UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Richbased]

Barcelona is appearing more of a defensive side on this second half of the game, as they fail to be able to create chances but rather having a more tough defense against Shakhtar Donetsk probably because they will still qualify anyways, so a loss in this match wouldn't cause much harm.

Shakhtar Donetsk aswell seem to have a good defense but are playing an offensive attack as their confidence seem to be high as they are already leading by a goal so they are trying to defend their goal and at same time see if they could possibly secure another goal, Shakhtar Donetsk may possibly stand a chance to qualify if they happen to win against Barcelona tonight, as they will be up by three point thereby making them have Nine points, they will be three points ahead of Porto to stay at the second position on the table.

This is the reason why I love football as unpredictable things are prone to happen, who would have believed that Barcelona will be struggling in this match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Shakhtar Donetsk were able to maintain the lead all the way from first half and at last they secured three points in this match. It's really an awesome performance by Shakhtar Donetsk tonight and they defended their goal very well and from the look of things they might possibly qualify if FC Porto loses their matches though it isn't certain as FC porto is also devoted to qualifying for the round of 16. Nothing frustrate a stronger team than their opponent defense being unable to be penetrated after they've taken a lead.

Early Kickoff games have disappointed!!!

Borussia Dortmund beat Newcastle home and away with Newcastle failing to find the back of the net in both fixtures which shows experience in these games matters alot.

Elsewhere, Shakhtar Donetsk who are far from home played from a neutral ground in Germany hamburg because of the war, but this performance they brought today was beyond them!! Who limits Barcelona to one shot on target when they have over 60% ball possession, it's unexplainable and Barcelona have themselves to blame and 12 player here didn't play a role either   Congrats Shakhtar, that was a brave fight!!!

The irony of football is just too much, it's just unimaginable that it was the same Newcastle that thrashed PSG that Borussia Dortmund is winning home and away, Football is it's just a beautiful game.
Almiron effort to force the attack alone without the presence of isak at the front line was all proving abortive. Dortmund was the better side, so they really deserve the win.

[GiftedMAN]

The first games were very interesting, but of course Shakhtar managed to surprise... I don't know what happened to Barcelona, but somehow it was strange that they had so few corners... I didn't see the game because I was watching Dortmund, who rightly won... But I didn't recognise Barca's statistics...

I think the game between Dortmund and Newcastle was the only interesting game but on seeing the game between Shakhtar and Barcelona  I was surprised to see Barcelona not just being defeated but also perform poorly in their game. The Dortmund and Newcastle game was a good fight even though the home team played better and won but the Newcastle team fought a good fight but looking at the game between Shakhter and Barcelona, I was disappointed with the performance of Barcelona because they played like a team that came unprepared, they managed to get just one shot on target from first half till the final minutes while the home team made more good goal attempt and got rewarded with a goal that gave them the victory.

There's nothing too serious about the performance of Barcelona tonight except that they had more possession of the ball as usual and they had more number of corner kick but they ended up losing from away and not getting a good performance because they had no opportunity to make reasonable attempt that would have resulted to goals, Barcelona game tonight didn't look like a champions league match tonight to be honest.

During 1st game Dortmund beat Newcastle with 1 goal and today which is the 2nd game they won Newcastle with 2 goals. Dortmund is now at the top of their group followed by PSG. We can now attest to the fact that PSG and Dortmund will be the team to qualify in group F. However I don't want to conclude because PSG vs Millan id currently active who knows if Millian might win PSG and come up second in the group. There is a saying it's not over untill it's over. Let's see how it ends 

[puloweh555]

Barcelona had difficulty creating opportunities because Shakhtar's defense was very tight. Barcelona tried long balls, but that didn't work for them either. This kind of defensive strategy often makes things difficult for Barcelona, ​​especially when the opponent is 1 goal ahead.

It's true that in this match, Barca really had difficulty penetrating the opponent's penalty box, it was even difficult to score a goal, and they even got very few opportunities because Shakhtar's defense was so strong and solid. What's great about this match is that even though Shakhtar played more defensively, they were quite dangerous when building counter-attacks so they created several opportunities, although many of them failed to take advantage of the opportunities, but this was quite troublesome for Barca. Until finally in the 40th minute Danylo managed to score a goal after receiving Giorgi's cross with a header.

I'm not sure Barcelona lost this match because however they could have pressed better and forced Sakhtar's defenders to make mistakes. Barcelona must avoid defeat and maintain their best form, but to be honest this is a difficult match and makes the players feel frustrated. There's still time and I'm sure the equalizer will come soon.

Honestly, I still didn't think that Barca would ultimately lose this match with a score of 1-0, and their defeat destroyed my bet.

[ajanwalker]

I was going to bet on Shaktar to win the match between Shaktar Donetsk and Barcelona today, but I didn't play because I was afraid of Barcelona, ​​but Shaktar made the surprise of the night. Shakhtar won the match 1-0. I bet on Dortmund in both of my bets, one on Dortmund win and the other on 0:1 Handicap, both came true. The coupon is still valid.

[Dzwaafu11]

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.

For sure, it seems that the game will be somehow difficult for one of these teams, as we all think this game will be somehow tough for both of them. However, PSG are playing away, which will give them the morale to do everything in their power to succeed in the game.
Currently, the game has already started, and the game is not even tough as we have been preaching all day. Right now, the game is going as I was thinking because PSG is already leading with one goal in less than 10 minutes. I don’t know if PSG will continue like this; I believe they will win because AC Milan didn’t look impressive to me, so let’s wait and see how this game will end today. We still see whether the other ones that PSG won against AC Milan were lucky or is because they are better than them.

They actually lost the game and not in the next round today, so they have to win the next game. Who has bet on Donezk, I would like to know the odds. The first leg a few weeks ago was a close 2-1 win for Barcelona, that was also strange. On November 28th Barca can win at home against Porto and then they are sure to win the group. So losing the game today is not a disaster.

I think this will be a holiday match for Barcelona when they play against Shakhtar and indeed Shakhtar's lead with 1 goal could possibly last until the match is over if they keep their defense close. Barcelona really struggled and even though they had many opportunities, they failed to convert them into goals. Pedri also came on as a substitute in the 59th minute but it seems that after recovering from injury he still hasn't found his best performance. It is clear that this will be a loss for Barcelona if they lose and they fail to increase their points tally as the top of Group H. On the other hand, they will be more easily overtaken by Porto if today Porto can win decisively against Antwerp considering the goal difference is only 2.

OK, I have to admit that Barcelona lost this match. They have tried their best and this is a really tough match. No one expected Barcelona to lose to Shakhtar, but this happened because they played well in defense and were also able to take advantage of their good opportunities. Barcelona failed to create many chances due to their tight defence, but I certainly wonder why the referee didn't want to review the ball that touched his hand in the penalty area and just missed it even though Yamal reacted to it.

I don't believe some of the assumptions that Barcelona underestimated Shakhtar today, but Barcelona were restless throughout the match and looked more under pressure despite dominating. Yes, this is a defeat that must be accepted, but it will not affect anything about Barcelona's chances of reaching the round of 16.

Barcelona doesn't need this match, which is why they play like that, because if they were serious about that match, they would have won it, but Shakhtar needs today's match because they want to qualify to the round of 16 now they have 6 points if they face Porto they must win the match if they want to qualify but I am very confident Porto will defeat Antwerp and they will get 9 points they will have the opportunity to qualify but if Shakhtar can try and win them then Barcelona will defeat them because Barcelona are playing in camp nuo they won't try to lose at home.

Barcelona has already qualified for the round of 16 because they will not try to lose the match now because all of their players have already been there and they will play a great game but Xavi will not force some of his players because they have a tough match ahead of them because after playing against Porto they will face Athletico Madrid in the La Liga and Xavi will not make mistakes that will cause some of his players to go injury again.

Let's see how it ends  

Dortmund is very much in a good fo and has been that good since the beginning of this season and has really been brilliant with their performance, even in the bundesliga where they play as their domestic league, obviously their recent defeat couldn't slow them down.

Their performance so far in the UCL has really been  awesome and deserving of all the wins, they are not a weak team in the bundesliga and aswell I'm the UCL and I'm so sure they are obviously making it pass the group stage. PSG happens to be another team in their group that will most likely make it pass the group stage, Newcastle isn't a bad team but I think aren't really good with the UCL this season but aren't doing any bad at the premier league.

So losing the game today is not a disaster.

I know this isn't a disaster for Barcelona, ​​but a defeat like this can have an impact on player morale. Lewandowski looked unhappy with the lack of balls he received, but I think this was not the players' fault but rather that Barcelona did not have a solution to reach his position which was tightly closed by the opponent's defense.

Barcelona's defeat today has given Shakhtar the opportunity to hope to progress to the round of 16. Shakhtar have collected 6 points and that will make them even more motivated to get better results in the next match. Barcelona only needs 1 win to ensure they qualify for the round of 16, maybe they can get it against Porto or Antwerp.

I agree with you that Barcelona's defeat today wouldn't change anything for them to qualify to the round of 16 as they decided to play on a low key to save their performance for a better match that is worth winning. Looking at it from the other side, their opponent had a good defend that Barcelona found it difficult to penetrate.

I will say the game was planned that they shouldn't pit much pressure and winning force on the match to save the players from unwanted injury since this is not a match of win or die. The next match is what Barcelona will take serious and I believe that they will win that match. Sakhtar was lucky that they met Barcelona on a time that they were not after winning the match and they also got full three points.

ATM VS Celtic

Daizen Maeda has been sent off following his challenge on the ATM player Mario Hermoso, the game is not going to be an easy one for Celtic because they are down with one goal already and one of their player has also been sent off. I think ATM will utilize the opportunity to get an easy win because looking at their performance they have been dominating the game and they have had more scoring opportunity than Celtic so I think they will get up to 2 or 3 goals before the end of the game.

What's your take on this game do you think Celtic can withstand the pressure been mounted on them by ATM.

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.

We still see whether the other ones that PSG won against AC Milan were lucky or is because they are better than them.

The both teams are playing well currently and I seeing the game as a tough match, which I can't say which team will win the way the match is going on.but it may possible the game should end in draw because if any team score they are high probability that the opponent will equalize because the both teams are give good attacking. It is ac Milan home game and with that I never think ac Milan will take it easy with psg  despite I know psg is the stronger team, but let see what will happen at the end of the game because first half is about to end.

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.

But it was a game that with a bit more luck for Newcastle could also have turned against them. But they stayed cool headed and the second goal was really superb. Bridging the whole pitch with that cross ball in the perfect moment was not easy. He also delayed that pass for a moment such that his teammates could take their positions in the offensive line. I also liked how the Dortmund striker made his decision to not pass the ball but instead go for it himself. If he fails, he knows that everybody will complain but he looked confident enough to take it and it was the right decision.

                         Milan Vs PSG
Milan so far have been able to respond positively after the initial attack launched against them by PSG with that first goal,  PSG where literally on fire for the first 25 minutes of the game, kylian mbappe forcing the attack aggressively. But in the middle of the game, Milan have been able to find their footing after that goal from Rafael Leo making the game 1-1 before the end of the first half.

We still see whether the other ones that PSG won against AC Milan were lucky or is because they are better than them.

Rafeal Leao has equalized the goal with a super rebound, three minutes after Skriniar, who was a former Inter player  scored with a flying header. Leao has balanced the game and both teams are playing very hard to make sure that one of them take the lead in the first half. Dembele lost a good opportunity that he would have use to net the post but the ball hit the post bar. First half is over and I believe that in the second half we will see the best from these two clubs as one of them must win the match,
Milan 1-1 PSG

[GxSTxV]

The both teams are playing well currently and I seeing the game as a tough match, which I can't say which team will win the way the match is going on.but it may possible the game should end in draw because if any team score they are high probability that the opponent will equalize because the both teams are give good attacking. It is ac Milan home game and with that I never think ac Milan will take it easy with psg  despite I know psg is the stronger team, but let see what will happen at the end of the game because first half is about to end.

To be honest, It was the most entertaining match between all of the others tonight. What impressed me and out of the game is the supporters' tifo of Ac Milan that was a response to the first leg match for PSG fans. The first half was good in all sides from fans to goals and game play.
Ac Milan played well today and they had more chances after the draw, which was a good boost for them to give their best for anothr goal. They didn't succeed in first half with many close chances, if PSG don't do something in their defensive lines they will lose the match.

Is anyone here betting from now, I mean odds of the second half?

[Furious 7]

Their performance so far in the UCL has really been  awesome and deserving of all the wins, they are not a weak team in the bundesliga and aswell I'm the UCL and I'm so sure they are obviously making it pass the group stage. PSG happens to be another team in their group that will most likely make it pass the group stage, Newcastle isn't a bad team but I think aren't really good with the UCL this season but aren't doing any bad at the premier league.

This match is quite worth watching because after all, the competition in Group F Champions League is always interesting to wait for how surprises always occur in every match that is run.
Both teams actually had a good match and indeed both were quite balanced in this match because after all, by looking at what happened, both Newcastle and Dortmund had almost equal abilities, it was just that Dortmund was better in the final finishing in this match.
The 2-0 score is the closing and keeps the competition still open for the 4 big teams in group F now.
PSG are still on top but now they are still playing a draw against Milan. If in the end they can win in this match then indeed this can be something very good only if that happens then this will be a problem for Milan because surely they have to bury the desire to be in the Champions League at the same time this is also a little difficult for Newcastle who still has hopes of qualifying from the group phase in its inaugural season this time.
