when facing Atletico madrid. Inzaghi is certainly quite satisfied with the results of today's match, because even though they won the match with a narrow score, it means a lot to them for the second leg later. Atletico Madrid defense is quite strong, but when the opponent continues to attack, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid players to remain under pressure. Inter Milan were runners up last season, of course their mentality is stronger to win the matches they play.

A draw is not very good but when playing away from home it is better for them to accept. In the second leg, Dortmund must play stronger to find victory because that is a good opportunity for them to pursue in the second leg. Several teams have shown their strength in the first leg so my assumption is that dortmund and Inter milan can qualify for the next round.

[bering]

Inter Milan has successfully to utilized their home match today that they can able to overcomes Atletico Madrid with narrow score although this result still not fully secured but at least Inter Milan can able to gets the winning result from Atletico Madrid and Lautaro Martinez was became an dangerous player for Atletico Madrid because although he didn't scores but his movement is hard to guarded by Atletico Madrid players and during the match Inter Milan has successfully to pressed Atletico Madrid with very well which make Atletico Madrid didn't gets much opportunities to scores

On the other hand i have to says Dortmund performance at champion league is very consistent because they can performing well and in my opinion Dortmund performance is slightly better than PSV because during the match they can able to threaten PSV defensive lines several times and Dortmund even can able to leading the game before De Jong can equalized the score from penalty kick but this result is very favourable for Dortmund because they will playing at their home ground in the second leg and not required win with big scores to advances to the quarterfinal because Dortmund only required win with 1-0 and at their home it is very possible to do so

Atletico Madrid seemed to be really frustrated because they were so hard to attack to Inter's  defense. Actually, Both Atletico Madrid and Inter did great job, but in this case, Inter did much better in attacking. they are more offensive although they actually also faced some difficulties during the match.

Atletico Madrid didn't shot a single shot towards the net according to these stats which is so bad if we add also to it a reduced number of serious attempts to score. This defeat wasn't good for sure but taking only one goal away give them an opportunity to try to win once playing in their home.

For me, PSV Eindhoven 1 - 1 Borussia Dortmund match was more interesting but unfortunately Dortmund couldn't keep their positive result.
I think these both games will be concluded in the second leg. I mean even a single victory isn't enough to be confident that team will pass..

Dortmund got a very good result for sure. I meant that if this guy was performing so crazily and i think that it's quite clear that if there are no superior clubs in this game. Dortmund played equally against PSV. The statistic indirectly said that if it's telling us about the truth. Dortmund was not able owning the game and this is also my main reason to call that if PSV can't
be considered as a weak team. Im thinking about all of possibilities that may be happening in this game. This is the same like the result between atletico madrid vs intermilan. As you can see that serie a club has a very strong defensive line. Atletico madrid can't even create a single shoot on target.
Simeone has been putting all of its players to play defensively as always agianst intermilan. The game is becoming even more difficult for intermilan caused by these clubs were playing with 5 midfielders. It was also the situation can't be predicted easily but thanks for amautovic that creates aggregate for atletico madrid.
I do like the way intermilan is playing use the same strategy. I see that atletico find it's very difficult to break it. putting 5 midfielders to keep the mid of team. It can also sometimes becoming a wall that protect the defenders and goal keeper too.
This is good result for dortmund coz the second leg will happen at home. Dortmund will be in advantage.

[AYOBA]

PSV gets the chance for the final kick.
The result for this moment is 1 : 1
And in the end PSV was able to match Dortmund's game. It's quite unfortunate here, once again Dortmund made mistakes that weren't really necessary. Meanwhile, for now, it is quite difficult for them to attack PSV to their crucial line. And now, conditions are getting even more difficult when the match is a draw. The results will be even more worrying because PSV sometimes gives unpleasant surprises to their opposing clubs.

The match between PSV and Dortmund was extremely difficult tonight since I wasn't expecting Dortmund to get the first goal, but they made a valiant attempt and dominated the first goal in the opening half. Because I know Dortmund isn't very strong, I was hoping PSV will win the match, but I'm not sure if it would end in a draw. PSV was also fortunate in that they attempted to improve their performance in the second half; otherwise, they would not have been able to level. Honestly, Dortmund played the match with a really serene mind; they truly wanted to win against PSV. They attempted to take advantage of PSV's poor performance in first half, that they would be easily defeated, but it was not occur. PSV prevented them from winning the match that's why they put much effort and make the match ended in draw.

[udidrone]

Inter Milan has successfully to utilized their home match today that they can able to overcomes Atletico Madrid with narrow score although this result still not fully secured but at least Inter Milan can able to gets the winning result from Atletico Madrid and Lautaro Martinez was became an dangerous player for Atletico Madrid because although he didn't scores but his movement is hard to guarded by Atletico Madrid players and during the match Inter Milan has successfully to pressed Atletico Madrid with very well which make Atletico Madrid didn't gets much opportunities to scores

Well at least Inter Milan is a little more comfortable to undergo the next second leg match I mean they will play without burden because they only need a draw to qualify for the next stage, Atletico Madrid is quite successful in applying defensive games because only conceded one goal, even though Inter Milan should be able to score 2 goals based on opportunities and shots. Meanwhile the match between PSV and Dortmund must end in a draw well, this should be an advantage for Dortmund I'm sure Dortmund will secure positions after the second leg. Indeed, Dortmund did not play optimally in the Bundesliga but in the Champions League they could be relied upon.

[Spot0nGamechain]

Well, if Dortmund was able to score only one more, I'd be richer for about a 100k FUN now. I mean PSV ain't bad, but I really expected them to at least hold their ground, and knowing them, knew they'd need at least 2 to successfully take them down

[tsaroz]

It is going to be a hot contested 2nd leg game between Atletico Madrid and  Inter Milan on Metropolitano. Inter clearly played better than the visiting side, creating more opportunities. Jan Oblak was busy most of the time. And the goal was scored after Oblak failed to properly collect the ball. Can't say who would come victorious.
PSV too played well creating more chances than Dortmund but failed to score. The goal from Malen for Dortmund was an impressive one while the penalty awarded for PSV was not actually a penalty worthy tackle. Anyway, Dortmund would still have an advantage of tie with their home game left to play. I'm quite sure Dortmund would make it further.

[makishart]

In another match Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid entered the 70th minute without a goal but it seems that Inter Milan did not want to lose this opportunity and they continued to storm at least 12 shot efforts were made unfortunately the accuracy is bad. Although the match left a few minutes but Atletico Madrid was not safe, we know that Inter Milan can change the score at any time because they have great players.

Atletico Madrid seemed to be really frustrated because they were so hard to attack to Inter's  defense. Actually, Both Atletico Madrid and Inter did great job, but in this case, Inter did much better in attacking. they are more offensive although they actually also faced some difficulties during the match.

This is why the defensive line of atletico madrid was not so solid compared to the intermilan. Intermilan was about consistently attacking atletico madrid even though it was trying so hard to defense but as you can see that intermilan has better quality in term of defensive line compared to the atletico madrid.
I think that there will be no difference for the second leg. It will keep perform so badly against intermilan. Inter was not only solid but it has also very good chemistry. Having some great players which are great in doing long pass was helping the club a lot.
Interimlan has been owning atletico madrid. Diego simeone has no clue about how to beat intermilan. The club must be trying so hard in the second leg to beat it. The good thing if atletico madrid was losing with narrow score against intermilan.
Playing at home will become the best place to do revenge against intermilan. intermilan is very very strong club. It has very good performance in term of defense against its opponent. Im feeling so damn good with the performance from intermilan. it feels ike that this is one of major club.
Intermilan may potentially win UCL this season as long as it can beat atletico madrid in the second leg.

Both teams implemented a different strategy, Inter Milan played with repeated attacks because they are targeting victory at home while Atletico Madrid applied a defensive game and hoped that the match ended in a draw unfortunately Atletico Madrid's defense managed to break in the 80th minute and Inter Milan locked the victory. Yeah even though Inter Milan won today but in the second leg we don't know how the two teams play what is clear is that Inter Milan is completely not safe.

I can also say that Inter Milan are not saved because if they won yesterday’s match against Atletico Madrid in a home game, what will they expect when they come for the second leg? Even though we know that yesterday’s game was a bit interesting, until the moment that Arnautovic won the first goal for Inter Milan, that was what made me feel somehow because Atletico Madrid are just playing a defending game, but Inter Milan keep attacking but also have their defence intact. I even taught Atletico Madrid to definitely equalise; it was so hard for them because they were not even able to make a single shot on target towards the net of their opponents.

But it is now a past story. What we are expected to look forward to is their second leg, which I know Atletico Madrid will never make easy on Inter Milan since there are even play and away game, not like this one that is a home game for Inter Milan, so I know Inter Milan will come ready so that they can make it to the quarterfinals, but I can say it will be very hard for Inter Milan to have such luck on Atletico Madrid, but say less. It is just a game; anything can happen.

Previously, Arsenal had slipped in several of their matches, especially after the draw against Liverpool in Week 18. after that, the Gunners experienced consecutive defeats. two in the Premier League, one match again against Liverpool in the FA Cup. after Arsenal's poor results, Mikel Arteta's squad returned with an impressive performance. in their last 5 matches, Arsenal scored 21 goals against opposing teams and only conceded 2 times in 5 matches. It's really quite an impressive performance, even though it was initially doubtful that Arsenal would be able to compete fiercely again in their domestic league competition. now, the Gunners will travel to Porto's home ground at the Estadio do Dragao in the Champions League last 16 match. in this match, the Gunners are favored by the bookies with odds @1.68.

Meanwhile for the home team, their progress was not so smooth in the Geup H phase. they lost 2 times, and finished in second place. in fact, Porto's performance in the Domestic League is not that bad. they are in 3rd place in the standings, even though they have a difference of 7 points from those ranked above them. well, the difference is that even though Porto is the home team, the bookies favor Arsenal in this meeting. based on bookie odds, Porto with odds @5.20. well, it seems there is a gap that we can see based on the odds and team performance. this match will be held tomorrow, so we look forward and wait.

However, this did not last long and after achieving a draw with Liverpool the mentality of Arsenal players dropped a little and they experienced several defeats, but in the second half of the season they were in very good performance. I think Mikel Arteta has motivated his players to return to their best performance. like at the start of this season so they are back competing fiercely in the competition they are facing and it is true that in the last few matches Arsenal have achieved satisfactory results and the players are starting to be active in attacking and this is a very good improvement because I want to see Arsenal putting enough pressure tough on Porto in tomorrow's match.

Porto's group phase was not smooth even though they were in second place, but the points Porto and Barcelona have are the same, namely 12 points, so both are still considered to have equal performance, while Arsenal themselves came out as group winners by collecting 13 points, slightly better than Porto, but yes. The competition between the two is different, but I am quite sure that Arsenal's current performance is no longer in doubt, especially looking at the odds. Of course, Arsenal is the favorite to win this match, but because this is an away match for Arsenal, we also have to be careful because the home team usually put pressure bigger on the visiting club.

An interesting match between psv vs dortmund but in my opinion psv holding dortmund is good enough because in terms of quality and squad dortmund is better. but in leg 2 psv will experience difficulties because psv must play in dortmund's home but psv is still possible to make a surprise even though playing away in dortmund's home.

[reagansimms]

AC Milan needs to be more attacking, they've got a squad that give them that attacking power.

As previously thought, Inter would take advantage of the home match to win in the first leg. Marko Arnautovic goal gave Inter Milan a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, this result is certainly an important asset for Inter heading into the quarter-finals. Atletico were not able to do much in this match, Inter managed to lock them up with a very brilliant game. Inter's appearance this season is more competitive after reaching the Champions League Final last season. A performance like this is an important asset for Inter to win the UCL title, it is very realistic to be able to reach the final round again if they are able to maintain their performance.

Actually the victory over one goal is not really secure Inter Milan for second leg match, since home and away goals format in Champion League removing there are not really important when second leg match Inter scored goal against Atletico Madrid but they loss aggregate have to continue penalty kick. But not bad capital lead one goal and for second leg match Inter Milan can play full defensive and get match result draw have been enough for securing quarter final ticket.
Too early for predicting Inter Milan has opportunity will lead to final round in Champion League competition back to back because last season Inter got luckiness with easily opponent teams in drawing schedule since 16 of round until final round. I can't sure if possibility Inter Milan has to face Real Madrid or Manchester City in the quarter or semifinal round can defeat both strong team for qualifying to final round.

Atletico Madrid's performance against Inter Milan was not that good yesterday. Atletico Madrid managed to have seven attempts with no shot on target, which even made Inter Milan's goalkeeper more relaxed. If Inter Milan can stop Atletico Madrid from scoring in their return match, I think Inter Milan will qualify for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
