UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Rengga Jati]

In the second half, Real Madrid and Leipzig will both try to score goals so they can feel a little safer when facing the match in the second leg. But in today's Champions League match I prefer the match played by Manchester City because in the first half alone Manchester City was able to score two goals with one goal in return from Copenhagen. So Manchester City's match looks like it will be much more exciting in the second half than Real Madrid's today.

Although Real Madrid has more ball possession, but they must try harder to pass Leipzig defenders.
And unfortunately, in the second half, Leipzig was more offensive than Real Madrid. Real Madrid seemed quite difficult to attack the Leipzig defense and failed several times. This is quite worrying because I thought Real Madrid would win without experiencing much difficulty, but it turns out that Leipzig can be quite troublesome too. If it's like this, even though Real Madrid is ahead, this is still quite worrying. Real Madrid must be able to turn things around and further increase the effectiveness of their attacks, so that at least they can add another goal for the sake of the aggregate later.
This time, Leipzig vs Real Madrid is still 0 - 1

On the other hand, Man City is also leading from Copenhagen. The score for this moment is still 1 - 2

Manchester City has just scored the 2nd goal, it seems they want to secure their position in the second leg. Manchester City controlled the match from all sides and I'm sure they will score 1 or 2 more goals.

Manchester City are the stronger Team and they have shoot 14 times on the goal and there are more chances to come. I also believe that more goals will be scored. There are still 30 minutes to play and City will win the game. The second match is on March 6 and they will win that too, then they go in the round to the last eight of the Champions League. Big and important teams are still there and Real Madrid scored the 1-0, they will probably play in the final this year.

[Silence Scream]

Manchester City had the ball but Copenhagen tried to defend well. City found opportunities again in the first 10 minutes and the first goal came in the 11th minute. De Bruyne's return took City up a level. His harmony with Foden is perfect.
After the goal, Copenhagen's resistance will decrease and City will be able to get more opportunities. City wants to get an advantageous score from the first match and advance to the next round. Copenhagen had a disadvantage because their own league wasn't played, this became clear. It will be a smooth round of 16 pass for City.

Copenhagen are playing absentees in the match. They still managed to score 1-2 and score one goal. If they can stop Manchester City at 2 and score one more goal, they can make the miracle happen. Even a draw is a good score for Copenhagen. Real managed to take the lead in the other match. Brahim Diaz's goal put Real ahead in Germany. I expect more goals in the rest of the match because the match is lively.

As I've said before, this is likely to be a tough match with few goals scored. Because after all, Real Madrid is also playing without Bellingham due to injury but indeed, even so at least Real Madrid still has good dominance in this match . But still, although Real Madrid can still play well but ya, the reality is that Leipzig also does not play badly at all . Therefore, I believe that there will not be many goals scored in this match, even if they do manage to score but the end result may only be a narrow victory like one goal or maybe even a draw.

On the first half match, actually Real Madrid not really dominance how difficult scoring goals and created many attempt, the host team RB Leipzig get dominance the match looking how many success shots on target than Real Madrid difficult for playing more aggressive due huge pressure from RB Leipzig player. Real Madrid less offensive games play seems after Jude Bellingham injury, in attacking midfielder, Brahim Diaz performed not really well and he less get chance for scoring goals.

The attacking line of Real Madrid on the first half their performance not really quit well where Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz still get difficult how to get opportunity for scoring.
I am waiting Real Madrid's second half performance are there any possibility scoring one or two goals as capital for second leg match?

I think it's still safe to assume Real Madrid will play a more offensive game during the second half. The first half did not live up to expectations even though Real Madrid made several attempts to score. The first half ended goalless and both teams had their chances. Real Madrid, with all its superior squad and experience, has a higher chance of winning the match, even if Real Madrid falls behind its opponent.

Without Jude Bellingham it wouldn't actually be a big problem, but Belligham could have a big impact on Real Madrid's attack scheme. Right now Brahim Diaz proved his quality when he gained trust, he scored a goal and put Real Madrid 0-1 ahead of Leipzig.

One can see that Real Madrid are at the top of their game right now, being able to face and beat Girona in the last fixture and getting ready to beat Leipzig in this match.

Brahim did a wonderful job there, trying to make up for the absence of Jude Bellingham with a goal already. That is a good alternative to Jude in his absence.

In this Champions League, every club has tried as much as they could at this point. However, some clubs are not as strong as others, and that is why they've been displaced so far. Leipzig is one club that I would also appreciate because I didn't expect that they would be this forward-coming at this time.

Looking at the last match they had with Real Madrid in the fixtures, they were able to win three to two against Real Madrid. But I doubt that is going to happen again tonight because Real Madrid is already leading with one goal and would like to make up with more using the likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, or Valverde.

Real Madrid is in a good form although they missed some players because of injury problem. Real Madrid only has 1 available center back, Nacho. Other center backs are absent, they can't play in this match. Luckily, Ancelotti has Aurélien Tchouaméni who wants to play in that position. And he can play as a center back very well.

Brahim did a wonderful job there, trying to make up for the absence of Jude Bellingham with a goal already. That is a good alternative to Jude in his absence.

This man has a very interesting potential, he plays aggressively. I'm happy that Ancelotti gives him more times to play. When Bellingham can't play, Diaz can be a good replacement. He proves it by scoring a goal in this match.

Looking at the last match they had with Real Madrid in the fixtures, they were able to win three to two against Real Madrid.

What do you, mate?
I guess there is something wrong with your statement. 

[lalabotax]

This is a day that is highly anticipated because after all, the matches in the Champions League are starting to take place. The opening matches are Man City vs Copenhagen and Real Madrid vs Leipzig. Most of us are sure that Man City and Real Madrid will win this match. But the results will be fine. Moreover, Real Madrid, they competed without Bellingham, right? He suffered an injury. So, this might be a little difficult for Real Madrid. Thankfully they are already ahead 0 - 1. But what can we do, they should be able to score more goals.

Even a draw is a good score for Copenhagen. Real managed to take the lead in the other match. Brahim Diaz's goal put Real ahead in Germany. I expect more goals in the rest of the match because the match is lively.

There was no other choice for Copenhagen other than to play defensively and maximize opportunities when counter-attacking. Manchester City dominated this match too much even though they actually didn't score more than 2 goals so far. Copenhagen's defense in the second half was much more closed and they looked good defensively, but Manchester City will never be comfortable with a 1-2 score like this.

Real Madrid also performed well in the away match against Leipzig. This is an impressive match, especially because Leipzig also doesn't want to lose at home. The score of 0-1 still remained before the match ended, but Leipzig was still trying to avoid defeat and so far they have good statistics. Leipzig haven't had much luck, but let's see until the end of the game.

The game is over and just only one goal which was scored by Brahim Diaz was the only goal in the match. Real Madrid have seven straight win currently in the champions league.

Leipzig tried their best in the match but they weren't lucky enough to find the back if the next as Real Madrid goalkeeper deprived them from scoring any goal. The second leg will be in Real Madrid home, and I expect to see more goals on that day.

Manchester City had a comfortable match comparing to Real Madrid. In fact Copenhagen barely made a threat and they had only few attacks. Manchester City were able to score 3 goals and almost securing a spot for the next round. Anyway the second leg will be easier and home for them.
Real Madrid now won with only one goal difference with an injury for their player Diaz who was expected to replace Bellingham. Real Madrid are suffering from injuries in all lines!

[Coyster]

A very professional performance from City and a well deserved victory, City controlled the game from start to finish and they were basically unlucky not to have won by more and kept a clean sheet, but they would take the 3-1 win back to the Etihad and they already have one foot in the QF of the CL.

Having said that, make no mistake that Copenhagen is a very good team, and it was not an easy win, the thing is just that City have so much quality and it is almost impossible to stop them when they are in this sort of winning mood, the rest of the teams in the CL and EPL must be worried about the menacing form of City, they are out to defend their titles.

Copenhagen's defense in the second half was much more closed and they looked good defensively, but Manchester City will never be comfortable with a 1-2 score like this.

Copenhagen is used to defensive style of play since in their group stage matches, they are usually it a team that play possession football, they only focus on any counter attack they have to make their goals from them, but Manchester narrowed them to only one short on goal today.

This is almost a straight hope for City, they are almost in the quarter final stage because I don’t think Copenhagen is good to score more than one goal away from home against team like Manchester City.

Real Madrid also performed well in the away match against Leipzig. This is an impressive match, especially because Leipzig also doesn't want to lose at home. The score of 0-1 still remained before the match ended, but Leipzig was still trying to avoid defeat and so far they have good statistics. Leipzig haven't had much luck, but let's see until the end of the game.

The match ended 0-1. Away team Real Madrid won the match, but the match is a 50/50 match because Leipzig is always a strong opposition to Real Madrid. If Leipzig can do more in the second Leg, they can qualify because some of the Real Madrid players are injured.

City played impressively tonight and they showed and acted like the defending champions on the field against their host Copenhagen who also tried their best to put in a good performance so that they can stop City from achieving victory ove r them, but it was impossible because City cannot be stopped due to the high quality players that are in the club. I have automatically given City qualification to the next round, and I hope to see who City will be playing in the next round because it is clear that City wiill achieve victory in Etihad Stadium during the return leg.

Talking about RB Leipzig vs. Real Madrid game, RB Leipzig is not a soft opponent for Real Madrid to win with widespread margins like that of Manchester city's game, they “RB Leipzig” are in the 5th position in the German Bundesliga League, won Bayern Munich in a cup competition and are inform in their last couple of games they played so far, let alone playing host in the today's match. So Real Madrid even tried, else RB Leipzig would have held them in goalless without that Real showed superior over them, it wasn't such a bad game for Madrid despite the score line and what matters in a game is that 3 points, period.

In fact, it was a fairly even game and, according to statistics, Leipzig even has an advantage:

Shots - 15:15
Shots on target - 9:3
Corners - 7:3

But this is Real Madrid and in my opinion this is a typical result of a hard-working underdog against a favorite who doesn’t try very hard. Real's minimal victory leaves some space for a return game, but the point is that Real will play at full strength in the home game.
As for the Copenhagen - City game, everything is clear and there is nothing to comment on. I don’t understand why everyone is praising City, as if the result could have been different.

This is almost a straight hope for City, they are almost in the quarter final stage because I don’t think Copenhagen is good to score more than one goal away from home against team like Manchester City.

Yes, after Manchester City closed the first half with a 1-2 lead, Copenhagen seemed to have no hope of winning the match. Manchester City dominated the entire pitch and they really locked the game down without giving Copenhagen much space to build attacks. Of course, Manchester City has a big chance of qualifying for the next round without too many obstacles from Copenhagen, so a ticket to the quarter-finals seems to be in their hands.

Manchester City made 27 shots and 13 of them were on target, but unfortunately Haaland did not score in this match. De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden were the determinants of Manchester City's victory in this match, they are well on their way to qualifying easily.

The match ended 0-1. Away team Real Madrid won the match, but the match is a 50/50 match because Leipzig is always a strong opposition to Real Madrid. If Leipzig can do more in the second Leg, they can qualify because some of the Real Madrid players are injured.

It's true, Leipzig had many opportunities to score goals, but until the match ended they were really unlucky. The second leg will be crucial, but Real Madrid have home advantage which is unlikely to allow Leipzig to dominate.

Manchester City had the ball but Copenhagen tried to defend well. City found opportunities again in the first 10 minutes and the first goal came in the 11th minute. De Bruyne's return took City up a level. His harmony with Foden is perfect.
After the goal, Copenhagen's resistance will decrease and City will be able to get more opportunities. City wants to get an advantageous score from the first match and advance to the next round. Copenhagen had a disadvantage because their own league wasn't played, this became clear. It will be a smooth round of 16 pass for City.

I would like to note Foden, an extremely successful season for him, he is becoming an important player in Guardiola’s team, and their combination with De Bruyne is working very well. An early goal opens up new opportunities for City, now Copenhagen is obliged to go on the attack and thereby will leave opportunities for the City in attack, I think we will still see a goal from City today.

We don't know what's going to happen in the Champions League and the next games but I think we know some teams like Manchester City are very much dependent to some players like De Bruyne. For example, during this tournament, if De Bruyne gets injured Macnshter City has to play against a strong team in an important match they literally don't have any backup plan to fill his place in the team.

[nelson4lov]

I totally forgot that today is a UCL night and almost missed the games. I managed to watch the entirely of City's first half which I would say both teams were well matched but City had the edge due to the brilliance of KDB (again). My biggest regret however, is the fact that I was unaware of the Real Madrid  odds vs Leipzig. It was 2+ solid odds and I would've made some good money today. But that notwithstanding, there's PSG and Bayern tomorrow. Bayern is coming from a humiliating defeat to Leverkusen last weekend and will want to make a big statement against Lazio. PSG, if Mbappe starts, should be high flying.

[rahmad2nd]

Copenhagen are playing absentees in the match. They still managed to score 1-2 and score one goal. If they can stop Manchester City at 2 and score one more goal, they can make the miracle happen. Even a draw is a good score for Copenhagen.

This match matches my predictions, if the Over 2.75 goals option is the ideal option to choose a bet between Copenhagen and Manchester City. according to what most of the community predicted, City would beat Copenhagen in the first leg. especially when referring to the course of this match. Manchester City controls 79% percent of ball possession. 27 total shots, 13 shots on target, 6 big chances, 1 shot hit the goalpost.

Based on technical matters, Manchester City actually performed much better than the hosts. unfortunately, they only converted 3 opportunities into goals in this match. in this match, Pep Guardiola used a 4-2-3-1 pattern. De Bruyne, Phil Foden played very impressively. unfortunately, Haaland was unable to score a goal. plus, it looks like Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva are having injury problems. referring to the home team, Copenhagen was unable to provide resistance in this match. however, at least the home team was able to score 1 goal as a consolation goal. with this result, City only needs to beat their match again when they host Copenhagen in the second leg to advance to the next phase.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Manchester city's game is such a magical game from de bruyne. This guy is so crazy as fuck. I meant look at how he was creating two magical assist which is very very accurate. His shoot is also having good power combined with accuracy. No doubt that if pep was extending his contract much longer.
Im seeing de bruyne like someone who can also play the game perfectly. There will be no team who can prevent city as long as de bruyne was there. His assist was so amazing and very accurate. I never seen that the player that has a very good accurate like him. Copenhagen has no hope anymore to win against city.
The match in the etihad stadium is going to be even tougher than before. Im feeling so happy my prediction was right if city will be winning the game along with real madrid. It's such an ez win for both of clubs. Im sorry to say that if leipzig and copenhagen will be leaving from UCL soon.
These clubs are facing very hard match for the second leg. Brahim diaz's solo reminds me with messi LOL. I saw him has similar dribbling compared to the messi. This can guy can be developed even further. Im hoping madrid and city will be destroying its opponent when they will be playing away.

[bering]

The result is really according to people prediction that Manchester City without any problem can overcomes FC Copenhagen and taking initiative to playing attacking since the beginning of match Manchester City can leading the game in the first half by De Bruyne goal but FC Copenhagen player can equalized the scores by utilized Ederson mistakes but Bernardo Silva has successfully to make Manchester City leading the game again and in the second half Copenhagen is really playing with under pressure which make they unable to develop their game and with this result i think it's done for Copenhagen because for second leg the match will be held at  Etihad stadium and there is no chance for Copenhagen to win at there

Real Madrid have to hard struggling to beat Leipzig because surprisingly Leipzig can able to make Real Madrid get in trouble that since the beginning of match Leipzig didn't displayed defensive style because they also attempts to playing attacking and probably if Andriy Lunin didn't performing well i think Real Madrid most likely will be lost because during the match i have seen at least Lunin can made 3 crucial saves which makes Real Madrid defensive lines still not conceded until the match ended
