UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Manchester City will find it difficult to play and win Bayern Munich if they meet again this season in the champions league. Bayern Munich have been able to bring in a good striker that can perform when needed, talking about Harry Kane. In the champions league, Harry Kane will be fire for them.

I don't agree with this opinion mainly because I don't see any difference in the quality of Pep Guardiola's team. Manchester City still seem to have the same quality as last season and they will be ready to face whoever they face in the Champions League. Although these are just my assumptions about Manchester City, I am sure that Pep Guardiola will have great success next season.

Bayern Munich will not be as strong as you think, of course because this team doesn't look any stronger with Tuchel. Kane could have a big contribution if he decides to accept an offer from Bayern Munich, but Kane cannot guarantee that Munich will be able to achieve great success in the Champions League.

With the addition of new clubs to the competition, we are going to see an entirely novel dimension of competition. The UEFA Champions League would be competitive; we may see some new faces in the competition this season; let's say mediocre clubs would be really competitive, and we hope for good results from them in the next season. Manchester City are the reigning champions and are eager to take the challenge to the next level. Pep Guardiola is determined to win the title for the second time; let's hope they reach the final stages this time.

well we can say that it was already very competitive before, now it becomes more competitive? I do not know
mediocre clubs dont go ahead, in my opinion the stock is only getting longer, I mean we will see more matches and not all of them of quality

Guardiola has had success in recent seasons. And so he kept his squad unchanged. And still this team can be considered as the strongest squad in the Premier League. Only İlkay Gündoğan left the team. However, with Manchester City's midfield having experienced players like De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, City's midfield is unlikely to be unstable. I think we will see a consistent performance from Manchester City next season as well. City squad is very strong.

With the help of Thomas Tuchel, Munich is trying to build a stronger team. Their main target will be the Champions League. And it is for this purpose that the Munich management is building their team. I heard rumors today that Kane's signing with Munich is going to be final. The Munich team will be able to perform better in the Champions League if Harry Kane is in the squad.

I want to talk about a slightly different topic. I expect Barcelona to do great things in the Champions League this year, the way the team is progressing day by day is really admirable. On the other hand, Real Madrid needs a good striker for the team.

I agree with you about the development of Barcelona in terms of the quality and mentality that the players have with Xavi. Barcelona can be expected to do great things in the Champions League including winning tickets to the final next season, but I don't think Barcelona seems very ready to do that. Barcelona need more strength to win a ticket to the final, I mean they have to be strong enough in all positions and play well every game, it's difficult.

Xavi will certainly hope for a bigger target for Barcelona next season. Xavi has failed in the Champions League 2 seasons in a row, so he will do everything to achieve something better. Qualified from the group stage is a realistic target, while if Barcelona manages to win tickets to the semi-finals and finals, then that is something very great.

We know very well that this competition has not started yet, even the domestic league competitions will just restart next week. basically, we haven't been able to measure the strength of the Barcelona squad when carrying out their matches in the Champions league. Likewise, when they play their matches in their domestic league.
I will not assume too far before seeing their performance and consistency. moreover, we don't know which team will be their opponent in the group phase yet.

But with the current Barcelona squad, at least they can be better than the previous season. also, the chemistry between players to players should have been getting very solid. Xavi's task now is to apply the best system and formulate his squad to become a team that is difficult for his opponents to beat. ideally, Barcelona must prove first to qualify from the group phase. if you pass from the group phase, we have a little idea of ​​how this team will move to the next stage. Apart from that, several clubs that have just rejoined the Champions League cannot be underestimated. I think English clubs are quite tough opponents apart from Manchester City.

Not good debut for Arsenal former Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang...

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cannot play better than when he was in Dortmund. He was not impressive in Arsenal, he was not also impressive in Barcelona, and he was terrible in Chelsea and a big flop. I would not expect a big performance from him. For me, right now he is just a mid striker that has seen his better days, Marseille cannot depend on him much.

Manchester City will find it difficult to play and win Bayern Munich if they meet again this season in the champions league. Bayern Munich have been able to bring in a good striker that can perform when needed, talking about Harry Kane. In the champions league, Harry Kane will be fire for them.

The deal fo Harry Kane isn't a done deal already, agreement between the club has been in place but not between the players but this would be a big one for the england forward who is allergic to winning trophies. This is a chance for him to win with a big club.
He won't be the first england forward in the league he can do better than he imagines.
Aubameyang should have moved to Saudi Arabia but he choose to join another european side. He did well for Arsenal but not during the last days. With Chelsea he didn't get the chance to work well with Thomas Tuchel before his sack. And Potter used him for fewer matches.

Speaking about Tottenham and their performance in the Champions League with the current team they have is not something to make sense because they are making wrong decisions over and over, not hiring better players for the premier league and the champions league, losing Conte, and blaming him because of the bad performance on the whole team while he was not guilty. These are all good reasons to say they won't get anything even in the next years.

I'm also surprised with tottenham team. Because they are not observing what other clubs are doing and are not bringing in new players to strengthen them, these guys are not progressing. Even though only few players they already have are performing well, they need to continue to add more players to join the ones who are already performing well for them so that they can have what other teams have. I'm not sure, but I also believe it to be one of the reasons Herry Kane wants to leave the club; yet, they still don't want him to leave.

But I think he realizes that if he stays, he won't progress like other players, and when you feel good about something, you want others to know about it. But given how seriously Harry Kane is playing, the player deserves a team with players with more experience than Tottenham.

I feel like they already gave up. For a decade or so right now they have tried to be one of the bigger clubs, they had Kane and Son, and they wanted to build a team around it and if I am not mistaken they did alright at UCL for a while there as well, not for a long time but a season or two.

We could say that we believe we could do something that can change it in the end and I believe that we are going to end up being something that will benefit everyone in the end. Because if they can't win anything at all and mocked about it, whereas teams like Brighton is not mocked about not winning, maybe it's time for Spurs to be a bit lower, build some money up, get a lot of it, and then start trying again later again.

However, with Manchester City's midfield having experienced players like De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, City's midfield is unlikely to be unstable. I think we will see a consistent performance from Manchester City next season as well. City squad is very strong.

Manchester City have lost at least two important players during the transfer market. Apart from Ilkay Gundogan who moved to Barcelona on a free transfer, Riyad Mahrez is another player who moved to the Saudi Pro League with a transfer fee of up to 35 million euros. The Algerian national team player performed well last season in the Premier League with a record of 5 goals and 10 assists in 30 appearances. However, Riyad Mahrez may have to accept the fact that his position as a winger at Manchester City will soon be replaced due to Pep Guardiola's policies.

Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker appear to be staying after the two reportedly agreed to sign new contracts. So even though the two Manchester City retainers have now changed costumes, I don't think Manchester City will lose much of the quality of their game. Manchester City are still the favorites in the Premier League, but stiff competition will force them to find more replacements for the positions they have left behind.

With the help of Thomas Tuchel, Munich is trying to build a stronger team. Their main target will be the Champions League. And it is for this purpose that the Munich management is building their team. I heard rumors today that Kane's signing with Munich is going to be final. The Munich team will be able to perform better in the Champions League if Harry Kane is in the squad.

Tuchel failed at Chelsea, but he managed to win the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich last season.
I'm not sure about his ability in the Champions League next season even though Tuchel won that title with Chelsea a few seasons ago. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Inter, Napoli and several other teams are the superior teams, so it is difficult to expect Bayern Munich to win the title even if in the end Kane plays for them next season.

I don't have high hopes for Barcelona next season in the Champions League, but it's true that Barcelona can be expected to live up to the expectations of its fans in terms of form and play. Barcelona lost three important players to their squad list in the transfer window, including Jordi Alba, Busquets and Dembele, but they also have some great arrivals to contend with next season.

It doesn't matter if you have doubts about Barcelona even if you say nothing wrong about them. Good performance can be expected if you judge the quality of the players, but it never guarantees anything for them without hard work.

A high salary is apparently not as valuable to him as playing for the club he has dreamed of since childhood. The fact that they are treating him like this now I think will only make it worse for the team, because in the Champions League without him it will be very difficult for them, unlike in the French league. If they make it out of the group stage, they are unlikely to go far without him

Do you know what the reason is for Mbappe to more or less boycott everything? It is not PSG, it is Mbappe who wants the massive bonus for the new season while he wants to leave the club at the same time. But you have to understand that this is a bonus he would get when he stays. His plan is to get PSG to pay him his bonus and also to let him go because otherwise they would lose the total transfer fee if he stays another year. That is his calculation. If Real goes up with the price, PSG could take a chunk of that money and also pay him a bonus he never deserved. Maybe it is not as idealistic as you think as if he just wants to go to the club he has been dreaming of since his childhood but now his bosses destroy his dream.

I always thought of him as the kind of player who chases money, the kind of player who acts selfish on the pitch, but I didn't see that in the last season, so there was a feeling that he had changed, but apparently not. The SPL money that was offered to him he rejected probably for one reason, because going to this league now when it is just in the development stage is not a very sensible decision.

A couple of hours ago there were rumours that he will stay at PSG until his contract expires, but as we can see - the situation around him and the club management is terrible, he was suspended from games

Ok so let's talk about this taking examples from other clubs like Paris SG last season had Messi and also Kylian Mbappe and who doesn't know these top 2 players? while Paris SG still failed to get a title in the champions league even though there were 2 high quality players in it.
Just like Bayern Munich, even though having Harry Kane is not necessarily a guarantee if you will be able to beat City in the champions league later to get the champions league trophy and it is not guaranteed to only rely on 1 of the club's top players to be able to get a title in the champions league.
I agree that there are no major changes to City's players and most likely because Pep Guardiola feels his players are still very strong this season but that doesn't mean that they can also get trophies again this season because every season every club will change their formation and their performance will definitely increase so City players at least also have to work harder if they want to become the reigning champions in the champions league.
I say this because I will not side with any club because there is still Arsenal, and also Real Madrid who will appear strong in the champions league and hopefully the favorite club will get a title in this champions league.

I think Bayern Munich has more chances to win the Champions League than PSG. Bayern Munich is a team that has a lot of experience in the Champions League, and if Kane decides to join them then of course Bayern Munich's strength will greatly increase. Harry Kane can have a positive impact on the effectiveness of Bayern Munich's attack, of course, because Kane is one of the best strikers in Europe right now.

Even though there is no guarantee that Kane can bring a lot of success to Bayern Munich, at least Bayern Munich can be expected to be better because of it. Kane can score 25 more goals in a season in all competitions, so Bayern Munich will be helped by him next season "if Kane decides to join".

In today's UEFA Champions League match Rangers vs Servette two teams came to the field to play. Enjoyed a very nice match between two teams. Rangers team goalkeeper played very well today. Rangers team scored 2 goals today and won the match. First 6.  J. Tavernier scored the first goal in the minute. And C. Dessers scored the 2nd goal in 15 minutes. Rangers scored two goals before the halftime of the game. Servette scored 1 goal in today's match. However, the performance of the players of Servette team was not very good. Today the goalkeeper of Servette team  Everyone has played very poorly since.D.  Douline received 1 red card in 59 minutes.

Personally, I won't go for this game because I don't have much information about Servette or Rangers. I just know Servette was 5th place in the Swiss league in the last season while Rangers got 10th place in the Scottish league which can show us the difference however the Scottish league is not the same as the Swiss at all but I think this game is worth to risk and bet on Servette for the better rate because the rate for Servette is 3.35 while it's 2.13 for Rangers.

The Munich team will be able to perform better in the Champions League if Harry Kane is in the squad.

Munich problem last season was lack of a good striker to do the scoring for them. Ever since Lewandoski left the club be vaccum hasn't been filled and I know that if the club can be able to buy a good striker this season they will perform greatly in the champions league this season.

Manchester city is the strongest, there is no doubt about it but I can't really tell if they will be able to maintain their performance that they put in last season because this is a new season and there have been slight changes in most clubs which makes them unpredictable. If Kane will finally go to Bayern,I expect to see the best performance from them this season.

[Texac]

I liked the development in Galatasaray's attacking performance so far. They were much better than the games against Zalgiris. However I can't see the same effort when it comes to their defending effort. Because it is like they are even moving backwards about that. The first half performance in defense against NK Olimpija was worrying for me.
Maybe after this 3-0 victory in this away game it will be easy for us to move on to the next round. But the manager Okan Buruk must be aware of this big weakness in defense and he must create a solution to this. If we had a more capable competitor against us I don't even want to know how bad the result would be.   

I want to talk about a slightly different topic. I expect Barcelona to do great things in the Champions League this year, the way the team is progressing day by day is really admirable. On the other hand, Real Madrid needs a good striker for the team.

A real point you make, in the Champions League we are down with Manchester City and Real Madrid but we are not talking about Barcelona that much. Compared to last season, Barcelona have improved their game a lot this season which we can see reflected in the friendly matches. Considering the fact that we are not getting the expected performance from Real Madrid and Barcelona are performing better than our expectations, it can be assumed that Barcelona will do well in the Champions League next season. 

At the moment, Real Madrid will not recruit a main striker in their squad as they wait for Mbappe next season. Real Madrid is going to play next season with the current team that Real Madrid has. 

To do well in the Champions League, Barcelona must maintain this consistency. Barcelona will do well in the Champions League if they can maintain this consistency.

Okay, I will say this. If Barcelona is able to make sure that the three players that they have not been able to register yet, are registered and playing for Barcelona, I think they have a good chance in the Champions League. But if Barcelona somehow fails to do that, and there is another problem regarding the finance, I think Barcelona will be in trouble. Now I hope Barcelona will be able to make some arrangements and make sure that those three players play for them. But I understand that Barcelona had big plans about these players. So they will certainly be in trouble without them.

[Marvell1]

Yes, Mbappe is obviously a cynic, and all the fairy tales in 2023 about "my favorite club since childhood, etc." it's not even funny anymore. But he is in his right, he fulfills the contract and there can be no claims against him. PSG is another matter - they paid him for something, but they are trying to pressure him to get more from him than he was obliged to do. This is both unethical and somewhat illegal.

I must say that his behavior is cynical
he is a strategist, very intelligent but in the end he turned out to be a full-fledged mercenary
I don't know if I would take a player like that in my team
one capable of stabbing you at any moment for money

but he's also a professional, so I think it's just for show and to curry favor with the fans

Reconsidering his motives, it appears that his pursuit is not solely driven by financial gain. As a professional footballer, it's only natural for monetary considerations to factor into his decision-making process. So he is going to think about money. It just seems like he has a certain love for money that certainly has an effect on his decision.

So it is obviously going to be a decision that he will have to take keeping in mind that if he does stay in PSG he will probably get another huge contract. But yes that is not going to be good for his legacy. I know that he has spoken a lot about Real Madrid being his favourite team. But I also understand why he did end up choosing money. But now I think we will know that he is going to get a huge amount of money anyway. So he should go to Real Madrid.

They could have played goalless in this match, but indeed the red card received by one of the Marseille players allowed the opponent to be more free. And statistically, Panathinaikos can only shoot one shot that leads to the goal of the 14 attempts they made, and unfortunately 1 shot that leads to the goal can directly tear the net guarded by Lopez.

There is still a second leg for them to turn things around, and the opportunity is still very big for them. one goal in my opinion is a gap that is not too big, and what will be difficult is the possibility that Panathinaikos will play more defensively in the second leg match later.

The home game in the second leg will have to be utilized very well, otherwise their journey might stop here.

Panathinaikos is stronger than Marseille in the statistics of that game. Even their game was quite impressive from the early minutes of the first half. Indeed, Many people were surprised because the final result of this match was won by Panathinaikos. I think Marseille have lost their balance after one of their players was sent off in this game for getting their card. So that Panathinaikos was able to take advantage of the opponent's weakness when his opponent's balance began to disappear due to the loss of one of his players and a goal that came from 83 minutes through Bernard was important enough for Panathinaikos to seal this match by winning.

Unfortunately for Aubameyang because he was brought in by Marseille to be able to bring big changes to their front line. However, Aubameyang still cannot make a big contribution in this match, So Aubameyang must be able to prove his best quality in the second leg later.

I think Bayern Munich has more chances to win the Champions League than PSG. Bayern Munich is a team that has a lot of experience in the Champions League, and if Kane decides to join them then of course Bayern Munich's strength will greatly increase. Harry Kane can have a positive impact on the effectiveness of Bayern Munich's attack, of course, because Kane is one of the best strikers in Europe right now.

Even though there is no guarantee that Kane can bring a lot of success to Bayern Munich, at least Bayern Munich can be expected to be better because of it. Kane can score 25 more goals in a season in all competitions, so Bayern Munich will be helped by him next season "if Kane decides to join".

I'm not sure what's lacking for PSG, as they have already invested a significant amount of money in high-quality and expensive players. Despite having Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe, the reality is that they still can't achieve the title. Mbappe already wants to leave, and Neymar also wants to leave. It seems like PSG will face more difficulties in winning the UEFA Champions League.

[JoyMarsha]

Considering the fact that we are not getting the expected performance from Real Madrid and Barcelona are performing better than our expectations, it can be assumed that Barcelona will do well in the Champions League next season. 

We can only assume that Barcelona performed better next season in the Champions League, it's been a long time since they performed more than expected of them.
Nobody would likely consider Real Madrid to be a serious contender for the champions league trophy by the next season, in my opinion. Their Laliga and Champions League games will be affected by their failure to sign Mbappe or the lack of a quality striker in their squad. They may not be able to win any trophies at the end of the next season if they lack a quality striker. which hasn't been done in a while.

The chance is very low for PSG to win UCL with the current squad. PSG will not have mbappe as he is gonna be benched the whole time in this season. The fact that if PSG didn't have a good performance during the pre season match. It makes me doubt whether PSG can perform better than last season in UCL. It must be noted if so many clubs have done massive improvements for their squads as preparation for UCL. I saw that if PSG was not even better compared with newcastle at this moment.
Neymar is still injury and he will not be able to play in the squad. The fact that if anything can happen. It's only matter of time until PSG is gonna be kicked out from UCL again next season. My expectation for PSG was not as big as when there was messi in the club.
Im so skeptical about PSG right now.

Real madrid performed so badly during the pre season. Ancelotti has been even showing how disappointed he was with the outcome of real madrid during the preseason. The lost against barcelona makes him feel so bad with the current squad.
Joselu did nothing. He was only making a spectacular goal but he has made very low contribution to the club during the preseason. Real madrid needs to buy a good striker at this moment. Even though perez said if real madrid completed its last transfer after the club signed joselu and that's not enough. Perez must have realized if real madrid needs additional striker at this moment. Joselu's performance in pre season is far from my expectation. I will not call real madrid as a strong contender to win UCL.

Its performance is far from what i have expected as joselu was also placed at the third place of la liga top scorer. There must be a new striker to come asap.
