UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

We are too busy talking about group F and forget that group H is also an interesting group. As we know, Barcelona lost against Shakhtar and that also dashed Barcelona's hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 early. Now Barcelona and Porto have the same 9 points and this will be an exciting competition considering that anyone can win the group with two matches remaining.

However, that's actually not the main point, but Shakhtar, who currently has 6 points, could shift one of the places at the top of Group H because they will play Antwerp (who obviously didn't qualify) and they will definitely get 3 additional points. After that Shakstar will play Porto in the last match and if they do well then Shakstar will collect 12 points. Barcelona and Porto must be careful if they don't want to lose their current place.

Barcelona will definitely quality, they failed to pay attention and focus on the last game they played against Shakhtar Donetsk, not even equalizing was achieved in that game and that sucked. Most of them fans continued bashing and lashing out at Robert Lewandoski for not being able to help them score goals, but I ask how many of them players create chances for him to score?
Xavi Hernandez needs to communicate sense into some of these young lads, they lack respect when playing with them elders. Why shoot the ball when you have a clear opportunity of passing that will definitely lead to goal. I'm certain they'll come first in that group.

Shakhtar Donetsk are doing well, qualifications to the knock out round can only happen with a miracle. They fail to do so amd they're back in the Europa League Competition.

[Minecache]

Indeed, in group F now the atmosphere is simply tense.
Milan will not have an easy game and perhaps they will be defeated by Borussia and this will be a shift to last position and perhaps they will remain penultimate in the group. A miracle is needed for Milan fans.

Group F is the most competitive group in UCL this season. All the teams in group F are strong teams.
Actually, it is still difficult to predict which team to win in the upcoming matches. I think AC Milan still has a chance to win against Dortmund. Although their performance is decreasing lately and they lost some main players due to injury problem, but they are still a big team. Dortmund also seems to have no their main goalkeeper in the upcoming match because he is injured. So, it is not impossible if AC Milan can defeat Dortmund in the next match. In addition, Rafael Leão is predicted to be available for the match against Dortmund. He is predicted to recover in November, 28. It is a day before the upcoming match.

The problem with this group is that almost all the teams are unpredictable. so you cannot predict how the teams are going to perform on that given day. I did not have much expectations from a few teams in this group. Especially I did not have much hope for Dortmund. But they definitely proved me wrong and are now at the top of the table. So it is definitely unpredictable. Part of it is because the teams are not consistent. In some matches, they do well in but they really shouldn't be,, in the other matches they perform badly when they shouldn’t be.

[wiss19]

Every team in Group F has a chance to qualify for the Round of 16. And the team that plays well and wins in the last two matches will qualify for round of 16. In the next match, AC Milan will play against Dortmund, and PSG will play against Newcastle. If Milan and PSG can win their home matches, I'd say both teams will qualify for the round of 16. Because Newcastle and Dortmund teams are not weak but their performance is quite erratic. However, my favorites in Group F are Milan and PSG. Looking forward to see how these two teams perform in their next match.

Yes, all the teams have the chance to win but it seems Newcastle to have very small chance. Newcastle must win all the remaining matches to have a good chance to qualify for the next round. Sadly, there are too many injured players on Newcastle squad, so it is a big obstacle that makes them probably difficult to give their best performance. The upcoming matches surely will be the crucial matches, which teams to win the matches will have bigger chance to qualify for the next round. Since PSG and AC Milan will play at home, I can agree that they are the favorite to win the matches. If both of them win the upcoming matches, no doubt PSG and AC Milan probably qualify for the knock-out round.

After having impressive start of their first campaign in years now suddenly things are going badly down last two defeats bring them to the bottom and now with many issues and injuries they are going to face PSG which is surely not good because this defeat will bring them in more trouble in this campaign and PSG will have advantage for their spot in next round they will have last game against Dortmund in Germany and Newcastle United having their last game against AC Milan at home with both teams are currently at same level injuries and suspension of players creating problem for them.

In case of wins for AC Milan and PSG in this round we will have just three teams for the qualification and Newcastle United will be having exit from Champions League, but doors could be open for them to jump into UEFA Europa League.

the situation in group F was indeed the most tense. The results for this group will depend on the last two matches, each team certainly doesn't want to make mistakes and is working hard for a direct ticket to the last 16 of the Champions League.
Dortmund is currently at the top of the other teams. but the situation could change if they lose the remaining matches. the situation in group F is very difficult to predict. because all teams clearly don't want to lose in the race for places.

In match 5 I think we will at least have a bright spot about who will be able to qualify even though it must be confirmed again until the last match in the group phase to know this but indeed a Hell group like this is definitely an interesting treat because in the end this is what we all expect in the Champions League even in the group phase.

Their probability of qualifying is also still very much there now it's just that for something like that there needs to be action especially to get 3 points in this 5th match because it can make a difference in points that can be profitable only in this 5th match whoever the losing club is then the possibility will be reduced to qualify especially if it is Milan and Newcastle.

[redsun114]

I never thought that Napoli were favorites for the Champions League. This team played very well last season, and this season their performance is not weak. Still, a stronger squad is needed if they want to win the Champions League title. They lost against Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage match. Napoli shared the points in the home match against Union Berlin. If they perform like this, they will not be able to qualify even for the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, for the Champions League, I consider Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid to be the favorites this season. Compared to these teams, Napoli is far behind.

Napoli become really different after Spalletti left and Osimhen is injured, they're going back become a mediocre club. Napoli is nothing more than a lucky club where they can perform really good only for one season.

While Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, both of them always consistent and able to enter quarter finals regardless the result is.

Agreed about this all things are going down badly with change of coach can bring some improvement but still it's not going to enough for having spot into last for their performance in Serie A is also down and in last few games they are suffering badly even their chances are high for the round of 16, but after this nothing is predictable Victor Osimhen is also not good as he was in last season and few more changes are expected in coming transfer window which can give them setback.

We have few teams which are at the top for the title and having spots into last four even still upsets and surprises are expected because these are beauty of the Champions League and without surprises having end of any season is also not entertaining.

Dortmund is currently at the top of the other teams. but the situation could change if they lose the remaining matches. the situation in group F is very difficult to predict. because all teams clearly don't want to lose in the race for places.

In the remaining two matches, the four clubs have the ambition to beat each other, regardless of the situation each of them is facing in domestic competition. Each club chances of qualifying for the round of 16 depend on each other, which makes it difficult to predict the final result of this Group F match. Their previous matches can no longer be used as a full benchmark, because the international break has created a different feel for all clubs.

Apart from that, betting on Group F participant matches is also very risky, and it is also necessary to avoid betting on clubs that are guaranteed to qualify. However, what would be most painful would be if PSG failed to progress to the next stage, because they have such good squad depth, on the other hand, so far Enrique squad has never drawn in the previous four group phase matches. It is indeed correct to say that this group is the hell group for this edition of UCL.

[Spaceman1000$]

We are too busy talking about group F and forget that group H is also an interesting group. As we know, Barcelona lost against Shakhtar and that also dashed Barcelona's hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 early. Now Barcelona and Porto have the same 9 points and this will be an exciting competition considering that anyone can win the group with two matches remaining.

However, that's actually not the main point, but Shakhtar, who currently has 6 points, could shift one of the places at the top of Group H because they will play Antwerp (who obviously didn't qualify) and they will definitely get 3 additional points. After that Shakstar will play Porto in the last match and if they do well then Shakstar will collect 12 points. Barcelona and Porto must be careful if they don't want to lose their current place.

Anything can still happen, both Barcelona and Porto need to maximize in their last 2 matches, or at least win 1 more match to ensure they are in the last 16 and qualify from this group.
Shakthar is really worrying for the two clubs above them, because once I 2 clubs make a mistake, then they will be punished by Shaktar. They must be really focused if they want 1 ticket in their hands.
With this kind of competition, it's very interesting for me and I'm looking forward to their last 2 matches. Will there be any surprises?

Group H seem like an open group to me seeing FC Porto and FC Barcelona on same points and the shakthar in third place makes it even more interesting, all eyes are going to be on this group and I also suspect that between Barcelona and Porto one might loose their chance of qualifying if either of them drops point in their last two games in the champions league group stage.

[doomloop]

In general, I'm also surprised that they are in last place, but this is a common situation for underdogs - sometimes they can soar much higher than average, and sometimes they can fall just as much. If they didn’t have such volatility, they would be almost top clubs. However, they still have the opportunity to bypass Salzburg and get into the Europa League.

There is no doubt about this Benfica is the biggest shocking team in this season but overall we have no good performance from the other two Portugal teams as well with just Porto having some chances for going into round of the 16 Braga is also having not good performance as they are going to host Union Berlin which is at the bottom, but this win can bring them near to jump with last game is against Napoli in Italy.

Porto is having some advantage as they will visit Barcelona for the next game, and then they have at home against Shakhtar which is also going to have 3 points which will bring them to level with Porto and last game could be final for the both winner will in round of 16 and loser will be in Europa Cup with most chances Porto can go through.

[Volgastallion]

For me the best groups to see are gonna be the group A, to see if Manchester United can recover in Istanbul or if they go to Europa League, Group B can be interesting , sevilla plays his last coin, and if they win the last round can be fire.

And group E and F, are gonna be very good to see also.

Group F is a group that is difficult to predict, and I consider this group to be the hell group because these four teams are great teams that have the same quality and squad.
And with each team still having the chance to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League, the remaining two matches in Group F will be very crucial to win and the remaining two matches will be very exciting and tense matches. And it is guaranteed that they will play very carefully and will also strengthen their defense because every team has the opportunity to score goals.

Thus, Shakhtar have had greater luck in their last two matches, of course, as you mentioned, Barcelona and Porto must be fully alert. Barcelona and Porto will face each other on matchday 5. If the two draw, Shakhtar will be very fortunate to narrow the points gap. I was quite surprised by the previous defeat of Xavi's squad, perhaps many of us lost their bets in that match, and their progress in qualifying for the round of 16 was delayed.

Barcelona, Porto and Shakhtar have made Antwerp their point barn, and even the remaining two matches in the future will be exploited again to smooth the steps of the three clubs. However, it could be that Antwerp becomes a stumbling block because it is too underestimated, and will make Shakhtar and Barcelona cry a little, because at UCL surprises often occur and are difficult to understand.

Nothing can really be predicted with certainty in this group because in Group F, every team at least has a chance to qualify. Although ya, of course there will always be a difference but unfortunately, the difference in chances for those in this group is not significant. Therefore, even though Dortmund is currently at the top of the standings but ya, in reality Dortmund still cannot be sure of qualifying for the round of 16. So yes, in essence this group is a difficult group because every team has a good effort too, of course to be able to finish in the top three.

Group H is still open for the top three clubs there to qualify for the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League, and it will last till match day 6 to decide the two clubs who will proceed to the last 16 because Barcelona and Porto, one of them must drop a point and if Shakhtar Donetsk wins against Antwerp, Shakhtar Donetsk will be on equal point with Barcelona or Porto, to take the fight to match day 6.

All team in group F looks like they all still have potentials to qualify for the next stage of sixteen if only they will be able to win their next two games. I have really wondered as my curiosity is now peaked about how the results for the next match will turn out

Especially with teams like Dortmund and PSG I have really wondered what will be of them, it seems group F had a pack of informed teams and so they all had to struggle their way in a situation that looks like the "the survivor of the fittest" but then I'm still very much optimistic about Dortmund and pSG winning their next match and qualifying to the next round of the competition but then they will both have to further improve because beyond the group stage is a tougher stage ahead.

Exactly, all the teams in group F are still in the running to get through and play in the round of 16. For Borussia Dortmund and PSG it might be enough to win the next match, however for Milan and Newcastle they are both forced to win the last two matches. I don't think that Milan can manage to achieve two victories in the last two matches because they have many important absences such as Leao Okafor loftus-cheek and kjaer, so I see it very tough for them

If one did followed up from onset on how the draws for this group was done, you will know that this his how this group is going to end up been when the matches in the group stage is already coming to an end. This is the most difficult group to predict from onset and it has happens just as many people thought about it. Newcastle United was the only team many people didn’t have much hope on but they later have all of us a change of mindset after beating PSG in their first leg match. Everyone still have a good chance to qualify but that will depend on how they play their remaining two matches that is left in the group stage.

I'm sure all fans will be entertained and looking forward to every match that happens in Group F.  No wonder we are eager to see the final result of the Group stage rather than other clubs that are quite predictable. Newcastle who want to repeat their victory will not be made easy by PSG players Enrique must have made an evaluation where the defense is easily penetrated by the opponent counterattack.  I don't expect PSG to submit again, playing at home should be a positive point in controlling the field.  At least in this important match PSG must be able to provoke the mentality of Newcastle players I mean PSG is quite familiar in the UCL competition so they only need to make the focus of Newcastle players waver.  A little hard play doesn't matter if it's needed.

The match in the first leg at Newcastle headquarters, for me, was a fatal mistake by the coach. Statistically, PSG dominated the match. and Newcastle play at their own headquarters, St James' Park. However, in that match, Newcastle was able to embarrass PSG. In another away match, Enrique and his squad lost again when they visited the San Siro. Even though their game was not as bad as in the match against Newcastle, as an experienced coach Enrique should have known very well what he would do in the next match and especially against Newcastle at the Parc des Princes, their own home.
For me PSG's game was not bad, unfortunately some players played unstable, especially the midfield. So, if in this match PSG loses at the Parc des Princes to Newcastle, it will be very embarrassing for them.

And therefore too, as you say. that Enrique will always evaluate the squad he cares for, not just referring to the match against Newcastle. On the contrary, this match will be a tough match for Newcastle. They will be under pressure when playing their match in France. Except, Eddie Howe's squad played with nothing to lose. thus, they would not experience great pressure. By the way, PSG should have won this match. Moreover, Newcastle suffered two defeats in two different events. Ahead of this match, Newcastle will be challenged by the Blues squad. If they lose, it will worsen their motivation when they visit PSG headquarters later.

There are only 8 days left for the really important match between Galatasaray and Manchester United in Turkey. Currently one of the bookmakers I saw is showing the odds like 2.50 to 2.60. Galatasaray are favoured to win the match by a slight gap of odds now. This points out how tense this match could be already. The latest match between them was just fantastic. Galatasaray performed amazingly despite playing in Old Trafford and got a legendary win for themselves which was important for their future in the group as well.

Manchester United haven't changed much when it comes to performance since then. A golden opportunity is on the table waiting to be taken by Galatasaray now.  

Galatasaray is in a very good position before this game, as even a draw will suit them, but for United, only a win will be an acceptable result. Theoretically, Galatasaray can play “for a draw”, forcing United to open up and give chances to score on counterattacks, on the other hand, United are so bad in defense that it might be reasonable to immediately play as number one and solve the issue of reaching the 1/8 right away in this game (hardly Copenhagen will win against Bayern).

About that Bayern Munich v Copenhagen matchup I wouldn't expect Copenhagen to win to tell the truth. I'm aware of the fact that Bayern Munich have even guaranteed qualifying for next stage as leader of the group.

However I don't expect them to just play badly or very complacently. I would expect some rotation in the lineup depending on their general fixture though. But it is still going to be played in Germany in the end. Bayern Munich wouldn't let 3 points slip through their hands just like that. But Copenhagen would do their best as they are quite a fighter in the group.

This group stage has come a long way to prove to us one more time that football is an unpredictable game and that is why,  even in the middle of all the discussions,  Newcastle United's current standing has become a surprise to many who have predicted them to have been kicked out of the champion leagues by now,  but with the result of the matches in recent time,  there is now a new hope for the Newcastle united squad to make some miracles happen for them that will change everything for Newcastle united.

Most of the clubs in the same group as Newcastle United seem to be more stronger than United like AC Milan and PSG but just as luck was on their side to have won Evaton in the first leg of the Match in the season,  it shows the level of possibility in the coming games for Newcastle United.
