UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[el kaka22]

PSG ending up with a win shouldn't be this shocking normally, and the fact that they are so happy for getting it is weird. To me there are about 4 teams that are good on this league, Bayern, PSG, City and Real Madrid.

Yes, this will not be the semi finals, some of them may even face each other beforehand but that doesn't mean that they are not the best four clubs, normally when you look at the squads these teams are the best teams out there right now, and the only reason they may not go to semi finals could be either facing another one of the four, or they just ended up losing to teams that are much worse than them. PSG beating Dortmund should be normal, it was the Newcastle loss that was a terrible game for them.

[ShowOff]

It is a strong European team so they easily won the last 3 matches in the UCL, Bayern Munich at least was able to crush all the teams in the group including Manchester United, there was nothing when they faced Bayern.

This is just the group stage, it will be more interesting when they have entered the top 16 to see who meets each other, when the big teams meet evenly matched teams, this will be interesting!

This is the team that many people like, while Barcelona is still quite good even though there are several injured players, in the last 16 the most important thing is to be able to maintain their performance, thinking that at least when they are in the last 16 the players will have recovered.

I know this is just about the group stage, but the current performance of several teams can be a reference in analyzing their chances in the higher rounds. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona are the favorites in their respective groups, so I really think that they will make it to the last 16 this season.

Barcelona failed to reach the last 16 in the last two seasons, so this is the perfect season to expect them to return to the last 16. The match will be even more difficult in the knockout round, especially if both teams are strong teams from their respective groups.

-

Even this all is too early, but I have feeling most chances we will be having Manchester City vs Bayern Munich/ Real Madrid final in this season because things are going into their favor, and they are having good complete package for the title race with upset chance is always in this event but most chances these could be the last man standing.

If Manchester City manages to qualify for the final this season, then that will be a great achievement for them. Real Madrid are of course one of the favourites, Manchester City and Bayern Munich too, but I won't discount how these teams get through the knockout games as so far it's hard to say.

[borovichok]

It seems, Young Boys and Crvena zvezda are both not of good quality at this moment or it can be assumed, that Young Boys and Crvena zvezda have the same quality. Because anyway, from the existing results, the fact is that Young Boys and Crvena zvezda have the same points and statistics . Moreover, when Young Boys and Crvena zvezda met, the final result of their match also ended in a 2-2 draw. Therefore, I think the third place in this group is very unpredictable, because Young Boys and Crvena zvezda have the same chance to succeed in becoming the team that finishes in third place to continue to the Europa League in the knockout phase later.

Group G is not tough as expected, these teams are just dashing away easy points to Manchester City and RB Leipzig.  Mere looking at their performance in games, it's publicly out of range, they don't possess the necessary qualities to match up any elite competitive teams. We know they won't make it but atleast pulled an outstanding performance against their oppositions, that will definitely give them a boost in their performance in next game. Young Boys and Crvena zvezda are absolutely contributing zero growth to their standard currently, but they still have hope to develop their team and channel their energy.

[lixer]

In Group F, I was expecting goals between the teams in both matches, but it didn't happen as I expected and the winners didn't score. I was especially surprised that Newcastle United didn't score at home against Dortmund. The home team, which has managed to score a lot of goals in recent weeks, froze against Dortmund. Even though they had more possession of the ball, we can honestly say that both teams played on an equal level but Dortmund scored the goal and won. With this win Dortmund actually showed the other teams that they are still in the group. If they had lost points in this match, it would have been very difficult for them to get out of the group.

In sports, we have to accept all things with every game can go either way like we have last night I was also expecting this match as good for the over but at the end we have only one goal with Newcastle United was unlucky their two shots hits sidebar and after these things were not into their favor as well, but good thing still they are in good situation for the having spot into next round because AC Milan performance is awful, and they are goalless in last three games which is really the worst thing happen and next match against PSG at home will be decider about their future in this event.

But, again Newcastle United performance is not bad at all because they are doing good work and their big win against PSG is still going to have good advantage for them, but they have to done good in next games for their full chances.

[Lillominato89]

exactly! Group F is a hellish group. On the third day all four teams still have the possibility of finishing first in the standings, even if it is very difficult for Milan to do so they can still finish second in the standings, and this is also thanks to the victory of Dortmund against Newcastle which still keeps hopes alive for Milan, if Newcastle had won practically for both Borussia Dortmund and Milan it would have meant an almost elimination from the Champions League. Now the return matches will be very exciting in my opinion

Everything happened exactly as it was originally supposed to, this is the most difficult and most interesting group in this Champions League. Well, Dortmund surprised us very pleasantly yesterday, and even though for half the match they simply kicked the ball away from their goal, the beauty of football is that any strategy can work here. Newcastle had a very good chance to level the score, especially at the end of the match, but Dortmund survived, and Milan looks like it will remain in last place, the opponents are too strong...

I honestly don't know if Milan will remain last in the standings, what is certain is that in 3 matches they have scored zero goals and 3 conceded! too little, but it can improve! if Milan changes their mentality I think we will see some exciting matches in this group, since everyone still has the chance to finish first and no one wants to finish last! so there will be good challenges for third place too

[rahmad2nd]

Newcastle are very unlucky to be in this group... I'd probably say it's the group of death... But Borussia and Newcastle still have a good chance to be in second place... But Milan have to show their best football to try to get out of the group... But I'm more interested in how Newcastle will play...

Well that's what Newcastle have to do except keep trying to win in the next match.
Our guess is that Dortmund and Newcastle might be able to compete for second place while PSG is still safe at the top of the table....
For Milan a bit skeptical they look very difficult to be in this group of death, can Milan be with the last remaining matches?

I feel PSG and Newcastle will probably qualify, it is possible that Dortmund could take over the position. It's still very difficult who deserves it.

Based on my personal point of view, Milan's style of play is not much different from Newcastle's. However, that doesn't mean they are playing pramagtis. It's just that their style of play doesn't really rely on tactics and strategy. btw, what I say is not necessarily the same as other people's opinions. These two teams tend to rely on how to play and win the match. That's why, in yesterday's match, I tried my luck betting on Dortmund. because Terzic prefers to anticipate when his team is about to play their matches, especially in crucial matches.

As for Milan, I'm not sure I need to comment too much on this team. but what is certain is that Milan still has matches to play in this group F phase, we'll see how Stepano Pioli's squad goes through their remaining matches in this group phase.
Talking about Newcastle, they are currently in 2nd place, having the same points as Dortmund.
On the fourth matchday, Dortmund will be the home team. it could be that the situation is reversed. Dortmund won their match again over Newcastle at Signal Iduna Park, BvB headquartrs. Thus, Dortmund's opportunity to qualify for the next phase is very wide open. Meanwhile, PSG is now in first place in the group phase.  In the next match they will face Milan, if PSG wins again.  That means, who knows what Milan's fate will be in this Group F phase.

Haaland finally has return to his shape now and 2 goals from him yesterday makes Manchester City can able to beat Young Boys and this result too makes Manchester City strong at the first place with 9 points and they had 3 points above to Leipzig and just like i said before Manchester City has into easy group because so far only Leipzig is the strongest opponent in group G and talking about Manchester City chances to qualified i think mathematically they need 3 more points to qualify for the next round and it's not hard for them to collect 3 points from 4th matches because Manchester City as a host next week will play against Young Boys again

I just see Haaland as a small game player, never scoring in big games because he's usually locked by the defense. I still maintain that he's a flop no one is talking about. Imagine not being supplied passes by the wingers, midfielders and fellow attackers, you will find Haaland getting exhausted and easily dribbled. To be frank, nominating him for the ballon d'or is not something he merits, he should rather focus more on not allowing everything be centered around him. I think if he had not being nominated to taking spot kicks and De bruyne hadn't been feeding him those passes, his goals will not have amounted to the 36 he netted last season and even though he has 8 goals in 8 games for now, we are still seeing if the second season syndrome will grip him.

Damnit! Lol. I just can't believe what I'm reading. Erling Haaland might not be scoring goals now but he is a very bright player. He is no small game player.  Erling Haaland is not a flop for God sake. De Brunye has been absent and Bernado Silva too but has still found ways to show up. Over the weekend during the Premier League is was outside the penalty box. He scored a fantastic goal. You have just watch him play.

You don't know football to say he doesn't merit being nominated for the Ballon d'or. You must watch too much of volleyball game.
He was signed up to score goals not to provide assist, at least Erling Haaland is being useful in his own side.

I honestly don't know if Milan will remain last in the standings, what is certain is that in 3 matches they have scored zero goals and 3 conceded! too little, but it can improve! if Milan changes their mentality I think we will see some exciting matches in this group, since everyone still has the chance to finish first and no one wants to finish last! so there will be good challenges for third place too

It depends!
Now back to Milan for the next two UCL matches they are the host, whether they can improve the mentality in front of the fans to get back points because it is very valuable for Milan to be in second place, this is one of the advantages too, if for example Milan wins during the next two home matches I think the opportunity will be wide open to qualify.
Yeaah so far Milan have not been able to score goals but the next match they could be more impressive so as not to be left far behind if the results continue to draw.

[junder]

In group H, the situation is different. Here we can see that Barcelona dominate the group. They have a group in which they can probably leave the group as the leader without losing a single game. With 8 goals scored and 1 conceded in 3 matches, everything is going well for Barcelona. We can say that the group will most probably end with this ranking. Porto will probably finish 2nd and Shaktar will probably finish 3rd. In yesterday's match against Shaktar, Barcelona could have scored more goals, but I think there was fatigue from the Bilbao match played at the weekend.

That's right, Barcelona's situation is very secure with the first place in the table and perhaps this is an achievement and a pretty good opportunity to enter the next stage. Honestly, it is very impressive what they have done, Barcelona has been able to dominate the match in the last few matches, managed to succeed in three matches by bagging 8 goals and conceding only one goal is a great achievement.

With this situation, there is no doubt for Barcelona to qualify in the group stage and continue their struggle until the end of the season. Next Barcelona will face Shaktar again and maybe this match is not a big threat to them and even if the final result is surprising where for example Barcelona blunders and loses then it is not a big problem because in terms of points they are very far away, even the difference with Porto itself. But yes I am sure Xavi will be able to get through this match easily to maintain their chances of qualifying for the group stage.

Even if we go back to their last five UCL matches, AC Milan went goalless. Milan 0 -2 inter, inter 1 - 0 milan, Newcastle 0 - 0 milan, Milan 0 - 0 dortmund and most recently Psg 3 - 0 milan. With results like this, it is not impossible that Milan will be the caretaker in this group, even in third place they will be overwhelmed, because of course the team's self-confidence is starting to fall.

In my opinion, AC Milan's game in the UCL is still like a club in the middle of nowhere, if they don't get full points in the next match, AC Milan will have to prepare a new coach, especially since Pioli is still shameless and still believes he can still qualify for the last 16 of the UCL.

Group F this season is seen as the most difficult group to guess, it really deserves to be called the hell group. Three group phase matches have already been played, and all four clubs still have a chance to qualify for the next stage, how difficult it is to predict this group. Previously I thought that milan could qualify with PSG for the last 16, but it seems that this will be difficult to achieve if you look at the performance they have shown. Hope is still wide open in the remaining three matches ahead, two home matches and one away match. If Milan has the ambition to qualify, then they can no longer afford to lose points, even though at the moment I know that this is quite difficult for Pioli's squad to achieve.

On the other hand, rossoneri must at least be able to finish in the top three of the standings and continue their struggle in the European League, perhaps that is more realistic for them at this time. After losing to PSG, milan was again faced with a heavyweight match against napoli in the continuation of the Serie A match. This was a tough week for Giroud and his friends, and i think pioli must find the right formula to improve his squad performance soon.

[GbitG]

Barcelona failed to reach the last 16 in the last two seasons, so this is the perfect season to expect them to return to the last 16. The match will be even more difficult in the knockout round, especially if both teams are strong teams from their respective groups.

Yes, obviously, he has lost his concentration in the UEFA Champions League competition since the last two seasons. Barcelona has continuously set the standard for qualifying for the UEFA Champions League with a 17-year streak, but previously they ended their 17-year streak by not qualifying in the round of 16. But this time, Barcelona can be expected to maintain their performance in the Uefa Champions League. Barcelona may see weakness in team tactics due to injuries, but if the team learns to survive in big matches without relying on crucial players, then it can be expected that Barcelona will do something better in the UEFA Champions League compilation. I hope to get it done. And if Barcelona doesn't find a way without relying on injured players, these injuries can be a loss for them in big matches.

Haaland is definitely a big game player. He may score more goals when going up against no so tough teams than really tough ones. Isn’t that to be expected playing against a stronger and experienced opponent? You think he’s a flop but I bet Man City thinks otherwise and he wouldn’t have been brought in if he was indeed a flop.
He’s a good player and he always strives to score goals which are vital for a win in any game. He can’t help it if his goal scoring abilities are noticed. I’m curious on what you would have him do so everything wouldn’t seemingly be centered on him.

I feel PSG and Newcastle will probably qualify, it is possible that Dortmund could take over the position. It's still very difficult who deserves it.

I am not agreed about this even few teams are underperforming in early matches but still all four teams in this competition for the qualifying into next round because AC Milan is having two home matches and suddenly Newcastle United is having trouble into their offense which is not good sign for their next two away matches which are against PSG and Dortmund even I am still feeling AC Milan done poor work in early matches, but they are capable of fighting back in big matches.

PSG is now on right track and Dortmund and Newcastle United are doing good for their chances into knock out round but still next match AC Milan vs PSG and Dortmund vs Newcastle United will be give better view how things will be gone because if we have no improvement from AC Milan then surely things could be gone into worst for them, and we will have PSG with better team in next round I am cheering for the Newcastle United.

[redsun114]

Feyenoord was the profitable team after the matches played in Group E. After beating Lazio at home, the hosts took the lead after three games. Atletico Madrid's 2-2 draw away to Celtic worked in their favor and they took the lead from Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid struggled to turn the game around in the second half after trailing at half-time. Even though they played better than Celtic and had more scoring chances, they couldn't capitalize on them well enough to score the winning goal.

Feyenoord's performance is really impressive in this season even still they are having chance of slipping, but things are going impressive for them specially after win against Lazio at home they are having good chance and confidence as well for jumping into next round, but next away game will be decider with who is going for the second round and here Atlético Madrid is surely going to stay at the top but for the second team we have to wait until last game.

Atlético Madrid were surely not well organized in second half which bring them down against team like Celtic but still they have done much better performance after conceding early goal and then having red card in last few minutes because Celtic try their best for the having full points, but this was not easy which is good from the Atlético Madrid.

I hope to get it done. And if Barcelona doesn't find a way without relying on injured players, these injuries can be a loss for them in big matches.

I think, in this season it seems that Barcelona can also be assumed to be in a group that is not too strong, so Barcelona has a great chance of qualifying for the round of 16 this season. Even, at this moment Barcelona has a good chance of winning group H, because the other teams are not too strong like Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk and Antwerp. Unlike the previous two seasons, which can be assumed Barcelona was in a difficult group in the previous two seasons. So ya, Barcelona failed to qualify for the round of 16 in the previous two seasons but despite this, Barcelona also managed to finish third in the previous two seasons and Barcelona continued in the Europa League. But unfortunately, Barcelona still got bad results because Barcelona was easily eliminated there as well.

[borovichok]

Barcelona failed to reach the last 16 in the last two seasons, so this is the perfect season to expect them to return to the last 16. The match will be even more difficult in the knockout round, especially if both teams are strong teams from their respective groups.

Facts about Barcelona, they are not competent when it comes to elite competitions, always playing like some random average team but when it comes to La Liga, their performance is outstanding and incredible, they're ranked #1 favorites to lift the domestic league trophy. This is the exact ratings that Real Madrid utilized to outperformed the blaugrana. However this current UCL might turn out to be different for them. Barcelona made mistakes in the past, they looked forward to correcting them because Xavi Hernandez keen on improving his team's performance and setting a good reputation.

[Distraction]

I have seen some data focused on different areas for the teams in the Champions League. Galatasaray seem really ambitious from this data. The players are just very hungry for winning. We watched this determination in their last two matches also. Their opponents were the toughest ones in the group but they still showed an incredible performance. 

But the main problem with Galatasaray is finishing. Because they are the 2nd team with wasting most number of goal opportunities coming right behind Manchester City according to this data.

The manager Okan Buruk had better focus on improving the finishing more if they want to get positive results more.

[Gencecikmen]

Haaland 2 goals from him yesterday makes Manchester City can able to beat Young Boys. They have won all the matches in the three matches so far Group G in the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City are top of Group G in the UEFA Champions League. We know they won the Champions League last season that the biggest candidate to win this season.

[Furious 7]

Looking at the dominance of Manchester United not only in the Champions League but in domestic competitions as well they are still very lacking but as long as the results are positive for them I don't think I have a problem for this because in the end regardless of the dominance they get it will be very bad if in the end they lose and again so it is better for them to improve their finishing rather than relying on dominance.
Indeed it is also a good thing to do because as a form of excellence only when they try to dominate more it is their defense that will be at stake and this is risky for Manchester United so I only expect a win for them regardless of whether they can have dominance or not it doesn't really matter.

This Manchester United team is one team I cannot predict on,they find it so difficult to win matches,and even when they have won a match,defending that winning seem so hard for them
I don't know what Ten Hag is doing,but through out this season,I haven't seen any time that I can say Manchester United are  very sure of winning.It looks as if they are being able to grind out wins now because they are facing teams that lack winning spirit as well,if they should face any side that is very strong like Newcastle and Brighton or Aston Villa,they will definitely lose against those sides because they aren't playing the best of football.It is high time Ten Hag knows his first eleven,and use them in every match so he would be able to win matches on a weekly basis.

Their condition with the lack of consistency on every line, the high level of ego of the players such as Bruno or Rashford and internal problems, especially the injury of these players, clearly makes it difficult to predict for Manchester United but seeing the current condition they should have realized with a few matches that have been lost and should be able to fix it. Indeed, for now apart from Bayern for the second position in group A it is still difficult to predict who will qualify but this is actually a good thing for Manchester United because with this indirectly they still have the opportunity to compete in the Champions League.
