UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Velvet78]

For PSG I can say I don't think this round is the end of the road for them. Real Sociedad have been an impressive team and they would be likely to make big difficulties for PSG in Spain as well. But I think it would happen only in Spain not France as well.    Because you must have all seen the way PSG play their home games in the Champions League.

The first game of the matchup is also in France by the way which means PSG will focus on finishing the job here already. If they don't do it and surprise people then it would be a serious psychological advantage for Real Sociedad to benefit from. But I don't think PSG will mess it up.

Interesting stats for these clubs... In 2022 Leipzig managed to beat Madrid in a home game, although the difference was only one goal, but nevertheless Leipzig managed to score three goals... I also think that Real will be able to play in the final again this season, but Leipzig played well in the group stage and even managed to score two goals in the away game against City...

Some how I doubt Leipzig getting to the finals, it's very fine and understandable if they will be able to get pass the round of sixteen because Leipzig isn't a weak team and their champions league performance so far has really been quite fair enough and not such that can be ruled out just almost immediately so it still possible to pass that stage.

In the round of sixteen Leipzig will be facing Real Madrid in their first home games and currently Madrid is in a very good and close to perfect form with all their players present and in good shape with out injury it's really going to be a hard one for Leipzig indeed except they will be lucky to win at home and get a draw away which is appearing almost impossible going by what I think it's applicable because in the history of these two teams meeting, only a few times have Leipzig gotten a win or draw the rest times Real Madrid has won almost all of them so maybe history may repeat in this game.

[Alpha Marine]

If you look at Madrid's current performance I think this is a big loss for Leipzig. I think Madrid will be able to at least become finalists this season. City and Madrid are strong candidates to win the Champions League this season. I don't think Leipzig will be able to go any further. It's a shame because they have to meet Madrid in the round of 16. I am not underestimating Leipzig but we know that Madrid is one of the most favored teams this season.

The thing I love about the Champions League is that it never goes as planned. There are always things to surprise people.  In the Champions League, I can't comfortably say who would win what and who would be in the final. I can only point out the favorites and pick teams I feel will advance based on my bias.
Just because a team is in form doesn't mean they'll be in the final.

Madrid is clearly the favorite to win against Leipzig and they but saying they will get to the final is reaching. Madrid is not as consistent as they used to be in other seasons, but we know how they can be in the Champions League. They still have to go past the round of 16 before we can talk about advancing past the other stages.

[Adams0001]

It is true that Real Madrid's current performance looks very good, they are not only focused on La Liga but also focused on the Champions League. In my opinion, in this match, Leipzig will definitely have great difficulty facing Real Madrid's attacks, because I am sure that Real Madrid will definitely play very aggressively to win this match with very satisfying results. Maybe Leipzig should really focus on its defense so that it is not easily penetrated if there is an attack from Real Madrid, because then Real Madrid will not easily penetrate Leipzig's defense so that they don't concede many goals in this match.

Real Madrid is focusing on both competitions because they still have hope to win the La Liga and the Champions League, so they will continue to perform well until the end of the competition, I don't think Leipzig will give real madrid a tough time this time around because when madrid play with Leipzig play with real madrid in the group stage last is Nkunku that pressure Madrid that time and is no longer in the club, so I didn't see any key player in the cub that can give real madrid defenders difficulty in the game, now Real Madrid are focusing on there weekend game with Girona so madrid are not talking about the Champions league now. they need to finish with Girona before talking about other competitions because they need to win Girona so that they can continue topping the laliga league.

For PSG I can say I don't think this round is the end of the road for them. Real Sociedad have been an impressive team and they would be likely to make big difficulties for PSG in Spain as well. But I think it would happen only in Spain not France as well.    Because you must have all seen the way PSG play their home games in the Champions League.

I think so too, PSG will qualify to the quarter-finals of the Champions League because psg are in better shape than Real Sociedad in the league, PSG will do their best to defeat Real Sociedad in the Princes Park, and they should lead Sociedad before they come to Spain, in the first time I believe Sociedad will defeat psg when they play the match, but now I believe psg will definitely win the match because they have improved enough mbappe will try and win the Champions League for psg before he leave the club, but he will just be very difficult since Manchester City and Real Madrid are still in the competition.

Apart from that, we also remember Real Madrid's experience in the Champions League, which is currently still being coached by Ancelotti, so it could make it difficult for RB Leipzig to win in the last 16 of the Champions League. Because now everyone has seen how Real Madrid's condition is getting better and also often getting good results in important matches this season. So it wouldn't be wrong if in that match Real Madrid was more favored than RB Leipzig who came from the German League.

I obviously don't know what the big blabbing is about because it's too obvious and certain that Leipzig is no match for the attacking powers of real Madrid, I mean this team is filled with a lot of energy and these young men are utmost at their prime and I think it would be one of the football wonders if Leipzig would find a way to remove Real Madrid in the champions league round of 16.

[KTChampions]

I did some research and saw that Real Madrid's chances of winning this match are 45%, with 26% of a draw and 29% of a win for Leipzig

Although I'm a big believer in Real Madrid, I think the odds are in line with reality - it's not easy to beat Leipzig in Germany.
In the 22/23 season Leipzig beat Real Madrid 3-2 and then Real won 2-0 in Spain.

So it's a very difficult match for Real.

Where I'm betting the odds are 2.14 for Real to win

This is a completely unfair comparison as this was a group stage where Real Madrid had won three games in a row (including against Leipzig) in the first three games, guaranteeing progress to the next stage. And only after that they began to lose points in games that were no longer important to them.
I'm not saying that it's easy to win against Leipzig, but the group stage games and the playoff stage games are completely different things that cannot be compared.

I think so too, PSG will qualify to the quarter-finals of the Champions League because psg are in better shape than Real Sociedad in the league, PSG will do their best to defeat Real Sociedad in the Princes Park, and they should lead Sociedad before they come to Spain, in the first time I believe Sociedad will defeat psg when they play the match, but now I believe psg will definitely win the match because they have improved enough mbappe will try and win the Champions League for psg before he leave the club, but he will just be very difficult since Manchester City and Real Madrid are still in the competition.

They are not just in the competition, they are prime candidates to win and looking at their squads and the state of the PSG team in general, they are clearly not a competitor. I don't know how far PSG will go in this tournament, but I think they have little chance of winning the Champions League.

[tusandii]

If you think that PSG will win this UEFA champions league trophy this season, I will disagree with you because their performance in this season will not allow them to lift the trophy because, they struggle to get to this stage they are now in the competition.

PSG is still quite far from winning the champions league, especially since everything depends on Kylian Mbappe and every team on the list of champion candidates always fills the depth of their squad evenly and is not just dominated by one person. PSG is still the same as before in this competition and at least the quarter finals are the highest place they can reach each season.

It is very difficult for a team like PSG to beat the dominance of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and even Inter, who we know can always reach the higher stages and get close to the final with their current squad. Maybe if PSG can fully learn from some of these teams to build a squad from scratch then everything can run smoothly and not just be great in the domestic league.

Yes, you are right, or in other words, PSG is still too early to win the Champions League.
I don't think relying solely on Mbappe is as easy as winning the League 1 title.
The Champions League requires a club that has very strong players without relying on just 1 player and until now PSG is still doing this and it is impossible to get a trophy in the Champions League.

This champions league match is actually a very heavy pressure for Enrique because he has to have various methods to be able to provide good performance for PSG, whereas PSG often relies on just one player and in the champions league this is a very difficult competition, unlike in league 1 even though in the league Domestically PSG can achieve success but in the champions league PSG will not easily do the same because the whole club will perform as well as possible.
So Enrique will work very hard in the Champions League match and in my opinion it will be very impossible to get a trophy in the Champions League.

Yeah, obviously, bro Real Madrid will try to struggle for La Liga as well as the Champions League. Real Madrid have quite a good performance in La Liga competition. They got 58 points and have a 1st place in the league table, despite the fact that in the Champions League competition they are a little bit lacking in the defense because, if we look at the previous match of real Madrid in the Champions League, they just want to win the game I mean, only focusing on the goal, not on the defending. Because in previous match, they did the striker more like score a goal but didn't have to hold on by defense. So I mean to say that Real Madrid are looking to do their best, but if in the Champions League they didn't seek any solutions for defense, maybe be this will be bad for them.

[QueenVera]

RB Leipzig and Copenhagen will find it hard to beat their opponents in their game, but it will be an achievement for them since they have tried and struggled to make it to the round of 16 in the championship league. Just as you mentioned, any team that made it so far to the round of 16 deserves to be appreciated, even though they end up losing and not qualifying for the quarterfinals, but they struggled to be in the round of 16. Which is also not an easy task.

It would even be a big disgrace for Manchester City if they tried to make a mistake to even go on a draw with Copenhagen, because it has happened before in the Europa League when their game ended at a score of 2-2. and also in the Champions League when the score ended in 0-0, but for Real Madrid and RB Leipzig, they just met in two games so far, and Real Madrid won one while RB Leipzig got the luck to win the other one, so I have more faith in Real Madrid winning their game against RB Leipzig than that of Manchester City against Copenhagen.

Getting to the Round of 16 of the UCL is a big achievement and we must commend clubs who attained this feat. Yes Liepzig and Copenhagen both have attained these feats and now having difficult fixture in this round. Well Real Madrid will nor be so worried with Liepzig as I can fully bank on Real to be able to eliminate Liepzig in this stage of the competition. Yea, Real have a more better and fierce squad that’ll be able to compete.

 ÞManchester City too would be able to take on Copenhagen in both legs and I’m confident of this. These 2 clubs are what most football fans look up to see them in the final as they’re the only teams that are determined and play with all vigor, however I think  Manchester City are going to come out victorious in that game cause they're more better than Copenhagen in terms of Squad depth and form.

Basically PSG has better quality compared to Real Sociedad and therefore, whatever the situation is then of course PSG will still have a better chance of qualifying for the quarter finals compared to Real Sociedad . Although for example, Real Sociedad is in a good position and good trend in La Liga, and for example Real Sociedad is in the top four with good points in La Liga standing but still, comparing it with PSG still produces better results for PSG . Therefore, I personally will not doubt the quality that PSG has in this round of 16 against Real Sociedad because ya, of course PSG will maximize this good chance to be able to qualify for the quarter finals with beating Real Sociedad.

PSG still need to improve themselves a lot more to be competitive for the Champions League title.    They couldn't win it even while they had amazing players such as Messi and Neymar beside Mbappe on the pitch. Neymar was very injury-prone though. But I think their squad was still more powerful back then.

Now they have brought really young players for the attacking line such as Ramos, Kolo Muani and so on. The new version of the squad need more time to do better things than winning a Ligue 1 championship. But would we still see Mbappe in the squad? It is doubtful for now.

So it's a very difficult match for Real.

Where I'm betting the odds are 2.14 for Real to win

But you say you are still okay with betting on Real Madrid to win.    Joking aside I also think of betting on Real Madrid would be the most reasonable risk to take rather than betting on a draw for a match like this. If I made a betslip full of surprise choices then I guess I would have given Leipzig a chance. It wouldn't be the first time they win against Real Madrid so who knows. 

One can stay even much safer by betting on Real Madrid's double chance also. But the odds given are only 1.33. It would make more sense to bet on Real Madrid by taking a little more risk according to many people I guess.

The Champions League is not a tournament for newcomers and that's what we always heard about this tournament from people that's why we expect to see Real Madrid easily win this match because even though Real Madrid is the team we can say they are the first hope for the title of the this seasoning the Champions league even more than other teams like Macnshter City or Bayer Munich that's why I think it totally worth to bet on this team against Leipzig.

It is of course obvious that PSG is better and they will win this matchup, however what the trouble seems to be for PSG is not these teams, they are capable of winning, it's a bit tougher teams.

I mean we have seen them have hard time with Dortmund, Milan and Newcastle group, if they are having trouble with that group, then maybe it would not be possible for them to beat teams like City or Real Madrid or Bayern. That is the level they want to reach to, and that is the level they fail. Mind you, PSG did not finish the group first, Dortmund did, so PSG was second in their group, a team that was second in THAT group, can't really be opponents for the big three, hence that is where they are going to fail when they meet one of them.

It won’t be so surprising if PSG make it up to the semi-final, but it will be very hard for them to go to the final stage. PSG will go a long way in the round of 16 because of the performance, and I am very sure mbappe will try his possible best to see if he can make PSG win this year's trophy, which will be somehow hard for him to do, but we can't still conclude there is still time to wait and watch the game.

Although PSG's next game against Real Sociedad will be a simple prediction because no one will think that Real Sociedad will win PSG because Real Sociedad's performance is not yet up to that standard to win PSG in the present of Mbappe, I will proudly say that definitely PSG will win the game and knock Real Sociedad out, although they have already tried their possible best to make it to the last round of 16. That is also an achievement, but thinking or imagining to see Real Sociedad in the quarterfinal will be such an impossible event. PSG won’t even let that happen; if not, it will be a big slap on PSG's face if they let Real Sociedad win that game.

If you can even refer to these two teams, even though PSG only has Mbappe as a big star in their squad. Likewise based on betting exchanges. If referring to Asian Handicap Betting, the odds for this match are with a margin of 0:1. that means, those who bet on PSG must score at least 2 goals against Real Sociedad. although in reality, handicap odds also have several options according to our courage and desires. in Ligue 1, Paris Sain-Germain is the top of the group having scored 48 goals. even though in the group phase in the Champions League, the performance of Luis Enrique's team looked very unstable. but now PSG is starting to experience many developments, especially the pattern that Luis Enrique uses. so it's natural that PSG is superior, especially in the first leg which will be played at the Parc des Princess.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad performed brilliantly in the Champions League group phase with perfect results. however, this time, their opponents were a little more difficult than their opponents in the group phase. In La Liga, Real Sociedad's performance is quite good and is ranked 6th, but that alone is not enough to overthrow Paris Saint-Germain. moreover, based on the odds betting exchange for these two teams, there is quite a big difference..PSG with odds @ 1.63, while Sociedad with @ 5.40. Well, it's natural that PSG is more favored than Real Socidedad in this Champions League round of 16 meeting.

[nurilham]

This season, not only Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the favorites, but Inter milan is certainly considered the strongest team this season. The performance of these 4 teams is quite good this season because they also performed quite impressively in the domestic league. Apart from that, there are many surprises that might happen this season because all teams are really focused on achieving the trophy.

I agree that Inter Milan also can be considered as the favorite team to reach the final round. However, it won't be easy to qualify for the next round because Inter Milan will play against Atletico Madrid. Although Inter Milan performed very well in Serie A, they can't underestimate Atletico Madrid because this team very often surprises us. They even ever reached the final of UCL with Real Madrid. So, it is not impossible if Atletico can beat Inter in the current round.

Sometimes the performance in domestic league won't impact very much on the UCL matches. That's why Inter Milan can't underestimate Atlletico Madrid although they are very struggling in La Liga for this season.

Meanwhile, for Bayern Munich, Tuchel is very ambitious to bring the UCL trophy home to the Bundesliga. In fact, Harry Kane performance has been very good with Bayern munich this season, of course he will be a player that opposing defenses will be very wary of this season. So, if you say that Manchester City is not performing well this season, of course that is a big mistake because Manchester city got additional strength after Kevin and Haaland recovered from the injuries they suffered.

After having Harry Kane, Bayern Munich looks stronger. I can understand if Tuchel really wants to win UCL trophy. But he must be aware that there are some big teams in UCL that also have ambitious coaches. Man City is also trying to win UCL in a row, they want to make e another record in UCL. Guardiola is the coach that very capable to achieve the dream. Moreover, Man City will play with full teams again after the injured players have recovered.

So, it is not impossible if Atletico can beat Inter in the current round.

Yes Inter Milan are one of the teams performing well this season, in the domestic league they now lead the points table with only 1 defeat and 3 draws from the 22 matches they have played. Not only that, they can also win big matches there, one of which is their victory when meeting Juventus recently. With that, they deserve to be a team to be reckoned with in this Champions League, along with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
But to be able to realize all that, their journey is still very long, they must first get rid of the opponents they will face, one of which is Atletico Madrid who they will face in the round of 16.
Last season they managed to be in the final which I think their performance last season was not as good as their performance this season. If based on that, obviously I would prefer to say this season they are more worthy of being in the final. But the problem is that other teams are also improving now.

Well, it's natural that PSG is more favored than Real Socidedad in this Champions League round of 16 meeting.

Well PSG might be performing below expectations in the UCL tournament, but if you compare both teams you'll see that they got a more better and expensive club filled with quality players other than Mbappé, they've got a squad capable of being victorious against Sociedad that's not even among the best in their league and barely win trophies. Moreover PSG got a coach that's got experience in the Laliga and should be able to figure out how to beat Sociedad easily.

 Well-motivated doubt Sociedad have been in a good performance from they group stage, they might be the mediocre team among both but they shouldn't be estimated cause we've seen them perform very brilliant against bigger teams in other stages of the tournament and if PSG doesn't not step up their UCL performance we could see that repeat again cause Real Sociedad are not a club to be underestimated.
