UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Bravut]

For me, the first Real vs City game looks "easy". Not that it will ever be easy of course, but Manchester City is trying to win the premier league, so they can't really rest their players in the league games, if it was like last year when they were ahead so much, they could have rested some of their players, but right now that is not possible. Considering that as a problem, we could see that they have a game, and then they will take only 2 day break and then play Real Madrid, who will be rested.

This is why betting on Real Madrid to win that game seems like a good idea to me. I can't guarantee that though, I mean City could still end up winning of course, they are a great team who can do so much, I am just assuming.

Same here, this kind of match I don't bet on it because looking from both sides (line up, stats), both are aggressive.
But am sure Manchester City will win to keep the title, looking at last season they won against same Real Madrid at semi-final beating them (4-0), not failing to recall that Real Madrid have won thrice, while Man City have won 4 times. This isn't the time Pep would  like to take chances.
Courteous and Alaba are on injury for Real Madrid which would have effect on them, Man City cooking hot. Win probability is high for Man City,. When it comes to football though we can't accurately predict the outcome but for me when Man City is involved I know something gonna happen.

I have different thinking than yours because I believe Manchester City consider Champions League is more important than Premier League if they have to choose. They wanted to win Champions League many years and spent a lot of money invested in players, coaches, staffs, salary and only won their first Champions League last season.

Premier League is a big league but they already won many Premier League titles and in last six seasons, they won it five times. I don't say five titles in last six seasons are enough for Manchester City and they don't want to win it more but if they have to prioritize their players for either Premier League or Champions League, they will do it for Champions League.

None of two matches between Manchester City and Real Madrid are easy to predict its result. Both teams are very strong and each of them have good chance to win.

Even though I know I don’t have that complete trust in Manchester City, I don’t think they will still win Real Madrid in the quarterfinals because Real Madrid would rather go on a draw than lose a home game, which I know they will even win because they also want to win the Champions League trophy, so I believe that Manchester City will win Real Madrid in the second leg with a 50% chance.
 
To me, when Real Madrid are able to have a win in the first leg, they will also try their best to accumulate many goals so that even if they lose the second leg with a goal, they will still win in aggregate or go on a draw in aggregate, and if that happens on a one-on-one penalty shootout, I don’t have doubt because Manchester City will definitely be knocked out of the league. I have complete hope in Real Madrid, and everyone knows that they even have more experience than Manchester City in the Champions League.

Both of Premier League and UEFA Champion League are most important trophies for Manchester City in this season, although had dominance for several years winning Premier League I think Pep Guardiola keep priority for defending the EPL trophy. Pep Guardiola unhappy with FA how Premier League schedule most busy and Manchester City has three matches in one week.
Last victory against Aston Villa last night its show with Manchester City won't loss chance for winning Premier League this season and currently waiting Liverpool or Arsenal losses their points on upcoming match.

Between Real Madrid and Manchester City had good performance for this season, its difficult for predicting who will qualify to quarter final round but Manchester City only has three days rest and Madrid get more than one week will be favorable for winning the first leg match.

If they want to maintain their performance next season then Leverkusen should try to add depth to their squad because they will be playing in the Champions League. The decision to stay is much better than leaving too quickly to take charge of another team because Xabi Alonso needs to prove his quality as a coach. Playing in the Champions League will mean that Xabi needs several quality players because the matches there will be much different from the Bundesliga.

Next season will be a real challenge for Leverkusen. They will play in the Champions League and that is a high level competition. Xabi must be able to rotate players and add variations to match tactics. I think club management will give Xabi a budget to find the players he wants. And for tactics I think if you play at a level like the Champions League you really need a variety of tactics because strong teams from other leagues will look for your weaknesses. And if they find your weaknesses then the teams in the domestic league will also find out your tactical weaknesses if you lack tactics.

The next challenge is that Bayern Munich will be better prepared for Leverkusen. I'm sure this season they really didn't expect Leverkusen to be a problem for them. And they definitely won't let that happen again next season.

Bayer Leverkuse will have to face with a very chaotic summer because not all of their star players will want to stay with the club. Some of them will want to leave and find other bigger clubs to satisfy their ambition. Leverkusen will receive many big offers from big clubs for star players and they will not be able to keep all of their star players for a next season. This is first big challenge for Leverkusen's board members to solve in the summer.

There is another big challenge, next season, playing in Champions League will be big difference than this season. It will force Leverkusen to focus on Champions League and they will have less attention on Bundesliga. Even they want to play well in Bundesliga, defend their title, it will not be easy because they don't have too deep player resource.

The next challenge is that Bayern Munich will be better prepared for Leverkusen. I'm sure this season they really didn't expect Leverkusen to be a problem for them. And they definitely won't let that happen again next season.

This is another big challenge for Leverkusen, simply because Bayern Munich will not stay quietly and do nothing. They will buy players, enhance their squad, find a new coach and challenge Leverkusen to win Bundesliga again.

I also buys into your sentiment about Bayern Leverkusen, because since they will be playing in Europe most prestigious competition, the uefa champions league next season, they will definitely face a much stronger test than they have face throughout this season, and in other for them to to be able to cope with the pressure of expectations, they definitely have to strengthen their squad.

And as for Bayern Munich, if Bayern Munich do not improve massively next season, they would still struggle next season, unless their is a big changes within the team that makes the team to be much better than this season, if not, Bayern Leverkusen will still dominate them, because I believe that Leverkusen is their to stay, as long as xabi Alonso is still their manager.

By the way, Pep Guardiola seems to have started preparing the stamina of his best players ahead of the first leg against Real Madrid. I mean Pep Guardiola didn't play all his main players in the match against Aston Villa at the moment, so I see it as preparation so that the players don't get too tired for the next tough match.

Manchester City have a really tight fixture lately. They have another PL match to play in 2 days and only 3 days after that one they are going to play the first leg in the Champions League. Guardiola has a really tough job to do truthfully. Because they are in a fierce fight for the PL title on the other hand. He can't just do a big rotation as a result.

De Bruyne and Haaland were rested in the Aston Villa match. However Haaland's rest might have a different reason. His form has dropped a lot lately as you know. 

I really wonder who we will see there in the first leg, Haaland or Alvarez?

Last match Pep Guardiola success make rotation after winning over Aston Villa and next match Manchester City will make more than 80% rotation players because facing most weakness team Crystal Palace. Its not problem for Manchester City with three days left before facing Real Madrid in champion league match because Pep Guardiola have rested kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland will be fresh for facing Madrid.

Last premier league match against Aston Villa, Pep Guardiola rested many main players and seems against Crystal Palace have many players will put on the bench for facing Madrid. Its warning for Madrid although they have more day taking rest but Manchester City keep with the full players for first leg match except with Kyle Walker and seems Ederson still injury.

This will not be a problem for Manchester City because in the previous season they were like that too and they were able to get through the busy schedule very well.
All teams will experience the same thing, not just Manchester City but they will certainly put a higher focus on their Champions League matches.

De Bruyne is still injured while Haaland's performance seems to have decreased slightly after he recovered from injury and now there is no Kevin De Bruyne to support him so Haaland is having a little difficulty.
The match against Aston Villa was actually very difficult for Manchester City because they were in the title race, but even though Pep Guardiola rotated players, this did not have a big impact on the performance of the Manchester City team and also what was seen proved that the Manchester City team had prepared for the match against Real Madrid well quite well and they proved to be very focused in the match against Real Madrid compared to matches in their domestic league.

[Catenaccio]

De Bruyne is still injured while Haaland's performance seems to have decreased slightly after he recovered from injury and now there is no Kevin De Bruyne to support him so Haaland is having a little difficulty.

Kevin De Bruyne is no longer injured and he returned to play matches for Manchester City several weeks ago, had some impressive matches, scored some goals for them too. He only does not play magnificently like previous seasons but problems probably come from Manchester City system too. This season, they have less options to rotate for finding creativeness and danger in their attacking system. They only have three players for it, De Bruyne, Foden and Silva but last season they had Gundogan and Mahrez.

Depends too much on these players make their attacking system is more easily predictable and opponents can defend their goalkeepers better.

The match against Aston Villa was actually very difficult for Manchester City because they were in the title race, but even though Pep Guardiola rotated players, this did not have a big impact on the performance of the Manchester City team and also what was seen proved that the Manchester City team had prepared for the match against Real Madrid well quite well and they proved to be very focused in the match against Real Madrid compared to matches in their domestic league.

The match against Aston Villa is a big win for Manchester City with a hat-trick from Foden, again Foden saved them in this season. Grealish is back and he can be an ace under sleeves for Pep Guardiola in matches against Real Madrid. Doku is another hope for them but this young player has more bad performances than good ones so far in this season.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Manchester City must not underestimate Madrid, if they really want to win, they must be able to focus on playing consistently and regularly on the field so they can face Madrid like last season, be more calm and measured to be able to score goals, I believe that Manchester City can do it if they don't underestimate Madrid. they will be much more focused, we all know that all of Manchester City's key players will almost be played in the first leg and if Madrid want to win they have to beat the first leg.

It is not typical of City to underestimate a club that has won many titles in the UCL. Madrid is the current king of the UCL, it would be a big mistake if City were too overconfident in this match. I think, Pep Guardiola also really understands how Madrid plays the strengeth and weakness, and what he needs to do is keep his playing strategy on the field running well. This is the Quarter-Final round, there is no way City can underestimate Madrid.

As Pep Guardiola said, if they want to dominate the Champions League, they must be able to beat Madrid. So of course it is an obligation for Pep Guardiola to be able to maximize the match against Madrid in Leg 1. However of all the phases that Madrid will face, their biggest challenge will come early, in essence like it or not, the Leg of the match will be like a final for anyone, a fierce battle will not can be avoided. The results of Leg 1 have a big impact, therefore Pep Guardiola understands Madrid situation much better, especially after Benzema left. Bellingham will be reunited with Haaland as an old friend from his days at Dortmund and will make this match even more special than the last meeting last season.

Pep Guardiola is probably right because this are the biggest clubs in the champions league so anyone among them that wins the other will likely emerge the winner of the champions league so the both teams are faced with the responsibility of winning. Taking a look at their head to head, Manchester city have won Madrid more because they won Madrid 5 times then Madrid won them 4 times so this might be an opportunity for Madrid to equalize the head to head on 5, 5 wins but it is not an easy one at all because Manchester city though are still premier league contenders but they are not certain if they can win the trophy so they will want to win the Champions league so as to achieve an important trophy this season.

Jude Bellingham is a good player, he has shown a lot of commitment since he joined Real Madrid and it will be a game to watch because Erling Haaland on the other side of Manchester city is also a notable player and of such the both teams are made up of high profile players so this match will be more of "the clash of giants".

[Dzwaafu11]

Against Madrid, it will definitely be a difficult game for Manchester City, I think the game against Madrid will be a test for Guardiola to continue to maintain their consistency, besides that the draw from Arsenal in the league certainly benefits Madrid and I think at the moment Madrid may have pocketed the gap from Manchester City weakness, making it possible for Ancelotti to exploit that weakness to get the victory as well as revenge for their failure last season.

Real Madrid cannot make it difficult for Manchester City, and I didn’t see any weakness from Manchester City that will make that happen, although I don’t know your reason for saying that. Just understand that in this stage, Manchester City are very strong opponents, and Manchester City will be a very big challenge for Real Madrid in this championship league this season, so let's see if what you are saying will happen because to me, I didn’t see any sign of weakness in Manchester City's performance.

That's not Manchester City's weakness because Arsenal did play defensively during the match and expected a quick counter attack, you might see that Manchester City controlled possession of the ball while they continued to attack but Arsenal guarded their back line with 8 or 9 players to tighten it up, I was sure from the start Arteta wanted a draw, so there were no attacks that Arsenal could really take advantage of when there was a counterattack because they were focused on defending their back line.

I didn’t see any weakness from Manchester City in the match. The thing is that they find it difficult to penetrate Arsenal's defense. Arsenal played a defensive game. It seems to me that Arsenal were not even looking up to winning, but they should play  a draw because, with the way they were playing, they didn’t allow Manchester City players to get any chance of going home to even try to score a goal, so they made it difficult for Manchester City, if not Manchester City, to even play more than Arsenal in that match.

[klidex]

The creativity from last season and this season are much different otherwise they Manchester City would have defeated Arsenal during the weekend clash at Etihad Stadium.
Real Madrid as we all know have been a good attacking side but I doubt they would want to park the bus just the same way Arsenal did against Manchester City to get a point out of the game.

Actually I feel happy because I feel Man City are a bit worse than last year. This is because some core players like Gundogan left. But indeed Foden can replace the sling quite well but not as well as Gundogan. But it is quite difficult to determine who will win. Because these two teams are equally good. It's just that I always remember, Madrid always struggle if they meet a team that is strong in possession.

I think it's not Manchester City that looks bad compared to last season, it's Arsenal who is better compared to last season because Manchester City still has the same performance, it's just that Arsenal wants to do better this season by competing in the Premier League title race with Manchester City and also Liverpool so in my opinion Manchester City is still playing well, losing Gundogan is not a big problem for Manchester City because they still have a complete squad, especially in the attack line. Even though Manchester City played with a complete squad, including Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, it turned out that Mikel Arteta was able to give Arsenal a good strategy when facing them.

So, if you see Arsenal performing better compared to last season, Real Madrid will also do the same thing. They want to perform better compared to last season in the Champions League where Real Madrid was defeated by Manchester City and this will be an event of revenge for Real Madrid to avenge their defeat, we'll see what Carlo Ancelotti will do in providing his strategy when his club again faces a club that is strong in attack, but Real Madrid's attack is also quite good this season so both clubs will be wary of each other.

If they want to maintain their performance next season then Leverkusen should try to add depth to their squad because they will be playing in the Champions League. The decision to stay is much better than leaving too quickly to take charge of another team because Xabi Alonso needs to prove his quality as a coach. Playing in the Champions League will mean that Xabi needs several quality players because the matches there will be much different from the Bundesliga.

Next season will be a real challenge for Leverkusen. They will play in the Champions League and that is a high level competition. Xabi must be able to rotate players and add variations to match tactics. I think club management will give Xabi a budget to find the players he wants. And for tactics I think if you play at a level like the Champions League you really need a variety of tactics because strong teams from other leagues will look for your weaknesses. And if they find your weaknesses then the teams in the domestic league will also find out your tactical weaknesses if you lack tactics.

The next challenge is that Bayern Munich will be better prepared for Leverkusen. I'm sure this season they really didn't expect Leverkusen to be a problem for them. And they definitely won't let that happen again next season.

Your remark about Leverkusen's issues is valid. Champions League is a different world, and Xabi encounters challenges. This summer matters. Losing important players would be devastating as big clubs approach. We all know that game. It could ripple, thats the risk. We shouldnt rule them out yet. They must find stability under this uncertainty. It'll be crucial for the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Bayern Munich stumbled this season, but they always recover. Analyze, learn, modify. Leverkusen must plan and outwit them. A vibrant, well-oiled team is more important than large signings. Xabi's test is big, but Im optimistic. The beauty of sports is that underdogs can win.

I really wonder who we will see there in the first leg, Haaland or Alvarez?

Saw a video of Josep Pep Guardiola fuming over the games, that they're too occupied. But we all know he is the perfectionists,Yes? So let's see what he's got for us this season.
I can see that he dropped a lot of players on the bench so they'll be fresh when tjrungo on to face Real Madrid in the Champions League Competition come next week.

Not just the both of them, I also saw John Stones who was also reported to be Injured after limping off that game against Belgium during the international duties.

I'm very certain that wasn't no Injury and that he faked it so he could be allowed to report back to his club side. Players these days be lying too much and we know it's clearly lies.

So, if you see Arsenal performing better compared to last season, Real Madrid will also do the same thing. They want to perform better compared to last season in the Champions League where Real Madrid was defeated by Manchester City and this will be an event of revenge for Real Madrid to avenge their defeat, we'll see what Carlo Ancelotti will do in providing his strategy when his club again faces a club that is strong in attack, but Real Madrid's attack is also quite good this season so both clubs will be wary of each other.

Mancity's attack is quite inferior to Real Madrid's. Halaand seems quite ungainly and quite gentle when facing big teams, Mancity's recent scoring has depended a lot on Phil Foden. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's attack is more varied with the duo of Brazil and Bellingham. It's quite difficult for Mancity to play a double attack with Real Madrid. I think a defensive counter-attack and wait for an opportunity will be better for Mancity because Real Madrid is not good at defending against the counter-attack. This could be a point for Mancity to exploit when Real is engrossed in attacking.

[piebeyb]

De Bruyne and Haaland were rested in the Aston Villa match. However Haaland's rest might have a different reason. His form has dropped a lot lately as you know. 

I really wonder who we will see there in the first leg, Haaland or Alvarez?

Haaland has experienced a decline in performance and it seems that he can no longer be relied on in the front line and Guardiola has to place the best substitute player to replace Haaland in the front line. Against Arsenal we saw that Haaland was unable to penetrate their defense as well as other strong teams, except for Manchester city against weak teams, usually Haaland easily scores goals, it is not easy for him against a strong team like Arsenal or a team like Madrid in the UCL later in the first leg of the UCL quarter-finals.

Next season I hope Manchester City has an attacking player to replace Haaland because as we know he can no longer be relied on to be in that position because he can no longer be a goal machine for Manchester City and Guardiola must find a new player next season to replace him. In the next season, Haaland was never able to score a goal against a strong team like in the UCL last season, he couldn't even score and was able to penetrate the opponent's defense easily, always failing to score in the quarter-finals and final of the UCL last season.

I think Xabi Alonso should be allowed to choose the kind of players he wants in his squad and shouldn't be pressured into recruiting big players just because he would be playing in the champions league come next season. He has already proven himself as a good coach by doing what he has done this season with the Leverkusen side, so I don't think anyone is doubting his technical abilities. Xabi Alonso has agreed to continue with Bayern Leverkusen next season despite having several clubs like real madrid, Liverpool and other European elite club wanting to employ him come next season, without any oarta of doubt. I think Bayern Leverkusen are gonna do well in both domestic and European completion as long as they have their coach with them next season.

I think a defensive counter-attack and wait for an opportunity will be better for Mancity because Real Madrid is not good at defending against the counter-attack. This could be a point for Mancity to exploit when Real is engrossed in attacking.

Manchester city defense is not that strong too, and not only the front liners. This would cause a very big problem for them, because if Foden is macked down, it means that we might no see Manchester city score easily on that match day. Another thing with City is that when they want to score, they all move forward. This will give Real Madrid the opportunity of using counter attack to score them.

Vini, Rodrigo and Bellingham will not miss scoring any counter opportunity that will come. City should be more careful, because to me it seems that Real Madrid players are more strong and experienced than Manchester city in the Champions League. Haaland is fading away.
