UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

There will second match of quarter finals at 16 and 17 of April. There are Borussia Dortmund-Atletico Madrid and Barcelona-PSG matches tonight. Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have the advantage over PSG and Atletico Madrid in the second leg which will take place tonight. So my assume Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona will be played in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

I'm counting on Kylian Mbappe,  less dribbles, maybe avoid the unnecessary dribbles, find himself in the right place at all times and make sure he is always sure if his next plan with the ball.
I still don't rely on this Paris Saint Germany squad, they might be doing heaven and earth when it get to league one game but the Champions League Competition? Thus is a total different level of the game and mindset.
If Barcelona can successfully cage Kylian Mbappe same way they did last week, then they're winning the game moving to the next level of the Champions League Competition.

For Borrussia Dortmund, I always look at that team and laugh, they couldn't win the Bundesliga League Competition last season and they want to fight now in the Champions League?
They will definitely show up well tonight if they're to successfully move ahead.

The fact that Barcelona defeated PSG in the first leg away is a big advantage for them, but you have to remember that anything can happen at any moment and the ball is round.PSG could be the side that goes through without conceding a goal in this away game, which I wouldn't be surprised about. Although I think Barcelona will win this match, PSG is a team that has the potential to surprise.Barcelona is still in the race for the league title and I think they can rotate a little bit in this match.PSG is the more relaxed side and at least in this match they will give everything and fight to the end to win the match.

PSG's defense is not perfect, I'm not sure that they will be able to keep their goal without a goal, I looked at their statistics in home matches and did not find a single match where they could not score a goal, so I would not count on it. PSG needs to win with any score to at least send the game into extra time, but my opinion is that PSG should have won at home, and it will be difficult to do this at the Estadio Olimpico.

No defense system is perfect and problem with PSG is their defense system usually becomes more fragile and easily broken in important matches. It's not about player quality in defense system but it relates to their psychology that can not help them to feel confident about themselves.

I see it comes from their captain position too. Marquinhos makes mistakes individually and he does not have ability to boost his team mates so with PSG, when they get one conceded goal, they can easily be broken and collapsed. To win Champions League, they will need to find a stronger captain who can be a foundation for other players like Eric Cantona, Roy Kean, Patrick Viera in the past. Someone who only his appearance on field can help his team mates a lot in psychology.

There will second match of quarter finals at 16 and 17 of April. There are Borussia Dortmund-Atletico Madrid and Barcelona-PSG matches tonight. Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have the advantage over PSG and Atletico Madrid in the second leg which will take place tonight. So my assume Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona will be played in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Today's second leg will determine the fate of the 4 teams, so far Atletico Madrid is ahead of Borussia Dortmund with an aggregate of 2-1, so today we cannot say if Atletico Madrid is safe, because after all surely Borussia Dortmund will try to catch up with them at home, playing at home will certainly make Borussia Dortmund have high motivation to be able to turn things around and of course the support of fans will make them Increasingly ,Honestly, I think both teams will continue today's match until the penalty round because it is likely that Atletico Madrid will stay in the match, while Borussia Dortmund will again apply attacking play like in the first leg.

For the Barcelona and PSG match, of course it will be very difficult for us to guess who will win, because indeed both teams played quite evenly in the first leg even though PSG suffered a defeat, but I think Barcelona's victory in the first leg also cannot be a guarantee for them to qualify for the semi-finals easily, because for now surely PSG will look for ways to at least score 1 goals to secure their chances to the semi-finals.

Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have the advantage over PSG and Atletico Madrid in the second leg which will take place tonight. So my assume Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona will be played in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

What advantage do Dortmund and Barcelona have over their opponent or just because they are playing at home, it doesn't decide more on who got the better chances of winning, same happend to Madrid during their last match, since they played at home, many went in for Madrid to beat Mancity but later ended a tie, Barcelona won their last match while away. I just see today's fixtures as one very difficult to decide both teams are facing their opponents ferociously, we may probably see penalty deciding on who qualifies for the next round. Barcelona is already having the lead so they have a higher chance of qualifying and for Dortmund, they are down with a goal difference, if they want to qualify they should do better than previous games and more of defense.

I don't think there is a doubt in this game for Barcelona not to win again, if Barcelona can beat PSG in their home, they will surely beat them again in their home to Lock them out from this second leg because they have the opportunity to win the game 1:0 to achieve victory again.

Barcelona is a strong team, and they will not allow anything that will make people to guess that PSG will win the game than to possess the game very well to secure goals that will make them celebrate the way they celebrated in the first leg.

PSG will come with full force to attack Barcelona in this game but the opportunity for them to equalize the goals and still beat Barcelona today is not going to happen tonight

Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have the advantage over PSG and Atletico Madrid in the second leg which will take place tonight. So my assume Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona will be played in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

The fact that Dortmund lost 2-1 in the first leg and thus, it still seems noteasy for Dortmund to be able to turn things around in the second leg which will be played today. But indeed, Dortmund will play at home in this second leg and thus, there may still be a chance for Dortmund to be able to turn things around.But yes, at the sametime atleast if Atletico maximizes their defense, then it will certainly make it difficult for Dortmund to score in this second leg. But about PSG, of course the situation is bad because in this second leg PSG must play away and must turn things around to qualify for the semifinals. Therefore, PSG is in a more difficult situation compared to Dortmund in this second leg.

Barcelona managed to get an advantage in the first leg. Even a draw in this match would be enough for them. Paris Saint-Germain managed to take the lead in the first leg but couldn't keep the score. I expect Barcelona to play a better defense in this match. I think they will keep the score and the game in balance and play without taking risks. We saw 5 goals in the first match, but I think there will be fewer goals in this match. I see a very high probability that this match will end in a 1-1 draw or a 0-0 draw. I think Barcelona will not take any risks except to get enough score to pass the round.

[wiss19]

Winning a match is important advantage but Barcelona got double advantage by beating PSG at PSG home stadium. Now they will return to their home stadium and host PSG and with support from fans and a home stadium, Barcelona have many things to win in final result.

PSG will not give up but I really don't believe they will be strong enough mentally at Camp Nou and risk to lose there is big for PSG. Barcelona will use their main resources to control Mbppe and Dembele who are biggest risk for Barcelona defense system with their high speed. Other players in PSG are not too dangerous in attacking and can not play well to cover bad performances from Mbappe and Dembele.

Barcelona performance in first leg was impressive with this win things are taking good changes, and they are having fair chance for the win in this second leg game and also having spot into semifinal which will give them good booster as they were having too many problems in early rounds of this season, but now they are well settled and Xavi is also changing his mind which is helpful for them if they are looking for better results in future as well.

PSG is surely not easy team while they will be give their best for having better result in second leg and things could be interesting for the soccer fans but with most chances I have feeling today we will be able to have draw which will also favourable for the Barcelona, and we will be having another disappointing end for the PSG which is looking for the win in this event for the years.

Nothing can be expected from PSG at this time considering that if it will be using the same squad which is very bad for the club. Cubarsi is sufficient to prevent Mbappe from scoring and i think that this guy will become mbappe's biggest problem here. This guy is still 17 years old, but Mbappe struggled to pass him in the previous game. I expect the same things to happen with Mbappe and he needs to always be careful when he one on one against cubarsi. Cubarsi is important for Barcelona in reducing the attack from the right side caused by Mbappe, who will play as a winger again in the upcoming game. I don't expect PSG to change its strategy anytime soon. I believe Enrique will give the squad a minor chance, but it does not appear that it will be a major one. Mbappe must work even harder than he did in the first leg to secure a spot in the semi-finals soon.
Things will change dramatically when psg will be losing against barcelona soon. I expect something big to happen with it caused by this is gonna be the last season of mbappe in PSG. Barcelona may destroy PSG in the upcoming game.
Enrique must be fully prepared for this match and im hoping him will try to do his best to help his club to perform better, as it is PSG's final UCL match of the season. Mbappe will leave if PSG fails to reach the semifinals. His future is entirely dependent on the results of PSG at UCL.

[FanEagle]

I believe that PSG could still win, they are not a bad team and when Mbappe takes over a game he could do so much, remember the last world cup? We have seen him score twice back to back so quickly-, failed in the end but we know how he could take over games. We may end up seeing Mbappe do a lot better.

I think it should be something that we are not entirely certain about, this game could go either way. Plus, we have talked about how Barcelona wasn't that great most of the season, but then they started to do better, there is a reason why Xavi said that he wants to leave at the end of the season, the team wasn't doing that well and he wanted to leave. Maybe they are better now, but that doesn't change the fact that they are not "that" good.

[dezoel]

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.

We all know Champions League is event of the surprises and shocks with these things can take any stance right now we are having all eight teams into competition while Barcelona is now hosting PSG, and they are having one goal difference which is big advantage but still PSG can do anything and give surprise with Kylian Mbappé and Luis Enrique needs to be well organized for this game while Barcelona will be full confident and surely positive after having good changes in last few rounds.

Mostly peoples are backing Barcelona as they are having much better depth and their quality and consistency is also much better than PSG but still for me prediction is not easy because we all know how solid Mbappé and his performance in important games for his team is.

[Volgastallion]

I dont really know why, because all the history said otherwise, but i really feel like PSG is gonna make a big match tonight and take out Barcelona.

PSG has strongs fowards and Barcelona a weak defense, so everything can happen like in the first game, Luis Enrique is a good coach and he knows how to play this games, so i think PSG can prevail if the players believe on it.

[makishart]

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.

That's true the match today will not be easy on PSG because if Barcelona could come to their home and win them 3-2 what are the chances they are not gonna win them again as PSG will be going to their home today, is actually difficult match to predict because today match between PSG and Barcelona may likely not gonna be as their last match because this match determines what the faith of each team will be and if PSG lose the match they will be kick out, so they will be coming to this match with a full force and with all they have, meanwhile Barcelona on the other hand has more advantage on this match because their target is only to win or they draw while PSG needs only wining.

PSG was in very bad situation right now and it's hard to explain how PSG will able to win the game soon. Im considering that if PSG has no chance anymore to win against barcelona. This is the main problem that must be solved by enrique.
Barcelona's odds has explained it all. im sure that majority of bettors were taking barcelona to win this game and it's likely to happen. If barcelona will out from UCL and i strongly belieev xavi will out from blaugrana soon.

PSG needs to play offensively in order to surpass the aggregate owned by barcelona. The result from the first leg should have given a lot of lessons to the club about how to prevent barcelona.
Enrique must stop to play beautifully against barcelona. He needs to aim about how to win. Parking bus is the only solution here since xavi adapted the same straetgy used by the old barcelona when messi and him still played together.

Borussia Dortmund will host Atletico Madrid at home.Atletico managed to win 2-1 in the first meeting, but for Dortmund this match is more important.The champion of the league has been determined and they have to win this match to get a better result at least in the champions league. I don't expect Dortmund to be defeated at home, at least I think they have a good chance to get the same score and take the match to extra time.We can say that the match will end 2-1 and in extra time, maybe Atletico will be the side that will pass the round with its experience.Maybe it will not go to extra time at all and one side will pass the round early.

In last few games we have good performance from the Borussia Dortmund as they are doing good job and Atlético Madrid is having not good performance in away games which is creating good interest for the fans while Dortmund is also capable of doing good and have fair chance to go into semifinal of the Champions League while they are having problems in Bundesliga, but things are good for going into last four.

Atlético Madrid is well organized team, but their attack has never been ideal while they are now going for the away game which is also trouble for them because in recent matches they are having no idea performance so it's going to be well-balanced match for both sides to win and have their chance for the last four.

[QueenVera]

All matches in the Champions League are very interesting to watch. Apart from it being difficult to predict the matches, we will also see big clubs that are balanced against each other to knock out their opponents. Only clubs that are able to play well and are strong can compete well in this competition. Arsenal have lost their opportunity. created bigger opportunities in the first leg even though they were playing at home, in fact Arsenal did not play as well as everyone expected, they still had difficulty beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League, even though Arsenal's performance in the domestic league was relatively good, but in the Champions League they needed greater strength than just beating the Premier League clubs.

Bayern Munich is the one who is still playing well in the Champions League because he was able to hold Arsenal to a draw in their away match. This is a good result. At least he didn't let Arsenal win in the first leg, so in the second leg, Bayern Munich will play even better because he has a bigger advantage. Big compared to Arsenal, I think Bayern Munich will get rid of Arsenal again like in the 2017 season because Arsenal also just returned to the Champions League this season, but this can be used as motivation for Arsenal to perform even better in the Champions League next season.

The UCL continues this week and this is Europe’s elite competition that’s usually met with lots of entertainment as you see both the big boys and average boys across Europe all competing against themselves to be the continent’s champion. This competition is always met with surprises as we have seen numerous times some great comebacks from teams and against teams you don’t expect in this competition.

 ⁠At the moment, we’re already in the Quater finals stage of this competition and you can’t easily predict which team will be making it to the semi finals more especially after almost all 4 matches had a fierce first leg encounter. Now the second leg is about to play up we can’t wait to see the 4 teams that will Make it through to the semis
 
 ⁠One match of focus is the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match as. This match holds a long history of having plenty goals and Bayern usually thrashing them. The expectations were pretty high especially on Arsenal getting the win in the first leg especially as they’ve improved generally within the last 2 seasons.

 ⁠Well surprisingly they were only able to get a draw and now they move to play away to Bayern in Germany. After failing to take advantage of their home, I don’t think we should expect much from Arsenal at all especially in this 2nd leg. Bayern showed alot of their experience in that first leg and that even gives the room for us to expect more than the first leg performance in this second leg. Arsenal are a young team and I think them being eliminated now won’t be a big surprise rather, I think the team can take it as a big motivation for future competitions.

This is Champions league second leg failure to win be disqualify and today is another day to decide the who goes to the next stage,
Barcelona and PSG, Barcelona are currently leading because they defeated PSG in their home and now they are here for the returning leg, let see is PSG will to some miracle to qualify.
On the other hand Dortmund and Atletico Madrid are at it again and let see that Dortmund miracle too.

[Altryist]

Atletico looks very good in recent games, they have secured a place in the top 4 in La Liga and beat Dortmund in the first match of the Champions League quarterfinals. All they need to achieve today is a draw, and it seems to me that Simione can easily achieve this. If you look at how Dortmund plays at home, they very often lose points and beat mostly weak teams, so I think that Atletico may not lose today.

This match will be a deciding match for both teams, both Barcelona as the host team and Paris Saint-Germain as the opposing team. These two teams will both do their best work to qualify for the next phase, especially PSG who are left behind on aggregate by Barcelona. However, it was fortunate that Barcelona had won the match in the first leg.  Xavi Hernandez will do his best so that his team can win this match, so that Barcelona has the right to advance to the Champions League semifinal match. However, my estimate is that this match will be very tough. Enrique will rely more on his front line, especially Mbappe and Dembelle, while Xavi will use the available player resources, especially the midfield role that Barcelona has. De Jong, Gundohan, Predi will be the central players in this match. the rest, Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha will be relied on to attack the heart of Paris Saint-Germain's defense. In this match, the bookies actually give good odds for both teams. Barcelona with @2.16, while PSG with @3.05. because Barcelona is our favorite team, I support them to win this second leg battle. so, let's wait for the results.

I agree that Atletico is not playing consistently, especially away games... So I think that Dortmund will not lose today... But I'm not sure they can win... Simeone has a lot of experience... Probably the outcome will be decided in extra time or after a penalty shootout... This match is difficult to predict...
