UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[harapan]

TBH, I doubt if Atletico Madrid can beat Inter Milan. Inter Milan looks strong enough to defeat Atletico Madrid. Their stats in Serie A and in UCL look quite impressive. In UCL, Inter Milan won 3 matches and got 3 draws, they never got a lose. So, I think Inter Milan should be the favorite to win the match over Atletico Madrid.

I'm also picking Inter to win this tie, but if you look at it closely you'll see that the difference is not to a part.
Inter is in Avery good form, they win their matches and play better, but we all know the kind of team Someone's Atletico Madrid is. They are fighters, they battle every match out, one after the other. They don't care about playing well, they just care about winning. If Ibter gets unlucky, Atletico would hurt them. And don't also forget that it's a two legged tie, Atletico don't mind playing 0-0 in Milan and winning 1-0 in Madrid, it's what they do, they're good at it.
Inter has to be ready to score goals in both legs before they can win.
On paper, Inter is the favorite but on the pitch it could be a different ball game.

[Ndabagi01]

The match won't be hard to forecast, in my opinion, because everyone is aware that Barcelona is playing well right now, as opposed to earlier when they were playing poorly. Now, they have returned to their typical shape. I can see the difference suggest decision even thought I want place a bet how rather Barcelona to win against Napoli. Some of the predict that many here are saying won't happen that Barcelona won't win the Champions League this year. Please allow us to cease contrasting them. I'm positive that Barcelona can easily defeat Napoli.

It is not easy as you said, and Napoli is not a small team that can just be defeated just like that; they have good players and a reliable striker up front, and their team is not far from Barcelona's team in terms of performance and the player quality, I also think it will be a hard prediction either. Barcelona will not win this season's Champions League as you said because they are not too strong this season, and their are other teams that are better than them, if Barcelona was able to eliminate Napoli, they will not go far in the Champions League unless they keep having favorable draws.

[ginsan]

I have a slightly different opinion than you. I think the Barca and Napoli pair is quite unpredictable; they are the reigning champions of both the Spanish and Italian leagues. Currently, the form of both Barca and Napoli is not good, but when they face each other, the result is hard to predict. Napoli's style of play remains challenging for teams from England and Spain. Therefore, it's not easy for Barca to overcome Napoli in this round.

I believe there might be a surprise in the PSG and Real Sociedad matchup. Most people rate Real Sociedad lower than PSG, but their form this season has been quite good. I think they are even better than PSG at the moment, not just because they dominate their group with unbeaten performances.

These two teams are equally strong when viewed from their status as champions in their respective league, but this season both team have experienced quite significant setbacks for them in the domestic league. I think the meeting between these two big teams will be quite interesting because both of these team both have stickers that were quite productive in scoring goals in the previous season and even became top scorers in their respective leagues. So we will see the quality of Osimhen and Lewandowksi in this match where these two players are an important part of their respective squad so that their best will be seen when they succeed in scoring goals and bringing their team to victory.

This match is difficult to predict, but in my opinion, if napoli does not lose any players or not things are injured, Napoli will be able to provide significant resistance to Barcelona. Barcelona too will have the first leg with an away match which could be difficult for them later. Xavi doesn't have a special record in helping barcelona beat teams from Serie A representatives. So this will be a tough job for xavi in ​​the round of 16.

[Asiska02]

Squad depth and experience tend to give Barcelona an edge over Napoli in the Champions League, but the teams' performances this season have been relatively similar in their respective domestic leagues. I hope that Barcelona will be able to qualify for the quarter-finals this season by beating Napoli, even if Barcelona fails to reach the semi-finals then Xavi will actually have brought the team up two levels from previous seasons in the Champions League. Of course I don't consider Barcelona capable of getting to the final and winning the title, that seems unlikely.

Napoli was the home team in the first leg, so it is possible that they could perform better than Barcelona. I don't think we can analyze what their chances will be in this match, I mean there are several things that might change it, including the availability of players in the starting line-up.

I doubt if Barcelona will be able to defeat Napoli easily; remember, Barcelona is not in a good form this season, they couldn't make it in the Champions League last season, and some of their players were injured; while Napoli is not also too strong this season due to injury, they are in good shape than Barcelona because they have players to depend on, and with the way they played in the Champions League last season, I think this Xavi's team cannot easily defeat Napoli, but it will not be easy to predict because all the teams can qualify.

Barcelona are not playing well in the league, but they have the spirit to compete with other teams and defeat them in the Champions League. Napoli's performance is not too bad this season, but they messed up in some matches they were stronger last season, Xavi has many experience players that will help the club and defeat Napoli in the round 16 of the Champions Leagues. Napoli is a good club, and it will be a fascinating match to watch them play against Barcelona in the Champions League. Both clubs are struggling, But I know Barcelona is having a bad season and he can affect them in the competition and some of the Barcelona's players are injured. I believe the players will be fit to play against them before the match because if Barcelona keeps playing like this in the league I don't think they can win the Champions League.

Therefore, it's not easy for Barca to overcome Napoli in this round.

When it involves the UEFA Champions League matches, there are clubs we know that they're 100% serious and competent to face their opponents, be it elite or a club that's inferior. Napoli new coach, Walter Mazzarri is starting to develop the club to become one of the prominent clubs that shoots faster and higher scores to qualify, but Barcelona can just win the lucky star by winning. Napoli might not be in good stable shape at the moment, the exact thing happens to Barcelona but I actually think these teams can actually fixed themselves up and running.

Therefore, it's not easy for Barca to overcome Napoli in this round.

When you look at the performance of this two teams, it is very obvious that they are on the same level now. Their individual performance in both leagues is just the same and nothing much can be said in their upcoming match against each other. One of this two teams will be eliminated from this round and won’t advance to the quarterfinals, the thought of it makes it more interesting to watch out for their match by next year when they meet in the round of 16.

Barcelona is currently not in a good situation, otherwise, a team like Napoli could never beat Barcelona with the performance they had during the last season with their coach Xavi, but since there are many injured players in this team and there are many players who left the team, I think this can be hard as you said to predict this match.
I think Napoli can have a good chance to score a goal in this game if they have Osimhen in the good form because the defenders of Barcelona have not performed well recently.

[Stepstowealth]

If you watch Barcelona's match last weekend and look at Napoli on, you will see Napoli are more stronger than them and their performance is good, Xavi just needs to get a new striker and play well because if they continue playing like that, I don't think they can compete with Madrid and Girona in the league, let alone the Champions League, and I don't think Barcelona can win the Champions League with there performance this season. Athletico Madrid vs Inter Milan will be a challenging game because both clubs are performing well in their respective leagues, but the outcome may be predicted based on their key players. Because Inter Milan are in good health and top their league table and they have a very competent coach with experience, he will lead them to victory over Athletico Madrid and go to the next round of the championship.

Barcelona are an unreliable team to depend on at the moment in any competition they play. Their performance has been far from convincing unlike Napoli, who had a headliner Victor Osimhen with a goal and a world class assist, he can also be the difference against Barcelona for Napoli if he remains in the club.

What do you think will be the effect of the european super league on the champions league? Will it lead to the collapse of this competition?

I think Napoli without Spalletti will not be able to go further in the Champions League this season. Napoli faced a big obstacle in the round of 16 because Barcelona is not a weak team even though they have not been in good form recently, but in the Champions League, Barcelona performance is certainly much better compared to the domestic league. This match will be a life and death match for Napoli in the first leg because if they fail to get a win at home then they have no hope of beating Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Barcelona wants to record a new history under Xavi coaching so they will try their best to beat Napoli in the round of 16. Napoli don't even have any hope of winning the title this season because in Serie A they are far behind Inter Milan and also in the Champions League they have quite a big obstacle in the round of 16.

Barcelona is currently not in a good situation, otherwise, a team like Napoli could never beat Barcelona with the performance they had during the last season with their coach Xavi, but since there are many injured players in this team and there are many players who left the team, I think this can be hard as you said to predict this match.
I think Napoli can have a good chance to score a goal in this game if they have Osimhen in the good form because the defenders of Barcelona have not performed well recently.

Injuries can significantly weaken current Barcelona that makes them vulnerable even against teams they might have historically outperformed. Under normal circumstances, Barcelona, with their historical prowess and talent, would not be easily defeated by a team like Napoli. However, the current circumstances have altered the competitive landscape. But Napoli is not at their best too, even though they still have Osimhen who will terrorize the vulnerability of Barcelona's defenders. Barcelona's defense has become a big issue this season suggesting that they will struggle against good attackers.

Both Barcelona and Napoli not being good this season implies a certain level of uncertainty and difficulty in predicting the outcome of the match. This introduces an element of unpredictability, making it hard to confidently assert the outcome of the game. There is a rationale argument for Barcelona's recent struggles, but Napoli's decline makes it easier for Barcelona.

[TelolettOm]

I think that Barcelona just now look a bit worse than Napoli in terms of their physicality, so you can make even a slight bias in favour of a Napoli win. But since there will be two matches, it's hard to say exactly how the 1/8 will end. Both teams know how to get back on track

Do you mean many of Barcelona players injured?
Indeed, Barcelona still has 4 injured players. There are Iñigo Martínez, Marcos Alonso, Pedri, Gavi, and Ter Stegen. Losing these players will bring big impacts for Barcelona performance. Specifically losing the main goalkeeper, Ter Stegen.
Meanwhile, Napoli only has 2 injured players, both of them are not the main players. So, Napoli has no problem with injured players.
In this matter, we can see that Napoli seems more ready for the match.

Barcelona wants to record a new history under Xavi coaching so they will try their best to beat Napoli in the round of 16. Napoli don't even have any hope of winning the title this season because in Serie A they are far behind Inter Milan and also in the Champions League they have quite a big obstacle in the round of 16.

I think Barcelona isn't in the best condition to make a record. Sure, they will play to beat Napoli, Xavi must have a plan. But since Barcelona players aren't in good performance, I am not really sure Barcelona easily to win the match.

[Mayor of ogba]

Sevilla is one of three teams that failed to win a single win in the Champions League group stage. This is very scary because the other teams that did not achieve a single win were Red Star and Union Berlin, which could be called mediocre teams. Actually I hope Sevilla can appear in the UEFA European League because they have an impressive record there. But after seeing their ranking in the league I think Sevilla this season is really ruined and does not deserve to qualify for the UEFA European League. Last season they achieved 13 wins at the end of the season. And this season they only achieved 2 wins from 16 matches.

Sevilla has no strong squad anymore, he lost many key players in the previous transfer windows. I am not surprising if Sevilla failed to win a single match in UCL. It makes sense if he is the weakest team in group B, they are even almost in the relegation zone in La Liga. If we analyze this fact, we must understand if Sevilla probably dropped very much their performance this season. No doubt that Sevilla has a lot of problems to be solved. If Sevilla wants to be competitive again, they must rebuild the squad. They must buy some good players in the next transfer windows.

I think everyone has similar thoughts about PSG. What I will point out will be more interesting. So, if PSG surprises this year and reaches the semi-finals or finals, will this success be Enrique's success? Maybe if such a thing happens, Mbappe will stay in the team and with a few great transfers, PSG will be one of the favorites next year. This probability is very low, but what if it happens? That's when PSG can catch fire again.

I don't think so. I doubt if PSG will go far in UCL this season, they are even almost not qualified for the knock-out phase. So, I don't want to expect much about PSG to reach semi-final or final round. Regarding Mbappe, I believe he will leave PSG whatever the result got by PSG in UCL this season. Mbappe and PSG has no good relationship, it is no longer a comfort place for Mbapee. He also needs to prove his quality by playing in another team. I assume Mbappe will be in Real Madrid for the next season.

With the way PSG performed in the group stage of the Uefa Champions League, I do not expect PSG to progress to the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League this season, but PSG had an easy draw in the round of 16 against Real Sociedad, and they will win against Real Sociedad to reach the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

[BRINIRHA]

Both Napoli and Barcelona are not enjoying a good form so far in their domestic leagues,they have a lot of oscillations and they are quite volatile as teams who were Champions just the last year in their domestic leagues,as such I predict a strong game between these two teams as most likely both will give a really high priority to this clash.

The Atletico vs Inter game is a strong one as both teams are in red hot form with Inter being a bit better in my opinion but still Atletico is there too so this for me is the most interesting encounter and of course the strongest of all other encounters which look easy on paper for most teams.

If you watch Barcelona's match last weekend and look at Napoli on, you will see Napoli are more stronger than them and their performance is good, Xavi just needs to get a new striker and play well because if they continue playing like that, I don't think they can compete with Madrid and Girona in the league, let alone the Champions League, and I don't think Barcelona can win the Champions League with there performance this season. Athletico Madrid vs Inter Milan will be a challenging game because both clubs are performing well in their respective leagues, but the outcome may be predicted based on their key players. Because Inter Milan are in good health and top their league table and they have a very competent coach with experience, he will lead them to victory over Athletico Madrid and go to the next round of the championship.

Well, looking at Barcelona's current condition, it's not very convincing. But Barcelona's current poor performance may change in February. So actually predicting it from now on I think is still difficult to do. Maybe we have to wait until the end of January. And we can look back at its development at that time. Because a football team's performance can change quickly, even in just a few weeks. So it could be that Napoli looks better now but we don't know in February. But if we talk now, it looks like Napoli is a little better. But that's now, not later. And actually, even now, Napoli vs Barcelona is still difficult to predict.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan might be an advantage for Inter Milan if you look at the current conditions. Because Inter Milan has been very hopeful so far. Last season Inter Milan also surprised everyone by making it to the UCL final. I think it is possible that this season they will repeat it again.

Meanwhile, Napoli only has 2 injured players, both of them are not the main players. So, Napoli has no problem with injured players.
In this matter, we can see that Napoli seems more ready for the match.

Barcelona faced with crucial problem injury because many of key player have been absent until the end of this season and they will absent on Champion League match phase of 16. Gavi, and Ter Stegen is the most important players for Barcelona who filled line up on every match, but loss him exactly with Ter Stegen Barcelona have conceded many goals last several matches and this proof how important him for Barcelona goal keeper. I think Iñaki Peña is not still on the top level performance with 5 matches in La Liga appearances he has conceded 8 goals and made one clean sheet only.
Its proof how weakness with Barcelona goals keeper and easily conceded many goals under Iñaki Peña and difference under Ter Stegen success made many clean sheet.

Im thinking PSG will be out from the UCL. This club is not that strong even with so much mney used by the club. It's still under dortmund. PSG is far from good to win the UCL this season. Im not underestimating PSG but the level of PSG is far below compared to the real madrid or even bayern munich right now. Enrique may have a chance to make it happen next season but the only problem if PSG is going to lose mbappe. It was a disaster once mbappe is going to leave from PSG soon. Mbappe's contribution was quite big compared to the other players in the club.

Sociedad was strong enough. PSG may be facing difficulty to beat it. Sociedad never lose against intermilan which was runner up of UCL last season. It must be noted that if i saw PSG is not equal compared to the real sociedad.
Real sociedad has very big chance to win against PSG. PSG is not that good like what it used to be. Real sociedad was also very familiar with the strategy that may be used by enrique to face it.

Im counting on sociedad in the upcoming match. Real sociedad will able to destroy PSG soon.

[Despairo]

How can you call Athletico Madrid under dog,do you know what they are capable of doing? I even think they can surprise  Inter Milan because they are doing an incredible work this season,they are not far behind in the Lalliga table,and with their performances this season,you can't underrate them like that.

You can easily see Atletico Madrid is an underdog by looking to their odds in MoneyLine, as you can see PSG and Inter are favorite because PSG is a club with star players while Inter was a runner up in the last season.

You must also remember that they matches would be player in February next year, that relatively a long time from now. Teams can loose form or gain from during this period. Players can get injured and coaches can be changed and make the team better within this period.
Barcelona and Arsenal are favorites, but you can't be a hundred percent certain that they'll win.

That's correct, there's a possibility many Barcelona and Arsenal's players could injured, then they will play without full squad. This thing is inevitable and will make Napoli or FC Porto to beat them.

But if we talk all of them will play with full squad, I believe Barcelona and Arsenal are stronger than Napoli and FC Porto.

[Minor Miner]

I think Napoli can have a good chance to score a goal in this game if they have Osimhen in the good form because the defenders of Barcelona have not performed well recently.

Barcelona are a bit off form right now it's true. However, I think Barcelona can do well against Napoli. Because the performance of the Napoli team is not good this season. They are not able to dominate in Serie A. The team has won only 8 out of 16 matches in Serie A. If they are in good form like they were last season I would definitely consider Napoli favorites against Barcelona. But since the performance of Napoli players is also completely erratic. Especially the team's defense is quite weak. For these reasons, I will call Barcelona the favorite for this match. Barcelona's squad looks stronger than Napoli's to me.

I don't think so, this is a match between two teams who are down this season so anything is possible and both teams still have the same chance.
Napoli with its new coach has not yet found its best performance, as well as Barcelona, which has seen no improvement in performance, but in fact their performance has decreased, we can see this in the last few matches they have played in La Liga matches.

sometimes these games are not just in the way we view it, these bookie's and odds providers  uses the sizes of odds to direct our thoughts on what the possible out come of a game may look like but at the end the results as we bequeath comes out differently.

For  teams like Barcelona and Napoli they have both been struggling this season in their respective domestic league's and as a reminder these two teams won as champions of their respective domestic league title last season but currently Barcelona is battling with a 3rd place on their league table while Napoli is 5th on theirs. So therefore, in my opinion these two teams is hard to say for sure which will survive to the next stage of the UCL unlike Arsenal that we all know are in their best form this season topping their domestic league table so going by their performance it is easily to say that FC Porto will have no chance with Arsenal and I don't think arsenal will be dropping form anytime soon too.

I think Napoli can have a good chance to score a goal in this game if they have Osimhen in the good form because the defenders of Barcelona have not performed well recently.

I get your point concerning Barcelona's slump. No doubt, injuries and player departures have hurt them. Don't rule them out yet. Barcelona does well in major games, especially the Champions League, despite their troubles. Domestic performance may not predict their performance against Napoli. Napoli isn't weak, but without Spalletti, they'll struggle. They're lagging in Serie A and facing a weaker Barcelona is difficult. I still think Barcelona has the edge; history and high-pressure experience may matter. Even though Osimhen is a threat, Barcelona's defense will take more than one player in form to break down

[Swordsoffreedom]

If you watch Barcelona's match last weekend and look at Napoli on, you will see Napoli are more stronger than them and their performance is good, Xavi just needs to get a new striker and play well because if they continue playing like that, I don't think they can compete with Madrid and Girona in the league, let alone the Champions League, and I don't think Barcelona can win the Champions League with there performance this season. Athletico Madrid vs Inter Milan will be a challenging game because both clubs are performing well in their respective leagues, but the outcome may be predicted based on their key players. Because Inter Milan are in good health and top their league table and they have a very competent coach with experience, he will lead them to victory over Athletico Madrid and go to the next round of the championship.

Barcelona are an unreliable team to depend on at the moment in any competition they play. Their performance has been far from convincing unlike Napoli, who had a headliner Victor Osimhen with a goal and a world class assist, he can also be the difference against Barcelona for Napoli if he remains in the club.

What do you think will be the effect of the european super league on the champions league? Will it lead to the collapse of this competition?

I would say that both Barcelona and Napoli  are in the same situation at the moment. Barcelona's  performance has  deteriorated. Napoli's performance  is not strong either. Napoli's  performance is also quite poor  and erratic. Osimhen's performance this season is not even good. Osimhen scored only one  goal in four Champions League matches. He could not make any assist. However, there is no doubt that this match will be very competitive. But I can't call any team favorite. As the performances of both the teams are poor now. So I would say 50-50 for both of them to win this match.
