UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[el kaka22]

Thursday will be the draw day, lets see how the groups are going to shape. Some teams get unlucky draws and some teams do get very lucky draws, that is why sometimes you see teams that are better end up not going to last 16 and some bad teams to go to last 16 anyway. Like last year how Barcelona failed to do it because they had two great teams on the groups and that was normal for them to end up losing, both Bayern and Inter played very well.

I think it will be fun to see because it basically shapes the future of our bets as well and that is an important thing. I believe that it is not going to be simple but it will also not be impossible neither. I know that it will get to a point where it will be profitable if the top two of each group is much better than the last two.

FC Copenhagen couldn't find second goal but they played with the lead for the most part of the game. That early goal broke the resistance of Rakow Czestochowa. Zwolinski's goal was so late, they didn't have time for second goal. Rakow still played better than expected and well deserved the respect.
PSV Eindhoven really made a show tonight against Rangers. Saibari should be seen different this season. He may be the new wonderkid.
Royal Antwerp played just as I expected. Very good defense for whole 90 minutes. They conceded a late goal but that didn't make any difference. Balikwisha pulled the plug in extended time. All three teams deserved to play in Champions League.

Copenhagen after getting the first goal and increasing the aggregate goal played a bit passive in the match as despite the chances they had, they were more careful not to get a quick counter-attack from Rakow which made their chances wasted.
On the other hand, Lukasz Zwolinski's goal in the crucial minutes was not really predicted and Rakow tried better in the last few chances because they realised that they had to go all out in the remaining matches even though the result was that they still had to be eliminated.
The 2-1 aggregate means Copenhagen join the other clubs for the Champions League draw on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I hope that the big teams can be brought together in a pot. So we will see more heated competition between them to reach the round of 16. For now, it's likely that other teams don't want them in the same pot as Manchester City or Real Madrid because they could destroy their dreams early.  lol

Yes, the draw will be held on Thursday of course all eyes will be on each pot after the draw is finished. I hope Barcelona can be in the same group as Bayern Munich again because they seem to have a revenge mission if that becomes a reality.

[snipie]

In my opinion, Galatasaray, Young Boys, Copenhagen, PSV Eindhoven, Antwerp and Braga will pass.

So I was right at the end and all of these teams qualified to the next stage
PSV particularly punished Rangers badly in Netherlands after their draw in Scotland, that was the largest victory in this round with 5 - 1.
Tomorrow will be held the draw for Champions League groups and the first matchday will be played in September 19 and 20.

Currently I would put Barcelona ahead of Real Madrid. Because all the players of the Barcelona team play the match with great responsibility. On the other hand, if Real Madrid has a dedicated striker, I think the team will be complete.

Madrid is probably much more experienced in the UCL than Barcelona, even Barcelona failed last season, if you look at both of them playing well, just look at the domestic league at the moment Madrid is far superior with 3 wins in a row and established them at the top of the standings so it looks like they are right really consistent even though they have not found a striker who can replace benzema's position.

There are too many rumors about Mbappe being able to replace Benzema as a striker in Madrid, but it hasn't been achieved yet and the results are still the same. Madrid with the current squad is also sufficient according to Ancelotti, but we'll see how it goes, no one knows how the two will play in the UCL this season, but what I see in the domestic league is that Madrid is far ahead of Barcelona.

What I have noticed this season with Real Madrid is that despite the fact that Benzema is no longer with them,they are still fighting to win their matches and the are achieving it. The absence of Benzema has suppress the club's performance. They  have started this season with a winning strategy and I believe this season will be better more off than last season.

In UCL,I know that Real Madrid is after winning the cup and that was why Ancelotti is still in the club to achieve this victory for them. Now that Vinicius is on injury,this might affect the performance of the club only if Ancelotti will make a good replacement for him that wouldn't make them miss him in their matches. Real Madrid has a better chance of winning trophies this season that Barca.

He is a striker and does not have good skills to play as an attacking midfielder or even as a forward. He is not like Messi or Dybala who feels more comfortable by playing as a forward, play maker or attacking midfielder.

I don't know about his skills, but it should be not comfortable to play in that position because it is not his ideal position. Julián Álvarez can play as a second striker, but I doubt he will play with his best as an attacking midfielder. Sure, he isn't Messi who can play in many position. It is because Julián Álvarez always played as a striker so far.

I agree with you that Guardiola knows about that and he also knows that Julian has yet developed his skills for an attacking midfielder. Maybe he will try to test Julian with different positions than a striker as it is his style. He also requires his players to be able to play at different positions as it gives him and the club more flexibility in tactics.

Yep. If Guardiola wants to optimize the potential skills of Julián Álvarez, he must put him on the right position. Force Julián Álvarez to play as an attacking midfielder may reduce his potential as a productive striker. We know that Julián Álvarez often makes goals, he must have the desire to score goals as many as possible. He isn't a player who prefers to provide assist for other players.

Psv was just by a class better then Rangers,in first game they werent lucky but in second game they destroyed Rangers. I think that PSV will be really good in the champions league and i think they will pass the group faze and will be in the knockout faze for sure if they play like this.

[Velvet78]

PSV were incredible today. The second half was just totally different. I was waiting to see a close score at the end honestly. Because a similar scenario was happening to the previous season. Once again the first leg in Rangers' home ended up with a 2-2 draw. I thought the whole matchup would end very close.

However PSV were completely different in the second half today. They increased their tempo a lot and scored 4 more goals. A big destruction by 5-1 must be the best way to revenge on the previous season as well. But most importantly the fans must be really happy now.

No one doubts PSV when playing at home. Based on statistics since last season PSV has always won by 2 goals or more, I mean in Europa competitions of course we still remember how PSV beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Europa League match and today the opponent is Rangers clearly there is no doubt. I watched this match and I must say PSV attack was very fast and accurate, as you said if they play like this then PSV can be a threat to the opponent the only thing PSV lacks is mentally unstable when playing away for example in the first leg match against Rangers.

PSV were in total control especially during the second half of the game. I particularly liked their first goal scored by a beautiful header. Rangers were completely destroyed as they conceded 5 goals and could only manage to score one goal later scored by the captain. I bet that goal had probably given the Rangers side a morale boost only to be crushed as PSV put in more goals to ultimately win the game.

Rangers also helped increase the tally with a costly mistake that resulted in an own goal. That goal helped seal PSV’s win as they won the game comfortably with 5 goals to Rangers 1. PSV were really impressive as they had lots of attempts at scoring goals and ultimately came out with the win. The game was really thrilling as it produced a lot of goals.

Royal Antwerp, Copenhagen and PSV advanced to the group stage after beating their opponents in today's game and now there are 32 teams that will enter the group stage of the champions league season 23/24. Of course we can't wait for the results of the draw for the group phase and if I'm not mistaken the draw will be made tomorrow. Can't wait for any team to be in one group and maybe the most awaited thing is that there will be a group of hell in each season. But what is clear is that this season will be an exciting one after last season many newcomers managed to get a place in the champions league zone.

[Slow death]

They were games with results that didn't surprise me too much, PSV played against Rangers, in the first leg it looked like Rangers would really have a chance of going through to another stage, but in this second leg game PSV showed a big difference in quality. between Rangers and them, it was a game in which PSV managed to score 5 goals and only conceded 1 goal, it's funny how treacherous these European competition games are, in the first leg both teams scored 2 goals, so it seemed that in a way they were balanced and in this second leg PSV's favoritism was clear. It was a crushing victory for PSV. Congratulations to PSV

Braga also won in their game, they had already won in the first leg and won again in this second leg, so they move on to another phase. Galatasaray also won again in their game against Mold, but to be honest this was a victory in which Galatasaray had to depend on luck, in the first leg they had difficulties to win and in this second leg even when playing at home they had it again. the same difficulty to win, I honestly keep asking myself what we have to expect from them in this champions league, how far will they get? It seems to me that they won't get far, in my opinion.

young boys who played against maccabi, in the first leg the game ended in a draw, so it seemed that maccabi would have a chance in the second leg game, but what we saw in this second leg game was a humiliating defeat for maccabi, the young boys They scored 3 goals and didn't concede any goals in this game, so they move on to another phase. Honestly, I don't see any of these teams that played and made it to the next stage getting far

[Ayers]

Galatasaray was very lucky against Molde. The penalty that Icard won was a good turning point for Galatasaray, maybe the match would have been very difficult if it hadn't been for this penalty. Even if Galatasaray won in the first match, the victory would not have been so easy if Galatasaray had not scored early in the match played yesterday. Galatasaray has a good vibe for now. Icardi smashes in almost every match. Galatasaray can bring itself to a higher level in Europe with the transfer of a solid defender. Them need a some luck in the group stages.

I was actually not very worried about Galatasaray. Because first of all, they had the advantage from the first leg. But yes, in the second leg, it was a little close for comfort to be honest. And I will definitely say that in that second leg, they were definitely a little lucky to win. But at the end of the day, they are not going to complain about how they are winning. The only thing that will matter is that they are winning. This is just the playoff in the Champions League competition though. A lot more harder competition is waiting ahead of them. I hope they will be able to perform well in those matches.

PSV is learn from their mistakes that since the beginning of match they were attempts to pressed Rangers and the result is they can control the match and win 5-1 and this is really unexpected result from PSV because surprisingly they can able to win with big scores from Rangers and a bit surprised to see Rangers performance because they were so poor in this match but this is good for PSV because finally they can get revenge after last season they lose in the same stage and other teams such as Braga, Copenhagen and Antwerp also following PSV steps that they will advances to the group stage and the drawing will be held today so just wondering on which group they will be in and because mostly the teams who qualified today will into pot 4 so big possibility they will into the same group with Manchester City or Barcelona

I know that it will get to a point where it will be profitable if the top two of each group is much better than the last two.

We had a bit more expectations from Barcelona in the last season of the Champions League, but I don't know why Barcelona failed to give their best performance in the last season's Champions League. According to statistics, Barcelona took the lead from Bayern Munich last season but ended up losing 2-0 to Bayern Munich. Also, against Inter Milan, Barcelona created a chance to win but ended the match with a draw. Barcelona could have finished last season's Champions League well if they could have drawn against Munich. Despite performing worse than expected last season, Barcelona have a chance to do well this season, but to do well in the Champions League tournament, Barcelona's defense must be strengthened because Barcelona's defense has not been strong so far to me.

Barcelona team has been able to perform amazingly in La Liga last season. The team is performing very well at the beginning of this season, so we can expect to do well in the Champions League as well.

What do you guys think about pot 4 teams? Do you think which ones have better chances to advance to next stage? I think Real Sociedad and Newcastle United may surprise us all, its always best to not underestimate Spanish and English teams that could reach high ranks in their leagues. I think Celtic and Galatasaray are also ones that have higher chances to at least hit 3rd place in the group stage with their relatively strong squads.

But what is clear is that this season will be an exciting one after last season many newcomers managed to get a place in the champions league zone.

Not seeing Liverpool on the list is quite strange to me, and out of the 4 Premier League clubs, Manchester City is the favorite, Arsenal and Manchester United will probably qualify from the group phase and play in the knockout stages, but Newcastle's presence in this tournament will probably be doubtful because they don't have enough experience here.
Sevilla, who qualified because they won the European league last season, are also one of the clubs that are in doubt because in Laliga they have performed poorly so far.
Bayern Munich is back to being a more competitive club with the arrival of their new striker Harry Kane, and it is a dream for the English player to be able to continue playing in the Champions League which he sometimes did not get at Tottenham.
And waiting for surprises from the teams that qualify from the playoffs in this group phase.

Barcelona have bad trend in UEFA Champion League last two season in a row after failure qualify from group stage, they have been eliminated in group stage last season after loss fighting with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. For this season still waiting with drawing group stage and will possibility for Barcelona get difficult group?

Not optimist with Barcelona chance qualify to next phase if the same group with Inter and Bayern Munich because get bad trend actually against Bayern Munich never winning yet in last several matches. Last season, Barcelona defense is solid in domestic league with teams conceded fewest goals but playing in  Champion League they are most weakness defense.
