UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oneandpure]

I didn't have much information about Molde FK before but it seems this team got the fourth place in the Norway league and they are one of the strongest teams in this country. Also, Molde lost the last game against Galatasaray with a 3-2 result which shows us the performance of both teams is very close.
That's why the rates are very low for Galatasaray unless Molde shows a better performance in the second leg.

Molde FK is a football team from Norway and last season successfully finished in first place and successfully won qualifying slot for the UEFA Champion League. For this season, Molde FK not have impressive performance in domestic league and separated 10 points left from first standings position BodoGlimt. But its not secure for Galatasaray on second leg although winning one goal above because second leg more crucial if Molde FK winning above two goals automatically they will get one slot in Champion League. Have advantage for Galatasaray with second leg match playing in their home, we know how atmosphere of Galatasaray fans will make Molde FK under pressure until 90 minutes. Both teams have one step closer opportunity if want qualify to Champion League next season, second leg is final match for both teams if want play in Champion League season 2023/24.

The truth is that Pep Guardiola has been one of the best managers of his generation and there's no way that we can talk about European football managers in the history of the beautiful game of soccer that he won't be named among the elites.
His ability to continuously rotate his squad and play his players in their strange positions and bring out the best in them is also another reason why he's regarded as best among all the active managers in football

I tell the yougins around my ends to daily watch Manchester City and watch the players they would love to play like in the future. During Pep Guardiola's days at Barcelona, that was exactly what I did watching the likes of Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquet closely since playing midfied my best position. There's a lot to be learnt as a player and a youngin headed for coaching career.

He's a tactical genius and has got to be the best football manager in all of European Football and also the World currently. I know there'll be a perfect replacement for him but for now he's got no ldeal replacement. Winning the treble, and the the Super Cup. Man's done enough.

Molde was also attacking a lot to be honest. Nonetheless, Galatasaray ultimately triumphed due to their superior accuracy and goal conversion rate.  A good confident performance in the first leg and I believe they will carry the confidence forward in the second leg with one goal advantage.

That's showing if galatasaray has even more solid defensive line compared with molde. I saw that from the stats if molde had been made 6 goal attempts, but only two were successfully converted into the goal. I believe galatasaray had more than 90% chance to win the second match. Molde needs a miracle to make it happen. The club had no choice other than to use the offensive strategy since the game was starting. Im feeling so confident to pick galatasaray instead of molde for the second leg.
The chance to get ez money is very big right now. We can see that as an opportunity. Just hope that molde will not be lucky enough during the second leg.

Galatasaray was very lucky to get a goal at the end of the match, the goal scored by Fredrik Midtsjo made them superior in this first leg and of course made it easier for this team in the second leg later.
Actually, if you look at the quality of the teams, of course there is a stark difference between these two teams, so I think Molde's defeat is quite reasonable and even I think the resistance given by Molde is strong enough.
The second leg later which will be played at home to Galatasaray, of course, creates an opportunity and possibility for Galatasaray to return to be able to get a big win.

In this match I highlighted Mauro Icardi's performance, it was extraordinary, he scored a spectacular goal and also managed to get an assist, this was a great start for him with the Galatasaray team.

Molde FK almost managed to make the match end in a draw, but Galasataray managed to maximize the opportunities that existed in the final minutes of the game. The second leg of the two teams still have the same chance of qualifying but Galasataray certainly doesn't want to fail in front of their own fans later because it won't be fun, so I think Galasataray will qualify for the champions league group phase, because Molde FK is facing a lot of pressure harder in the second leg later than in the first match. Galasataray only needs a draw or win with a narrow score, which is enough for them to compete in the Champions League.

Maccabi Haifa vs Young Boy ended goalless, it's a shame that Maccabi Haifa was not able to maximize the advantage as the host in this first leg, even though they controlled the match they had few chances and Young Boys will have more chances to qualify even though in this first leg match theirs game isn't good enough.

Galasataray is really in high spirit and that is expected from a Turkish top team that have not done so well internationally in recent years. I see them making impact this season if they maintain their scoring and resilience. 

[Sebas.tian]

It was a very interesting match, from the first minute Molde continued to press Galatasaray defense, until they finally succeeded to scored first. Although there were actually many golden opportunities for them, but only Ellingsen header goal could nestle into Galatasaray. Molde actually played quite well, but they made a mistake and Galatasaray was able to reverse the situation in the end, at the moment the score of that match is 1-2 Galatasaray leading. Very Nice game.

I think, Galatasaray really deserved the victory from the match because they were very prepared to disgrace Molde from the match which they did to defeated Molde to embraced points from the match, because they really made the match tough for Molde strikers through out the match. Based on what Galatasaray players showcased in this match, show that they will still have that opportunity to create a good chance to defeat Molde in their second leg. I think, Molde manager has a lot of work to do that will give his players long strength because they started the match well in some few minutes in the first half to take a good ball possession that was giving people hope that they will achieve victory before the end of the match but the match turned to the favour of Galatasaray. I believe Molde will not allow what happened in this match to happen in their next match than to use all their tactics to secure victory at the end of the match.

[RaltcoinsB]

Galatasaray still managed to win by 3-2 against Molde. But the problems in defense were quite visible during the match. Nelsson is still not ready for the season. Since the first matches of the qualifiers his performance has been inadequate. Abdülkerim's performance has been much better than him in the defense line. Maybe Kaan Ayhan can be given a chance in Nelsson's place to see what changes. Because with this defending Galatasaray can have more serious problems in the future.

I mean the group stage can be really difficult for Galatasaray. Because they are likely to face much bigger opponents.

Galatasaray barely won the match against Molde. Molde was better at start of the match and could have scored more then 1 at start. Galatasaray got lucky with that own goal from the free kick and thats when the game took a different turn. But i still think that Galatasaray will win easily at home against Molde.

I didn't have much information about Molde FK before but it seems this team got the fourth place in the Norway league and they are one of the strongest teams in this country. Also, Molde lost the last game against Galatasaray with a 3-2 result which shows us the performance of both teams is very close.
That's why the rates are very low for Galatasaray unless Molde shows a better performance in the second leg.

Speaking for Molde, they were very effective in yesterday's match. They were unlucky that there were players whose finishing was not good. Galatasaray, on the other hand, managed to win despite entering very few positions. Mauro Icardi played a big part in the win. Galatasaray got one goal and one assist with Icardi. Since the rematch will be in Istanbul, I don't give Molde many chances.

[wiss19]

We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. I did not expect this match to be so competitive and exciting. Molde players dominated the first half. They probably made 12 shots in total. Still, Molde trailed 2-1 in the first half. In the second half we also see the dominance of Molde. In the 56th minute, Molde's midfielder Haugen managed to equalize the match. However, in the second half, Galatasaray's players could not make a single shot. It seems their main task is to counter Molde's attack. Galatasaray should play more attacking strategy. I think Galatasaray will be able to win the match if they play attacking strategy.

First leg match was full of entertainment and quality soccer from the both sides but at the end Galatasaray was lucky to have injury time goal and advantage which is going to help them for the qualification of the group stage in this season they have done few good transfers which are helping them for having better results like Icardi is surely big player and doing impressive job for them in early stages of this season if they keep things like these most chances we will have them into round of 16 in this season because they are improving quality and performance is also good from their side as well.

Molde attack was also impressive which not allow Galatasaray for having any easy time in these 90 minutes game, but sadly things were completely not favoring them, so they were not able to have positive result from this match even after giving their best.

I believe Molde will not allow what happened in this match to happen in their next match than to use all their tactics to secure victory at the end of the match.

the second leg will definitely be more interesting. only 1 goal difference and we will not know how the team is prepared for the second leg. Galatasaray were very lucky to score late in the second half which worked in their favor later in the second leg.
hopefully, Galatasaray will increase their initiative in attack. statistics show they only play efficiently with some effective attacks. coach Molde may have to figure out a strategy for the second leg. they had a lot of chances in the game but it was very difficult to get a goal.

in the Galatasaray vs Molde match this is not luck but indeed Galatasaray is very confident and ambitious to win the UCL title even though it looks very convincing at the moment but if you have met an equal team Im sure Galatasaray will start to fade and we can see for yourself how competitive the match in this UCL there are many top team and they are very strong after improving the performance of several player who were successfully recruited and I not doubt Galatasaray but to qualify for the finals there will be very little chance.

Galatasaray are keen to qualify for the Champions League at any cost. And Galatasaray's performance is pretty good in every match. Despite not performing very well against Molde, they managed to win this match. Galatasaray won the match 3-2. But the entire match was dominated by Molde players. There is no doubt that Molde performed well in the home match. They also attacked a lot. Galatasaray, however, were much quieter. They were keeping the defense tight and trying to score on the counter attack. Galatasaray's match strategy was very good. This is why the team won against molde. I think this team will be able to perform well in the second leg as well and qualify for the Champions League.

The opportunity does exist for Manchester City to add another title in the Champions League this season, but it's still too early to talk about now because we haven't seen how all the teams that entered the Champions League will look like this season. There will definitely be surprises in the Champions League this season and all teams really have to work harder when competing in the Champions League because strong teams are not only in England, but also from other countries this season.

The big teams playing in the champions league this season have definitely prepared their best strength to be able to provide stronger competition in the grub phase matches later. In exactly 7 days, we will see the grub phase drawing being carried out and there is always a hellish grub or grub filled by big teams.

It's not just English league teams that are counted as strong teams in the Champions League, But teams from Serie A and also Laliga and the Bundesliga will be included in it. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City as well Bayern Munich and Psg still have the same opportunities and all teams will show their best strength in the grub phase later.

English teams are mostly doing good in Champions League group rounds but after these things never been same like we have in last season few Italian sides were also at their best and Spanish teams are also having enough quality which is helping them for having better results this time we are going to have another good season from the Italian sides as well because in last season we have improved performance from them with all three finals were involved by Italian sides now they are having changes which will give them positive change for the better results.

Bayern Munich is seasoned team in Champions League and their performance never been bad with this season is surely going to be interesting for them as well PSG is surely still finding their rhythm for the better results, hopefully things will be also improved for them and their success with Mbappé is going to stay here for another season.

Of course, Galatasaray will have very little chance in the Champions League, even in the group stage. I don't even think that they will get further. It would probably be good for them if they could stay in the Europa League, where they might have a chance to qualify for the final. Nothing good awaits them in the Champions League.

Probably not the defense, but the attack in this match was Galatasaray super, by good to concede 2 goals from such a team Galatasaray should not have, but in attack the team was lucky and eventually managed to win. Icardi is in good shape again and scores regularly, apparently his wife's influence is not felt yet.

In general, yesterday all matches were excellent, we can also note an extremely hard match Rangers - PSV, 17 shots on goal, hard fought, 20 fouls, 4 yellow cards for Rangers and in general it was a hard match, although I think many expected PSV to win.

Molde FK almost managed to make the match end in a draw, but Galasataray managed to maximize the opportunities that existed in the final minutes of the game. The second leg of the two teams still have the same chance of qualifying but Galasataray certainly doesn't want to fail in front of their own fans later because it won't be fun, so I think Galasataray will qualify for the champions league group phase, because Molde FK is facing a lot of pressure harder in the second leg later than in the first match. Galasataray only needs a draw or win with a narrow score, which is enough for them to compete in the Champions League.

Galasataray is really in high spirit and that is expected from a Turkish top team that have not done so well internationally in recent years. I see them making impact this season if they maintain their scoring and resilience. 

After galatasaray has been beaten by panathinaikos and the club seems tried to evaluate its performance in the previous match. Galatasaray improved their defense by making a small change to their defenders after having a weak defense against zalgiris in the previous round.
Galtasaray has been able showing how good it was. I was really surprised to see that. It seems like that galatasaray will be able to go to the UCL soon.
Molde was just losing its golden opportunity. It seems like that everything is going back again to the right track for galatasaray.

Excuse me but what game are you talking about between Galatasaray and Panathinaikos? I was trying to find it and the last one that shows up on the Internet is from 2019, which was a friendly match and ended 2-1 for Galatasaray.

Anyway, this was an important win against Molde and it is a huge step towards the Champions League qualification as it is anything but simple to beat Galatasaray in Istanbul. But it's important to not that they won this game because they had a high efficiency in their offense while they could still improve their defense a lot. Molde was just not able to efficiently use their opportunities. It makes Galatasaray's performance look better than it actually was.

19th week matches played in the Norwegian League. The Turkish League has just started. Galatasaray were therefore at a bit of a disadvantage compared to their opponent and didn't play superior for most of the match. But they won the match because they had experienced players. Mertens, Icardi, Muslera push the team in such matches. Last night's match was one of those matches. Icardi came on the scene unexpectedly and gave Galatasaray a boost with a great goal. The match in Istanbul will undoubtedly be a very exciting one. Galatasaray have the scoring advantage. Now they will want to win the second leg with the strong support of their fans.

I think it is still early to bet on Champions League matches from this round. I'm speaking for myself at least because there are still so many teams that I don't have any idea about. I tried to bet on such teams in the past and it didn't end up well for me.    It feels safer to bet on the matches of more known teams than these for me.

This is the last season with the current Champions League format indeed. I wish it didn't change because I find the new one ridiculous. You are in a league-like system but you don't even play with all the teams there. I don't know how fair this system is going to be but let's see. If it doesn't work out well they would return to the previous version I guess.

It is always advisable to only bet on the teams that you know their capability. So that is the reason some people do not bet in the early stage of every competition until they have seen all the teams play before they know their abilities. But I still want you to understand one thing which I consider very well whenever I am betting on the Champions League games. That thing I want you to consider is that every team that qualifies for champions League is a good team, especially if they are from the top countries of Europe such as England, Italy, Spain, Germany
So, it is not right for you to underrate any team in the Champions League, put this into practice when predicting your matches.

The opportunity does exist for Manchester City to add another title in the Champions League this season, but it's still too early to talk about now because we haven't seen how all the teams that entered the Champions League will look like this season. There will definitely be surprises in the Champions League this season and all teams really have to work harder when competing in the Champions League because strong teams are not only in England, but also from other countries this season.

Any team that competes in the Champions League is regarded as the strongest, most capable, and best-performing squad in its respective league. Since being eligible for the Champions League indicates that a team is among the champs in their league, none of them would think less of the other because they can compete and lift the Champions League trophy like the others.
Teams that haven't won the Champions League trophy in a while would like to make another attempt to do so this season, while those that haven't in the past would like to compete for the Champions League title(increasing the level of competition in the Champions League this year).  I can't wait to see how Manchester City and the rest would dig out their match result this time around

Now we are living in new era of the soccer which winning trophy is never been easy without huge investments and here all clubs are not lucky enough to have success and investments as they wanted in recent time mostly clubs which are having quality players and enough sources are able to secure their success but still UEFA Champions League is one of the prestigious event in soccer world and best teams from the Europe are participating in this event.

This season again is going to be very competitive because situation is very interesting with many top teams are having quality players which are creating good entertainment for the title race even still many pundits are surely Manchester City and Bayern Munich are going to be tough teams to watch but few clubs from Italy and Spain are also going to have surprises because they are also on better run and improved performance.

[rendravolt]

Maccabi Haifa against Young Boys ended goalless and maybe this was the most boring match among the others last night. Maccabi Haifa who was favored to win but instead appeared disappointing in front of his fans. Perhaps what stood out the most in this match was the sheer number of yellow cards received by players from the two clubs. Meanwhile, the other match between Braga and Panathinaikos was at least quite exciting, although from the start I suspected that Braga would win this match. Panathinaikos had caught up in the injury time minute but the 2 goal advantage from Braga was unable to catch up to Panathinaikos, so the first leg victory belonged to Braga.

But from all of that, maybe Molde's match against Galatasaray was the most exciting and even the hosts took the lead in the early minutes. But not long ago Galatasaray outperformed the goal before halftime. Molde had hope in the second half and they managed to even the score 2-2, but towards the end of the match came a dramatic victory for the guest Galatasaray who scored his 3rd goal and at the same time closed the victory for them in this first leg away.
