Manchester City is a strong team. Their match strategy is excellent. Also they have a strong squad. And so Manchester City players have the ability to win against any team. However, no team in the Champions League knockout round can be called weak. They managed to qualify for the second round by performing well in the first round. And every team in this round is strong. So if City's goal is to win the title, they will have to perform very carefully in every match. If they perform poorly in any match, they will be relegated. It is very important to perform carefully in every match of this round.
Manchester City is a strong team and one of strongest teams in Champions League recent seasons. With the appearance of Erling Haaland, they have become stronger a lot. The striker helps them to play more directly in attacking. They don't have to rely too much on their midfielders to find goals. Haaland can solve this issue very well for them and can help them to break defensive bunkers. Give him great passes and he will be able to convert half of a chance to a goal for Manchester City.
Paris Saint Germain always has an experienced squad in the Champions League every season, last season for example they also had a squad that was not much different from now with many experienced players. But does it help? Honestly I have to say it didn't help.
Their squad is mostly the same but Messi is playing better in this season with more goals, more assists for PSG. Ramos recovered and is playing well too. In the past season, Ramos missed most of the season because of his injury. Neymar simply has his best season since his transfer from Barcelona. The only bad point now is Mbappe who must change his mind and contribute more for the club.
