UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Despairo]

I don't think that Barcelona is a heavy favorite in this match against Napoli.I know that Napoli is in a weak form during all this season in their domestic league but it is exactly this fact that makes me think they will give it all in this game and hope to pull something out of this game as they play for almost nothing in their domestic league.Barcelona is in a better situation and has better players so this will be a very interesting encounter.

Yep Barcelona isn't a heavy favorite, but they're a favorite. The upcoming match will happen in Napoli's home, but the odds are equal for both of them, so people are believe Barcelona is able to beat Napoli in their homes.

I think Barcelona will able to qualify for the next round, but the upcoming match, I guess it's either Napoli win with small margin or draw.

When I look at the matchups I think that the most difficult to predict result can the Napoli v Barcelona and Inter v Atlético Madrid. I mean theory there are favourite of this matches which is Barcelona and Inter. You know Barcelona are having really tough days and Xavi even announced his parting ways with Barcelona this summer. Napoli could make a surprise. Also, Atletico Madrid plays very consistently in Laliga as well as Inter Milan in Serie A, so these two clubs will play carefully, aggressive and defensive, play both of them are equally good.

Napoli can match into the perfect shoes of the UCL round of 16. They have everything it takes to fight with elite teams but with their inconsistent form, things gradually breaking down for them. Barcelona are not in form, we should simply forget about the previous winnings we're witnessing, it takes only a formidable team to compete for the La Liga title and the Blaugrana are not listed among. Xavi Hernandez is doing just fine with the club and he already made a statement about him pushing through the exits door at the end of 2023/2024 La Liga campaign.

But Barcelona is still better than Napoli this season. Just look at Napoli who are still slumped in 7th place in Serie A. Meanwhile Barcelona still looks good at 3rd place in Laliga. And to stay in 3rd place in Laliga is not an easy thing. So Barcelona might be the favorite. And for the Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match, I won't be confused by this one. Because Inter Milan is currently in their best condition, even exceeding their performance last season. They also just managed to beat Juventus and put Inter Milan at the top of Serie A. And this shows that Inter Milan is better prepared to get through the round of 16. I'm sure of it.

Based on the calculation of points earned in the domestic league, Barcelona is better than Napoli, but overall, both teams are not at their best. Inter Milan are in top form, they are very obsessed with returning to the final and winning the UCL trophy after failing in the final last season. You also shouldn't underestimate Atletico Madrid, this team just held Real Madrid to a draw in La Liga, Simeone team also embarrassed Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey with a landslide score of 4-2. Inter are better prepared to advance to the next round judging by their performance, but Atletico will try to knock Inter out quicker with their aggressive displays this season.

But I remain confident in the performance of Inter Milan, who are still the best team in Serie A this season. And as you said, Inter Milan has strong drive and motivation to reach the top of the UCL final again. But yeah, Inter Milan won't have an easy match. So losing or winning probably won't be a surprise for the Inter vs Atletico Madrid match.

Also, Atletico Madrid plays very consistently in Laliga as well as Inter Milan in Serie A, so these two clubs will play carefully, aggressive and defensive, play both of them are equally good.

Of the four clubs you mentioned, perhaps only Barcelona has a negative performance trend in the domestic league. It is likely that Barcelona will not be the favorite even though it is a big team. Because he remembered that Xavi had difficulties in several previous matches.
Napoli and Atletico Madrid have almost the same chances because both of them can be said to be not bad in the domestic league. Even so, there are always surprises that occur in the Champions League. Because the battle for prestige of all participating clubs will affect the overall playing mentality.

No chance for barcelona to stay in the UCL till semi final. Napoli may possible to kick barcelona out of the club even though it was rarely having good history against barcelona. I think that this is a sense reason to being very pessimistic about barcelona. Barcelona's attackers and defenders were performing so badly.
They are always struggling to beat the weak clubs in the serie a. Im seeing it as a very important point that i can use it to predict the future. Barcelona was not a strong team this season. It has so many weakness and it will be a disaster if barcelona to face a club like intermilan once barcelona will able to beat napoli.
I hope that match will happen again caused by i do like when intermilan was destroying barcelona. Intermilan is in the very good shapes right now. I think that we will be seeing that barcelona to put more efforts to win the game against napoli soon.
I can't trust barcelona anymore. It's caused by this club is having a lot of unsolved problems started with financial issue, dramatic coach and many more.

Not to say Barcelona have no chance. I know Barcelona's overall performance is not very good. Their performance is erratic. However, this team cannot be underestimated. They have several experienced players in their squad.

In the Champions League we have seen in the past that the favorite teams do not always win. A few years ago we saw a mediocre team like Chelsea win the Champions League title. Almost every team that qualified for the Round of 16 performed well in the group stage. So I would say there is absolutely no chance of underestimating the Barcelona team. I think Barcelona will win against Napoli.

Atletico Madrid is known for its strong defense so it is not surprising that Real Madrid sometimes has difficulty beating Atletico Madrid, whereas in terms of Atletico Madrid attack line it is not as strong as other clubs, but usually Atletico Madrid attacking players, after being able to score 1 score, will already know the gaps in the opponent's defense and able to score again.
It is very reasonable that Inter Milan will likely have a little difficulty against Atletico Madrid and in the 1st leg match Inter must try to win with a bigger score or if not in the 2nd leg Atletico Madrid can respond more cruelly with a higher aggregate score.

In my opinion, it looks like Inter will still qualify for the semi-finals as long as they don't make mistakes in the first match. I'm sure they can qualify for the next round, but to reach the final I can't speculate yet because Bayern Munich is one of the strong candidates.

I would not call that victory landslide since it took additional time to determine the winner. In the pair Inter - Atlético Inter is the favorite, as can be seen from the quotes:

1.87 - 3.53 - 3.92

however, there is a nuance: Inter qualified from second place in the group, so the first game takes place in Milan. Inter must resolve all issues in the first game and as you can see, the probability of this is not at all high from the bookmakers’ point of view - only 1.87. If you take a win with a handicap, then the odds drop to a weak 2.80. It is obvious that if Inter does not win the first game, then Atletico will be the favorite in the return game. If Inter wins 1-0 or with any other minimum score, then the situation will be equalized.

Intermilan was underrated. I don't know what to say but simeone has been successfully rebuilding the club to perform even better. There was no strong club other than juventus who can keep up with the performance from intermilan. Juventus was only able to fully defense against interimlan which is quite embarassing.
The old lady needs to make some improvements especially related to the its creativity. Juventus lack of creativity when it was attacking the strong club which has fully balanced club like intermilan. You probably heard the same thing about juventus over and over again about how bad the attacking line of juventus.
Gatti was helping intermilan to get three points from its opponent and he was totally unlucky in that moment. Thuram was trying to heading it but he missed it. Gatti was pulling the ball go to the back of the net. Im trynig some positive things about juventus and i can only discover how solid the performance from the club is.
The defense, that's probably the only positive we can take from juventus in the previous match against intermilan. Juventus actually had a pattern to play but the attacking lines were sometimes being so clueless. Allegri needs to fix this as soon as possible.

Inter Milan will surely show som positive improvement that will make people to believe that they are on their way to lift this UEFA champions league trophy because, they have displayed some improvement in some competition to be in the top in the Italy serie A table to ensure they maintain the position till the end.

If inter Milan can disgraced Juventus that is forming strong team in this season and, it was a surprised game for Inter Milan to secure one goal to beat Juventus 1:0 and they still have that strength to beat Atletico Madrid if they have the opportunity to meet again before the end of the tournament.

I think Barcelona will able to qualify for the next round, but the upcoming match, I guess it's either Napoli win with small margin or draw.

Actually, I hope that Barcelona will win in the first leg, but if you look at the situation, Napoli will be the host, then I will make changes to my bet again. A narrow win or draw can still happen for Napoli and I don't deny it and therefore I will look for safety with a draw no bet even though the odds drop a little. Barcelona is likely to attack all out and here Napoli will use full defense to block every attack.

I also know that Barcelona is a team with high ball possession and here Napoli must be patient with Barcelona's game like that. Even though Barcelona is quite good at ball possession, another fact is that their weak defense is a hole that they have not been able to fix until now and I hope that Napoli can make a quick counterattack to penetrate this line of defense. Moreover, if in the next match the Barcelona goalkeeper is still Inaki Pena then Napoli will have a chance to score a goal because the goalkeeper has conceded too many goals recently.

When you watch all the team’s games, I won’t describe how Ancelotti almost always prefers Vini and Rodrigo, no matter how they play and how differently he pushes Diaz. Including always passing him first. I’ll just say that in the Spanish media after this game and such games this season there were a lot. The most liked comments of the level ratio were 410-35. Why Brahim was the first to be removed Carlo was the first to remove the best on the field, why Diaz was the first to leave and not Rodrigo.

Barcelona's condition, which is not at its best, raises a little doubt that this team can survive longer in the Champions League. Barcelona may be able to beat Napoli who are slumping in Serie A, but will struggle when facing tougher opponents in the next round. I believe anything can happen in football, if you look at the performance of other teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City it will be difficult for Barcelona to get rid of these teams.

Both teams are not in good condition at the moment so it will be quite difficult for both of them to get to the next round. But for the round of 16, perhaps Barcelona is far more favorite even though the first leg will take place at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, but this does not provide a guarantee because Napoli also have the ambition to beat Barcelona in the first leg. So when they visit Camp Nou it will be a little easier and there won't be much pressure to play at Barcelona's home ground.

I wouldn't put these two teams as favorites because they are both in quite worrying transitions. Barcelona is experiencing a club financial crisis and Napoli is also undergoing a change of coach who so far have not found the same rhythm as when they won Serie A last season.

If only comparing Barcelona with Napoli, it is clear that Barcelona will still have a good chance of winning by beating Napoli . Because indeed,at least Barcelona still has a good situation and conditions compared to Napoli this moment and therefore, I personally believe that Barcelona will still be able to qualify for the quarter finals .But unfortunately, if I consider thequality of Barcelona at least in a few seasons and not just about this season then ya, at least Barcelona is still not strong enough to be able to go further . Therefore,I think meeting or playing against Napoli in the round of 16 is lucky for Barcelona because and that way, ofcourse Barcelona has a chance to qualify for the quarter finals.

In the 3 teams you mentioned here, Barcelona does not even stand a draw talk more of securing a win against any of the clubs. I don't know what may be the cause of these poor performance, everyone knew Barcelona as one big club when it comes to the champions league matches but now with their very dull performance they won't secure a better spot on the list. Barcelona winning Napoli should not be something one could bet a straight win, since both teams are not doing well anything can happen.

[Webetcoins]

Napoli can match into the perfect shoes of the UCL round of 16. They have everything it takes to fight with elite teams but with their inconsistent form, things gradually breaking down for them. Barcelona are not in form, we should simply forget about the previous winnings we're witnessing, it takes only a formidable team to compete for the La Liga title and the Blaugrana are not listed among. Xavi Hernandez is doing just fine with the club and he already made a statement about him pushing through the exits door at the end of 2023/2024 La Liga campaign.

But Barcelona is still better than Napoli this season. Just look at Napoli who are still slumped in 7th place in Serie A. Meanwhile Barcelona still looks good at 3rd place in Laliga. And to stay in 3rd place in Laliga is not an easy thing. So Barcelona might be the favorite. And for the Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match, I won't be confused by this one. Because Inter Milan is currently in their best condition, even exceeding their performance last season. They also just managed to beat Juventus and put Inter Milan at the top of Serie A. And this shows that Inter Milan is better prepared to get through the round of 16. I'm sure of it.

No doubt Barcelona with their all internal issues still a good team which is having third spot in La Liga league table, and they are still having good chance for the win against Napoli which is also having issues, but their performance is also on decline which bring them to 8th spot in Serie A with their attack is also having not good performance in last few matches which is surely going to have trouble for them in coming days.

Victor Osimhen is also not available and their in last few matches they are not able to score any goal which is also problem for them with if they want to have better results then surely things can go worst for them because with their current performance and quality I am not sure whether they can jump into top six, but Barcelona is surely team which is going to have good chance for staying at the third spot and if they are going to have something improve then surely we can expect them into last four of this season as well in Champions League.

So losing or winning probably won't be a surprise for the Inter vs Atletico Madrid match.

It is going to be a tough match on that day, because these two clubs will fight hard to conquer the other for them to be able to qualify to the next round. Inter is super strong this season, and we can judge from their performance in Seria A. They have only lost one match, and they have one of the best defense in the world. They were present in last year's final, which will be an additional motivation to them.

Athletico have also shown that they are strong, because they are the only hard nut in Laliga that Real Madrid is finding difficult to crack. This makes them more dangerous, but I wouldn't use the performance of these two clubs in their domestic league to determine who will win the match. Inter has a high chance of winning the match, because they will be more desperate than Athletico Madrid.

With Barcelona's current condition, I even doubt that Barcelona will be able to beat Napoli in the last 16 of the Champions League even though Napoli themselves have not been good so far. Moreover, to get rid of other top teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, it will definitely be much more difficult for Barcelona with their condition not being good. Because the most logical thing for Barcelona now is to try to stay in the top four of La Liga for this season rather than hoping for more in the Champions League.

Do you think it's unreasonable for Barcelona to expect something better in the Champions League this season?
I think Barcelona have better experience in the Champions League than Napoli and that's an advantage you're basically ignoring. I don't understand why you think Barcelona don't deserve to get what they want in the Champions League while fighting for the La Liga title.

Considering the quality of Napoli's play and performance this season, Barcelona should easily qualify for the quarter-finals instead of failing. I am optimistic that Barcelona can win a ticket to the quarter-finals, but regarding the semi-finals it really depends on who they will be playing against. So don't underestimate Barcelona because nothing is impossible, unless you are in the opposing camp.
