UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Silence Scream]

Manchester united group are not poor group, but base on the preparations that is going on in the camp of Manchester united now, it show that Manchester united will win their next games to maintain a good leading till they get to final to try their best to lift the trophy.

MU should have had a chance to qualify for the group phase. But it seems that with its current performance, MU is having quite a difficult time. Ten Hag's squad's performance had improved, but after several players were injured, Ten Hag lost its strength.
they struggled quite hard last season to get a UCL ticket. but it seems like they didn't show a good game to compete with the other competing teams.
The results of MU's matches with Man City and Newcastle made everyone assess how bad Ten Hag's squad is at the moment. it's hard to compete in the UCL.

I be expecting a massive development and steps forward to positivity prior to the game against Fulham tommorow. Fulham will host Manchester United at home and will hurt their defense with counter attacking football from Fulhams attackers.
With Casemiro, Aaron Wan Bisakka and Sergio Regulon all returned from the Injury, the defense and midfielder's should have balance. I've loved how Regulon adapted so fast, he has attacked and defended very well.

Manchester City I expected the loss, maybe a draw, but Newcastle, they should have defended the trophy they won last season. Props to Newcastle who have won both Manchester United and Manchester City in that tournament, I'm already tipping them to successfully win that trophy.

If Newcastle United wins this trophy,it will be a shame to Arsenal who played beautiful football last season without winning any trophy.Mikel Areta has this as a problem now,because he will neglect to win the little trophies that he would have won,and want to win the big one which he finds it very difficult to.He is now aiming for the premier league tittle this season,but he is still gambling with the games.He has decided to play Karl Harvetz who have flopped in almost all Arsenal matches that he has played this season, Despite having Trossard who can florish in that department very well,he has opted to play a player that cannot even boast of an assist since he came to Arsenal.Therefore,anytime Arsenal loses,it's always Arteta the Gambles with it.

It is clear that it will be a difficult away game. Newcastle United is a team that likes to make surprises with its quality squad. In Arsenal, the players have to play very well and today they have to play as close to zero mistakes as possible. Arsenal will gain a big advantage if they get 3 points in the match against Newcastle United.

The chances of them qualifying from the group stage are still open, the problem is that it is difficult because if they want to ensure that they will qualify one of them is by winning all the remaining matches. It's okay that they can win against Copenhagen, but against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich it's going to be a much tougher job. Galatasaray will also be playing their hearts out against Mancehster United. A draw in my opinion would be enough for them, although we also have to see the result of their match against Copenhagen.

I put Manchester United ahead against Galatasaray but the way they are performing it looks like they are going to drop points against Galatasaray as well. Manchester United is not able to play according to the right plan anywhere in the English Premier League or Champions League. If Manchester United could have played according to their proper plan, they would never have been beaten in one match after another like this. Manchester United have lost four of their last five matches in the Champions League and Premier League combined and have won just one match. What is the guarantee that they won't drop a point against Galatasaray where they have lost 80% of their last five matches? Such a result in the last five matches will undoubtedly leave them mentally behind.

[asriloni]

There are still three matches remaining in the group phase of the Champions League to see who will progress to the next round and Manchester United must really think about this seriously. Because they have to try to get through the group stage first so they can progress to the next round further, although I also don't think that Manchester United will go too far in the Champions League this season even though you yourself have said that the Manchester United coach has found a way to train the players to be better.

Manchester United certainly still has the possibility of qualifying for the last 16, but I'm not sure Ten Hag can take advantage of it even though I don't fully expect them to fail. If Manchester United can win 2 of the remaining 3 matches, then I believe they can qualify for the round of 16 compared to Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Anything is possible right now, but it all depends on how Ten Hag and his players set their goals.

I hope Ten Hag can beat Copenhagen and Galatasaray in the next 2 matches because I think these two matches will determine their chances of qualifying the most. Manchester United cannot beat Bayern Munich, although they can, the chances are no better than winning the matches against Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

Manchester United still has good chances to move to the next round, unfortunately for them both of those crucial games are away games and they will have to win on the road against those two teams, however if they are able to win both games against Copenhagen and Galatasaray then the only threat will be Galatasaray, however before both of those teams face each other Galatasaray will play against Bayern Munich, and in the case of an adverse result on that match and an adverse result against Manchester United then they will be out of contention to move forward on the UCL.

The outcome of the match against Copenhagen holds great significance for Manchester United, as a win would provide them with the much-needed confidence to confront Galatasaray in their upcoming game. That's why it's very important for united to win the upcoming game. This will be boosting the confidence of its players. How can MU win against galatasaray if the club has no confidence after the match against copenhagen? In order to improve, Manchester United must carefully analyze and identify the primary weakness of the club. MU was only winning with narrow score against copenhagen. The outcome of the match against Copenhagen will determine whether Manchester United's chances of advancing in the tournament come to an abrupt end or if there is still a glimmer of hope, provided Bayern also emerges victorious against Galatasaray. This will not be easy games for manchester united. Ten hag's squad is also in the crisis due to the injury.

[bitLeap]

Their failure to win in the 3 matches they have played is a sign that Benfica no longer has any hope of qualifying from the group phase and the team should be more realistic now that they cannot force and forget to focus on their domestic league just to catch up with the huge gap. not sure about this.
Maybe finishing in 3rd place and going to the Europa League is something they can achieve, otherwise I think there is no possibility for Benfica.

If the two teams that are now in first and second place in the standings (Inter Milan and Real Sociedad) collect 3 more points, then it will erase the hopes of Benfica. As for Salzburg, although they still have hope, but they still have to hope that one of Inter Milan or Real Sociedad loses in their last 3 matches and instead Salzburg must win all the remaining matches. With a scenario like that, it is something that is very difficult to realize, especially the two teams above will also always aim for good results in every match they do to ensure themselves that they will qualify from this group phase.

[khiholangkang]

It is quite difficult to determine who can accompany Bayern Munich who qualify from Group A, because Galatasaray and Manchester United also have the opportunity to get second place, 3 matches for each team are crucial matches to get tickets to the next round.

I honestly have the same thoughts as you, Manchester United even though they are experiencing setbacks, they have a greater chance of getting second place after Bayern Munich than Galatasaray if you look at the performance of the team we know as Manchester United, but on the other hand if galatasaray had the luck to win the match against bayern munchen i think it will be very difficult for manchester united to catch him.

If you look in more detail it's actually very difficult, Man United will first face Copenhagen and Galatasaray will face Bayern Munchen. This means that United must again be able to secure 3 points like in their first leg against Copenhagen, and we know that Munchen will be difficult for the Turkish representatives to beat. So the standings will automatically change after the fourth matchday, and United will occupy second place in the standings with 6 points.

The biggest challenge for the Ten Hag squad is actually when they visit Galatasaray headquarters, I think the meeting on the fifth matchday will determine who will qualify. If you manage to secure 3 points against Galatasaray, then the final group phase match against Munchen enough with a draw. However, currently it is doubtful that this scenario will be realized by The Red Devils, perhaps the match against Fulham will first give us an idea regarding their performance on the fourth matchday.

For the match at the 4th meeting of Manchester United with Copenhagen, it is likely that Manchester United won the match, yes, if you see a simple scenario in the 4th match UCL the standings will change if Galatasaray lost by Bayern Munich and we will watch it.

A difficult trip for Manchester United who will meet again with Galatasaray in the 5th match, it is very difficult to predict this match because it is true that the fifth match will be at home Galatasaray which Galatasaray might be more dominant in its game which will certainly put more pressure on the Red Devils. And also previously Manchester United lost by Galatasaray with a score of 3-2 in the 2nd match, in the 5th match whether Manchester United will take revenge or maybe they will experience defeat again as before, and indeed for the last match of the Manchester United group stage has little chance of To win because of Munich who became a favorite in Group A.

If the two teams that are now in first and second place in the standings (Inter Milan and Real Sociedad) collect 3 more points, then it will erase the hopes of Benfica. As for Salzburg, although they still have hope, but they still have to hope that one of Inter Milan or Real Sociedad loses in their last 3 matches and instead Salzburg must win all the remaining matches. With a scenario like that, it is something that is very difficult to realize, especially the two teams above will also always aim for good results in every match they do to ensure themselves that they will qualify from this group phase.

Both Benfica and Salzburg are only play in farmer league, that's why they can't compete against tough teams from other regions. It's different with Inter and Real Sociedad, they might be not the best in their own leagues, but they're used to fight against top teams every season.

Not to mention the good players in Benfica and Salzburg will join to other teams since they're more stronger or popular.

[DanWalker]

Not only am I the favorite to get to the last 16, but I think this season Bayern Munich is also the favorite to reach the semi-finals because of their form. Harry Kane has been very strong as the main striker this season where he has scored 2 goals and 2 assists in the Champions League and 12 goals and 5 assists in the Bundesliga in 9 appearances.

The group stage felt easy for them considering that there was no team that could really complicate their winning plans. Galatasaray and Manchester United have failed to prevent Bayern Munich from winning in previous matches, Copenhagen even less so. In fact, I really believe that Bayern Munich can sweep all the group stage matches with a win, that's possible this season.

As I said before, even though Bayern are strong candidates and favorites who will not have any obstacles in the group phase, but reflecting on the previous 2 seasons they always finished in the quarter-finals because they had to lose to several clubs even smaller than them, such as in the last 2 seasons Bayern had to lose to Villarreal which was unexpected and last season they had to lose to Manchester City.
This will clearly bring up a new condition where they will definitely have the same problem as before if their pot is not too good when the draw later.
This is also not a problem of performance because in the previous 2 seasons they still have Lewandowski and last season they lost to the defending champions but indeed this is proof that qualifying for the semi-finals is not easy to do so Bayern even though they are strong there is still no guarantee to qualify because surprises always happen in every season.

The biggest competitor for the Champions League title is currently Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. All of them have big chances to actually win the Champions League title. And I also believe that all three of them are going to be in the semifinals of the competition.

If we talk about Barcelona, I don't think they have any chance of winning the Champions League title, to be honest. I am not saying Barcelona is not a good team. They are better than a lot of teams, actually most teams in the world. But they are not Champions League material, to be honest.

[bangjoe]

There is an opportunity for Manchester United if he won his last two matches and at the same time Galatasaray suffered just one defeat it could push Manchester United to the second position to continue to the knockout.

Yes. Man United should try to win all the remaining matches. And they expect that Bayern Munich defeats Galatasaray again. The most difficult thing that Man United also has a match against Bayern Munich in the final match of the group stage.

If you look at the strength of the teams in Group A with 3 matches remaining. So United's chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very difficult. For example, let's say Muechen manages to beat United and Galatasaray, the points are still the same. Then United and Galatasaray managed to beat Coppenhagen. Finally, the deciding match is United vs Galatasaray. If Galatasaray wins or draws, they will qualify. On the other hand, United must use all their strength to win the match against Galatasaray. I think this is the option that comes to mind.

For the Galatasaray match against Bayern Munich if we look on paper we agree that Galatasaray will lose, and as a comparison Manchester United in his last match can also lose because against Bayern Munich, as well as when this fourth match the match between Manchester United vs Copenhagen can get victory then Manchester United will get 6 points, with the meaning of two wins while Galatasaray is only 4 points from one victory and from one draw, and even then if Galatasaray really lost against Bayern Munich.

Now if this scenario occurs then what will be a separate determination match is the Galatasaray vs Manchester United match, this match Ten Hag must bring home 3 full points if he wants to get the density to be able to qualify for the next round from this group phase, but if it fails to beat Galatasaray like The previous match was ensured that Galatasaray was more worthy to be accompanied by Bayern Munich to the next round to continue the league.

Yes, it seems like Benfica has lost hope of getting through the Champions League group stage, Benfica cannot compete with the clubs in Group D and Benfica can not even score a goals against their opponent when facing match in the current Champions League, to be for ranked 3 and getting to the European league also seem quite difficult for Benfica, but this could happen if Benfica in the next match can wins it so Benfica can catch up with their current points, but if Benfica can't get through the Champions League group stage and can't get to the European League, they can focus on the domestic league because Benfica is quite strong in the Portuguese league and Benfica can win the domestic league title again like last season.

[slapper]

I be expecting a massive development and steps forward to positivity prior to the game against Fulham tommorow. Fulham will host Manchester United at home and will hurt their defense with counter attacking football from Fulhams attackers.
With Casemiro, Aaron Wan Bisakka and Sergio Regulon all returned from the Injury, the defense and midfielder's should have balance. I've loved how Regulon adapted so fast, he has attacked and defended very well.

Somewhat, I agree with how you feel. There will be a big difference between Newcastle's situation and Arsenal's if Newcastle wins the title. After watching Arsenal play last season, I can say that they did play beautiful football, which makes the fact that they don't have any trophies slightly depressing. Mikel Arteta's method worries me too. The fact that he keeps playing Karl Harvetz, whose efforts have been mediocre, confuses me. According to me, Arteta may be taking too many risks and missing out on chances to win in smaller events as a result. Personally, I believe he should rethink his plans and maybe concentrate on the "smaller" wins that can boost the team's confidence and spirit

I think Barcelona also deserves to be favorite along with Man City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen. It's not without reason that i say this, we can see that currently Xavi squad has wiped out three matches with a win and is at the top of the group standings with 9 points. If we look more closely, City has lost twice in the EPL, namely at the hands of Wolves and Arsenal, Munchen was beaten yesterday by a third division team in the DFB Pokal. Madrid has also been beaten by ATM and Barcelona also lost in the El Clasico match. So i think each favorite club has a negative record at their respective domestic levels.

Meanwhile in the UCL, four clubs lead the standings with perfect points without defeat, it is very likely that this positive trend can continue. So in my opinion, the opportunities currently available are still the same, although the situations they face are quite diverse. The knockout stage will be more difficult than we imagined, I think the tough battle will start at that stage.

With a scenario like that, it is something that is very difficult to realize, especially the two teams above will also always aim for good results in every match they do to ensure themselves that they will qualify from this group phase.

But indeed for Benfica now it is very difficult because if they want to qualify then indirectly they must be able to win all the matches that will be done even with the record of other club between Inter or Sociedad never even won then it is still possible.
It's obviously a very difficult job, because  expecting  other club to lose but they also have to win then this is a mission that is difficult to do even almost can't so I think they have to give up hope of qualifying for the knock out phase but they can still be in 3rd position at least Salzburg can still be close to them but with a note that they can win in the few matches they do.
Their points are still 0 because they have to lose again and again so it is difficult for benfica at this time especially with a gap of 7 point it is very impossible I think.

The knockout stage will be more difficult than we imagined, I think the tough battle will start at that stage.

Barcelona was not as strong as those clubs. This club is rarely winning UCL after it was losing its prime era. I meant look at how barcelona was always going out early unlike real madrid which is always surviving in the UCL till semifinal or even final.
That proves that if barcelona's level is still far below real madrid at this moment. Bayern is always humiliating barcelona once these two clubs will met. I think that barcelona is not a strong contender to win UCL this season.

The situation is uncertain right now, but I believe Barcelona has lower chances compared to clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern. People have been calling these clubs are strongest contender caused by their consistentcy in the UCL.

There's also a reason why barcelona is still far compared with those two clubs too. It's quite clear if people were not even favoring barcelona to win UCL this season. It's still underperform.

But considering Benfica's previous achievement of being able to reach the quarter finals, they should be able to achieve the same thing this season. However, it seems that it is not going smoothly enough and they are having a very difficult time with Real Sociedad and Inter as strong candidates for teams to qualify for the group phase. For Salzburg, I actually don't see this team as more than an ordinary team when they are in the Champions League competition, but at least they can still get points compared to Benfica. So even though both are teams in the farmers' league, it is clear that Salzburg is still slightly better than Benfica.

[red4slash]

Yes. Man United should try to win all the remaining matches. And they expect that Bayern Munich defeats Galatasaray again. The most difficult thing that Man United also has a match against Bayern Munich in the final match of the group stage.

Finally, the deciding match is United vs Galatasaray. If Galatasaray wins or draws, they will qualify. On the other hand, United must use all their strength to win the match against Galatasaray. I think this is the option that comes to mind.

They still have a long way to go to be in the knockout stages. I didn't imagine Mamchester United would be in such a difficult situation, because at the beginning I thought Bayern Munich and Manchester United were the top favorites in this group, and that all changed when they lost to Galatasaray in the first leg.
A win is a must for Manchester United in the 3 games they have to play, it will determine whether they will qualify or not to the next round. Galatasaray have the upper hand now, with the situation they are in now, of course Galatasaray have the advantage.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Manchester United are hopeless for now. It is easily seen from the way they play each one of their games. Still no progress since the day Galatasaray beat them by 3-2 away in the Champions League. I hope that we can take advantage of their situation once again to get another win in Istanbul.    This would be a very important win for us to reach last 16.

Returning to Manchester United they are still having serious issues in defense and I can't say that they very comfortable with scoring goals in general either. Even their most productive players from last season are playing poorly now. I feel like they will draw with Copenhagen and lose to Galatasaray - Bayern Munich duo again. This would be enough to send them down to the Europa League.

There is still hope for a miracle. Don't give up on Manchester United. Perhaps the team will understand that not only Hug is to blame for such a bad game, but they themselves. then everything will go a little better and I really hope that in the match with Fulham Manchester United will show that they can show a beautiful game.

Honestly as I said in the post I would like to see Manchester United in this condition when they play against us once again in the Champions League.    I'm a Galatasaray fan and it has been a long time since I saw my team showing a this good performance in this competition. I believe that they have the strength to beat the Manchester club once again.

But when it comes to the EPL I would like to see them finishing the season in a good place in the standings. They don't deserve to be this bad there with a good squad. They are dealing with some injuries too though but this can't be an excuse. Erik ten Hag's future here would be in danger otherwise.

I’m not exactly a Galatasaray fan, but I’ve seen and noticed more than once what they are capable of!
As I mentioned earlier, Galatasaray especially gives their all in the game against their rivals Besiktas in their Turkish league. I even had the opportunity to visit their RAMS Park. Everything lifts your spirit so much that you can’t help but become their fan.

[Strongkored]

But considering Benfica's previous achievement of being able to reach the quarter finals, they should be able to achieve the same thing this season. However, it seems that it is not going smoothly enough and they are having a very difficult time with Real Sociedad and Inter as strong candidates for teams to qualify for the group phase. For Salzburg, I actually don't see this team as more than an ordinary team when they are in the Champions League competition, but at least they can still get points compared to Benfica. So even though both are teams in the farmers' league, it is clear that Salzburg is still slightly better than Benfica.

There is always something different every season and this time what is different is that Benfica did not perform as well as last season, of course there were problems in their team so that happened where out of three matches they did not produce a single point and I agree with you that Benfica is the team that will be the most difficult to win. can qualify from the group phase, or we can say that their chances are closed because in this group if Inter Milan and Real Sociedad each win just one win, it is enough to make them qualify from the group phase to play in the round of 16.
And in the fourth match against Real Sociedad, Benfica will face difficulty getting points because when they host Sociedad they lose, especially when playing at Sociedad's home ground.

there is no other way than to accept Man United current ugliness, even though they failed in the UCL, there will be an opportunity in the european league and there, if Ten Hag fails again to get the title, he will definitely lose a lot of fans and on the one hand, competition in the european league will also be difficult because there are several other strong teams such as Liverpool and Leverkusen are very strong in the European league.

last hope to give Man United a chance when the transfer market opens again must be to get lots of players to improve Man United performance and if that effort still fails, it looks like we will have to say goodbye to Ten Hag who will be fired from Man United.

[twiki]

Is anyone watching Manchester United vs Fulham right now?

Manchester United controlled the ball, but unfortunately did not make a single shot on target at Fulham.
from the beginning of the game there was a goal scored, but alas, after looking at the VAR, the goal was canceled because it was offside.
But as before, the Red Devils did not keep track of their shots against Fulhep. it's all just sad. Let's hope that something will change in the second half.

This could affect the state of the game in the Champions League
