UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Docnaster]

I don't think the Barcelona squad is very strong. There are weaknesses in the Barcelona squad. Still, this squad has the ability to perform well against the big teams. Barcelona lost yesterday against Madrid. But there is no way to say that Barcelona's performance was too bad. Barcelona played well but luck was not with them. However, Xavi still needs to work on making the team more stable. If you want to win the Champions League title, you must come to take more consistency in Barcelona's performance. Without consistency of performance, it is not possible to do well in the Champions League. Xavi is a very hardworking coach. It is expected that Barcelona will do well in the Champions League this season.

Xavi Hernandez would encourage his new young players to suit up for the main squad, because it's time to elevate the team to the next level, no longer counting on the primary players, but rather sticking to future plans, which are the young players who are eager to start for the team, which might crumble currently, but they will definitely become stronger in games. I doubt Barcelona will reach a vital stage in the UEFA Champions League this season because they are woefully underperforming in La Liga but are yet to show any signs in UCL competition.

They are bad in La Liga? Are you not wrong to say that?
They're in 3rd place now and is that a bad thing? Sure, they may have lost a big game yesterday, but they can't say it was because they played badly, especially since it was a very draining game and they didn't have a ful squad.
I think they are much better now, although not as good as in their heyday, but if we compare with the previous season then we will see they are much better.
There is still hope for them in the Champions League, at least they can provide competition and not fall in the group stages.

Before yesterday's defeat in the hands and f league leaders Real Madrid, Barcelona were the only team in the Spanish top flight that was still unbeaten and I that's why I think it's totally out of proportion to think that they've been poor in the La Liga this season.
The truth is that the current Barcelona squad isn't strong enough to be considered as a serious contender for the UEFA Champions League title but for anyone to say they're currently performing bad I think is a disrespect for everything Xavi Hernandez has done with the team this season

[X-ray]

We can't judge Barcelona like this, we know Xavi is a great coach but we can't forget that Barcelona has many financial issues and this team couldn't buy the players Xavi needs to have. In fact, even if Xavi is the best coach in the world still he needs better players, I think that's why they lost the El Classico game recently against Real Madrid in La Liga.

Just let xavi to proves his capability in the UCL first. It is too early to call him as the best coach in the world. I think that if we have seen that he was always failed in bringing barcelona to the quarter or semifinal. I don't put a very big expectation toward him at this moment.
People shall need to let him try to give proof if he was able changing barcelona to be even better than before. Barcelona was always strong in la liga but it was weak in the UCL. Wnning the group stage does not guarantee barcelona to go to the further stage easily.
People are always calling him as the best coach in the world which doesn't even make sense. Xavi is nothing than average coach that was helping the club to win the domestic competition.
The coach like ancellotti which can be called as the best coach as he had been winning so many trophies in various competitions. It's too early to call xavi as a world class coach.

I doubt Barcelona will reach a vital stage in the UEFA Champions League this season because they are woefully underperforming in La Liga but are yet to show any signs in UCL competition.

I hope you do remember how Barcelona turned into flash in a twinkle of an eye during second leg in Laliga, and that was when Real Madrid start to skip wins in their matches. 4 points differences in a domestic league is too fresh to start to think they will not go far. However, the UEFA stage is excellent condition, having played 3 matches without with 3 wins is something to be happy about, I don't think they will have any problem here perhaps maybe after this point and if they are lucky the way the group stage was easy, it is going to be another inducement to further to Semi final.

Several teams that have consistently won in the last 3 Champions League matches are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona. I think these four teams will only need 2 more wins to maintain their chances of safely qualifying for the next round and I think it will be quite easy for them. For Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, perhaps they are in a quite difficult group because Manchester United and Napoli are predicted to disrupt their chances, but it seems that is no longer a problem. On the other hand, Manchester City and Barcelona are in a group filled mostly with weak teams and I think it will be easier for both of them to secure points in the next match without any problems.

Going further, Barcelona don't have any business in group stage, too real to further into group of 16, Real Madrid will go for sure even with Napoli because out of that 4 teams in their group stage, they are the only attested teams that will move out of the stage, the remaining two will go home, one to Europa while the other one will go home to rest and try again next year.

Watching Elclasico yesterday, it embossed my confidence in Real Madrid to win this season Champions League, we now have another Haaland of last year among us and that's like the only guy that is pumping Real Madrid to win this league this season, even Haaland of Manchester City doesn't comes close to what he is doing right now.

[hahay]

I think it's still too early to predict anything about Barcelona. , they have to improve a lot of their shortcomings to be able to perform even better.

Barcelona fans and their hierarchy have to be very patient with Xavi, they cannot win the CL this season, and i don't think it is going to happen anytime soon, last season Xavi managed to win the LaLiga, but they were eliminated from the CL in the group stage. There is progress this season, because they have won 3 out of 3 in their group and they are almost certain to qualify, but how far can they go? I don't think it is possible for Barcelona to go past the QF stage of the CL this season, they were used to being contenders of the CL every season, but not anymore and their fans have to live with it.

You've said your own opinion on how the season will be for Barcelona. The board members and management are not applying pressure on Xavi Hernandez. Yes, he is a Barcelona legend and they give time to them legends just like they did with Koeman.
Barcelona has whatever it takes to win the Champions League, they have experienced players that have won the Champions League final.

They could go on winning the next three fixtures in the group, that I double doubt because of Porto who are right behind them.  Players like, IIkay Gundogan, Robert Lewandoski, Marcos Alonso and lastly, Christensen has experience. They have the players and depth to win too.

Barcelona success this season to win the group, because basically Barcelona is in a group that was not strong. Obviously, this factor is different from the previous two seasons, where Barcelona were in a strong group inthe previous two seasons in the Champions League. Therefore, it is natural if at this moment Barcelona will certainly qualify for the round of 16. But despite this, Barcelona does not have a good chance of advancing further, maybe Barcelona can still qualify for the quarter finals. But it looks like Barcelona still no chance of qualifying for the semifinals because, even though Barcelona has a great squad. But in fact, it is still difficult for Barcelona to win in every match and of course, this factor means that Barcelona still needs time to have a better performance in all matches and in all competitions.

And that's why I'm questioning what's the reason for saying Barcelona are doing badly in La Liga, the fact is they're now top of the table with good points too.
In the Champions League they're top of the table with perfect points and given that I'm optimistic they'll go through to the next round. But on the other hand I agree with you that the competition in the Champions League is very tight, and for now I also think the squad they have is not strong enough when compared to other clubs here. and the problem is when they have to lose players due to injury, it will add to their problems.

For the last five weeks in the La Liga I can say that Barcelona have lost some pace. Because they lost 7 points in these games. The last one hit them even harder as they lost in the El Clasico. Everything is fine for Barcelona in the Champions League for now. They are in a very comfortable group to finish as the leader.

However I think Xavi should focus on bringing better results in the La Liga by their upcoming games. The point gap with the leader there isn't big but they need to keep a consistent form not to experience the same thing Real Madrid did last season.

Real Madrid can easily pull away from them after some point otherwise.

Honestly they are big enough that nobody is shocked that they will be doing better and going further. It is not about if they will do good for the rest of the group stages, it is more about who they will face at the next stage and the stage after that. Let's realize that these teams are not going to all face different clubs all the time, they are going to eventually face each other, even year there is at least one team that faces another strong opponent at last sixteen and obviously at quarter finals at least one more matchup like that too.

So, it is clear that we are not going to end up with anything that would be all that shocking, we should be looking into this like it is going to end up with a bad result for at least one of the teams.

I doubt Barcelona will reach a vital stage in the UEFA Champions League this season because they are woefully underperforming in La Liga but are yet to show any signs in UCL competition.

I think you misunderstood, it is true that Barcelona now has several young Lama Sia players who are quite competent. Some of them predicted that their careers would become one of the great players. Like Lamine Yamal, this youngest player at the age of 16 has proven his talent and potential. The difference is that even though they are currently joining the main squad, their role will not be as important as that of the more stable and established players. It is hoped that these young talents will become the next Barcelona in the next few years. so, they are a projection of Barcelona's future.

Well, you know, Xavi will still rely on his main players. both in the Champions League and La Liga. Barcelona's performance in local competitions has declined due to the absence of several key players, so Xavi has no choice but to rely on several of their young players to fill the void left by several injured players. So far, Barcelona has progressed quite well.
Even though they lost in the El Clasico match, this was due to the fact that Barca did not play with a full squad. especially De Jong, who is the key in the midfield. Up to this point, I'm sure you understand quite well.
btw, next January, Deco will bring in Victor Roque. So, Barcelona's young players will increase. However, this Brazilian player seems to be more likely to replace Lewandowski. You can be sure that Barca will be ready after January.

For the Champions League, in the three matches they played, they won smoothly. Xavi just needs to keep his team consistent, so that they qualify as winners of Group H. Well, Barcelona still has a long way to go in this competition, especially in La Liga.

Barcelona's performance in La Liga is not as bad as it is said, you definitely know that Barcelona has only suffered 1 defeat in 10 matches even though they are 4 points away from the current leaders. Xavi has a great chance of taking his team to the round of 16 after getting a relatively weak draw group, but everything cannot be guaranteed because the 3 teams they are playing against cannot be underestimated.

Barcelona has won 3/6 group stage matches, especially the first 3 matches. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City are 3 other teams that also have the same record, but on paper Barcelona is a team that tends to be weaker than the 3 teams above, but Barcelona is still a competitive team.

Too much has been said, I think Barcelona lost the first El Classico game last season and went on winning the Spanish League last season, they are not so far from Real Madrid and Girona.
Immediately injured players returns, Barcelona will definitely go back to winning ways.
They can still.go ahead to defend the league ( La Liga ) but not the Champions League, they can be seen as a threat with lots of potentials.

I agree with you man, The La Liga would be easier to retrieve, there's no difference from the squad that won last season and this season, maybe they was more determined last season.

[Weawant]

Real Madrid is really exhibiting some good level of brilliance with their performance since this week, they won their champions league game and back at their domestic league the won a strong team going from a goal down to winning the match, they are beginning to show an unmatching strength with most of the teams in the UCL this season, I think they have successfully sent across a message with their win against Barcelona.

Most teams in the UCL will now understand better that Real Madrid isn't here for a joke because if they can win a team as Barcelona in their domestic league, definitely other teams who do not match in strength are definitely not safe from Real Madrid if they eventually meet in the UCL. It wouldn't be too surprising if I see Real Madrid at the UCL finals this season Because they are in a good for and with a performance that could aswell take them there.

[ndutndut]

In the Champions League Barcelona has quite the advantage over the teams that are not that strong in group H, but in La Liga Barcelona is still able to be beaten by its true rivals like yesterday at home so it is appropriate for Barcelona to use young players in their squad without more reliance on aging main players. I also think that in the Champions League this season Barcelona will not run smoothly because there are many strong teams that will be obstacles for him, but in La Liga Barcelona still has the opportunity to make improvements in order to advance to first place this season.

Barcelona in UCL does not have a significant burden because it could be said that group H does not contain strong teams. They can easily qualify from the group phase, but in the future I think Barcelona will have difficulty making progress because Barcelona has many injured players and several players need to restore their rhythm, Barcelona cannot perform much better even in a difficult situation for the squad.

In La Liga, maybe it depends on Real Madrid's consistency. If Real Madrid cannot maintain its consistency then Barcelona has the opportunity to compete for the league championship. We know that in La Liga these two teams will definitely be chasing each other to get points, it's true that La Liga is still long but the habit looks like it will continue.

[baeva]

Barcelona seem to be very lucky been grouped with Porto, Sharkhtar and Antwerp because clearly they are dominating in the group winning all three first legs and leading with nine points with Porto following behind with 6 points. It doesn’t look like Barcelona will lose even a game in this group, their future in the UCL this season looks very promising.

Even if they lose I don't think it will change anything in general, they can relax in some of the difficult periods and not really care about the group stage match. That doesn't sound like a good idea, but I don't know what will happen by then. The other question is what stage can they get to? Maybe they will fall out already in 1/8, what then?

To be honest, Barcelona does not have a strong enough squad to win the Champions League title. But the players in their squad are hardworking. Their coach Xavi is quite experienced. And Xavi's match strategy is also quite good. This is why the team has been able to maintain consistency in the Champions League. Moreover, the other teams in Barcelona's group are quite weak compared to Barcelona.

Barcelona will secure the round of 16 from the top of the table. And I don't think Barcelona will have too much trouble securing the quarter-finals. However, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to qualify for the semi-finals. Because every team that qualified for the quarter finals will be very strong. Barcelona are the most likely to be eliminated from the quarter-finals.

Well, we don't know what teams will be at this stage yet, so it's hard to say, maybe there will be a relatively weak team there, and maybe the same will be true for the semi-finals? We can't say for sure yet, it just seems to me that it will be difficult for them throughout the remaining matches. Of course, they are hardly a contender to win the Champions League

I think Barcelona are just lucky to be in a less competitive group, facing no threats from teams, rather they keep their high voltage in every match they play in UCL but for La Liga matches, it's definitely going to be a tough struggles for them, losing yesterday in El Clasico against Real Madrid. Barcelona will qualify in their group H because there's no entertaining actions from their opposition. I'm scared Barcelona will not do well this season, having absolutely nothing to offer but due to injured players in the main team. Xavi Hernandez will create path for his team because he's keen on achieving good points on the table.

So far I also can't see that Barcelona raises their game and is then able to compete with teams like Manchester City or Real Madrid in the next rounds. I am not sure yet how Bayern will do, but I think that Barcelona would probably lose against them as well. It is not easy to analyze their game and their weaknesses, but something is missing. I still think that betting on Lewandowksi was a mistake. He is still good enough to score difficult goals, but they need these goals on a weekly basis like Haaland is doing it for Manchester City or Bellingham for Real Madrid and now Kane for Bayern. It is going to be tough against any of these teams and these problems can already be seen in La Liga.

I do agree with you. The different thing when barcelona will be competing with some strong clubs like manchester city or bayern. I think that we will be seeing how good barcelona when it will be facing strong club. People are being overreacted with barcelona caused by it was only winning in the easy group like that. It must be noted that if the performance from barcelona may be going down so hard after this. Barcelona is not that good with so many young players.
The club is still lack of quality compared with some clubs that have so many great players like bayern or manchester city. Barcelona may perform so poorly when it will be facing great club.

[Texac]

Several teams that have consistently won in the last 3 Champions League matches are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona. I think these four teams will only need 2 more wins to maintain their chances of safely qualifying for the next round and I think it will be quite easy for them.

On the other hand, Manchester City and Barcelona are in a group filled mostly with weak teams and I think it will be easier for both of them to secure points in the next match without any problems.

Even some of them only need 1 more win to ensure themselves will qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League this season. They swept all their matches with a win and even the victories they got had no significant obstacles.
I know it's too early to say this, but I'm pretty sure the 4 teams you mentioned will be in the round of 16. I also know anything can happen in football, but looking at the opponents they will face, at least 2 wins is realistic for them.

Meanwhile, the competition in group F is still very tight with a very tight point difference from the 4 teams that are joined there.

Group F is certainly the most interesting in this Champions League group stage match. Almost all of them actually have the potential to qualify. Milan is showing good performance in the Ligue 1 they are not performing well in the Champions League competition. Who knows, maybe they will be able to improve their performance in the Champions League, it is really uncertain which teams are actually going to qualify. The only team that I am confident about qualifying is actually PSG and trust me I really hate saying this.

Don't assume like that just yet because in Group H which is considered to be Barcelona the strongest team can actually still be matched with Porto which is team from the Portuguese League and Porto cannot be taken lightly.
Just look at their previous match they were only able to give Barcelona 1 - 0 win and in that match Barcelona looked quite difficult to penetrate Porto defense.
In addition as you have said Barcelona has several players who are injured which will affect the quality of their play in the UCL.

In La Liga, maybe it depends on Real Madrid's consistency. If Real Madrid cannot maintain its consistency then Barcelona has the opportunity to compete for the league championship. We know that in La Liga these two teams will definitely be chasing each other to get points, it's true that La Liga is still long but the habit looks like it will continue.

For La Liga itself, I still believe that Real Madrid is superior and it can be proven from their match that Real Madrid is able to beat Barcelona.
For the UCL it also looks like it will be the same where when these two teams qualify for the next round Real Madrid will still be superior to Barcelona.

No one doubts Barcelona potential to get through the group phase as group winners, Barcelona quality is better than the other teams in their group. A number of Barcelona mainstay players injuries have had a big impact on their performance, Xavi had to use young players in several matches because his team was experiencing a player crisis due to being in the treatment room.

Barcelona is not yet fully able to compete with other clubs. The defeat that Barcelona just experienced in El Clasico indicates that Barcelona is still unable to maintain its momentum when it is ahead.
UCL which always presents big matches, will make it difficult for Barcelona when facing clubs such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City. There are still several tasks that Xavi must complete to make Barcelona able to compete with other favorite teams.

The only team that I am confident about qualifying is actually PSG and trust me I really hate saying this.

there is a slight mistake in your writing that Milan is not in League 1 but in Series A.

the best candidate might mostly say PSG because currently PSG is leading group F but if you always watch UCL matches when group F competes you will definitely say Newcastle or Dortmund are also still worthy of qualifying from this round because almost all the teams in group F have performance which is pretty good except Milan are without a win since the preliminary round started. you can also see how PSG was completely beaten by Newcastle but after that Newcastle was beaten by Dortmund after that Dortmund was beaten by PSG, very interesting? yes, of course, because it is too early to determine who will qualify from Group F because there are still several matches remaining while these three teams are still a very competitive competition.
