UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

What an amazing champions league night for the English side Arsenal, the goals came in too fast in the first half, Imagine Arsenal scored 4 goals in the space of 14 minutes just in the first half game before they rounded it up to 5 goals before the end of the first half. The boys was impressive with their performance and It was a well deserved victory. Congratulations to Arsenal fans.

The match was quite interesting with the way the goals were coming, perhaps Lens will be very careful when next they Will meet Arsenal because Arsenal has proving to them that there performance can never be compared with theirs. Perhaps I no that Arsenal is very inform but I never imagine they would score this much against lens.

I was actually thinking the match will end may be within 2 or 3 goals but it was quite the contrary. However lens performance is very poor the team management should really work the club at least getting some good strikers and buying more strong and experience defenders because what I saw on there match today was not impressive at all.

In the beginning of the first half,they wanted to play their usual way by attacking fiercely in a way that Arsenal cannot even pass the ball,but they didn't know that this time around,Arsenal players were fully out for them because they wanted to take revenge of what they did the last time they met,by beating them.The humiliation was too much by the Gunners as all their front stars scored,including Jorginho who was introduced in the second half.This is one of Arsenal's best game so far.It might be shocking to everyone of where Arsenal will reach in this champions league.They might even get to the semi final or even finals because with what I'm seeing,Arteta is in for something serious.

EPL clubs are not here to joke, except for Manchester United who are sleeping on duty, Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United are trying to suit in the high standards of the game. Goals scoring have become a regular routine for Gunners, this time, Mikel Arteta and his men didn't come to play, rather they meant full-time business. Arsenal embarrassed their visitors with a hugh score of 6 goals nets against Lens at Emirate stadium. They couldn't believe their eyes to witnessed such trembling scores, winning now becomes a priority for the club.

Do you wanna say that if PSG helped by referee to get draw against newcastle?  Penalty was just penalty and PSG deserves it. That's why the referee was giving a penalty for PSG and it was able equalizing the goal against newcastle.
Goal is goal. Newcastle gets draw against PSG and this is the fact. Newcastle is now having the same points like acmilan and these clubs potentially lose if PSG will able to beat dortmund.

No, what I said that Newcastle was unlucky because PSG got a penalty kick. I never said the penalty kick is awarded by the referee. The referee gave the penalty kick because it deserves, right? Sure, goal is goal, whether it is from the penalty kick or not. Even own goal is also a valid goal to count. I know it, dude.  

I think the game to watch is Copenhagen v Galatasaray, when the draw was made nobody would have believed that Copenhagen would have a chance of qualifying heading into the final group game,

The match Man United vs Bayern Munich is also interested to watch. We can see Bayern Munich doesn't play very seriously in the last match. It can be caused by their status, they already qualify for the next round. So, they don't really care about the results of the remaining matches. Moreover, the last match will be in Man United home, Man United players must have a bigger motivation to win it. If Man United wins the match, they have a chance to finish in 2nd place of group A table. But the match Copenhagen v Galatasaray must end with a draw.

[Docnaster]

All the games played by all group F teams ended in a draw, the one that surprised me the most has to be that between Bayern Munich and Copenhagen ending goalless draw, I expected at least three goals from this match, even if it's to be won by either team.

Although Bayern Munich has qualified and doesn't really needs this game for them to be eligible for the next round of the champions league but then they should be able to get a goal from this match, or Copenhagen who needs the match the most could have been able to secure a goal at least but sadly it ended without a goal from both sides. Manchester united missed their last chance to qualify for the next round of the champions league.

This is exactly my point. I had hope of Bayern converting instead of arsenal and picked them instead. (in contrast, Arsenal had better odds) and Bayern ended up playing a goalless draw. Despite qualifying already, I was expecting them to win even with a 1-goal at the very least. Take Real Madrid for instance: They already qualified and playing against a strong opponent like Napoli and they still won despite going 0-1 down in the first few minutes.

Too bad, just too bad. They should win this weekend in the Bundesliga this weekend to compensate.

Considering the result of Bayern Munich against Copenhagen tonight, a lot of people are surely gonna lose their stakes tonight because I'm sure that majority of people who placed bets on that game will be going for straight win for Bayern Munich or predicting that there'll be a minimum of two goals in that game but unfortunately, Bayern didn't get win and no goal was scored in the game.

Arsenal I knew were gonna win their game against Lens but I never predicted that they were gonna score past four goals tonight but surprisingly, Mikel Arteta's men ran riot against their French visitors. The result of Arsenal's game against Lens now means that Lens' progression to the knockout stages isn't in their own hands again

Copenhagen's chances of progressing to the next round of the competition have been boosted; all they need now is a win in their final group stage match against Galatasaray.

Group A is so unpredictable, of course Bayern Munich have already qualified, but the other three teams have almost equal chances of progressing to the RO16 as well, the final group game would feel like a final for all of them, Manchester United face Bayern Munich, and because of the opposition, i am pretty sure quite a lot of their fans have given up hopes of making it out of the group.

I think the game to watch is Copenhagen v Galatasaray, when the draw was made nobody would have believed that Copenhagen would have a chance of qualifying heading into the final group game, but right now my money is on them to make it out of the group stage, and Galatasaray would prolly drop down to the Europa league, whilst United would be eliminated, finger's crossed to see if things pan out in that way.

Yeah the competition in group A is very tight and I see that Copenhagen has a big chance of qualifying for the next round because in the next match they will play at home while Manchester United must face Bayern Munich clearly this will be a difficult match for them, if Manchester United win it won't mean anything if Copenhagen also win because they are 1 point behind. It would be very surprising to us if Manchester United were eliminated earlier because they should be worthy of being in the second place but unfortunately based on points Manchester United are at the bottom of the standings and in the last match they had to fight the Bayern Munich as group winner, in this fight we cannot expect much because it is very difficult to beat Munich even though Manchester United played at home I think the worst chance for Munich is a draw.

[dravenbtc]

However, behind Real's back, the fight will be between Napoli and Braga for a 2nd place, if Braga wins by two goals, it will be ahead of Napoli, but if it loses and Union wins against Real at home, which is not playing for anything, it can play in the EL, very interesting, but today they should win wih 1 more player.

(UEFA) The Union of European Football Associations  has held talks about introducing new handball rules in the Champions League:

That's dope, guys. This will make everything perfect. I mean, this will help a lot for the referee and also for the player. All these matters are worsened by handball. Guys, if we see how many matches have ended unfairly because of this, recently, there have been problems with handball issues in all the matches. This is a big problem for advanced football, I think, and all other problems have been solved, like off-side, etc. But this problem has not been solved yet, and it is hoped that it will be solved soon by UEFA's announcement. Major matches have been spoiled due to this reason, i.e., there used to be a hand ball and the referee did not believe that it was a penalty. But the referee also took a decision after all the verifications, but he often made a mistake on the hand ball in the box.

It was a good start for Manchester United. Everyone was surprised by the outcome of the match. Manchester United scored two goals early in the match, which gave me hope that they would easily win the match today, but unfortunately the game ended in a 3-3 draw, which was surprising and disappointing for the team entirely. If not, how could they allow Galatasaray to equalise three goals when they were leading with two goals ahead of them even before they started scoring their first goal. That’s embarrassment, seriously.

However, I will also blame the Manchester United coach for this one because they have another goalkeeper who I think may currently do better than Onana, so why not use him instead? Currently, the squad is getting better, but there is no better keeper. How are they going to come up with positive results? I believe it won’t work. Galatasaray won them the first time they met, and now they still end their game in a draw.

Is from the coach not any of the players is to blame. Manchester United started well in the first half and scored an early goal. I expected Manchester United to win this match against Galatasaray so that they could try to defeat Bayern Munich in their next match, but they did not. I believe Manchester United will not qualify to the next round of the Champions League again because they failed to defeat Galatasaray, and I do not believe that even if they try to defeat Bayern Munich, Galatasaray will win their match against Copenhagen but anything can happen, and it will be difficult for them to qualify for the Europa League, because Copenhagen are in second place in the group, and I believe they will draw against Copenhagen. Galatasaray will move to the Europa League if they fail to defeat Copenhagen in their next match, and I enjoyed watching their match today because they played well and Bayern Munich striker didn't get the opportunity to break there defense.

Manchester United didn't maintain a 2-goal lead against Galatasaray, is it when they play against Bayern Munich will they be able to win before the end of the match if they still score first? The truth of the matter is  Manchester United has lost their opportunity to qualify for the round of 16. The second team that will follow Bayern Munich to qualify for the round of 16 from Group A is where the focus is(Whether it is Galatasaray or Copenhagen) because Manchester United is out of the way completely even though they mistakenly won Bayern Munich. You don't expect Galatasaray or Copenhagen to have a draw match in their encounter against each other.

[legendbtc]

Onana made a mistake. It was difficult for MU to pass the group stage. He couldn't hide his disappointment and slowly left the field after making a mistake that caused MU to let Galatasaray draw 3-3. Andre Onana's 2 fatal mistakes were a vital reason MU let Galatasaray draw.
And Erik ten Hag should write a letter of resignation as coach. This draw leaves MU facing a considerable possibility of being eliminated in this season's Champions League. At this point, how can Erik ten Hag and his team win against the mighty Bayern Munich? Once the most valuable club, MU is surpassed by a small competitor.

However lens performance is very poor the team management should really work the club at least getting some good strikers and buying more strong and experience defenders because what I saw on there match today was not impressive at all.

Arsenal really performed brilliantly, they managed to score 6 goals without a reply from Lens, Arsenal has scored the most goals so far.

While Bayern vs Copenhagen ended with a score of 0-0, both teams really played well.

What surprised me a bit was Inter vs Benfica, Mario managed to score a hat trick in this match, he was man of the match.

There is still 1 match left and several teams still have hope of qualifying as runners up, as long as they manage to win in the last match of the 6/6 group phase.

[Balmain]

If Napoli could finish the match with a draw, they would have a chance to be in the top sixteen, but on the other side is Real Madrid, the bull of the Champions League, who can stop this team. I wonder what Real Madrid will do in the qualifiers, having made it five out of five in the group matches, in the last sixteenth.
Bellingham showed itself again in the match with 1 goal and 1 assist. Both goals and assists were very classy.

[makishart]

Onana is now getting blamed again by so many manchester united fans. He was making another mistake again by unable blocking weak shoot by ziyech. This guy was a very bad goal keeper. Ziyech was so amazing and he was making 2 goals and it's all from free kicks.
People are now calling onana back as a clown again. This clown keeper shall not be trusted by united. The upcoming game is going to be the hardest game as united will face bayern. The chance to win the game is pretty small for united.
There will be a very interesting match between copenhagen and galatasaray. The winner of this match will qualify to the next round. I hope that galatasaray will be able to beat copenhagen.

Copenhagen or galatasaray can do that to send manchester united out from the UCL. Manchester united is only 1 inch from the exit door of UCL. Please galatasaray, you can do that in upcoming match day to beat copenhagen. It will not be a hard match.
Manchester united needs to sign another goal keeper or it will always be on the disaster.

Manchester United supporters have exercised their dissapointment in Andre Onana this season especially in topflight games, he always dissapoints. André Onana keeps messing up big time for the club he so cherished. Manchester United draw tie against Galatasaray was as a result of the poor defensive game and the heavy blunders made by the Cameroon international. Onana have absolutely no excuse to make, because these two free kicks was just a long range shot which as a potential keeper, he sits in good position to hold such long range balls without any difficulty, he train and he's qualified for the Jon, so tell me, what went wrong.

[Captain Corporate]

I believe that we had a "decent" game at best, and the only reason we were able to get the 3-3 tie was because Onana is by far the worst goalkeeper I have ever seen. I mean I can find a better goalkeeper than him at championship or even maybe league one levels. This dude seems to be playing with absolutely zero confidence and doesn't know what to do and gets way too much nervous while trying to save balls. In the end, we got the tie, right now its all tied. I seriously did not expected Copenhag to get a tie with Bayern, I fully expected Bayern to ned up with a win, its a terrible situation for us that they failed that, but after all they guaranteed so why would they work hard for it, they can relax. Last game matters, as long as Bayern wins, we are going to be fine, I think even a tie would be fine, we just need them not to lose. If Bayern wins, then in case we get a tie or a loss, we still go to Europa, and if we win then we move further at UCL, so its no longer really about our own game, Bayern should win, if they do, rest is easy, I am fine with either case, third or second I would still celebrate.

Napoli is still the second club with the most points in group C of the Uefa Champions League, and they can still qualify for the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League if they can play a draw match against Braga in Italy. With the help of home advantage and the experience of Napoli in the Uefa Champions League, I see Napoli securing a point against Braga in their upcoming match.

Arsenal always plays very well at home. Good game for Arsenal to ensure their qualification as Manchester United fail out from the competition. Havertz scored again for Arsenal after his winning goal for them against Brentford in the premier league. Scoring like this is good for him, because it was about time, he started bringing his contributions to the team. From England, Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle have made them proud. For Manchester United, this was not expected of them.

Now we wait for the draws, to see the teams to face each other in the knockout round.

[Yogee]

ML odds are pretty much the same for MU and Galastaray
Galastaray - 2.70
Man United - 2.50

The odds are quite attractive equally high, but Man United still have a chance in this match whether they can win to qualify or even feel more embarrassed because they have to lose, so far we have little doubt about Man United's game but their motivation and mentality will always be there considering this must win important points in order to shift Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

But I have chosen the odds on Man United, as said they will play attacking because this is one of the important matches at home to Galatasaray.

Sorry for your loss in this match I guess? Should have chosen the part you omitted - total goals at over 2.5
I've already said it in my previous response that MU have shown they could actually score but they're also bad at defense so betting on them winning has more risk.

[....]
I mean picking the home team for 2.70 is not bad at all. I just think betting on the total scores is not as risky as ML. Man United may have lost most of their games but there's no denying that they are still capable of scoring while allowing the other teams in this group to score more.

Home win at this point in time is not that advisable. I still see the home team getting an equalizer in this game and might end in a draw.
Man UTD are really playing like amateurs, no energy no force just looking for any counter to get a goal, if it was in the EPL I believe they would've been struggling and playing with much pressure.

Hehe called it. I still give credit to MU's clean counterattacks but I think Onana ruined all of it for being beaten twice from a free kick.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

It happened exactly as I thought and said yesterday. PSG failed to come back after conceding the first goal. Newcastle United played in such a way that they pulled the bus in front of the defense. They applied the old Mourinho tactics. And they were successful in this until the last minutes. However, they left 2 points on the field with the goal in extra time. PSG missed too many goal chances.

I believe PSG was quite fortunate and, to some extent, benefited from favorable refereeing, which is the only reason they didn't lose this match. A victory would have been more deserved for Newcastle. This leads to the upcoming match with Dortmund, which can be considered like a final against PSG.
Luckily for them, Dortmund has secured a spot in the next round, so their competitive drive might not be as strong, and they might prioritize preserving their squad. For Newcastle, it will be tougher since AC Milan also needs a win to advance, and they are hoping PSG will lose to Dortmund.

The last minute goal was very good for PSG. It increased their chances of qualifying for the next round, if they had lost they would probably have been eliminated.
Their next game is against B.Dortmund and they beat them in the first game, I think they will draw at worst in this one.

This heaven-sent goal indeed saved PSG from an apparent defeat, somewhat making it easier for them compared to Newcastle and AC Milan because they have the ability to control their destiny in the final match.

(...) From England, Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle have made them proud. For Manchester United, this was not expected of them.

Now we wait for the draws, to see the teams to face each other in the knockout round.

The results accurately reflect their true strength, I feel luckier for MU when they are eliminated and will spend time in other tournaments. This season, the additional force is not of good quality, and their playing style also lacks uniformity. Watching their real match yesterday, I think if we ignore the result, it was a dramatic match, with six goals divided equally between both sides. Through this, it was also seen that their bravery was not enough when they twice led with a two goal difference, but in the end, they could not maintain that result.

Arsenal plays well at home but i didnt expect them that they would play this good at home against Lens. They just destoyed them in the first half and the match was already done then. With this win they secured the next stage od the champions league while Lens still has a chance in the last round.
