UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[shield132]

It's so hard and painful when you are an FC Barcelona's fan but at the same time there is a Kvaratskhelia playing in Napoli and he is the only famous guy in football from your nation and he loses. In the Barca - Napoli match, I wanted to see Barca's win but also wanted to see Kvaratskhelia in the quarterfinals. Anyway, better to see Kvaratskhelia in Barcelona next season.

By the way, this match was phenomenal. Yesterday we saw the Barca that we always wanted to see, we saw a Barca that made us fans of this club. Despite the fact that the club was lacking some key players, Barca still managed to participate in the quarterfinals and played such amazing football that I bet this gives hope to many fans. Cubarsi and Lamine were both great. In overall, I am very happy, it was worth every minute.

So far qualified for the 1/4 finals -

Man City
Arsenal
Barcelona
Bayern
Real Madrid
PSG

Tonight two will join them -

Atleti vs Inter
Dortmund vs PSV

As always, all “serious” struggle begins with 1/4. There will be virtually no one-way pairs and an easy walk to 1/2. With one exception  
I am sure that City will get the winner of the Dortmund - PSV pair as their opponents, since the winner of this pair will probably be the weakest of those remaining in the business. The next weakest team is probably Barcelona.
Theoretically, Atlético can win and also become an attractive choice in the draw that will determine the pairings in 1/4, but the likelihood that Inter will lose is small (according to bookmakers, approximately 25%).

To be honest, even one match from last night's match didn't live up to my expectations. but as a supporter I am quite happy, in the end Arsenal was able to move on to the next phase. one of these teams is my favorite team that competed last night. no different from Barcelona, ​​one of my favorite teams in La Liga. Barcelona was lucky against Napoli, because if they played against another team their probability would be very low. that doesn't mean Napoli is a bad team, but their performance is more unstable than Barcelona. last night's match, only Barcelona matched my predictions. for Arsenal, I initially thought there would be at least three goals in the normal 90 minutes. however, this is football.

Talking about Real Madrid, I actually don't want to say what you said. although, I also feel that Madrid did not show their best performance in this competition. but what is certain is that I am absolutely sure that Don Carlo really knows and is aware of his squad, both in terms of weaknesses and weaknesses. well, because Real Madrid didn't play a good game against Leipzig, that doesn't mean they will play the same when they meet their opponents in the next phase. at least as a seasoned coach with a wealth of experience, Ancelotti will do what is best for his squad. moreover, Real Madrid has a winning mentality as an elite team in this competition. Let's see how Don Carlo takes his team when they play in this competition.

The UCL is now shaping up and we’re having about 6 teams already secured a spot in the UCL last 8. The competition is now getting very fierce as we now have some top teams in the last 8. This is a norm in every competition Beacause as the competition grows fierce, some top teams will be let put due to silly mistakes and this is always an occurrence in every UCL stage. As the competition slims down to the final, we always have that one team we look to be the winner.

 My main team who I’m rooting so much for is Real Madrid. This team despite not having a great 2nd leg in the UCL Round of 16 against Liepzig already shown how much of a strong squad they can be, they have the squad depth and the required determination from the players. You can’t also deny the fact that their coach, Ancelotti is a tactical genius and is very good when it comes to European competitions. At their current state, I think not even Man City will be able to stop them.

 Yes this is because of the pressure Man City is facing in the English League as they’re in a fierce competition with Liverpool and Arsenal and it’s unlike last season that they were already leading the league with comfortable 6-8 points when they faced each other. Talking abput Arsenal too, I’m also worried for them because with their performance yesterday, then I think they might be eliminated after this last 8 stage and might not be able to go through to the last 4. Real Madrid, Man City and Inter Milan still remains the top 3 clubs on the radar and I have huge confidence on Real Madrid being able to win this trophy even though I’m a strong supporter of English football. I can’t just ignore the works and tactics of Don Carlo as his tactics is very capable of taking any team down.

Barcelona won their game against Napoli was an excellent game and even before the game started it was already a known fact, that just fifty minutes into the game Barcelona had already dropped a goal it was and they all wanted, and Barcelona was giving Napoli a lot of heat because Barcelona had 10 shots on target. Barcelona will think they will have a chance to win the champions league since La Liga is already out of their reach.  the second leg was interesting and it was great the most important thing is that Barcelona won and for them, it's a way forward and I saw that Arsenal won in a penalty shootout.

Barcelona approached the game in the right manner and they were well prepared for Napoli to come to  Camp Nou, the performance they showed deserved a win and they got the win they worked for. Napoli has not been at their best for a while now so i doubted if they would win the second leg since they couldn’t beat Barcelona at home. Winning the champions league away from home is not an easy task especially in knockout stages like this.

Barcelona have won this round and progressed to the next round but the question now is can they survive the round? Because they will now face stronger opponents and it will now be a difficult task.

It is a huge success for Arsenal because the team has not gotten to this stage of the competition before in a very long time, they deserve it.

They got lucky but a win is a win and all that matters is to progress to the next round. Porto gave them a tough time, I expected Arsenal to be ruthless at the Emirates Stadium but it seems they have been away for a while and they are not yet settled in the atmosphere of this competition at this stage because they have been away for a while and it might all seem different. They are now in to the quarter finals and they will need more than luck to win the opponents they will face so they need to buckle up their belt.

Another close contest up next with Atl Madrid hosts Inter Milan in the 2nd leg of the Champions league, Knockout stage match. Inter Milan led 1-0 during the first leg with a goal from Marko Arnautovic which came at the 79th min of the match. Inter were threatening during the first leg and had many chances to increase the lead but couldn't capitalise on the occasion. Now, Inter have to defend their shallow lead away from home. Could be a challenging task but not impossible as it might be another low scoring affair.

Yes, maybe there won't be many goals scored because of the tight match between Atl Madrid vs Inter Milan, but I see the opportunity to win the match is in the hands of Inter Milan because I see Inter's performance continues to improve, but I think Inter can maintain their lead in the first leg and can score a goal to ensure passage to the next round.
or it could even be that Atl Madrid equalizes and the final result is determined through a penalty shootout like last night's match between Arsenal and Porto.

Well it's always difficult to play athletic Madrid at home which I believe all the big teams in the champions league can attest to that but with the situation and performance from the athletic Madrid side, i think it's safer and more reasonable if someone were to give inter Milan the winning vote because this team has been nothing but excellence and they continue to improve and score goals which is very important in any teams success and that's the upper hand they have against athletic Madrid.

[Palakka]

I knew that Arsenal was never going to get it easy because they didn't have it easy in the first leg moreover champions league is quiet different from premier league and so is the performance aswell, you can't be expecting that champions league team wouldn't challenge much more than the premier league teams did challenged Arsenal, it's more competitive and has got Moser st stake .

The champions league is like the peak league amongst elite leagues across Europe so most team there puts in only their best because any thing short of that will means they will be crashing out of the league of which they wouldn't want to knowing how much the champions league means to them. Arsenal did put in their very best in last night encounter and so did Porto too but then it happened that Arsenal got to qualify after the penalty shoot out, it's even enough for Porto to have held on thst long.

Personally I would say Porto did fight a good fight even if they weren't able to win the match and qualify for the next stage of the game, congratulations to Arsenal, topping the premier league table and t the same time having qualified for the quarter finals of the champions league, could it be the gunners have got something up their sleeves for us this season, lets see what they have got after now.

We have to admit how superior Arsenal rose in the second leg, even though Arsenal won with difficulty but in the end the fans could smile after so long they waited to be able to qualify again for the last 8 of the Champions League, Arsenal struggle I think was quite tough and even in that match it was seen throughout the game Arsenal continued to get great pressure from the Porto attackers and fortunately for Arsenal to have Raya under their crossgoal in the match

Arsenal also actually had many opportunities to score more than 1 goal in the match and even after winning 1 goal through trossard goals, Arsenal had actually scored through odeggard but unfortunately the goal was disallowed by the referee due to a foul , Porto extraordinarily solid defense made Arsenal attackers quite frustrated and even I saw Pepe was able to build a layered defense to maintain Porto's defense Stay tough throughout the game.
Quite happy to see Arsenal can continue their journey in the Champions League season and curious enough to see which strong team will be their next opponent later.

[makishart]

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.

This is a tough match for the hosts as Atletico must win by at least two goals to turn things around and progress to the quarter-finals.
But Atletico's performance in their last five matches has been less impressive, with only one win.
Meanwhile, Inter has always won 13 matches in all competitions throughout 2024. This year, Simone Inzaghi's troops are still perfect.
Statistically, Inter will be able to win this match but the match is played on the field of play, a team that is brave, full of determination, and prepared for anything will win the match.
And whatever the result, this match will be exciting and interesting
I will enjoy this game...

Atletico Madrid was not a team that often lost the game easily at home, but the main problem was Inter Milan. It's a clue that it has perfect composition. I'm doubting Atletico Madrid can beat Inter Milan in the upcoming game. I knew that Atletico Madrid was quite strong once it played at home, but this is Inter Milan, my friend.
None are even able to compete with Intermilan in serie a. I do know how competitive serie a is compared to the La Liga. It makes me feel so undoubtful about the chance owned by Streamline to win the game. Even though Intermilan will play away, look at the odds for Intermilan.
It's very smaller compared to the atletico madrid's odds. I think that intermilan is gonna win this game easily. No doubt that caused by intermilan still remains unbeatable club till now in serie a even all competitions. Atletico madrid was nothing compred to the intermilan.
Let Atletico Madrid use its best strategy to face Intermilan soon. There may be a narrow score in this match. I'm not really feeling good about Atletico Madrid's performance.
The better for this club to play defensively against intermilan. It would be a disaster if Atletico Madrid went into full attacking mode against the intermilan. It likes atletico does suicide when club decides to use the attacking strategy.

[$crypto$]

Tonight two will join them -

Atleti vs Inter
Dortmund vs PSV

My prediction is that Inter Milan and Dortmund will probably qualify.

Odds are quite interesting, but what will be interesting when looking at the Inter Milan match because they will play at Atletico Madrid's real home this is quite big, but I am optimistic that Inter Milan can qualify with a draw.

I think these two matches will be quite interesting to watch, yeah but the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match will be more tense, because of the fact that Atletico will play hard at home.

[CryptoBuds]

It is true that Atletico Madrid are very strong in home matches. Although Atletico Madrid's performance in La Liga has been erratic, the team has performed well in every home match. They are unbeaten in 14 home matches. Won all 13 matches.

Although Atlético Madrid is strong in the home match, I cannot call Atlético Madrid as a favorite against Inter Milan. Inter Milan is a strong team. And Inter Milan players are in very good form now. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid have not performed well in their last few matches. The team is in a very bad shape right now. Moreover, Inter Milan won the home match. So Inter Milan can qualify for the next round only if they draw today's match.

[hahay]

Hoping that Atletico will be able to turn things around, nothing is impossible, Atletico only needs two goals from the results of the match because that is far enough for Atletico to advance to the next round, plus Atletico will play at home with supporters who will come tonight at least. could be a strength for Atletico Madrid in facing Inter Milan in the second leg.

I consider the strength of a team base on the previous matches, if you take a look with Atletico Madrid's results, they have a terrible record. It's completely different with Inter, they perform very well recently.

In terms of quality, both of them are similar, but their recent performance are the key to evaluate which one is good and which one is bad.

So, it's really hard to imagine Atletico Madrid will pull an upsets.

Well, maybe the match between Arsenal v Porto can be a reference also for those of you who think Atletico can turn things around, because the reality is that playing at home is not a guarantee to be able to turn things around. After all, Arsenal at this moment have a greattrend in the Premier League and in the second leg playing at home but still, Arsenal were only able to make 1 goal in the normal 90 minutes. In fact, Arsenal who are in good form at this moment still need time to the penalty shootout just to beat Porto. Therefore, then I personally am not sure atall about Atletico because afterall, at thismoment also that Atletico are not in a good trend and thus, it is certainly difficult for Atletico to turn things around in this second leg.

[Mayor of ogba]

It would be an easy 90 minute win for Arsenal. Porto might have a lead over goal but they are no match to what Arsenal is now. The next game is going to be in a much different context as well. Arsenal has placed themselves as the contender for title of the premier league and the match is being hosted in Etihad stadium, the home ground of Arsenal. Arsenal will most probably have a better aggregate than porto during the gameplay and advance to the next round.
Another match on the same day Barcelona vs Napoli would be much competitive one but Barcelona would have a better play.

I agree that Arsenal will be win but it will be not an easy match for them.
In Europe competitions Porto never lost with more than 1 goal difference since Sept 2022.
I guess this match will end with 1-0 or 2-1 in 90 minutes, and the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

I believe that the record will end at the Emirate Stadium today. Arsenal will not allow FC Porto to score a goal first, so they will not need to struggle to win against FC Porto. Arsenal will beat FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League last 16 matches, and the match will end 2-0, 3-0, or 3-1.

Nope, maybe that record will be ended in the next season/Europa League because Porto might not qualify for the UCL.

For Atletico vs Inter, I guess the match ends with a draw and Inter qualify because of the aggregate.
Even Atletico performance is not so convincing lately but I doubt Inter will win again in this 2nd leg.

Yes, I thought Arsenal was going to end that FC Porto record yesterday at Emirate Stadium. FC Porto put on a good fight against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League's last 16 matches, but Arsenal used home advantage to beat FC Porto with a goal difference.

[iBaba]

Well it's always difficult to play athletic Madrid at home which I believe all the big teams in the champions league can attest to that but with the situation and performance from the athletic Madrid side, i think it's safer and more reasonable if someone were to give inter Milan the winning vote because this team has been nothing but excellence and they continue to improve and score goals which is very important in any teams success and that's the upper hand they have against athletic Madrid.

Going by the last three fixtures played by the teams, Inter Milan have won on two of the matches, home and away with a goal to none and lost in the one match with 2 goals defeat in their home. Going by these contests both teams have had with one another, it is only fair for the us to conclude that Inter will take this match, also adding to the fact that Inter Milan is at the top of their games this season leading at the league level.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand have not been as proactive as Inter this season, going by all of these things, one can easily say that Inter will win over them. But the margin will not be much, however there's 70% person of possibility of Atlantico Madrid losing to the side of Inter Millan in the next Champions league fixturing. All hands crossed!

or it could even be that Atl Madrid equalizes and the final result is determined through a penalty shootout like last night's match between Arsenal and Porto.

It makes it very hard to bet on the total over. I would rather go to the under instead of the total over. I'm sure that Atletico Madrid will get zero goal attempts against Intermilan soon. Intermilan is very strong and has the strongest defensive line in serie a. The result from the first leg proved how strong Intermilan's defensive line was.
No doubt that betting on total over is only increases your chance of losing your money. I would go to the btts or under. 3, maybe a surprise can come to use, and it will also help us a lot in winning by betting on this game. Intermilan will probably lead the game soon.
The chance  owned by intermilan to win the game is far bigger compared to the atletico madrid. It feels like that if intermilan plays at home instead of away. It's caused by the odds have reflected the superiority of Intermilan, and playing home or away won't impact the performance of the club.
Intermilan is so scary when it will able to play with the full squad. Atletico madrid may be also losing a ticket to go to the quarter final.

These options are likely to win you some money soon.

Intermilan win
BTTS Under 3

The thing that surprises me when i saw how bookies were also giving 1.25 as a start for total offer. Even bookies doubting this match to end with huge margins.

I think these two matches will be quite interesting to watch, yeah but the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match will be more tense, because of the fact that Atletico will play hard at home.

Inter is a very promising club and so long as this season is concerned they are the best team on the Italian league because there performance is very unique from others and they are very consistent in wining because there last 13 matches has been a win match for them so perhaps a club with that consistent record shouldn't be taking for granted because they can easily surprise us, so i agree with you that Inter Milan will possibly win this match because even when they meet Atletico Madrid last they won them and since then Inter Milan has not lose form so they will still surely use the performance left in them to win the match again.

[Xcode7]

Nothing is easy, but we also have to look at it realistically, Inter Milan's strength this season is better than Atletico Madrid, so I think playing home or away will not have a big impact on a team that has a strong mentality.
Inter Milan are already ahead Agg 1 goal, that could be an asset for them to be able to play more comfortably even though they have to play at Atletico Madrid's home ground, but in terms of quality and performance Atletico Madrid recently has been very bad.

[Abu-Naim]

Inter is a very promising club and so long as this season is concerned they are the best team on the Italian league because there performance is very unique from others and they are very consistent in wining because there last 13 matches has been a win match for them so perhaps a club with that consistent record shouldn't be taking for granted because they can easily surprise us, so i agree with you that Inter Milan will possibly win this match because even when they meet Atletico Madrid last they won them and since then Inter Milan has not lose form so they will still surely use the performance left in them to win the match again.

Inter Milan is in good form in all competitions, they won their last six matches in a row and they won their first leg match against Atletico Madrid. This second leg will be tough because Diago Semione will want to use this win to make Atletico Madrid goes to the quarter final this time despite their inconsistency in the Laliga and other competitions.
Inter Milan won their last two matches against Atletico Madrid one away from home and one at home, I believe with this current form, they will be unstoppable and will try to make it to the quarter finals again this season because Atletico Madrid is not in good form as they lost their last match against Cadiz in Laliga.

[KTChampions]

My prediction is that Inter Milan and Dortmund will probably qualify.

Odds are quite interesting, but what will be interesting when looking at the Inter Milan match because they will play at Atletico Madrid's real home this is quite big, but I am optimistic that Inter Milan can qualify with a draw.

I think these two matches will be quite interesting to watch, yeah but the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match will be more tense, because of the fact that Atletico will play hard at home.

It's always easy to choose a favorite 

To Qualify

Borussia Dortmund 1.67

PSV Eindhoven 2.22

and

Atletico Madrid 4.00

Inter Milan 1.25

I'm probably too optimistic, but it seems to me that Atlético are underrated. Even though on paper they are in a terrible crisis, but in Italy they were able to get a decent result, which opens up the opportunity for them to fix everything at home. I went against the odds and chose Atlético.
As for the game in Dortmund, it will be the most spectacular of today. I think the score will be 2-1 or 3-1 in favor of Dortmund, it turns out that the total over 2.5 is easy choice.

[masulum]

Yes, I thought Arsenal was going to end that FC Porto record yesterday at Emirate Stadium. FC Porto put on a good fight against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League's last 16 matches, but Arsenal used home advantage to beat FC Porto with a goal difference.

winning on penalties when they were become a hosts was an unsatisfactory result for Arsenal. But, a win is still a win. Even though Arsenal had to beat Porto on penalties, this is a good result for the gunner, and i believe that can provide morale for Arsenal players so they can play better in the next round.

In other matches, Napoli showed poor performance. I don't know how Napoli management will end this situation after losing to Barcelona in the UCL, Napoli should focus on getting 1 position for UCL next season.

[len01]

Inter is a very promising club and so long as this season is concerned they are the best team on the Italian league because there performance is very unique from others and they are very consistent in wining because there last 13 matches has been a win match for them so perhaps a club with that consistent record shouldn't be taking for granted because they can easily surprise us, so i agree with you that Inter Milan will possibly win this match because even when they meet Atletico Madrid last they won them and since then Inter Milan has not lose form so they will still surely use the performance left in them to win the match again.

Inter Milan is in good form in all competitions, they won their last six matches in a row and they won their first leg match against Atletico Madrid. This second leg will be tough because Diago Semione will want to use this win to make Atletico Madrid goes to the quarter final this time despite their inconsistency in the Laliga and other competitions.
Inter Milan won their last two matches against Atletico Madrid one away from home and one at home, I believe with this current form, they will be unstoppable and will try to make it to the quarter finals again this season because Atletico Madrid is not in good form as they lost their last match against Cadiz in Laliga.

in this UCL match we cannot only use H2H and the performance of a team in the domestic league to be used as a benchmark for predicting the chance of victory because in the UCL a weak team can qualify because sometimes a weak team can make a mistake on one side, Atletico Madrid cannot be underestimated If indeed Inter were stronger, Inter would be able to score more than 1 when Inter competed at home, but in fact Inter only got 1 aggregate score.
I really want Inter to qualify but to bet on this match I have a little thought if it could end in a draw and there will be a penalty shootout which ends Inter will qualify if they win in the penalty shootout round.
this is just my opinion because even though in the domestic league Atletico Madrid looks weak and in H2H Inter is superior, a surprise draw could happen.

we can see that currently the odds given by bookies for Atletico Madrid @3, draw @3.5 and Inter @2.38
from these odds we can see that the bookie is favoring Inter, but look at the very small difference in odds between the three options and this means there is a chance of a draw.

[Lillominato89]

obviously I had bet on Barcelona, obviously I'm sorry to bet against Italian teams, but Napoli's decline is not a decline, it's a really strong crisis they are also starting to go outside the cup zone in my opinion and they risk a lot I don't know if they will be able to recover, certainly in my opinion they will lose their top striker

Napoli are obviously, as you say, in steep decline, but already since the end of last year. Spalletti smelled that something was wrong and he did well to leave before making a bad impression. I didn't want to make any bets on this match, but many people bet on the victory of Barcelona, who deservedly are now in the quarter-finals of this Champions League. Too bad for Napoli, because by exiting this Champions League they have in fact given access to the next World Cup to Juventus (who qualify without playing a match ).
