UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Majestic-milf]

For me, Sevilla in the fourth match against Arsenal is no longer a match that they will seriously try to win. Sevilla's winning trend is not very good in the Champions League and in La Liga.

In football, and from what I've observed over time, it's the period you least expect a club to do better or do bad(better in Sevilla case) that's when you will see the unexpected. I'm not having any favorites in the game but I feel the Gunners have a chance at collecting the three points from Sevilla even with some of their players been injured because their(Sevilla )defense is not so strong and they are not as strong and indomitable as they were last season and this is something Arsenal will want to capitalize on.
 Another that weakens them is if they concede a goal first, in a bid to equalize, they leave their defense open to the opponents and have been often punished for it and I'm hoping the Gunners do same.

I love Real Madrid. REALLY good. Only he, in my opinion, deserves to be a champion both this year and all the time.
They just have an incredible balance between defense and attack. They show simply fantastic matches. Unbelievably good in possession of the ball.
Yes, they are not as good as before, but I believe and know that the legendary REAL will still return. Are there any like-minded people here like me?

Yes, I agree that Real Madrid is not the same as they were, but I still have faith in them and think they can win any trophy this season. Real Madrid is playing Braga today, and I think that if they put in more effort, they can win by two goals. Real Madrid defeated Braga in their first meeting, and I think they can win this one as well because they are playing at home, which will also give them the calmness to play a mature game. Real Madrid made a mistake by failing to defeat Rayo Vallenaco in the Liga at home, but this is the champion league, and as everyone knows, the best team in the champion league is Real Madrid.

Additionally, according to the reports I'm hearing, Jude Bellingham will not play in this match because he had an arm injury during Real Madrid's La Liga match against Rayo Vallenaco, however some have stated the injury is not that bad. Since Bellingham is a type of midfield player who likes to mark his opponents heavily, I honestly don't think the Real Madrid midfield position will make sense today without him. I also love players who like to attack because when they mark, even the other players perform better. I just hope Bellingham's injury isn't too serious to prevent him from playing today.

The door to the opportunity to qualify for Manchester United will be closed if Galatasaray can surprise the Allianz Arena public by beating Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich faced Galatasaray with favorable conditions because FC Hollywood earned 9 points in 3 matches. One more win means they are guaranteed to qualify from the group stage.

For Galatasaray, if they lose against Bayern Munich, they still have a chance to qualify because they still have to win in the next match against Manchester United at their proud Stadium in Turkiye.

To tell the truth I don't give much chance to Galatasaray in Allianz Arena. It was really impressive to watch them in Old Trafford before. They really deserved that win. However they played against a team with serious issues at the same time. Bayern Munich are like the opposite of Manchester United this season. They are really productive most of the time. I must admit that they can also be inconsistent sometimes. But for example that loss in the DFB Pokal match shouldn't be taken seriously.

The reason why is that Bayern Munich don't care about that cup. However you must have seen what they did to Dortmund in the Bundesliga previously.    Galatasaray have a really good squad and they play ambitiously. But this match would be really tough.

Napoli might be making life some how difficult for their opponent but they're really lacking so much in that team, with V. Osimhen not in action. They're not that sharp to me compare to what we all saw them (Napoli) display last season, it was so brilliant that we all thought they'd be the ones to play in the finals.
A win in this game would keep them at 9pt with Madrid who are yet to play later tonight and is really not going to be a game Madrid seems to be losing. Tonight's game is a must win for both Madrid and Napoli, I hope the Italian side get that comfortable win and wait for what happens next in Madrid game.

[SUPERSAIAN]

After today's results, the second place in Group A of the Champions League will become clearer. I don't think Galatasaray will have much of a chance in the Galatasaray - Bayern Munich match. They had that chance once, but they were complaining that it didn't happen.

Now, I think Bayern Munich will have no mercy on Galatasaray at home and will win four out of four in the group. The result of the Copenhagen - Manchester United match will determine the second team more clearly. If Copenhagen wins today, Galatasaray's chances of getting out of the group will increase considerably.

Salzburg vs Inter Milan is going to face off at the Bull Arena (Wals-Siezenheim) in the UEFA Champions League second leg. Salzburg lost 2-1 to Inter Milan two weeks ago. Salzburg tried to resist in that match.  Salzburg have won just one of their three home matches and drawn the other two. Salzburg is in third place with three points in this match of Group D. Inter Milan is very much energized after the win with Atalanta. With two wins and a draw from three matches, Real Sociedad are joint top of the points table with seven points. A win here could qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Inter Milan beat Salzburg 3-1 to secure the round of sixteen.

Dortmund certainly delivered a shocker last night as they defeated Newcastle United by two goals to nil. Many would have staked their bets on Newcastle United after they defeated Arsenal in the weekend but the opposite was the case. Milan also surprisingly defeated PSG I must confess I didn’t see that one coming, I really don’t know what to say about PSG right now.

Newcastle screwed lots of chances again. They failed to win the first game now they've repeated the same thing. I was expecting them both to share points but Newcastle couldn't come back into the match.
Facing Arsenal, that was a game they shouldn't have won if VAR and match officials had taken the clear decision.
For Borrussia Dortmund, they couldn't get a a win or share a point with Bayern Munich at home. With the goals conceded, I assumed Newcastle would get a win or draw but they failed.

PSG are not consistent, Luis Enrique still having difficulty with wins and lose. Milan fans angry over PSG goalkeeper for leaving some seasons ago for thr chase of money.

[Weawant]

Real socidad is really making things real difficult for benfica tonight, they had about three of their goals cancelled already els they would have been leading in an humiliating defeat already, the were able to leading in the first half of the game and dominated aswell.

Benfica seem to have their Spirit low after the three goals but after they had their first substitution of the game in the first half, they seem to improve a little, they have a good defense but the attacking force from real socidad seems stronger. Napoli is also doing same to Union Berlin, given them little to no opportunity but Berlin is trying to keep their strength in their defense solid enough not to further concede goals but it's looking more like Napoli may get another goal before the end of the second half.

Borrusia Dortmund is supreme over Newcastle United, beating them twice is just the message needed to be deliver. Edin Terzic proven to be superior to Eddie Howe, who is unable to withstand the mounting pressure on his team. If we look at the Magpies' previous games, we can see that they are only competitive in the EPL and are in strong positions on the table, but when it comes to UEFA games, they are the least club now in Group F. Newcastle United cannot withstand the burden of UEFA games because they have suffered two consecutive defeats.

Tonight's game is a must win for both Madrid and Napoli, I hope the Italian side get that comfortable win and wait for what happens next in Madrid game.

Of course, Napoli will still win in this match, because the opponent is Union Berlin, which at this moment is experiencing a very bad decline in performance. Therefore, surely Napoli will be able to take advantage of the unfavorable situation that Union Berlin is experiencing at this moment ofcourse, to get full points also in this home match for Napoli . Likewise about Real Madrid still has a good chance of winning, but even so, it seems that it will not be easy for Real Madrid to beat Braga. Because of the previous three matches, at least Real Madrid also only won with a thin score. Moreover, atthis moment Bellingham is not included in the starting eleven, because Bellingham is currently likely to play from the bench.

The result of the Copenhagen - Manchester United match will determine the second team more clearly. If Copenhagen wins today, Galatasaray's chances of getting out of the group will increase considerably.

Talking about Galatasaray who will compete against Bayern Munich is already a guarantee of victory for Munich, whereas before competing at home, Galatasaray was unable to withstand every attack from Munich because in terms of player quality it was very different and today the match will be very difficult for Galatasaray who will compete away and guess the score. I'm like 4-1.
Next, for Manchester United, which will play against Copenhagen, I predict it will likely end in a draw because Copenhagen's performance when they are at home has very strong confidence to withstand attacks from Manchester United.

Union Berlin seem to be having a better second half than they did in the first half as they just scored their first goal of the game which have gotten them an equalizer with Napoli, but I still believe Napoli will still be able to get three points by the end of the game tonight.

Benfica too isn't left out as they have also secured a goal already in the early minutes of the second half but they still have a lot to do if they must get an equalizer or win which I don't see as possible anytime soon because real socidad is playing too well to give a chance for such come back, real socidad may likely get another goal before the end of the second half, benfica will have no chance of qualification if they loose in this match.

Moreover, atthis moment Bellingham is not included in the starting eleven, because Bellingham is currently likely to play from the bench.

In the first half, the Napoli vs Union Berlin match really didn't give us any excitement to watch. but it is natural, because from the Union side Berlin is in a worrying condition. So it's very natural, even without Osimhen Napoli were able to control the game with 70% in the first half. Likewise, tactically, Napoli is much better. Unfortunately, Nopoli had one goal disallowed because of Var.

As for Urs Fischer's squad, his team's squad played in disarray. In fact, it's not uncommon for there not to be much help when a teammate has control of the ball. It's appropriate, if Union Berlin plays like this, I won't be surprised if they experience 12 consecutive defeats in all competitions.
Well, now the second half has started again and Union Berlin was able to equalize 1-1. Let's wait and see what the results are, because I hope there will be 1 more goal scored regardless of which team scores it.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, I have reviewed it in the La Liga thread. and I am sure, even though in the end Bellingham will not play in this match. Don Carlo has other options instead. In fact, Ancelotti can apply his favorite 4-3-3 pattern. The point is, Madrid will confirm its position as group leader by overthrowing its opposing team.

It was a good start for Union Berlin after managing to equalize against Napoli but it was something they couldn't maintain if their defense became loose again. The absence of Victor Osimhen, who is still injured, has made Napoli's attack line less aggressive and now they have to give everything they can to win at home. On the other hand, the additional 3 points are very important in order to maintain their chances of qualifying for the next round. I think Napoli will still score before the end of the game and they have to keep attacking to achieve their goal.

Apart from that, Benfica has scored its first goal in this group stage after the previous 3 matches they had not scored at all. But Real Sociedad, who had already taken the lead with 3 goals, looked very difficult for Benfica to equalize the score in the remaining minutes. It looks like this will be Real Sociedad's victory and at the same time maintain top position in Group D.

There was only one thing that caught my attention when looking at the odds on all of today's UCL matches, and that was the odds that Manchester United received on the 1X2 bet.

They get @ 1.8 odds to win, I think this is a good chance considering their position in group A. Bayern Munich will face Galatasaray, and most likely they (Galatasaray) will lose to Bayern Munich, therefore Manchester United should take advantage of this golden opportunity to move to 2nd place in the standings.

How about you guys? do you have the same thoughts as me?

The bookies are offering odds @1.8 on Man United probably because considering Copenhagen has never won, it's just that I still doubt how Man United will play even though they will take advantage of this golden opportunity to win in order to get to second place in group A but Copenhagen playing at home is difficult to guess and sometimes Man United can be overwhelmed in dealing with it, that's the scenario I think.

Don't dare to take a bet here even though the odds are very good, because that's what I said Man United's game is always erratic this makes a little doubt about taking bets in this match.

Union Berlin really put up a good fight against hosts Napoli, and they put in a good defensive effort and pressed hard on every Napoli player when in possession of the ball, especially when attacking.
Victor Osimhen did influence Napoli's game and if he wasn't injured I'm sure he could have scored, and the match would have ended with the score still looking 1-1.
Real Sociedad played Benfica, the match was over and Real Sociedad was able to beat Benfica with a landslide score of 3-1 and lead the Group D standings.

Union Berlin seem to be having a better second half than they did in the first half as they just scored their first goal of the game which have gotten them an equalizer with Napoli, but I still believe Napoli will still be able to get three points by the end of the game tonight.

Union Berlin's performance this season is not impressive; they have been suffering in the Bundesliga; they lost 12 matches in a row, which is a very poor performance for them. I don't think they will be able to qualify for even the Europa League because so far this season, they have only won two matches in the Bundesliga; therefore, I expect Napoli to win the match.

Benfica too isn't left out as they have also secured a goal already in the early minutes of the second half but they still have a lot to do if they must get an equalizer or win which I don't see as possible anytime soon because real socidad is playing too well to give a chance for such come back, real socidad may likely get another goal before the end of the second half, benfica will have no chance of qualification if they loose in this match.

Real Sociedad have already dominated the match completely; they scored four goals in the match, but one was canceled. Real Sociedad have almost secured their knockout stage ticket because they are already 10 points ahead of Inter with 7 points. If Inter win their match today, they will have the same points, and both of them have successfully qualified for the group.

[Pokapoka124]

I’m looking at Manchester United lineup and Harry Maguire is starting. The fans are already praying he doesn’t screw up, Maguire is not such a terrible defender, only when he came to Manchester United the pressure of leadership and the price tag may be the reason why his performance dropped. I don’t have any confidence that Manchester United may make it to the next round of the championship league, the fixtures are not looking friendly and judging from the other two games, you can see they were outscored by their opponents. I think the best Manchester United can get from this fixture is a draw.

[BIT-BENDER]

And again Napoli failed to win in the UEFA champions league I think they played very poorly and were very wasteful both teams did not make the game exciting and Napoli players never showed any sense of urgency in today's match.
Osimhen was on the side linea again today and I believe now they team board would know he is a very important part of the team and I think if he was in today's game Napoli should have won.

Borrusia Dortmund is supreme over Newcastle United, beating them twice is just the message needed to be deliver. Edin Terzic proven to be superior to Eddie Howe, who is unable to withstand the mounting pressure on his team. If we look at the Magpies' previous games, we can see that they are only competitive in the EPL and are in strong positions on the table, but when it comes to UEFA games, they are the least club now in Group F. Newcastle United cannot withstand the burden of UEFA games because they have suffered two consecutive defeats.

That's the reason why I don't think Newcastle has a bigger chance in the Champions League even though they beat PSG surprisingly. Newcastle are no better than Milan and PSG, so the odds will never be good. They only have 2 games to prove something, but I think things will be very difficult for them.

We all know that all the teams in Group F still have a chance to qualify if they can win the next 2 matches, especially Milan and Newcastle, but this is possible if PSG and Dortmund lose the next 2 matches in a row. For me it's just a possibility, but PSG and Dortmund seem to have a good chance of qualifying even though PSG just suffered their second defeat in the group stage in 4 matches.
