UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[MusaMohamed]

I didn't think Porto could play this well. Even they can make it difficult for Arsenal. The possession of the ball is also not much different, which means that Porto also plays open. It even seems that Porto play more effectively, he can make 3 shots on target while Arsenal can only 4 shots on target. Of course, this victory destroyed the bad tradition of failing to enter the quarterfinals. They had to wait 14 years to enter the quarterfinals.

You thought wrongly even Porto played well in the first match and won over Arsenal. Porto proved your thinking is wrong by the second match and they only lost it with penalties.

It's a good performance from Arsenal and this winning in Champions League is an evidence that their mentality actually becomes stronger in this season. Their squad is no longer a group of youth and inexperienced players. With growth in quality and mentality, Arsenal are more ready to achieve big things. Maybe they will not be able to win Champions League but in Premier League, this winning keeps a light up that they are able to win England domestic league.

UEFA champions league barcelona vs napoli showed their best performance, barcelona confirmed the quarter finals. Although this match between Napoli and Barcelona was full of excitement and there were great attacks between the two teams, the match was very competitive. And we saw that the game played between the two teams in the first leg was a draw even though the two teams were level on points. However, with a great performance in the second leg, Barcelona scored three goals to win and book their place in the UEFA Champions League. 4-2 goal win secured Barcelona a place in the quarter-finals, and if Barcelona can put up their best performances in this Champions League, they will certainly be in contention for the title.

Literally, porto was as strong as arsenal. Just because it came from an unpopular league but you were also underestimating it. Porto is able playing equally against arsenal but the main problem if porto's players are so badl in executing the penalty. I have watched the whole game and porto was always getting golden chances to score. The only main problem if porto was not even doing it. It was also making the situation even more difficult at the second half. Arsenal got some chances but this club missed it all. The same thing is also happening with porto which has got many chances but club missed it all.

Arsenal was almost losing if it fails in the penalty . Porto's player completelly failed in executing the penalty and it was also making the situation even more difficult for the mentality of porto players. The failed execution happened from porto has been also helping arsenal to win the penalty.
It's starting with porto's players have very big burden after their teammates failed to execute the penalty. Porto's goal keeper was also very weak in doing this too. He was always unable predicting the direction from the ball.

Even there was a moment when the goal keeper of porto being so lazy in blocking the ball. I

Yes, I agree with you and the opinion you say is very reasonable because a penalty shootout can always change things for the worse or for the better for both clubs.
Porto, who managed to play away from home without conceding a large number of goals and ended in a penalty shootout, was the right strategy for Porto when they were unable to beat Arsenal, preferring to use a defensive strategy and end the draw to enter the penalty round, but the difficulty was with the Porto goalkeeper.
These two clubs both have equal performance, but as I said, a penalty shootout can change the situation of both clubs and it looks like Porto this season is not lucky even though they have used the right strategy, but the club has to fall and leave this competition.

I totally agree to your sentiment bro, this arsenal team have actually matured, if not, the kind of performance put in by fc Porto, if it's was arsenal team of the past, they would have confidently beat arsenal especially in this second leg.


And as for arsenal going all the way? I really don't think they have what it takes to go all the way, they have the quality, but they don't have the experience required, because in the champions league, experience and quality is vital for you to be crown champions.

And now there are two matches left for the second leg of the round of 16. Namely the Dortmund vs PSV match and the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match. I have favorites for these two matches, namely Inter Milan and PSV. I actually want to favor the home teams like Atletico Madrid and Dortmund. But I see that these two teams are less consistent in their respective domestic leagues. Meanwhile, PSV is extraordinary in their domestic league because they are unbeaten in the Eredivisie.

Although Napoli was also a strong team, it was just that Barcelona had more experience than them. If not, Napoli also played a nice game yesterday, and they ended up losing two more goals to cut all the long discussion short. I will say a very big congratulations to Barcelona, as they imagine being in the quarterfinals, where they will face Bayern Munich. We also know it will be another challenging event, and we still look forward to seeing which of them goes back home in the quarterfinals. 

This was a truly convincing victory for Barca. As I predicted, Barca will choose to play overwhelmingly at home. They actively controlled the ball and put pressure on Napoli's half of the field. And when they had 2-goal lead, Barca proactively gave the field to Napoli, choosing to play deep and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. And this strategy worked effectively when Lewandowski scored to increase the score to 3-1, giving Barca a very convincing victory.
This victory is extremely meaningful as this is the first time in 3 years they have reached the UCL quarterfinals. I feel like Barca players played better after Xavi announced his departure. In this win, it was notable that 17-year-old young player Pau Cubarsi. Even though he had to face an excellent striker like Victor Osimhen, Curbasi did not waver. He coordinated well with Araujo to help Barca stand firm against Napoli. And he also received the best player of the match award.

Porto is not a team that should be underestimated and underestimated, the Portuguese representative has a brilliant history in the Champions League. Arsenal is of course not so easy to beat Porto as many people say. It must be admitted that the Gunners were confused by the strategy implemented by Sergio Conceicao, the hosts were forced to play until extra time so they had to go to a penalty shootout. But unfortunately Porto had to be eliminated in the "fight of fate" round and gave up their quarter-final ticket to Arsenal.

Because Barcelona wont win La Liga, they have to give all in the Champions League. Against Napoli they almost decided the game in the first 20 minutes, they scored two goals. In the 47th minute, there where a good chance for the 2-2, but Kvaratskhelia shot a few centimeters off the goal. Then from the 70th minute Napoli with more risk, so with the score at 2:1 they would have been out, but then Lewandowski came on and made it 3:1. Barcelona play much better in the whole game, they shot 24 times at the Napoli goal, they had many chances. Barcelona had the better series, they are currently the better team, thats why they won.

 Arsenal have moved on to the next round which is the quarter finals after a very lengthy but interesting 120 mins of football plus penalty shootout and I must say of the two sides, the Gunners deserved to win it. In the first leg all Arsenal did was to hold possession and create chances that could not find the net and this got the coach of Porto, Sergio Conceicão to mock them by saying " Arsenal came to play but they came to win".
Granted, the Portuguese side are good at defensive play and that was what they were bent on doing throughout the game,  occasionally switching pattern to threaten the Gunners defense but mainly retreating to man their walls.
 The goal by Leandro Trossard was enough to shake their confidence and they began making mistakes and I observed that despite being a team good at defense, they sucked greatly at penalty shootout and although some will say they were a worthy opponent strong enough to drag the game to penalties, I'd say they were just average.

And now there are two matches left for the second leg of the round of 16. Namely the Dortmund vs PSV match and the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match. I have favorites for these two matches, namely Inter Milan and PSV. I actually want to favor the home teams like Atletico Madrid and Dortmund. But I see that these two teams are less consistent in their respective domestic leagues. Meanwhile, PSV is extraordinary in their domestic league because they are unbeaten in the Eredivisie.

The 4 remaining teams still has equal chance to take the last 2 spots for the next stage. Although Inter won the first leg but I think Atletico will play their best in the 2nd leg. On the other match, Dortmund vs PSV is also a 50:50 game because the first leg ended with 1-1. If you take Inter and PSV will go to the next stage, I'll take the opposite . Since Dortmund and Atletico will play their own stadium in front of their fans, so I think they have more advantage in the 2nd leg. Of course it is just a prediction, these 2 matches are hard to predict because of the equal chance.

Porto is not a team that should be underestimated and underestimated, the Portuguese representative has a brilliant history in the Champions League. Arsenal is of course not so easy to beat Porto as many people say.

But unfortunately Porto had to be eliminated in the "fight of fate" round and gave up their quarter-final ticket to Arsenal.

Arsenal, which even has a very good goal productivity rate in the Premier League, apparently couldn't do much to beat Porto's defense. I think Porto and Arsenal have a balanced performance. And it is very surprising that Porto is currently only ranked 3rd in the Portuguese League. But Porto's strength is truly equivalent to Arsenal who are currently ranked at the top of the Premier League. The Portuguese League really cannot be underestimated. They improve rapidly over time.

For today's match, I hope Dortmund doesn't disappoint me. And for the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match, I'm still confused about who to favourite. Even though Inter Milan can beat Atletico in the first leg, in the second leg I don't think Inter Milan will be able to play as well as in the first leg. Maybe a draw will occur which will allow Inter Milan to still qualify for the next stage.

[Helena Yu]

It's just a fluke that Arsenal can win against Porto, first they only scored one goal instead of two or more, second they win the penalty, the biggest reason to win in penalty is by luck. Anyway I congratulate Arsenal for able to enter the next rounds, but I believe they won't going anywhere because they're already struggle to match Porto, there are many stronger teams than Porto.

The teams that have successfully qualified for the quarter-finals are
√ Bavaria
√ PSG
√ Real Madrid

√ Dortmund

Qualifies for the tonight has got to be between Inter Milan and Borrussia Dortmund. Inter Milan are off course the best side in all of Italian Seria A Competition and I believe we'll see them in action defeating Atletico Madrid yet again. Antonio Conte for the past years failed to qualify them for the round of sixteen not to talk of the quarter finals, this new coach indeed has done well and it's evident without much talks.

PSV are also good sides in the Champions League Competition but the name Dortmund within the Champions League Competition over the last few years has done much better but failed to win or do something better to qualify. Last since they did well to reacthe finals was with Jurgen Klopp managing them.

Most likely to leave the next round are Barcelona and Paris Saint Germany. Gunner's are also not who to talk about in the Champions League Competition but we cannot overlook them importance.
For Bayern Munich, I still doubt Thomas Tuchel, his players are only using experience and togetherness to win this games they come out to face.

[swogerino]

I think that whoever qualifies from tonight games this makes a nice 8 teams for the quarter finals and most probably we will see good football in these upcoming legs in the Champions League.They are all strong teams however I would definitely rule out a possible winner and that would be Real Madrid based on the most ugly of performances I have seen from them in ages in the game against Leipzig.Such football they can't go far.

Barcelona - Napoli 3-1

A great victory for Barcelona, they played totally attacking throughout the match. From the statistics I see a very good figure, 24 shots taken and 10 shots on goal. Really a good match to watch, a pity for Napoli, in the first leg they had shown that they could get the qualification, but at Camp Nou it is difficult to come out victorious

I knew Napoli could not win against Barcelona and qualify for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals because they played with Barcelona at Camp Nou. Napoli dominated Barcelona with ball possession, while Barcelona dominated Napoli with goal attempts. It is good to see struggling Barcelona reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League competition.

Then I hope you have placed some gigantic bets as you couldn't fail because you knew it. I am of the same opinion that it was not looking very good for Napoli, but it was still a draw in the first game and it meant that Barcelona had to win in order to advance to the next round. When Barcelona had a 2 goal lead, the game was essentially over, but then the same happen as in the first game and Napoli scored a goal. Afterwards the game was back and forth with more chances for Barcelona. But don't forget that they are still top teams. They may not be on the same level as the top three or four teams in the world, but they are good enough to score against anyone. In hindsight I would have liked a lot if Napoli scored the equalizer against Barcelona. It would have turned the game into an exciting dance.

I did, but it was an accumulation option, so I have to wait for the remaining clubs to play the way I predicted them to before my bet will enter. Napoli's inconsistency made it easy for Barcelona to defeat them at Camp Nou and advance to the next round of the UEFA Champions League.

I didn't think Porto could play this well. Even they can make it difficult for Arsenal. The possession of the ball is also not much different, which means that Porto also plays open. It even seems that Porto play more effectively, he can make 3 shots on target while Arsenal can only 4 shots on target. Of course, this victory destroyed the bad tradition of failing to enter the quarterfinals. They had to wait 14 years to enter the quarterfinals.

Yesterday result has silenced all our beliefs here who continue to say Arsenal will win easily over Porto at home, but in fact Arsenal almost lost hope after Conceicao fired in the 70th minute but was still able to be repelled well by Raya, both teams in my opinion played quite well in the second leg and when Arsenal were underestimated by the Porto coach before the game started,  By saying they came to win not to play possession like Arsenal, then in the second leg yesterday Arsenal showed who they really are by creating 13 chances throughout the game.

With an aggregate score of 1-1 forcing both teams to continue the match to extra time and even 2x15 minutes extra time was still not enough to determine who was the winner in the match because indeed both teams played quite well and even they looked like they did not feel tired at all after 120 minutes of the match, Raya's performance under the Arsenal goal was able to bring Arsenal through to the round of 8 after winning on penalties.
Although Porto played quite well in the game, unfortunately luck has not been on their side and I think Arsenal should be able to continue to be consistent this season and at least be able to compete for the Champions League trophy after they were underestimated.

Only 2 more places remain in the quarter-finals and they will be contested by Borussia Dortmund and PSV, as well as Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. Borussia Dortmund and PSV could only draw in the first leg they played, this result means that their chances are still the same, despite the advantage of Borussia Dorttmund who will play as hosts in this match. Judging from that, Borussia Dortmund should be able to take advantage of this opportunity very well to beat PSV. Because their opponents will be under quite a lot of pressure when they visit BOrussia Dortmund's headquarters.

Meanwhile, another match was between Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan, while Inter Milan were ahead by 1 goal on aggregate after they managed to defeat Atletico Madrid in the first leg. But to be honest, this match will be more difficult to predict because both teams are big teams in their respective leagues. Indeed, Inter Milan's current performance is very impressive, but this match will be played at Atletico Madrid headquarters. For now, Inter Milan are slightly more favourites, but we'll just have to wait and see who comes out on top.

[Agbamoni]

Meanwhile, for the Arsenal vs Porto match, even though the match only ended in a penalty shootout. And Arsenal succeeded in winning. But I think that Porto is really strong. Their defense was completely unshakable. But I know all that thanks to the senior defender and can also be said to be the legendary defender from Portugal, namely Pepe. He helps coordinate the defense well. And I am amazed that he is no longer young but he is still able to become an irreplaceable defender.

I didn't think Porto could play this well. Even they can make it difficult for Arsenal. The possession of the ball is also not much different, which means that Porto also plays open. It even seems that Porto play more effectively, he can make 3 shots on target while Arsenal can only 4 shots on target. Of course, this victory destroyed the bad tradition of failing to enter the quarterfinals. They had to wait 14 years to enter the quarterfinals.

You underated Porto thats why. Porto is a one time Champions League winner. They are tough as hell, with strong defense and incredible attackers. Arsenal had a tough time in the game. Untill Trossard the Hero came for Arsenal rescue at the 41 minute. I dont know but obviously history just repeated itself again. I could remember when Arsenal played against Manchester City in the community shield final. Manchester City were leading with 1 goal untill Trossard scored to equalize the game. It ended up in a penalty shootout were Arsenal won the cup.

But I see that these two teams are less consistent in their respective domestic leagues. Meanwhile, PSV is extraordinary in their domestic league because they are unbeaten in the Eredivisie.

I think Dortmund and Inter Milan will fill the 2 remaining places to advance to the quarter-finals. Because if Dortmund is able to hold PSV to a draw in the first leg when PSV is the host, then of course Dortmund will play better when Dortmund is the host. This will only produce the same result as Barcelona who managed to hold Napoli to a draw in the first leg then Barcelona won in the second leg. Dortmund will also do the same. Meanwhile, for the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match, I think Inter Milan will win again, even if it is only by a small goal difference. Because I see that Inter Milan is still a very strong team in Serie A. And I think Inter Milan will also be able to do the same thing in the UCL.

Barcelona - Napoli 3-1

A great victory for Barcelona, they played totally attacking throughout the match. From the statistics I see a very good figure, 24 shots taken and 10 shots on goal. Really a good match to watch, a pity for Napoli, in the first leg they had shown that they could get the qualification, but at Camp Nou it is difficult to come out victorious

From the start of the game, you will discover that both teams came out for win. That is why the game was very serious. No smiling from either team is normal. I have hope for Napoli to win the game, but seeing the energy Barcelona started the game with makes me doubt it. They scored two goals within 17 minutes of starting the match. The first goal was at 15 minutes, and the second goal was at 17 minutes. This makes me start doubting if the Napoli that I was supporting will truly equalise, because seeing how Barcelona emphasises defence and strike makes me think that it will be hard for Napoli to equalise yesterday. 

I am really satisfied with the results of today's match because according to predictions that Arsenal and Barcelona qualify. Regardless of how the Gunners had to take a penalty shootout, their quality was still superior, therefore I was sure that even though they were behind in Leg 1, Arsenal could still turn things around in Leg 2 and that was successful.

On the other hand Barcelona which statistically has nothing to worry about, Napoli deserved to lose. Let Napoli learn how important it is not to fire a coach when the players condition has begun to show that they are compatible with each other. And Napoli's mistake was relying too much on one striker so that Barcelona knew whose movements to cover on the pitch.
