UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Falconer]

-snip-

IMO, group A is still very interesting to follow. on the fourth matchday, Manchester United will play an away match at home to Copenhagen. Based on betting odds, United is favored by bookies. Plus, Ten Hag has two new ammunition who are scheduled to recover from their injuries, namely, Casemiro and Bissaka are scheduled to return on November 5. and several players such as Malacia, Luke Shaw, are scheduled to have recovered before the match against Galatasaray in the second leg. Well, if United's players fully recover from their injuries. Teh Hag has many options for him to play with. Or, he will play the most ideal line-up in his opinion. which means United still has a chance to qualify for the Group A phase, and this is interesting, isn't it.

I know, that is the best opportunity for Manchester United to win maximum points. There are only two matches they are most likely to win in the remaining group stage matches, namely against Copenhagen and also Galatasaray. I believe Manchester United can win it instead of letting Galatasaray progress to the round of 16 by beating Manchester United in the second leg, that's possible but I think differently.

I still believe Manchester United can qualify for the round of 16 this season even though so far they have only collected 3 points from 3 matches. Ten Hag must maximize his players' abilities in the next 3 matches and take advantage of every easy match to win 3 points. The next 2 wins would certainly be enough to get them qualify.

Manchester united and Galatasaray will compete for the second spot in group A table. Bayern Munich have accumulated the desirable number of points and they will easily pass qualify for the next phase. Where we have problem is Manchester United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen, which of these teams will make it to the second spot. It's not going to be easy game that will be play, because these three mention clubs are very competitive towards each other. But I strongly believe United will follow the footsteps of Bayern Munich and qualify, they have good chances.

The only blocking block in the fight for the second position for Manchester United is Galatasaray. They showed a better football skill and gameplay than Manchester United in the first leg. If Manchester United will still play against them in the second leg with the same performance as the first leg, they will only lose the game and reduce their chances of making it to the knockout phase of the competition. Everything is not getting clearer, Bayern Munich will finish first, Manchester United and Galatasaray will share the second and third spots, while Copenhagen will finish at the buttom of the group stage table.

Qualifying for the round of 16 is actually not important for a team that is not in good form, as is currently experienced by Manchester United. Because of course, even if for example Manchester United qualify for the last 16, in reality Manchester United will fall there. Therefore, I think qualifying for the round of 16 for Manchester United at this moment is not very important and ya, even if for example Manchester United fails to qualify for the round of 16, of course Manchester United will continue to the Europa League. For me it's not bad at all because after all, this is Erik ten Hag second season at Manchester United, but his first season in the Champions League with Manchester United and that's not something bad at all.

No team will wish to settle for less when they have the capability or some hope in them to qualify for the next round. Just to play in that round is better for them and will increase their rankings in general with the other incentives that comes with it. There shouldn’t be anything like managing a team first time playing in a competition, your strategy and tactics employed in this competition will determine how far you can go with your team and I know a good coach will excel in that regard. Just like Eric Ten Hag, he hasn’t shown much commitment to lead his team to the next round of the competition, I also doubt their qualification at this stage.

[nurilham]

I think Manchester united isn't in their best form currently, but however the most important thing in football is to keep pushing irrespective of the loses being recorded as some things qualifying for the next round can also boost the players morale and confidence so Manchester united should just give their best if it works out for them fine if it doesn't work out too the move on.

Man United is difficult to predict, they played inconsistently. Although they are not in a good shape, it doesn't mean they can't qualify for the next round. They actually still have a chance to qualify, they have many quality players. If they can improve their performance, it is not impossible that they will finish the group stage in the 2nd place. Moreover, the point gap between Man United and Galatasaray is only 1 point. If Man United can beat Copenhagen and Galatasaray in the next 2 matches, Man United probably overtakes Galatasaray position in 2nd place. Then, Man United must try to steal point from Bayern Munich in the last match. The match will be in Old Trafford, I think they can try to get a draw result.

I wouldn't say United are playing inconsistently. For example, now they are losing the second match in a row with a score of 0-3. Quite consistent  The problem is that, after all, Copenhagen and Galatasaray are either equal to United or weaker, so in these pairs there can really be any result. As for the final game in the group stage, I don’t think that Bayern will play weaker than usual - they are disciplined and they have a tradition of winning all the games in the group stage, regardless of the significance of the tournament.

[Leviathan.007]

Manchester United won the match against Copenhagen I would say by mistake. Their performance was not good. Manchester United's performance was poor in this match as well. Manchester United would not have won this match if Copenhagen player Jordan Lorsson had not missed the penalty.

Mamchester United have been very far from their best, but all they needed in that game was a win, irrespective of how 'ugly' the win was, United are having a very poor run in both the EPL and CL and that has affected their confidence so much. Erik Ten Hag knows that elimination from the group stage of the CL would be a disaster and so United has to win at least two out of their remaining three matches, they have to beat Copenhagen in their next game and the decider could be their clash with Galatasaray, they are in a very difficult group and they could possibly be eliminated.

I don't think if Eric Ten Hag really thinks about the Champions League and he even knows himself that the Manchester United we see right now is far from a team to play in the great matches in the Champions League. In fact, Manchester United should just focus on the Premier League and try to take a better place in the table to save a ticket for the next Champions League in which they can have more chance.

[Zoomic]

Even though Manchester United is experiencing a difficult situation at this moment but still, because Manchester United and Galatasaray can still compete to finish in second place because they only have a one point gap at this moment. So yes, for me, with these factors, at least Manchester United still has a chance of qualifying for the round of 16 with the status of runner up in the group. Anyway, I personally cannot underestimate Manchester United at this moment, because basically they have better quality than Galatasaray, and Manchester United should be able to rise to qualify for the round of 16 as well.

This to me is not all about quality. As I am typing this post, I am In the front of my television watching the EFL Carabao cuo where Newcastle United is punishing Manchester United and has scored 3 goals and Manchester United unable to score even one. I am no more confident of Manchester United that they will be able to win Galatasary.
Yes, Manchester United may have a better squad but they have lost their confidence. Good squad without confidence is nothing. This night they have crashed out of the Carabo cup, conceeding 3 goals from Newcastle. This is happening after they also lost to Manchester city by 3 goals also.
A whole lot of thing is wrong with Manchester United and I think they do not deserve the champions League slot. Europa League is better chance for them and lot champions League.

This has been their worst start to the season. This caused Ten Hag's chair to start shaking. Ten Hag currently receives a season salary of 11 million USD under a contract that expires in June 2025. In fact, he is giving severe punishments to the entire team. I think it will have the opposite effect. He is putting too much pressure on his students. They need a comfortable spirit to fight. Manchester United has many good players. We have seen them explode when they are in a good mood. A typical example is Harry Maguire, who was once a scapegoat at the club. Now, with lighter shoulders, Maguire has shown that he is gradually regaining his form.
The bottom line is that Ten Hag must take responsibility for why the club cannot promote its strengths. Ten Hag should reflect on himself instead of punishing his students.

Bayern Munich have accumulated the desirable number of points and they will easily pass qualify for the next phase. Where we have problem is Manchester United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen, which of these teams will make it to the second spot. It's not going to be easy game that will be play, because these three mention clubs are very competitive towards each other. But I strongly believe United will follow the footsteps of Bayern Munich and qualify, they have good chances.

Bayern Munich only need 1 more win which will make them qualify for the round of 16 with the status of group winners. And for Manchester united and Galatasaray they will fight in the second leg to win second place. Manchester united still has the opportunity to shift Galatasaray ranking if they are able to beat Galatasaray in the upcoming match.

In the upcoming match, Manchester united can maximize their chances of winning at home to Copenhagen to shift Galatasaray ranking. However, if Galatasaray is able to get points in the next match, it is likely that they will continue to compete until the last match of the group phase. In my opinion, this second leg match will be difficult for Manchester united because Galatasaray will fight as best as possible in the remaining 3 matches.

[TelolettOm]

The two teams will face each other in the final match in the UCL group phase and we can guess from now on who will win the match.
Bayern Munich will be the winner and top in group A, while Manchester United will be eliminated from the UCL because only two teams will qualify for group A, namely Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

Yes, the match Man United vs Bayern Munich will be the final match in UCL group stage. I think it is too early to guess which team to win the match. But if we consider the squad quality, Bayern Munich is clear better than Man United. However, sometimes we see a surprise in UCL matches, so it is not impossible for Man United to steal points. I still assume Man United can get a draw in the final match of group stage and they can finish as a runner up.

There is no hope for Manchester United so Ten Hag must be able to accept what they will experience this season.

You can say this after the group stage matches are over. For now, everything is still possible. Ten Hag must try to lead Man United to qualify for the next stage.

[JoyMarsha]

Sure, no need qualifying for round of 16 when they can't even make any difference so the best is just give it up and go to the Europa league and try if there can be any improvement.

I think Manchester united isn't in their best form currently, but however the most important thing in football is to keep pushing irrespective of the loses being recorded as some things qualifying for the next round can also boost the players morale and confidence so Manchester united should just give their best if it works out for them fine if it doesn't work out too the move on.

Manchester United isn't even doing well in the Europa League. They suffered a three-goal home loss to Newcastle. This is so bad that Manchester United has turned into a mediocre team, that both the coach and the players are at a loss as to how to perform well enough to win meaningful or important games.
It seems as though every Manchester United player decides to put in less of an effort during games in order to fulfill the goal of getting Ten Hag fired by Manchester United management. I wonder why Manchester United will be acting and embarrassing themselves in games if this isn't the case.

Manchester United won the match against Copenhagen I would say by mistake. Their performance was not good. Manchester United's performance was poor in this match as well. Manchester United would not have won this match if Copenhagen player Jordan Lorsson had not missed the penalty.

Therefore, I think qualifying for the round of 16 for Manchester United at this moment is not very important and ya, even if for example Manchester United fails to qualify for the round of 16, of course Manchester United will continue to the Europa League. For me it's not bad at all because after all, this is Erik ten Hag second season at Manchester United, but his first season in the Champions League with Manchester United and that's not something bad at all.

Good or bad the performance from the club matters a lot. It's not only about the competition from the team but being qualified for the further round in the UCL will help the club in getting much more money. Money is the main why many clubs are targeting the UCL spot at this moment. It's not wise by calling it if a bad performance club shall not thing being qualified to the next round as an important thing. I don't even agree with this. The money raised from winning more match in UCL will be also helping the club so much in earning as much money as possible.
That's why many clubs are competing for the UCL competition. The club can earn a few millions from playing any games in the UCL. I think that you shall also consider it from the financial factor as well.
Im not doubting why club was putting UCL spot like win a trophy. I think that mostly of teams were aiming for money and trophy not only to get trophy from this competition.

[Litzki1990]

The key match on Group A is without a doubt the match that will take place between Manchester United and Galatasaray at November 29, as any team that gets that win will become the runner up of that group and make it to the next round, however the match Manchester United will hold against Copenhagen is very important too, as if they can win and Galatasaray losses or draws with Bayern Munich this will allow them to snatch away the second position from the group before their key match, an eventuality which could put additional pressure over Galatasaray and make them to perform poorly under so much pressure.

This will be a fierce competition in group A and in my opinion Galatasaray will have a slight advantage because the crucial match against Manchester United will be played at Galatasaray's home ground so they have a big chance of winning, although it will still be fierce and Manchester United cannot be underestimated.
Manchester United's performance is currently in a very bad state, so many people doubt that they can qualify from the group phase.
And against Capenhagen it will also be difficult for Man United, the match will be played at home to Copenhagen and when the first leg was played at Old Trafford, the Man United team won by a narrow score and the match was also very fierce.

There is no chance to underestimate the Manchester United team. They are undoubtedly stronger than Galatasaray. However, Manchester United's performance this season is very weak. Not only are they performing poorly in the Champions League, the team's performance in the Premier League is even worse. Manchester United failed to win against Galatasaray at home. They have lost two out of three matches. They got a narrow 1-0 win against Copenhagen in the last match. I don't think Manchester United will win against Galatasaray with such a poor performance. Galatasaray's players will be confident in the home match. I will say the match will be a draw or Galatasaray will win. I don't consider Manchester United as favourites.

Manchester United is a good team but they are not in good form right now. If you search for Manchester United in the English Premier League, you will find Manchester United fail in the English Premier League, if you search for Manchester United in the Champions League, you will find Manchester United fail in the Champions League. It is natural to lower expectations of a team that fails in every area. Galatasaray Manchester United is a strong enough team but I can't give any guarantee for Manchester United that Manchester United will do well against Galatasaray. Galatasaray is one of the best teams in the Turkish league, so you can be sure that Manchester United's match against them will not be easy at all.

If you search for Manchester United in the English Premier League, you will find Manchester United fail in the English Premier League, if you search for Manchester United in the Champions League, you will find Manchester United fail in the Champions League.

They are a big club with massive success in the past, long in the past. Since the retirement of Sir. Alex Ferguson on 8 May 2013, they did not win many titles and their quality has been decreased a lot. They have good players but I disagree with you because they are no longer a good team. A good team have to play well to get good positions in their domestic league and are competitive enough in Champions League. Manchester United don't have that not only in this season but in previous seasons.

Lowering expectations is not a good way to improve quality of a team. They must have ambitious plan and train hard, work hard, play seriously to achieve ambitious targets. It can not be achieved after one match, one season but if they can maintain it, after some seasons, they will achieve big things by considerable improvements like Arsenal with Arteta in the last three seasons and Manchester City with Pep Guardiola in the last six seasons or Liverpool with their rebuild plan with Klopp years ago.

PSG has a much better chance of winning the group and Newcastle must fight to get points above Dortmund if they want to progress to the next round. PSG have collected six points while Dortmund and Newcastle have collected the same four points. PSG will face AC Milan at home and Newcastle will visit Dortmund's headquarters. If you look at the opportunities in this group, PSG and Dortmund are in a slightly more advantageous position compared to Newcastle and AC Milan.

I have a slightly different opinion from yours. I believe that PSG and Newcastle will be the next two teams to advance. The upcoming head-to-head match between them and Dortmund can be considered the deciding game for the second spot. It would add more drama if PSG loses to Milan, and Newcastle and Dortmund draw. In such a scenario, the group's excitement will persist until the final matches.

When facing a team like Bayern Munich, which consistently maintains a strong performance, the chances of winning are very slim if Man United's performance continues in this manner.

After that disappointing loss to Manchester City, my confidence in Manchester United and Ten Hag took a serious hit. I can't even think about them facing Bayern, dealing with Copenhagen is already a considerable challenge for Manchester United.

since the bad situation that Man United experienced, most fans and some people have found it more difficult to believe that Man United will be able to compete with Galatasaray, even though they dont look very strong, Galatasaray is able to put very strong pressure on Man United and there may be a little confusion here who has the right to qualify, but I would not expect Man United to qualify, but I just want to see MU maximize its performance to be able to compete competitively in UCL matches.

moreover, currently, for me, MU has started to improve little in the EPL, its just that their consistency still a little weak and we should still give Ten Hag the opportunity to give a better effort than this.

The chance for united to pass the group stage of UCL is still there. I meant im not being too pessimistic about manchester united. We have seen the latest result against newcastle if MU was losing in this game but im sure that the different result when it comes to the UCL.
MU was luckily having bayern as the only strongest team in the group while galatasaray and copenhagen must be rated in the same level as manchester united. It means if united has chance to pass the group stage.

As long as manchester united can win the two matches against copenhagen and galatasaray and i think MU can do that. The main problem if the matches against galatasaray and bayern will become a very hard game for MU

Everything could still happen because there are several more matches yet to be played, Manchester United is very obsessed with getting through to the knockout rounds to continue their work in the UCL. The last match played by Manchester United ended in a crushing defeat, even though it was only limited to the EFL Cup competition, Manchester United players had not found unity in achieving a perfect final result.
I am worried that this condition will continue in the UCL, especially since Galatasaray will also try to win a ticket to enter the knock out round. Manchester United's chances depend on Galatasaray's performance in the remaining matches, but in general Galatasaray will try to take advantage of the home match to beat Manchester United.

[Gaza13]

I am not too sure that MU will be ranked 2nd in group A with 3 more matches left for a total of 6 matches, Mu suffered another defeat with Newcastle 0-3, I am much more confident that Galatasaray will enter the next top 16. Even though next week they will face quite tough opponents, at least they will provide resistance in the match. I have high hopes that they will end in a draw in the match, so that the point difference is maintained.

Galatasaray's players will be confident in the home match. I will say the match will be a draw or Galatasaray will win. I don't consider Manchester United as favourites.

Galatasaray is one of the best teams in the Turkish league, so you can be sure that Manchester United's match against them will not be easy at all.

One of the best teams in the Super Lig is Galatasaray. And this season also the performance of this team is very good. Galatasaray is still unbeaten in the Super Lig. They have consistently performed well. The performance of Galatasaray's players in the away match against Manchester United in the Champions League match is absolutely commendable. They played very well. And in the form Manchester United are in right now, Galatasaray's overall performance is much better than United's. There is only one way to put Manchester United ahead, and that is that United are very experienced on the Champions League platform. But if the players do not perform well, if the bonding between the players is not good, the experience is of no use.

[Despairo]

I am not too sure that MU will be ranked 2nd in group A with 3 more matches left for a total of 6 matches, Mu suffered another defeat with Newcastle 0-3, I am much more confident that Galatasaray will enter the next top 16. Even though next week they will face quite tough opponents, at least they will provide resistance in the match. I have high hopes that they will end in a draw in the match, so that the point difference is maintained.

The highest that they can achieve is third position because they're still struggle against Galatasaray and Copenhagen.

Next week Manchester United will match against Copenhagen again, Copenhagen should revenge back their previous lose.

I doubt Galatasaray can hold the match until draw, Bayern Munich have a good defend and attack, Neuer also recovered from his injury.
