UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Sim_card]

Man United's suffering is getting bigger and bigger. It looks like their Red color is being blurred. The start of the match was quite convincing as they took control and won with a goal from Rasmus Hojlund. Even Rasmus Hojlund however could have scored again and drawn.  But the bad result of Onana's blunder earned Casemiro a red card. This makes it easier for Galatasaray to press.  Currently Man United is the caretaker. It seems that they will find it difficult to qualify for the knockout stage.

This club, which was once so dominant in European football, is now experiencing difficult times. It is very worrying to see MU's current condition, losing in the league and UCL and playing at home.
watching the match last night, I saw the beginning of disaster for Mu when Onana's mistake which resulted in Casemiro's red card became one of the crucial moments that had a negative impact on Manchester United's game. and everyone knew after that Icardi could score

It baffles me to see that Man United time to participate in UCL is a blunder to their fans and the club, because of the poor defensive pattern and Onana worst performance. I don't have any hope for them to pass this group stage because since this season started and after I watched two of their games in the premiership, I knew it that Man United will be a mess in the champions league and I wasn't surprised at what happened yesterday because I knew it that Man united is suffering from a big problem that might not be gotten rid of this season.

Bellingham has already scored 8 goals in 9 games, if he keeps it up, Real will hardly miss another striker.

Just as Haaland improved the chances of Manchester City to win the champions league last season, Bellingham in Real Madrid and with how well he plays has improved Real Madrid's chances to win the champions league again this time, and even the La Liga. Bellingham is the best transfer they have made so far in this season. Real Madrid will easily qualify from the group stage, they have six points currently from their group and can also win their next game to have a perfect start to the competition.

I think we could see some surprise results in most of the matches today, I expect goals in most of the matches and it's also possible that some of the matches will end in a goalless draw.
Like everyone else, I normally think we will see a lot of goals in the Leipzig-City match, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a goalless draw. In most games I expect the favorites not to lose, yesterday already a lot of favorites lost.

Winning the next four fixtures in the Champions League can be attained of Erik Ten Hag would stop being a full-time idiot. This are worrying times but how they are managed is all that matters.
Man United have a good ball playing goal keeper but not same for  all of the Central defender's since Lisandro Martinez got Injured. That should have been improved before the season kicked but Man United didn't take the bold steps towards it.
Those two goals are good for his confidence. The Denmark young man is growing into a mature striker for United. Some decisions need to be tough taken by Ten Hag. Qualifications for the knock out stage will be tough I have come to conclusion.

When the 2023/24  champions league fixture was drawn I had an online argument with a friend overwhere Manchester United would finish in their table, I mentioned 2nd but he said United would not qualify for the next round, well he might be right after all, cause Manchester United currently got 0 points in their group and are at the bottom of the table.

 For them to qualify to the next round, they'll need to best Copenhagen  home/away as well as beating  Galatasaray away from home and probably getting a draw from Bayern of which I've got a doubt about but if they do it would give them about 10 point  which is enough to qualify them for the next round, Erik Ten Hag and his boys have let the fans down and would need to start winning games to get their trust and support again.

-snip-

Moving to Manchester United was like a disaster for Andre Onana, his performance has declined since he was in goal for Manchester United, even though previously he always performed well when he was playing for Inter. In two games in the UCL this season,
The goal guarded by Onana has been conceded 7 times. This number was the worst conceded figure for Manchester United and was accompanied by blunders and an unconvincing performance from Onana.

After being humiliated by Galatasaray at Old Trafford, Onana was considered a source of disaster for Manchester United because he was thought to have contributed to Manchester United's defeat to Galatasaray due to a series of blunders he made. Onana made the most serious blunder when Manchester United were defeated by Galatasaray, Onana pass went to the opposing player (Mauro Icardi). Icardi looked like he had just received a beautiful assist and then immediately took the ball into the penalty box. Casemiro, whose position was not far from Icardi, immediately made a tackle and caused Icardi to fall and at the same time earned him a red card from the referee which resulted in Galatasaray being awarded a penalty.

As a result of two consecutive defeats, Manchester United is at the bottom of Group A with 0 points and makes its chances of qualifying for the next round increasingly slim.

It seems that Onana has considered all aspects of the risks he will face if he is willing to move to Manchester United this season. Serie A and the Premier League are completely different and he seems to know that very well, but it doesn't feel right to judge him too much because so far he is still in the adaptation stage too.

Manchester United and the supporters should support his performance rather than ridicule him and say bad things which are the mistakes he made in several matches, but I am sure Onana can perform better and gain good self-confidence and be respected by his own team's supporters. Ten Hag 100% supports Onana and will always be like that, but Onana must be able to prove it by performing better without much pressure on his shoulders.

Last season, City often drew away matches, so it may well be that today we will see a cautious game from Guardiola. Today I will watch Newcastle - PSG, it is obvious that the main task for the Parisians will be not to lose this match in order to maintain first place. It’s surprising that bookmakers give such high odds for PSG - 2.96 looks very tempting, but at the same time it makes me think.

Carlo Ancelotti is keen on bringing excellent results for his team, siging talented players from transfer window, aiming at lifting significant titles this season, they're favorite to reach crucial phases in elite competition. Real Madrid didn't signed a potential striker that would filled in the space left open by Karim Benzema when he moved to Saudi side, however they have managed to cope with the present players who keeps brilliant performance in every game they featured in. Jude Bellingham is considered the best signing for Real Madrid this season after his outstanding performance for his new club.

Bellingham is the best news that happened to Real Madrid this season. The young player has always delivered the team in important games. The English player is gradually becoming a dominant force not just in Real Madrid but in Europe. This is the beauty of sports when you think that a player is irreplaceable another better player will suddenly be discovered. Nobody expected Bellingham to enjoy this kind of success within a short period.  It just seems that the player is destined for Real Madrid. Braga and Union Berlin are unlikely to qualify because Napoli is the favourite with Real Madrid. But I doubt if Real Madrid would win the game against Napoli in Santiago Bernabéu because they were just fortunate to win yesterday's game.

Just like yesterday the was filled with so much surprises and shock as big teams were loosing while the weaker team were winning, although it's an established fact that the champions league is a very competitive one and so every team would want to do there best altho I wouldn't want to see any team as small because for them to be at the UCL they have to first be champions in their local leagues.

Most game today will have goals contrary to your taughts because in champions league goals counts so they would most likely want to secure a goal at least, these goals could be useful in the nearest future for them so they have to make sure to get even if it's a goal especially for teams who will be playing from home, as every goal gotten by the visiting team counts a lot.

Leipzig vs man city is definitely going to produce a minimum of three goals and both teams are definitely going to get a goal, I'm very optimistic about both teams getting a goal as Leipzig wouldn't want to loose goalless at home, that's if they happen to loose and city will aswell want to make sure to get a goal or more so they will be at advantage when they will be visited by Leipzig.

Yes, I agree, last season Manchester City produced good results more often when Manchester City played at home. But I think, maybe at this moment the results could be different because after all, at least at this moment Leipzig is also on fire with the good goal productivity they have too. So yes, if for example Manchester City concedes first in this match, then of course Manchester City will play more openly and of course to score a goal back. Therefore, it seems that I personally not sure if this match ends in a goalless draw, because I think it is still very possible for them to score goals in this match.

It seems a bit difficult for City to win this match. I think Leipzig can win this one, so I don't think it makes sense to bet on this match. I'm also surprised that PSG have such high odds, especially away from home. I think PSG will not win this match. We can say that Newcastle United came to their senses in the match they won 8-0 and they recovered a bit after that match. It seems likely that Newcastle will take points in this match.

Dortmund vs AC Milan

If i am not mistaken both teams were never met before in this competition so this is their first met and for the first match Milan has gets unsatisfactory result because at home they only able to get draw result from Newcastle and Dortmund too is not so different because they just lose from PSG and this match will determine Dortmund position because if they lose again then their chances to qualified to knockout will be very slim even so with Milan that they should be able to collect 3 points from this match if they want to secured their position

Dortmund has several times met against Italian teams but they have poor results because in the last 10 meetings Dortmund have already lose 7 times but for this season at home Dortmund still unbeatable and besides that Milan performance is still unstable and regarding team conditions all of Milan players will be available today but Dortmund still unable to played Sabitzer because of injured and in my opinion this match have a potention to ended with draw result because the recent conditions from both teams is not so different and they are equally strong and this option has high odds @3.15 or for safe bet both teams to scores also good pick

[Out of mind]

Bellingham is the best transfer they have made so far in this season. Real Madrid will easily qualify from the group stage, they have six points currently from their group and can also win their next game to have a perfect start to the competition.

Last season, we can say that Manchester City won the Champions League only because of Erling Haaland's great performance. Manchester City have largely improved for Erling Haaland, and he has the highest reward for winning every match. Similarly, in this new season, Manchester City will fight to win the title in the Champions League by exploiting the potential of Erling Haaland. Likewise for Real Madrid, Bellingham has been in top form this season, and Real Madrid have the best chance to win the Champions League and La Liga. Capitalizing on Bellingham's improved performance, Real Madrid are in their best position this season and will do enough to win the Champions League. Moreover, Bellingham is in the best transfer position in this new season, his contribution in every match is great, his competition is interesting in every match of Real Madrid. They are in good form with 6 points in the Group C points table, but Real Madrid have an easy chance to win their next match against Sporting Braga.

Like everyone else, I normally think we will see a lot of goals in the Leipzig-City match, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a goalless draw.

The average goal scored on matchday 2 in 8 matches was 3 goals. In the number of matches that will be played soon, I predict the results will also be the same, namely the average goals that will occur in the eight UCL matches.
If the Leipzig - Manchester City match is considered to be a match where there will be a lot of goals, I think that is a very difficult possibility. In their match, if the result is a draw, I hope it doesn't end up being 0-0 because it would be a boring spectacle.

In most games I expect the favorites not to lose, yesterday already a lot of favorites lost.

There's no way it won't happen again. Matchday 2 has lots of surprises.

Atletico Madrid vs Feyenoord

The match between Atletico Madrid  vs Feyenoord is taking place now . Although Atletico madrid is more experienced and stronger than Feyenoord,  but Feyenoord is in good form. They won  the first match against celtic. The team won the home match  2-0.  Feyenoord also won against the mighty ajax in the Eredivisie. And I would say that the confidence of the Feyenoord players is very high now that they have won these two matches. And they will perform well against Atletico in today's match. I guess the match could be a draw.

Just 7 minutes into the match, Atletico Madrid's defender Hermoso made a mistake. The Feyenoord team got a lead of 1 goal. Since the first goal of the match was scored by Feyenoord, hope to get back on track in this match will be very difficult against Atletico Madrid. The match turned out to be competitive.

MU's prime gone when ferguson announced his retirement. There's nothing left other than a club that is always going up and down drastically. MU was never playing as good as onec ferguson was still a coach.
Everything changed a lot and many years wasted to search someone who was capable enough to handle the team as good as ferguson but MU never found any.

I have been seeing this club coached by so many coaches but the result was still far from what achieved by ferguson with manchester united. There will be not a new coach who will be able to bring united to go up again.
Ten hag was just overrated guy and the fans were over proud of him. The won against palace in EFL cup made the players were over confidence with their performance.

As you can see that manchester united has been losing its soul. MU will always be running in the same place. Despite the numerous changes in coaches, it appears that their impact on assembling the puzzle has not been very significant.

Yes, we can predict that the matches that will be played today will also have a lot of goals, but with this in mind, maybe everyone may be thinking that way. If everyone thinks that, we can also say that it will be the other way around, that the matches will end with no goals or fewer goals. I'm very undecided about the City-Leipzig game, anything can happen in this game and we can easily see any result. By this I mean that it could be 0-0, it could be 3-3 or it could be a win with a goal.
Let's see if there will be any surprises in the coming hours. We'll find out in about 4 hours.

After yesterday’s match that most of the favourites lost the game, I will not still put some hope in the better teams to win in today's match, I would rather stay neutral than to support any of them today. The matches I’m looking up to today is that of Newcastle-PSG and Leipzig-Man City. I expect this two matches to be very tough and I don’t expect a goalless draw in any of this matches, there will be a lot of goals in this match and they are going to be interesting to follow.

Of course, it's safe to say that all the teams that have made it this far are at a certain level and it wasn't a fluke for them to get this far. That's why the results of some of the smaller teams against the favorites of this tournament can sometimes surprise us and it's normal to be surprised after matches that end unexpectedly. We have seen that the teams that participated here and that we consider small - for example Lens, Copenhagen, Salzburg - sometimes beat the favorites by using all their strength in home games.
Every team wants to score goals in the Champions League and we can see this as a reward for playing dominant football. The more teams try to score against each other, the more goals or positions we should see.
I would normally expect Leipzig-City to be a goal-laden match, but we all know that football and betting are full of surprises. That's why I never like to speak with certainty.

Galatasaray is in great shape, but by all means I can't conceive of Manchester United finishing this game as the loser. I think if this game ends with a loss, ten Hag will also be under immense scrutiny. I think he is already, but as long as he now delivers some acceptable results, it will remain quiet in Manchester. This game is one of the most important games for ten Hag I think. Galatasaray would shut up the stadium pretty quickly with an early goal in that game. It would be a shocker to everyone.

Galatasaray would try to play the ball by long over head passes so as to weaken or discourage Manchester united from playing a settled-ball-on-the-ground football.
If Manchester can hold onto possession, it might not be enough because like I hinted, Galatasaray are known for long passes and crosses which might be overwhelming for the Manchester United players.
I do think Manchester united will play to a hard fought win and am sure of an above 2.5goal margin.

Now we know that Istanbul Galatasaray did exactly the right thing to beat Manchester United. These 3 points are invaluable for the Turkish club and what chances are left for them in the group? I am trying to think about a backdoor for them, but what should that look like? They will need a lot of luck now because apart from the two games against Copenhagen, which won't be easy either as Copenhagen has played a great game against Bayern at home, Manchester United now has to go to Istanbul and try to win the game there. That will be difficult because I think the Galatasaray fans will go nuts and be at least the 12th, if not the 13th player on the pitch. They need to win at least one game out of the two against Galatasaray or the home game against Bayern. If that doesn't happen, it is over. 

Like I predicted before the match, Galatasaray came all the way from Turkey and defeated Manchester United in their own home ground. Manchester United is a big European club without doubt but their performances since the start of the season has been very poor and that was why I was of the opinion that they must be at their best against Galatasaray if they want to take anything away from the game. The Turkish champions have never lost a league match since the start of the season and that tells more of how good they are.
With United's result yesterday, they'll have to win all their remaining fixtures in the group stage to stand a good chance of progressing to the knockout stages of the competition

That would be an impressive prediction you made here. Did you really predict it or did you give Galatasaray a chance, saying that it is possible that they beat Manchester United? Or did you even bet money on Galatasaray?

But anyway when we look at how Manchester United is doing currently, it is not the biggest surprise ever. They haven't played in a dominant fashion and allowed Galatasaray way too many chances considering that Manchester United played in Old Trafford. You would expect a game like that at Galatasaray's stadium maybe, but not in England.
