UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[BRINIRHA]

But I think Barcelona was lucky during this season of the Champions League because we know they are not in their best form and this Barcelona we currently see can definitely lose games easily against other teams. While Barcelona is also not in the form to face with stronger teams, however Napoli has players like Osimhen as you just said and since Barcelona's defenders are weak this can be dangerous.

The UEFA Champions League have become very competitive and there's presence of good fights between these elite clubs, I've spent most of my time making emphasis on these elite teams, ensuring to know the weakness and active stand of my club. La Liga club, Real Madrid and Barcelona are in for the round of 16 and I'm certainly sure Real Madrid will move to the next phase with ease actions while I'm pretty sure it won't be an easy race for the Catalans. Barcelona was not lucky, rather they worked their path through becoming one of the best competitive club in their UCL Group stage. Xavi Hernandez gathered his players and have instructed on the hugh tasks ahead of them.

I also believe that Real Madrid will go further and get through the round of 16 quite well. But regarding Barcelona I'm not sure yet. Because Barcelona does have several weaknesses and their consistency is also not very good. Player injuries also still haunt the Barcelona squad. Meanwhile, Napoli, who will be Barcelona's opponents, are actually not in their best condition this season. After Napoli left their coach last season, Spalletti. Then Garcia came and was considered a failure. And now Mazzarri has come but hasn't produced good results. Yes, there are also many doubts about the current Napoli squad. So the Barcelona vs Napoli match is very difficult for us to predict. Both have a 50:50 chance of qualifying for the next stage. But I feel that Barcelona will probably recover in the second half of the season. Their injured players will recover soon. So when the round of 16 starts, Barcelona will definitely be ready with their best performance.

Napoli are currently still inconsistent. But it doesn't rule out the possibility that Napoli will be better when the round of 16 starts. Yes, this will be an exciting match but also difficult to predict. But it will definitely be a very fun fight to watch. Unfortunately it's still a long time away. And we have to wait for that.

If Napoli can return to their best performance when facing Barcelona, it will be a more interesting match. The current situation may be unpredictable but looking at Napoli's game, more people favor Barcelona to qualify.
The division in the last 16 of the UCL this season is very interesting. There are no favorite teams to meet at the start, maybe only Inter and Atletico. but others may have better chances.
All the teams in the top 16 are strong, but it all depends on the team's condition and readiness for the next match. we will look forward to the big teams meeting in the top 8.

Barcelona wasn't in their good form, but it's a big joke if they're lose against Shakhtar Donetsk and Royal Antwerp because both of them are in different level. If Manchester United was in this group, I believe Manchester United will able to qualify for knockout stage.

Either Barcelona or Napoli win the match, their next match is against Arsenal which I think they would lose.

[asriloni]

I'm not much positive about Barcelona's chance to eliminate Napoli honestly. Because their game is just not good enough. I believe that they haven't faced a real challenge yet. Porto were the second strongest team in the group but Barcelona won against them twice anyway. But I think Napoli are a bigger challenge than Porto for them.

Napoli have a stronger squad in the first place. They have a very dangerous player like Osimhen in their offense line. They are just trying to improve their form lately. But until this matchup I think Napoli will be in a better shape than now. If Barcelona don't make improvement at the same time then they can really say goodbye to the CL early.

Barcelona will never go to their prime again. Time flies and everything is changing right now. The financial trouble has prevented barcelona to build the good clubs. It will always be like that. The only solution to sell barcelona to the big investors. Barcelona shall consider it as the only option owned by the club right now. Im not willing to argue that but in fact, barcelona is still in the very big crisis right now. Xavi is going to face another problem caused by he will have very limited budget to build the team. There will be some players to leave from barcelona.

Laporta is also having the same problem as he has no club what shall be doing to save the club. Xasvi needs to think even more than before. There will be revamp to happen in barcelona soon and he needs to prepare everything to make sure barcelona will not be losing its position.

Barcelona must let some players go out due to the financial pressure for the club. The club can't sign new players if there will be no a lot of players to go out.

I really like the division of the teams for the top 16 this season. Because at least we have to see a team that is considered weak to face a strong team. Although, several strong teams have to meet in this round. But most of the favorite teams and non-favorite teams will meet more often in the round of 16 this time. And I think this is fairer.

Well, because the round of 16 is still a long way off, of course it is still difficult for us to predict it from now on. And it is natural that more people think Barcelona has a greater chance of qualifying for the next stage. Because actually the depth of Barcelona's squad is far superior to the depth of Napoli's squad. But the unique thing about Italian clubs is that they are like clubs that produce star players. They bring in ordinary players but then these ordinary players will turn into football stars. An example is Osimhe himself. His reputation continues to increase in Napoli.

Many members of the squad are failing to meet expectations this season and it has harmed the chances of the club including the UCL. The defense is the one that suffers the most. All clubs that are matched with Barcelona can score goals.

It was a big joke when Barcelona lost to Shakhtar Donetsk and Royal Antwerp. Anyhow, it further demonstrated how disarray Barcelona is when the only winless club in La Liga caused a stir and almost pulled off an upset, but ultimately lost by 3-2. Napoli renewed its services with Osimhen, the club is also facing its own problems, but this match is almost even.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I understand your criticism of Barcelona's performance. It has been kind of a rollercoaster, to be honest. Although they may not be as strong as they formerly were, I wouldn't write them off just yet. They haven't had a great UCL run, but luck isn't everything. Do you recall a few years ago when Chelsea won the Champions League? Nor were they the favourites. It all comes down to grasping oportunities. When Barcelona plays Napoli in the knockout stage, well, that's a break. It's an even playing field because neither team is precisely playing at their best. Barcelona has a good chance if they strenthen their defence. But let's face it, this will be a difficult game if their defence plays poorly. It all depends on how they perform that day.

Xavi Hernandez will be blamed if Barcelonw failed to win any major title this season, however the coach is looking forward to make new signings in the January transfer window and that have remained his initial plans to becoming more successful. The Champions League Barcelona found themselves, they will be eliminated if they don't take good time to measure the threats that will be posing from Napoli in the round of 16. Barcelona performance have been underrated because they lack the necessary qualities to continue pushing forward for good games and earning accumulated points.

Yeah the fans will be blaming xavi caused by that. I meant there will be a lot of people are going to realize that if xavi is still having a lot of unsolved problems. The major problem is about the financial condition of barcelona. The fans didn't even care about that caused by they do know that if xavi has ability to do that. Barcelona is still struggling right now but the fans would be calling it as xavi's responsibility to help barcelona to get the trophy this season. The club paid you to work and get the trophy.

Xavi can only focus on how to do that instead of giving useless complaint about that. It's caused by the club has paid him to help barcelona to get the trophy.
So, any fans are expecting him to get at least one trophy for this season with barcelona. Unless, the fans will be blaming him if xavi will fail to do that. We do know that how barbaric the fans these days. It's not all but i have seen that a lot of fans were not listening the reason first.

Likely Napoli won't eliminated early in Champion League and they want get back top performance, have 7 matches later before facing Barcelona in Champion League will be chance for Napoli get back their top performance. Barcelona performance not really quit well and they faced much problem exactly with key players injured will make difficult for preparing teams against Napoli on 16 phase next two months later.
Interested match between Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid because both teams on good performance, Inter managed top position but sadly have to face strong team on 16 round because loss from Real Sociedad to manage top position, its not easy for Inter although on first standings in domestic league against Atletico Madrid have victory trend in last several matches.

I think it's really difficult, Napoli is facing a really deep crisis
A team of the quality of Napoli that loses against a small team like Frosinone by scoring 4 goals, I think it's hard for them to rise again this year
The only thing he can do is limit the damage

Are you sure that the winner of the Napoli - Barcelona matchup will have a draw against the winner of the Porto - Arsenal matchup? Because I can't find any information related to the quarter final draw now. Maybe we might have a brand new draw for that stage. But if this really happens then I also think Arsenal will eliminate Porto first and then do the same for their next opponent as well.

I'm saying this no matter which one is their opponent. Because Arsenal are currently more powerful than both of Napoli and Barcelona. But when it comes to making a comment on which one of them to advance to the quarter finals I'm closer to Napoli for now.

Defense will be the most important concern for Barcelona in the Champions League this season and before the last 16 match begins, they must improve to strengthen their defense. Barcelona often concede goals and we can't really blame them because there are times when big teams experience a decline in performance. We also have to take into account other important factors, such as players who are injured, and if I'm not mistaken, in that match Ter Stegen was still absent due to a back injury and his position was still filled by the second tier goalkeeper, Inaki Pena. In the domestic league, there is almost no difference because Barcelona often lose points and here Ter Stegen's absence is really felt by the goalkeeper line. But it seems that before the last 16 match starts, Ter Stegen will definitely recover and be able to guard Barcelona's goal again so that they don't concede easily.

Napoli are not really good this year,they did their best last year,but have been in a very poor form this year because some of their players left,and also because they feel they have achieve all they wanted to achieve.Their champions league games is what they want to take serious because they have the ambition to win it,but I know that is going to be impossible because they aren't better than most of the teams in the champions league,a team like Madrid,Arsenal,Mancity,Bayern are teams they can't win because they are the teams that have the better chances of claiming the tittle.I really can't wait for the champions league games to start.

It must be on all of the sectors. I meant that barcelona has lost gavi and there will be more players to leave soon. I expect pedri and lewandowski to leave during the summer transfer season and this is going to affect the performance of the players.
It's hard to think that if barcelona will only focus on to how to make the defense to be even stronger than before. The club needs to get new players to fix all the sectors. The only question is now where did xavi get that big amount of money to make it happen? using academic players are not possible caused by they lack of experience. The possible thing for Barcelona is to search for the cheap, talented player available in the market. This is the main solution that can help barcelona to leave from this problem.
barcelona has no power when it comes to the money caused by the club is still having very big unpaid debt include its interest. So, i expect barcelona to revamp its club when some important players will leave from there.

Cancelo, pedri, felix, lewandowski and many more will leave soon. i don't even see possible solution other than it. Xavi needs to consider it as alternative solution but this may become the onley way.

[tbterryboy]

I think the most competitive matchup is likely to be Inter - Atletico Madrid. Because I believe these two teams are really close to each other in strength now. Inter are one of the last finalists in the Champions League which is an important detail to mention. They are pretty good this season also. But they won't probably find the same Atletico Madrid from the last season in this competition.

Atletico Madrid have made a really good progress after poor performances in the Champions League like two seasons in a row. 

They are definitely promising for this matchup too. Inter will need to perform much better than they did in the group stage if they want to eliminate them. Martinez will be the key player.

This is one of the toughest matches in this round with both teams are having enough quality to fight and go through for the next round even Inter Milan is much better and having enough performance into their last matches, but Atlético Madrid is also currently at the top of their performance with having third spot in La Liga and their consistency and defense is also giving them best results here any prediction is not easy about who is going for the next round with this can be anybody game.

In this season we have much improved performance from the both sides and Inter Milan which is also last season's finalist wants to have something better in this season surely will give his best, but things are never been easy due to best quality and performance of the Atlético Madrid which is also now having good chance for the staying at the top of the all leagues due to good performance.

Disappointin results from the games against Shakhtar Donetsk and Antwerp. The most embarrassing was Antwerp because I've seen Shakhtar Donetsk also defeating Real Madrid during one of them group stage games from last season if not the previous season Champions League group stage.

Manchester United are suckers, you can put a billion bucks on ema and heck, they'll fucking lose the game. Copenhagen and Galatasaray are also smaller clubs to beat, what's up with em?

Arsenal in the Champions League is nothing special, they'll get to the finals and you can put a billion bucks on em to lose. They're not big sides in the Champions League. Barcelona would definitely knock knock them out if they meet.

[ancafe]

Agree, in fact I think La Liga clubs are full of surprises, that's why now La Liga representatives in the last 16 of the UCL are dominating, which indicates that La Liga clubs have a pretty troublesome game mentality. Successfully becoming group champions for Real Sociedad is an extraordinary achievement at the start of its journey. If I were Enrique then there would be no reason not to underestimate Real Sociedad, even though in the Domestic League they are ranked 6th in the standings, that doesn't mean PSG can easily beat this club. In my opinion, on the contrary Real Sociedad could be PSG nightmare to advance further in the Champions League.

That's why PSG must be quite alert when facing Real Sociedad because they could provide something unexpected. Becoming group champion by successfully dominating several competitors is not an easy job because Real Sociedad faced a much stronger team in the group phase. Luis Enrique had to try to improve his defensive line if he wanted to progress to the next round and they couldn't provide space for Real Sociedad players to attack.

If there is a quick goal in the match then everything can change because the tension of the match will become sharper. Luckily, PSG is the favorite to play at home, so there are many things that will benefit when Luis Enrique can prepare everything well.

It crossed my mind, maybe if Man United were in this group then they would qualify for the round of 16. It must be admitted that Barcelona has been very disappointing recently with its performance.

Either Barcelona or Napoli win the match, their next match is against Arsenal which I think they would lose.

I look at Barcelona's recent performance, it feels like any team can provide good competition. However, both teams have almost two months to play the first leg. I think both teams can prepare their respective strengths until then.

I also think Napoli is a blessing in disguise. Because Barcelona plays best when they face their opponents seriously. Maybe Barcelona's current preparation is a finishing problem that needs to be fixed to make it better. If Barcelona can maintain overall team fitness and be more ruthless in front of goal, Barcelona can perform well in the UCL.

The match between Barca and Napoli is still very difficult to predict since the match day is far. A lot of changes might happen in the performance of both clubs before the match day and this is why I wouldn't give my own prediction on the match because we cannot look into the future.

It is a week or two weeks close to the match day that we can use their current performance at that time to predict who will win the match. However both clubs are not in their best forms as they are having some difficulties of winning matches recently and that is also something to consider. If we will be talking about quality and experience in the champions league, I think that Barca has it more than Napoli, but I can't use that to judge because this is a new season.

[wiss19]

Although Real Madrid's attacking players have been inconsistent in their performances, Bellingham's excellent performances have led Real Madrid to great results in the Champions League. Bellingham has 4 goals and 3 assists in 5 games. If Bellingham can play well against Leipzig, Madrid will have more chances to win. But it is very difficult to beat a strong team like Leipzig depending on Bellingham's performance alone. I am just looking forward to see a competitive match. I will refrain myself from betting on this match.

I don't think Leipzig can compete with Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League because they are not in good shape like Madrid, and you know Real Madrid has experienced players in the team and a talented coach Ancelotti, and I am very sure Real Madrid will not surfer against Leipzig in the competition because last season Real Madrid played in the same group as Leipzig and defeated and topped the group table, and I still believe Real Madrid will win them and qualify. Only Bayern Munich and Manchester City that can try and defeat real madrid if they join them in the round 8 in the Champions League, because is only them that have many experience players that can compete with Real Madrid.

RB Leipzig is doing good in last few years and in every season we have good improvement from them in Bundesliga and here in Champions League as well but still they need long way to go for having better results in high tempo games with Real Madrid is surely one of the best team in UEFA for having best results but as we all know Champions League is competition where we have surprises and shocking results, so any prediction is too early but with current states and performance clearly indicating Real Madrid will be having another chance to go through until last four.

With current performance level and quality of teams are indicating we will have four teams into last four these are Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and one team from these Arsenal/Inter Milan but still any changes can happen, or we can have them in quarterfinals as well.

One thing to note is the fact that yes a coach is paid to play a role in every team he manages but sometimes there's always a situation where the coach performs his role rightly but still the team sulks in backwardness and unending defeats. It's pretty unfair that the coach should be held accountable for all the wrongs the general team is involved in.

 Every member of a ten is paid to deliver positively and so when the coach is at fault, he should be proscribed, and when the players are at fault, they also should be dissed. A coach only manages, developing the right strategies but the players are the ones on the pitch to implement the developed strategy. They all have the collective effort of performing well for the team. Either the player, or the coach or both parties can generally be the fault in every unfavorable game outcome.
