UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

Milan wasted opportunities to win and failed to defend well, the match was a draw, and the biggest loss was that Pioli lost Rafael Leao in that match. Losing Leao in Milan's main squad is absolutely like losing ¼ of their attack power, because after all he is the main part of Milan attack this season.

Dortmund will be very comfortable when facing the Rossoneri without having full strength, even though I also know that the German club is fearless against its opponents. But this time it made things a little easier for their defense without Leao, so they were at an advantage.

But on the other hand, I still hope that the injury is not serious, so that in the match between Dortmund versus Milan we will have a fierce game because both clubs are playing with intact squads.

Not only did they lose Rafael Leao but AC Milan also had to lose Olivier Giroud in the next few matches because of the red card he received.
These two players could cause Milan big loss because these two players have become the key to Milan strength and in the match against Dortmund there may be series of pressures experienced by Milan.

Stefano Pioli had to rack his brains by using several ways to use other players to fill the void left by Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud.
Now there will only be squad with limited players, in fact I not sure Milan can have maximum results in the match against Dortmund.

But the match against Dortmund is still at the end of the month so there is chance that Stefano Pioli will have quite long time to prepare everything.

Rafael Leão the palayer of AC MIlan got injured while playing for his team in the Serie A against Lecce.
He got injured in the game between Lecce and AC Milan just eight minutes after the start of the game and he couldn't continue the match.
Now there is a chance for Leão to be absent in the game AC Milan is going to have against Dortmund.

The mina players are being so wasteful. I don't know what's wrong with acmilan but this club is playing so terrible against lecce. The club said nothing happened but the fact if milan's defenders are always performing so poorly. Like they were in the mentality crisis which is not good for me to be honest. Seeing milan was getting draw against lecce made me feel milan cannot get into the knock out round of UCL. The defenders are so weak and they lose what they have shown at the early season.
Everything about milan is still uncertain. Im doubting milan to win against dortmund and newcastle if this club is still playing like shit.

The draw against lecce was unacceptable since milan is still in the process to build its confidence again. Milan is once again showing the inconsistentcy of club.
This club seems lack of commitment from any of its players.

The strongest candidate to win the trophy along with real madrid and bayern munich. I don't really see any other strong candidates besides these clubs. City, Madrid, and Bayern are the favorites to win the trophy this season, proving that this is not a farmer league. My reason is caused by there have been major improvements that happened in the club. It will be so good to see city face a strong club in the next stage. Manchester city may still try to continue the result from the previous season as city was perfectly winning the trophy. Pep is trying so hard to keep city in the same track this time. There are no lots of change happened in the club. City is still 90% with the same players like the previous seasons.

Tipping Manchester city, Real Madrid and Bayern munich as the possible UEFA Champions league winners isn't bad I mean over the years, these aforementioned clubs have really dominated the champions league but I see some turn around this time.
Currently the clubs are in good form and looks like teams that wouldn't be defeated except they meet each other but believe this is football as history are meant to be broken so I foresee a weaker team surprising the bigger clubs in this season champions league trophy.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are considered to be the most consistent and strongest teams in the Champions League this season. Although Real Madrid have some weaknesses in attack, Ancelotti continues to try his best to fix these weaknesses. And because of this, Real Madrid's performance is still very consistent. On the other hand Bayern Munich team is very strong. And I would say Munich have the strongest squad in the Champions League. Manchester City midfield is a bit weak. However, due to Guardiola's excellent match tactics, we are getting good performances from this team in every match. I personally don't see Barcelona as favorites for the Champions League anymore. The performance of this team is very erratic.

These three club are indeed the stronger candidate in the Champions League, not only this season but also the previous season, but if you look at it, it seem that Manchester City is trying hard to winner the Champions League title again this season like the previous season. We can not be sure which of the three club will win most deserved to wins the title because these three clubs are still performing strongs this season in the Champions League and have not suffered defeat so far.

Barcelona is not a strong candidate because its performance has not been completely stable so far, but Barcelona is still fighting hard for it, and is trying to get the best position in the Champions League even though it is not a strongst candidate to winner the title.

Group F must be the most complicated group now though. Because there is only one point gap between all the teams. Anything can happen on the remaining game weeks. Even PSG can find themselves out of the Champions League if they don't make up for that Milan loss. As Milan couldn't score until this game most people must have thought PSG would win here.

But it is plain logic of course. I didn't like that. I considered PSG's away performance at the same time. The Newcastle game came to my mind and I was confident about both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at the same time.

This group was very to predict when we saw a good performance from PSG I think this team got a good chance to finish this stage at the first place in the table and this is reason to say Enrique is safe in PSG but the problems are about the second team and I think the chance for Ac MIlan is higher than Newcastle because Ac MIlan was more stable and they had better performance than Newcastle so far in this season.

We have never seen a better performance than Milan in the Champions League. I think Milan are probably more worried about Serie A matches this season. They are less interested in Champions League matches. However, so far both Milan and Newcastle are likely to qualify for the round of 16. I considered PSG as the favorite in Group F. But PSG's qualification for the round of 16 has now become uncertain after losing two matches. PSG will need to win their next match against Newcastle and avenge their previous humiliating defeat.

In my opinion, Real Madrid is always the favorite to win the UCL League every year, but if Man City's performance remains consistent then they will always compete with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, even though they play in the farmers' league, they have a chance. good history in the UCL and their mentality is indeed strong, especially since the arrival of Harry Kane, even so, if Bayern Munich met the teams above earlier, they would not have won. In my opinion, the strongest predictions for the UCL League champions this season are Real Madrid, second, Man City, third, Bayer Munich.


Barcelona is no longer on the list of those considered and favored in the Champions League, because there are no Messi and Neymar, they are considered a team that does not have the winning mentality in the UCL League.

of the several teams you mentioned that have a fairly perfect line up for me at the moment Bayern Munich but it will not guarantee to win the title in the UCL and even though Real Madrid has weaknesses in the attack line but look Madrid is very perfect with the players they currently have when Bellingham is able to play the role of striker in Madrid and just imagine if Madrid were able to bring in a great striker it would definitely be perfect.
and for Man City I agree with your statement in the midfield there is a slight decline in performance unlike last season and this is not a difficult situation for Guardiola because the transfer market will reopen to be able to get the best players to strengthen the midfield.

for now, Barcelona may have to accept the fact that they dont really expect to get a title in the UCL because in terms of players, perhaps the talent they have is not strong enough to compete in the UCL and my only hope is that Barcelona will focus on La Liga and improve its finances to quickly recover its finances and be able to win more talented players to chase the title at UCL again.

I lean more towards Man City potentially facing Bayern Munich in the Final. These two deserve to meet and it will definitely be a very hot final match. I actually have high hopes for Madrid, but judging from the limited players, especially pure strikers, Madrid will have difficulty achieving this in the UCL this season. I know it is very common for us to label Madrid as having a winning mentality, winning the most trophies and so on. However, there is little big competition this season which will be the difference because the presence of a core striker who is hungry for goals is really needed to continue to lead a competition as big as the UCL.

Seeing that Bayern Munich already has Kane and other players who are very solid in attack, Man City only needs Kevin de Bruyne to return to the main squad, but currently there are options like Doku who continues to rise rapidly under the control of Pep Guardiola. Therefore, the strongest candidates who are most suitable for the final are Man City and Bayern Munich.

[Strongkored]

Barcelona is no longer on the list of those considered and favored in the Champions League, because there are no Messi and Neymar, they are considered a team that does not have the winning mentality in the UCL League.

If you look at what has happened to Barcelona in recent seasons, your statement can be said to be true, that when their star players were no longer at the club, Barcelona began to experience decline and in fact this was also caused by mistakes in managing the club so that Barcelona had a lot of debt, so Barcelona couldn't afford it to regenerate players on time because the key to a club continuing to perform well is regenerating players so that they can produce new stars.
Real Madrid is also no longer with their stars but without financial constraints, they can buy players and now these new players will have the opportunity to become new stars, so it is difficult for Barcelona to compete in the Champions League not entirely because there are no more Neymar and Messi there but also the management's inability manage the club well, but will Barcelona also be a weak team this season in the champions league? It doesn't seem as weak as imagined, just competing to get further will be quite difficult.

Even though it is possible for weaker teams to surprise the big clubs this season, everyone will definitely be waiting more for the big clubs to compete with clubs whose strengths are not much different. This season could be fiercer than last season, because the strengths of each team have improved and have opportunities that are not much different if we look at it now. Although the surprise that comes from a small team cannot be denied by every fan.

These three teams are the only teams that have the highest probability of winning the trophy this season and this can be seen by their respective performance in the league so far. If any of these teams meet now, the number of team ti be left among them to win the trophy will reduce, and we will finally get the last person to win the trophy. I wish they should meet at the semifinals, that is where the intensity of the game will lie most and that will give room for more seriousness among the clubs. I don’t know for now, but these three teams are very good teams to win the champions league title for now until a smaller team we don’t expect will remove them from the competition and pave way for themselves as replacements for them. This is no farmer’s league and the best and most strategical team wins in the end.

[twiki]

I am more inclined to believe that it will be Milan.
They, like no one else, deserve to leave the group.
Let's be honest - all the other opponents simply slipped through the matches, either due to luck or the stars became so that they had an equal number of points.
Dormund simply went through all the games like clockwork.
PSG - I don’t see it as an option, but I’ll just keep quiet about Newcastle.

There are only two teams that will qualify for the next round and the four teams in Group F are still quite likely with the condition that Dortmund and PSG suffered defeat in the fifth match while AC Milan and Newcastle could win the match. Of course this is not an easy scenario that can be run by AC Milan or Newcastle, but in football there is nothing impossible when they are able to see opportunities to win the match.

Newcastle has a good capital when entertaining PSG because in the first leg won with a large score, while AC Milan might be a little heavier because in the first leg drew when facing Dortmund. Even so, I put confidence in PSG and AC Milan who will qualify for the next round because mentally and the experience of the two teams is far more prepared.

Maybe you are right.
If you look from the preparation side, Milan and PSG are the best fit here. Both mentally and physically. Their lineups are ready for this. As for the rest, they are poorly prepared both in composition and strategically.

This group was very to predict when we saw a good performance from PSG I think this team got a good chance to finish this stage at the first place in the table and this is reason to say Enrique is safe in PSG but the problems are about the second team and I think the chance for Ac MIlan is higher than Newcastle because Ac MIlan was more stable and they had better performance than Newcastle so far in this season.

Mbappe was able making hatrick in the league 1. I think that it can become a good motivation for whole of players to win the upcoming game. I must say that the game against newcastle will also become the most important game.

The result from this matchday will determine the position of the club in the group stage. We are being very close to determine which club that will pass the group stage. It's caused by these clubs are having pretty small gaps. I think that dortmund can lock a spot to pass the group stage as long as it will able to win against acmilan. PSG really needs three points. Unable to get three points will put PSG in a difficult situation. Winning three points will make PSG able to secure the second spot.

All of clubs in the group F must have fully prepared caused by they will be facing very hard situation when they must kill each other.

I don't think it's that simple to predict this group. We can see from their matches, they are the only group that can beat each other. Although Borussia Dortmund is now leading the table, but that can change in the last 2 matches. All teams still have a chance to qualify from this group, and it becomes very complicated if we look at their performances that can beat each other.
I can't say that one of them is above the rest now, because the fact is that the 2 matches they will play are still very capable of changing the situation.

This season could be fiercer than last season, because the strengths of each team have improved and have opportunities that are not much different if we look at it now. Although the surprise that comes from a small team cannot be denied by every fan.

From my perspective, this season's Champions League is different because there are now very few surprises from teams that are considered weak. The teams that are stronger and predicted as favorites give a positive impression and even up to match 4 they have confirmed themselves to be in the last 16. There are some big teams that are struggling, and that's because of the decline in their current form.
For example Manchester United, I don't know what to say about this team, because on the one hand they are one of the big teams that have a good history in the Champions League, but on the other hand they are also a team that cannot be expected now.

[X-ray]

Rafael Leão the palayer of AC MIlan got injured while playing for his team in the Serie A against Lecce.
He got injured in the game between Lecce and AC Milan just eight minutes after the start of the game and he couldn't continue the match.
Now there is a chance for Leão to be absent in the game AC Milan is going to have against Dortmund.

Shittt.. that means acmilan is finished in UCL. Playing without leao becomes very bad thing to be accepted by the club. I kinda feel acmilan will be wasting an opportunity in the upcoming game. The UCL clubs are far stronger caused by these are best from the best.
The only good thing if pulisic will still play along with giroud. I can't really predict what is gonna happen with acmilan but beating dortmund is a must for milan.

There is no excuse to get draw against dortmund. Draw or acmilan is finishing. As you can see that acmilan's performance against lecce was fuckin awful. I cannot expect milan to win the game against dortmund.

Leao has always become the key player who played well as a winger of acmilan. So yeah mate i don't even know what to fuckin say if acmilan will be playing without leao. I hope it will be only non serious injury.

[twiki]

Dormund simply went through all the games like clockwork.
PSG - I don’t see it as an option, but I’ll just keep quiet about Newcastle.

Milan? I am still hesitant about Milan out as the second choice in Group F to continue the match to the next round, I think more PSG has a greater chance of going out in second place after Dortmund.
But it is quite difficult because everything has the same opportunity including Newcastle, although Newcastle is the worst choice, but indeed I also can't be more about Newcastle, it is almost impossible to get second place, unless he Newcastle can win their last match in a row, and Milan with PSG did not get a score at all in its last match in this Group F stage.

The competition in Group F is quite fierce all that still has a chance, even though it is difficult to speculate who will really qualify from the Group F including Dortmund himself who leads points in Group F.

Yes, there is a really tense atmosphere in the group. Everything will depend on the preparation and morale of the teams. Well, of course, from the main composition of the teams. since there are enough injuries it is difficult to predict anything, but since I am more inclined towards Milan, although I am not his ardent fan, I think that he will make every effort to win. and I still flatter myself with the hope that they will be able to reach at least the 1/8 finals.

[Distraction]

Manchester United are continuing to face defensive problems. They are still lacking some important players at the back. Martinez's injury is still going on and Casemiro is also injured now. In addition to these injuries Evans has also got injured new. They have Varane back at least but he is also showing an inconsistent performance lately.

Considering this situation Manchester United's job will be tougher than ever about the aim of reaching last 16 round. I'm saying it even though the point difference with Copenhagen and Galatasaray is 1 now.

They will need to make up for that weakness with their attacking power. However Rashford got a red car in the last match here. Hojlund's effort would be critical.

[DaNNy001]

At the moment,  is becoming clear that Manchester City will still take the trophy in that season and the reason being that,  the club have been on a run up in all measure matches since the last 9games and that to a large extent is going to tell have the club performance is going to be in the next few matches to come,  this is what we have to look out for in whatever discussion we have and at whatever time.

Even though there have been a few pockets of decline in performance in the last few days,  it still seems that Manchester still maintains the most formidable team and also can deliver at each of their matches.

Manchester City may be your favorite club but they are not exactly invisible this season like they were before. This is the champions league we are talking about, it’s not a farmers league. I think it is still early to call Manchester City favorites to win the trophy because there are other top teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who also record one hundred percent success rate in the champions league.

The strongest candidate to win the trophy along with real madrid and bayern munich. I don't really see any other strong candidates besides these clubs. City, Madrid, and Bayern are the favorites to win the trophy this season, proving that this is not a farmer league. My reason is caused by there have been major improvements that happened in the club. It will be so good to see city face a strong club in the next stage. Manchester city may still try to continue the result from the previous season as city was perfectly winning the trophy. Pep is trying so hard to keep city in the same track this time. There are no lots of change happened in the club. City is still 90% with the same players like the previous seasons.

Manchester city no doubt are really the first choice to win this year champions league again but like you said Bayern Munich and Madrid can really pose a treat because the Bayern of last season isn't actually the same because this team has evolved alot from their scoring of goals because of their recent signings and their is also the case of Bellingham and Madrid, this team also is another strong contender with the brilliance of vini jnr and Bellingham, Madrid can really pose a treat in the champions league.

It would be very interesting to see this confrontation. A confrontation between truly strong teams. But I think that this is possible, since people come from different groups and we need to get to this point and not get into trouble. Nowadays games have become so unpredictable that it is difficult to predict anything.
