UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[hahay]

Without realizing it, our conversation about group A is a very intense one, and for now it trumps our conversation about group F, which is considered a group of hell in the Champions League this season. I think it's because Manchester United are in this group which has an erratic performance from every match they play.
Apart from that, they are also a big club that has experienced great success in the Champions League, especially when they were still managed by Sir Alex Ferguson. It seems that we also miss their promising play.

Even though Group F is the hell group, but at the same time their performance in the local league is also not completely consistent. Perhaps, this factor also made them inconsistent in this group phase. Apart from that, the teams in group F do not have a good history in the Champions League, except for Milan. Because yes, only Milan in this group which has a good history in the Champions League but at this moment too, at least Milan doesn't have a definite guarantee of being able to dominate group F . Therefore, maybe because of this factor it is also what makes this hellish group a little forgotten, although I think it remains become an interesting group because their matches are difficult to predict.

If we are just speculating, the strongest candidate for us should be a club that has very reliable star players and is proud of everyone, such as Manchester City has Haaland, then Real Madrid has Bellingham and Bayern Munich has Harry Kane.
Even though Barcelona also has superior players like Lewandowski, for me it is not enough to just rely on 1 player like other big clubs which have full support from other reliable players so I have the same speculation as you that it seems like Barca will find it a little difficult to win the Champions League title this season this is because after losing Messi Barca will not be as strong as before.

Im of same opinion as yours as it regards Barcelona winning the champions league this season. they are doing well enough in their domestic league but I don't think the competition here in the UCL is such that they can really cooe with so well currently.

Barcelona aswell ha e got some other good players asides lewandoski, Felix is one player in Barcelona who is showing so much potential and the rotation tactics of their coach seem to be working well for them most times so we can't underestimate them but in the presence of very experienced teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester city I think they're at a disadvantage but then they would most likely go beyond the group stage and the next

[dezoel]

there is no other way than to accept Man United current ugliness, even though they failed in the UCL, there will be an opportunity in the european league and there, if Ten Hag fails again to get the title, he will definitely lose a lot of fans and on the one hand, competition in the european league will also be difficult because there are several other strong teams such as Liverpool and Leverkusen are very strong in the European league.

last hope to give Man United a chance when the transfer market opens again must be to get lots of players to improve Man United performance and if that effort still fails, it looks like we will have to say goodbye to Ten Hag who will be fired from Man United.

As of now, future of club like Manchester United is in dark because we have no consistency and things are going from bad to worse in last few weeks which are making things terrible for them now their chances for the next round are under threat, and they have to do their best if they want to keep their hopes alive into Champions League their last win against Copenhagen was not easy and lost at home against Galatasaray are also going to hurt them badly as well.

Hopefully while we will have next transferred window open few players will be departure, and they will be able to have few new as well even I have feeling they are currently having enough quality players but Ten Hag strategy and policies are surely hurting them badly, so he needs to check about this all for the better future.

Talking about favorite teams for winning Champion League actually Manchester City is the first number and allow by Real Madrid then Bayern Munich, for Barcelona I don't really optimistic for winning Champion League tittle.

Lewandowski is no longer the same as he was when he played in Bayern, age is taking its toll and just look at his numbers last year in La Liga - an astonishing result. A year has passed and I doubt that he has become stronger and not aged. Real doesn't have a top striker, so I personally now rate both City and Bayern higher than Real. But in general, surprises always happen in knockout games, so it’s far from certain that we will see these clubs play against each other again (I hope City will be knocked out earlier   ).

If the two teams that are now in first and second place in the standings (Inter Milan and Real Sociedad) collect 3 more points, then it will erase the hopes of Benfica. As for Salzburg, although they still have hope, but they still have to hope that one of Inter Milan or Real Sociedad loses in their last 3 matches and instead Salzburg must win all the remaining matches. With a scenario like that, it is something that is very difficult to realize, especially the two teams above will also always aim for good results in every match they do to ensure themselves that they will qualify from this group phase.

Both Benfica and Salzburg are only play in farmer league, that's why they can't compete against tough teams from other regions. It's different with Inter and Real Sociedad, they might be not the best in their own leagues, but they're used to fight against top teams every season.

Not to mention the good players in Benfica and Salzburg will join to other teams since they're more stronger or popular.

I agree and want to add few things which is mostly these teams are having quality players and after playing in this Champions League they are able to sell them on high prices which is their main business and Benfica recently having good profit from this as well with Salzburg is also in same level for this business, but they are not better from Benfica, but we still want improvement in quality of these leagues which can make things good.

Now from next season we are going to have Champions League with new system which could be more beneficial for the teams and different leagues most chances now Benfica will be dropped into Europa Cup and Salzburg could be having early exit from this league.

They can try to qualify for the Europa League, I think they can do it and moreover it's better for them than qualifying for the Champions League 1/8 and getting knocked out at that stage. In the Europa League they have more chances not only to win, but at least to reach the final. So I don't even hope that they will make the Champions League playoffs any more

[Raflesia]

As I said before, even though Bayern are strong candidates and favorites who will not have any obstacles in the group phase, but reflecting on the previous 2 seasons they always finished in the quarter-finals because they had to lose to several clubs even smaller than them, such as in the last 2 seasons Bayern had to lose to Villarreal which was unexpected and last season they had to lose to Manchester City.
This will clearly bring up a new condition where they will definitely have the same problem as before if their pot is not too good when the draw later.
This is also not a problem of performance because in the previous 2 seasons they still have Lewandowski and last season they lost to the defending champions but indeed this is proof that qualifying for the semi-finals is not easy to do so Bayern even though they are strong there is still no guarantee to qualify because surprises always happen in every season.

The biggest competitor for the Champions League title is currently Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. All of them have big chances to actually win the Champions League title. And I also believe that all three of them are going to be in the semifinals of the competition.

If we talk about Barcelona, I don't think they have any chance of winning the Champions League title, to be honest. I am not saying Barcelona is not a good team. They are better than a lot of teams, actually most teams in the world. But they are not Champions League material, to be honest.

I've also discussed this in some previous posts because looking at the current conditions I agree with you because Bayern, Madrid and Manchester City are big clubs but to talk about the semi-finals they have to go through several phases and it depends on their luck to be in the knock out phase draw.
We know that last season it was too one-sided when drawing in the knock out phase because some strong clubs had to compete even that before being in the semi-finals. for this season also does not rule out the same thing happening so to predict the semi-finals then I think it would be wise to see the results of the draw in the knock out phase later because it will be very difficult to do it now because we will not even know that it could be that one of them will meet in the last 16.

Barcelona are currently facing an easy club in the group stage but indeed with their current condition especially after their 2 bad records at the beginning of this season is a bit complicated for them but talking about the chance everything is still possible because as I said before, the drawing in the knock out phase will determine the situation of a club whether it will be beneficial or detrimental.

But in general, surprises always happen in knockout games, so it’s far from certain that we will see these clubs play against each other again (I hope City will be knocked out earlier   ).

I don't agree at all. You say Lewandowski had a good performance just when he was playing in Bayern Munich and after leaving Bayern Munich is not in the good form anymore in Barcelona which is completely wrong. Because I think Lewandowski had a good performance in Barcelona during last season and he was even the most effective player for Xavi and his team but we should not forget that Lewandowski is getting old and that's normal for any player to have a bad performance when he gets older.

Being aged was also slowly affecting his performance as well. People shall not always try to rely upon him. Even barcelona is looking for a young striker right now which has proven that if lewandowski was not as good as what it used to be.
Everything is changing right now and football becomes even tougher than before. Lewandowski is not that bad but he is no good too. His gameplay is so average compared with the last season when he was always able scoring in any match.
Barcelona was struggling to win the match against real sociedad and how can it win against the club like bayern or even real madrid? I can imagine if real madrid to have a great striker.
It will become a complete team right now. Barcelona is still far from being called as a strongest contender to win the UCL trophy. The preformance from this club is so bad in UCL compared with la liga.
Barcelona was only lucky enough to be placed in the easy group.

[TelolettOm]

If you look at the strength of the teams in Group A with 3 matches remaining. So United's chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very difficult. For example, let's say Muechen manages to beat United and Galatasaray, the points are still the same. Then United and Galatasaray managed to beat Coppenhagen. Finally, the deciding match is United vs Galatasaray. If Galatasaray wins or draws, they will qualify. On the other hand, United must use all their strength to win the match against Galatasaray. I think this is the option that comes to mind.

It may be difficult but it is not impossible, right? Actually, Man United has a good squad, they only can't optimize the ability of their players. Man United players also have no strong mentality, Ten Hag still can't improve the mentality of Man United players. But it doesn't mean Man United has no chance at all, I'm sure there is still a chance for them to finish as a runner up.

If we consider the squad quality, they can defeat Galatasaray and Copenhagen. And they can get a draw result against Bayern Munich in the final match of the group stage. In theory, this is possible to happen but it surely depends on how Man United players can handle the match. If they are ready 100% for the next matches, I believe it is very possible.

The quality of manchester united player this season is of course very good, like Rashford and other player, but their performance this season has declined drastically, like rashford. I think manchester united will have difficulty getting through to the round of 16 because Galatasaray already know show to beat them in this second leg.

Maybe I think Manchester united will be eliminated or go down to the european league this season and in fact they don't have a stronger mentality compared to other team such as newcastle united and Arsenal. Maybe the premier league representative team that was eliminated early could be Manchester united. Apart from that, If Erik fail to get manchester united through to the last 16, He could be fired.

I think progressing to the next round of the UEFA Champions competition will be very difficult for Manchester United and that's because of the number of points they were able to get after three group stage matches. United has only secured three points from a possible 9 points and even of they beat Copenhagen again in the midweek, I think it'll be Bayern Munich and Galatasaray who will qualify from the group. Galatasaray's last two games will be against Manchester United in their home ground before traveling to Copenhagen for final game if the group stage.

I guess the favorite will be Galatasaray!
They are now showing a truly beautiful game more than ever. No matter what, they go to the front. look at the game against Bayern. Didn't Galatasaray show skill! This is the same club that deserves the best. It has a perfect balance of defense and incredible attack! that's why they're doing so well! If I'm wrong, correct me!

Yes, you are right, in the match against Bayern Munich Galatasaray gave their resistance. even though it's only in the first half. for me it was very natural, because Bayern excelled in the early minutes. Like it or not, Okan Buruk instructed his squad to play more offensively and put pressure on the opposing team. What Galatasaray did in the first half was successful, by equalizing from the penalty box.
but in the second half, Tuchel came up with his real strategy and tactics. he proved that the two teams had different gaps.  proven, Bayern beat Galayasaray with a score of 1-3. In the second half, Bayern showed their true game.

Just look at the match statistics, Bayern are far superior both tactically, technically and in terms of player quality. Well, explain that in football there is always a part of tactics and plans carried out by the coach. However, it cannot be denied that Galatasaray played well in the first half. but that's normal, as I said above. Moreover, the match was played at Galatasaray headquarters.  but the final result, Bayern won the match.

Now let's forget for a moment about the Galatasaray vs Man United match in the second leg, after all, these two teams will play their match together on the fourth matchday of the group phase. The point is, can Galatasaray win the match when they visit the Allianz Arena. if so, their chances of qualifying for the next phase are wide open.
On the other hand, with United, if they win their match over their opponent. The Galatasaray vs United meeting will be the deciding match. So, to ensure that, let's wait for this match to take place.

Manchester United has 3 points right now and their next match is with Copenhagen. I am also wishing Manchester united to win the next match so they go above Galatasaray and that will be another great day for the club. It will be a show of life for the Manchester United to quickly go back to form even as second in the table standing so they can move to the next level of round of 16 with other big teams.

Perhaps, this factor also made them inconsistent in this group phase. Apart from that, the teams in group F do not have a good history in the Champions League, except for Milan.

Therefore, maybe because of this factor it is also what makes this hellish group a little forgotten, although I think it remains become an interesting group because their matches are difficult to predict.

Regarding all UEFA Champion League group stage seems Group F is most difficult group depend there are not any one teams have secure their position will lead to 16 round. Indeed PSG lead top standings awhile their position not secure yet exactly if loss on next match from Milan and Dortmund or Newcastle United take three points. In Group F have doubt opportunity with AC Milan will lead to knock out round, they have poor performance in Champion League after failure winning in last three matches. Last night defeated by Udinese and bad capital before facing PSG on matchday 4 of Champion  League group stage match.

Good history achievement in their participants on Champion League its not really important, did you see Milan who teams have winning more Champion League tittles in Group F but difficult to win last three matches.

Galatasaray's last two games will be against Manchester United in their home ground before traveling to Copenhagen for final game if the group stage.

Bayern Munich will make every supporters beliefs to be extremely serious games in games. Aggressive teams are completely prepared to take on their opponents, regardless of how important or difficult these games may turn out to be. UCL Group A is chock-full of outstanding performances from elite teams. These teams are not giving up and are willing to expend all of their energy on the field in order to maintain their current rankings. Manchester United's qualification for the next round is not a concern because all they need is consistency and player improvement to obtain good outcomes.

[Oluwa-btc]

Talking about favorite teams for winning Champion League actually Manchester City is the first number and allow by Real Madrid then Bayern Munich, for Barcelona I don't really optimistic for winning Champion League tittle.

If we are just speculating, the strongest candidate for us should be a club that has very reliable star players and is proud of everyone, such as Manchester City has Haaland, then Real Madrid has Bellingham and Bayern Munich has Harry Kane.
Even though Barcelona also has superior players like Lewandowski, for me it is not enough to just rely on 1 player like other big clubs which have full support from other reliable players so I have the same speculation as you that it seems like Barca will find it a little difficult to win the Champions League title this season this is because after losing Messi Barca will not be as strong as before.

For the Champions League ehh? I'm rooting for Real Madrid to win at the end of this seasons Champions League Campaign. They might not have a natural striker and  even Joselu present has not be solid.for them, for if he has he was, scoring ten to fifteen goals he would have scored.

A club with Pep Guardiola has the experience and the tactics, they can do anything, so Manchester City comes next in line for this Champions League. Bayern Munich has plans to make more significant signatures during the January Transfer Window. They will look very dangerous.
Barcelona Robert Lewandoski already back but not so fit, and these injuries have caused a big reduction to his form.

Manchester United has 3 points right now and their next match is with Copenhagen.

It will be a show of life for the Manchester United to quickly go back to form even as second in the table standing so they can move to the next level of round of 16 with other big teams.

if Man United is able to get another win, they can beat Copenhagen, of course they still have hope because Galatasaray will definitely lose points against Bayern Munich at home, it will be very difficult because Bayern Munich is too strong an opponent for Galatasaray, so Man United still has a chance to continue in the next round, but this time this match is at home to Copenhagen. are we sure Man United can win? or does it just end in a draw?
TBH, I doubt Man United can win and from my predictions after winning at home with 1 score the next match will end in a draw or Copenhagen wins and if that really happens Man United loses this team will be at the bottom of group A which will be very embarrassing.

my advice would be to be more careful betting on the Copenhagen vs Man United match.

Im of same opinion as yours as it regards Barcelona winning the champions league this season. they are doing well enough in their domestic league but I don't think the competition here in the UCL is such that they can really cooe with so well currently.

Barcelona aswell ha e got some other good players asides lewandoski, Felix is one player in Barcelona who is showing so much potential and the rotation tactics of their coach seem to be working well for them most times so we can't underestimate them but in the presence of very experienced teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester city I think they're at a disadvantage but then they would most likely go beyond the group stage and the next

I also agree about this. That Barcelona might have difficulty in the Champions League. But at least Barcelona this season seems to be able to qualify for a higher stage than last season when they were eliminated in the group stage.

But I personally don't really agree about Barcelona not having players as good as Haaland, Bellingham or Harry Kane. Because in my opinion the arrival of two players borrowed by Barcelona this season, namely Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, has actually really helped Barcelona become better at the moment. Even Lewandowski started to get better again after the arrival of Felix in the front row of the Barcelona squad. But if you have to compare then of course the squad that Real Madrid has is more convincing. But we must not forget last season. Well, last season, all the clubs that were favored from the start had to be eliminated early. And that only leaves Man City. So it doesn't rule out the possibility that this season there will be clubs that we don't expect to beat the favorite teams.

Manchester United's qualification for the next round is not a concern because all they need is consistency and player improvement to obtain good outcomes.

In fact, Manchester United has appeared inconsistent in the Champions League, the only victory thats Manchester United has achieved so far was against Copenhagen at Man United headquarters.
I think it is difficult for Manchester United to qualify for the group stage with condition like this, even though it is only 1 point different from Galatasaray, but to catch up with these points is quite difficult for Manchester United and unfortunately in the next match Man Utd will face Copenhagen and Galatasaray in away matches, of course we know that Manchester United away match is quite bad and at least Manchester United must be able to win that match if they want to qualify for the group stage.
If you face Bayern Munich, you can be sure that Man Utd will probably lose even though they are playing at home.
