City will beat them easily. They are superior all over the park and Real will be left chasing the ball.

2 ties seem over:
I see no way Bayern losing vs such inexperienced Chelsea side 98% they go through.
Just as i do not see Valencia doing a remontada, 90% Atalanta is through.
Our chances are pretty good, injuries and suspensions lower the percentage (would otherwise put 75, now 65%, Busi is key to Setiens gameplan)
Still think Juve will get comfortable win at home (but if they have to play at empty stadium, it may be far more tricky). Depending on that its 60% vs 50-50.
City has small advantage over Real, but this tie is not over, both squads have horrible defense, City at home is no fortress and Real quite often plays better away from home. 55% ManCity to advance
PSG has also small advantage with away goal, but its such an open tie and both squads being great at attack and weak at back, so 55% for PSG to advance.
Last, but not least, Liverpool has small advantage (55%) as they are really strong at home. They did not get away goal, but i do not see Atletico keeping them at 0 away. All depends on if they can actually score and get that away goal.
Bayern looks most dangerous at the moment.

I still dont get how experience will help. Their team is clearly washed up with Zidane not having any new ideas. Lets not forget they lost to Ajax as well. Bottled a lead and 2nd placed in the league. I wouldnt be surprised if Barca manage to score against Madrid. (Messi being a huge factor of course).
City comfortably better in this match. It's surprising why Pep didnt start Sterling but they still manage to find goals 1 nil down.

Yep! They will lose next match 3-0 or similar
They should have gone for more. They were great in first half.

City are far more than 55% to go through.
Folk are just scared to admit it as it is Real.

Well said. Bayern looks the best based on these games and City.

Rightly so. We're better away, they're not that great at home, they've never been in this position and if they do play 'cautiously' again the advantage may dissipate incredibly fast.
People are also underestimating Zidane as a manager. He's fallible, but he's still a great one. If there's anybody who can fix this, it's him.

Well we can agree to disagree and I will stick to my belief that City puts them out fairly easily as we debated before this game.
Lets see.

At least no Ramos, one less problem for City.

Yea, we are all glad Madrid is almost out of CL, but this is good for them looking at La Liga. Not only they have a bigger squad and more fit players, but they will also only have La Liga to focus. While we are completely depleted and have both La Liga and CL to fight for.
I'm worried we'll chase both La Liga and CL with a depleted squad and will fall short on both.

Sure. I'm not 100% we're out yet. It sucks and stings how easily we let it slip, but the side is notoriously bipolar. A big rebound is definitely possible.
Does it matter? We looked 2nd best 1000x times before. Difference is now we have to do it without Ronaldo and Ramos. Which is no small feat, but if there's an ounce of winning mentality in that squad (for which the chance is slim) it could be a big surprise at Etihad.

You're welcome
That would be Klopp, not Zidane.

Nothinhg is 100% but there is not way this tie is almost 50/50.
Anyone thinking that should lump on at bookies.
