UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

For a team like Arsenal who haven't been in the Champions league for 8 years now. They do not really know how things works out in the semifinals, quarter finals to move to the finals. All they have in their mind now is that they would play very well to win any team they are giving to play in the semifinals. It is not an easy one for them in this UCL. Porto gave them a tough time, and the remaining team that qualified is stronger and better to do them more than what they enocuntered with Porto.

Football is all about expreicne sometime. In my opinion i want them to have this expereince playing with Barca, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Athletico Madrid, Manchester City and Real Madrid in this competition. Even they may not qualify for the semi finals. I just pray they give them Dortumund yet in this Quarter final so that there may be hope for them. As i believed Dortmund is the weakest among all of them followed by PSG.

It seems like the Champions League draws are out already? Arsenal against Bayern Munich? WTF? Are we seeing another 10-2 aggregate results? I can't wait for these honestly. Arsenal anyways are poor in the Champions League, I don't need talk much about it because Bayern Munich are bigger and better options in this Competition.
Gunner's did so well against Porto though, they tried to keep the scores. Shout out to David Rays, he has really been a good man for them at the back. He was criticized earlier this season after some errors but he got the backing of the manager and players to get back tod a good form.

Real Madrid against Manchester City test again? Damnit!! As for the game between Atletico Madrid and Borrussia Dortmund, the Germans should kiss the Champions League goodbye already because they'd be knocked out. I predicted both Paris Saint Germans and Barcelona to be out soon but here they're facing each other. Lol.

In a few minutes, these 8 teams that qualified are all good. Arsenal need hard work, they have made new history.  But if they meet big teams like Madrid, City, Munich and Barcelona it seems difficult. But I think Arsenal's chances are still wide open. They just have to work hard and be confident for the next game. Actually I didn't expect there to be a final in this phase (a strong team match). This is because I don't like boring finals.

I agree with you talking about the strength and capacity of all the teams that got to qualify for the quarter finals of the champions league, a critical examination into their performance and you will agree that they all didn't have it easy as they all played a some worth rough game to get through to this stage, although they dis scaled through but it was actually their hard work and resilience.

Some of them like Arsenal did faces a team that was presumed before now not to be such that will caused them much problem but after the first leg they understood that in the champions league there's actually no big or small team as any team can actually get to our preform any team at the slightest opportunity given them so underestimating any team in the champions league will only be to your own detriment, port almost caused Arsenal the champions league but they buckled up so did Barcelona and Napoli after the first leg Barcelona became better.

The next stage of the champions league is actually going to be really interesting because all the team in this current stage are so determined to win the champions league, except for Real Madrid who's still got their domestic league to fall back at if they loose the champions league, most of the teams at this stage has got only the champions league as their hope for a trophy especially Barcelona and Dortmund.

Now I’m also waiting for the draw to begin, it’s already started, and the first pair:
Arsenal - Bayern

I believe every match in the quarter finals will be very competitive. The teams are almost equally strong in every match.

Bayern Munich's performance has been somewhat erratic. However, the team performed well in the second leg match. On the other hand Arsenal team is strong. Arsenal are also fighting for the Premier League title this season. Beating Arsenal against Bayern Munich is certainly very challenging.

This is a very interesting pairing, I hope Bayern can beat Arsenal, they with Porto didn’t look very good. And here is the second pair:
Atletico Madrid - Borussia Dortmund

It is impossible to predict the performance of Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid's performance against Inter Milan in the first leg match was poor. However, in the match of the second leg, Atletico Madrid showed great dominance against Inter Milan. I consider Atletico Madrid as the favorite against Dortmund.

Well, it looks like Simione was lucky in the quarterfinals, I think that Dortmund will not be able to beat Atletico. And the third pair:
Real - City

This is the most competitive match of Champions League quarter finals. Because Madrid and City were hot favorites for this year's Champions League title. We thought these two teams would meet in the final or semi-final. One of the two giants will be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The chances of both teams winning this match are 50-50.

OMG this match is worthy of a final, I think that the winner in this pair will become the champion. And the last couple:
PSG - Barcelona

The overall situation of Barcelona and PSG is also very similar. Neither team is weak, but both have erratic performances. And I would say the performance of both teams depends on a particular player. If Lewandowski plays well, Barcelona's chances of winning will increase, while Mbappe's performance will increase PSG's chances of winning.

Now I’m also waiting for the draw to begin, it’s already started, and the first pair:
Arsenal - Bayern

This is a very interesting pairing, I hope Bayern can beat Arsenal, they with Porto didn’t look very good. And here is the second pair:
Atletico Madrid - Borussia Dortmund

Well, it looks like Simione was lucky in the quarterfinals, I think that Dortmund will not be able to beat Atletico. And the third pair:
Real - City

OMG this match is worthy of a final, I think that the winner in this pair will become the champion. And the last couple:
PSG - Barcelona

Here I will give preference to PSG, because Barca is not in the best shape now, but PSG is in excellent shape, I think that Enrique is also very familiar with Barcelona.

Interesting! the semifinals later will be:

Arsenal/Bayern vs Real/City
ATM/ Dortmund vs PSG/Barca

I predict we might see PSG in the final and their opponent will be Real or City, I do hope to see PSG vs Real because of Mbappe.
He already signed a 5 year contract with Real, it will be an awkward moment if he plays in the final against his future club.

[naira]

Of course, all the teams who qualify for the next round are the strong teams. If they are not strong enough, they must be eliminated already.
However, I think there are some favorite teams to got to the final round because we see their performance looks more consistent than other teams. Man City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid are 3 teams to be in the final based on the prediction of many people. But if we look at the result of the matches in the current round, only Bayern Munich and Man City deserve to be the favorite teams. Real Madrid looked a bit difficult to win against Leipzig, not sure if they can deal with the next opponent. It seems, the most convincing team is Man City. Will Man City be the champion again this season?

Indeed Manchester City had impressive performance since group phase until 16 round I don't sure they are favorite team, I want to see Manchester City have to face Bayern Munich or PSG on quarter final.
Regarding with quarter final teams left seems Dortmund is the only one weakness teams and most expected by all team face in quarter final, most lucky if quarter final drawing face with Dortmund than facing other difficult teams such as Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester City.

Arsenal and PSG can fight for a place in the top 4 but so far I have little hope that Arsenal can progress further. Manchester City, Bayern Munich Madrid and maybe Arsenal are suitable candidates. But we'll see because all the teams are quite strong after going through quite a long struggle. The draw is highly anticipated so after leaving we will be much more confident about which teams will face each other. And what is clear is that Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Dortmund must be prepared for this result, maybe they are faced with Bayern Munich or Manchester City.

[rendravolt]

The final was early and actually I didn't want the match to happen in the quarter-finals. The draw results have come out and one of the matches will see Manchester City take on Real Madrid. Over and over again we see matches between two teams who are candidates to win the Champions League, which are always presented outside the final round and it is truly unlucky that we will see one of these candidates being eliminated in the quarter-finals.

On the other hand, it would be quite profitable if one of them were eliminated considering that there are fewer and fewer strong teams competing in the bigger rounds. Apart from that, a prerequisite match with prestige will be presented and all eyes will be focused on this match later. I'm curious who will advance to the semifinals considering that both teams are at the same level. Can't wait for this big match!

[bitLeap]

again and again Madrid have had to meet Man City too quickly, I'm laughing here and for some reason a draw makes Madrid frown at its players. Maybe you want to see Haaland duel with Bellingham because the two are clearly friends at Dortmund. On the other hand, Bayern Munich facing Arsenal is quite appropriate and this is also a challenge for Arteta because if they succeed in beating Bayern Munich then the quality of the players is something to be feared. Then Barcelona faced PSG, I think Barcelona had to test their strength because PSG was quite determined to continue to advance to the final after failing for so long. Atletico Madrid against Dortmund is certainly difficult to predict, but personally I hope Atletico Madrid can qualify.

[slapper]

and on the one hand it is true what you say that all of this will also depend on the draw of the opponents in this quarter final round because if they face a team of higher quality I am sure Arsenal will fail in the quarter finals this time.

In a few minutes, these 8 teams that qualified are all good. Arsenal need hard work, they have made new history.  But if they meet big teams like Madrid, City, Munich and Barcelona it seems difficult. But I think Arsenal's chances are still wide open. They just have to work hard and be confident for the next game. Actually I didn't expect there to be a final in this phase (a strong team match). This is because I don't like boring finals.

Arsenal being in the final eight is exciting and surprising. I agree that facing Madrid, City, Munich, or Barcelona is intimidating, but they've improved. But isn't that what makes football fun? The unpredictability of David vs. Goliath? I think Arsenal has a decent chance if they work hard and focus. All fans can hope for is confidence

Speaking of pairings, Arsenal vs. Bayern is a headliner. I completely think that some of these matches may feel like finals. Rivals: Real and City? Blockbuster stuff. Every squad fighting has demonstrated grit and competence. In the Champions League, it's sometimes about who wants it more on the day

Cracker of a quarterfinal with Real Madrid taking on Manchester City. I think whoever wins among those two, are highly likely to win the trophy. Bayern with former Spurs man, Harry Kane and Eric Dier take on Arsenal who have been looking good this season. PSG finally have a decent chance of making it deep into the tournament as they take on Barcelona. Atletico Madrid take on Dortmund and both teams would consider it a favorable draw for them as they try to move to the semis.

[Alpha Marine]

And what is clear is that Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Dortmund must be prepared for this result, maybe they are faced with Bayern Munich or Manchester City.

The match between PSG and Barcelona is a 50/50 match to me. I don't think any team has a very big edge over the other. Mbappe is the only difference between both teams but Barcelona in recent games has improved a lot. They have a squad that can win PSG. I believe that the match will be determined by the coaches. Whichever coach is more tactical throughout the match wins it. There's also the luck factor. We all know how football can be. One team can get a red card or a penalty and that can turn the whole time around.
What I know is that it's an interesting fixture but my money is on Barcelona.

The final was early and actually I didn't want the match to happen in the quarter-finals. The draw results have come out and one of the matches will see Manchester City take on Real Madrid. Over and over again we see matches between two teams who are candidates to win the Champions League, which are always presented outside the final round and it is truly unlucky that we will see one of these candidates being eliminated in the quarter-finals.

This is the third season in a row that these two teams are meeting each other and whoever wins the tie always wins the competition. I don't know how it would be this season but the winner of this tie has a bigger chance of getting to the final.
The Champions League has always been an interesting competition and this one isn't disappointing.

The draws were perfect and the pairs are well done because it is a stage where no one will expect less. At the quarter finals, you should expect any team if you really want to win the Champions League.
Real Madrid and Manchester will face each other so quickly this time, they are both favorites to win the title, but at this stage, one have to give up for one and the most consistent and talented one will qualify this time.
Can Madrid eliminate Manchester City?

Speaking of pairings, Arsenal vs. Bayern is a headliner. I completely think that some of these matches may feel like finals. Rivals: Real and City? Blockbuster stuff. Every squad fighting has demonstrated grit and competence. In the Champions League, it's sometimes about who wants it more on the day

Arsenal Vs Bayern will be the headline in the quarter final because Bayern has been eliminating Arsenal in the round of 16 for some years back.
I think this time, Arsenal will shock the world with their outstanding performance because they in a good form to win the Champions League since either Madrid and Manchester City, one will be eliminated, therefore, if Arsenal can eliminate Bayern, there is a hope for the Gunners to win the Champions League this time.

[abhiseshakana]

Arsenal main focus at the moment is to improve their game, indeed so far Arsenal performance in the league has been very good and managed to score many goals, but for the Champions League it seems that they must be able to improve their mentality and performances to be even better because the competition in the Champions League is tighter, currently the Champions League League leaves a strong and experienced team,  So Arteta should have used the experience against Porto as a lesson, I think Porto was a slightly weak team in the last 16 yesterday but Arsenal had to work hard enough to beat him and get here, and now they are awaited by a team that is maybe 3 times stronger than Porto.

At the moment Arsenal should not talk about trophies or even qualify for the final, because indeed their position is a little difficult and better for Arsenal to continue to focus on improving their performance ahead of the quarter-final match later, because surely Arsenal will also not be able to avoid big teams like Manchester City and Madrid in the Champions League in drawing later.

all of this depends on Arteta as the coach who manages Arsenal to be able to maintain the physical and fitness of the players and as long as Arteta can rotate players very wisely, Arsenal will certainly be a little more likely to continue to advance to the final round, but I'm not sure.
In this quarter final round, all the teams that qualified were big teams with very good quality performance and quite good experience, but even so, Arsenal still had the opportunity to get a ticket to the final round even though they had to play a difficult match.
and on the one hand it is true what you say that all of this will also depend on the draw of the opponents in this quarter final round because if they face a team of higher quality I am sure Arsenal will fail in the quarter finals this time.

Arsenal didn't play badly against Porto, it's just that they looked quite nervous. Maybe between the Champions League and the Premier League, there is a different pressure and because of this, what I see is that Arsenal cannot play freely, and they are quite burdened to chase a 1 goal deficit. Luckily they were able to win through penalties, but if they continue to play the same way in the quarter-finals later, I think it will be quite difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich. They don't just have to improve their performance in the Champions League but they also should have a strong mentality when playing in an important match that has a lot of pressure.

[Velvet78]

Arsenal's nightmare is back!    After seeing this draw between them and Bayern Munich their last matchup in the Champions League came to my mind. A total defeat by 10-2... Arsenal got really embarrassing results back then. Of course there are big differences between Arsenal in 2017 and the one in this year.    This time I expect a much closer fight considering Bayern Munich's not being the usual as well.

We have an early finale between Manchester City and Real Madrid as well. I was really hoping to see these teams competing against each other in the finale. But here we are.     It is better to enjoy this huge matchup from now on. My favourite is the Manchester side but I wouldn't be shocked to see Real Madrid getting past them either.

[tsaroz]

The draw for the double legged quaterfinals of UEFA champions league is out and here are my predictions.

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
Two of the weakest team in the quaterfinals. Anyone playing against the winner of them in semis would be lucky. Of the two, Atletico Madrid have a better chance to qualify.

PSG vs Barcelona
A recurring and popular match in Champions league quarterfinals. Barcelona is better on head to head but this time PSG is the better team.

Arsenal vs Bayren Munich
This is a hard one to predict. They have been quite different from the last time they met. I'll bet on Bayren Munich as German playing style dominates over English.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City
This one too is going to be a great game. Again I believe the physical playing style of Real Madrid and their legacy on champions league would favor them over Manchester City,

[Lida93]

They don't just have to improve their performance in the Champions League but they also should have a strong mentality when playing in an important match that has a lot of pressure.

It's not a surprise to me that Arsenal can't keep  up to it high level of performance in the champions league, because the championships league have it own added pressure, and secondly, this arsenal team lack experience especially in the champions league, so it's quite normal that they weren't able to dominate fc Porto completely, especially in the second leg.

Another thing about this arsenal team is that, they aren't physical enough in that encounter between Porto, they really struggled in that aspect, congratulations anyway to them for progressing via penalties, but I think that lack of experience will cost them in this season's champions League as they face Bayern Munich in the next round.

But here we are.     It is better to enjoy this huge matchup from now on. My favourite is the Manchester side but I wouldn't be shocked to see Real Madrid getting past them either.

all the teams in the quarterfinals are currently strong European teams. Arsenal vs Munich, and Madrid vs City. This will be a quarter-final match that feels like a final. I hope City will remain the strongest in the future. even though they have to defeat a tough opponent first. It's not an easy match for City, but I think City can still be successful this season with the Champions League trophy.

while the other match will bring together PSG VS Barca. I'm not sure about these two teams, but they still have a chance to qualify for the next round, especially Barca.

[Plaguedeath]

I think the draw is very fair.

Arsenal meet Bayern Munich isn't really a nightmare because Bayern Munich isn't really in good perform, they can't even beat Leverkusen.

PSG meet Barcelona is really interesting, even though I always say PSG is a weak team, but I think they should able to beat Barcelona. Barcelona is awful than PSG, Barcelona is currently lack of players.

[piebeyb]

Real Madrid vs Manchester City
This one too is going to be a great game. Again I believe the physical playing style of Real Madrid and their legacy on champions league would favor them over Manchester City,

This is the second meeting where Manchester City has to meet Madrid, where last season Manchester City humiliated Madrid with a landslide score, I think Madrid will learn from last season's failure where they were eliminated by Manchester City, I think Guardiola has prepared a special strategy to face Ancelotti's men, at least this will be an interesting match to watch because it just so happens that the two of them meet again this season.

I am sure that for the second time Manchester City will beat Madrid and get rid of them because Madrid is the strongest club in the UCL so they have to be eliminated early if Manchester City really wants to win the UCL title this season because that is why the meeting before the final is important, apart from this match there is another match What's interesting is Arsenal and Munich, I think they will have difficulty facing Munich, Manchester City will represent a team from the English league that has made it to the next round and Arsenal looks like they will fall halfway because Munich is in the hunt for the UCL title and they will play their best. to win the meeting.

[asriloni]

The draw for the double legged quaterfinals of UEFA champions league is out and here are my predictions.

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
Two of the weakest team in the quaterfinals. Anyone playing against the winner of them in semis would be lucky. Of the two, Atletico Madrid have a better chance to qualify.

Weakest? Damn man, dortmnud was the strongest even compared to the PSG and acmilan. dormtund has even won the group stage with dramatic matches and i think that we will be also seeing the one will almost similar to the match intermilan vs atletico madrid.

PSG vs Barcelona
A recurring and popular match in Champions league quarterfinals. Barcelona is better on head to head but this time PSG is the better team.

You forgot that if PSG is having many new players on its squad. It was also making the result is still remain unpredictable. The current squad of PSG is far different compared to the last season's squad. We can't really measure how storng PSG is against barcelona.

Arsenal vs Bayren Munich
This is a hard one to predict. They have been quite different from the last time they met. I'll bet on Bayren Munich as German playing style dominates over English.

Arsenal is at the peak performance while mnunich is not performing that well in bundesliga but never try to underestimate your opponent.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City
This one too is going to be a great game. Again I believe the physical playing style of Real Madrid and their legacy on champions league would favor them over Manchester City,

The most hyped match in this season. There is no better match rather than seeing real madrid to face city once again. It reminds me when real madrid was always facing chelsea in UCL. It seems like that we have a replacement for chelsea which is manchester city.

[rdluffy]

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
Theoretically the weakest teams, and both were lucky with the draw, both will have a great chance of reaching the semi-final, which could be much more difficult in other matches
My prediction to qualify is: Atletico Madrid

PSG vs Barcelona
I don't think PSG have the strength to beat Barcelona this year. The Spanish team looks much stronger and better prepared than PSG
My prediction to qualify is: Barcelona

Arsenal vs Bayren Munich
In my opinion, Arsenal aren't strong enough to go head-to-head with Bayern Munich. Bayern are not in first place in the Bundesliga, so they'll be going all out for the Champions League.
My prediction to qualify is: Bayern

Real Madrid vs Manchester City
This match, in my opinion, [and a 50% chance for each team] is impossible to predict hahaha, it's practically an early final in my opinion.
My prediction to qualify is: Manchester City
