UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

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.

Bayern Munich are the type of team that will always collect every point deem fit to be collected even if they have qualified for the next round of the competition. Copenhagen is a fighter but in this match they have no chance to win the game. Football is a very unpredictable game and anything can happen in this match but we can’t give them the full hope of winning this game because Bayern Munich is a stronger and better team than Copenhagen who are still amateurs in this competition without much experience about the game as Bayern Munich. This is not a much anticipated game as that of Manchester United versus Galatasaray which is very hard to decide the winner in that game.

PSG's probability is higher than Newcastle in the fifth matchday match. both based on betting odds, and as the home team. apart from that, if we refer to their performance in their respective domestic leagues. In the first meeting, for me it was purely Enrique's mistake when developing his tactics and strategy.
Currently, PSG is playing their match against Monaco and three points is the result they must get. plus, motivating when Paris Saint Germain hosts Newcastle in the fifth matchday meeting of the Champions League group phase.

In fact, this match will be a real challenge for Newcastle as the away team, they will try to go all out to get full points at the Parc des Princess. not an easy match, especially technically and tactically, I think PSG is much better. If Newcastle fails, it means they will be eliminated in this group phase. in the other match in the Group E phase, it will be no less exciting and interesting. Dortmund and AC Milan will both be fighting each other to win in order to determine their chances of progressing to the next phase.

PSG is the favorite team to secure victory when they face Newcastle United. On paper the squads of these two teams are very different because PSG has many star players in their team while for Newcastle United they are not in their best form because of defeats in the domestic league and also lost in the Champions League when they faced Dortmund. So their decline in performance will make it difficult for Newcastle United to face PSG. Even though in the first leg Newcastle United was able to beat PSG with a score of 4-1, this second leg will make it quite difficult for Newcastle United to be able to repeat what they did in the first leg.

I think for group F the results of the 5th match this week will make these 4 teams determine their fate to be the best and strengthen them to qualify for the round of 16. PSG and Dortmund are currently quite favorites to qualify for the next round because these two teams have so far been quite strong compared to the opponents they have faced this week.

I would laugh like crazy if Barcelona failed to qualify for the third year in a row, but unfortunately the likelihood of this is low. But there is an equally interesting option: Porto beats Barcelona and takes first place, and Barcelona takes second place and ends up with Bayern in the 1/8 and we are seeing a classic beating confrontation 

I will just say you’re big hater of Barcelona because this wishes are too much on them. Imagine having to have them finish group runner up and then the draw comes off as Barca against Bayern Munich, i would just advice Barca then to fogey about the next around after that. But nonetheless the Bayern Munich club are not close to perfection as we have them during Robben and Ribery era, so I doubt if it will be humiliating as before. But the encounter will always be thrilling.

Napoli is going to play soon against Real Madrid this is going to be definitely a hard match for them to beat a team like Real Madrid. Napoli can hope to earn some points from this match because after the performance they had with Rudi Garcia in this season, Napoli is using another coach and that's a good chance for him to prove himself.
Also, Napoli's CEO, Aurelio De Laurentiis, was usually watched the Napoli game when the team was playing away but because of the meniscus repair surgery, he will be absent.

PSG is the favorite team to secure victory when they face Newcastle United. On paper the squads of these two teams are very different because PSG has many star players in their team while for Newcastle United they are not in their best form because of defeats in the domestic league and also lost in the Champions League when they faced Dortmund. So their decline in performance will make it difficult for Newcastle United to face PSG. Even though in the first leg Newcastle United was able to beat PSG with a score of 4-1, this second leg will make it quite difficult for Newcastle United to be able to repeat what they did in the first leg.

I think for group F the results of the 5th match this week will make these 4 teams determine their fate to be the best and strengthen them to qualify for the round of 16. PSG and Dortmund are currently quite favorites to qualify for the next round because these two teams have so far been quite strong compared to the opponents they have faced this week.

I think that PSG under the coaching of Luis Enrique they have really united and Mbappe has again found his best form with his contribution through the goals he has scored so far. In the Champions League, PSG has bigger targets under Luis Enrique coaching because PSG has changed coaches in order to win the UCL trophy and this season they have a coach who has impressive experience in the Champions League. So in the match against Newcastle United of course PSG will try their best to beat Newcastle United and also this match will be a revenge match for their defeat in the first leg.

For Luis Enrique he has quite a strong strength in his team and if he fails then he really not be able to utilize the best qualities of his players. The matches in the Champions League are always quite exciting, especially in the group phase because the 4 teams still have a chance so they will play better than what they have shown in the domestic league. PSG also performed impressively in today match where they were able to beat Monaco and that will make them confident enough to be able to take their revenge on Newcastle United.

Newcastle does have the lowest points compared to the other teams in Group F, but I think they still have a chance to qualify for the next round. In the match against PSG, they will indeed play as guests and maybe this will be a tough fight for them considering that so many players are injured but if we look at the results of their first meeting, I think Newcastle still has a chance to win this match.

I never claimed that Newcastle will have no chance. Newcastle still has the chance but it looks like a very small chance. If Newcastle squad is in a good condition, I will no doubt to say Newcastle to have a chance winning the match against PSG away. But the current condition of Newcastle squad looks very unconvincingly, many of their players are injured, especially for the attackers. So, even if Newcastle has quality players, it will be useless if they can't play in the match.

This is will be difficult for Newcastle. A must win is not guaranteed for them. Because their opponent wants to win as well, only with those magical moments in football where the unexpected happens is where we can see Newcastle play in the next UCL round.

Yes, Newcastle must win the next match if they want to keep the dream to qualify for the next round. Sadly, it seems very difficult due to the injury problem. Moreover, it is true that PSG will play all out to secure their position in the top 2 of the table. They won't give the chance for Newcastle to steal any point.

After the first game in this group between PSG and Newcastle, everybody thought they were going to qualify easily because they had a very good performance against PSG who we all know to be one of the biggest teams in Europe.But they later dropped form to the extent of being at the bottom of the table,and everyone is seeing them as the side that will be eliminated from the group stage,while Dortmund that I thought were not going to qualify from that group are currently topping it.It is true that Newcastle's performance dropped rapidly because they haven't been doing well in the premier league too,maybe because they are involved in so many competition,and they use almost thesame players in all those games.However,I don't see them qualifying from this group.

It would seem to me that Newcastle simply does not have the roster depth needed to face both competitions, and it could possibly be a good idea for them to give up on the UCL as their chances to make it to the next round are very low, however this is not going to be easy, as players at that level love to compete and without a doubt the UCL is the best club tournament around the world, and giving up even if the right decision would probably not sit well with the players.

[Oluwa-btc]

Lets see how Newcastle come back from this international break, they are a very good team, the issue they have this last times were they are short on players so they started to feel really tired, and this impact so much in their performance, with this break some players can rest so lets see if they can turn the tide.

You got to see the game from Paris Saint Germans? If you did, you'll see hat they're more than ready for Newcastle United. They stand no chance against Paris Saint Germans. This is a game that Luis Enrique will not gamble or joke about. Kylian Mbappe and Ousman Dembele both scored tonight to help go over the top of the league standing.

I'm expecting same two to three goals when Paris Saint Germans host the visitors Newcastle United. Newcastle cannot even win against Chelsea tommorow and they expect a win against PSG? Thats a very big joke!
Newcastle have got to be the very first team that will be knocked out of Group F. The group of hell now seems predictable as the group stage gets to an end.

Does this mean we have to eliminate Newcastle here? And the chances of qualifying for the next round are between Milan, Dortmound and PSG? I think it's too early to predict Newcastle will lose. Newcastle has much better goal statistics than Chelsea with 27 goals and 13 goals conceded. They still have a chance to qualify for the next round and although I admit it will be very difficult because of the equal strength in each club from group F.

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.

Group F is very interesting to talk about because all clubs still have a chance of qualifying, but Group H is no less interesting, but we can see for sure that Antwerp will not qualify for the round of 16 and the European league, but yes, there are still 3 contenders. still has a chance of qualifying for the next round and in the 5th match in the champions league Barcelona will face Porto and Shaktar with Antwerp which is clear that Shaktar will win the match and have 9 points which means these 3 clubs have the same points and if Barcelona loses the match Later, against Porto, Barcelona's chances will be smaller to qualify and to be honest, I'm a little doubtful about Barcelona's current performance because Barcelona's key players are injured so Barcelona can only rely on the remaining players, especially Lewandowski, so I think Porto will have a good chance. in the next match even though they are playing away.

If Barcelona or Porto fail to qualify from the group phase then that would be the most surprising, and I think it is impossible to happen, and in fact if Barcelona and Porto only draw in the last two matches Shakhtar will still be behind on points so I see there will be no surprises in this group, unless Barcelona or Porto play so badly that they suffer two defeats in their last two matches, but the chance of that happening is very small, that's why Group F is still the most difficult group to predict which team will qualify because all four of them still have the same chance, unlike Group H, where even though Shakhtar has a chance, its fate is very much determined by the bad results of the two teams above them.
Indeed, Barcelona's defeat against Shakhtar was very surprising, but Porto will certainly will not follow in Barcelona's footsteps because they will see the match against Shakhtar as the final opportunity to qualify because beating Barcelona is not an easy job.

Man, don't let the Barcelona vs Bayern Munich meeting happen again, it will definitely be very painful for Blaugrana fans.

I don't deny that this could happen because considering the possibility that it exists is still a mystery at this time and Barcelona doesn't want to face an opponent who brings back these bad memories. I actually don't want to think negatively about Barcelona and if they fail again and don't qualify from the group stage then they will create a hat trick as a team that has never qualified for 3 consecutive seasons. Well, let's just see what will happen later and surely the surprise will be much more pleasant than the results we have known for a long time.

Napoli can hope to earn some points from this match because after the performance they had with Rudi Garcia in this season, Napoli is using another coach and that's a good chance for him to prove himself.

It is not only a difficult match for Napoli players, but Real Madrid players also will feel the same. If we look at the current condition of Real Madrid squad, I think Napoli squad is in much better condition. Real Madrid has too many injured players, there are 7 injured players. Sadly, all the injured players are the key players. Vinicius, Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, and Kepa seem to be unavailable for the next match. In my opinion, Napoli will get the advantage with Real Madrid situation. I guess, Napoli will have a higher chance to win the match.

Also, Napoli's CEO, Aurelio De Laurentiis, was usually watched the Napoli game when the team was playing away but because of the meniscus repair surgery, he will be absent.

The absence of Napoli CEO won't bring a significant impact. The CEO won't have a big role to control Napoli game. The coach is the man who will have the biggest role in the match. Since the coach will be among the players, I think the absence of the CEO will bring no impacts.

 The international break of the UCL competition begins with a match between Lazio and Celtic.  Even though it's not as interesting as the matches in other groups imao Lazio who are currently not  playing optimally in the domestic league can still show their existence in the group because their opponents can still reach out with the strength they have.  As a dark horse club Lazio is not yet fully able to compete with other European clubs who choose to be  more advanced.  Celtic who couldn't do much could easily have given up their ticket to a  more appropriate club in Group E the potential for failure at the start was  already a risk they only  managed to collect 1 point from 4 matches in the UCL which is clearly a bad result.  So Lazio can take advantage of  this opportunity with a very wide point difference with Atletico Madrid only 1 point if they are successful in this match Lazio occupies the temporary standings in Group E.

Its not surprising that Lazio will be favored by bookmakers even though their domestic league performance is inconsistent, but I won't mix domestic performance with UCL because it will definitely be very different and all the teams in the UCL group will definitely prioritize the matches here to perform optimally in each match while Celtic are currently experiencing poor form in the UCL despite looking very strong in the domestic league but this all means nothing.
I mean, even though Celtic is performing very well in the domestic league, in terms of performance it seems like they are not ready to compete with other teams in the UCL and in fact from the early stages until now they have only had 1 point. so it is very likely that Lazio will beat Celtic a little easily even though the score is narrow and Lazio odds are quite good.

I agree, I'm being neutral here, which means I don't support Barcelona nor do I hate them. They have a great chance of making it out of the group, in fact I'd say they're the most likely team to make it through compared to the other teams in the same group. Even if they can't win the group, then the runnerup position is also enough for them to ensure 1 ticket to go to the knockout stages of the Champions League this season.

I can't take Newcastle for granted, in the Premier League or the Champions League. Although they may be at the bottom of group F, they still have a chance to qualify even though their chances are quite small to do so, but still, chances are chances and we cannot say they have no chance at all. They don't have enough experience in the Champions League, which ultimately makes it difficult for them to compete, especially since they are in the most difficult group. But until match 4 they still have a chance, that means they can still provide resistance.

Personally, I'm no longer rooting for them to move to the next round besides they have unsolved Injury cases and they won't be with the same force they had when they first faced Ac Milan and won that game against league 1 giants Paris Saint Germans. Newcastle will be knocked out, I'm certain and we'll have to wait until the very end to see who qualifies between AC Milan and Borrussia Dortmund.
AC Milan head coach knows what's at stake, he was dumped out of the Champions League last season and is following dame path, he may likely lose his job if he doesn't qualifies.

I feel like Paris Saint Germans would take the top and tue second place has to be between ( Ac Milan ans Borrussia Dortmund )

Newcastle's performance began to decline due to several of its players suffering injuries. I also no longer think the Magpies will be a dark horse in this year's edition of the tournament and realistically they are still very likely to be eliminated in the Europa League playoffs instead of falling to the bottom of the group standings. But even so, I still praise Eddy Howe's performance while managing that team.

[Jody.Drummer]

There are only 2 clubs that until the 4th match they always win, there are Bayern Munich in group A and there are Real Madrid in group C. These two clubs are certain to be in the round of 16 because the points they have are completely safe and will no longer make them displaced to 3rd place in the standings. An advantage for them, because with the certainty they have passed it means that in the remaining matches there is no longer a burden, they are just waiting for their match in the knockout round later. They can use it to rotate players so that the players can be in shape when the knockout rounds later.

[QueenVera]

There is a real possibility that United could be fully gone, they could finish the group fourth place as well. They are going to play against Galatasaray, who they lost to before at their home game, so it wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world to lose to them at away game too, and they are going to play Bayern as well, which they could definitely lose too.

That is a possibility and could happen, Galatasaray will play both, and if they win United and tie Copenhagen, and Copenhagen loses to Bayern and ties Galatasaray, that means United will be fourth and gone. I am not saying this will happen, there is of course still a chance that they could go up, but that doesn't mean that they may not as well, there is a very real possibility that they could be fourth and gone, and that's not good for them at all.

United's Champions League display has made them prone to disqualification, they've not been able to meet their contest objectives and they've been lacking points too, their next game against Galatasaray looks threatening because at the moment, they're a less better team than Galatasaray and after which, they'd play Bayern Munich which is certainly going to be another loss for them.

 It's so sad because now they won't even get the chance to switch to the Europa League and they'll be left to battle our their domestic league game, only if Manchester United as a team would work on themselves, and make efforts to righting the errors that they're faced with, only then will they stand a chance of even coming up a bit but its likely too late for them as it concerns their UCL contest, their corrections and work should be put in place ahead of their league game.
