UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

I have to admit that Barcelona had an impressive performance against PSG. Of course this is not a surprise to me because I know the character of Barcelona's game, I mean as long as they have a good midfielder then they can be expected to beat any team (although they don't always win).

Barcelona's defense was relatively good at maintaining Kylian Mbappe's space throughout the match, it was proven that Mbappe couldn't do much other than open up space for other players such as Dembele, Vitinha and Lee Kang In. Asensio also couldn't do much in that match, but Barcelona also had weaknesses. They lost concentration and composure when Dembele and Vitinha scored two goals to give PSG the lead, but Xavi made the right decision afterwards by playing Pedri and Joao Felix.

Xavi Hernandez deserves not to go at all, he is the right man for Barcelona players. All he needed was signings to back him up. But right now they're not enough still but he has brought in two to three players into that squad at most the midfied and the defense to give them balance.
Allowing two goals in the space of minutes got me thinking if they had eventually lost the game to Paris Saint Germans. They have the right mentality, thanks to leadership roles on the pitch from IIkay Gundogan and also Robert Lewandoski last night. Having such figures made them push till the end.

Kylian Mbappe did not play anything, though I will say if he was used as the main number nine hoe many chances did the squad create for him?
Solid defending for Barcelona anyways. The right wing was well utilized.

In the PSG - Barcelona match, for me the opponents are equal, despite the fact that PSG is playing at home, I think that they will not have a big advantage, and the match can be cautious, there will not be many goals, so one goal can decide the outcome of the match.

At the beginning of the match PSG pressed and pressed the opponent, but lately Barcelona literally chokes PSG, makes dangerous strikes, they seem to have caught the courage, and it is important for them not to lose it until they score the first goal. In addition, Barcelona have full possession of the ball, PSG only need to counterattack at every opportunity

The first half was won by Barcelona with a goal by Raphinha in the 37th minute,and I think if Barcelona managed to win in this first leg it might be a surprising result too. Because after all, Barcelona played away and based on predictions also at least Barcelona will not be easy or do not have a good chance to be able to beat PSG in this firstleg. Therefore, at least a draw may be the result that will occur in thismatch. Butyes, the fact is that Barcelona has managed to win in the first half and of course, with a win in the first half with a score of 0-1 like this, it will certainly make Barcelona maintain it optimally in the second half until the match ends.

Nevertheless they conceded two goals just after the break, apparently Enrique got his team in the right mood, although it didn't help, Rafinha was the hero of the match and it was beautiful, an away win, now all that remains is to contain PSG at home and they are in the semi-finals. I think they're more than capable of doing that

Arsenal vs Munich I saw the debate on social media when Raya passed to Gabriel and held hands. There was an opinion if it should have been a penalty, but it seems that the Referee did not see, because he had his back to the ball. If it was me then it should be a penalty for Munich.
Of course the draw is not so detrimental because they will meet in the 2nd leg in Germany. Munich should be able to do a lot in Germany. They should be able to win and qualify for the semi-finals.  They are lucky because they already have 2 away goals.

A different point of view from most people's judgments, but the referee has his own assessment of his decision. A draw makes Arsenal's chances of qualifying for the next round slightly smaller because they will visit Bayern Munich's headquarters so Arsenal will face much greater pressure. Arsenal are playing well at home but they are still a little weaker in the defensive area and Arteta will have to try to evaluate the defense when they play in Germany.

Bayern Munich is indeed superior, especially since they managed to score two goals in the first leg. If Arteta is unable to change the new strategy then I am sure Bayern Munich will come out victorious in the second leg. Playing at home to Bayern Munich is not easy because Arsenal had disappointing results in the previous season when facing them.

PSG 2 - 3 Barcelona

To be honest, I'm not surprised by this result and the high number of goals they had in that game. This is because both teams have great weaknesses in defense and both teams are at the same level. In my opinion, both teams are weak for this competition, neither of these two teams is capable of becoming champions of the champions league. That's why, in my opinion, either of these two teams can go to another stage. Barcelona has a good squad, but in my opinion they need a good coach capable of better managing the good squad they have. Xavi did his best, but he hasn't been able to turn Barcelona into a strong team at the level of winning the European Champions League, even winning the league is an almost impossible mission.

About PSG, they still need to improve a lot, unfortunately they have made meaningless signings in attack and if Mbappe leaves the team, then the chances of winning the European Champions League become zero percent. In my opinion, the PSG coach needs to focus better when the market opens, they need to know how to make better choices, maybe it would even be the case that they hired a coach just to give them advice on good players, because it's unbelievable how they have done bad hires

The match I watched yesterday was filled with surprises to be honest, and wasn’t really waiting for a such result, Barcelona winning it possible, but 2-3 and a great come back from them was a proof of the strength of young players. Apparently, PSG is like every year the players were super cold when it comes to holding the good results and that happened many times in previous years, We can’t decide if the issue is with the players, the coach or the whole team management, while they have all resources to win the match, they have got defeated by a humble team of inexperienced players and a new coach for UEFA champions League.

I will predict that the 2nd leg match in Barcelona will be easier for them with less pressure, knowing that they were playing for a draw in 1st leg but ending up winning was a step for more confidence in Xavi’s players. What the player Ousmane Dembélé did after scoring against his old team was a shame, even if he was just intending to show his new team abilities and seriousness, he could apologize maybe, the opposite he also talked again that PSG will easily win the 2nd leg and how small Barcelona is in his eyes, after the respect he received previously with them, it’s not okay for a football player.

Yep, it's true that this draw seemed to open up the opportunity for Manchester City to advance to the next round because Real Madrid couldn't score a goal to give Manchester City an aggregate difference in that match. It's a shame that Real Madrid was unable to take advantage of the home advantage in this match and made things difficult for Manchester. City, the 3 goals scored by Real Madrid were the same as in vain because Manchester City also scored 3 goals to achieve a draw. This is the strategy used by Pep Guardiola, he puts pressure on Real Madrid even though he cannot beat Real Madrid at Madrid's headquarters, but Manchester City will try to beat Real Madrid in the second leg because Manchester City has a greater chance of playing at home.

The strategy used by Carlo Ancelotti is actually good, but the strategy used by Pep Guardiola is more effective in reaching Real Madrid's defense, Manchester City can control the ball well so it can make things difficult for Real Madrid, even though technically both clubs still have a chance to advance to the next round but Real Madrid's chances are not as big as Manchester City's, their competition looks very fierce in the race for the Champions League title and they don't seem to want to miss any opportunities at any second.

The draw between the UCL heavyweights gives Man City more advantage especially as they’ll now be playing the return leg in their home and with the way you saw them in the first leg, you’ll know Pep and his boys still have a lot up their sleeves and will be willing to use the home advantage against Ancelotti. I think the return leg will be one thrilling encounter as both teams are on a good note.

 Real Madrid weren’t bad either just that the moments they let the game slip away, City were always present to let those to their own advantages and as a result were able to level the scoreline. This is going to be a big worry fir Ancelotti because he needs to make sure his boys are up and running at the Etihad.

 ⁠Man City won’t relax in their home ground in front of their home fans but you can’t overlook the game between these two as it’s a game of who is who and anything can happen especially as the away goal rule has been scrapped. With the right tactics any of them can be able to make it through to the semis.

 The strategies by both coaches aren’t bad as we’re not expecting anything less in the matches between them as these two are the major contenders for the UCL trophy.  I still have huge hopes on Madrid winning rather than Man City as they’re a better squad as you can see in the match few days ago.

Playing at home to Bayern Munich is not easy because Arsenal had disappointing results in the previous season when facing them.

If Arsenal loses in the second leg, then that means Bayern Munich will be in the semifinals this season. In another match, Manchester City has a big chance of beating Real Madrid at the Etihad after drawing 3-3 at the Bernabeu, so Bayern Munich and Manchester City will be in the semifinals if this scenario is real. I hope this scenario is true, but we'll see.

Underrated Barcelona managed to inflict defeat on PSG at home, while Dortmund also lost to Atletico Madrid. If Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both qualify for the semifinals, then the Manchester City vs Barcelona final looks like it will become a reality. I call it possible, even if most people disagree.

atletico madrid 2 - 1 dortmund

This is a result that didn't surprise me but I forgot to bet on Atlético Madrid to win this game. Atlético started the game very well, scored 2 goals in the first half and then started defending more than attacking, probably to manage time and avoid wear and tear on their players, but Dortmund managed to score a goal and that means that in second leg game at dortmund's home things won't be easy for atlético madrid, in my opinion if dortmund plays well in the second leg, then they will be able to move on to another stage

Yeah actually it was obvious that atletico madrid will win the match because Borussia Dortmund has really shown a lot of weakness on this season and even on there local league they have not really secure any good position and there qualification to champions League next season is not even sure because they are still on the fifth position, however if they put more effort on there remaining matches they can be able to bring RB Leipzig down from the fourth position.

However on there match with Atletico madrid was a nightmare to them because right from the beginning Atletico madrid did not give them much opportunity because there defense and attacking force was very strong and also there early goal gave them more encouragement to be more consistent, however at first I was even thinking Atletico madrid will score more than what they did because they had more good opportunities than Borussia Dortmund.

The draw between the UCL heavyweights gives Man City more advantage especially as they’ll now be playing the return leg in their home and with the way you saw them in the first leg, you’ll know Pep and his boys still have a lot up their sleeves and will be willing to use the home advantage against Ancelotti. I think the return leg will be one thrilling encounter as both teams are on a good note.

Real Madrid made a great mistake by playing draw in the first leg of the match, they should have tried and win the match, playing draw in the first leg of the match is really a great advantage to Manchester city, do Real Madrid think they will visit Manchester city at home, and they will easily win, seriously the match is not going to be a easy one for Real Madrid, Manchester city will do everything possible not to allow Real Madrid win in the second leg of the match.

This is going to be a big worry fir Ancelotti because he needs to make sure his boys are up and running at the Etihad.

Seriously the match is going to be a interesting one, because the two clubs will want to win the match, but it’s not going to be a easy one for both of them, but I just think Manchester city might end up winning the match just because they are playing at Etihad, so let’s see how the match will go.

[Weawant]

true, you are right, they were very exciting matches full of goals
I have to say that the Real Madrid match entertained me a lot and we saw 6 goals! When this is the case they are a sight to behold with changes of pitch and dominance, a real spectacle for us fans.
That among other things, in my opinion was the real final

Real Madrid was actually very epic with their performance and it was worth every of the moment, for me this happens to be one of their best performance in the fact that they have been to perform well even when this match was actually considered one of the toughest they have had to play this season in the champions league, both teams did canes prepared and showed that they were actually in their best form.

Manchester city wasn't left out in the whole action as they too also showed in their performance that they were actually very much ready for the match and were hoping to win but then it turned out that Madrid wouldn't let the defending champions see an opportunity to defend the trophy they have been able to win iñ the previous season, the next fixture will get Real Madrid playing from their home and hopefully this time they will be able to secure victory as a victory in that game will most likely secure them a spot at the next stage of the league.

I think Manchester city may not be really lucky in the second meeting except they are going to play with a complete squad such that they will be having all their key players present in the games else they will most likely be knocked out or a draw may lead to penalty and it becomes solely a game of luck for both sides because in penalty shoot out, anything can happen and any one could emerge winner.

The good opportunities that Atletico Madrid often squandered in the first half really made us disappointed, but there were also a lot of opportunities in the second half that were wasted, but fortunately Atletico were able to secure victory in that match, but this narrow victory makes me worried in the second leg. 2 later.
Initially I believed that at least Atletico Madrid would not concede but it turned out that Haller easily scored 1 score to reduce the difference in aggregate points.
Atletico Madrid in the upcoming match will definitely be a little difficult to be able to carry out consecutive attacks to get an even bigger score while playing away is not an easy task.
My hope for Atletico Madrid is just to score 2 scores and change their strategy to defense to lock in victory at the end of the match.

This is what I called the game of luck, and it goes to Barcelona because I was very surprised to see them win against PSG, which was still PSG playing a home game, but due to luck they were able to win because what amazes me the most is when PSG got their two goals within just the interval of two minutes, even when Barcelona scored their second goal, I was not so sucked because, knowing that PSG is mostly the coolest and strongest in the Champions League, losing against Barcelona will be very challenging, but since the fresh blood that is playing for Barcelona will not be surprising if they win, I don't think PSG can still make it in the second leg because Barcelona will have more confidence since they have won an away game. They will still like to win the home game, but PSG's performance was still good, and they might react to win them back.

I am not underestimating Arsenal and their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals this season, even if Arsenal are unseeded when they travel to Germany in the second leg. Bayern Munich is very likely to lose even though they are playing at home, but of course Arsenal must be very careful when starting the match and must be able to avoid mistakes.

There is certainly big pressure for Arsenal when Bayern Munich are favorites at home, but if Arteta and his squad have learned from experience, then Arsenal's mentality should not be disturbed. There is plenty of time for both teams to prepare their squads and best strategies, but both teams seem to have one domestic match before the second leg starts.

They will still like to win the home game, but PSG's performance was still good, and they might react to win them back.

Barcelona against PSG was an interesting match to witness and for us we have taken it to predict that PSG is going to win over Barcelona since PSG seems to be more powerful right now than Barcelona does, hence reverse was the case and from a fair, simple analysis, one could have every reason to say that PSG is likely to win, or at least secure a draw, since they are at home and not away.

Looking at the performances of both teams in their respective leagues, PSG is doing awesomely well in League 1. In fact, PSG is currently the leading club in League 1 with 10 points different from the second position in the table standing, whereas Barcelona are the second in position, dragging the second position with Girona, and has been defeated by Real Madrid, who are 75 points in the league, whereas Barcelona is 67 points.

Having mentioned all of this, looking at how powerful PSG seems to be, one would easily take PSG to be of an advantage, especially since they are at home. But reverse was the case. So PSG must do magic in their second leg if they want to secure a win to the semi-finals, which at this point seems daunting.

Arsenal need great luck to beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena, I certainly don't mean to underestimate Arteta fleet which is on fire, but that's the fact. Bayern experience in the Champions League is not in doubt, even though they are currently unstable in the Bundesliga, Tuchel fleet has managed to show a different performance.

However, if Arteta is able to find a more effective strategy, of course victory will be on their side, and I think it is possible that the winner will be determined by going to the penalty shootout round. In simple terms, with unstable performance alone, Bayern was able to hold Arsenal to a draw, who were in their best performance.

It is clear that in the second leg Arsenal should be more careful, Bayern will look dominant when playing in front of their own supporters. However, if Tuchel is careless in determining his starting XI, then Arsenal will have a good chance of winning the match. That's right, both teams have one domestic match that must be completed first, before the second leg returns.

[TelolettOm]

Bayern Munich is very likely to lose even though they are playing at home, but of course Arsenal must be very careful when starting the match and must be able to avoid mistakes.

Based on the match in the first leg yesterday, we can say that Arsenal's performance was quite convincing, not only in possession of the ball but also in attack. Bayern were indeed quite strong, but at that time, they didn't have many opportunities to get the ball. And even to reach their realm of attack, it was quite difficult. As a result, of the 2 shots on target they had, both scored goals. This made Bayern's enthusiasm come back to be motivated again. especially in Bavaria. So, I don't know what it will be like in the second leg, but I'm sure that Bayern will be able to turn their situation around to become superior.

[Nheer]

Seriously the match is going to be a interesting one, because the two clubs will want to win the match, but it’s not going to be a easy one for both of them, but I just think Manchester city might end up winning the match just because they are playing at Etihad, so let’s see how the match will go.

Manchester City have all the advantage to themselves now playing at home and having a lot of their fans is a big flex and they wouldn’t want to disappoint them. Playing draw at Santiago Benebeu is a big mistake for Real Madrid but i believe they will not make it easy for Manchester City regardless. The match is still unpredictable and anything can happen so having the home advantage doesn’t guarantee anything for Manchester City, they will have to fight so hard till the end. It will be a very interesting match to watch just as the first leg that i don’t think i can miss the game for anything.

If anyone asked before the first match PSG vs. Barcelona wether the chances could ever be better, no, I think that Barcelona now has a special situation where they know that they can turn a season, or something much more than that, into positive momentum for the whole club. I was wonderung how Enrique must feel, getting destoyed by his old home while going to a Ligue 1 club. Probably not all that good!

People are asking several questions on whether Arsenal will be able to defeat Bayern at Bayern's home,but I know what Arsenal are made of now.It is going to be a tough match,but I see Arsenal coming out to be the Winner of that encounter.One thing I've loved about this Arsenal team is that,when it seems you've lost faith in them,is when they will turn out to surprise you,and win well.
I trust in Arteta,the squad,the tactics and the way Arsenal are composed these days when facing big teams.It is a win win for Arsenal,and I'm optimistic about that.

I literally had this talk with a few friends today. If Arsenal could be able to beat Bayern Munich at home, haven’t lost that chance to make good use of their home advantage especially, with the absence of fans support for Bayern Munich but still ended up drawing with Bayern. Like, I saw the enthusiastic nature of the Arteta side, the eagerness to end the game in a win but, they already let Bayern get ahead of them and coming back from behind to take the lead against such a team and even with a few formal EPL league players on the team wasn’t going to come without some serious challenge.

It’s going to be a really tough challenge for Arsenal and Arteta who has little managerial knowledge in the EPL but, I think his squad is good enough to see Bayern out.

In my opinion, Barcelona is not a terrible team neither, so losing to them doesn't really feel like it was a horrible thing, it happens. Obviously PSG wants to win, who wouldn't want to win, but at the same time I feel like we are overreacting to the loss, Barcelona is Barcelona and losing to them is not a bad thing.

I personally believe that the best thing to do in this situation would be just forgetting about the first game, and focus on the second leg. That way, PSG could feel a bit better, if they keep thinking about "how did we lose that game" and be mad about it until the next game, then they are going to have another bad game as well. So, they should end up making something better and forget about the first leg.
