UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Leviathan.007]

Erik Ten Hag's team are bottom of Group A with 3 points, but they are only one point behind second-placed Copenhagen with two matches remaining. Man Utd will visit Galatasaray in the penultimate match before hosting Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. Coach Ten Hag and his team need to win both remaining games. Even if they win both of these matches, coach Erik ten Hag and his team are still not sure of continuing. There is still a case where Copenhagen also wins both Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, and then Copenhagen will win a ticket to the 1/8 round. Not to mention, in the final match, Man Utd will have to face a mighty Bayern Munich. It's difficult for Man Utd to get a ticket to continue.

What's happening with Manchester United worries me. They're in trouble and haven't played well this season. They were in jeopardy after losing at home to Galatasaray and losing to Copenhagen, especially after Rashford's error that got him sent off. In any case, their attack has been poor. Not exceeding 13 goals in 12 league games? Obviously not Manchester United. Defence isn't improving either. They need to reverse their form, which is unlikely, to win their next two games. To qualify for the Europa League, they should aim for third place. Though difficult to admit, their present play makes it impossible to beat Bayern Munich. Their Champions League trip appears more like a fight to survive than a win. Things are sad, but they must accept it

Manchester United really don't have the toughest group. Only Bayern are serious opponents, but for unknown reasons Manchester United have lost three games and won just one. I always thought that they will not experience difficulties in this qualification, but Galatasaray and Copenhagen have more points so far.

Including me I was thinking Manchester United has an upper chances of easily qualifying from there group because Manchester United was not supposed to have much issues on winning there matches because the only strong team that could beat them there is Bayern Munich but on the contrary Manchester United is even making themselves to look like they are the smallest club on there group.

Imagine as big as Manchester United they are on the last position on there group table when they are supposed to be on the second position on the group table if they had performed well, truly Manchester United has really lost form this season.

At the start of the Champions League when we saw Manchester United in this group, I thought they could easily pass this stage and Ten Hag is not going to lose this chance while they are in the same group with two weak teams compared to Manchester United. But Currently Manchester United is in the worst situation they can ever be and I think Manchester United can't have any chance in this group that's why the best they can do is to focus on Premier League games instead of the Champions League.

What is the fate of Newcastle United in the champions league. This is a very big question I have been asking myself since this week. When Newcastle qualified for the champions League, I was very happy for them but when the champions league fixture landed them in the group of death, I pitied thek and predicted that they will not qualify. There first match supported my claim. But from their second match, it seems that they had big chances of qualifying from the group. But now they are at the bottom, I don't know their fate again.
Considering the number of injuries Newcastle has, what is their fate in the champions league group of death?

It is obvious that Newcastle will not qualify for the next group stage. I think they have to put more focus on the premier league. To see if they can come out top 5 in the league. This is because there is a lot of competition in their group table. And the worst part is that they are in the bottom with four points. Dortmund have won Newcastle twice, PSG and Millian are capable of defeating Newcastle  still in the upcoming days.

Their fate lies in how good they can perform in the remaining matches left for them to play. It is not going to be very easy for them but if they were able to pull through in this group and got the points they’ve earned in this group through their hardwork and consistent so far. I think they will get to perform some wonders in these two matches left for them. I am also in support of them because of how they amazed me in the group stage matches when I thought their performance will be poor. We don’t need to be underestimating any team henceforth base on the quality of the team but we should wait and see their performance in the field first before we can conclude.

It's really sad how ten hag has failed the red devils and are making them look like the source of strength to the teams who were supposed to be considered weak amongst them in their group, when Manchester united was placed in they group, it was considered by many an easy group pass for them.

Now these teams who were seen to be weak are rather using Manchester to rank up in their group due to their failure to win most of their games, so far all the four games they have played, Manchester united has been able to win just one and it's really funny how.they have so much goals already but just a win, the highest goal scorers in that group are mostly Manchester united players yet they can't win an game and just qualify, they have just dominated the statistics and are potentially going home.

[MAAManda]

It's true, you are too quick to draw conclusions about which teams will qualify from group F. The difference in points in this group is small, 4, 5, 6 and 7 points for each team. There are still 2 matches remaining, these teams still have the potential to get full points. For me, the 2 teams that will qualify from this group are Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan. The next matchday will determine which teams have great potential to advance to the next round.

If in the end Milan can complete their journey to the round of 16, then that will really be something very enjoyable. PSG and Milan have the chance to qualify if they are able to beat Dortmund, but anything can happen, even PSG still has the potential to fail to advance to the round of 16 this season.

I'm not completely ignoring Newcastle's chances, but I have to admit that Newcastle are not favorites to qualify even though they managed to beat PSG in their previous match. I hope PSG can get their revenge in the home game against Newcastle, so that will definitely disqualify them for the Europa League and or completely wipe out their hopes in Europe this season.

AC Milan will face Borussia Dortmund on the next UCL matchday, this match will also be a home match for them which makes them have a greater chance of getting 3 points. Apart from that, bookies also show that AC Milan is the favorite to win with odds @ 1.95 on the 1X2 bet. If they really win the match, they will be in second place in Group F or could even be top of the standings if Paris Saint-Germain is unable to get full points when facing Newcastle.

Newcastle opponent in Group F is a difficult opponent for them, PSG Dortmund Milan is a team that has experience in the Champions League. Although there is still hope for Newcastle, because their gap points very close, but I personally also doubt that Newcastle can get full points in the next two matches. Especially in the match against PSG, there is a high possibility PSG can win in that match considering that they will also be playing at home. But I want to see a surprise in that match, because previously they were able to win with a big score against PSG.

Though the difference between Newcastle who are bottom of the group F and the leaders of the group Borussia Dortmund is just three points, I think it'll be very difficult for the English Premier League club to progress out of the group and that's because of the kind of opponents they're gonna in the last two games of the group stage.
Their next fixture in the competition will be a visit to Paris Saint Germaine which I think they're very unlikely to get a minimum one point from that game before a home game against AC Milan who are also trying to make it to the round of 16.

[TelolettOm]

It looks like Milan still has a chance to qualify for the next round but it will be quite a difficult job when behind the scenes Milan's players have a little less consistency and in terms of performance strength they may be ready to compete but somehow I still enjoy it more if Dortmund are the candidates To qualify for the next round is a little difficult, but I'm just saying according to my opinion in terms of the performance of the players from several clubs in this group.

Yes, AC Milan still has a chance to qualify for the next round if they win all the remaining matches. Unfortunately, it is not only about the inconsistency in performance, they have a problem about the injury. There are some key players injured, including Leao and Pulisic. With the absence of these players, I personally doubt about the chance to win all the next matches.

Meanwhile, PSG currently has almost the same consistency as Milan, which is a bit erratic or less stable, but I'm not sure whether it will be able to compete with a more experienced club like Milan.

PSG condition is a bit better, they look more ready for the next matches. Although there are some players injured, but the most key players on the midfield and front line have no problem. With the current condition of PSG and AC Milan, I think PSG looks to have a better advantage to win the remaining matches.

The risk of being eliminated from the group stage is very high for the home team at Old Trafford right now. The loss to Copenhagen was also highlighted by the red card that striker Marcus Rashford received at the end of the first half of the match. The European Football Federation recently announced that officials in the tournament's Referee Committee will meet to decide on Rashford's punishment. He will have to sit out 2 to 3 matches. This is not good news for Man United. Rashford will sit out the next game. Rashford is still an important player for them. His absence is like a slap in the face to Man United fans. There will be no more hope for the fans when the decision to continue is currently in the hands of the representative from Denmark. Their efforts were just in vain.

Without a doubt it is hard but at the same time despite Newcastle being the last team on that group they still control their own destiny, if they could beat PSG then regardless of the result between Milan and Borussia Dortmund they will only need another win over Milan to make it to the next round, and while I agree this is unlikely this is way better than the situation of many other teams at this particular moment on the UCL, however any result other than a win on those two matches will basically spell the elimination of Newcastle.

Playing against a team like PSG can't be easy for any team and now we are going to have Newcastle playing against PSG while Newcastle needs to win the game and take the full three points from this match because in the four games Newcastle had so far in the group F, they got only four points which means one point per match and this is not good at all.
But Enrique knows they should not lose points in this match especially since they are playing at home in Parc des Princes.

I really admire the work Real Sociedad have done in Group D so far by the way. They have collected 10 points and they are the leading team as well in a group with teams like Inter and Benfica. I wasn't expecting Benfica to be this terrible of course before the group stage started. They just can't perform the same as they do in their domestic league. 

This has created an opportunity for Salzburg to move them out of their way to make it to the Europa League as well but let's see. There are still two more games for Benfica which can be seen as an opportunity to make it to the Europa League instead at least. But I can't trust them even as much as I do for Salzburg.

Yes they have done a good job so far in the Champions League group stages. They have confirmed themselves to be in the round of 16 with Inter Milan representing group D. In the last 2 matches they will play, they can be more relaxed because they can rotate players to anticipate things that are not desirable. Things like this are an advantage in itself, because they can breathe more in the midst of this very busy schedule.
La Liga is a bit of a struggle right now, which is inversely proportional to what they can do in the Champions League. The increased competition in La Liga is one of the causes in my opinion.

Real Sociedad sacrificed some games in the La Liga I'm afraid while they were trying to get maximum number of points in 4 games in the Champions League. Was it worth it? I think it was definitely. 

From now on they can concentrate on upcoming La Liga games easier to get better results. But they wouldn't just shift all of their focus there of course. They would try to qualify as the leader in the Champions League as well. But I don't feel like they will make it considering the last game is away against Inter.

They sacrificed La Liga games? How did they do that or where did you find that our or read that? I think I missed any public statement from the Real Sociedad coach where he said that they will be sacrificing La Liga games for the Champions League. This seems to be a new thing then because I never heard of any team that sacrificed league games at the start of the season to win the group games in the Champions League. If you like please share a source where that has been confirmed by Real Sociedad.

The international break was really giving bad impact to the club. I know that this is one of how players were dedicating themselves to their beloved countries but there are many bad news have come. Just like this



This can become a loss for barcelona since he was injured. I don't really know when he was injured, but this is also giving bad impact to the barcelona. The club is still having two important matches remaining. Missing him will be also giving big impact to the club as there was no someone who capable enough to guarding the goal net. The international breaks were giving unnecessary injured.

The same thing is also happening to the vini from real madrid as well. Will ter stegen able to play next week? Let's see. Naglesmann has sent off him back to the club.

Real Sociedad did an extraordinary job in the group phase where they were able to lead the standings in group D.
So for Benfica, who appeared quite impressive in the Champions League last season, but this season it looks like they will fall early because they didn't manage to win a single win. They don't even have a chance to catch up with Real Sociedad and Inter Milan who are currently at the top of the standing. Group D already belongs to Real sociedad and Inter Milan to qualify for the round of 16 and they are only competing to qualify as group winners. Indeed, in the domestic league Real sociedad is not in good enough condition because they are outside the top 4 in fact they are already 6 points behind Atletico Madrid who are in the top 4.

Atletico Madrid also showed their best quality in the group phase by successfully leading group E. Even if we look at the 4 representatives from Laliga, they performed well in the Champions League by successfully leading the standing in the group they were part of. Maybe for the top 16 all 4 representatives from Laliga will qualify and they have the most delegates to be able to dominate the Champions League again this season.

Actually, Barcelona is in a group that is quite profitable for him because in Group H there is no team stronger than him, so the possibility of qualifying for Barcelona is very big even though FC Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk can win in the next match. Because in the last match in this group stage, Barcelona could have won more easily at home to Royal Antwerp, which so far does not have a single point in group H. So Barcelona's chances of qualifying for the next round in the Champions League are clearly quite big for him.

Champions are for the best teams and watching Barcelona performance, they're presently in good shape and winning happens to be their priority. Group H is too easy for the Blaugrana this season, what barrier could hold them from not qualifying to the next phase? Except they decline in performance and having zero winnings in next two games. Xavi Hernandez is not willing to take such risks, rather he's keen on moving to significant phase in UCL. Barcelona sit in balance position to qualify from group H table this season. They have the necessary good quality players and they're absolutely ready to take on opposition.

Talking about who will be champion this season is really not important to talk about at this time, because there are still many strong candidates out there..

Barcelona must win one more match to ensure they qualify for the grub phase because there is a possibility that Shakhtar Donetsk will be ahead, because Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto are able to provide resistance for Barcelona, of course Xavi Hernandez is able to provide this victory to advance to the next round.

There are still 2 matches remaining, these teams still have the potential to get full points. For me, the 2 teams that will qualify from this group are Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan. The next matchday will determine which teams have great potential to advance to the next round.

If in the end Milan can complete their journey to the round of 16, then that will really be something very enjoyable. PSG and Milan have the chance to qualify if they are able to beat Dortmund, but anything can happen, even PSG still has the potential to fail to advance to the round of 16 this season.

I'm not completely ignoring Newcastle's chances, but I have to admit that Newcastle are not favorites to qualify even though they managed to beat PSG in their previous match. I hope PSG can get their revenge in the home game against Newcastle, so that will definitely disqualify them for the Europa League and or completely wipe out their hopes in Europe this season.

AC Milan will face Borussia Dortmund on the next UCL matchday, this match will also be a home match for them which makes them have a greater chance of getting 3 points. Apart from that, bookies also show that AC Milan is the favorite to win with odds @ 1.95 on the 1X2 bet. If they really win the match, they will be in second place in Group F or could even be top of the standings if Paris Saint-Germain is unable to get full points when facing Newcastle.

This group was the group of death to me because almost all the teams in this group are good.Newcastke is so unfortunate to be in this kind of group in their first time of qualifying for champions league after a long while.I am surprised for Dortmund,that they are the people topping the group,but I'm still feeling that PSG will get eliminated with Newcastle in this group because the last game they played against Milan,I thought they were going to win,I was surprised that Milan still won them.It simply means that PSG is no longer the way it used to be when Neymar and Messi were still in the team,althought they didn't get to the final of the competition any time,but they were always a threat to teams because of the stars in the team.

This year's Champions League has become quite competitive. Bayern Munich  and Manchester City have  very strong squads. And they  are consistently playing well. In addition,  Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Real  Sociedad Atlético  Madrid and Inter Milan  have performed very well. The four La Liga teams Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico  Madrid and Sociedad have played well and will  surely qualify for the knockout rounds. City, Munich and  Madrid are considered to be the  favorites for this year's title. However  the road to qualifying for the Champions League final will not be easy for them.

But a lot of things can happen until these games for the knockout round finally begin. For teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich it is incredibly important that the key players stay healthy. It would really change a lot for one of those teams if for example Harry Kane gets injured or Bellingham gets injured. I think Manchester City, due to having so many midfielders with offensive potential, would be most able to have a plan in case Haaland is injured. For Bayern Munich it would be tough and for Real Madrid Bellingham is also irreplaceable.

You are right, Manchester City is dependent on Haaland, Munich is dependent on Kane's performance and Madrid is now dependent on Bellingham's performance. And if these players suffer injuries in the knockout round, it will become much more difficult for the teams to qualify for the quarter finals. Because almost every team in the knockout round will be strong. So it will be much more difficult to win without a full strength squad. However, if clubs are not too unlucky their key players will not suffer injuries. Because Kane, Bellingham and Haaland are all fit enough.

[rendravolt]

The previous landslide victory against Celtic put Atletico in first place in Group E with 8 points. However, this will not guarantee that they can qualify easily because the competition is still open with two other teams, namely Lazio and Feyenoord, who have collected 7 and 6 points respectively. These three teams each have a difference of 1 to 2 points and the remaining two matches will determine the fate of these three teams to qualify for the round of 16.

In my opinion, Atletico is still the favorite to qualify considering they are in the top 16 of the Champions League and maybe in second place we will see an exciting competition between Lazio and Feyenoord. Actually I prefer Feyenoord to qualify with Atletico, but sometimes Lazio's mentality in this competition cannot be underestimated and they have a good defense. So, I hope there will be surprises in group E later which will be no less exciting than the other groups.

Although Bayan Munich does not have injury problems, Manchester City has injury problems because of this, Manchester City is now very dependent on Haaland. But I wouldn't say that Real Madrid only depends on Jude Bellingham, although this midfielder regularly scores goals for Real Madrid, but along with him, there are several other star players in attacking positions who play important roles for Real Madrid. Kevin De Bruyne is one of Manchester City's key players but has been sidelined since the start of the season due to injury, meaning that the onus has fallen on Haaland in his absence. Haaland's performance seems to be slightly weaker than last season, the only reason being Kevin De Bruyne's injury. Kevin De Bruyne is great at assisting other players in the team to score goals which is why everyone else in the team gets goals. With Kevin De Bruyne back from injury, Manchester City will be a stronger team and Haaland will be more attacking.
