UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

Do you think PSG management will want Mbappe to leave PSG on a free transfer after they have invested so much money in Mbappe? PSG management will likely offer Mbappe another deal so that any club that wants to sign Mbappe will pay a huge amount of money.

When Mbappe's contract expires, Mbappe can leave for free. Unless Mbappe extends his contract, PSG can't do anything in this situation. Honestly, I hope Mbappe won't extend his contract, so there will be no more drama between PSG and Mbappe. If Mbappe really has the intention to leave PSG, he won't accept the offer for contract extension.

I know Mbappe can leave PSG when he is out of contract for PSG, and there is nothing PSG can do to stop his transfer to any club he wants to play for. But it is very hard for players like Mbappe to leave for free.

Manchester City will be on a high mood now that most of their players are fully back from injury and more will soon be back in few weeks time since theirs is a short time injury. Now that the round of 16 of the champions league is fast approaching, every team will be looking forward to have a full squad that will give them an edge over their opponents. With the way the group stage matches of the champions league went, no team can be underrated and most of the teams will have equal potential of making it to the quarterfinals. This is no more about team’s success story but about what you can offer in the pitch to get a qualification for your team.

Seriously? That is, Copenhagen has good (not equal but at least tangible) chances against City in a two-game confrontation? I'm sure they have zero chance. Even if by some miracle City gives Copenhagen victory in the first game, then in the return they can easily win 6 - 0 or something in that area. The remaining pairs may be more equal (although there are also clear favorites in most pairs), but I am sure that everything is decided here before entering the field.

I don't think PSG will let Mbappe's contract expire before renewing another one with them because I don't think they will get a better striker like him in the club if he leaves, so I think they will try to deceive him with some money again so he will be confused and renew another contract with them because they believe the club will fail without Mbappe. In my opinion, Mbappe should leave the club if he wants to be carried and earn many rewards. He should leave and find another strong club, even if it is not Real Madrid, although I believe Real Madrid is the finest place for him to go and get everything in need.

I believe  Mbappe will win many trophies with Real Madrid, including the Ballon D'or, if he expects the club and perform well, and I am confident he will do so because Madrid has better midfielders who will contribute very well and provide him with many assists when needed, and look at Vin Jr again, I don't think they will get clubs that can defeat Real Madrid so easily if Mbappe joins the club, and I believe Real Madrid will win more than 14 Champions League .

De Bruyne, Doku, and Haaland are the key players of Man City. When they recover from injury and play again for Man City, they surely will bring significant impact on the squad. I'm sure Man City will be strong again, they will focus on achieving another success in any competition. So, it is interesting to see how Man City performance in the second half of the season.

This trio is of very great importance to Manchester city as a team, their impact at the beginning of the season before their cases of injury was definitely such that can't be forgotten in a hurry and of course their absence is definitely felt at some point as the season has progressed so far.

Their return will really mean a lot to Manchester city as it will also boost their confidence and their team depth and strength will definitely get much more better than it is now so they will definitely have more chances both at the UCL and the premier league although they still have a good team who have really been performing well enough even in the absence of these key player, although guardiola always have a way of reducing his team dependency on any player and that has helped them alot so far.

[Renampun]

De Bruyne and Doku's return is really important news for Manchester City. De Bruyne is already like the most crucial player in the midfield for them. His great skills are a big help for the team to be more organized on their attacks. Haaland is also expected to return after his injury in only a few days.

While we are getting close to last 16 in the Champions League this kind of news must be feeling amazing for Guardiola.    Because he really needs their best players on the pitch to be able to go for a back-to-back title. Otherwise their job can be extra difficult.

Kevin de Bruyne is not just anyone in the Man City squad, he is the king of assists who has contributed many beautiful assists to become goals, I have seen for myself how uncreative Man City's midfield is when he is injured, if it is true the news about Haaland will also return to play again, we can be sure that there will no longer be a team capable of beating Man city. The combination between Kevin and Haaland is really beautiful, last season Haaland was successful in becoming the top scorer in the EPL and more than 50% of his goals came from Kevin assists.
I'm a little doubtful that Haaland will be fully fielded when facing Copenhagen, Pep Guardiola will prioritize avoiding the possibility of Haaland getting injured in that match, he is still in the recovery stage.

I know Mbappe can leave PSG when he is out of contract for PSG, and there is nothing PSG can do to stop his transfer to any club he wants to play for. But it is very hard for players like Mbappe to leave for free.

While it is very difficult for him (Mbappe) to go to another team for free at this time, other teams are also starting to consider not taking Mbappe if the costs are too expensive. Mbappe is still a talented young player and his name is quite well known like other star players, so it would be a bit embarrassing if he had to go for free to another team from PSG. But if that is his final choice this season, of course he must accept it quite happily because it is the best for him.

[Obari]

I have to state this clearly about Manchester City,I have seen some persons just list out that the three players holding Mancity are Debruyne,Haaland and Doku,and when I saw this,I just knew that those people do not watch football that's why they will leave the important players and mention the ones that are not too much important.Now,if we are mentioning names that are important in Mancity's squad,the first name that have to come to our mind is Rodri,without Rodri in that squad,the team is  a complete average team,if you are football lover you see that the few games that Rodri was absent from,that they lost the three games back to back to back.But Haaland can be absent, Debruyne can also be absent,and City will still go on to win matches,because they have other players who can deputise well for them,while Rodri has no solid replacement if he is out injured. So take note,Rodri is Mancity. With him in their champions league squad,they can win the trophy.

PSG has many young striker now. Besides Mbappe, they have Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos. PSG actually won't have a problem with their strikers if Mbappe leaves the team. PSG only tries to extend Mbappe's contract because they are greedy, they want get huge money by selling Mbappe to Real Madrid. I think Mbappe must realize this, he won't be deceived anymore. I'm sure Mbappe won't consider to stay and dream to win UCL title with PSG for the next season. 

Yes, If Mbappe wants to get a better career, he must leave PSG. If he joins Real Madrid, he will have the chance to win UCL trophy, La Liga Trophy, and other prestigious trophies.

Mbappe should push for an exit because I'm seeing what PAG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is trying to do, he's making plans to restrain the top talent in his team and denying his chances of exploring to the world. Kylian Mbappe been dormant in just one elite team doesn't fit his style of play because he's one of the versatile player. Kylian Mbappe is irreplaceable in PSG, his style is completely different from the rest of the players and he has achieved quite alot in club and country level football. The Frenchman is craving for the major trophies and he won't stop at nothing till he accomplish.

Against Copenhagen, I'd love to see once again, Copenhagen did well against Bayern Munich also, keys see what happens when they face the defending Champions.

Copenhagen had a fantastic group stage, to make it out of a group that nobody actually gave them a chance is a wonderful feat, i'm pretty sure once the group stage draw was made, 10 out of 10 people thought that Copenhagen would finish fourth, but they proved everyone wrong and did the unexpected.

Having said that, i'm afraid that their CL journey would come to an end in the RO16, i cannot see any chance of City being eliminated by Copenhagen, make no mistake that it is going to be a tough game, but the team that would come out on top would be the treble winners.

Copenhagen pulled out a great performance in Group A of the UEFA Champions League to reach the last 16 when people were expecting Manchester United to qualify with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Even though the match between Copenhagen and Manchester City is not played, we all know that Manchester City is through to the quarter-final.

Man City will be the favorite to qualify. they are a strong team at the moment. but I hope Copenhagen will show their best game when they face Man City. Their first leg will be at home, and they should make the most of the fan support.
If Copenhagen wants to beat Man City, they have to take advantage of the home game, because getting a win in the second leg might be very difficult to achieve.
many will bet on Man City.

The remaining pairs may be more equal (although there are also clear favorites in most pairs), but I am sure that everything is decided here before entering the field.

In terms of player material, Man City players are superior to Copenhagen, especially since Man City's star players have returned from injury, such as Kevin De Bruyne. However Copenhagen should not be underestimated, I remember last season Man City played against them in Copenhagen and drew 0-0 in the group stage. So their away atmosphere is not a joke, it is even detrimental to their opponents. Even this season in the Group A phase they managed to beat Galatasaray and Man United at the Parken Stadium, and they also played well against Bayern Munich who managed to hold themselves to a 0-0 draw at the Allianz Arena stadium. Copenhagen is not a team that gives up easily. In short, in the UCL league, especially in the knockout round, anything can be an unexpected surprise.

[Out of mind]

I'm sure Man City will be strong again, they will focus on achieving another success in any competition. So, it is interesting to see how Man City performance in the second half of the season.

Since De Bruyne, Doku, and Haaland were injured, they may be coming back into the team, but Manchester City will now be able to recover. Because these three players are the most important for Manchester City and if they return to the team, they will be strong again in the Champions League. When these three key players come back and play, Manchester City will compete better in the league and play well to be successful. In the second Org season, we can say for sure that Manchester City will bring their game back again and again, and it will be very interesting.

So take note,Rodri is Mancity. With him in their champions league squad,they can win the trophy.

You're absolutely right; Rodri plays an extremely crucial role for Mancity. Without Kevin, Halaand, or Doku, Mancity might not win, but if they lack Rodri, they could easily lose, as proven. Rodri serves as a vital link between the defense and midfield; Mancity is missing a reliable defensive midfielder like Rodri as a replacement. Pep still hasn't figured out the puzzle when Mancity is without Rodri; Kalvin Phillips or Mateo Kovacic haven't shown effectiveness, and the team still can't control the midfield securely as when Rodri is on the field.

Last season, Ilkay Gundogan was Pep's answer whenever Rodri was absent. However, this season, Pep hasn't found someone who can replace Rodri, at least not playing the all-around role that Gundogan used to play.

Maybe I was one of the people who thought Copenhagen would finish in 4th place, I don't mean to favor Manchester United but because Galatassaray was also more deserving of qualifying. But unfortunately it didn't go perfectly and Copenhagen proved that they deserved to progress, even to the deciding match.

We definitely know the answer in the round of 16 because the opponent is the defending champion and also a team that has always been a candidate to win the Champions League in recent years so Copenhagen's chances are very slim. On the other hand, I hope there will be a surprise against Manchester City and if Copenhagen can do that then they have succeeded in reducing the favorite candidate to win. It's impossible but again before it's all over I want to see something worth seeing.

By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. No offense to Copenhagen fans buy if you compare both sides you'll see that City stand and better chance and even got better squad and tactics.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

And there is still quite lot of time left for each team to prepare for the match, it is clear that if they lose in two legs of the match they will be eliminated from the UCL competition.
In the Manchester City vs Copenhagen match, it is clear that Manchester City will be the favorite and in the first and second leg matches, Manchester City will definitely have the advantage.
Even though the first leg will be home match for Copenhagen, I sure that Manchester City can still win it and for the second leg of course Manchester City will have another big victory because they have home match.

With the return of the main players, Pep can use the perfect composition of players like he helped Manchester City win three competitions last season.
For the Premier League itself, Newcastle is still not great opponent for Manchester City and of course all conveniences can be obtained when very perfect squad is well structured.

I believe that everyone will try to do their very best and there won't be any issues at all, people think way too much of this knock off stage but there aren't that many close games if you ask me. I think most of the games will be won by the favorites, and considering most of the games are like 2.00 or lower odds for the favorites, it's clear to say unless there is some shock happening, I believe that it is going to be a tough situation for the underdogs.

Teams can get ready as much as they want, we all know that nothing major will change and we are going to end up with a result that should be obvious even from now, so all that time that is given to them in order to get ready will not mean anything, I bet that even if all the games were today, they would still get pretty much the same result.

[Strongkored]

Even though the match between Copenhagen and Manchester City is not played, we all know that Manchester City is through to the quarter-final.

Maybe the attitude of underestimating the opponent can thwart Manchester City to the quarterfinals, because on paper the two teams have a quality that is quite different, and Copenhagen fans might just hope that their favorite team will play freely so that they can still provide resistance even though the final result is Manchester City who qualifies but it will not disappoint fans because this is not a balanced match, unless they face a more balanced team like PSV but it certainly won't be possible because the draw will always pair the favorite and weak teams so that teams like Copenhagen can be said to be impossible to advance to the next round because if they don't meet Manchester City then another favorite team will be their opponent, because it can be said that Copenhagen is the team that is considered the weakest in this round of 16 because their success in qualifying from the group phase is quite surprising.

There are many reasons that can lead a player to leave and they are not always related to money
Humankind has emotions, expectations and so on
there are professional players who do their duty to the hilt and are loved very much by the fans

so Mbappe must understand what he wants first of all

Since De Bruyne, Doku, and Haaland were injured, they may be coming back into the team, but Manchester City will now be able to recover. Because these three players are the most important for Manchester City and if they return to the team, they will be strong again in the Champions League. When these three key players come back and play, Manchester City will compete better in the league and play well to be successful. In the second Org season, we can say for sure that Manchester City will bring their game back again and again, and it will be very interesting.

You are correct on this mate,City will be very strong when they get their full squad back from injury,they have a very strong solid,infact the best squad in Europe,with all their players back now,they would go on to fight hard for the premier league tittle and also the Champions league.Mancity players are really happy with the fact that Debruyne is back from a long term injury,but I'm still surprised that despite Debruyne's injury,Mancity are still in the top four,fighting it hard to win the league,that is to tell you that they have depth in the squad,and they can go on to play without anybody,and they won't get affected much.
