UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[EL MOHA]

Why does it look boring if Manchester City wins the UCL trophy again this season. In terms of strength, they are still sufficient and all their lines have quality players so they will be ready to advance to the final this season. If a team can balance its performance in every match by winning, isn't that their strength to win the trophy again? Manchester City swept all the matches in the group stage by winning and that shows how strong they are this season.

Of course, only two teams performed perfectly by winning every match they played, of course those two teams were none other than Real Madrid and Manchester City. These two teams are the strongest compared to other teams this season, even for Bayern munich, they are also believed to be able to fulfill their hopes of reaching the final this season. The opportunity for Manchester City may be quite big this season because Kevin return to the team will make them strong again this season.

Manchester City have always come out from the group stage in near perfect result this to me is because they are always lucky to get drawn in an easy group either it is group of Porto and other less competitive clubs or a club like Leipzig and the same less competitive league. So I don’t actually count there group stage success at all. Madrid on the other hand usually comes out scrambling from the group only to get better in the later stages. So this season performances isn’t just there yet help us judge who will be crown the champions as I will leave my predictions till after maybe the round of 16 to see how each of these teams will perform.

On current form though I will have to say both clubs will definitely be heavy favourite to win it. Other contenders can be Bayern Munich who I think they have improved since the arrival of Harry Kane although there is still an imbalance in that midfield and defense of theirs that against a better opponent they will suffer against if they don’t find a solution to it

 Of course it will be much more difficult because you will be facing a team that is much more balanced and has almost the same level of experience. Porto is a representative who regularly enters the Champions League and of course their strength cannot be considered weak, especially if they play at home, so Arsenal needs to be aware of their ability to provide surprises. If I wanted to bet, I would prefer the match to end in a draw because after all, Porto is a team that is quite ready to play in the Champions League.

The match is still quite long and maybe both of them can prepare a lot, depending on the depth of the squad they have. When key players suffer injuries due to participating in the main league, this will actually affect the team's performance. Both coaches will have to get really good at rotating because the playoffs will be much more difficult.

One of the fixtures for the UCL round of 16 between Arsenal and Porto is more of an average probable game. Both teams are likely to win. Although Arsenal are a better side judging from their EPL performances, to their group stage performances too. Porto themselves aren't doing so bad in their league and they've got good track record in the group stage. That's why the game is going to be a little bit tough to predict the winner, well let's see if Arsenal would be able to comfortably win them and qualify for the next round.

 Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still.

Real Madrid and Manchester City and Bayern Munich could qualify for the next round, although in a way that may not be so easy, because the three teams are actually still equally strong when facing opponents who are not quite on par with them. However, after the round of 16 was completed and the round of eight began, that's where many predictions and speculation were born from many people who would say which team had more potential to win the title this season in the Champions League.

I do not think the champions league game would be average tie; i believe instead that it will be a great game that will entertain both fans and even neutral fans as the game can give outcomes both ways. It can either be an Arsenal win or a Porto win. I am tipping Porto to qualify ahead of arsenal, as they have got the clout and champions league knock out games experience compared to the young arsenal squad.

what do you think ?

It is all about not underestimating their opponents in this round. Bayern, Manchester City and Real Madrid are the favorites in all those games, but there have been surprises in the past. I would be no exception if one of them gets under pressure, but since it is two games to go, I doubt that any of these teams would falter. I rather expect a few superior games by those teams and then we will see what the next round brings regarding the drawing.

Those teams are the favorite teams to win the UCL title this season. As long as they don't face each others, they probably will continue to the next round. In the current round, those teams have easy opponents, there is no doubt that they will easily qualify for the next round. I just expect that those teams won't meet each others until semi-final round. If it happens, we can expect 2 of those 3 teams will be in the final round. Honestly, I want to see Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich in the last round of UCL this year. Man City looks to have smaller chance to win again the UCL title because they are not in their best form. There are many key players injured for few months. It ruins the performance of the whole players.

We still have a good number of games just before the finals and before then, any thing can still happen and any team can be seen making it to the finals so it's not restricted to a certain group or set of persons or a team to win the champions league more often but to those who have got the form and the stamina to compete and win the trophy.

Manchester city stands a very big chance to the fact that they have a very good team with a good squad depth and their injured players who were away for sometimes which contributed to their set back for awhile is now back and the likes ok Kevin de bruyne is already playing and so far his impact has been felt in the team and their performance aswell, it's very possible they will be able to defend the trophy again this season ant that will be them winning the trophy twice in a roll a good record to set. Bayern Munich isn't as experienced as Manchester city and Real Madrid but they have got a good and strong team aswell who also got a very good team depth so let the best team win.

I think Manchester City depend on the fitness of their best players, while it's not the case for Real Madrid. Manchester City have exceptional team and squad depth but their dependence on their best players has appeared now. The impact of De Bruyne on the team's performance underlines the importance of having top-quality players back in action. The return of previously injured players as contributing factors to Manchester City's resurgence is a proof of their dependence. A fully fit and deep squad is crucial for sustained success, especially in competitions where physical demands are high.

The possibility of Manchester City winning the trophy twice in a row as a good record to set would indeed solidify Manchester City's status as a dominant force in European football. Bayern Munich is as experienced as Manchester City and Real Madrid that still can possesses a strong team. In Champions League, where top teams face off, the unpredictable nature of football often leads to exciting and closely contested matches. The anticipation of a competitive battle and the acknowledgment that the best team will emerge victorious reflects a balanced and sportsmanlike viewpoint.

Those teams are the favorite teams to win the UCL title this season. As long as they don't face each others, they probably will continue to the next round.

I just expect that those teams won't meet each others until semi-final round. If it happens, we can expect 2 of those 3 teams will be in the final round. Honestly, I want to see Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich in the last round of UCL this year. Man City looks to have smaller chance to win again the UCL title because they are not in their best form. There are many key players injured for few months. It ruins the performance of the whole players.

I think the strongest candidate teams will face each other early, whether in the top 8 or top 4, so that we will see a stronger force from them when they face each other later. Be it Barcelona, ​​Manchester City or Real Madrid, of course they could face each other earlier and all of that will be answered when the voting takes place.

If strong teams face each other early, it could be that this season there will be an unseeded team that can advance to the final this season. Inter Milan is often underestimated, but for me they are the strongest team this season. As last season's runners up they will be very feared by other teams, in fact I would like to see Inter Milan be able to block other candidate teams such as Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

I rather expect a few superior games by those teams and then we will see what the next round brings regarding the drawing.

We expects our favorite team to come our victorious in every match played but it's quite important these clubs doesn't fall out of track. UEFA Champions League is definitely not a competition for mediocre teams, the title race is only among the best clubs. We have watch and observe the outstanding performance exhibited by these teams, none of them holds back because striving for good results have always been the ultimate goal. You're correct, these elite clubs are opportune to be on the lists because they've become one of the very tough clubs, proven themselves.

It is funny that you don't want Man City to win the UCL title although you are the fan of Man City.  
Real Madrid looks strong enough to win UCL title this season, but Man City also has the chance to win it. Man City still has quality squad, they are very capable to defeat any team in UCL. Moreover, the injury players of Man City have recovered, only Haaland who is still injured. So, why you must exclude Man City from the candidate of UCL winner this season?

If we consider the squad depth, Man City also has good squad depth. They also have experienced players and coach. There is no different with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So I still believe that Man City also still has the chance to be the champion.

just imagine what if you had 2 teams that you really like? would you like both of them to become UCL title holders?
but I'm sure you will prefer Man City to be the UCL title holders this season. 

I really respect your opinion but believe me, even though I like Man City, I have always liked Real Madrid better and maybe it makes sense for me if I want Madrid to win another title this season even though Man City logically has a more qualified squad but I don't said he had to eliminate Man City from being a candidate to hold the UCL title this season.
It's just that maybe Real Madrid doesn't have a pure striker because they failed to get Mbappe and I'm sure if Mbappe accepts Real Madrid offer there will be more people who say Real Madrid are the UCL title holders this season.

honestly, I admit that since KDB return, Man City looks very beautiful at the moment and when Haaland returns to appear with Man City, his performance will definitely be strong again, but we'll see if we can see Man City and Real Madrid competing in the final.

[klidex]

even thought I also like Man City, I dont expect this team to win the title in the UCL, but I rather hope that Real Madrid can get the title because if Man City gets another title it will be boring on the one hand I am one of the people who really Like Real Madrid in depth, the performance of these two teams is very balanced, but we have to remember that Real Madrid is one of the most experienced teams in the UCL and I am sure that Madrid can win another title this season.

If we consider the squad depth, Man City also has good squad depth. They also have experienced players and coach. There is no different with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So I still believe that Man City also still has the chance to be the champion.

Liking doesn't mean being a fan, maybe he just likes the way Manchester City plays and likes the depth of the squad and is not a fan.
Real Madrid is still many people's favorite to win the Champions League title because they have a lot of experience and they have been the club that has won the most Champions League titles. But there are also quite a few Manchester City fans who want this club to win another title because they only experienced it last season and Manchester City also still has the same opportunity as Real Madrid and also has the same coach who brought Manchester City to the treble winners last season, so in my opinion there is nothing wrong if we favor Manchester City again to win the title.

It is true that Manchester City still has good squad depth and Manchester City also played well in the Champions League group phase and won without losing, just like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich did, so of course Manchester City still has the opportunity to winning the Champions League title as well as the domestic league.

UCL was a competition for best of the best from any european leagues. This competition for the best clubs from any leagues, but there are a few clubs that were fully dominating the competition. It means that if any clubs that was competing in this league must be ready for that.
Any club who was able dominating the competition is always having the best squad in the world. Even real madrid has been winning this competition three times in a row and it was also creating a new record that can't be broken by other club.

The elite clubs have a lot of resources to keep strengthening their club and financial has become the main problem that create the gap between the big and small club.
The big club is always having a very good squad that has been filled by so many great players.

Although Arsenal are a better side judging from their EPL performances, to their group stage performances too.

Even if many people predict that Arsenal will win this match, in my opinion the match will not be easy for Arsenal to get full points. Porto have qualified 23 times for the Champions League and that means they are only behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League and Porto have also won the Champions League twice. Even though that was before, Arsenal cannot underestimate Porto's performance because if they are careless, Arsenal will fail to advance to the next round.

Away matches will usually be much tougher because the Champions League is quite different from the main league so it is not uncommon for many clubs to be eliminated quickly. Arteta needs to prepare a lot of things because the match is still long and maybe he can motivate his players to perform as well as possible to get full points.

However, if you look at the quality of the team this season, I think Arsenal's percentage of winning matches is much greater, regardless of the history of the two teams in the past, but what is certain is that Arsenal and Porto are the two top teams in Europe who have a fairly strong mentality.
In the Champions League know-out round, it is possible for many things to happen, very often surprises happen here, but that is beyond the speculation of many people, which is certain that, mathematically, Arsenal currently has a bigger chance because their performance is much better than Porto.

I understand your Manchester City concerns. They seem too dependent on a few key players. Every team has stars, but overdependence can be a weakness. Missing those players impacts the team dynamic, not for the better. Yes, clubs like Real Madrid seem more balanced, with more different strategies that dont rely on a few stars.

Isnt that football's beauty? Volatility, ups and downs. Manchester City may look excessively dependant, but they can win the title. I'd love to see another team win the Champions League, maybe even unexpectedly. Football is about shock and awe, and this season's Champions League provides that.

Manchester city have an obvious dependence on a few star amongst the team, it has been seen in the absence of these players Manchester city had a few wins but they struggled around it of which if these players were very much Available if not for injury, they would have won all of those game very well, Manchester city still remains an elite and a favourite in the champions league this season and I wouldn't be really surprised if the win or loose the champions league because football comes with its surprises.

People will be expecting Manchester city to defend the champions league as most recent winners which is very possible but Manchester city may aswell loose out if they don't get their complete squad on ground as at when required ,it will be really soothing to see another team win the champions league this season.

A name like Bernado Silva the Portuguese has also lost form because player's who complemented his performance from last season left and the one or two around got Injured in away. When i watch him, I see him stressed but still wants to play regardless. In the absence of Kevin De Bruyne and them rest, he alongside Phil Foden has been used for most of them creativity. Also Rodri who has been used a defensive midfielder has also advanced more and attacked more than he did last season.

I don't have much to say about who wins and lose. I just want to watch good football, learn from them players and also tactics from Pep Guardiola.

Back-to-back title is quite possible for Manchester City when we think about it on paper. Because technically they have one of the best squads in Europe now. And they are playing according to Guardiola's really solid system as well. However this task is still going to be quite difficult for them at the same time.

The reason why is that they have really challenging opponents such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Manchester City won the title for the first time in their history previously. It would be really challenging to retain the title against these more experienced teams.    De Bruyne and Haaland are needed as a duo for Manchester City from now on to increase their chance.

Manchester City winning the Champions League trophy back-to-back this season is possible because Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the real threats to Manchester City. Manchester City beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich last season to reach the UEFA Champions League final, and Manchester City can still beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich this season.

if champion league still dificult can back to back manchester city this season.
There are still strong teams with many stars and winning traditions in the champion league. for example there are real madrid, bayern munchen. PSG, although it is not the first tier superior team, should also be aware of the many star players there including Mbappe. although PSG does not have a winning tradition in the champion league. but still need to be aware.

[babo]

this season the competitors are very fierce and will certainly want to snatch the trophy from Pep Guardiola's hands
When competitions are like this, I really enjoy it a lot
I like knowing I'm watching a game where they don't play defense but dare with the desire to win
in the end I pay for the ticket for that reason

Every season we have fierce competition for the title in Champions League with there is nothing new but this time we have few teams which are at the same level and also having enough quality to give tough fight to Manchester City which is defending champions with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are toughest and Inter Milan and few others are also doing good preparation before start of the knock-out rounds.

Right now, any prediction is not possible because things are not favourable for any with any team can bring surprise specially while we have few which are playing as dark horse even these clubs are not in hot favourite list but still things can go into their favour after winning this round matches.

few but more than last year, last year only Inter and Real Madrid were up to Manchester City
This year, however, I think there are more teams that are up to Pep Guardiola's team, so I think it's a much more interesting season than the previous one.

or better i hope because i love fight on football

Never say never. Manchester city was among the strongest clubs in the UCL. We shall we feel worry about this. As long as city will not be facing or bayern munich and it will be possible for city to get the UCL again this season. The chance is pretty big since de bruyne was coming back again.
This is a good news for manchester city and yeah we shall not forget that if haaland will be back again next month. The chance for manchester city to take UCL this season becomes even bigger than before. Im quite happy by seeing fuardiola said this on his latest interview.

Im feeling very good to say manchester city will be winning UCL this season. There will be no club can prevent haaland and de bruyne once they will be playing together. Halaand was just winning his first UCL on the first season he played for manchester city.
There will be a lot of surprises to come soon. This is gonna be very interesting competition to watch. City was always lucky in getting easy team as its opponent. Copenhagen was nothing for manchester city. '

Im not doubting the chance of city to get UCL this season. The club is performing far better than before and i can't even wait haaland to comeback again soon. He was a disaster for the whole clubs in UCL.

Manchester City winning the Champions League trophy back-to-back this season is possible because Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the real threats to Manchester City. Manchester City beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich last season to reach the UEFA Champions League final, and Manchester City can still beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich this season.

Last season, Man City maybe was able to beat both of them. Because last season Ral Madrid and Bayern were not in good enough condition. But this season I think something is different. Because Real Madrid and Bayern this season really look more solid than last season. Meanwhile, Man City has had many problems this season. De Bruyne has also just recovered and has returned to playing and indeed he can immediately return to his best performance. But Haaland hasn't returned yet, but I haven't heard any news about when Haaland will return. Even though there are lots of rumors circulating that Haaland might be able to return at the end of January, I'm still not sure whether he will immediately return to his best performance or not.

De Bruyne can immediately return to his best performance but we still don't know about Haaland. So this season the UCL will probably be fiercer than last season. Unless Haaland returns and remains in good form then Man City's chance of winning the UCL title again could indeed happen again.

Inter Milan is also something to be reckoned with. Because this season Inter Milan also looks stronger than last season. And Serie A clubs are sometimes difficult to predict. And can always make other strong teams overwhelmed when facing them.
