UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[KTChampions]

Well we started the week with a surprise result although not as big as that of yesterday night of Barcelona.Napoli could not win against the weakest team of the group Union Berlin and they got their first point I think tonight Union Berlin.They are not doing well in the Bundesliga and Napoli could not take profit of their form,again showing an inconsistent team that Napoli is during this new season.

Real Sociedad is already qualified I believe for the next round after the win of tonight and they are leading the group.Let's see how these other games end up but as I said we already have our first surprise result for the night.

It turns out that if Real wins today, it will officially qualify. Braga will retain theoretical chances to beat Napoli, but they look extremely slim even if Real beats Napoli for the second time and “helps” Braga. In fact, Napoli lost nothing today.
By the way, after this round, the number of teams that have qualified will increase quite seriously and, unfortunately, there are many “random” games ahead of us where the favorites will not try. Thank God we have group F!

Not only Madrid, now if Real Sociedad and Bayern win today's match they will qualify for the next phase following Leipzig and Manchester City who are certain they will qualify for the knock out phase.
It's clearly becoming more and more clear that several clubs have already made sure to take part in the group stage.

This Madrid game we didn't have Jude but there was good news here as we finally saw Brahim Dias start after not seeing him play for a while. I'm pretty confident of another win for Madrid in this one and I hope it happens.

Manchester united is very brilliant today, they have been really  good with their performance so far in the first half bof the game leading by a goal already but Copenhagen isn't relenting with their attacks bas they are looking for a possible counter attack opportunity.

The match has been characterized with a few stops but they are back on play, this may attract further extension of the first half, hojlund has been really brilliant tonight, rashford is yet to give any action, hojlund has already gotten a brace in the first half of the game. This win will seal their chances for qualification if by the end of the second half Manchester united wins, Arsenal is also leading by a goal, the champions league seem to be characterized with many goals tonight.

The score was now 1-0 in favour of Madrid.
Brahim Diaz, who has not been seen on the pitch for a long time, answered Ancelotti's trust with a goal some time ago and it looks like the injured Jude should now be put to good use by Brahim in this match.
In addition, I saw a player who had just extended his contract (Camavinga) back in a different position, and indeed Nacho is also now positioned at centre-back which makes me quite happy with some of the rotations Ancelotti made in this match.

The other game Manchester United were already 2 goals up and Hojlund looked like a different person in this game

[Pierre 2]

Witnessing very tough match today for Galatasaray as they play against Bayern Munich tonight. Galatasaray players are having issues with passes and dribbling. I believe Bayern studied them well and marking one on one so Galatasaray can't really build counterattacks etc. Galatasaray defence is struggling but I think they may concede a goal soon. Galatasaray sort of needs a miracle to win this match...

[Alpha Marine]

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.

I didn't watch the Napoli game but I was surprised to tune in and see Napoli playing 1-1 at home with Union Berlin.
If this was last season I wouldn't have been surprised because Union Berlin were very good last season, but the opposite is the case this season, they're ni a poor form. This is a game I expected Napoli to win easily.

I was watching the Real Sociedad very Benfica game. I didn't expect the game to be so easy for Sociedad. They played very well. They played free flowing attacking football. Real Sociedad are doing a very good job. If not for the penalty miss a d the disallowed goal they would have ran riot in Benfica. I didn't expect Benfica to be such push overs. How did they allow themselves concede 3 goals in the first half?

This win will seal their chances for qualification if by the end of the second half Manchester united wins, Arsenal is also leading by a goal, the champions league seem to be characterized with many goals tonight.

Rasmus Hoejlund is the  star player tonight as he has found the back of the net twice for Manchester United, the first 20 minutes of the game Manchester United enjoyed a brilliant dominance of possession and they made good use of the chances they created to take the lead away from home so right now I think they need to put in more work on their defense because the home team has started asking a lot of questions since United got the second goal and I think it will be very dangerous if the home team get a goal in the first half it will be very difficult for United to get away with the 3 points.

Obviously I think an additional time will be added in the first half because of the delays and time wasted in the first half but I think it's all in the advantage of Manchester United who will utilize the opportunity to rest and gather more momentum to continue in their brilliant performance tonight.

[Ruttoshi]

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.

Erik Ten Hang came up with a fairly good fixtures today. Although he is having shortage of players but then his selection is fine. He has Erikson and Mc Tom sitting deep in the midfield, while having Garnacho and Rashford at the both side of the wings. Bruno is at the center of the midfield while the young Hojlund is at the top to get the goals. This is a nice fixture.

In the defence, there is Maguire and recently Maguire has not been the problem of Manchester United. And it is only Dallot which is in poor form that is playing off position. If there will be weakness, it might come from the left back.

What a good start for the red devils as they got an early goal in the first three minutes of the game. The deadlock was broken by Hojlund who was left with an empty net after he received a pass from Tominaay. United needs to make sure that they don't make any expensive mistake that will lead to the cancellation of this hail by their opponent.

Hojlund happily scored against his former club to make a remarkable day for himself because if they finally win the match Copenhagen will not be happy about what what he did to them because if they loss this match it means that they are out of the competition and Hojlund stole that hope from them.

Hojlund has made it two goals as he has scored the second goal on the 28th minutes with another easy goal. This means that Manchester united have a upper hand to win this game. On the other hand Bayern and Galatasary are still playing goalless but Bayern is taking control and possession of the game. Just in Copenhagen had scored their first goal.
Copenhagen 1-2 Man U

Manchester United seem to have gotten their groove back with last win against Fulham last weekend and also taking an early lead here against compenhagen, and also doubling their lead late into the first half of the game, they seem to be in very good form at the moment despite the fact that Manchester United side could be very inconsistent, Marcus rashford has gotten himself into trouble after step on the ankle of the opponent's ankle leaving the referee with no other option than to send him off paving way for compenhagen to try and get themselves back into this game and they've a gotten a goal. Manchester will now have to do a lot of defence going forward because the pressure will be intense.

Rasmus Højlund has put Manchester United ahead at half-time with the current score 0-2. Of course this is a match that should be easy for Manchester United to win, but it is not finished yet so Ten Hag cannot be careless in adjusting his strategy regarding this match. I don't think rotation in the second half is necessary, in fact Rasmus Højlund should get 90 minutes of time and give him a chance to get a hat trick to boost his confidence.

And what happened was unexpected, Marcus Rasford received his first red card in the Champions League. This was a bit disappointing for him as it was the only red card he received in the Champions League in the last 5 seasons. A red card like this is very decisive, even Manchester United had to concede a goal from Mohamed Elyounoussi a few minutes after Rashford was sent off.

[ajiz138]

Marcos Rashford is shown a red card when checked by VAR and makes a tackle.... Man United will start to lose their balance and Copenhagen have just caught up with the goal now the score is 1-2.

It's hard to say Man United will last until the end in the second half, they will play defensively probably because the attack will be a little lacking.
Something that is not in Manchester United's favor they should at least be able to hold on until the end because it is important about 3 points for them.

[nurilham]

It turns out that if Real wins today, it will officially qualify. Braga will retain theoretical chances to beat Napoli, but they look extremely slim even if Real beats Napoli for the second time and “helps” Braga. In fact, Napoli lost nothing today.

Real Madrid is leading with 1 goal now. Brahim Diaz scored a single goal in minute 27'. Although Real Madrid leads 1 goal but the match is quite tight. They are still not safe, there is still the opportunity for Braga to equal the score. However, I'm sure that Real Madrid will win the match, they are playing at home today. About Napoli, they got a draw result today, they are still in 2nd place. Napoli chance to qualify for the next round is quite open (quite possible).

By the way, after this round, the number of teams that have qualified will increase quite seriously and, unfortunately, there are many “random” games ahead of us where the favorites will not try. Thank God we have group F! 

The teams who always win the match, will qualify for the next round. Man City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid look automatically to qualify. Group E and F are interesting, we still can't determine which 2 teams to qualify for the next round. In the final match of the group stage, their position in the table is very possible to change again.

[Richbased]

Arsenal is giving an awesome display at the Emirates stadium, they are leading sevilla by 1:0 in the first half goal scored by trossard in the 29th minutes and his goal was assisted by Saka. Sometimes the way these teams behaves is so astonishing. Arsenal that people were thinking that they would find it hard in this game is now leading Sevilla in the first half. See how Arsenal players are playing with so much energy in this match. Just hope the final outcome of this match will still be in favor of Arsenal.

[CLS63]

Rashford's red card is good news for Galatasaray now. If Copenhagen get one point from Manchester United it would be really beneficial for Galatasaray to advance to next stage in the Champions League. When it comes to the Bayern Munich - Galatasaray match it has been quite balanced so far. Galatasaray defended their opponent really well.

Bayern Munich had many goal attempts but the goalkeeper Muslera was really decent with his saves. But I don't know how much longer Galatasaray can resist these attempts. They need to take advantage of the chances they find. For example they wasted a big chance a couple of minutes before the end of the first half. Zaha missed the ball and Ziyech also couldn't finish after.

[meser#]

The first half of the Bayern-Galatasaray match ended in a 0-0 draw. Both teams had some good positions, especially Muslera made some great saves. On the other hand Galatasaray, failed to score in positions where they could have easily scored. But, I'm supporting Galatasaray, so we need to score at least after 75th min and defense like there is no tomorrows, otherwise Bayern can react very fast.

[Sakanwa]

Its first half between Arsenal and Sevilla as the gunners lead with 1:0.The game is really an interesting one as Arsenal are dominating the whole pitch with an excellent performance tonight.The goal was scored by Trossard who was given his first start in the champions league by Arsenal,and he was assisted by Saka who has been a nightmare to the Sevilla defenders throughout the first half.This is the best performance in the champions league by Arsenal this season because Sevlla have had zero shot on target with Arsenal having more than 4 corner kicks.

[Bananington]

The other game Manchester United were already 2 goals up and Hojlund looked like a different person in this game

The last time that the Manchester United striker Hojlund scored two goals in their Champions League game Manchester United still went ahead to lose the game. Manchester United have already lost a goal advantage as they conceded before the break, now they have to struggle not to be scored another goal, and  it will be more difficult now that have just ten men to continue the game with Rashford sent off. Manchester United will loose this game, is what I think because Rashford who has been sent of is a very important player for the team, and he usually has an influence that leads to goals. Manchester United will struggle to defend and struggle to score another goal.

. Hojlund has never being a happy ending for United.
Initially the game between Copenhagen vs Manchester United was going in favour of the red devil in the 35th minutes of the first half but eventually that favour couldn't survive the first half,  The red card given to Marcos Rashford is negatively impacting on the team which gave Copenhagen the liberty to get their two goals just after that red card. This game gonna end badly for United in the second half as their opponent is  eager and pressing to get more goal to the back of the net .

Madrid leading against Braga by a goal to nothing. Diaz B scoring the close range  goal with so much velocity.
Galatasaray keeper Muslera has made many great saves in the first half Saving all shots thrown at him by the Bayern striker Harry Kane ending the first 45 minutes in a goalless draw.

Something that is not in Manchester United's favor they should at least be able to hold on until the end because it is important about 3 points for them.

The red card has already affected Manchester United play because Copenhagen have leveled the score to make it 2-2 in a penalty kick just some seconds before half time. Galatasary will be happy with Manchester United situation if they can be able to add more point in their match against Bayern Munich because they are currently goalless.

Arsenal’s first half performance is very impressive, many people will be thinking that Arsenal will not play well because of injuries not knowing that Sevilla also have some their first team players absent in the match which makes it balanced.

Although I expect Arsenal to win because Sevilla statistically are very poor away from home in European competitions; they were winless in their last 14 games away from home in the European competitions that is why I expect Arsenal to win the match without any doubt.
