UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[bering]

We are only a week away from the last group games. In Group B the situation is critical for Sevilla. They have been able to collect only 2 points in 5 games. They have to win against Lens if they want to continue with the Europa League at least. However there is a big question there about whether they can really make this happen.

Because Lens are also a team that have been doing pretty good in the group. Despite being more inexperienced they have collected 5 points in this challenging group for themselves. They have a home game against Sevilla therefore they can be considered quite advantageous. I think they could get one point at worst.

In group B only Sevilla who still unable to gets the winning results after 5th matches and for the match against Lens indeed if they won from Lens Sevilla will collect 5 points from 6th matches and their points will equal to Lens and actually i do not too understand the mechanism how UEFA determined who is the team will qualified if there are two teams who had equal points but if i am not mistaken Sevilla have to win at least 3 goals without conceded from Lens if they want to qualified because if they can able to do that Sevilla has better goals difference from Lens but indeed this is hard task for them especially with their current condition but i wouldn't underestimate Sevilla because they are Europa league champion and in that competition Sevilla has strong mentally so everything is still possible for them

Many sports analysts and fans saw Bayern Munich and Manchester United as favorites to qualify for the next round, sadly the perceived underdogs like Copenhagen and Galatasaray now has greater chance than one of the best sides in European football. It will be disappointing to see them knocked out of all European competitions, maybe moving to the Europa league will be a suitable consolation.

Although all hope is not yet lost for Manchester United but however the ability of achieving it is what matters because if you check there group table you will see that  Copenhagen and Galatasaray is on 5 points while Manchester United is on the 4 points so however there prayers should be for Galatasaray and Copenhagen to play draw, and if they eventually win Bayern Munich they automatically have 7 point while Copenhagen and Galatasaray will both have 6 points and then Manchester United will qualify as the second position while Bayern Munich qualify as the first, but however the question is that can Manchester United win Bayern Munich?.

Despite the tight situation, I think Manchester United can win. Their 4-point group position is poor. Copenhagen vs. Galatasaray is crucial. If they draw and United beats Bayern Munich, it would change everything. However, beating Bayern is difficult. They wont concede those critical points to United. However, United's match against Chelsea may reveal their form. A win there might strengthen their confidence and worry Bayern Munich fans. At this point, momentum matters.

Yeah that's exactly my point because with the performance of Galatasaray and Copenhagen I doubt if there would be a win on that match because is quite obvious that the both teams has an equal performance so the match may likely end in draw and as such given Manchester United the opportunity to come back onboard, so I believe that will give Manchester United the courage to try all there possible best in other to win Bayern Munich, because I'm looking at Bayern Munich will not put much pressure because it will not cost them anything if they lose the match and perhaps they will like to reserve there players in other for them perform well on there next round.

[QueenVera]

That only depends on the result from copenhagen vs galatasaray. We can't really sure what will be the outcome from this match but if we try to remember the previous result if galatasaray gets draw against copenhagen. It gives us a small insight about the result from the upcoming match. Manchester united has no chance anymore but who knows if it will able to get a miracle. We can't really sure about that. I meant if the last chance for MU will come only if galatasaray will get draw against copenhagen.
Mu has no chance if the result from other match will not be draw.

The last Champion League faceoff results left most teams to calculated qualifications for the round of 16. A whole lot of teams advancement doesn't necessarily depend on the outcome of their final group game, but rather on the outcome of other group team games too, United drew to Galatasaray, so did Copenhagen to Munich.

 Now the advancement is certain alone for Munich but the other three would have to fight in their own final games and still pray that the counterpart teams get a result that'd give them a chance to qualify as well.I don't know how United will face Munich because they're not in form even if they'd be the hosts, Munich are doing exceedingly well and they've not failed to make clubs stay down. Ten Hag has to do the greatest needful and also pray really hard because their destiny isn't in their hands solely.

 Bayern Munich drew to Copenhagen and this slightly made their qualification uncertain. Although they've got enough points needed to qualify which in their next and final match with United, will be sealed. For Galatasaray, they also had a draw with United in the last UCL encounter and now these four teams are left to struggle through in the final group game. That'll be the decider for each of their performances.

We are only a week away from the last group games. In Group B the situation is critical for Sevilla. They have been able to collect only 2 points in 5 games. They have to win against Lens if they want to continue with the Europa League at least. However there is a big question there about whether they can really make this happen.

Because Lens are also a team that have been doing pretty good in the group. Despite being more inexperienced they have collected 5 points in this challenging group for themselves. They have a home game against Sevilla therefore they can be considered quite advantageous. I think they could get one point at worst.

In group B only Sevilla who still unable to gets the winning results after 5th matches and for the match against Lens indeed if they won from Lens Sevilla will collect 5 points from 6th matches and their points will equal to Lens and actually i do not too understand the mechanism how UEFA determined who is the team will qualified if there are two teams who had equal points but if i am not mistaken Sevilla have to win at least 3 goals without conceded from Lens if they want to qualified because if they can able to do that Sevilla has better goals difference from Lens but indeed this is hard task for them especially with their current condition but i wouldn't underestimate Sevilla because they are Europa league champion and in that competition Sevilla has strong mentally so everything is still possible for them

With its current performance, it will be very difficult for Sevilla to score 3 goals to beat Lens on matchday 6. In fact, I think that their path to getting into the Europa League play offs is very slim, Sevilla needs a miracle to get there. In group B, I predict that PSV will be able to accompany Arsenal in progressing to the knockout round, it would be quite a shame for Sevilla if their progress had to stop early. Previously we saw that Lens beat Arsenal, which made us all surprised by the result of the match, so it is very likely that Sevilla could also drop points. This group phase saw several big teams having difficulties, even a team like Man United had a similar fate in group A.

[Slow death]

I still give United a 20% of chances, for me is most difficult to see them winning the game against Bayern Munich than wait for the draw between Copenague and Galatasaray. Because the other two little teams are gonna be so idiot that they destroy themselves with a draw who doesnt help any of them

Bayern already has enough points to guarantee first place in the group, they don't have any other team in that group that threatens their position, and Bayern has more serious concerns in the Bundesliga in which a defeat in the Bundesliga game could make the title was escaping them and we all know how Bayern's management gives priority to winning the Bundesliga, so I see the Bayern coach putting less important players in that game, he will let all the best players rest, this will be good for the team because it will avoid Injuries are everything that Bayern doesn't need to have, they are injured players

see bayern's next game in the bundesliga will be against stuttgart who currently occupies position number 3 and to make matters worse is that bayern has a game behind and this has made leverskusen 3 points ahead of bayern, This scenario is not good for Bayern, it puts pressure on the team, which is why I highly doubt that Bayern's coach will put his best players in the game against Manchester United, it wouldn't be a good move if he did that, whereas in the case of manchester united, they will make an effort to win the game because they could still go to the european league if the galatasaray game has a winner

They have to win against Lens if they want to continue with the Europa League at least. However there is a big question there about whether they can really make this happen.

The chances of Sevilla qualifying to the Europa League is slim and I am not confident of that but whatever happens that makes them to qualify to Europa or relegated to Europa, they will automatically become Europa League serious contenders.

Maybe not this year though. I understand that there is a running trope that Sevilla is a team that wins Europa and all, but I do believe that even if they somehow qualify for it, which looks quite difficult anyway and won't happen if you ask me, but even if it does happen, I feel like that's not this year. Liverpool is having a wonderful season again, took them a few years to get used to new players with the same system, but they are wonderful right now, and they will be the title winners.

Sevilla is not better than some of the teams that are at Europa even right now, and there will be some teams that will end up having some bigger returns, and should be important to remember that we are talking about a bigger return one way or another. I believe that the best thing to do would be just focusing on what they could do, and that means they are not going to be the best team. I believe Europa is just Liverpools for the taking, they really have to play terrible to lose.

Today I read that UEFA is going to let Christiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr to participate in UEFA Champion's League. Does anyone know if that's true? If that's true, then we will be able to see Christiano Ronaldo playing against European teams to win Champions League. I think Al Nassr is a weak team but it will be amazing to be able to see him playing in Europe again. If they let Christiano's Al Nassr to play in Champions League, then they will also let Messi's Inter Miami to play in Champions league too and we will be able to see two GOATs again. I hope this is not a rumor and it's true. Can anyone confirm it?

So far there is no confirmation of these rumors. And I would not pay attention to rumors at all, since they are often fantastic, for example, just recently I read that the Saudis have a plan to buy out the entire European Champions League and change it by making it a world Champions League. It sounds cool, but unfortunately this is also just a rumor and most likely someone’s invention.
And by the way, I don’t understand why you call Al-Nasr a weak team - all sorts of Victoria, Red Star, Young Boys, etc. regularly play in the Champions League. Al-Nasr is clearly stronger than them.

Bayern already has enough points to guarantee first place in the group, they don't have any other team in that group that threatens their position, and Bayern has more serious concerns in the Bundesliga in which a defeat in the Bundesliga game could make the title was escaping them and we all know how Bayern's management gives priority to winning the Bundesliga, so I see the Bayern coach putting less important players in that game, he will let all the best players rest, this will be good for the team because it will avoid Injuries are everything that Bayern doesn't need to have, they are injured players

This is just your thought and what if the Bayern Munich team wants to top their group with a maximum of points and don't want to entertain any defeat in this Championship league and maybe even targeting to go unbeatable in the Champions League this season, so it's not just as we see or say it, this is Champions League and they owe Manchester United no pity to allow them to defeat them even though Bayern decides to rest some of their players. Bayern will even be interested to getting rid of Manchester United in this group stage, as Man Utd May even be a threat in their Champions League title race if they allow them escape these group stage matches and qualify.

[Richbased]

Yes just look at Barcelona and how they have been doing the last few years. Regardless of winning the title last season, in my opinion they were not part of the highest elite group anymore as they weren't playing this level that is unreachable for most others. They have had a good season and Real Madrid wasn't playing well in La Liga, which is why Barcelona could win the title. Now they are struggling in La Liga again and got lucky with their Champions League group, but I don't think they will be around in the semifinals of the Champions League.

If you look at Barcelona's current performance and even overall in the last few years, it is natural that the Barcelona team is no longer favored to compete for the UCL title, and I agree with you if you say that Barcelona is currently not one of the elite teams in Europe. they are really in a very bad state and there has been no progress in the last few years.
So this season it is quite logical if we predict that Barcelona will not go further and what happened in the group phase cannot be a reference because their opponents in the group phase were weak teams and Barcelona was a little lucky to join group H.

Of a truth Barcelona is not really in their best this season even for the fact that they have tactical and talented players but yet they struggle to win matches even win with low goal difference unlike Barcelona before that wins with high goal difference in their matches but despite the fact that they haven't really shown their best this season i still applaud their performance so far like for them to be in the third position in the league table means they are still in good form as they are just 5 points behind the league leaders Real Madrid.

Yes, giving an easy victory to Manchester United is something that is not good for the big name of the Bayern Munich team because ya, ofcourse they have the prestige that will still play well at least not to lose . It does not matter, whether Bayern Munich will only play second tier players or not, because of course Bayern Munich target is still to get good result in this match . So ya, even though Bayern Munich has got a ticket to the last 16 but ya, that will also not be a factor for Bayern Munich to be weak. Because basically Bayern Munich is a big team, which ofcourse has good management as well so that it will still maintain their performance to remain good as well.

[ndutndut]

I think Manchester United still has a chance if Manchester United is able to use home advantage well, Bayern Munich is the strongest rival in the group and Erik Ten Hag must be able to create a strategy by keeping Manchester United defense tight so they don't concede goals. To be honest, I don't really like goalkeepers onana because onana looks very easy to concede, I hope Erik Ten Hag doesn't use onana in this match, on Matchday 5 yesterday Bayern Munich was held to a draw by Copenhagen without a goal at home and in Bayern Munich away match later I hope Manchester United will be able to appear surprising.

There is still hope for everyone to qualify for this group, only Bayern Munich is certain to progress to the next round. However, I see that only Man United has a harder time qualifying in this group because their opponent is Bayern Munich and for me Bayern Munich is not an easy opponent even though in the 5th match yesterday they drew against Copenhagen. In fact, this draw will be a special motivation for Bayern Munich to chase three points in the closing match of Group A with 16 points.

Onana is actually good if his defender is also good, I don't blame Onana alone for Man United's conceding. But this is ETH's job to prepare defenders to remain solid and strong in Man United's defense. My prediction in group A that will accompany Bayern Munich to the last 16 is Galatasaray.

Bayern will even be interested to getting rid of Manchester United in this group stage, as Man Utd May even be a threat in their Champions League title race if they allow them escape these group stage matches and qualify.

If I were Erik Ten Hag I'll do anything possible to get the 3points, I'll train them like a hungry lion ready to devour it prey because Bayern Munich is not going to show them any mercy at Old Trafford, and we're not yet sure if he'll rest his key players against United at Old Trafford until the lineup comes out therefore let's not conclude yet and @Slow death you're right cause in the Champions League there's no time for pity whether they've qualified or not they'll still want to get the 3points at Old Trafford.

 Left for me I think Bayern Munich are going to the Old Trafford with a full force and the mindset of achieving the 3 points, one player to look out for is the former Tottenham skipper Harry Kane, he'll be going back to England and for the records he didn't really have a good record against Manchester United when he played for Tottenham and would want to make a difference now he's playing for a bigger and better team, he has a good record in goal scoring with Bayern Munich this season and would want to maintain his goal streak against United.

I still think Manchester United still has a chance of qualifying though they are playing against Bayern but because of how they played in their first leg though they lost but it was a difference of 1 goal and which nobody expected, we all thought bayern would have won that game with more goals and concede less. While man United has been inconsistent I think they still got a chance of being the better team here if they really want to

Manchester United's hope to qualify for the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League is minimal because Manchester United needs a win against Bayern Munich and with the current performance of Manchester United it is not easy to beat Bayern Munich. And, even though Manchester United beat Bayern Munich, Copenhagen, and Galatasaray need to end in a draw before Manchester United can qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Yes, giving an easy victory to Manchester United is something that is not good for the big name of the Bayern Munich team because ya, ofcourse they have the prestige that will still play well at least not to lose . It does not matter, whether Bayern Munich will only play second tier players or not, because of course Bayern Munich target is still to get good result in this match . So ya, even though Bayern Munich has got a ticket to the last 16 but ya, that will also not be a factor for Bayern Munich to be weak. Because basically Bayern Munich is a big team, which ofcourse has good management as well so that it will still maintain their performance to remain good as well.

It is very clear that Bayern Munich has great prestige as one of Europe's elite teams. in Nagelesmann's hands, all their matches were swept away with victory, which was different under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel. Since Munich has been confirmed as group winners in the Champions League phase, Tuchel's focus will be on the Bundesliga. where, Bayern Munich will play a match against Stuttgart.
We can also refer to DFB Fokal, where Tuchel prefers to play second-string players and rotates several players ahead of the match against Dortmund. which means, we could interpret that Tuchel has the potential to play his second tier players when he visits Old Trafford, the Red Devil's headquarters.

Of course, it is clear that they also have the courage to remain good in that match. However, I can conclude that Tuchel will choose to play his second tier players. not all, but there are several players they will rotate. Maybe, Mathys Tel will be given the opportunity. also, Coupo-Mouting. with indications, referring to the odds provided by the bookie. It's a little strange for me if the available odds have the same margin, namely @2.50. Even though it is temporary, this is what we can conclude for the time being. However, Tuchel will certainly hope that his second tier players will be able to play a good and impressive game. However, with this scenario, it means that Manchester United has a chance to win the match at their own headquarters.
BTW, this is just my personal assumption. We'll see what scenario the two coaches will carry out.

[Dzwaafu11]

I still give United a 20% of chances, for me is most difficult to see them winning the game against Bayern Munich than wait for the draw between Copenague and Galatasaray. Because the other two little teams are gonna be so idiot that they destroy themselves with a draw who doesnt help any of them

The other two teams will be very serious and play to win, but the result is more likely to end in a draw because of how intense their match is going to be. A draw won’t help any of them to have a better chance to qualify for the champions league round of 16 but will only help one and the other to qualify for the Europa League. Manchester United can only be helped with the draw more if they can win their match against Bayern Munich which in all cases seems very impossible to happen.

Exactly. Both teams are looking for a win to qualify for the Champions League round of 16, so with the too-consistent efforts that both of them put in Their front is what will make their match tough; everybody will be looking for a win. Probably, with this, one of them must win or end in a draw, which will be a victory for Manchester United. However, Manchester United are not in a position to beat Bayern Munich right now. Bayern Munich's performance is clearly better than that of Manchester United. So I don’t think we need to talk about that fact, which is already clear in my opinion, although the previous match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich had a 1-goal interval and most people were expecting Bayern Munich to win. Let's see how Manchester United will perform that day.

This is what makes this game between Copenhagen and Galatasaray so thrilling. If they are sitting on a draw there is no way to ignore the game between Manchester United and Bayern Munich. I think there will be a lot of information going back and forth between the stadiums and also the coaches and the players. But who knows maybe one comes out as the clear winner tomorrow and takes a comfortable lead at some time during the game. On the one hand I expect a game that is all about stable defenses, but on the other hand I think as soon as we get to see one goal the other team will open up and go for it.

[Zoomic]

The match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich on Tuesday which also is the last match of the group stage of champions league is one match I look forward to. Manchester United has a very slim chance to qualify for the next round of the champions league which is the quarter finals. For Manchester United to qualify,  they have to win Bayern Munich which is quite a different task to achieve because Bayern Munich is very much in form and Bayern Munich is topping the league.

Whether Manchester win Bayern Munich or not  Bayern Munich will still qualify as number one but if they are unable to win Bayern Munich,  they (Manchester United) will not be able to qualify. But even if Manchester United win Bayern Munich then  Galatasaray and Copenhagen draw the match, Manchester United will still not qualify. Manchester United need to win so they can play in Europa League even if they cannot qualify for the champions league.

Bayern already has enough points to guarantee first place in the group, they don't have any other team in that group that threatens their position, and Bayern has more serious concerns in the Bundesliga in which a defeat in the Bundesliga game could make the title was escaping them and we all know how Bayern's management gives priority to winning the Bundesliga, so I see the Bayern coach putting less important players in that game, he will let all the best players rest, this will be good for the team because it will avoid Injuries are everything that Bayern doesn't need to have, they are injured players

What's the chance they'll even play without half the main roster? They seem to have all the players feeling fine and there is no point in resting them. So it seems to me that there will be no second-team game and it will be an easy win for Bayern and MU out of the tournament, although the chances of a draw have not been cancelled, then maybe they will qualify for the Europa League

[Falconer]

-snip-

There is still hope for everyone to qualify for this group, only Bayern Munich is certain to progress to the next round. However, I see that only Man United has a harder time qualifying in this group because their opponent is Bayern Munich and for me Bayern Munich is not an easy opponent even though in the 5th match yesterday they drew against Copenhagen. In fact, this draw will be a special motivation for Bayern Munich to chase three points in the closing match of Group A with 16 points.

Onana is actually good if his defender is also good, I don't blame Onana alone for Man United's conceding. But this is ETH's job to prepare defenders to remain solid and strong in Man United's defense. My prediction in group A that will accompany Bayern Munich to the last 16 is Galatasaray.

Let's say Manchester United can win the match against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, but whether or not they qualify for the round of 16 also really depends on the other teams. Galatasaray will not easily let Copenhagen beat them or hold them to a draw, which is hard to think considering their form. I can expect Manchester United to beat Bayern Munich if their performance is the same as the match against Chelsea today, but this team is not very stable.

Honestly, I don't care what scenario could take Manchester United through to the round of 16, the point is I expect them to be there this season. Ten Hag had to fight to win a place in the round of 16 by using all his technical skills and intelligence in formulating strategies, but still, Bayern Munich is a team that is difficult to beat.
