UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[RockBell]

Classically Manchester City is a contender for the Champions League and EPL titles by default. What makes this easy to happen is the fact that the other teams are playing poorly. Let's start with Manchester United bad debut, Liverpool out of its normal shape, Bayern Munich and PSG aren't that competitive, Real Madrid wasn't playing as they used to do, Barcelona failed bad in European competitions altogether... That was like a direct road to the titles. Even the Italian clubs weren't successful in stopping City.

I don't think other clubs played poor, is not that bad, just that lack of insight, focus, and strategy, aside playing I think there are other factors that give an advantage over other clubs, I noticed one thing about manchester city recently during the leagues from the beginning and the middle of the seasons they make sure to win as many matches as they could, to gather point so that towards the end of the season they don't stress to much, and manchester united and Liverpool actually did well, the only club that did not do well is Chelsea, one thing about football is new season new performance.

Did you wanna say if city was lucky enough caused by another team performed poorly during last season? i can't even agree with you. What about arsenal? You are only taking MU and Liverpool while arsenal played so perfect since early of season.
I can't even agree with you. The fact that if it's not all of clubs were playing so badly. Some clubs even make impressive performance during last season. The main reason if manchester city was reaching its peak performance last season.
There is also a chance for chelsea to repeat the same thing again next season. So many clubs have been trying so hard to prevent city.
Even city has been facing the difficult way to win UCL last season but city was over power last season. I just tell you this if the domination by city may continue till next season.

Has stated above I also did not agree with him about other clubs playing poor, and arsenal did play well but at some point, they started losing games which affected their point accumulation that was the advantage manchester city had over them, and I don't know if Arsenal was scared of manchester city, one way or the other manchester city always win against them, and I don't agree that city will dominate next season, you can not judge what happened this season with that of next season.

Arsenal weren't very good at the end of the season..... So City were able to use Arsenal's mistakes to their advantage.... But of course you can't say that City were just lucky.... Objectively in the last season of the Champions League for me there were two candidates to win... Real Madrid and Man City... I even thought that they would meet in the final, but it happened earlier....

The most consistent team last season was Manchester City. They were very consistent at the start of the season. And they get stronger towards the end of the season. Guardiola was able to fix all the minor problems within the team. And Guardiola's match strategy was also excellent. And so Manchester City's performance deteriorated. Had Arsenal's performances continued towards the end of the season, it would have been very difficult for City to win the title.

If Manchester City and Real Madrid had not met in the final, then maybe we would have seen the final between these two teams. However, Madrid had several tactical errors against Manchester City. I think their defenders suddenly lost confidence which is why they lost badly against City.

In fact, with the new Arab owners, Newcastle became the richest football club in the world.
The new owners clearly have a very good strategy and long-term plan for Newcastle and they are in no rush. Already in the first real season, they won participation in the Champions League without investing too much money for new players.
I think Newcastle will continue to grow every season and could soon replace Manchester City at the top of English and European football.
It won't happen overnight, but in 4-5 years, I believe that Newcastle could reach and even overtake Manchester City, with such a patient and smart plan for the gradual growth of the club by the new owners.
This season, it is still too early to expect big things from them.

Every team can develop in a better direction if they have good finances and management too. Newcastle is one of the many teams that have a lot of spending each season because of their owners, but they will not easily overtake Manchester City who have dominated the Premier League in recent seasons. If Newcastle can be consistent in their good changes, then surely they will be a tight competitor in the Premier League among several other top teams.

Indeed, there is a possibility that Newcastle can become a great competitor in both the Premier League and the Champions League, but they must be consistent enough and continue to improve the quality of their team from season to season.

One beauty about the UEFA Champions League is that it is the home of surprises and upsets. Newcastle can pull up a surprise in the champions league next season and surprise many punters of the game. I believe the Newcastle United team goal is to reach the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. I believe Eddie Howe can achieve that

I hope so but we must see how good newcastle during the early match of premier league. UCL is a place where so many greatest clubs competed to beat each other. Newcastle gonna be among the best club who gonna try to win UCL trophy.
Eddie howe needs to strengthen its squad to face UCL next season. That will not ba an easy job to be done by him. It's caused by newcastle is playing again in UCL after the club was absent for a very long time. I just gonna say if newcastle may come with something new compared with last season.

Newcastle needs to make sure its level gonna be in the same level as manchester city to compete in UCL next season. I have faith in newcastle will be achieving better result compared with arsenal or even manchester united itself.

The coach tries so hard to bring some great players to the club.

If you look at it in terms of the main goal of all the teams that have entered the Champions League next season is to win the Champions League. But because remembering that it will never be easy for all teams in fighting to become champions in the Champions League, of course some teams only target achievements for certain rounds. But if they can get more than that, I think that's more worthy of being called a surprise.

[shogun47]

Newcastle are going to be new around here after a really long break. They qualified for the Champions League in the 2003/04 season the last time. It must be times with Alan Shearer. Now they don't have one of the best squads in the EPL though. They have just consolidated the squad a little more after the sale of the team.

However this was still enough for them to make it to top 4. But to maintain this level they need to increase the squad quality more than this. Tonali has joined the team which I call a really good transfer to the area between defense and the centre of midfield. He can secure the defense area more as a solid defensive midfielder.

But there is still a need for more transfers if they aim to do some noteworthy things in the Champions League. It is important for the EPL and CL both of course.

But nobody expected them to do as well as they did in the Premier League last season and I find it a bit difficult to predict how much potential is still left to be used in the team they have and what kind of players they can sign during the transfer window that is still open for some time. I wouldn't underestimate them while at the same time not expect too much, but it is one of these teams that could be able to surprise us during the group stage. There have been underdogs in the past beating the favorites during the group stage and I wouldn't call Newcastle an underdog. They are something in between because they are not known very well yet.

Newcastle United is having tag of surprise package in last season because in presence of teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham they have fourth spot which is impressive now first time they are jumping into Champions League even have no high expectations, but things are looking good for them because they have target of going with long term planning and most chances if they have something positive this could be also good for them because now their main focus is still having place into top four in Premier League and it's never been easy with now many changes are happening and teams are increasing their potential for fighting hard in future.

If they reach into knock out stage this could be impressive for them because things are surely not good, but they have enough quality to do things as they need to have better end of next season as well.

I think Newcastle United is in a great spot right now also in the Champions League as the expectations aren't that high a for other teams. If they get knocked out in the group stage, nobody will really talk negatively about them since they don't have the Messis and Ronaldos on their team and everyone thinks they must win the title. For PSG the talk started as soon as they did not win a game even in the group stage. This is where it is much more comfortable for Newcastle and they can deeply put their focus onto things that are important. It's the training and the analysis and they can see  what's possible in the competition. I think sometimes it can be quite freeing to not be omnipresent in the media that is raising the pressure for weeks and months before the first game even started.

Arsenal got off to a flying start last season which they maintained until the middle of the season but were unable to get off to a flying start due to injuries to most of their players. They lost the English Premier League title to Manchester City at the very end of the season with most of the regular XI sidelined with injuries. They will probably regret coming so close to the Premier League title but losing in the end.  

On the other hand, Manchester City is one of the favorites in this season of the Champions League, but the biggest obstacle for Manchester City was Real Madrid.  
I expected Real Madrid and Manchester City to play in the final, unfortunately these two teams met in the semi-final which resulted in one team being eliminated from the semi-final and that team was Real Madrid. Later, Manchester City won the Champions League for the first time from the semi-finals to the final and from the final.

I think Osimhen is a perfect striker for PSG and he will be useful for PSG even that team start a new season with or without Mbappe. With Osimhen, PSG will have a good striker who will bring many goals for their team and more than that, he will be able to support Mbappe (if Mbappe stays) and other players by his readiness to do proactively defense at the frontline.

If anyone needs examples for his readiness to do that, look at his performance in Champions League matches with Leipzig. Even when Napoli led with big goal difference, Osimhen still chased the ball around the box of Leipzig.

PSG must prepare a backup option if they fail to reach a contract extension with Mbappe and have to sell him in this season's transfer market, Victo Osimhen is the perfect option to replace Mbappe, his performance was quite consistent last season and he managed to become Napoli's top scorer with 26 goals from 32 matches in Serie A, proving Osimhen's capacity to be PSG's striker. But still dilemma with PSG current Mbappe situation unclear yet, not confirming about extend contract or not make negotiation for PSG signing new player faced difficult. PSG should have final decision from Mbappe extend or sell him in this summer window transfer before loss compete with other teams who in fighting race sign Osimhen.

Winning the Champions League title is always very difficult. The best teams from La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga perform in the Champions League. Almost every team has a strong squad. This is why it is very difficult to predict which team will win the Champions League. Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are all looking to strengthen their squads. Adding new players to the squad. And so I am not sure whether the performance of these teams will be stable in the coming season. But Guardiola has kept his squad largely unchanged. Manchester City's performance is most likely to be stable at the start of next season.

There are some questions that must be answered first.

1. Which club gonna buy mbappe?
2. Will mbappe reach verbal agreement with that club?

PSG is now pushing real madrid to buy mbappe but real madrid doesn't wanna be ended like barcelona as a club with very big debt. I can't deny madrid has big debt but it will be even crazy if the club will be buying mbappe from PSG.

I never hear if PSG is willing to pay €180 millions for osimhen's releasea clause and that means osimhen unlikely join in PSG this season. There's no club interested in signing osimhen with such price.

It makes sense for Manchester city to maintain their performance and line-up to be like last season which means that Manchester city has a high and consistent commitment.
Next season will be a dancing competition because big clubs will compete after getting new players who will prove who deserves the champions league title.
I think if Manchester City are not careful maybe Real Madrid will be able to fight him.

IMO, it is very likely that PSG and Mbappe will agree on a contract extension. however, Mbappe can still leave in the following season. thus, PSG will not suffer many losses and Mbappe can still leave for Real Madrid. PSG will offer a new contract, which will be a solution for both parties. I'm pretty sure Mbappe is also very aware of what will happen if he doesn't want to extend his contract. maybe, PSG won't give him a lot of playing time.
In another scenario, Madrid enters and brings Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu at a price that is relatively mutually agreeable. thus, PSG will not need to issue the huge bonus that Mbappe agreed to in their contract. well, let's see what drama will happen next.

Speaking of PSG, currently PSG is not in order to bring in players with big names. for example, Osimhen. even though it was linked, I'm not sure if the club will pour out funds at a very expensive price. because of that, now their target is Vlahovic. And most likely, if he can join the French giants. other rumors, PSG are also monitoring Harry Kane.
well, this will be very interesting for us to follow. I wonder what Enrique will plan with his squad. but my guess is that PSG and Enrique will target young players, especially for the center forward.
By the way, I don't want to rush to assess PSG for the next season, I mean the strength map of the squad. but what is certain, Enrique will try to rebuild PSG's strength so that his team is more competitive.

I liken Newcastle's season to the one Leicester had in the 2015/16 season. It was hell of a season you know as Leicester became the EPL title winners despite not having expensive players in the team. Maybe Newcastle didn't make it to the league title like Leicester did but this was also an impressive success with an average level squad.

But indeed it is difficult to predict how more left in them to maintain it at least. Therefore this kind of teams need to strengthen their squads more to increase their chance of doing good continually. Because last season wasn't good for some top level teams like Liverpool and Chelsea in the league. Tottenham also couldn't stay in the fight for top 4.

This season could be way more competitive than before depending on the improvement of these teams.

Well I think it is hard to say whether the Newcastle United squad was average or better than that because I didn't really know any players of them. They weren't the big names hat are all over the place, but they could still be great players who were well scouted by the club and then signed.

But although I know what you mean, I think comparing the season of Newcastle to the one that Leicester City played back at the time is still not appropriate. Winning the title as Leicester City was a historic event that will never be forgotten. While I also think that the Newcastle season was great, I would not count it into the same category by far as the Leicester achievement.

[Jody.Drummer]

The coach must be firm, but at the same time the coach must also have a sense of family and nurture his players. It doesn't have to be excessive but at least make the player feel comfortable when working with a coach. Things like this seem simple, but it is precisely that simplicity that makes many ignored, even though when it can be done it will have a very positive impact on all elements of the player.
They must be able to distinguish in what circumstances they must be firm and in what circumstances they must blend in to create a close sense of family within the squad.

what is more certain is about fair policies. I mean if a coach has a wise and fair nature, this can be sympathetic to players to be close and open to the coach about all the weaknesses or strengths of their performance. they exchange ideas with each other to find solutions to be able to strengthen their team.
like Guardiola who has the wise nature of each of his players and he is also good at reading situations to be open to each other's evaluation of improving performance. and the result is perfect for me because Man City is proving to be stronger like last season because of coaches and players who can be solid.

Yes, that's right, and I don't think it's any different from what I was talking about before, and maybe it's just the way we deliver it that's different.
Players will definitely see the figure of a coach, there are players who follow whatever the coach says because they are afraid, some are out of respect. Maybe the result is the same because they will follow what the coach says, but what is different is the end result. Of course players who are afraid will not be better than players who are respectful, I mean a coach does not have to be feared by players, but they have to be a person that players respect.

Manchehster City managed to create chemistry between the players. I was reminded of one of the local clubs in my country, yes they did not get good results when they had a golden squad, but they could actually do something extraordinary when they had a fairly makeshift squad, I saw that because of the chemistry they created.

[FanEagle]

It's not really that shocking to anyone that City would probably be high up there anyway, I mean they have been playing with an insane roster for a while now and they are going to probably repeat what they have done again. Think about how much of an achievement a treble is, Real Madrid won it three times in a row and never had treble, that's what I read on twitter everyday by City fans.

So all in all, I am expecting that there is going to be a big expectations from them to do it again. They locked premier league down, they keep winning that all the time and if De Bruyne and Haaland end up playing well together, then I am going to expect them to do the same thing again. Lets hope that it doesn't get to that and it gets to a greater point.

But if they can get more than that, I think that's more worthy of being called a surprise.

For me personally, if Newcastle doesn't have many new recruits in this transfer market, then it doesn't look like Newcastle has a good chance of going further. But yes, if in this transfer market Newcastle manages to bring in new players which of course are accompanied by good skills and potential, then this could give Newcastle a better chance of getting to the round of 16 and or maybe even getting to the quarter-finals. But as a team that has been consistent for two consecutive seasons in the Premiere League, then at least Newcastle getting a Champions League ticket is already a success for them at this moment.

PSG is certainly going to offer Mbappé a contract extension. I actually do not know if they already have offered him a contract extension. I actually believe that they have but Mbappé did not accept. They are actually aiming to sell him right now. Otherwise, they are going to lose him as a free agent. They certainly do not want that in my opinion. I believe it is the right moment for them to sell him and bring in another player. The problem is any player which they are going to try to bring in, will obviously be pursued by other clubs. That is going to make their job a lot harder. At least it is going to be harder for them to bring in the players that they actually want.

For me personally, if Newcastle doesn't have many new recruits in this transfer market, then it doesn't look like Newcastle has a good chance of going further. But yes, if in this transfer market Newcastle manages to bring in new players which of course are accompanied by good skills and potential, then this could give Newcastle a better chance of getting to the round of 16 and or maybe even getting to the quarter-finals. But as a team that has been consistent for two consecutive seasons in the Premiere League, then at least Newcastle getting a Champions League ticket is already a success for them at this moment.

I believe they will pass the group stages which should be their minimum objective for the Champions League.If they go further they can take every game step by step but having high expectations while they are coming back after more than two decades without participating in it,I believe last time they participated was when Alan Shearer the great attacker of the team brought them here so they should not have any big expectations out of this campaign.

As long as they keep the group which kept them in the top 4 of the Premier League chances are high for them to go much further than just the group stages but let's wait and see how it goes.
