UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[RaltcoinsB]

Yes indeed, although Galatasaray managed to beat Manchester United but of course, it does not mean that Galatasaray will be able to beat Bayern Munich too. Because after all, Bayern Munich is basically the team that can certainly win Group A, considering the previously predicted competitor team is Manchester United . But in fact, Manchester United have had poor results in the group stage so far and therefore, Galatasaray will surely look to maximize this situation to become the runner up of group A.

Bayern should not be compared with Manchester United now, the Red Devils have many internal problems, this affects their results. Galatasaray will not be able to beat Bayern, but it may well score 1-2 goals, because Bayern's defense is not in the best condition right now and they still do not have a reliable goalkeeper in whom they can be confident, but the same goes for Galatasaray, they concede a lot of goals and I think Bayern will be able to score two or more goals.

Galatasaray's defense is not very good either. They gave many open positions in the Manchester United match and Hojlund punished the Galatasaray defense with 2 goals. It is certain that it will be a difficult match against Bayern Munich, but Galatasaray needs to get at least 1 point in these 2 difficult matches so that their chances of finishing the group in second place increase.

It seems to me that even if Bayern are not the main candidate for the championship this season, they are still much better than other clubs like Barcelona or PSG... Right now Bayern are in first place in the group and have won two games... That's a good result...

I don't see you giving reasons why Bayern Munich is better than Barcelona, ​​but I agree Bayern Munich is much better than PSG who have only won 1 of 2 games. Barcelona also won 2 games, they did it without conceding a single goal, but it would be good if you found a reason why Barcelona was worse.

Barcelona leads the Group H standings without any mistakes so far. They are favorites to progress to the last 16 and I am completely confident about that. Bayern Munich are also favorites to qualify for the last 16, but I'm not sure they are better Bayern than Barcelona because the two have not met so far. Barcelona and Bayern Munich are in a relatively easy group, so both are favorites in my opinion compared to PSG.

This may be his reason https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/h2h/50080/50037/

Bayern was always dominating barcelona in UCL. Bayern had been winning 10 games against barcelona with 33 goals which is amazing. compared with barcelona which was only able winning two times against bayern.
The domination from bayern over barcelona is obviously true. UCL head to head statistic has become the main proof why barcelona was not as good as bayern. The gap is quite big between these clubs.
Bayern has always been dominating the match against barcelona. No doubt if people will always be calling bayern was even better compared with barcelona caused by the statistic had been also explaining it properly.
Blaugrana was always losing against bayern with huge scores. It's a sense statement to call that if barcelona was bad when it's compared with bayern.

Galatasaray's defense is not very good either. They gave many open positions in the Manchester United match and Hojlund punished the Galatasaray defense with 2 goals. It is certain that it will be a difficult match against Bayern Munich, but Galatasaray needs to get at least 1 point in these 2 difficult matches so that their chances of finishing the group in second place increase.

You're right. Galatasaray already got 4 conceded goals from 2 matches in this group phase. In each match, Galatasaray was conceded 2 goals. It indicates Galatasaray defense is actually rather weak. But their attackers played quite well, they scored 5 goals from 2 early matches. However, when they play against a strong team like Bayern Munich, it won't be easy to be as productive as the previous matches. So, I'm a bit doubtful that Galatasaray attackers will score many goals again. I just think that Galatasaray will be too focused on the defense line. They will play more defensive. It is a chance for Bayern Munich to play more offensively. Considering this matter, I assume the match will end with a draw result or a big win for Bayern Munich. It depends on how strong Galatasaray defenders to stop Bayern attackers.

I would rather than the defenders of galatasaray was too inconsistent. They were always going out of their positions. it makes galatasaray feel so hard in defending from the counter attack that might be coming from its opponent. I saw that how galatasaray was struggling when it was facing MU.
Galatasaray will meet strongest club in the group and im feeling doubt about the consistentcy from the club. This makes me feel so confidence to put my bet on bayern instead of galatasaray. Munchen is still being favorable to win the match even though it will be playing away.
Munchen's odds @1.47 while galatasaray was @6.20 btts @1.60

it's likely that if bayern will able to win against galatasaray with narrow score at this moment. Im feeling so confidence with bayern and tuchel has a target to get perfect result against galatasaray when it was playing away.
We are still far away from there after of international break. It looked like very long to wait it to come.

Manchester United has lost two games and has four more to play in the group round. If they win all four remaining matches, which I doubt, they will qualify for the next round of the Champions League. Manchester United's form has been inconsistent and many people have lost faith in the club. They are not performing poorly, but in the Champions League, they must put in more effort if they want to go to the next round of the group stage with others.

Manchester United does not inspire faith in their football prospects yet, and even the last win in an English Premier League match should not deceive much because it was achieved in the time added by the referee. On the other hand, the beauty of dual football matches in the Champions League is that if you win both of these matches, you can significantly adjust your tournament position and future tournament prospects and games with Copenhagen in the current situation is not the worst option for this. Another question is that the current Manchester United does not allow us to talk firmly about this because it can give out both a failed match and a completely successful one.

[klidex]

Harry Kane has scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the Champions League in 2 appearances, while Kane has also scored 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 appearances in the Bundesliga. I believe Kane et al will be difficult to stop and Tuchel's plan for that match is to win, but if Galatasaray manages to win points in that match then I believe they will have a good chance of qualifying for the last 16.

It's difficult for Galatasaray to get full points against Munich and I'm sure it's easy for Munich to beat Galatasaray, Kane and the Munich players now seem to have adapted quickly so we can see Kane perform very well in the domestic league and UCL, Munich will not share points with Galatasaray like Usually the full three points are Munich's main target to qualify for the next round.

Tuchel will of course prepare a mature strategy in facing Galatasaray later, even though Munich is playing as a guest, it will not stop Munich from winning the full three points and leading group A so that they remain safe in qualifying for the next round of 16. So far Munich has played very well so they seem to have a chance to win the UCL title this season if they perform consistently.

Bayern Munich is still the strongest candidate in the Champions League and in the domestic league and I am sure Bayern Munich will still qualify for the next round, Thomas Tuchel will try his best to make his men work optimally to win the match against Galatasaray and bring full points to lead group A.
I am sure that Bayern Munich will be able to appear impressive in this match, Galatasaray is not an easy opponent for Bayern Munich, especially since Galatasaray will be superior because they are playing at home, but I am sure that Galatasaray will have difficulty breaking down Bayern Munich's defense and so far Bayern Munich is still quite confident themselves to face quite difficult competition in the Champions League.

[tiCeR]

Now that they have turned around the game against Copenhagen and got their full three points, it is highly unlikely that they could still fail to pass the group stage in the Champions League. They haven't lost a single game in the group stage in years. The game against Galatasaray in Istanbul will not be easy and the game against Manchester United in Old Trafford will also be tough, but they don't feel the pressure anymore that they have to win every game from now on. They will be doing fine if they win their home games against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. That will do the job for them. But the goal will be to win the group of course as it raises their chances to avoid to play against a heavy weight in the round of 16.

I am with the prediction that Bayern Munich will top the group. When the group seeding was done many actually had a prediction of the top spot been between them and Manchester United but with the way United are playing they would only get second best in the group if they even qualify. The big threat to united will certainly be Galatasaray, they have been one of the hottest clubs in Europe this season and if Bayern can beat them in the two legs and United produce same result in the other game with Copenhagen then Bayern will have save them selves the top spot. And this is something I am speculating to happen except we see a very different Galatasaray.

You summarized it quite well and I think the threat from Galatasaray is bigger than some might think at the moment. The problem is not that Manchester United lost one game against Galatasaray, the problem is that they lost their home game against Galatasaray and for everybody who thinks that nothing is lost yet and Manchester United just has to show some quality and beat them in the game in Istanbul, those games are like hell with the Galatasaray fans backing their team. For Manchester United I think the game against Galatasaray will be no easier than the game against Bayern when they played in Munich. The atmosphere and then also the quality that Galatasaray has at the moment both makes me believe that Manchester United will not win that game. And if they don't win it I think they can't qualify for the next round in the Champions League.

before the group phase started, most of the people here said that Galatasaray would not be able to appear strong in the group phase and I also said that the team would not be able to compete with other european teams such as Man United etc. but the fact is that it is not as previously thought that Galatasaray can become a strong challenger to Bayern Munich because from group A the only ones who appear unbeaten are Munich and Galatasaray. this is very worrying if it can surprisingly shift Bayern Munich ranking even though it is impossible I always remember there are surprises in every match so I admit that Galatasaray cannot be underestimated if this team is one of the strong teams in Group A and Bayern Munich must be careful with this team.

Bayern Munich and Galatasaray won Manchester United, and the only club left is Copenhagen, which is completely out of the picture for anyone who underestimates any club at the moment because they have no comprehension of the fantastic performance that these teams will generate. The primary concern is, can Manchester United qualify from Group A after putting in so much effort and settling for less? I have enthusiasm for Manchester United since they are widely recognized for their capacity to turn things around in injury time, this is football were everything is possible to happen.

But so far this momentum of "this is football where everything is possible to happen" did not work in favor of Manchester United, but in favor of Galatasaray. When they won their game, I think that was a typical "everything is possible" moment. When Galatasaray saw the drawing of their group and they noticed Bayern Munich and Manchester United, I am quite sure that they were motivated but also grounded with their expectations. I am also sure that they thought they should do everything they can to win their home games, but instead they now have a win against Manchester United and still have their home game. I have big doubts that they will slip this momentum away from them. That is why I am convinced that Galatasaray will not lose the home game. I have no idea whether they can win twice against Manchester United, but depending on the odds I will consider betting on a win/draw combination for Galatasaray.

[rendravolt]

Shakhtar Donetsk will face Barcelona in the next match in Group H and I think their chances are still maintained if in the next match Shakhtar Donetsk can hold Barcelona to a draw. I know it is quite impossible to stop Barcelona with their current performance but it should also be known that Barcelona has now lost several important players due to injury such as Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and especially Gavi, it is likely that he will recover faster than other players because his injury is very light.

Shakhtar Donetsk can make good use of this, at least to put pressure on Barcelona even though this is an away match for them at Camp Nou. Shakhtar Donetsk's previous victory over Royal Antwerp could be a full motivation to be able to achieve a positive trend and perhaps the luck factor will play a very important role when facing Barcelona later.

[ancafe]

Yes, it is true that Bayern Munich this season is playing well and can maximize every game, unlike Manchester United, which is in a slump. although in the UEFA Champion League Bayern is ranked first, they have a tough rival, namely Galatasaray. in the upcoming match Bayern Munich will meet Galatasaray, of course this will be a fierce struggle for points for both teams.

Bayern Munich have the best players to perform optimally in every match but they must prepare everything to face Galatasaray later. Although Galatasaray is called a strong team this season but Bayern munich must be able to maximize the match later.

Galatasaray has good capital when they host Bayern Munich after winning at home to Manchester United and in the domestic league Galatasaray has also performed well so far. Bayern Munich must be aware of their front line if they don't want to lose in this match, playing in front of their own supporters makes things more convincing, where Galatasaray will definitely appear to press to get a quick goal.

The defense line is quite crucial in a match like this, especially since Bayern Munich is playing at home to Galatasaray as an away game. If Tuchel doesn't provide a solid defense then it is feared that they will concede more quickly and if that happens then Galatasaray will have greater enthusiasm to secure victory.

Yeah Bayern Munich will play with a bad defense since Neuer, Upamecano, De Ligt, and Guerreiro are injured, this will make Galatasaray able to score against Bayern Munich. It also depend on Bayern Munich striker, will they score more goals than Galatasaray or not.

Honestly I doubt Galatasaray can beat Bayern Munich, I think the biggest possibility would be draw.

[Litzki1990]

It is certain that it will be a difficult match against Bayern Munich, but Galatasaray needs to get at least 1 point in these 2 difficult matches so that their chances of finishing the group in second place increase.

This Champions League match against Galatasaray is not that important for Bayern Munich but at least one point is very important for the team to hold on to the second position in the table. If Galatasaray loses against Bayan Munich and vice versa if Manchester United can win the last match, then Galatasaray's dream of going to the next round will end here. 

Galatasaray's main problem could be their defense line, Bayern Munich usually play a very attacking game so they definitely need good quality defenders to counter their attacks which Galatasaray doesn't have at the moment. If Galatasaray will play for a point in this match, they will definitely give their defense the utmost importance in this match and will enter the final match against Bayern Munich with a strong defense.

[Y3shot]

Harry Kane has scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the Champions League in 2 appearances, while Kane has also scored 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 appearances in the Bundesliga. I believe Kane et al will be difficult to stop and Tuchel's plan for that match is to win, but if Galatasaray manages to win points in that match then I believe they will have a good chance of qualifying for the last 16.

It's difficult for Galatasaray to get full points against Munich and I'm sure it's easy for Munich to beat Galatasaray, Kane and the Munich players now seem to have adapted quickly so we can see Kane perform very well in the domestic league and UCL, Munich will not share points with Galatasaray like Usually the full three points are Munich's main target to qualify for the next round.

Bayern Munich is still the strongest candidate in the Champions League and in the domestic league and I am sure Bayern Munich will still qualify for the next round, Thomas Tuchel will try his best to make his men work optimally to win the match against Galatasaray and bring full points to lead group A.
I am sure that Bayern Munich will be able to appear impressive in this match, Galatasaray is not an easy opponent for Bayern Munich, especially since Galatasaray will be superior because they are playing at home, but I am sure that Galatasaray will have difficulty breaking down Bayern Munich's defense and so far Bayern Munich is still quite confident themselves to face quite difficult competition in the Champions League.

Galatasaray is not a team that can defeat Bayern Munich,  if you analyse the both team Bayern Munich had more experience when it comes to Champions league,  and their coach is also an experienced coach that has won the Champions League even before he came to Bayern Munich.  Bayern Munich had better squad than what Galatasaray has, so I don't think Bayern Munich playing with Galatasaray will be a difficult game.  Bayern Munich performance is still solid and it  won't be easy or possible for Galatasaray to take advantage of them .

Just because Galatasaray managed to beat Manchester United, I wouldn't completely say they can also beat Bayern Munich. I know Galatasaray's performance is fine and they managed to win important points in important matches, but the match against Bayern Munich looks like it will be very different because of the difference in quality and experience.

I favor Bayern Munich to win the away game against Galatasaray, but I wouldn't rate Galatasaray as a team worth underestimating. Galatasaray can take advantage of opportunities because they have reliable attackers, but Bayern Munich's defense feels like it will be quite ready to face the Turkish team's opponent in the right way.

Bayern Munich is the favorite in the group. There's no comparison with M.United. The old M.United is gone.
Galatasaray will definitely not beat Bayern Munich in Germany. (I hope I am wrong. )
Maybe we can beat them in Istanbul but it is a very low chance.
My prediction is that we will get 1 point in Istanbul.

Galatasaray has great chances of moving forward to the next stage as the Manchester United is simply having too many problems at the moment, with one of them being their overconfidence, just one day before the match against Galatasaray, Raphael Varane a Defender of Manchester United claimed the club has what it takes to win the UCL, when in fact they do not seem to have what it is necessary to move to the next round.

I don't agree with you, because M.United can't win anything with this squad. I don't think the players are of very high quality, Erik Ten Hag should definitely leave and a better manager should come in.
This is the most that can happen with this squad.

[wmaurik]

Galatasaray is not a team that can defeat Bayern Munich,  if you analyse the both team Bayern Munich had more experience when it comes to Champions league,  and their coach is also an experienced coach that has won the Champions League even before he came to Bayern Munich.  Bayern Munich had better squad than what Galatasaray has, so I don't think Bayern Munich playing with Galatasaray will be a difficult game.  Bayern Munich performance is still solid and it  won't be easy or possible for Galatasaray to take advantage of them .

I wouldn't think it would be easy for any team to win in the Champions League even though the team strength is very different between Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. In terms of experience and strength of the squads of these two teams, Galatasaray is not better than Bayern Munich, but I think that there won't be too many wins for Bayern Munich in this match because any team will give all their abilities when competing in the Champions League.

[Velvet78]

If Bayern Munich were in a similar situation to Manchester United then Galatasaray would have had a chance against them as well. However the situation is the opposite now. Bayern Munich are doing incredible this season. Especially with the addition of Kane to the squad they have got even more dangerous in the attacking line.

I don't think Galatasaray can win home or away against them as a result. I don't even expect them to get one point in one of these games. The game in Allianz Arena would end up with a big goal gap most probably. Galatasaray should just focus on finishing this group at the second position.

[skarais]

~~~

It's difficult for Galatasaray to get full points against Munich and I'm sure it's easy for Munich to beat Galatasaray, Kane and the Munich players now seem to have adapted quickly so we can see Kane perform very well in the domestic league and UCL, Munich will not share points with Galatasaray like Usually the full three points are Munich's main target to qualify for the next round.

Tuchel will of course prepare a mature strategy in facing Galatasaray later, even though Munich is playing as a guest, it will not stop Munich from winning the full three points and leading group A so that they remain safe in qualifying for the next round of 16. So far Munich has played very well so they seem to have a chance to win the UCL title this season if they perform consistently.

Maybe that's how the match between Galatasaray and Bayern Munich went. Galatasaray is not really expected to win the match against Bayern Munich, but it is not that they are incapable but because the quality of the two teams is very different.

Galatasaray's defense may be as good as in any other match, but Bayern Munich only needs 1 goal to win the match and take home 3 points. Kane is a striker who is difficult to stop at the moment, but I am sure Galatasaray will give their best in front of their supporters. The chance of a draw remains possible, but I tend to believe Bayern Munich can win it.
