UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Despairo]

Smooth sailing for Man City. Copenhagen just wasn't a match for them, the Danish team is not in its peak form, even in their league they lost 3 out of the last 5 games.

City is a massive favourite to win the Champions League. Odds are as follows:



Of course this will change after next week's 2nd leg games are completed. I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal moved to the top spot. They are having an absolutely great time in the Premier League, scoring an average of 4.8 goals per game in their last 5 league games. And that's including defeating Liverpool 3-1.

Manchester City is very overrated here, I feel like the odds is too low when the risk really high, there are so many factors Manchester City might even flop and not able to enter into final. While the other teams are worth to bet, but I'd choose either Real Madrid or Inter Milan, while Bayern Munich and Arsenal seems not convincing to become a champion.

The way Leipzig's players performed in Real Madrid's home match is absolutely commendable. Leipzig's players really played well in this match, and I would say that Leipzig's players performed better than Madrid's.
However, Real Madrid qualified for the quarter-finals. Performance in Madrid is still very stable. Madrid players are in a good rhythm. Real Madrid will not face any obstacles in winning the La Liga title. Now Ancelotti will try his best for the Champions League title.

Yeah they could able to score 2 goals, but they're unlucky. Real Madrid wasn't playing really well in this match.

leipzig vs real madrid

Very disappointed with the result.

Manchester city vs copenhagen

Yeah city win again and it's all predicted.

Well, I do not think it’s so disappointing for Real Madrid, considering the fact that they won the tie on aggregate and are onto the next round alongside English side Manchester city. With several core injuries, Ancelotti is leading the Madrid team well

It was a disappointing result for Real Madrid because they couldn't beat Leipzig at Santiago Bernabeu. If it were the UEFA Champions League finals, this is how Real Madrid could have played with Leipzig. Real Madrid is just lucky to qualify for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal after their match with Leipzig ended in a draw. 

[Dzwaafu11]

I predicted an easy win for Real Madrid against the Red Bull team in the 2nd leg in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the top team in La Liga while Leipzig is struggling in Bundesliga but the game between them were completely different from what I expected. It's not a 1-1 draw because of a lucky or counter offensive goal, Leipzig was playing better than Real Madrid in most of it. Real Madrid did win the knockout due to lead in Red Bull Arena. They were thought to favourite team for the Champions league title but now they seem to be defeatable.
On another knockout Manchester City defeated the Copenhagen as expected.

The Real Madrid performance surprises me. I don't really think they will play a draw with Leipzig because Leipzig is not in good form. They are struggling to get things done, even in the Bundesliga. Although when a weak team comes to play with a big team, you will see that sometimes the weak team becomes strong and most times they dominate the match, so that even if the big team scores, it should not be too much. But in the case of Real Madrid and Leipzig, I think Leipzig is not only lucky to win, but they did their best and played well in that match because Real Madrid was not doing what people expect. I also expect something more from them.

For Manchester City and Copenhagen, I think it is not something we can be surprised by if Manchester City win because we know that Manchester City is stronger than them.

I'm really interested in knowing what tuchel's suggestions to his club on achieving success against lazio. I know that Bayern's performance has gotten way worse since last season, when it was just terrible. When the club couldn't do even better in the bundesliga.
But man, Lazio's game was just not good at all. They couldn't compete with Bayern. Bayern was too good in that match, which helped their performance.

The win over Lazio saved tuchel's job, glad to see bayern used different methods in that match. I hope Bayern will go all out on their opponents every game, and the players did an amazing job in that quick victory against lazio.

I think Bayern Munich should do some evaluation now that the battle must go on. They did great in their recent game, but they're gonna face a real test soon. To take on such a tough club, Bayern needs to be well-prepared.
The gameplay of bayern is not monotone in last match. The club was able exploring more chances to score with better executions.

Of course, Thomas Tuchel has prepared a good strategy in this second leg to counterattack and the strategy that Tuchel prepared was successful. In fact, I am also not surprised by this result because it is certain that Bayern Munich will be the one who will qualify for the next round and not Lazio. It was quite difficult for Lazio to challenge Bayern Munich even though they took the lead in the first leg, but that was not enough to seal their victory.

Yes, at least this time Tuchel can breathe a sigh of relief because his club was able to qualify for the next round and managed to get rid of Lazio with their recent bad results. Likewise, Lazio has also played badly in its domestic league recently, so it was quite an easy opportunity for Bayern Munich in that match so Lazio had to go home feeling disappointed because they failed to beat Bayern Munich or maximize their draw.

Bayern Munich may be happy now because it has completed its mission in the round of 16 but the next challenge will be an increasingly difficult challenge, no longer an underdog club but Bayern Munich will face a big club which of course has good experience in the Champions League, we don't know who the opponent will be and I I can't wait for the next Champions League match which will be even more exciting and tense.

I agree with the table display above where the big 4 strong candidates include Manchester City, Bayern, Madrid and Arsenal. Well, for Arsenal, I will not underestimate them this season, who have made slight improvements in a positive direction. But because in Leg 1 they were behind against Porto, in Leg 2 they will carry a heavy burden. If they succeed in turning things around, perhaps what I hope will materialize as part of the strong candidates this season joining Manchester City, Bayern and Madrid. We also still have Inter and PSG both as unexpected options because they are both strong and experiencing positive trends this season.

Actually I partially agree with the first  top five teams, but I don't actually think arsenal is better than inter Milan, so in my opinion, inter Milan should had been ahead of them, and of a truth, this arsenal team is quite good, but we need to understand that experience is an important player after quality in a competition like this, and Arsenal we all know have that tendency of not being reliable in major competition especially in the champions league and I don't really sees them going as far as the semi final stage of this competition, because experience is very important, and that is what this particular arsenal team lack.

It looks like I would also rule out Arsenal and replace them with Inter in 4th place and then PSG in 5th place. There is no harm in letting Arsenal fill position 6 with its performance so far and it does not rule out the possibility of providing different competition. It all depends on how determined a team like Arsenal is to make history.

The 4 big teams are waiting in the quarter-finals, one of them, like Barcelona and Napoli, who played to a draw, had to use all their energy in Leg 2. Inter clearly had to bet harder at home to Atletico Madrid because this was a difficult task to come out with 3 points. Dortmund vs PSV, maybe 50:50, is not the candidate you expect to be in the semifinals.

I would guess a great deal of gamblers lost money because of the poor result Real Madrid got against Leipzig, because even if they were able to move to the next round, this is not really the performance that we were expecting out of a team that is looking to win the UCL, especially when their rivals were able to get convincing wins during the second leg, so Real Madrid better get their act together or they may lose their chance at getting the title.

I also thought that about Real Madrid after seeing the results of Real Madrid's matches and also the results of the matches of the team that won the Champions League trophy last season. Even though the levels of the teams they were playing against were also very different, at least Real Madrid were able to score more than one goal, even though just one could have taken them to the next round of the Champions League. I think Manchester City will still be a strong candidate in the Champions League this season if you look at the way they have played which is still quite good so far.

My hopes for Real Madrid were initially quite high. But after seeing this match I really lowered my hopes for Real Madrid. Because it seems that with their current performance, winning the UCL title will be quite difficult. Unless they are able to restore their best performance in the upcoming match in the quarter-finals.

Until now, Man City is still a big hope as the strongest candidate in the UCL to win the title again. But we must first see how the results of the second leg matches of the other teams in the last 16 are still remaining.

Even the match they will play in Spain is very risky for Inter. They may lose and be eliminated in Spain. Arsenal will play a similarly risky match. I think it is right to compare the two teams we mentioned with each other while there is a possibility of elimination. not. Let them pass the eliminations and then we will compare. Assuming that both teams qualify, I think Inter is better, but the EPL experience that Arsenal has is a great advantage.

I also predicted that Real Madrid would win easily because they were playing in front of their own supporters, so I bet on Real Madrid, but in reality, on the contrary, they were held to a draw by Leipzig. In my opinion, this is Madrid's worst performance in recent times, they underestimated their opponent, in this case the Leipzig team. In fact, if we look at Bundasliga Leipzig throughout the season they appear like this playing solidly, they only lack front line players.

Even though Real Madrid has qualified for the next round, if they play like this I doubt Real Madrid can reach the top, namely the final of the UCL League this season. Ancelotti needs to learn from this match, where when the team experiences a deadlock he must have a reliable strategy to break the deadlock.

The Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig match was a bit interesting and dramatic because the visiting team was able to score a goal back until the score was a 1-1 draw. Leipzig's performance was extraordinary in this match, they were also able to press by creating several opportunities in the remaining time. Real Madrid was very lucky because there were no additional goals from Leipzig in this match so Madrid qualified for the quarter-finals with an aggregate of 2-1.
The results of this match were very far from initial expectations, Real Madrid, which was expected to be able to dominate the match by winning by more than one goal, actually had to try hard to withstand attacks from Leipzig. The victory in the first leg meant that Real Madrid succeeded in eliminating Leipzig from this competition, but it will be difficult for Real Madrid to compete with PSG, Bayern Munich and Manchester City if their goal productivity does not increase.

[rendravolt]

I have to admit that Real Madrid played very badly last night and often their defense was easily penetrated by the Leipzig players, but luckily Andrey Lunin was alert in blocking the ball so it didn't go into the net. Even though in the end Real Madrid conceded one goal, that result was not enough for Leipzig to win on aggregate over Real Madrid. If Vinicius didn't score in this match, it's possible the result would be a draw so it would go to extra time and I watched the process of this goal from a quick counter-attack led by Kross then Bellingham provided an assist for Vinicius to score.

It's very strange to see Ancelotti's formation in a decisive match like this and seeing Bellingham acting as a false 9 is quite risky. The reason is that Bellingham is used to being a box to box midfielder and this time he stepped out of his role according to Ancelotti's new tactics. Valverde also seems to be a winger and LMF to support attacks and this strategy is not suitable and quite different from what happened last season when Valverde was often placed in this position by Ancelotti. Ancelotti should have used his usual strategy by pairing Vinicius and Rodrygo in the attack line and Bellingham as an attacking midfielder, I think that is much more effective in attracting opposing defenders.

Despite all that, Real Madrid deserved to qualify for the quarterfinals even though it was quite difficult playing at home and for Leipzig they have to try to return to the champions league next season.

Correct. I'm also sure that before this match started, many gamblers were betting that Real Madrid could beat Leipzig, not without reason because the match was played at the Santiago Bernabeu. But unfortunately, in this match Real Madrid caused many gamblers to lose their bets.

It must be admitted, in this match Ancelotti almost made a blunder because he underestimated his opponent, while the visiting team played very well in that match. Luckily for Real Madrid, with this draw they still qualified for the next round. In the future, Ancelotti must change tactics and not use tactics like that again because it was clear that in that match Jude Belingham seemed confused, Jude Belingham's movements were also unclear so it would not be surprising if he looked tired and was pulled out by Ancelotti. Real Madrid must really improve the quality of their game, because the problem is that the opponents they will face in the last eight are getting stronger and the opponent could be Manchester City.

[execijutiere]

City won the first leg 3-1 away and then 3-1 at home in the second leg to win 6-2 on aggregate. Copenhagen were no match for them and frankly I think it was a great success for them that Copenhagen made it this far. There were 4 goals in the match and all 4 goals came in the first half.
In the other match of the day, Real Madrid was not defeated as I expected. I expected Leipzig to score goals in this match and they did. They still fought with all their might compared to their opponents, but the difference is obvious.

I think there is nothing wrong with Madrid performance this season, because so far they have been very consistent in achieving positive results in the league and Champions League, if you think Madrid decline in performance just because they were not able to win by a big score against Leipzig yesterday of course it is wrong, what we see now is how they win not the number of goals that are the benchmark,  Playing in the Champions League will be very different to the atmosphere of the domestic league and you know that, every team that plays in the Champions League both small and big teams will definitely give their all in the Champions League regardless if they are in bad form in the league.


Successfully qualifying Madrid to the last 8 of the Champions League adds to Ancelotti chances of being able to juxtapose two trophies at the end of the season, besides that I think we cannot underestimate Madrid this season to be able to win the Champions League again even when all the big teams will gather in the round of 8, Madrid long journey in the Champions League so far has shown their capacity as one of the best teams in the world today, and I'm pretty sure if Madrid can reach the final maybe with Manchester City, PSG or maybe Intermilan later.

Real Madrid know what to do so there is no need to worry, despite a draw but they have gained a place in the next stage
I believe Real Madrid has more ability but in this match they didn't activate it maybe they have the reason
As usual the favorite teams have taken part in the next round and there are no surprises.

Leipzig were really good yesterday, they moved faster and they had a lot of desire to win this match. A draw was enough for Real, so they did not force things and achieved the result they needed. It was clear that Leipzig's players were faster, and when Real's players couldn't keep up with them, they simply fouled, and there were many such episodes. When you get too carried away with attack, there will always be gaps in defense, Real took advantage of this.

Not sure about PSG reaching the final but Man City and Inter Milan are still very likely to make it back to the final.

It's normal for Real Madrid to struggle a bit in the last 16 but when they're in the last 8 it's a serious game from Real Madrid, maybe tonight's result was a bit disappointing because they didn't win at home but their chances are still wide open and when facing any team Real Madrid will always be ready to beat the opponent.

Remember, I don't doubt Real Madrid in the slightest they still deserve to go to the champions league final, maybe they will meet early with Manchester City or in the final?

If it were the UEFA Champions League finals, this is how Real Madrid could have played with Leipzig. Real Madrid is just lucky to qualify for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal after their match with Leipzig ended in a draw.

This match did look a little disappointing for Real Madrid fans, because they were playing at home and they should have won this match with a good result, but they only played a draw. However, in my opinion, this draw is not a big problem for Real Madrid, because Real Madrid won 2-1 on aggregate from Leipzig and Real Madri still remains in first place in Group C.

In the other match of the day, Real Madrid was not defeated as I expected. I expected Leipzig to score goals in this match and they did. They still fought with all their might compared to their opponents, but the difference is obvious.

Manchester City did not even use their main lineup to play Copenhagen. This allows the club to beat it with high scores as well. The quality of the squad informed us of the distinctions between City and Copenhagen. Copenhagen's primary squad was no match for Manchester City's secondary squad.
City usually gave really strong results for bettors, which is why I chose to pick City in UCL. It was constantly winning with high scores, and the club's constancy made winning money on our bet easier.

The lineup surprised me because the city had chosen to field fewer secondary squad players than Copenhagen. This is a fantastic development from Manchester City, and it shows that even the secondary squad showed huge improvement.

Real Madrid's performance was a disappointment for many bettors, especially considering it was a home game that ended with draw. It was making so many bettors were scrumbled with their bets.
Real Madrid struggled to score more than one goal, which was insane. Bettors who had chosen Madrid likely watched the game with all of their emotions. It's because Madrid delivered a very negative result for the team.

Ancellotti should enhance his club as quickly as feasible. Serious preparation is absolutely necessary for the approaching encounter.

[emrecemsan]

Real Madrid were really in trouble yesterday.    Because their way of play was really problematic. They were quite weak at defending against Leipzig in the first place. They were just lucky that Leipzig wasted many of them so generously. I can't even imagine the potential result if they faced a much more capable opponent. 

The interesting part is Real Madrid played worse than the time they didn't have Bellingham. You know that he was injured in the time of the first leg but they still won that match. I can't say their game was impressive there either though.    If they continue to play the same I won't be very positive about their title chance.

Well the match was very tough for real madrid last night, if not for the sake that real madrid hosted leipzig I think the match would have end up in a very shocking way.but instead they ended in a drew, I think is not a bad result for real madrid because they qualified to the next stage in the UEFA champion league.
