UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

I will not agree with you that Atletico Madrid is an underdog just because they have big odds in MoneyLine to win against Inter Milan in the Uefa Champions League this season. For me, the reason for that big odds is that Atletico Madrid is visiting Inter Milan at home, and winning the Italian clubs in Italy is not that easy. Atletico Madrid has been performing well in the Uefa Champions League in the past years.

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.

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.

You forget that if there will be a lot of players to leave from barcelona. Barcelona has opened the gateway for anyone in the club to leave from there as long as barcelona will get decent amounts of money from selling them.
This is not something new caused by barcelona needs also to pay its debt too. The club has only way to sell some players then xavi will become the main actor to execute which players that must be sold by barcelona to the other club.
Barcelona is financially bad right now and im wondering how long barcelona can survive with in this bad situation for the club. Barcelona has faced more lost compared to the income recieved by the club. Xavi is in trouble now.

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.

Napoli has greater chance to win against barcelona. Barcelona was struggling to face the weak team like almeria. The financial problem gave barcelona a big burden that can't be sorted out in a short time.
Barcelona has very big debt and it can only sustain as lon as barcelona will be selling players for profit then xavi is going to use the profit raised from selling players to pay the debt. Xavi can do nothing caused by the financial pressures has forced him to seold some players soon.
Im wondering who will be the name to go out from barcelona. This is another problem that is almost impossible to be sorted out by xavi.

[Richbased]

Manchester and Real Madrid are actually the favorites again this season, but I don't the two of them are too good enough to be finalist this season like they do last season, because so many teams are trying their best to win the Champions League, and as a team, some of them are playing well more than these two teams; all I know is that, this season will come with some surprises.

I doubt if Manchester City could be able to win Real Madrid on the finals if they both eventually qualify to the final of the game because real Madrid is a professional and more experience than Manchester City because they always win Manchester City whenever they meet them on the champions League finals, however I could remember how there last meeting on the champions league finals ended up after all the performance of Manchester City on that final but real Madrid was able to prove to them that they are more deserving to win the champions league than Manchester City, but however let's see how the end of the season will look like because with the consideration of performance real Madrid and Manchester City are the best candidate to qualify for the finals because they don't have much of a rival.

Real Madrid does have a big chance of winning the Champions League apart from Man City, but don't forget that there is also Bayer Munich who also has the mentality to become champions.
For Man City it was a bit tough, they lost several players who last season were able to beat Real Madrid with a landslide score.
But there are many underdog teams that have qualified for the last 16, which will be very interesting because it can make it difficult for some of the big teams who are regular champions.

Real Madrid, Manchester city, and Bayern Munich are really the strongest squad in the Champions league but let's not forget that football changes as it may not really be the clubs that we feel they gonna win the champions league that will actually win so as we tip the stronger clubs to win, let's not also forget the the less competitive clubs are improving as well so there might actually be something different this champions league season unlike the previous seasons where the bigger clubs always dominated.

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.

Napoli new coach Walter Mazzarri continues to try to stabilize the team. But so far the performance of Napoli is not stable. After Walter Mazzarri became coach, Napoli played 7 matches, won only 3 matches and Napoli lost 4 matches. So Walter Mazzarri should not be trusted too much. The overall performance of the Napoli team is still quite weak.

On the other hand, Barcelona team is not doing well in La Liga. They share points with Valencia. Barcelona won 3-2 with Almeria. However, in the last match, Barcelona lost 3-2 against Club America in a friendly match. Barcelona's team's performance is understandably erratic right now. Looking forward to see what steps coach Xavi takes to strengthen the team.

Walter Mazzarri is trying to repair the mistakes made by Rudi Garcia, it's not easy to fix something broken, especially if the team doesn't have a strong character and can't resist bad moments, as Napoli are experiencing now
This remains a very difficult thing to do, to rise from the ashes, but to be honest I have seen an improvement. Obviously we can't expect him to fix everything right away, he doesn't have a magic wand.

[klidex]

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.

Since Spalleti left the club, Napoli has lost its enthusiasm unlike last season, which had high self confidence so that it was able to appear impressive and consistent in the Italian League. After changing coaches, Napoli increasingly showed instability even though they were able to qualify for the next round in the round of 16 Champions League.
In the last 16, Napoli is starting to have bigger problem facing big club like Barcelona. If you compare the performance of Napoli and Barcelona, it is clear that Barcelona is still the favorite, even though in La Liga, Barcelona is not very consistent, but it is very likely that in the Champions League, Barcelona will fight as hard as they can beat Napoli.

Even so, we shouldn't have too high expectations, in fact, sometime team that we doubt can usually appear surprising. Napoli cannot be underestimate because basically the two team's are not very stable, but yes, the competition in the domestic league and Champions League is very clearly different from the others clubs competing in the Champions League will continue to show its best performance there.

If a team doesn't have strong character and can't resist bad moments, I think this is not the fault of any coach only. I think a lot of people were so impressed by Napoli last season that they expected much more from them this season, but this is not the same Napoli anymore. Or was the last season extraordinary and should not be considered their standard level of play? That's maybe another problem how we judge teams.

I can see the same happening with Aston Villa. If they play this season so well until the end, should we expect the same to happen next season? Outliers can happen both ways. Napoli should be a few points better, but believing that they should again lead the table wasn't realistic given how strong some of the other teams are playing this season.

Talking about the round of 16 match between Bayern Munich and Lazio, this will be a reunion event because the two teams faced each other in the quarterfinals in the 20/21 season. At that time, Bayern Munich won over two legs and won 6-2 on aggregate over Lazio and of course we already know that the result will still be the same as Bayern Munich's victory in the last 16 match.

Even though Lazio is not a strong team like 1 or 2 decades ago, they will definitely still try to make things difficult for Bayern Munich. Maybe if Lazio manages to take the lead in the first leg, which is their home ground, then it will be a big asset when playing the second leg at Bayern Munich's home ground.

Even though it's just speculation, I'm pretty sure it can happen and Bayern Munich will still be able to qualify for the second leg which will take place at the Allianz Arena. Well, currently the odds are 80% for Bayern Munich and 20% for Lazio and even though this is a match at quite a different level, we hope there will be an exciting performance in this match.

It looks like that will happen again because we all know and have to admit that in terms of players Bayern Munich is superior and in terms of performance Munich is also superior.
Bayern Munich is still in the same form as before, even stronger and it is very easy for Tuchel to secure victory to continue the match in the next round and for Lazio only luck can help him to qualify because in the first match Bayern Munich will definitely not want to miss out on scoring The score is bigger so that in the second match you can win with an even bigger aggregate.
Meanwhile, Lazio seems like their attacking player is injured, but it is not known whether this is true and when the player will be able to return. Losing an injured player will definitely have a bad impact on Lazio.

If we talk about luck, of course all teams want that when facing a top team and maybe Lazio will have full hope of that. They are aware that they are not a balanced opponent for Bayern Munich and maybe being able to hold their draw in one of the legs of the match will increase their confidence. Lazio looks like they will try everything they can to make it difficult for Bayern Munich and they must at least learn the attack structure they usually use.

Regarding the Lazio players who suffered injuries, it only affected one player who plays as a center back, namely Alessio Romagnoli, who is currently suffering from a calf injury and although he doesn't know when he will be able to strengthen Lazio again, Maurizio Sarri will definitely try other options to be able to stop the attack structure that will Bayern Munich launches.

I think it is very unlikely that Lazio will win against Bayern Munich. Unless Bayern Munich's players make a big mistake, or several players from Bayern Munich's squad are absent from the match due to injury, Lazio is likely to get the points.

Bayern Munich is a very strong team in the Champions League platform. And this season they have built their squad to win the title. Meanwhile, Harry Kane, the most important player in the Munich squad, is in great form. If Kane plays well, beating Lazio will not be a difficult task for Munich. Lazio is actually quite a weak team this season. Lazio's position in Serie A is 11th. The team's defense is also not strong.

I agree with you. Walter Mazzarri tries to correct Garcia's mistakes. But we don't know yet whether he will succeed. And so far Walter Mazzarri has not even been able to stabilize the Napoli team. Defeat in 4 out of 7 matches is not a good result. And against Barcelona, Walter Mazzarri will solve all the problems of the Napoli team, it seems less likely. For these reasons, I cannot consider the Napoli team as a favorite in the match against Barcelona. Walter Mazzarri needs more time to strengthen their squad. At the same time, Walter Mazzarri will be looking to strengthen the squad by adding players of his choice to the squad. It is definitely time consuming.

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 believe Barcelona's current situation is more about finances than Xavi's or the team's tactical prowess. Their financial problems arent new, but their debt is forcing the sale of important players. Team performance is affected. This is showing in their defensive flaws, which Napoli, especially with Osimhen in great form, might exploit.

Barcelona's difficulties against Almeria suggests deeper issues than injuries or player transfers. Financial issues dont go away quickly, and Xavi is struggling to manage them. Any coach finds it difficult to foresee matches like the one against Napoli. Im curious how they'll handle these stormy times.

[bering]

Porto performance during group stages was quite impressive because at the end of group stages they can able to finish at runner up position and Porto has equal point with Barcelona and last season at round of 16 Porto journey have to stopped because at that time they were eliminated by Inter Milan and this season too Porto will gets strong opponent Arsenal and after absense for 6 years finally Arsenal can return to this competition and they were finish at first place after gets 4 wins and 1 draw and for this match Arsenal status as the favourite and Porto as underdog team

If we talking about recent performance from them both teams are equally in the good shape because their performance at their domestic league is quite good even Arsenal can occupy first place on league standings and their latest meeting on Champion league was happened on season 2009/2010 at that time Arsenal can able to win with big scores from Porto 5-0 and for the first leg Porto will playing as a host i think they will attempts to gets the winning results from Arsenal but for champion league Porto records at home isn't too impressive so let see who is the winner of this match whether it Arsenal or Porto

[ILuckyGuyI]

By the way, the 16 of round drawing will be set up later for quarter final round, likely Manchester City in the drawing match for quarter final possibility will face Real Madrid and Bayern Munich until semifinal phase? or quarter final will make new drawing again.

As far as I know there will be a fresh draw for the quarter finals round. It isn't already set about the winners of which matchups will get a draw against each other. Otherwise a matchup between Real Madrid and Manchester City would be seen in the quarter finals which would be really interesting. It would be like an early finale in the Champions League. 

I hope to see a finale between these 2 teams honestly rather than seeing Bayern Munich there. Because I don't think that Bayern Munich's current game in the Champions League is good enough to reach the finale.

If we see more improvement from Bayern Munich then I wouldn't say no to seeing one of the finalists as them of course.

Lazio is actually quite a weak team this season. Lazio's position in Serie A is 11th. The team's defense is also not strong.

Since Bayern Munich got players like Kane during the summer for their teams I think they are aiming straight for the title of the Champions League and that's their priority for this season.
That's why losing the Lazio is not something we can expect to see from Bayern Munich and it's totally worth it to bet on Bayern Munich for this match they have against Lazio.
Lazio is currently in the 11 place of Serie A with 21 points.

Indeed Mazzari has not been able to bring very good changes to Napoli, in fact, the last time they lost quite badly to Frosinone which made them have to be eliminated from the Coppa Italia even though that happened because Mazzari only played more of Napoli's second-tier players but the defeat was quite disappointing.
Seeing how Barcelona is currently, I think both teams have the same chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals and the home match will be quite crucial for both teams.
Whichever team can maximize the home match by winning it with a convincing score, they will have a better chance of qualifying, and because Napoli is the home team in this first leg, so they must be able to maximize this well because the pressure will be greater on Barcelona in the second leg, who playing at home can sometimes be more difficult when they are behind.

How are you sure it's going to be Manchester City and Real Madrid,do you think they are the two best teams in this competition? No,I don't see that because there are other teams which you do not expect,but might surprise you to reach the final of this competition.Arsenal have had  a good run of form so far,and are not far from favourite for this tittle as well,while Dortmund have surprised everyone to finish ontop of their group of death,where they had PSG,Milan,Dortmund and Newcastle,so finishing ontop of that group really surprised me because I wasn't expecting it.
We also have Bayern which are inform too,and might just shock everybody by getting to the final of this competition.
It is an open game,and anybody or any team can reach the final,depending on how that team performs,but I tip Arsenal to be able to reach the final.

That's why losing the Lazio is not something we can expect to see from Bayern Munich and it's totally worth it to bet on Bayern Munich for this match they have against Lazio.
Lazio is currently in the 11 place of Serie A with 21 points.

placing bets early on this match is very risky because there are still many matches in the domestic league which will affect the performance of these two teams and injuries are one of the nightmares for the players while we dont know what changes will occur because the match will start in february next year. but if we are just speculating, it is clear that Bayern Munich will also be favored bookmakers because this team has a very reliable scoring machine, even Kane is one of the top scoring players in the Bundesliga and there is no doubt that Bayern Munich can beat Lazio with easy.

Tuchel, as coach of Bayern Munich, is currently very enthusiastic after being able to successfully recruit Kane, making Tuchel belief in winning the title in the UCL this season.

[QueenVera]

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.

Between Napoli and Barcelona currently, there's no much difference because both teams have flaws they're battling with. For Barcelona, they're not so grounded yet as there's a bit of shakiness and inconsistencies in their usual performances before now. They're now at a low leveled performance phase than they are normally known for.

 For Napoli, the team just got a new boss and so Mazarri is trying hard to implement strategies that best fits his team and would give them the required results. There are still weeks to the round of 16 games, so it's more chance given to both teams to improve themselves in their various league games and then be better prepared for the encounter in February. Judging both teams, they've got same odds of qualification based on the current teams' technicality and definitely the players in the team are eager for a win.

Bayern Munich are always the favorites every season in the Champions League, but they are still below the other teams in terms of percentage chance of winning. Oh yes, if I'm not mistaken Bayern Munich are one of the teams that are always in the Champions League and never absent.
Competition in the Champions League is difficult to predict, because although there are differences between the teams that will compete, the differences are not so far away so the chances of each team to win are greater. Manchester City, who are the team holding the status of defending champions, this season they have some problems, so in the Premier League alone they are a little shuffling, they are still a favorite, but I see them not as strong as the previous season.

Lazio is currently in the 11 place of Serie A with 21 points.

We know that Bayern Munich experienced an increase in the quality of play in the UCL group phase that they previously played in and all of that was because there were several players who performed quite well.
For the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich doesn't really optimize their quality well because it can be said that Bayern Munich is focused and really aiming for the UCL title.
It is possible that Bayern Munich could be close to the title and at least they could continue playing until the quarter-finals or top 8.
When they are in the quarter-finals, that when Bayern Munich strength will really be tested against other teams who will certainly give their full performance.

Moreover, we all know that Lazio is not strong team in Serie A but they did not perform badly in the group phase yesterday so underestimating Lazio is also not the right thing.

The match in the 1st leg will still take place in mid-February and there are more than 50 days remaining, of course there will also be thorough preparation from Lazio and if bettors take bets from now then it is too early.
It just that I agree that Bayern Munich will remain the favorite in this match.
