UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Just as I expected, we saw goals against each other in the Braga Real Madrid match. It would be a surprise if two in-form teams couldn't score against each other. Real Madrid have a bit of a defensive problem and they couldn't solve it. Braga, on the other hand, have been playing really well in their last games and although it was difficult to get a win against Real Madrid, they might have wanted to draw but they couldn't do it. Bellingham are making it easier for Real Madrid to win games by making the difference every game.

As a supporter of the Gunners, I am happy with the victory they achieved and at the same time making them back to the leaders in Group B. In the first half the game was tough, and I was not happy with what Mikel Artera's squad did. even though Martinelli scored the opening goal for Arsenal at the end of the first half, to be honest, several Arsenal players didn't play optimally. Fortunately, entering the second half Gabriel Jesus increased the goal difference to a 0-2 lead for the Gunners.
After the second goal was scored, I was quite calm because I was sure Arsenal would not lose this match. After winning 0-2, the worst case scenario is that Sevilla will only score 1 goal in return. and yup, it's proven. once again, according to my previous post, the Gunners will win this match. although in truth, I am not satisfied with what they show. but at least the odds @1.73 for Arsenal are quite decent.

As for the other matches in group B. I previously predicted that Lens would lose this match. but because Lens' performance is difficult to predict, the Under 3 goals option is the ideal choice with odds @1.73, not much different from Arsenal's odds. In terms of the results as I predicted, this match did not produce many goals from either team. PSV should have been able to maintain their victory after winning first.  Unfortunately, Lens was able to equalize in the 65th minute.
As a result, Lens was in 2nd place below Arsenal. Sevilla and PSV did not even get positive results. as a result they are in 3rd and 4th position.

Manchester United beat Copenhagen 1-0 with a goal scored by Harry Maguire. And Manchester United got their first win of this season in the UEFA Champions League. Andre Onana saved a penalty to rescue Manchester United’s slim Champions League hopes against FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford. The result revives United’s hopes of progressing to the last-16 after starting their campaign with back-to-back defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in Group A.

Harry Maguire and Andre Onana were two men who reclaimed Manchester United's glory in this season's Champions League campaign. They secured their first three points after two straight defeats. This shows that Manchester United still has hope if they can successfully defeat Copenhagen again away from home, so they will have the six points that will give them more hope of qualifying if Galatasaray lose against Munich again. Right now, Manchester United are in the third position with three points, and Galatasaray is in the second with four points. The main battle for qualifying for the round of 16 is between Manchester United and Galatasaray since Bayern have almost secure their knockout stage slot with their first three match wins.

With this victory today for Manchester United it is possible for them to qualify to round of 16. It was a big match and a big win for the red devil's tonight, as they were able to secure a three points after three matches.

Manchester took over the second half and used that as an advantage to net the post. Maguire did great today and I think that he has started performing well and bringing victories to Manchester United unlike last season that he was causing defeat for United. I am happy that Maguire can put a smile on his face and be proud of himself again. For he scored at the right time that the goal was needed.

I was expecting both teams to score. It was obvious that the match would be over 2.5 goals. Real Madrid could have scored more goals. The goal scored by Bellingham is very valuable. He has never failed to score a goal in 2 consecutive matches. He couldn't score a goal in the Sevilla match, but he scored again today. They signaled that if Real Madrid conceded 2 goals, they would somehow score a third. Braga fought well but it wasn't enough to get a point. Real Madrid showed that they will be the leader in this group by making it 3 out of 3. Napoli continues to follow.

In the last few games players who are often used as an outlet and mockery such as MacTominay, Onana and Maguire have performed very well for Manchester United because in the matches they do they can always perform optimally and play very well which makes my assessment of them different.
It seems that the criticism that is always given to these players is a good pioneer for them to prove themselves.
With 1 goal from Maguire in this match Manchester United can finally get points and compete again for the race for second place in group A at this time because indeed the race for second place is now still very open.
Put aside for the position of group winners because it has become a sure thing that Bayern will have with full points in the 3 matches they played but for position 2 this is still quite risky and anyone can still get that position.

After the final whistle of the Manchester United Vs Copenhagen game, I was just smiling all through, the most criticized Manchester United players of recent times are the ones that saved the day for united.
Maguire and onana, in recent times have been  at the bad books of fans and analyst for recent times for one inconsistency or the other, but they are the hero's of today's game, the human life is full of irony.

I could swear I didn't see Harry Maguire coming with his goal in todays match against Copahengen to secure their 1-0 win.
Am not also surprised about Bellingham and Vini Jr. Combo. They seem to have a kind of understanding that is healthy and helps them shine for their team, Real Madrid.

For Arsenal, am impressed with their performance and am confident even if they face a team like Real Madrid, that they would do the best to secure a win, no draws. It's good to have goals coming from several players in a team, than it be left alone for the strikers or midfielders to produce the needed goals.

I dare not forget to comment H. Kane for a beautiful display and delivery of goals. He is simply classic and is doing so much to earn his place in the Bayern team.

Onana and Maguire became big heroes for Manchester United in today's match where these two players made a big contribution to Manchester United's victory in the Champions League. This was Manchester United's first win in the Champions League and Maguire was a figure who played a big role in Manchester United's victory in today's match. I think he has shown quite a big change in the last two matches with Manchester United. In fact, today's victory felt special because Manchester United played in front of their supporters and Maguire was the goal scorer, of course this was a valuable moment for him to silence his critics.

Apart from that, Onana did not perform well in the previous match, but in this match he managed to ward off a penalty kick which was a significant save for Manchester United in the Champions League. Apart from that, statistically, Manchester United's performance in today's match was also quite good and this is a special match for Maguire and Onana.

Manchester United struggled to win the game, which is why they worked so hard to do so. Thanks to Harry Maguire and Onana, United were able to defeated Copenhagen team and earn three points in the process. I can tell that the abuse that supporters have been giving Harry Maguire for his performances has helped him perform better in recent games. If Manchester United had lost today's game, I had doubts that they would not be successful for the entire of this season. However, given how well he played today, which included helping them win by scoring one goal that gave them three points. Fans of Maguire and Onana won't be upset about their efforts tonight, so I guess I can say that Onana is back.

If not for luck, Manchester United would not have won the game. I believe the team needs more attackers because Rashford has been a complete waste of space, having so many chances and failing to have any target, he also refuses to pass the ball, knowing only that he must score. Rashford is a major issue for the team, and I'm not sure if Ten Hag's was too afraid to replace him with Martial rather than Hojlund. He need to be punish like the way he did with Maguire. Garnacho is even contributing better than him but i see that the coach also want to leave the club sooner, they need to set more standards.

[Jossque]

Two in-form teams failed to meet. Lens drew 1-1 with PSV at home. Of course this result is a success for PSV. If I remember correctly, Lens finished 2nd in the league last season with 1 point difference behind PSG. A 1-1 draw away to a team that dominated the French league last season must be promising. Both teams had plenty of chances but didn't make the most of them. We could have seen more goals in the match. I don't know if PSV can get out of the group but I think this group will be more competitive than the other groups.

Yes, after match calm interviews of these two players where you can still see they peace. United still counts for 2nd place, although it will be difficult to play like this in two weeks, not to mention Turkey. We will also see what will happen in the derby.

[KTChampions]

Unfortunately (for me since I bet on Bayern), the truth is that Bayern can easily afford to lose a game or two (even though they are used to getting a 100% result in the group stage) since they still will qualify in first place. We can only hope that Tuchel does not want Bayern to perform worse/at the level of last season (according to average indicators) and will try to achieve a convincing victory today.

I see Galatasaray dominating this match even though previously Munich was predicted to win easily and I don't understand whether Munich is aiming for the safe side by playing a draw and taking advantage of the second leg moment, because we know that Munich is in a safe position in the group regardless of whether it finishes in first place or runners-up, while Galatasaray is not in a safe position because Manchester United could catch up moreover they only have a difference of 5 points. Anyway, it will be very interesting to wait for the final results in this group because 3 great teams compete with each other there and the struggle only occurred between Galatasaray and Manchester United.

As you can see, Bayern still won and this game seems to correspond to the pattern when the underdog plays very well and even better than the more eminent opponent, but in the end “for some reason” the better team wins. This is a common pattern when the stronger team strains exactly as much as it needs to strain to win. However, I’m not yet sure that this is exactly what is happening with Bayern, they don’t look convincing in the Bundesliga either. So maybe today luck was just on their side, who knows.

I don't know if PSV can get out of the group but I think this group will be more competitive than the other groups.

Since the day Lens beat Arsenal 2-1 at home, I knew they would be the other team to make an effort to scale through the round of 16 because I never expected Arsenal to lose against them, and they defeated Arsenal, and today they have yet another outstanding performance as they were able to get a point in their match against PSV.

Before now, many people were not counting on Lens; they were only focused on PSV and Arsenal. But as it stands now, Lens and Arsenal might be the two teams that can qualify for the knockout stage of the 2023–2024 season.

It was one of those days where you may look like you played better but the result may not come. There are a lot of similar games in football, and even games have this type of thing as well, you can have %70+ possession and 20+ more shots and still lose to a team that had just a few shots. We were unlucky, we had some great chances and amazing shots but it was either saved or missed by an inch, we could have scored 3 goals easily during the first half but we just missed. I congratulate Bayern, to be fair I always thought that the bigger chance would be losing to Bayern but we had a small chance, and that's exactly what happened, if those shots went in, we would have won. Unlucky, time to look for the next game.

[Jossque]

The most surprising result of the day was Benfica losing at home to Real Sociedad. After finishing last season as champions in the league, Benfica couldn't get the results they wanted in the Champions League. There was a time when some teams were afraid of Benfica. Now those times seem to be behind them. Having been defeated in all 3 matches in the group, it will be very difficult for Benfica to get out of the group. Sociedad and Inter will most probably exit the group. Benfica, on the other hand, will have to push for the Europa League.

[JoyMarsha]

Am not also surprised about Bellingham and Vini Jr. Combo. They seem to have a kind of understanding that is healthy and helps them shine for their team, Real Madrid.

The main factor in Real Madrid's victory over Braga is Vinicius Junior. He was responsible for both of the assists Real Madrid used to win in their Champions League match tonight. Real Madrid would not have been victorious if he hadn't pushed for those attacks.
The performance of Real Madrid is starting to decline. They aren't playing the outstanding football they used to. They should take note that they won't be at the top of the Laliga table by the weekend if they perform like this against Barcelona in their Laliga match.

[EL MOHA]

Manchester took over the second half and used that as an advantage to net the post. Maguire did great today and I think that he has started performing well and bringing victories to Manchester United unlike last season that he was causing defeat for United. I am happy that Maguire can put a smile on his face and be proud of himself again. For he scored at the right time that the goal was needed.

Manchester United had a better second half than the shambolic first half they played. The main player that changed the game was Christian Erickson. When Erickson came into  the game his composure and ability was the reason United dominated the midfield and one of his long balls was the what brought about the goal. Garnacho was missing one on one chances with the goalkeeper but also had a better game than Rashford that played complete nonsense. Garnacho should be given more playing time.

The two players that weren’t in the game was Scott MacTominay and Bruno. Aside the goals MacTominay doesn’t provide nothing more, he is part of central midfielders and could not dash back to recieve the ball more often when the defense has it. This was the space the opponent exploited and use to cause united problems in the first half. A better team would have done damage to united

What an unbelievable ending in the Manchester United v Copenhagen match!  

First of all Manchester United were really inadequate in performance in the first half. They weren't even close to being likely to score a goal. The second half was much more hopeful for them. Maguire scored the winning goal while there were 20 minutes left finally. I wouldn't have thought that he would be the hero.    The match got even more interesting when McTominay caused a penalty literally in the last moments. But Onana made a wonderful save. Onana and Maguire carried their team to victory tonight!

Much appreciation to Andre Onana and Harry Maguire. I wasn't sure that today's match versus Copenhagen would result in a 1-0 tie, but these two guys rescued a lot of people's tickets. The biggest chance for Copenhagen was lost when they failed to score their penalty. Manchester United has win the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

However, since they made an effort to earn their three points, let us see whether they can perform well and defeat comprehend again, this time away from home, so that they can have six points and a strong chance to meet Bayern Munich if Galatasaray fails to win against them. Onana saved the penalty, and Maguire scored. That's good encouraging Man united are now in third position.

I think this is quite natural because Bayern munich visited Galatasaray's headquarters where they had to play carefully and not care whether their game was bad or not. Their target was to win and they succeeded in doing that. Indeed, if you look at it, of course galatasaray was able to play better and was far superior in possession of the ball and they also recorded a lot of shots in this match, but bayern munich is a strong team and full of experience, they can survive pressure situations to steal the win.

Even so, fans are quite satisfied with their performance because in the 3 matches in the Champions League where bayern munich were able to record wins in those 3 matches. And they are at the top of the standings as well as have a big chance of becoming group winners. I think Tuchel really needs to change the style of play for bayern munich in the next match.

Since the day Lens beat Arsenal 2-1 at home, I knew they would be the other team to make an effort to scale through the round of 16 because I never expected Arsenal to lose against them, and they defeated Arsenal, and today they have yet another outstanding performance as they were able to get a point in their match against PSV.

You know one thing that gives a club confidence is winning against a stronger team as Lens winning Arsenal which is a competitive club boast their morales in their match against PSV, I see france Ligue 1 division producing a competitive team in Lens because they have shown consistency in their champions league campaign this season

Bayern Munich is more appreciated than Galatasaray, but their away trip promises to be challenging. Wilfried Zaha and his teammates vowed to try to win points. However, the big man's bravery will still help coach Thomas Tuchel's team get an important victory. Bayern Munich is playing sublimely with the outstanding scoring form of English striker Harry Kane. They are also waiting to win all 3 points in this match to get closer to a ticket to the knockout round. It is likely that this match will have more than 3 goals scored. Bayern Munich is full of confidence to win right on Galatasaray's field. I want to emphasize that Bayern Munich's form is perfect.

The spirit released by Galatasaray at this time is indeed quite good, especially with their stability in the Super Lig until now they deserve appreciation, it's just that for the Champions League, especially the opponent is Bayern, I don't think this will be too influential.
Bayern have experience, quality players and of course greater dominance and in terms of performance they are also still very good until now.
Galatasaray the previous week against Manchester United actually still benefited from some internal mistakes from Manchester United players that made them superior but their defense was still a little weak and this needs to be anticipated by Bad.
In addition, Icardi will definitely be back on the pedestal but I don't expect much with Icardi's movement in this match because Bayern's midfield now I think so far they are one of the most solid midfields because they have good performance and their chemistry is really good.

Bayern Munich won 3 points in this match.
Bayern Munich consolidated their position at the top of Group A of the Champions League after defeating Galatasaray. The match ended with a score of 3-1 in favor of the away team. With a squad of outstanding quality, Bayern proactively played offensively from the beginning and soon opened the scoring thanks to Kingsley Coman. Faced with strong attacking power, Garatasaray could not stand and had to concede 2 consecutive goals after that. Galatasaray only got 1 consolation goal, scored by Mauro Icardi on the penalty spot.
After this victory, Bayern Munich became the first team in Champions League history to win 8 consecutive away matches in the group stage. Bayern Munich extended their unbeaten streak in the Champions League group stage to 37, the longest unbeaten streak in the tournament's history. What an outstanding achievement for the team representing Germany.
