UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[slapper]

~snip~

The reason for PSG they spend lots of money but they can't get anything in the champions league is mostly because they didn't have a good manager and they just bought superstar players while PSG didn't have a balanced team, this situation made chaos in PSG that's why they players couldn't have a good atmosphere in the team to have good performance.  

In your opinion, PSG is shooting itself in the foot with their unbalanced team and rumored internal dysfunction despite having a star-studded lineup. A similar analysis that claimed PSG's tactical deficiencies rather than its talent deficiencies has come to mind. A strong team should excel throughout, not simply on the front lines. Isn't this a necessary condition for having a strong presence in the Champions League?

However, it does appear from the sidelines that PSG's game has descended into a tactical wasteland. It's similar to watching a boat in a storm without a rudder. Does management not understand this? Or do they decide to remain silent? This criticism is aimed at the puppet masters rather than the actual actors. It seems to be a criticism of their strategy, doesn't it?

To be precise PSG is one of the best clubs in Ligue 1, I don't want to judge PSG as one of the best clubs in the world because they have never even won the Champions League trophy. PSG's shortcomings so far have been because they are not held by a great coach who is experienced in the Champions League, the attitude of PSG management which seems difficult to bring in a great coach makes it difficult for them to compete with other clubs.

The arrival of a great coach does not guarantee that PSG will immediately win the Champions League trophy, they must wait at least two years for PSG players to blend in with the style used by the coach. Zidane can be used as a solution to overcome problems that have not been solved so far, PSG management must act immediately, they also need to be jealous of Manchester City who have just won their first UCL trophy.

PSG's main problem is not only about not being coached by a great and experienced coach, but they have not built up their squad depth perfectly so far. You can compare PSG's squad from season to season, they are always constrained because not many experienced players in the Champions League have played with them. Last season Messi, Neymar, Mbappe helped, but their midfield was so bad that even Marco Verratti couldn't do much.

I agree the coach is one of the important parts, but another important thing is good squad depth. If PSG have these two conditions, then I think they have a chance to win their first Champions League in the next few seasons. Manchester City have proven that with Guardiola and lots of quality players, so they should be too.

Zidane spoke separately about winning the Champions League three times in a row and he claimed that it was the result of his hard work (which exhausted him and deprived him of sleep), and no luck. I agree that there is a share of luck everywhere (in fact, this is just a variance of a random variable, speaking in the language of mathematics), but the strongest are lucky and you should not underestimate other people's merits 

I am not underestimating other peoples' merits in the slightest, but don't we agree that goals like these won Zidane the Champions League? Also watch this one at the 2:00 minute mark. I am ready to receive and have a look at counter examples where the referee decision was clearly made against Real Madrid and cost them the game. But I tried to find a summary of decisions that were against Real Madrid and I couldn't really find something that was blatantly obvious against Real Madrid and decisive for the game end result. Almost all of those decisions that led to Real Madrid advancing through goals and red cards would not happen these days with the VAR. Almost none of them.

Maybe there were no "decisive" mistakes against Real, since Real turned all the mistakes against themselves into insignificant by winning with a convincing score? 
Believe me, I am very familiar with the topic of refereeing mistakes (opinions of various fan bases), I know such terms as Evrebelona  and others, but I see no reason to discuss all this - mistakes and even conspiracies are part of football.
And in this imperfect football, Zidane won the Champions League three times in a row. When someone appears who can repeat this, it will be possible to compare their “purity” or some other secondary indicators, but now Zidane is one and this is a great achievement that cannot be underestimated.

I think that when it comes to football,Zidame has the luck and quality of a good footballer and a good coach,all these put together made him able to win UCL three times. If you look at him he has that spirit of self determination and to stay focus on his goal.

Mistakes are bound to happen and this is why we are human because we are imperfect being. So I don't see any reason why we should use our mistakes to judge our achievement. FIFA has seen these mistakes several times and that was why VAR was implored to football to correct most of this mistakes done by human.

[Docnaster]

we can start the speculations and what will be our favorite teams for next season
obviously Guardiola's team played impressively, barring twists and turns, they remain one of the favorites alongside Real Madrid of course

What do you think about it?

Guardiola's side remain the favourites to win it again. Real Madrid is still very consistent, but I do not think we should underate Manchester United too. In just this their first season with a new coach, they were able to win one competition and came second in another. Manchester United will get players were they need to and next season with this their present coach, they can win the champions league and even the premier league. They are not new to winning the competition as a club, so they are also one of the competitions title contenders next season.

Manchester City for a fact is the best team not just in Europe but also in the world at the moment. Their possessive style of football which has been very difficult to stop is the main reason why they are currently the best.

However I don't think it'll be possible for Manchester City to replicate the same feat the did last season and conquer Europe again. City without doubt will be the favorites to retain the UEFA Champions League title but they surely wouldn't win it again

Without a doubt, PSG will not be the same, because they no longer have Messi and no team can be the same without Messi, because he is the only player that I consider to be irreplaceable, but since PSG has a lot of money, I don't know what movements he can make, I am sure they were after Kane, but Kane said he wants to go to Bayern, but really here the race is being won by one of the strongest in Germany, so how can they do it? I don't know, maybe they have to look for players who can complement Mbappé, I wouldn't hesitate to give Neymar a lot of permission so that he doesn't leave, but it's difficult, apart from the fact that Mbappé doesn't continue to work with him.

Mbappé now does have the team he wanted, well now things are the way he wanted them at one point, without Messi, without Ney, just him and the team he wants, let's see how he can do this season with a PSG that needs Quick to go well, because I think that even in the same league it can have problems.

Of course yes, a technical director is very essential in a team, for me he is the fundamental piece, you can have a team of stars, something like Real Madrid was in the era of Zidan. Beckham, Ronaldo, Figo, they were pure stars, they had a great coach, and yet sometimes there were many failures but they managed to get ahead, it's something like what happens at Chelsea, they have great players of a great stature, but no director The technician has been able to decipher them and last season was a total disaster, I don't know but sometimes there are technicians who have to be very special for this type of player, not everyone can direct them, now PSG seems ideal to me that the one who would manage it was Zidane, but as I have said many times, the Sheikh is the one with the money and is the one who decides.

Now, I would like to see almost all the matches of Ligue 1, of the UCL and see the teams that are currently forming in a great way, because there are tremendous teams, especially PSG I want to see how they are going to settle, since Messi's giant hole is not just anything.

Zidane spoke separately about winning the Champions League three times in a row and he claimed that it was the result of his hard work (which exhausted him and deprived him of sleep), and no luck.

When it comes to the best players in the world, the best coaches in the world, I think that here we have to make a parenthesis and salute one of the most outstanding, and if it's Zidane, I remember that he was one of the players who played the most I liked his style, because his movements are different from those of any player, it is a style that shows elegance, it is as if he worked magic, for a reason they called him "Harry Potter" on ESPN, that he won the 3 Champions yes It is a fact, he is one of the few players in the world who have achieved that, in addition to being a player who at the time when it came to arbitration well adhered to the regulations.

I cannot speak ill of Zidane, not even when he hit the Italian in that controversial final, when the Italian messed with his sister, I think every man would have reacted like this or worse, it is of great respect, only the gesture was seen very badly.

Manchester City isn't suffering from a midfielder shortage. If anything will ever be missing in one of Pep Guardiola's squads, it will not be midfielders. I remember him saying how much he loves midfielders and that he can never have enough of them and would even like to play with 10 midfielders at the same time

Yes, this marena is also related to Pep's tactics and strategy so far, especially at Man City and it was finally successful, as evidenced by the treble winners in the previous season. Although everything will definitely take time to process. but really, his jokes about midfielders are quite entertaining. After all, apart from winning, Pep also loves the deadly beautiful game

This is right but in the Champions League it is not always the best team that wins the title. Guardiola couldn't was not able to win the Champions League not because he is a bad coach or had a bad team. But in the knockout stage of the Champions League many things can happen that influence the game and make the stronger team lose as a result. I felt that Guardiola had the best team often times in that tournament, but there were some minor issues here and there that got them eliminated. The luck that Real Madrid had three years in a row was missing for Manchester City. Now it could be Manchester City who defend the title as the second team in history.

There are many powerful clubs who have never won the Champions League trophy. It is not always the case that the strongest teams will win the Champions League trophy. Especially in the knock-out stages if a little goes wrong, many big teams and smaller teams lose. Because there is usually no chance in the knockout stages, a year's pursuit is over if you make a mistake.  
Manchester City is already a good team in terms of strength but they finally managed to win the Champions League trophy in the 2022-23 season after a long pursuit. But they were favorites in the previous season as well but they were dramatically defeated by Real Madrid in the previous match due to which they had to wait another year.

That's what I mean. I think most people would agree that objectively Manchester City is the best team, but that doesn't lead to a Champions League title right away. This is why these KO competitions are so much fun as weaker teams still have a chance to surprise the favorites and catch them off guard. Manchester City has suffered from those bad surprises quite often in the past few years, but this time it didn't feel like they could make a mistake, but during the game I thought that it is this expectation everyone has that Manchester City will not make any mistakes that in turn put so much pressure onto them. They didn't play as well in the final as they played most of the games before. But they deserved it and are once again the favorites for the upcoming Champions League season.

That's true, in the last season Manchester City performed very well and that's mostly because of their coach Guardiola but the fact about this team and other teams is they are changing over time and there is a possibility to say for the next season the champion league we are going to see another team winning the league and surprise us, however, the Manchester City we saw has even the potential to shine in the net season.

Manchester City are working on new big transfers to maintain their level in the Champions League from now on. Guardiola has finally reached his target with the team here and now the main target would be to maintain this level as much as possible. They already have a solid squad of course. But there are still some areas that can even be stronger.

Defense line is an example for that. Gvardiol deal is about to be completed. Other than that we have Kovacic transfer. In case of losing Bernardo Silva to PSG they need to find a good alternative to him as well.

There is always a time and season for everything and Manchester city are certainly in their prime time and I won't be surprise if they could go on secure the champion league once, although it will be difficult but I know its not an impossible task and I certainly believe pep guardiola to be a man to achieve this feat again. Currently Manchester city are the just on fire and guardiola will do everything in his powers to maintain this form if only injuries to vital players doesn't have a different opinion to their next season campaign.

This can be one of the reasons that makes sense actually because looking at the current condition of PSG they don't seem to have a condition that can be proud of in terms of their management which makes the money they spend seem to be useless.
Even though we know that the Champions League is not a place that anyone can enter but should be with PSG's finances they can talk more than now.
They always focus on ready-made players is also one of their tendencies to struggle a little because they always buy old machines like Ramos or Messi, which even though their names are unquestionable but their qualifications are clearly reduced due to age.
In addition, when the competition factor is also lacking in the domestic league, I think this makes their conditions more difficult when they are in tough competitions because if you look at other competitions such as La Liga or EPL it can be said that the competition in Ligue 1 is much easier which makes them accustomed to competitions that are not too difficult to make them fail to adapt to high competitions such as the Champions League.

PSG still didn't succeed in the champions league last season even though their squad last season was quite strong. But yes they failed to show their best power in last season. Even Neymar had to be absent and that was one of the deficiencies that might have greatly impacted their performance in the Champions League last season. For next season I think PSG is still very much counted as the strongest team in the Champions League. Mbappe has found a new front line duel for next season after Asensio joined in this season's transfer window. I think Neymar will also stay with PSG for next season so their front line is still very strong for next season. Even though Messi has left, PSG still has a pretty good sharpness on their front line. PSG only needs a coach who really understands to lead them to become the strongest team in the Champions League next season. After Galtier was fired it looks like Luis Enrique will become coach for PSG next season after Fabrizio Romano confirmed that PSG had reached an agreement with Luis Enrique.

The UEFA Champions League is one of the most competitive leagues, with clubs competing for high-level performances. Manchester City is the current champion after defeating Inter Milan in the finals. I believe it was not chance that carried the city residents this far, but rather consistency and hard work put in at all stages of games. Pep Guardiola cannot make the UCL his favorite league, where he will reach the finals every season, because there is more work to add for UCL to become his favorite place. Pep will work on his weak spots in his squad, the defendlines would be sorted out in the transfer window.

The reason for PSG they spend lots of money but they can't get anything in the champions league is mostly because they didn't have a good manager and they just bought superstar players while PSG didn't have a balanced team, this situation made chaos in PSG that's why they players couldn't have a good atmosphere in the team to have good performance.  

If that's true, it means that the main problem is with their own manager so that PSG can't do much in the Champions League, even though they already have more superstar players in their team. Because a strong team is not only good on the front lines, but almost on all fronts must be good in order to continue to compete in the Champions League. And from what I've seen so far at PSG, I think what you said is true because PSG played like they didn't have good tactics during the match.

Here we have too much talk about PSG and their tactics in Champions League which are not working, and they are facing problems which is surely needs to be fixed if they want to have better results they have too many stars with not good manager is also problem which create mess-up and players are not able to understand chemistry of the game too much interference from the management is also problem but now as they have very good and experienced manager and big stars are also left this club hopefully now its good time for them to have understood all things and allow new coach to work with his strategy which bring good results and improved performance.

PSG weak point so far in the Champions League is because the chemistry between the players and the tactics used by the coach is not well connected. The quality of the players that PSG has should be that they can survive to the final or win the UCL title for the first time. But because the tactics used by the coach cannot be understood properly by the players, it makes it difficult for them to compete with other elite clubs.
An accomplished new coach needs to fill the PSG coach's chair to lead players who have so far failed to bring home the UCL trophy to France. The club must act immediately and give freedom to the coach in order to maintain the chance of winning the Champions League.

Manchester city coach has done a great job in this season, and I believe he still have more to do that will make the whole world to celebrate him by winning champions league title next season and other titles which is the major target of the coach. I don't think Manchester city will fail next season because there are potential players in the team, and they are very ready to showcase more skills that will make many people to believe that they are the best team in the champion league competition and premier league competition. Since Manchester city coach is still worry about their defensive, I think he will use this summer to bring in a potential defender that will join the team next season.

Who will most likely win the UEFA Champions League in 2023/2024? My support is with Barcelona. Who are you with?

In this transfer season, almost all clubs that qualify for the Champions League move significantly in releasing or taking football players for their clubs with the aim of preparing for the upcoming Champions League.
I don't think Barcelona will have the chance to get the chance to reach the next Champions League final because they are not strong enough to get rid of another strong enough team like Arsenal or Manchester City.
From some of the research I've done, Manchester City is still the only club that still has a big chance of winning the 2023/2024 Champions League again.

[makishart]

I can't even describe my feeling. Sevilla has been winning europa league. The club will be playing in UCL next season without all of its main squads. Sevilla gonna be using secondary squads to play in UCL.
In my opinion if i will bet for the opposite thing against sevilla. I meant any team that will be facing sevilla in UCL gonna be favorite to win.

It's caused by sevilla will not be playing with its main squads. Sevilla needs to sell so many players as soon as possible. Mendilibar and sevilla's president agreed to put all of players in the transfer market. Sevilla will not able pass group stage.
Im sure about this.
The chance for sevilla to pass group stage will be very small if sevilla won't able to play with its main squads. Sevilla was almost bankrupt.

the most important thing is experience and Guardiola has successfully achieved all of that so Guardiola knows what must be done to be able to get another title in the UCL later. and right now we know that Man City is in a very strong condition. On the other hand, Guardiola is looking for additional new players to strengthen the entire line so that he can implement the strategy that he will use again in the following season.
it is not surprising that Guardiola is currently too eager to continue educating his players and relies on several players to be able to achieve the success that must be achieved again in the next few seasons. as long as Guardiola can be consistent with what he achieved in the previous season and Man City players can be consistent with all strategies I think it will not be impossible to get a trophy in the champions league again.

If Madrid succeeds in bringing Mbappe from PSG, of course it will be a challenge for Manchester city if they meet again next season, even though I am a Manchester City supporter, of course Madrid will be the strongest club which might make it difficult for Manchester City to qualify to win the UCL next season. Mbappe's presence will make Madrid a dangerous club.

Manchester city has so far become the strongest club in Europe by getting the treble winner last season, that's why they have to be able to maintain their performance and consistency in playing in the UCL next season, even though there are several new players brought in to Manchester City who also need to adapt, at least quickly adapt to other players ,
