On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Bayern deserved to win in Paris, but they'll remember how the momentum completely shifted after Kylian Mbappe entered midway through the second half. Win by three or more goals: Club Brugge advance to quarterfinals❌ Win by two goals: Extra time (and, if necessary, penalties)❌ If teams are level on goals after 180 minutes, they will head to extra time, and penalties if necessary, to determine a winner. After conceding early in Italy, Tottenham arguably did well to head back home with only a narrow loss. - Win by one goal: Extra time (and, if necessary, penalties) One more week, and we'll be down to just eight teams in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League as the Round of 16 second legs unfold.
