UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[marcous]

-snip-

Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona have won three out of three in the CL group stage, but they haven't qualified yet, they still need at least one more win to go through, and they prolly have to pick up at least another three points after that in order to finish in first position, which is very important to do.

You are right, but don't forget Bayern Munich who in fact have also won 3 matches so far. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City only need 1 more win to ensure they qualify for the round of 16, but two of the 4 teams mentioned will decide it today.

Manchester City play Young Boys in a moment, while Barcelona have an away game against Shakhtar in a moment. Barcelona and Manchester City have the best chances of winning, so I don't think either will fail to seal their ticket today. Barcelona has a good record against Shakhtar in the Champions League, while Manchester City looks like it needs to improve its poor record against the Swiss side in European games including the Champions League.

The other teams you mentioned above still have a lot of work to do, PSG is on six points, whilst Dortmund and Newcastle are second and third respectively in that group, and they are both on four points, it is far from over in that group.

Dortmund vs Newcastle is the most interesting match in the near future instead of Shakhtar vs Barcelona. Newcastle must win to increase their chances of qualifying for the last 16, but Dortmund, playing at home, is unlikely to lose easily. Dortmund won the away game against Newcastle, so today they will have to be good enough to repeat the same thing for any chance of qualifying for the last 16 too.

Bayern Munchen, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man City are top of their respective groups, meaning that the four clubs can be guaranteed to qualify even though they are not group winners. The groups they are in are very balanced, two top teams and two non-seeded teams, I think the picture is as simple as that. If it's not an exaggeration, it could be said that the four clubs are guaranteed to qualify for the round of 16, whatever the scenario, they can secure one slot.

We definitely understand that Group F is a difficult group, because it is filled with clubs that have more or less the same strength, except for the depth of their squad, PSG is very dominant in this regard. It is proven that the points table does not provide room for one of the teams to become the seed, and they share the fate by having the same chance of qualifying. Maybe matchday 4 will be the decision.

Overall, the results of the 4th matchday will form a standings with a point gap, and we can clearly see the clubs that have the most potential to qualify from this group phase. It looks like there will be many surprises, because this is the round of determining fate.

[Belarge]

I’m looking forward to the games tonight, as usual Group F takes centre stage. Dortmund vs Newcastle and AC Milan vs PSG the most exciting games.

We’re getting to the business end of the group stage now. Every point is precious to teams trying to advance to the last 16.

UCL Group F is important to know the details. This is what I'm talking about, Borrusia Dortmund have grown to become elite and balance team against Newcastle United. All points accumulated matters for Dortmund and this night is there's to record an epic victory. Watching the game, Borrusia Dortmund are on a different level tonight, dominating every area of the pitch and leading 1 nil in 30th minutes of first half. I don't think the Magpies will be able to level the scores this first halve, enough crucial actions are trigger by Dortmund. Edin Terzic is keen on utilizing every opportunity he earn to push his team to significant positions.

Dortmund vs Newcastle is the most interesting match in the near future instead of Shakhtar vs Barcelona.

Dortmund won the away game against Newcastle, so today they will have to be good enough to repeat the same thing for any chance of qualifying for the last 16 too.

Yeah i feel same as well, I think Barcelona would win Shakhtar Donetsk, they might try to act very tough and pressure Barcelona a little at the early stages of the game but it's not going to take very long until Barcelona start dominating and create good chances to win just like they did in their previous meeting but with  a different score line.

 However Dortmund vs Newcastle would be more tough and it's hard for me to decide the winner cause both clubs really need to win and boost their chances of qualifying for the next round the both share same points though their position on the table is different, in their last match, Dortmund won Newcastle at their home ground how they'll be playing Newcastle at home but Newcastle is in a very good form currently they won Arsenal in their EPL match, but Dortmund got embarrassed by Bayern Munich in their league match and I hope it doesn't affect their performance.

Comparing the match between Shakhtar Donetsk vs Barcelona, and the match between Dortmund vs Newcastle, it is clear that the Dortmund vs Newcastle match is more interesting. Because after all, Dortmund and Newcastle at least have qualities that are not much different at this moment, so with that factor at least Dortmund vs Newcastle match will be more difficult to predict. It's different from the Shakhtar Donetsk against Barcelona match, because they have different qualities. So ya, even though this match Barcelona playing away but still, Barcelona is still the favorite to win this match. But anyway, their match has now started and in fact, Dortmund managed to score a goal in the 26th minute, and up to now Dortmund is still leading with a score of 1-0. Meanwhile for Barcelona, up to 38 minutes it is still a draw and the score is still 0-0 so far.

It really unfortunate for Newcastle united as Eddie Howe's boys are hit with injury woes. Newcastle have been is a very consistent form in the premier league this season so far and as they look forward to retaliate a 1:0 defeat at the home ground in St James park by Dortmund but its quite unfortunate that key players like Sven Botman, Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, Elliot Anderson and Jacob Murphy are all out due to injuries.

 The most unkindest growth is the current injury of Newcastle defender Dan burn who suffered a spinal injury in the match against Arsenal which they won 1:0 in there favor. Though Eddie Howe is optimistic that they will win Dortmund but it only takes miracle to achieve a win in this match. Any let's see how the match goes as they've already kicked off and Dortmund is leading by 1:0 so far with the goal coming from  Niclas Fuellkrug who scored in the 26th minutes.

[ShowOff]

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Barcelona.

Even though this match is not very interesting, still as a Barcelona fan I am always waiting for positive results for them to bring home to Camp Nou.  Based on the group ranking, Barcelona is in a safe zone in this group H phase. Barcelona has collected 9 points from the 3 matches they have collected. in this match, they just need to make sure they run smoothly and remain in a safe situation. just one goal without reply was enough for Barcelona.
referring to the prediction sources I collected, the Barcelona players have recovered from their injuries, leaving only De Jong and Sergio Roberto. Also, in this match Barcelona will again play Raphina, Lewan and Torres.  and it looks like Felix will only be a supersub player. or vice versa, for the line-up nothing has changed, maybe Alonso has the potential to become the main starter.
Let's see what pattern and system Xavi will apply in the match against Donetsk.

Meanwhile, the home team had no choice but to fight back and play offensively. However, if Shakhtar Donetsk uses this pattern, it will be very vulnerable to being broken into by Barcelona players. but we'll see, because Shakhtar Donetsk can provide resistance when they visit Camp Nou. with a score of 2-1. Even though they lost, Donetsk were able to break into Barcelona's goal.

Pedri, Raphinha and Lewandowski can play, while only Pedri is not playing as a starter. Barcelona doesn't have any problems regarding players, but this match is quite difficult because Shakhtar seems to tend to play more defensively. I watched the game, Barcelona dominated but their gameplay wasn't that great so far.

Barcelona has plans to maintain its best form without defeat in the Champions League group stages, but Shakhtar does not appear to be beaten as easily as it did throughout the first half. So far there has been nothing dangerous about Barcelona's chances, but Barcelona must be careful with Shakhtar's counter-attacks which tend to be dangerous.

[$crypto$]

Chelsea had three points after the game yesterday, it was a really tough one for the spurs to play without two of their team mates, it was really a sad one to deal with as they were humiliated at home by the blue's, they actually did put up a good performance.

If not for the red cards I don't think the blues would have had their way around the Spurs to win with such goal margin. The spurs were actually brilliant with their performance yesterday regardless of their red cards, they even came out attacking so we'll during the first half second half and the blue's obviously had to be at their best to win, the spurs weren't demoralizing by the cards as thy still did their beat but had two of their goals cancelled, even the blues had one of theirs cancelled aswell. It was an interesting game tho.

You're talking in the wrong thread, perhaps in a rush to post. Lol

Chelsea and Tottenham are not in Champion league or European league competition, they are now only enjoying domestic league and other trophies are not here mate.

[Distraction]

What is happening to Newcastle for real? It is like they aren't even on the pitch. Because they have been like a ghost against Dortmund for the whole first half. This helped Dortmund to get advantage by 1-0 also. Fullkrug hasn't been scoring for a few weeks until this match. But I wonder how the second half will be.

I hope to see Newcastle waking up from the dream they have been in. They lost to Dortmund home before with this score. I don't want to see a weak Newcastle here.

Back then at least they were able to fought back. If they collect themselves in the second half we can see a couple of goals too which would make this match more watchable.

This is massive for Dortmund and devastating for Newcastle if Dortmund wins it. I am not sure what Dortmund would be hoping for for the game between PSG and AC Milan then, but if PSG wins it that would give Dortmund a 4 points advantage over Newcastle and a 5 points advantage over AC Milan. I think this would be good game for them and the group stage is 80% or it'll get really wild on the last matchdays. 

[Altryist]

Dortmund and Newcastle will meet again in the second leg, this time the match will take place at Dortmund headquarters. The first meeting held at Newcastle headquarters ended in Dortmund favor, this victory reopened Dortmund hopes of finishing in second place. This match is very decisive for both teams, Dortmund, who acts as host, will play optimally to dominate Newcastle.

Dortmund started this match in a less than happy mood because they had just been humiliated by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, while Newcastle were high in confidence after successfully beating one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. PSG, Dortmund, Newcastle and AC Milan still have a chance of qualifying for the round of 16, they have to beat each other to survive in the UCL.

It is quite possible that the match with Newcastle was a priority for Dortmund and therefore less effort was directed towards the match with Bayern. After the first half, Dortmund wins 1:0, apparently this is not an easy opponent for Newcastle, and by the way, Newcastle plays differently away, and Dortmund looks much better at home.

It’s quite unexpected to see that Shakhtar beat Barcelona after the first half and the statistics are also quite unexpected: Barcelona only have 2 shots in Shakhtar’s turns, is this an underestimation of the opponent?

[Weawant]

Barcelona is loosing to Shakhtar Donetsk as the first half of the game just ended, it's really surprising to me because I would think Barcelona is really a good team when comparing their performance in the La Liga so I didn't expect they will be loosing to shakhtar.

I hope Barcelona gets a come back by the second half of the game because they are actually playing well and leading with possession of the ball, but shakhtar has more attempts. Barcelona is already leading their group by nine points, if they win this match, they will be leading by twelve points and solidify their qualification for the next round but reagedles I think Barcelona will still qualify anyways.

We’re getting to the business end of the group stage now. Every point is precious to teams trying to advance to the last 16.

This group is the strongest and most competitive in the champion league group stage this year. Dortmund will play Newcastle, while AC Milan and PSG will rematch. Dortmund defeated Newcastle in their first group stage meeting, and they are currently leading 1-0 at the half. Dortmund wants to win the champion league this season and they don't want to make a mistake by not moving on to the next round. Newcastle is a formidable team that can also try to win this season, so let's wait and see who wins. As for PSG and AC Milan, I believe that Ac Milan will be able to defeat PSG because PSG will be visiting Ac Milan.

Ac Milan is also very strong when it comes to playing at home. I just hope PSG plays well today; if not, they won't like how Ac Milan beats them there. PSG defeated Ac Milan 3-0 in their opening game. I believe this is because PSG has the advantage of playing at home, and today will show whether or not PSG is capable of defeating Ac Milan at home.

[Wiwo]

In the dead group in the Champions League, the second leg is going to face PSG vs. AC Milan. AC Milan lost 3-0 at PSG in the first leg. AC Milan must win today's match to survive in the group stage. Milan have completed three matches in the group stage and they have not seen a win in a single one. Milan is in 4th place in the points table and Paris Saint-Germain is in 1st place. Can Milan win and can they take home advantage in today's match? Although PSG do not have much of an advantage in the enemy field, Milan are likely to win 2-1. Milan can score first. Mbappe has a chance to score a goal. This match is unlikely to be more than three. Anything is possible in football, it remains to be seen if Milan can come back against PSG in today's match.

Group F have very dangerous arrangements and I wonder why it was so and important matches coming up. PSG vs AC Milan is going to be one hell of game  and a very difficult one to predict. Because even from the odds you will know. AC Milan given 2.9 odd and PSG given 2.3 odd and draw 3.6 odd and I have a feeling of either PSG winning or they draw the game. Both of them are strong, the first leg is the one given me feeling that they might end draw. The chances of Milan winning is small and PSG won't don't joke with any of their games, Mbappe will score to just love that boy. And another game is Dortmund vs Newcastle smiling at this game too i just love this group the games are full of entertainment.

The match is going to favour AC Milan more than PSG and that for sure will show how the AC Milan team are prepared to take PSG to a whole new level,  even with many surprises in the game so let's see how the 90 minutes will play out and to see if the AC Milan guys really will create a record for themselves in tonight game.

Sometimes,  I don't follow the odds but then I will wait for the matches to start to bet on live matches so that I can have a better chance in the game.

UCL Group F is important to know the details. This is what I'm talking about, Borrusia Dortmund have grown to become elite and balance team against Newcastle United.

I don't think the Magpies will be able to level the scores this first halve, enough crucial actions are trigger by Dortmund. Edin Terzic is keen on utilizing every opportunity he earn to push his team to significant positions.

It's a matter of experience and I believe borussia Dortmund is well experience team when it's comes to playing in the champions league and no matter how good a team is , when the experience is lacking, your opponent can use that as an advantage over you because the will always be one step ahead and I believe thats why Newcastle are finding it really difficult to overcome this Dortmund team.

Newcastle losing creates a big opportunity for Milan if they can beat PSG in 2 hours.

Meanwhile Barca losing. 

[Sexylizzy2813]

This is massive for Dortmund and devastating for Newcastle if Dortmund wins it. I am not sure what Dortmund would be hoping for for the game between PSG and AC Milan then, but if PSG wins it that would give Dortmund a 4 points advantage over Newcastle and a 5 points advantage over AC Milan. I think this would be good game for them and the group stage is 80% or it'll get really wild on the last matchdays. 

Dortmund look sharp and refreshed despite the fact that they lost to Bayern Munich, but this game is one important game for both the home team (Dortmund) and Newcastle. The away team look weak and very slow like they don't know what's at stake. Newcastle need to wake up from the victory they got from Arsenal, this is business time and they have to wake up and make something happen in the second half or else they're losing this game.
I just hope they get an early goal to level the game up and I see this game ending in a draw.

Barcelona is already leading their group by nine points, if they win this match, they will be leading by twelve points and solidify their qualification for the next round but reagedles I think Barcelona will still qualify anyways.

In fact, just leading in ball possession does not guarantee win. Because, even though in the first half Barcelona had better ball possession, but in reality Barcelona didn't have any shots on target at all. Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk had 2 shots on target in the first half and thus, it seemed natural that in the first half Shakhtar Donetsk managed to lead with a score of 1-0. But ya, there is still the second half and Barcelona can still score a goal back too and maybe, Barcelona still has a chance to win in this match too. Because, if for example Barcelona fails to win this match, then Barcelona still has to do better to ensure they win Group H and that's not easy.

I fear the way Dortmund is playing even to the extent that Newcastle defense was bridged by Dortmund,  the way Dortmund is making paass, and coordinating their game and even the way they scored their first goal i was surprised it was a super goal, and Newcastle is still receiving pressure from Dortmund am still expecting more goals and one thing that surprises me is how Dortmund discards all Newcastles attempts to score, I see the strategy that Newcastle is trying to use they are shoot the ball from a far distance. I don't see Newcastle waking up from this dream. With the way this game is going Newcastle can not win Dortmund.

I just hope they get an early goal to level the game up and I see this game ending in a draw.

In fact, there is no connection between domestic matches and the Champions League because the two competitions are different and also different opponents, while defeat in the Bundesliga does not affect Dortmund's performance and in the past they managed to beat Newcastle and I am sure that in this match, as the host, Dortmund will also be able to beat Newcastle. and seeing that Dortmund's defense in the second half was tighter and I hope the score will be 1-0 until the end of the match.

Edin Terzic is keen on utilizing every opportunity he earn to push his team to significant positions.

Newcastle has one defeat in the last 12 matches in all tournaments. The club has played many matches in which they beat difficult opponents, including Manchester City and Arsenal. So Newcastle have found their game. But Borussia is more experienced, besides they have already beaten Newcastle in the Champions League recently. From the statistics we know that in the last 10 matches Dortmund won 6 times, 3 times played in a draw and once lost.

Bookmakers consider Borussia Dortmund as the favorite, but I can not determine the winner in this pair, so I think in this match will be a draw.

The second half is better than the first half since they are making an effort to be in the game, unlike the first half, where they are all lost. Is it because they are playing away from home today? I think this is revenge for Arsenal  

Dortmund is showing Newcastle United that they are an experienced team in the Champions League and will not afford losing matches against them that are just coming to the Champions League, and with the way this match is going, I think Dortmund will beat Newcastle United in this match again to make it a home and away defeat. If Newcastle lose this match, they have almost lost their chance of qualifying for the next round, and if they did not take their time, Milan will make an effort to try qualifying for the Europa League by finishing third.
