UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[tusandii]

RIP for Copenhagen... They will be destroyed hard by Manchester City most probably in both games of the matchup. Galatasaray fans must be the ones who are delighted with this matchup the most I assume.    De Bruyne and Haaland both would be on the pitch as well unless they get injured again before the games.

Having both of these players on the pitch means a much more comfortable win for Manchester City. De Bruyne is like the brain of this squad. Haaland is the top scorer and even more effective with De Bruyne right beside him.

I also heard that De Bruyne and Haaland have recovered and seem ready to appear on the pitch with Manchester City and this is very pleasant news for the fans and I myself am very happy to see that the two key Manchester City players have returned to help strengthen the attack line and won the title as before.
I am very sure that as long as De Bruyne and Haaland are able to maintain their physical condition, everything will be fine, such as only competing in first half or the second half without having to compete fully and this is a way to maintain the quality of performance of these two players.
But in my opinion, Guardiola will not really force these two player to appear immediately but will likely save these two players until the champions League match starts and if that is true I agree with you if Copenhagen is very easily beaten by Manchester City with a bigger score.

You are right, if Arsenal can get at least a draw in their first meeting then their chances become bigger, because in the second meeting they will play the match with home status, of course it is a very good opportunity for them.
But Porto is not a club that can be conquered easily, their presence in this round shows that they can indeed compete. In the group stage they also did not disappoint because they could collect 12 points from the 6 matches played, actually it was the same points that Barcelona had, but they lost in goal productivity so that only put them in 2nd place.
Arsenal are also in an unhappy state for sure, as they failed to win in their last match in the domestic league and kept them in 2nd place.

That's why, because Porto is not an easy team to beat, Arteta will prepare his squad to play the match with very high performance. moreover, this match will be held at the Estadio do Dragao, the home of Porto. if they are able to steal full points at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's headquarters, the Gunners players will be happy to do their job very well. so, I'm quite sure that Arteta is not aiming for a draw in the first leg. theoretically, Arsenal will continue to use an offensive playing pattern. thus, it is certain that this match will be quite fierce. the problem is, the Gunners' young squad will be tested in this match. will Arsenal be able to overcome the obstacles when they visit Porto's headquarters, or will Arsenal experience the same thing as when competing at Lens' headquarters.

On the other hand, as the home team, Porto will not let Arsenal steal full points at home, that's why Sergio Conceicao will prepare his team's squad to fight with good performance when they face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League. the opportunity to play in front of their own supporters in the first leg, Conceicao's squad will do their job by doing their job very well. but if we refer to what the betting bookies are providing for the time being, Arsenal is superior to the home team. however, these odds are only temporary. ahead of the match, it's likely that will change. unless Arsenal experiences problems or is otherwise in a positive trend.

Talking about Arsenal in the Domestic League competition, I think we still have lots of opportunities to remain competitive. after all, there are still a lot of games remaining until the end of the season. well, let's just wait before the Porto vs Arsenal match.

[borovichok]

Exactly. Arsenal needs to improve its attack. Seriously, it's getting weaker, and as you said, they need to use every single opportunity that will come their way to score a goal. Currently, I think that is the position that Arsenal needs to strengthen more in their squad. Although other squads also need some reinforcements, I think the main weak position in the squad is the attacking position. The attacking position doesn’t get as strong as it is, but I think the round 16 matches will be tough, so I hope before then they will try and get someone to strengthen the attacking position so that they will do more than they did before.

Any elite club that made it to the round of 16, a sign that these clubs have 50/50 chances of either qualifying for next phase or getting eliminated at the end of the competition. Weaker clubs merely exists in UCL to dash out good points to the competitive elite clubs. The attacking positions paved by Arsenal is brilliant, they're on the next level of upgrading to new edge. Arsenal are balance when it comes to performance, they are still in the UEFA Champions League and that's one of the trending facts concerning Gunners. Mikel Arteta and his players are giving in their very best to secure good points.

It's not really weak like you said above. Given that Napoli was competing against a team as strong as Real Madrid, it would be inappropriate to criticize their performance as weak. I have opposite opinion about that and it feels like napoli is declining after it has done all of matches in the group stage and qualify for the next stage. Napoli is not as good as last season but it can still compete to face barcelona soon. To put all of the players into the defensive line, the only thing that needs to be done by Mazzarri is to make the necessary adjustments. The club shall take counter attack as opportunity to beat barcelona.
Barcelona was a club that is focus into how to build more ball possession. If Napoli focuses on playing with a strong defensive strategy against Barcelona and utilizes effective parking of the bus, they can significantly increase their chances of beating them easily. Napoli's group considerably placed at the medium group.
It has real madrid as the main competitior and do you forget that if barcelona got easy group compared to the napoli? The way to beat barcelona to go through the fully defensive line like parking bus strategy.
It will be making barceloan frustrated with it. Barcelona is going to lose its concentration when the club was always trying to pressuring napoli.

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.

If we talk about the perfect club we will never find one like that, maybe they never lose but they still draw. So far I've noted Leverkusen who can do that but they also still draw, yes even though they never lose. In football a draw will still count as an unsatisfactory result.
All with their own advantages and disadvantages, every time 2 clubs meet, they will always look for gaps where their opponent's weaknesses lie and if they can be utilized properly they will be able to win the match.
But other factors also sometimes affect the outcome of matches, one prominent example is luck. No matter how strong and how many chances a club can create, they won't be able to score if they are unlucky in the match.

I really agree with your last point, without luck a team may not win the match. Luck is part of the game, but good performance and creating a lot of chances allows a team to increase its chances of winning a match. In the Champions League, there are only 3 teams this season that have never dropped points until they qualify for the round of 16. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the 3 teams I mean, in fact I am sure they will maintain that record to qualify for the quarter-finals.

In the round of 16, we will probably easily determine favorites in many matches. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City are favorites in their respective matches, while Arsenal, Inter and Barcelona are also worthy favorites. PSG and Dortmund are also favorites, but I tend to think that the first 3 teams I mentioned have a good chance of securing a ticket to the quarter-finals.

I don't really count Barcelona as a worthy favorites @BITCOIN4X. I mean look at them, struggling very hard right now. Currently in the 4th position in La Liga and recently they barely won a game against Almeria which is the bottom team in La Liga right now. If you had to ask me, I would agree with the teams that you have selected as favorites. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Manchester City are looking good although Manchester City has recently been struggling but I think that is due to the injury of some key players and they will come back very easily.

As for the worthy favorites, I would include Inter Milan, Arsenal, PSG and Dortmund. PSG and Dortmund lack that class and that is what is stopping them from becoming the favorites. Arsenal on the other hand are doing very well for the first time in UCL after a lot of seasons so there are chances that they might win it. Inter Milan are also looking good in their own league as well. We just have to wait for February to see what happens.

[beerlover]

Porto was of strong team. Even though we are rarely seeing the performance of porto in its domestic league but it's still competing for the top place in the portugal league. Arsenal shall never try to underestimate its opponent. It can make the players become over confidence and they will be starting to bottling the important match against porto. This is the bad habit owner by arsenal as it was always failing to go to the further stage of UCL. Arteta shall also aware if this is the main problem that needs to be solved.
He needs to push his player to perform even better compared to the previous game. Arsenal was getting easy team in the group stage but this time is kinda different. It's not facing a weak team. Arsenal needs to be careful if the team is willing to win the game.
Im not counting on arsenal caused by porto and arsenal are same strong. Neither of them will be dominating the game soon.

Historically they are definitely a great team there is nothing wrong with saying that, but to say that they are still a strong team, specially in the context of UCL, is not really fair. There are teams willing to spend more than 10x what Porto could ever spend, so it is not really fair to say that they are good, nor it's fair to say they are "bad", they are as good as they can get with their financial situation.

A premier league club would make more from finishing 10th than the winner if Portugal league, so it is normal for Porto to be not that great as a UCL winner type of team, but they are doing the very best they can with the financial situation that they are in. I believe that they will continue to get better and better.

Exactly. Arsenal needs to improve its attack. Seriously, it's getting weaker, and as you said, they need to use every single opportunity that will come their way to score a goal. Currently, I think that is the position that Arsenal needs to strengthen more in their squad. Although other squads also need some reinforcements, I think the main weak position in the squad is the attacking position. The attacking position doesn’t get as strong as it is, but I think the round 16 matches will be tough, so I hope before then they will try and get someone to strengthen the attacking position so that they will do more than they did before.

The fans have hope that there club will clinch on good records this season, no matter how they flop, good records will always be obtainable. Mikel Arteta will be held responsible for any significant changes that does happen in the club, be it positive or negative. The attacking positions is active but it do have slight issues, no club will become too easy for Gunners to handle, because in the first place, they lack the necessary qualities of an elite club in UCL football. Arsenal are growing weaker in matches regarding EPL and that's not a good thing that should happen to them.

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.

As of 3 weeks ago before the round of 16 was drawn, Napoli was conquering teams in Seria A, it was one of their best recovery I have seen this season but I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or perhaps normal football thing but they have not impress me since then, I was even among the few in supports that their current form will smark ace Barcelona with their feast but I'm beginning to change my support on that, just to be at a safer side a single match bet might give high odds to bet but not a good option because Napoli is not as strong to beat Barcelona without going through a lot.

Napoli barely even keep to their domestic league, I'm skeptical where they intend to bring that level of form to match up with Barcelona, they are not up to standard in my record but who knows what will happen before now and February. Between now and February 21 of next year has about 6 weeks or even more and it's possible that within this space, they will improve their ways and possibly come to atleast 5th or among the top 4 and then I will reconsider my opinion about their future of the Champions League.

[Oluwa-btc]

I also heard that De Bruyne and Haaland have recovered and seem ready to appear on the pitch with Manchester City and this is very pleasant news for the fans and I myself am very happy to see that the two key Manchester City players have returned to help strengthen the attack line and won the title as before.
I am very sure that as long as De Bruyne and Haaland are able to maintain their physical condition, everything will be fine, such as only competing in first half or the second half without having to compete fully and this is a way to maintain the quality of performance of these two players.
But in my opinion, Guardiola will not really force these two player to appear immediately but will likely save these two players until the champions League match starts and if that is true I agree with you if Copenhagen is very easily beaten by Manchester City with a bigger score.

This news is valid and accurate, Pep Guardiola said something like this during his Pres conference. They're tow players with a mad combination and understanding, having them both back will be key to the top if they really work had for it. Liverpool will not last at the top because they will fave tough Competition from the Europa League Competition. Arsenal are bottlers but I honestly want them to win at all cost they deserve it.

Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne would both be back mid January so that they will be fit enough to face and play in the Champions League.
Kevin De Bruyne gets that kind of Injury and he should be dismissed or sold out because it'll result to reduction of his value in the transfer window.

[Asiska02]

RIP for Copenhagen... They will be destroyed hard by Manchester City most probably in both games of the matchup. Galatasaray fans must be the ones who are delighted with this matchup the most I assume.    De Bruyne and Haaland both would be on the pitch as well unless they get injured again before the games.

Having both of these players on the pitch means a much more comfortable win for Manchester City. De Bruyne is like the brain of this squad. Haaland is the top scorer and even more effective with De Bruyne right beside him.

Hmm, you sound so confidence that Manchester City are going to brutally win this match without any doubt of them losing in any of the two leg matches. Manchester City are the favourites in this game and everyone will bet on them to win the game easily when they meet in the round of 16 next year. If Galatasaray fans are more delighted of this matchup, they should also read all that they would have been the ones to be playing with Manchester City if they’d qualified for the round of 16.

Copenhagen put in a lot of good performance in their group stage matches, they were able to win Manchester United and also draw one of their matches with Bayern Munich. I am not going to look down on this team too much in their round of 16 games with Manchester City. Manchester City still remains the favourite to win this game but I am doubting if it will be that easy for them to prevail against them without Copenhagen given them a tough time in the game especially the one that will be played in their home.

They can't be saying no matter how much they flopp they will still be able to clinch a good record this season because in the end, the results gotten by the end of the season is what matters the most as no one would really want to talk about how well they have performed if there's no results to show for it at the end of the season.

The attacking position of the gunners looks very active but they need a good strike force and this January transfer windows is an opportunity for them to fix that if not it will affect their results in the champions league because the champions league at this point is going to be thougher than it was at the group stage but they can still get to the finals if only they work on their lapsis at this point just before the commencement of the next stage of the champions league again.

Any elite club that made it to the round of 16, a sign that these clubs have 50/50 chances of either qualifying for next phase or getting eliminated at the end of the competition.

No, some teams have a greater chance of qualifying for the next round if you really do the analysis. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and PSG have a greater than 50% probability of qualifying for the next round compared to their opponents, so a 50:50 chance does not exist for every team to qualify for the round of 16 this season.

Weaker clubs merely exists in UCL to dash out good points to the competitive elite clubs. The attacking positions paved by Arsenal is brilliant, they're on the next level of upgrading to new edge. Arsenal are balance when it comes to performance, they are still in the UEFA Champions League and that's one of the trending facts concerning Gunners. Mikel Arteta and his players are giving in their very best to secure good points.

Many of the last 16 matches have not been very exciting as it is too easy to find favorites in many of them, but surprises can always be expected in some matches such as Barcelona and Napoli as well as PSG and Real Sociedad. Inter vs Atletico Madrid is one of the most interesting, but Barcelona vs Napoli is also good enough to be considered a great match.

Apart from that, I don't think the favorites are really challenged this season in the round of 16. Real Madrid is very superior to Leipziga, Manchester City is superior to Copenhagen, while Bayern Munich is also the same.

Manchester City look threatening without these players and will certainly beat Copenhagen, they are not a team that can pose a threat to such a club, and let's not forget that they are the reigning Champions League winners who are surely aiming to win the trophy for the second time in a row

There is really no team at the moment that is playing a perfect season. Real Madrid is strong, Manchester City isn't playing perfectly, Bayern Munich had some problems during the group stage in some games and there is no team in my opinion that looks so dominant at the moment that it has a unique favorite role in the Champions League. Arsenal has had some bad results despite playing quite well, but that doesn't mean a lot for the Champions League I believe. But Porto should be an opponent that Arsenal can handle. The coming weeks are important for them and there is also the FA Cup game against Liverpool next week.

If we talk about the perfect club we will never find one like that, maybe they never lose but they still draw. So far I've noted Leverkusen who can do that but they also still draw, yes even though they never lose. In football a draw will still count as an unsatisfactory result.
All with their own advantages and disadvantages, every time 2 clubs meet, they will always look for gaps where their opponent's weaknesses lie and if they can be utilized properly they will be able to win the match.
But other factors also sometimes affect the outcome of matches, one prominent example is luck. No matter how strong and how many chances a club can create, they won't be able to score if they are unlucky in the match.

Sure, just take a stupid but unintended foul in the first ten minutes as an example when a player gets a red card or a goalkeeper gets sent off. Even for a team that plays a "perfect" season, this can turn things against them within a blink of an eye. That is why I agree with you and if there was such a thing as a perfect team that never loses a game, not even because of being out of luck, we could switch off the TVs and not watch the games anymore. We can be thankful that there is no perfection because the imperfections are what make the game exciting for us. The small guys can beat the big guys and that is how it should be.

[shogun47]

It would not be the first time that Bayern Munich gets knocked out by a huge underdog. It is 1.5 years ago when Bayern Munich was playing against Villareal and everyone thought that this would be the easiest game ever for the Bavarians. But they lost the first game in the quarterfinals 1-0 and then they tied the second leg although it was a home game. If I had to compare Lazio and Villareal, I would say that they are about similar strength and Bayern should be warned exactly because of the experience they have made with Villareal

Of course, you have to be careful about this because the team that is not the favorite can cause big difficulties for the team that is the favorite. I think Lazio cannot be considered weak because they performed quite well in the Champions League and they also have some quality players in their team. At least Tuchel must be able to pressure his players to score early to bring down his opponent's mentality.
But Bayern Munich are unbeaten in the Champions League this season so I think they are quite consistent in every match they play. Harry Kane is quite dangerous in front of the opponent's goal because he is very good at finding gaps to score goals, so if Lazio is able to stop Harry Kane movements, maybe Lazio will be able to give us a surprise.

Yes I know if we only look at the teams player by player and their standings in the table in the domestic league and then also at their performances thus far in the Champions League group stage, I think the role allocation is obvious for this game. Bayern Munich is by far the favorite to win this round and they are essentially forced to win this round as they have all the pressure, whereas nobody expects Lazio to have a chance and my take is that maybe it is the fact that Lazio is supposed to have no chance, that they actually have a chance. They have nothing to lose when they face Bayern Munich and sometimes that can be quite freeing.

[rendravolt]

The round of 16 match between Real Sociedad and PSG is one that should not be missed and here Real Sociedad gets the advantage of playing as the away team in the first leg. Surely everyone already knows PSG's strength and there are certainly many who favor PSG to win, but what if Real Sociedad manages to beat PSG with a fairly landslide score? And won't it be that in the second leg PSG will have great difficulty reversing the aggregate difference, especially since it takes place at home to Real Sociedad for the second leg.

Real Sociedad is still a fairly consistent team this season and in the domestic league they are still in a pretty good place rather than being out of the top 10 in the standings. So their chances or performance will still remain the same and this is the first meeting between Real Sociedad vs PSG because history records that there have been no meetings at all for these two teams on the Champions League stage.

This is not a club that will trouble PSG and Luis Enrique. I know how consistent they have been from last season at least to an extent. League 1 defending Champions should win this game if you ask me. They might have had a rough start but I'm very sure Luis Enrique would win. He had special players to help him win against them though during his Barcelona days, I'm hoping he could do same, even if hoping is such a dangerous thing to do.

I'm more concerned on whoever they meet next, that wi be the most challenging test for Luis Enrique with how far he can successfully lead the club at least to the finals during his first managerial position as head coach of the great club. I want to see how he manages these lads without the special players he had at FC Barcelona.

So this is about the achievement that Luis Enrique wants to make? well let's see what Luis Enrique can achieve as PSG coach in his first season. Maybe this will not be as easy as the glorious era of Barcelona that he coached because it is clear that the quality and depth of the squad they have is different. With PSG, maybe Luis Enrique will only be stuck in reaching the semifinals and even then he still needs a deeper push so that he can achieve that and if in the end they can only reach the limit until they reach the quarterfinals, that will be enough of a good record.

I think it's quite far compared to what Luis Enrique had in 2014 at Barcelona and this year at PSG, and most of the time there are no mature players in the current PSG squad and they are just good players without much experience in this competition. So I think it's very lacking if you have to reach the final round, it's impossible.

Kevin De Bruyne gets that kind of Injury and he should be dismissed or sold out because it'll result to reduction of his value in the transfer window.

Yes, it is true that it is very likely that these two players will return next month, but even though it is still a long time away, it seems like Manchester City is still performing quite well because there are still Rodri and Alvarez who scored the 2 winning goals for manchester City yesterday, their performance is still quite good.
I don't know if what I think is true or not, the 3 clubs that are at the top of the points table will slowly be shifted again by the MC because we'll see how consistent these 3 clubs are, it's very bad, like they're not worthy of leading the Premier League and it seems like what you're saying is true if Manchester City will soon recover and dominate the Premier League again.
For De Bruyne, it seems that if he still performing well at MC there no need to sell him because we don't know how his performance will be yet, but if after this his performance really declines, he will definitely be sold soon, but I am sure he will go to saudi Arabia.

The attacking position of the gunners looks very active but they need a good strike force and this January transfer windows is an opportunity for them to fix that if not it will affect their results in the champions league because the champions league at this point is going to be thougher than it was at the group stage but they can still get to the finals if only they work on their lapsis at this point just before the commencement of the next stage of the champions league again.

If you look at it statistically, the opportunity between Porto and Arsenal are still 50 50 because Porto cannot be underestimated, he is playing well in the domestic league, just like Arsenal is also performing well in the Premier League. But unfortunately Arsenal has experienced a unsatisfactory results recently, but I think Mikel Arteta already understands the team mistakes were the lack of a sharp attack line and a back line that was not good at maintaining the defense. So that it was easy for the opposing team to read to break into Arsenal defense.

Yes Arsenal need a more productive striker from now on and Mikel Arteta should have thought about this to recruit new players in the transfer market to strengthen the team performance, I thinks if Arsenal can be better than now it is possible that he can still qualify for the next round and beat Porto.

Every team in the Champions League knockout round is strong. Every team has proved their ability in the group stage matches. So there is no opportunity to underestimate any team here.
Considering the squad, Arsenal team can be put ahead of Porto. Premier League teams are always considered favourites. However, there is no chance of underestimating the Porto team either. Porto's players have the ability to beat Arsenal.
Although Porto may not be at the top of the table in Liga Portugal, their performance is quite strong. The defense of this team is also strong. Breaking down Porto's defense will be challenging for Arsenal's players. So it seems that both the teams have equal chances to win this match.

But unfortunately Arsenal has experienced a unsatisfactory results recently, but I think Mikel Arteta already understands the team mistakes were the lack of a sharp attack line and a back line that was not good at maintaining the defense. So that it was easy for the opposing team to read to break into Arsenal defense.

Yes Arsenal need a more productive striker from now on and Mikel Arteta should have thought about this to recruit new players in the transfer market to strengthen the team performance, I thinks if Arsenal can be better than now it is possible that he can still qualify for the next round and beat Porto.

Recently, Arsenal have sometimes been unable to maintain consistency and perhaps Porto can take advantage of this to make it possible for them to beat Arsenal because if you look at the strength of these two teams, of course Arenal is much stronger than Porto.
We cannot just look at the performance or results of the two teams in their domestic league because these two teams have significant differences in competition in their domestic league.

I think the players Arsenal have are quite capable in all their lines and they just need to maintain consistency.
I see that Arsenal players in all lines have quite capable strengths, and if we talk about the performance of Aarsnal's forwards, actually they are good, it's just that they can't maintain their best performance in every match.
