UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[rendravolt]

In the first leg PSV is more favored than Dortmund but I think it's just a home consideration and if Dortmund can make this first leg end in a draw then Dortmund's move in the second leg will be easier because competing at home should give a different advantage and spirit.
And they really benefited from meeting PSV, it would be a different story if they met a team that was stronger than PSV but that doesn't mean PSV doesn't have a chance to win and it's still 50/50.
In the 16th round, the matches Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid and also Porto vs Arsenal will be very tight in my opinion and this is quite difficult to predict who will advance to the quarterfinals.

Dortmund is a regular team in the round of 16 and they will be very favored regardless of whether it is a home or away match. But it seems that facing PSV in an away match will make Dortmund a little difficult because this season PSV has proven its strength not only as the top of the standings in the domestic league but also managed to reach the round of 16. The possibility of a draw that Dortmund will be aiming for is quite reasonable, but if Dortmund can do more than that, such as a narrow win, it will make them even more invincible in the second leg. That will only make Dortmund increase the aggregate number of goals which makes it difficult for PSV to catch up.

The other matches you say are difficult to predict, it could be said that the strengths are quite evenly matched but I am quite sure that Inter vs Atletico and Porto vs Arsenal in the first leg will both get a draw but of course provided that both teams will score equally.

Real Madrid has always been a top performer when it comes to the champions league,all season,they've always been the team with a good performance,and even despite not having the names that used to be there and give them that experience,but now,they currently have a squad that is full of young talents who are capable of winning the Champions league as well.

However,Arsenal, Dortmund,and Manchester City are other teams who may win the league as well,and after the round of 16,we would know the teams who can really go through to the final with the performance that will be displayed in this round.

Real Madrid might be experiencing inconsistent results in La Liga but they can be able to deliver when it's time for them to play tough matches. Real Madrid is the best club when it comes to winning major trophies and competing in elite competitions. They have the right players, an experience coach and die-hard fans that channel their energy to becoming one of the best leading club. Mentioning Arsenal and Borrusia Dortmund, they can proves to be competitive within due time and gets knockout when the main business arises.

Real madrid is still very consistent this season in all of competitions. People would not call that as the best club in the world if real madrid was not having specialization to win the major trophies like UCL. No doubt that people called madrid as king of UCL. It's caused by the achievements owned by real madrid in UCL even all of competitions. This team is a team with most of trophies in the european continent. There was no club that is standing on the same level as rela madrid. I would rather than called arsenal is not competitive compared to the dortmund.
Arsenal is having worst achievement in UCL compared to the dortmund. It seems like that real madrid will be owning this season. Madrid has some young talented players but these players were fully experiencing in helping madrid to gather more trophies.

It's a boomerang for dortmund to let bellingham to join in the real madrid. Real madrid is just getting stronger even with some players which have not yet entered in their golden age.
Madrid is still the strongest team right now with the highest power compared with an other club like bayern or city. UCL will be owning by madrid. We can watch and see madrid to get UCL this season.

One person I respect much in the Real Madrid squad is their fatherly figure coach - Ancelotti. He is a man of wisdom and experience and he uses both as his unconquered armour. How he blends the strength of the young players with experience of the old players to produce unique results amazes me. Gradually, he has gotten a consistently good squad such that the young ones can do what we know about Real Madrid.
Currently that many players are injured but the effect is not felt. Real Madrid is obviously a strong contender of the champions league and they can win it, especially as the defending champion which is Manchester city has dropped two steps from the last season form.

Yes, Manchester City is in much worse form than last year. They suffered back-to-back losses in the Premier League. Their performance in the UCL was good, but their groups consisted of teams that were slightly weaker than them. They were matched with Copenhagen, which is also a team that can be considered weak. Currently, the fixture advantages work entirely in Manchester City's favor. I think Real Madrid is the cup favorite this year. I hope the cup will be lifted up in their hands this year.

Yea, I also see Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the trophy this season because from the look of things, I don't think that there will be any team that will be able to stop them because they have the good quality of players that are desperate and serious to win the league. Man City might not survive the round of 8, if they don't improve in their performance because with the way they have being playing games with inconsistency recently, shows that they will not be able to make it to the finals.

It's really too early to know which is the favorite to win this seasons UCL, but no doubt Real Madrid remains one of the favorites to win.
Napoli is still waxing strong along with Arsenal, Dortmund, Bayern and even Man City. We would however be more certain after this next stage of finals has been played.

17 games with 13 wins 3 draws and 1 loss I think that's very consistent because when compared to some of the leading clubs like Manchester City and Bayern in their domestic competitions of course Madrid's consistency now is still a little better than them and I think saying a good result like that with inconsistency is not something that is suitable at all because after all they are doing well now in domestic competitions and the Champions League.
Some clubs like Dortmund or Arsenal are still very good but the strong candidates I think are still the same because in the end, apart from Manchester City, Madrid are definitely one of the strongest candidates again to win the trophy.

Now the drawing has been determined and looking at the opponents that will be faced, I honestly expect a bigger big match than before but indeed for now only Barcelona against Napoli and Inter who will face Atletico alone can be considered a big match in this round of 16.

At leasr madrid still able to delives the trophy for its fan. being trophyless was unacceptable moment for real madrid. goal is always consistently publishing the power ranked article from UCL team and real madrid is always at the top.
It represent how strong real madrid is right now. We can't deny that having bellingham is just making the club becomes even more perfect than before. I do appreciate all of the improvements being made by ancellotti in real madrid.
It looks like real madrid is just getting stronger than before and this is why madrid is always giving us easy win as long as we was picking it to win the game.

Im a real madrid fan and i consistently picking it since the groupn stage has begun it was always able delivering very good result even agianst napoli as the winner of serie a last season.
That proves how strong real madrid is after consistently beating napoli two times in a row away and home. There was no other club who can be as strong as madrid.

Madrid is having so many young players but these players are fully experienced to play on their roles.

Last season Manchester City managed to create a surprise, after successfully beating Real Madrid in the semifinals, they were also able to complete the match vs Inter Milan in the final. This season there may be new surprises and new champions in the UCL. I think it will be very difficult for Manchester City to defend their title due to their declining performance.

Irrespective of there performance last season there rivals was not much that was why they were able to go that far and wining the champions League but however considering there rivals this season it Will be very difficult for them on this season to display what they did last season because so many strong team are also striving for the champions League trophy so for now we can only predict the clubs that stands on a higher chance of wining the league but it will be very difficult to no the exact team that can win the champions League.

Although if Manchester City would have use the kind of performance they had last season to this season it would have helped them a lot because there last season they were moving in accordance with all the leagues they were playing especially there premier they won the premier League and the champions league at the same time, so if they had come back to this season with that performance they would eventually win the go far but it was quite unfortunate for them this season because they seem a bit poor in performance.

Man City would play Danish champions Copenhagen a team which I believe is a less formidable opponent thus I don't think it is going to be a difficult match for Man City they two clubs previous meeting ended in favor of Man City they played a goalless draw at Copenhagen while in second leg Man City thrashed them 5-0 at Etihad stadium I think in this round of 16 Man City would have an easy qualifications same with Arsenal who play Porto, however after their qualifications for the quarterfinals then they would likely be drawn against a much more formidable opponent, from my own point of view Man City squad of this season isn't as strong like that of last season thus their chances of retaining the UCL would be very tough and unsure.

The lack of consistency in Manchester City's lineup is the only problem preventing them from replicating their previous thrashing performances. I kinda feel that if manchester city is going to win the game with narrow score. I consider that copenhagen is quite strong right now.
It's equal with manchester united and galatasaray. The result will be far different compared to the last season. Im not expecting manchester city to win with huge scores again. City is not playing like previous seasons.
The club must be playing without some important players like bruyne. I wanted to inform you that there have been some changes in the city's lineup from last season, with players like Gundogan and Mahrez moving on. Im not expecting city to get perfect result against copenhagen.

Copenhagen is also a strong club since it was able qualifying to the last 16. People shall not think the old story can repeat itself again. We have been in the different situation.
Manchester city has reached its peak when it was destroying copenhagen with huge scores. It was a disaster for copenhagen to face manchester city agan but im sure copenhagen sees it as a revenge to the manchester city.
CIty has better qualify in the squads compared to the copenhagen.

It is quite interesting when looking at the performance of Manchester City, which is experiencing a consecutive decline from week to week in the EPL, which makes many people lose faith that Manchester City will not be like last season, which can massively meet the expectations of its supporters.

I also feel so, that against Copenhagen is not a big problem to conquer, but with the current situation that happened to Manchester City I feel doubtful, because last season was different from the current season, and it seems that Manchester City seems to lose its strength, honestly this can be used by Copenhagen to dominate the match.

Real Madrid is the only team in group phase round success won all matches and 16 of round will face RB Leipzig, actually the Bundesliga teams is not difficult team opponent and will be easily qualify to quarter final phase. Likely all favorite teams in Champion League from Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have easily opponent teams in 16 of round but will three candidate teams become the winner have to face on quarter final round? For Manchester City with inconsistency performance in domestic league I don't think they will loss opportunity keep becoming strong candidate for champion league winner.

Manchester City will recovery to winning trend exactly with 16 round still play one month later and Manchester City key player Kevin de Bruyne have recovery from injury.

The doubts that football fans have regarding Manchester City are well founded, the decline in performance experienced by Manchester City recently has made them a little pessimistic about their ability to defend the UCL title. Man City have dropped a lot of points in the EPL in recent games, some of the draws coming against teams they should be able to beat easily.

Against Copenhagen is not too difficult a task for Man City, maybe they will win the match easily. But after entering the next round, they will be met with a stronger team. Man City's toughness will be tested after facing opponents such as Bayern Munich, Arsenal or Real Madrid. It will be very difficult for Manchester City to reach the semifinals if Guardiola is not able to improve his performance.

Copenhagen in the group stage did take us by surprise with the qualification they were able to get pass the group stage when we leat expected from them because at the beginning of the season, they did appear like they wear a weak team amongst others in the group, they only had Galatasaray as their equal but then it turned out they are now qualified for the round of sixteen.

I believe Manchester city will still win Copenhagen because Manchester city does even better in the champions league and they don't look more superior to Copenhagen both in their team depth and strength so I think unlike the group stage games, Copenhagen is really going to find it difficult in the round of sixteen because the competition here is even more intensive. Arsenal looks like a better team against Porto and I definitely not expect any much from Porto but more from arsenal to win this game because they look more promising with their performance this season.

Manchester city did have a lucky draw, with their current form, Copenhagen won just 2 of their six league matches and was just lucky that other in the group performed inferior.
Among 9 English, German and spanish team in the top 16, none of them are competing each other except for Leipzig vs Real Madrid, just because there are no other team left.
And English, German and Spanish are expected to come victorius and the only competition I feel is for Real Sociedad who would play with PSG.

[hahay]

Yea, I also see Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the trophy this season because from the look of things, I don't think that there will be any team that will be able to stop them because they have the good quality of players that are desperate and serious to win the league. Man City might not survive the round of 8, if they don't improve in their performance because with the way they have being playing games with inconsistency recently, shows that they will not be able to make it to the finals.

It's still too early to predict that Real Madrid will win the UCL this season, indeed they are still favorites, but I see that Real Madrid's strength this season is not that good and is still on par with other teams.
Currently we still see several teams with equal quality or fairly balanced quality without any significant comparisons, making it possible for fierce competition to take place in the race for the title.
In fact, personally I am a little pessimistic about Real Madrid this season because their front line is not performing impressively enough.

Yes, although Real Madrid is still the favorite team but still, the reality is that Real Madrid is not completely strong so far this season. Therefore, it seems that there is no full guarantee for Real Madrid to get the Champions League trophy this season. Although ya, there are still Manchester City, Bayern Munich and also Inter but at this moment at least they also look to have quality that is not much different.

Therefore, I also think it is still difficult to predict a strong candidate team to get the Champions League trophy this season. Because yes, at least I also still consider their competition and results in the domestic league. Therefore, because at this moment they also look not entirely good then ya, at least the Champions League this season has a more difficult competition because of their performance which is also a serious consideration so far in all competitions still not completely good.

[len01]

Arsenal looks like a better team against Porto and I definitely not expect any much from Porto but more from arsenal to win this game because they look more promising with their performance this season.

I dont know if anyone has discussed when De Bruyne will return to the field, but what is certain is that I heard that it looks like Man City key player will soon be able to appear again with Man city, but there has been no confirmation from the team when he will be able to appear again, which is definitely news. this is very good news for all fans because if De Bruyne can return to the field before the match against Copenhagen and if that can become a reality, it is certain that man City can win and even without De Bruyne only relying on Haaland, they can still win because Copenhagen hasn't quite experienced in this round.

[Distraction]

PSG somehow managed to make it to last 16 phase and they should be thankful for Milan about that. Because if Newcastle kept their advantage and won then PSG were about to say goodbye to the Champions League. However I'm not expecting a big achievement from PSG here this season. Their performance so far hasn't been convincing for that at all.

This isn't the Ligue 1. Maybe they are dominating their domestic league but here the challenge is much more serious. They had a group of death and they were nearly joining the Europa League.

The team effort must be improved much more. Mbappe can't carry this team most of the time in this competition - especially against top contenders.

PSG is just not good enough to actually win the Champions League trophy. I do not care how good they are in Ligue 1. They are not good enough to win the Champions League. And I have always said that they are never going to be ready for the Champions League because they always play in easy mode throughout the whole season. If they do not have any competition to face throughout the whole season, how are they expected to do well when they eventually face good competition in the Champions League? If you play the whole season in easy mode you cannot do well when you face bigger competition.

I think their biggest chance to win the Champions League title was when they had Messi and Neymar right beside Mbappe. Despite its being like a dream team the reality wasn't like that at all I'm afraid. Neymar got injured very often and missed a lot of matches. Messi and Mbappe still had really good statistics but this was still not enough to win the title here.

Now PSG have made big changes in their squad. They are going on with younger talents now. But we clearly see the bad affects of not playing as a complete team yet.

They need to improve their chemistry as much as possible to get ready for big challenges. Normally the transfers they have made for the attacking side are actually really good ones.

Against Copenhagen is not too difficult a task for Man City, maybe they will win the match easily. But after entering the next round, they will be met with a stronger team. Man City's toughness will be tested after facing opponents such as Bayern Munich, Arsenal or Real Madrid. It will be very difficult for Manchester City to reach the semifinals if Guardiola is not able to improve his performance.

Copenhagen team is far behind Manchester City in comparison. Manchester City is a very strong team. Copenhagen, on the other hand, does not have any star players in its squad. The Manchester City team will definitely be ahead of the statistics. But I see no chance of underestimating the Copenhagen team. We saw Copenhagen's performance in the group stage. Copenhagen players were very confident and performed well against the mighty Bayern Munich. Copenhagen lost 2-1 at home against Munich. However, they managed to get 1 point in the away match. Copenhagen showed great dominance in the home match against Manchester United. This is why beating Copenhagen will not be an easy task for Manchester City.

[HajiBagi]

According All football, this is the knockout stage draws.
This draws us a bit fair because almost all teams were paired well, although some teams were lucky to have weak opponents that they are almost sure of their qualifying to the next round.

Arsenal might go far this season because their opponents are not too strong to stop their form even though almost half of the players did not have enough Champions League experience.

These drawings are really passable. The only two teams with formidable opponents are Barcelona versus Napoli and Inter Milan versus Atletico Madrid; these matches will be extremely difficult to predict because both teams are capable of defeating one another. Given Barcelona's poor season-long play and their upcoming matchup with Napoli, what do we think will happen? I did not mean that Napoli could beat Barcelona; rather, I meant that if Barcelona did not play well and with caution, Napoli would win because some Barcelona supporters are about to voice their displeasure.

Arsenal has a great chance to win the Champions League, and I believe they will succeed.The truth is that matches between Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid can all be predicted because they don't have formidable opponents. Although these teams occasionally work extremely hard to defeat well-known teams, I'm confident that Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich will prevail; the only team I can think of with which they might struggle is Dortmund versus PSV, who are also formidable opponents.

[borovichok]

Yea, I also see Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the trophy this season because from the look of things, I don't think that there will be any team that will be able to stop them because they have the good quality of players that are desperate and serious to win the league. Man City might not survive the round of 8, if they don't improve in their performance because with the way they have being playing games with inconsistency recently, shows that they will not be able to make it to the finals.

Inconsistency do happen to clubs that record poor performance in matches, though it's promising to plan ahead. The round of 16 has begun; some clubs did not advance, while others did. Making it to the UCL final is not a simplistic assignment for these clubs because the road trip is fraught with obstacles, with some failing and others succeeding in the final stages. I've seen some of these great clubs become quite erratic in their game results, while others remained solid. Don't get carried away by these elite teams' outstanding forms; they can only be depicted as threats, and the most of them will be tossed from the league.

[sana54210]

If Dortmund is in their best performance, I will definitely favor Dortmund. But seeing Dortmund's recent decline in performance in the Bundesliga can actually make us doubt Dortmund. But there is still plenty of time for them to improve their performance. And PSV is currently unbeatable in the Eredivisie. So PSV looks very convincing at the moment. But I can't decide who is better at the moment. Maybe I would prefer to wait until later when the match schedule is closer. But if I had to choose now then I would still choose Dortmund. Because seeing Dortmund manage to top Group F has made me amazed by their performance in the UCL. Although I am a little disappointed with Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga. But it looks like Dortmund is focusing more on the UCL this season.

I do agree that Dortmund "looks" much better team there without a doubt. I am not saying that they will be the winners, but on paper they look like a much better team and if they play like they should then they should get an easy win, but we do not know how teams face each other as well, strengths and weaknesses are different stuff. In football, you can be a lower level team, but be very greatly matched with other teams strategy and just suddenly win a team that you are much worse again, or you could be the great team, that matched with a lower level team and just badly matched and lose, so you do not really know who will win and how they will face.

First game will show that easily, and second should be easier to predict the winner as well. That's not a bad move for all the games, UCL to europa to conference, let the first games happen, and then you can bet on the second game to see how they will do on the second game as well, much better idea.
