UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Group F is complicated due to the shocking results witnessed. It is difficult to predict the teams that would qualify because of the presence of elite teams. However Newcastle shocked everyone with their outstanding performance last night in St James' Park stadium against Paris Saint-Germain. An entertaining game were the Magpies nailed Les Parisiens 4-1, such scores boosts Newcastle to first spot in the group, however AC Milan and Borrusia Dortmund are relenting behind, having no solid points to compete with Newcastle and PSG. Every team will focused on winning.

To be honest, I didn't watch this match because I preferred the Porto vs Barcelona match. However, if I refer to the match statistics between these two teams, PSG actually controlled the game in both the first and second half. PSG had 73% ball possession, but they didn't create many chances and only had 1 big chance, 2 shots on target from 11 attempted shots.

Well, what makes me confused is why Enrique is experimenting in a crucial match like this match. he implemented a 4-2-3-1 system, even though Enrique mastered the 4-3-3 pattern. As for PSG's ideal system, Enrique should implement 3-4-3. Or, Enrique should play Kolo Muani as the sole striker and Goncalo Ramos behind him. Maybe that way, Paris Saint-Germain will not be embarrassed in this match. Next, I'm curious about what Enrique will do in the next fight.

As for Dortmund versus AC Milan, this match is quite balanced. However, Milan has more opportunities than Dortmund. they had 3 big chances, while Dortmund had none. This match is in accordance with my estimates which I previously predicted. In the next match, this group match will still be quite exciting for us to watch, be it PSG, Newcastle, Milan and even Dortmund.

Milan's next match will be even more interesting to watch because Milan will face PSG who are currently in second place in the group standings. So Milan must try to win so that they can put themselves in that position by eliminating PSG from that position because these two teams have a real chance of taking second place in the group by winning in the next match. Although there is another possibility for PSG if Newcastle is unable to win the next match.

I don’t think that Milan will play strictly to win - in the end the game will be in Paris and they will most likely have to fend off PSG for which this match will also be decisive. Taking into account the fact that this will be a doubles game (after the game in Paris, the next game will be in Milan), I think Milan will try, first of all, not to lose. The game Newcastle - Dortmund will be more uncompromising, it seems to me. Dortmund only have one point and need to start winning, while Newcastle will try to solve most of their qualification problem in this game. With 7 points after 3 games they will 90% secure a ticket to the 1/8.

The impossible happened in yesterday's match, no one expected that Newcastle United would be able to make PSG surrender at the hands of Newcastle United. Of course this is an extraordinary thing for a club that has just returned to playing in the European caste to have given a surprise like this, possession of the ball in Newcastle United's camp has indicated that this club will be a frightening specter in group F, Newcastle United is not only a strong team but they have become complete players on all sides in attack, midfield, wingers and defense all in one, that's what makes Newcastle United able to dominate group F of the Champions League.

Yes, no one expected at all that Newcastle would be able to win even with a very big score. Newcastle fans witnessed history when their team returned to playing in the Champions League after not hearing the Champions League anthem echo in St. Petersburg for quite a long time. James Park and was able to overthrow PSG, which incidentally was the top team in Europe's elite competition.

During the drawing process, I had doubts about Newcastle because they were in the "Hell" group, but in the two matches they had gone through they managed to break many people's predictions, achieving four points was an extraordinary result. Eddy Howe as manager deserves praise because he is able to manage the team quite well. The Toon Army game is also able to compete with world star players. I am truly amazed by their achievements.

I think one of the reasons PSG lost was their match strategy . PSG youngster luis enriue wanted to control  the match with possession of the ball. They have placed more emphasis on ball possession than attacking more. I would say this match strategy only applies to La Liga. It is very difficult to win in the Champions League or Premier League with such tactics. Because Premier League teams usually play very fast. They attack and counterattack quickly. And I think that's why PSG lost. Luis Enrique's team is not doing well. At the same time his match strategy is also weak. I don't see any future for PSG in this Champions League.

Newcastle were on a roll from the very beginning of the match, and a quick goal also added strength to their further assault. PSG’s mistake was to allow Newcastle to play so close to their goal, then there was a controversial moment that was considered for a long time by VAR, there was also a handball, which was obvious, but the goal was counted and this is another moment that ruined the game for PSG.

Newcastle were stronger and they proved it in the second half, PSG did not know how to act, they rarely face teams that press them so actively, and besides, the effect of the stadium was simply stunning, Newcastle fans miss the Champions League.

I think PSG didn't take the Newcastle team seriously. They considered the Newcastle team weak. And the PSG coach has not properly done his homework on newcastle . As a result  psg team has performed so badly.  Newcastle team is performing steadily. But I find it hard to accept the fact  that they beat a team like PSG 4-1. PSG's defense is full of  talented players. However  newcastle players scored four goals. This has been due to PSG's tactical weakness. However, Luis Enrique must identify his team's weaknesses very quickly, and take appropriate steps to correct those weaknesses. The performance of the team in Ligue 1 is not good. If this continues, PSG will not be able to do well in the Champions League and will not be able to win the Ligue 1 title.

Newcastle are considered to be the most inexperienced team in Group F. This team is new to the Champions League platform. However, they are now top of the table. They got a great win against PSG. I thought the match might be competitive. But in the match we saw the dominance of Newcastle players. After sharing the points against Milan in the away match, the team got a great win in the home match.
However, Group F has become more competitive. Milan have drawn both of their matches. On the other hand, the Dortmund team is strong but they have earned only 1 point in two matches. Milan and Dortmund will surely battle it out in their next match to climb the table. Every match in Group F will be very competitive.

There is something more important to this win and that is the margin by which they won. If they end up being equal in points with PSG and they share rank 2 and 3, the direct comparison will decide which team will advance to the next stage in the Champions League and which team will be relegated into the Europa League. Winning 4-1 can be so important because PSG would have to beat Newcastle at least 3-0 to then have the goal difference decide about the order in the table. I think that's one reason why this defeat is really bad for PSG. It raises the pressure even more for the next games.

You are right. PSG lost by a big margin. And in this they may face problems. PSG lost the away match by 4-1. It is unlikely that PSG will win the home match by 3 goals. As I have seen Newcastle's gameplay, it is very difficult to beat this team by 3 goals. Because even when Newcastle play attacking, they never leave their defence vulnerable. The team has not been in good form in the Premier League at the start of this season. Even then, they conceded only 7 goals in 7 matches.
However, I think Newcastle and PSG are more likely to qualify for the knockout rounds. I had higher expectations from the Milan team. But their performance is a bit slow. They probably want to focus entirely on Serie A.

Milan's performance will be at a level that can increase over time. Even though they seem to be a little behind for now, they still have a chance to get out of the group. The Newcastle matches will be decisive for them. They drew in Milan in the first match, but they must beat them in England. Milan is also a team that can win against PSG. They just haven't shown their strength yet.

The Milan team is strong. They are able to play well enough in Serie A. The team qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League last season. However, they are not doing well this season. They drew in both matches. AC Milan will play an away match against PSG in the next match. PSG will be hard to beat at home. At the same time PSG will try to bounce back from their defeat against Newcastle to get 3 points against Milan, the match will be competitive. But looking at Milan's performance in the two matches, I can't say they are favorites against PSG. However, if the team fails to win against PSG, it will be almost impossible for Milan to qualify for the round of 16. I would say this match will be kind of do-or-die match for Milan.

I think the Atletico Madrid vs Feyenoord match is quite interesting, even though Atletico Madrid dominates possession of the ball, statistically Feyenoord is better than Atletico Madrid.
Feyenoord fired 17 shots and 7 shots on goal, their attacks were also quite dangerous, especially Igor Paixao who always fired very narrow long-range shots that hit the crossbar and some were saved by Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
And the next match in Group E is between Celtic and Lazio and in the two meetings between the two, Celtic always won.

Feyenoord lost not because they played badly, but I can say that luck was not on their side in this match. The statistics or opportunities they created were actually more than Atletico Madrid, but their attacks always ended in failure and made them only able to create 2 goals and one of the goals they created from was an own goal.
They exchanged goals, and Alvaro Morata's goal in the 47th minute sealed the victory for Atletico Madrid. I honestly didn't expect Feyenoord to put up such a fight.

In the UEFA Champions League today Newcastle vs PSG team's performance was very good. Newcastle team won the match by 4 goals. But PSG team player scored 1 goal in the match. PSG team player L. Hernández scored 1 goal in 56 minutes. However.  L. Hernández he played very well in this match. If PSG team could have played well from the beginning in this match, maybe they could have scored some more goals. But PSG team's goalkeeper did not play very well for which PSG team lost the match by 4 goals.

It was a surprise for me that the Newcastle team was able to achieve a landslide victory against PSG because we all know that the PSG team players were much better than the Newcastle team players, but the Newcastle players in that match played with passion and creativity so that the PSG players experienced difficulty. Even though the PSG players were able to control the game with higher ball position accuracy than the Newcastle team, unfortunately they were unable to create many dangerous opportunities towards the opposing team's goal, so in the second half the PSG players changed their way of playing, but it still didn't produce results which is good for them.

That's right, didn't expect Newcastle to actually do it, yes beat PSG. Previously, I predicted that PSG would be able to utilize all the attributes it had to beat Newcastle. In the end, unexpectedly, PSG collapsed with a crushing defeat at St. James Park. Newcastle marked their return to the UCL by humiliating the Ligue 1 giants, Luis Enrique hands weren't exactly cool and his experience in the UCL didn't work out as expected.

Newcastle deserved to win, they showed strong ambition to win, something that PSG did not show in that match. Despite dominating the game, PSG were unable to play more effectively and threaten Newcastle goal. In the end, PSG had to admit for the umpteenth time that EPL clubs were still difficult to beat. Congratulations to Newcastle.

[ndutndut]

I will never match Newcastle United and PSG, especially if everyone thinks the match is full of competition. Because PSG's defense is so weak that they perform poorly against other teams. Newcastle United had 10 shots on goal, while PSG only had 7 shots on goal. And Newcastle United managed to score 4 goals and PSG only managed to score 1 goal, proving that Newcastle United is definitely a strong team.

Even though PSG lost to Newcastle, my prediction remains that in the end PSG will win Group F. In the PSG match against Newcastle, I was also confused by Enrique's decision to use this strategy and what was meant by the rolling formation, Mbappe was used as a playmaker. But in my opinion, it is also good that PSG lost and were humiliated by Newcastle so that Enrique will use this as a lesson and will learn not to experiment again in important matches.

And the runners up are difficult to predict between Newcastle, AC Milan and Dortmund. But my prediction is that in the third match, PSG will win against AC Milan and Dortmund will win against Newcastle.

Interested with current standings of UEFA Champion League group F are predictable as difficult group stage, Newcastle United managed top position awhile after defeating PSG and collected 4 points. Second placed fill by PSG with three points achievement and have surprise performance with AC Milan after playing two matches not winning yet. Despite PSG have loss from Newcastle United but not really bad result because they have one point remaining from Milan and upcoming match both team face each other and become crucial the winner will have bigger chance qualify to next round with Newcastle United.

Upcoming match, PSG will against Milan in their home and seems advantage for PSG to get three points and make their position keep close with Newcastle United are favorite team for winning against Dortmund.

Here current standings awhile of Group F

[rendravolt]

The following are the results of matchday 2 on Wednesday and as we can see there are many surprising results, especially the Newcastle vs PSG match which ended with a landslide score of 4-1 for the Magpies to win at home. Then there is Manchester City, which has managed to beat Leipzig again and again after the two met in the round of 16 last season. However, there was one very boring match, namely Dortmund vs Milan which ended with no goals for 90 minutes. I feel that as one of the big matches in Group F they should be able to play more openly and compete to get 3 points, but it seems like these two teams have no desire to win. The results of this match were inversely proportional to the excitement of the Newcastle vs PSG results, where so many goals were scored.

Among last night's matches, do you have a favorite? Which do you think is the most exciting?

[lizarder]

I think we can all agree that Ten Hag is ruining United for 2 years already , right ? This guy simply won't give up on his believes of how to play offensive football and it's clearly that with United his strategy won't work no matter how hard he tries so I hope he will be out until winter break.

Also , how the hell did Arsenal lose ? I've made a post regarding Arsenal and how bad they are playing when they face "weaker" teams in UCL and I was correct ...they played awful and deserved to lost.

Facing Galatasaray at home and losing is not a good condition for Erik Ten Hak because he will be under a lot of pressure going forward. I think he trusts players too much who always make repeated mistakes, even though there are other players he can use during the match. For example, Andre Onana made several mistakes in the opening match in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but the coach still trusted him enough and in the Premier League Andre Onana also did not perform well.

These two English representatives did not have any impact in the Champions League, Man United did not appear promising and I think it was very difficult for them to face this competition, but strangely Arsenal, who was so impressive in the League, had to lose to a club that was weaker than them. Experience and mentality are perhaps two things that the representatives of the two English clubs do not have even though Man United has had a good history in the Champions League in the past.

Comparing Arsenal to Manchester United is totally out of the picture, because there's alot of things to comprehend when focusing on similarity. Manchester United have zero points in UEFA Champions League this season, two games and two defeats for the Red Devils, absolutely poor results from them. Erik Ten Hag would pushed better for more positive results in the coming UCL games if he wants to qualify for the next round of the competition. Though UCL football is really challenging for Manchester United, perhaps they can bounce back if they wake up from their slumber.

Their defenders and defensive midfielders are always their problems but they did not fix anything through the summer transfer market and again we are witnessing their defensive weakness again. Even not a too strong and experienced club in Champions League like Newcastle United can beat them with this result, how will they compete with giant clubs in Champions League?

PSG has certainly tried to solve the problem by bringing in a defender, defensive midfielder, winger and center forward. But it still doesn't seem like enough because this team needs players who really have good quality, not just high market value. Milan Skriniar, who was partnered with Marquinhos as a center back, couldn't do much, but Enrique had no other choice but to defend them until the match ended.

I don't know why PSG didn't bring in some defenders during the transfer window, but there seems to be a factor of importance at play in their transfer policy so far. They also failed to improve their strength in the midfield position, I mean PSG also doesn't have better quality midfielders. So PSG will not be able to compete with other strong teams if their squad depth is only good in the attack line, while they fail to find quality midfielders and defenders.

[reagansimms]

Mbappé played very poorly in the match against Newcastle. Mbappé is completely lackluster. According to my calculations, in this match, Mbappé had 49 touches of the ball, with 36 passes. He also only had one shot in the 85th minute, but it missed the target. Along with Mbappé, striker Muani for 100 million almost left no mark, played chaotically, and rarely finished. That left PSG completely deadlocked in attack, while their defense made too many errors leading to goals. Newcastle gave Mbappé and PSG a nightmare.

Mbappe did not appear as expected in this match, he was made helpless by Newcastle's defense which appeared solid throughout the match. It was recorded that he only fired one shot throughout the match, that one shot was obtained by Mbappe from outside the penalty box which did not aim at the goal. However Mbappe was not the only player who performed poorly when PSG was beaten by Newcastle, Randal Kolo Muani also did not have any impact on the team's game.

Another player who did not make any contribution was Marquinhos, apart from playing badly in PSG defensive area, he was also the main cause of Almiron opening goal for Newcastle. Luis Enrique must be responsible for this defeat, he failed to develop a good strategy which made the PSG players lose direction in their play.

[temple]

The next game for Newcastle will be key. If they win their home game against Dortmund, I would say that they have amost made it through the group stage unless they lose all of their last 3 games. I know there is still some speculation involved because the group is so close, but the team that has a head start in this close group is probably one of the teams that comes out successful. They have the goal advantage against PSG or they would have to get slaughtered. They have a home game against AC Milan and did not concede a goal there. They are in a great position to master the hardest group of this Champions League season.

However, because this victory makes Newcastle's chances of qualifying from the group much greater and also if we look at Newcastle's recent performance which is getting better, it makes many people believe that the Newcastle team will qualify from the group.
This big win over PSG is quite important for Newcastle players to be more confident in facing the next match because basically Newcastle is a team that is not the favorite, but they are able to prove themselves.

And PSG is really really down right now, even in the Legue 1 match the PSG team didn't play well, this team seems to have lost its identity this season.

I think a win adds to the confidence of a team all the time, but when a team realizes that it can beat PSG with a groundbreaking 4-1 that gives an extra portion of confidence not only for the Champions League, but also for the Premier League. I am still missing some new big names on the team of Newcastle United as I thought they would use the transfer window and buy some stars. Maybe not superstars, but players that have proven themselves in a strong league over some period of time. These players are doing well, but it couldn't hurt them to have one or two players that also bring a different aura to the team. But maybe that is what they exactly not want and they think it could hurt the cohesion.

[RockBell]

Yesterday's matches made me a good profit... By the way, it was PSG who caused the most nerves but managed to take the last corner in the last minutes of the match... Probably Newcastle vs PSG was the most difficult game for many, especially upset those who thought that PSG will win... I hope that Newcastle will continue to play as well...

It's been a while I placed a bet. that is good considering that you made a win yesterday gambling is favorable sometimes. Nobody would have expected Newcastle to win PSG. They were wild towards PSG, at first I wanted to be sure if Mbappe was present and he was fully available, his impact was not well felt in yesterday game, because first half two goals was already recorded. If I was to predict this game I would have been going for a draw and I would have lost the bet. And one thing I noticed with Newcastle is that they can be dangerous and if played with you can be surprised to what they will do, and they always get good motivation from there owners so they have to try all possible best to do the needful.

[imamusma]

I will never match Newcastle United and PSG, especially if everyone thinks the match is full of competition. Because PSG's defense is so weak that they perform poorly against other teams. Newcastle United had 10 shots on goal, while PSG only had 7 shots on goal. And Newcastle United managed to score 4 goals and PSG only managed to score 1 goal, proving that Newcastle United is definitely a strong team.

Even though PSG lost to Newcastle, my prediction remains that in the end PSG will win Group F. In the PSG match against Newcastle, I was also confused by Enrique's decision to use this strategy and what was meant by the rolling formation, Mbappe was used as a playmaker. But in my opinion, it is also good that PSG lost and were humiliated by Newcastle so that Enrique will use this as a lesson and will learn not to experiment again in important matches.

And the runners up are difficult to predict between Newcastle, AC Milan and Dortmund. But my prediction is that in the third match, PSG will win against AC Milan and Dortmund will win against Newcastle.

Luis Enrique has not been able to get out completely from the pressure, luck has not been on PSG side. If you look at PSG current performance, finishing as runners up is enough, because winning the group and qualifying for the top 16 is certainly difficult if performance tends to be unstable. It is true that many have commented on the experiment carried out by Enrique, placing four players with attacking characteristics at once in the XI is not the right option. It was proven that PSG still lost statistically in shots and attack creativity, even though they controlled the game with dominant possession of the ball.

It is possible that PSG can secure full points at home when they meet Milan, so far Milan has not been defeated and has not won. Regarding Dortmund versus Newcastle, I think both will play a draw. But apart from all that, surprises can happen like what Newcastle did.

[junder]

Manchester United actually didn't have a bad performance. They were very effective offensively throughout the match, but if there is a problem with something, it could be Casemiro's penalty and the red card he received. Everything in Galatasaray's favor became more evident after that red card. Before that, Galatasaray, which scored 2 goals with 2 counter attacks, found strong positions against ManU, which was missing. As a result, they scored the third goal and won the match. ETH may now need to be questioned in Manchester United.

In terms of play, Manchester United were indeed able to perform well and create dangerous attacks, but the carelessness of their own players made everything fall apart. Casemiro's red card gave Galatasaray more freedom, but Onana's poor performance was also the main cause of the defeat. Erik Ten Hag is really quite confused about the problems plaguing his team. I think Ten Hag must have the courage to make decisions for players who cannot make a big contribution to the team. Now Erik Ten Hag's fate is truly on the brink.

yes that's right, and this is a losing streak for the red devils, and Manchester United have lost 3 matches at home even though last season they were good at home, thus, they are currently also slumped in the middle of the table. the blunder made by Onana which forced Casemiro to violate the opposing player which eventually led to a penalty and Casemiro got a red card, fortunately the penalty execution from the Galatasaray team was off target but that still did not make it a victory for Manchester United.

In my opinion this is a big mistake to let David De Gea leave Manchester United. to catch points and add points Manchester United must win in the upcoming match unfortunately now this club is ranked 10th in the primary league of course this is not a good ranking, and Erik ten Hag's future is a question mark. However, what is there to say that Erik Ten Hag is on the edge he feels quite confident his position remains safe.

Manchester United is in big trouble, it seems difficult for them to get out of their downturn. Not only is the crisis of players experiencing injuries but the crisis of self-confidence is also another problem that must be considered.

Yes, Erik Ten Hag's mistake was when he threw De Gea out of the squad and replaced him with Onana. Onana was brave enough to be brought to Old Trafford because of his impressive performance with Inter, but unfortunately for United he always made mistakes that were detrimental to his team. Not only Onana, several other players must also be evaluated for the good of the team. I don't know how long Erik Ten Hag will stay at Old Trafford, if he doesn't get better maybe he will soon be asked to leave because the club has spent a lot of money to build the squad.

Yes, but the current Manchester United manager still has confidence, but in my opinion, Manchester United's poor performance this season is not entirely the coach's fault, but the injuries to the players make them unable to perform optimally. The Manchester manager must be optimistic that by solving these problems, he will be able to bring the Red Devils back to a better condition and win every match. With the current ranking of the Red Devils, of course this is not a good ranking. They must be able to play even more fiercely, despite not having the best players.

In the next match they have to give their best game to get three extra points and rise a little from their current rankings. Although there are some people who think they should fire Erik ten Hag in the near future, Erik ten Hag believes that he has everything needed to make MU triumph again.

[topbitcoin]

I think a win adds to the confidence of a team all the time, but when a team realizes that it can beat PSG with a groundbreaking 4-1 that gives an extra portion of confidence not only for the Champions League, but also for the Premier League. I am still missing some new big names on the team of Newcastle United as I thought they would use the transfer window and buy some stars. Maybe not superstars, but players that have proven themselves in a strong league over some period of time. These players are doing well, but it couldn't hurt them to have one or two players that also bring a different aura to the team. But maybe that is what they exactly not want and they think it could hurt the cohesion.

It is a sure thing that Newcastle is still in doubt because it can be said that they are currently a debutant club again after 2 decades of not being in the Champions League and the group is also unfavorable but with this big victory clearly makes Newcastle gain confidence very well.
I honestly don't know what Enrique is trying to do with the 4-2-3-1 formation by keeping Mbappe behind Ramos as a striker because if you look at this condition it is not the ideal position for Mbappe because he is always on the wing.
As usual they were dominant but Newcastle tamed them very easily in this second Champions League game.

[wmaurik]

I will never match Newcastle United and PSG, especially if everyone thinks the match is full of competition. Because PSG's defense is so weak that they perform poorly against other teams. Newcastle United had 10 shots on goal, while PSG only had 7 shots on goal. And Newcastle United managed to score 4 goals and PSG only managed to score 1 goal, proving that Newcastle United is definitely a strong team.

After two matches in the group phase, all the strengths of the teams are starting to become clear now because previously there were also those who doubted Newcastle United to be the leaders in group F before the match started. Now Newcastle United could even be the one to win Group F if in the next match Newcastle United can win at home when they host Dortmund. Meanwhile, PSG must be able to beat Milan in the next match in order to secure its position in second place.
