UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[borovichok]

We know hiring better players and spending too much money can't be the reason for the teams to have a better performance against each other and we just saw that about Real Madrid and Barcelona, Barcelona spent less money than Real Madrid but they won the friendly match they had. This can be the reason to say regardless of the financial issues in Barcelona I think they can also have the chance to even race for the title in the Champions League.

Spending in the transfer window, both teams brought in new players, to enchanced their club and upgrade their performance on the pitch. Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi Hernandez are preeminent rival in La Liga, they basically know how to control their respective squads, it would be exciting to watch another superb performance from Madrid in UEFA and also La Liga. Real Madrid are always one step ahead of Barcelona interms of performance and achievement in elite competitions, Los Blancos barely settled for domestic leagues, always shooting their targets at higher levels, more competitive in tournaments than the bluagrana.

Bayern Munich have failed to exploit a player like Sadio Mane. I think Sadio Mane is an extraordinary forward that can change the team's results at any moment. I still don't understand why Bayern Munich couldn't bring Sadio Mane.

It's football and the performannce from the club determined by eleven people who play in the field. Do you think sadio mane has a big impact on the bayern? the reality said the opposite that what you have said above. Sadio mane unable adapting to the club. The main reason why he was leaving from bayern caused by he is not feeling confidence anymore to stay in the club even longer. Sadio mane was not able to build his chemistry with the club. Don't you remember when he was punched sane on his head? It's the reason why sadio many already sold to the saudi club. He gives no beneficial to the club. He was only causing the problem to appear. The management has been taking the right decision to sell him.

To me it seems that Real Madrid can't build the squad they want. If they could, they would have done that already. Yes they do have financial power and influence and probably the best reputation as an excellent club in the world, but there are hurdles for them as well. They are competing with other top clubs and other rich clubs. If what you said was true, wouldn't Mbappe be already there?

Mbappe just decided to stay in PSG last summer because he was interested in lucrative salary offer from PSG. Real Madrid are a rich club and is a favorite destination of many star players but they are smart and use their money wisely. They did not join the crazy race with PSG because they know such very high salary will cause many problems in their club after Mbappe transfer to Bernabeu.

Or they could have tried to sign Osimhen or Kane, but Kane is now in Munich and Osimhen wants to stay in Napoli. They also didn't get Haaland. That would have solved their current problem already. I think also for Real Madrid times have changed and they are not the one and only option anymore.

Real Madrid did not have interest in Kane, Haaland as well as Osimhen. It seems they are very sure that they will get Mbappe in the next summer so they decided to skip both Kane and Osimhen. Joselu is their temporary solution in a meantime of waiting Mbappe.

Real Madrid didn't join the race for Mbappe last season not because they are smart, but because they can't compete financially with PSG.

This is not true. Real Madrid was definitely interested in Erling Haaland, but they were given the information from Haaland's side that Real Madrid is only his third option. The Marca reported an interview that the father has given publicly. It had also to do with his father's own past as a Manchester City player and that the club was the best project with the best coach at a perfect time. It was the right choice as the win of the Champions League in his first season has now shown.

Financially sound Real Madrid could easily build the squad they want, but I admit that was not the only reason why we won the title. Barcelona, ​​which is continuously rumored to be in poor financial condition, actually impressed in many pre-season matches including when they beat Real Madrid, but that is also not a benchmark that can be the reason that Barcelona will win La Liga this season.

Xavi as a former Barcelona midfield maestro really understands Barcelona well. He works sincerely and builds the quality of his team very well. He has learned a lot from his failures despite the fact that Barcelona's squad depth cannot be expected to succeed in the Champions League. I believe Real Madrid won't beat Barcelona easily, but Real Madrid are a team better prepared to do it.

To me it seems that Real Madrid can't build the squad they want. If they could, they would have done that already.

I think also for Real Madrid times have changed and they are not the one and only option anymore.

I agree because things are looking not as we have few years back money is creating good changes for the all clubs and players are also more conscious about their future and money as well right now things are not going as Real Madrid was expecting, and their pre-season performance is also not as par they were looking for, so now we have to wait how they will be in coming season because in domestic league they are still strong enough to have top two spots but in Champions League now we have few good changes specially after Harry Kane arrival at Bayern Munich is big game changer and Mbappé is still not in pipeline for them mean things are not as they were expecting.

Their current squad is not bad, but they need some more strength which give them good chance for the better result even we have few days left in this all but uncertainty is at the top and situation at the PSG is also not good, hopefully they will be able to secure their best for before it's too late.

Xavi himself really hopes that Barcelona can return to compete for the title in the Champions League this season again after getting several new players at a lower cost when compared to Real Madrid. But Real Madrid also still has the same opportunity as other teams even though the results of the pre-season itself have been very disappointing for Real Madrid and this time everyone will see how Barcelona and Real Madrid navigate the Champions League.

Turkey has went up to 10th place in rankings of country coefficients according to the source: https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/country/#/yr/2024

This means that the Turkish Super League is going to start sending their champion to the Champions League groups stage directly as of next season. This was actually a thing this league had before but after Turkey dropped down from top 10 they lost their place. This is good news for Turkey because it is a huge improvement compared to last season. They were able to send only one team to the Champions League and it wasn't even to the group stage. Turkish teams are making solid transfers lately so hopefully they can also do some good work here.

If we compare the current Barcelona and Real Madrid squads, then Barcelona can be said to be the favourites. Because Barcelona attack Lewandowski, Dembele, Fati, Raphinha are all better players than Vini and Rodrygo. Also in the midfield are Gundagon and De Jong. This Barcelona squad has proved their mettle in the last season. On the other hand, Madrid has become a little weaker after losing Benzema.

Neymar is rumored to be back at Barcelona. If this is true then Barcelona's attack will be stronger. And I think the team will dominate La Liga. Ancelotti should try to sign Mbappe this season. If not, we will see poor performances from Real Madrid in both La Liga and Champions League next season.

Some teams who end up with problems like these could end up having a rougher start and a better ending to the season. But the most important games of Galatasaray is these ones. There aren't that many clubs in Turkey that goes to champions league every single season, it's a rare situation and if they can't be in the group stages, then they might as well not play the rest of the season neither.

Winning the league doesn't seem to be giving a lot, it's like a few million euros, and that means UCL group stages means a lot of money for them. This means that they need to reach to a point where they end up with a good return one way or another, and that seems to be the most important part. Hence, these early games matter more than most late stage games.

Turkish league win has meaning to them but the champions league js always a better peice of the cake. Galatasaray has a good team this season that can maybe even pass the group faze and thats what the fans want to see. So far their fans can be satisfied

Turkish teams are lacking of funds and quality as well which is important for the having any fair chance to go into knock out stage, but these are never been strong enough for this but in current season as I am watching things are looking better as Galatasaray is investing good amount and having services of few quality players which can give them good result even most chances they will be won again in domestic league but if they are able to go into last 16 then surely things could be more than impressive from their side.

In early matches their performance is good, and they are having good chance to be in better spot but still they need to improve performance and increased quality, hopefully we will have better end for them in all competitions and things could be also good for these teams to go through for the long run in UEFA competitions.

Dembele has officially joined PSG, they have announced it on the club's official Instagram account. the two clubs, both Barcelona and Real Madrid, still have deficiencies in several sectors, indeed the two clubs are also still the favorites in the UCL besides Munich and Man City.

So far there is still a lot of speculation regarding Benzema replacement, after it was reported that Mbappe would stay at PSG until his contract expired. The possibility of Neymar returning to Barca is also still very small, but all possibilities can still occur in the remaining time of the transfer window.

The Turkish league might not be as attractive as the English, Italian, Spanish, and German leagues but it is natural to see Turkish teams like Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray in the Champions League. Galatasaray has been the most successful Turkish side in European competition haven won UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup but has not won the Champions League. This is indeed great news for the Turkish league and with UEFA proposing to increase the competitors from 32 to 36 teams in the 2024-25 season, the Turkish league will have more chances in the future.

Neymar is rumored to be back at Barcelona. If this is true then Barcelona's attack will be stronger. And I think the team will dominate La Liga. Ancelotti should try to sign Mbappe this season. If not, we will see poor performances from Real Madrid in both La Liga and Champions League next season.

Currently, Barcelona can be assumed to have some best and most experienced players in La Liga. The main challenge now might be the ability of coach Xavi to harness these quality players to get the expected result. Real Madrid might be having the problem of replacing Benzema but nobody should underestimate the quality of the young players in Real Madrid. Those young players are been groomed by one the most experienced coach in the world Carlo Ancelotti.

Neymar is rumored to be back at Barcelona. If this is true then Barcelona's attack will be stronger. And I think the team will dominate La Liga. Ancelotti should try to sign Mbappe this season. If not, we will see poor performances from Real Madrid in both La Liga and Champions League next season.

As we know that Mbappe will finish his contract with PSG so I think it will be difficult to bring Mbappe in the near future unless Madrid buys him at a high price, even so it might be very difficult to see Barcelona if they have Neymar because in the midfield and up front they are players all good enough that it will make it difficult for Madrid to chase the La Liga title.

So far, what I see is that Real Madrid don't have a strong attack power because they haven't really found anyone to replace Benzema on the front lines, especially since there are many new players who may still not adapt quickly. Of course, Ancelotti must think about that so he can take advantage of the remaining time in the transfer market. and brought in players to replace Benzema up front.

[Pulsar77]

It is totally normal if Barcelona can't win the Champions League title for a while. Because this team is in development phase now. They are rebuilding with very young players and trying to gain experience in this tournament as much as possible too. But they should still be able to fight better in the group stage. Because the recent two years have been really terrible for Barcelona. Their brand value is also affected badly as long as they continue to play group matches like that.

Barcelona officials don't want to sign a contract extension with Xavi yet. Because they must be wishing to see consistency in the La Liga and a bigger success in the Champions League.

The management has been taking the right decision to sell him.

No doubt about this all his departure from Liverpool to Bayern Munich was for the better salary, but his adoption was not as par expectations and his injury and behavior was also not good with third problem started when we have change of coach as well these all things gone again him and at the end we have him now into Saudi League for the better future.

At Liverpool, he was doing impressive just because of this all Bayern Munich take him with the highest amount but things never been same for the all players as we have Robert Lewandowski doing impressive at Barcelona and now expectations are also high for the Harry Kane but who never know about this all hopefully now things will be at his best and these players will be able to do as the requirements from their respective clubs.

[Litzki1990]

Bayern Munich has a top striker for next season's champions league and now they are a threat again for other teams after last season was not so convincing because there was no good finisher in front of the opponent's goal. Thomas Tuchel is very sure that the presence of Harry Kane will make Bayern Munich more mature and he can apply the strategy he wants. On the other hand, Harry Kane is certainly very happy because he can return to appear in Europe's highest competition and if he stays at Spurs he will lose his chance to play. Is it possible that Bayern Munich will surprise all the teams and advance to the Champions League final? we have to wait what happens next.

Tottenham's all-time top scorer Harry Kane will play for Bayern Munich in the Champions League next season. At the moment Bayern Munich is a very strong team for the Champions League as their squad is now full. Last season or the season before where they missed a main striker and a quality finisher hopefully they will not miss a quality finisher again from next season. Harry Kane has been the season's top scorer for Tottenham several times, as good as Harry Kane has been for Tottenham, hopefully he will perform better for Bayern Munich. The upcoming Champions League season is going to be very interesting as this will be Harry Kane's first time playing in the Champions League.

it would be better for Barcelona to be patient in a few seasons not to focus too much on UCL matches or not to focus too much on the champions league title but to focus more on getting reliable young players to be built into quality players and selling them to improve their finances and other ways maybe young players who managed to build into a high-quality player Barcelona can sell old players to make a profit and improve Barcelona finances to be able to get other quality players to strengthen each line and chase the champions league title.
no wonder if this season Barcelona will fail again in the UCL but they will focus on the La Liga title this season.

and for Real Madrid this season also looks like it will fail because it has not succeeded in recruiting Mbappe and currently does not have a reliable striker. although very sad to hear it but Im sure next season Madrid will win the title.

Tottenham's all-time top scorer Harry Kane will play for Bayern Munich in the Champions League next season. At the moment Bayern Munich is a very strong team for the Champions League as their squad is now full. Last season or the season before where they missed a main striker and a quality finisher hopefully they will not miss a quality finisher again from next season.

The upcoming Champions League season is going to be very interesting as this will be Harry Kane's first time playing in the Champions League.

Now we have two teams that can be considered fully equipped - City and Bayern. I hope that we will see a third team - Real Madrid (if Mbappe goes there, the probability of which is very high) and then this season of the Champions League will be really interesting and valuable (unlike the previous one).

Yes right, if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid at this moment, then next season in the  Champions League will be very interesting. Because yes, Haaland at Manchester City, Kane at Bayern Munich and Mbappe if he plays for Real Madrid of course it will compete at a club that is also a candidate for the title. If than happen then of course, this competition will be even more and more interesting, but unfortunately, Mbappe is still not certain to leave. Because, even though Mbappe is still playing in the Champions League with PSG, at least PSG is not a title candidate team in the Champions League, so the tension might not be as interesting as if Mbappe was playing at Real Madrid.

Actually, not only Mbappe to make Real Madrid's line-up balanced, other players can do it, including Joselu, as long as he can show and prove his best game. Indeed, maybe some of us will see based on their fame, but that does not guarantee that they will be able to really display the game as expected.
It could be that the player who is always placed when Benzema doesn't play is different this season, yes it is Rodrygo. Who knows, they will be able to perform better than the players who are associated with Real Madrid now.

Dembele has officially joined PSG, they have announced it on the club's official Instagram account. the two clubs, both Barcelona and Real Madrid, still have deficiencies in several sectors, indeed the two clubs are also still the favorites in the UCL besides Munich and Man City.

So far there is still a lot of speculation regarding Benzema replacement, after it was reported that Mbappe would stay at PSG until his contract expired. The possibility of Neymar returning to Barca is also still very small, but all possibilities can still occur in the remaining time of the transfer window.

Even if Dembele is not in Barcelona, Barcelona will not suffer too much. Barcelona's attack is strong without Dembele. Raphinha and Fati are not experienced enough. However, if used properly, they can also become disruptive. However, Barcelona and Real Madrid still have several weaknesses in their squads. If we think about Champions League platform, then Barcelona and Madrid will be far behind Munich and City. City and Munich are the favorites for next season's Champions League.

Mbappe himself is probably suffering from indecision. PSG are willing to sell him. But Mbappe will not leave PSG. Heard rumors that Mbappe wants to go to Real Madrid so he won't leave PSG. But Mbappe doesn't want to leave PSG even after Florentina Perez is interested in buying Mbappe. However, Real Madrid definitely needs an experienced striker. If not, Real Madrid will not be able to dominate La Liga next season.

To me it seems that Real Madrid can't build the squad they want. If they could, they would have done that already. Yes they do have financial power and influence and probably the best reputation as an excellent club in the world, but there are hurdles for them as well. They are competing with other top clubs and other rich clubs. If what you said was true, wouldn't Mbappe be already there? Or they could have tried to sign Osimhen or Kane, but Kane is now in Munich and Osimhen wants to stay in Napoli. They also didn't get Haaland. That would have solved their current problem already. I think also for Real Madrid times have changed and they are not the one and only option anymore.

I agree because things are looking not as we have few years back money is creating good changes for the all clubs and players are also more conscious about their future and money as well right now things are not going as Real Madrid was expecting, and their pre-season performance is also not as par they were looking for, so now we have to wait how they will be in coming season because in domestic league they are still strong enough to have top two spots but in Champions League now we have few good changes specially after Harry Kane arrival at Bayern Munich is big game changer and Mbappé is still not in pipeline for them mean things are not as they were expecting.

It is not always money and people should realize that. Real Madrid may look like they are spending a lot of money but there were other teams who spent more than them and did not get the same results, or City looks like they are spending a lot but there were teams that spent more and still didn't get the same results.

Yes, this is still a lot of money we are talking about but look at Inter, they didn't spend anywhere even remotely same amount of money as these two teams and still went to finals as well. So all in all, even a team with less money spent could go there. People see the valuation of the team and think that they spent a lot, but some of those players were bought for cheap and value a lot more now because they did well in their teams.
