UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[SOKO-DEKE]

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.

It is a Bayern Munich home game, and I may say that Bayern Munich may find it easy to achieve the victory over Galatasaray. It is very clear that Bayern Munich is stronger than Galatasaray, so the chances of Bayern Munich winning the game are very high, and I believe that will happen. Even Galatasaray is lucky; the best thing they can do is draw, but I never think Galatasaray can beat Bayern Munich.
 
Yes, it is the Manchester United match against Copenhagen that will surely determine Galatasaray's chances of qualifying for the next round. But I'm not sure if Copenhagen will be able to beat Manchester United despite the Copenhagen home game. I am aware that Manchester United are not in good form, but I  still believe they will do everything possible to win this game, so their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 will increase. But let's see what happens at the end of the game.

[MinoRaiola]

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.

Unbelievable but it happened, a draw after losing 12 games, the Champions League and fofana made it possible. There were 43 shots on both goals in the game and only two were scored, thats not a good performance. Napoli could score maybe 3 goals. Osimhen is missing from the team and you can see that in the game, he can scored 1-2 goals. The draw is not a catastrophe, they have many points ahead, Napoli and Madrid will reach the next round.

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.

Though of a truth Borrusia Dortmund is bigger than Newcastle due to the fact that they've had more champions league experience than Newcastle and they also have tactical and more experienced players than Newcastle and they are also in good form in their league but Newcastle losing that match to Borrusia Dortmund was just as a result of the injury that some key players of Newcastle got and the most recent one being the injury of their key defender Dan Burn so they were really unfortunate in their match with Borrusia Dortmund though they would have done more better despite the absence of their key players.

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.

Group F is one of the hardest group especially after the defeat of PSG and Newcastle. Everything will be held on standby until the next round or even until the last minute of the last game in that group.
I find it hard to see PSG being kicked from this stage and I find Milan better than Dortmund but the real problem is Newcastle United performance which is fluctuating and might determine which team will qualify.

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.

[Lida93]

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.

After losing some of their key players the starting eleven of Benfica this season in the UCL played poorly not just in this game but the previous games too I don't know what has happened to Benfica the performance tonight was just disgusting from the upfront down to the defense it was just terrible.

Real sociedad haven't been doing great in their home league though but they were incredible in tonight game against Benfica with beautiful touches making good use of their early chances 3 goals denied still scored 3 accepted goals with a clean sheet scoreline in their favour.

Napoli vs Union Berlin game the score was what I had expected as that game was a tough one for both sides ending the game in a 1:1 draw.

[swogerino]

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.

You are right, Newcastle is difficult to predict and they could win the next 2 matches to qualify for the last 16. As I said, the next two matches will determine who will qualify for the round of 16 and every team still has a chance to get it. I just believe PSG and Dortmund are the ones who will go higher this season in the Champions League especially from group F, but that doesn't necessarily underestimate Milan and Newcastle's chances.

About Manchester United, oh I just realized that they are already 0-1 ahead of Copenhagen. Rasmus Hojlund scored from Scott McTominay's assist, it was a quick goal which seemed to be a good sign of Manchester United's chances of winning this game. I watched the Arsenal vs Sevilla match, it was more interesting than some other matches.

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!

1-1 for Napoli  
1st point for Bonucci in Germany.

And fans are now asking to sack Garcia.

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.

[Weawant]

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.

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.
