UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Man i think this is nearly to immposible, but yes if Barcelona failed again for third time in a row to reach the round of 16 they really need to start lloking for a witch, because it seems like a Messi cursed. This year Uefa give thems the most easy group of the history.

I think and really hope that Barcelona is almost at the finish line towards the 1/8 finals. There are a couple of games left that are not that difficult, you just need to put in a little effort and you're done. The most important thing is not to lose points. Barça has every chance.

Newcastle in today’s match played very well and managed to beat Chelsea 4-1, felt like an easy way and they might now hope to win the next upcoming match in UCL, the only issue they had this edition is a matter of luck on the group they are playing against now is full of good teams in UCL pot.
Newcastle, In my opinion they should focus a bit on champions league and do better performance to compete against strong teams.
Champions league been always another story even for big players and teams in general, it’s a whole different competition which lead to unexpected performance from the teams.

The Chelsea was the odd and expected to win in the today game,but the game was totally changed with the people opinion because of the Newcastle.Even my friend had bet on the Chelsea for the impressive game in the recent matches.But we need to accept the fact the Newcastle also had the good luck today.But some fan of Newcastle also claim it was not because of the luck,because they had win the match with 4-1 in this match.So how it's claim the match win by the luck,it was claimed the win because of the full performance by the Newcastle players.The future of the Newcastle was huge and they need to build more stronger to continue their win in the league.

Many people are disappointing the performance from chelsea. The gameplay becomes worst when it was entering the second half. The blunder from thiago silave was making everything become the worst. Shall pochettino try to replace silva at this moment?
Pochettino shall do that caused by silva is old enough right now. Losing huge margins against newcastle is very bad. People are now starting to assume chelsea was lucky enough against manchester city.
This is the worst game i have ever seen since the starting of season. This one is even worst compared when chelsea being destroyed by westham at the early season.
Pochettino needs to do some changes or chelsea will stay at the same place till the end of season. the blues potentially to go down again after it was able maintaining its position.

Newcastle have just been inconsistent in the recent times. Otherwise they have been doing quite an impressive work for 2 seasons despite not having a squad filled with world star players. I mean they are very rich now. They are one of the richest teams in Europe you know. But despite finishing the Premier League in top 4 previously they are still unable to bring much bigger players to the team.

The work they have done in the Champions League so far isn't that bad either. I didn't like their performance only against Dortmund. If they were more stable with their effort then maybe they would have collected more points there.

Newcatle United have not made extraordinary improvements by recruiting many quality players and they are not unlikely to make significant changes by completely changing the way they recruit players like other teams have done. In the transfer market last summer newcastle united bought tonali for a big price and broke the club record transfer and that was a pretty good thing they did. For this week match, Newcastle will face PSG, which will certainly be a difficult opponent for Newcastle United.

This season Champions League is the best season for Newcastle United if they can qualify for the next round because they have been absent for a long time in the Champions League and when they return they are in the Hell group. If Howe can get Newcastle United through to the round of 16, I think Newcastle United management will make big improvements in the winter transfer window. Their efforts are to recruit good quality players to become their goal machines.

Silva’s mistake led to a missed goal, a missed pass and that’s it.
Silva gave an interview and took full responsibility for losing this match. But you shouldn't blame him alone. The whole club is to blame for this. The outcome of the game does not depend on one player but on the entire team.

Things were actually going well for Chelsea. They couldn't understand how it suddenly changed. When they conceded 2 goals in 2 minutes, the entire team was disrupted and they were helpless against Newcastle. After receiving a red card, they fell out of the game and conceded the fourth goal. Chelsea is a team full of big surprises. You never know what they will do.

Here we can conclude that Chelsea is a weak team in spirit. Instead of trying to even out the score, they simply began to prepare for defeat. And the red card simply finished off their fortune. They need to work at it and they will succeed!

Yes, Newcastle has the money, at least to a reasonable extent that they can buy players, yet you can't blame them for trying to pocket most of it, as winning is important, making money and conserving as much as possible is also important, just like how Dortmund does. The side effect of this is at times when the trusted players don't live up to the expectations, there are times they will perform beyond expectations too. So, I don't blame clubs anymore for not buying big names, you can use the cases of Man U and Chelsea to judge why, at times it's not the star of the player but the quality and how the player is determined to deliver. Besides, I've always known that Newcastle can not deliver when it comes to UCL and I didn't expect them to displace Dortmund in UCL who has the experience of the tournament more than them.

This is not the entire yardstick to judge, regardless, the Newcastle of last season is not the same as this season, even before the last season ended their feats have been dwindling if you noticed. They were however impressive yesterday, I never knew they could beat Chelsea powerlessly like that. Most importantly, Chelsea doesn't have any excuses as the game was balanced with 1-1 in the first half but Newcastle was obviously better in the second half and only scored one goal more after Chelsea's red card, so no excuse for the blues. But still, this can't tell of what happens in the UCL, I don't think Newcastle can go farther than they are, and I expect AC Milan to still beat them overall when they meet.

I was surprised at the outcome of the game yesterday between Newcastle and Chelsea and then I kept asking myself if it was thesame Newcastle that are experiencing some players deficiency too, Chelsea's condition is more or less as that of Manchester United, players in the team but no result, kudos to Newcastle for their big deed, ìt really says a lot about them, they shouldn't be looked down on, they shouldn't be underestimated, even in their downtime, they can still reduce to the lowest any team they wish to reduce.

Chelsea played woefully, it was depressing to watch them play but Newcastle kept the zeal, who knows what they'd display in the Champions League, there's every possibility that they can still give out a shocking outcome to the football community, I believe that they'd compete to the last and even if they're to fail in advancing, they'd end their race with big honour, they still have a number of actions for the EPL, and it'll be really beautiful to watch them conquer another big team.

Newcastle is coming back again with its true form. Some players were playing like almiron, joelinton or even gordon. The chance for newcastle to beat PSG is increasing but not so significant. PSG still becomes the most favorite club to win the game against newcastle. That's the last chance owned by newcastle. Unable to beat PSG will be result newcastle out from the UCL. It will not also qualify for europa league as well. The chance is very small.
I think PSG will be winning the upcoming game against newcastle. Acmilan may be going out caused by it will be losing against dortmund. It's not possible to go up if newcastle and acmilan will be losing the game.
In fact, newcastle is in a better form compared to the acmilan at this moment.

Complicated to predicts the club's that will make it out and the ones that won't in group F. Injury players have return and the squad is now complete, time for Eddie Howe to use his initiatives in a complex direction. Eddie Howe and his firing squad will be present in Parc des Princes stadium next week, and I believe the Magpies will be ready to face the Ligue One giants again. Paris Saint-Germain tend to become more weaker and inferior in UEFA Champions League matches this season, watched highlights of their previous UCL matches, one will noticed that there's absolutely evidence of struggles throughout.

Playing at home will probably make PSG a bit stronger than before. Newcastle shall not be very emotional caused by it will also be able to destroy its gameplay. The new castle player needs also to be careful caused by PSG is now making significant improvement.
No doubt that if some people were worrying the chance of newcastle to win the game in this match.PSG was consistently winning the game in the league 1. That's enough to be used as a motivation to beat newcastle.
Three points are very important for both of clubs but i think newcastle is not going to miss it. PSG or newcastle may feel struggle as they will be using everything to get three points.

Previously Newcastle experienced problems for their attacking line because Wilson and Isak could not be played which indirectly disrupted their condition because after all they are the players who contribute most especially to their attack line. But now it looks like this will change. Now Isak is back and of course it will add to the power of Newcastle and strive to continue to compete until the final match in the Champions Legaue.
Facing PSG in the next week, PSG will definitely remain the favorite in this match but Newcastle certainly don't want this to be easy for PSG even though they play awat especially with the capital of their absolute victory before in the first leg then I think Newcastle's confidence is quite big now and they could be a stumbling block for PSG.



what the??? why are we discussing Chelsea so much in this thread? I think we need to stop discussing something that has nothing to do with the Champions League.

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.

For the Galatasaray v Manchester United match on Wednesday I can comfortably say that it will be the decider on which side will make it to last 16 stage.

Let's say Galatasaray managed to win just as they did in Old Trafford. And at the same time Copenhagen lost to Bayern Munich in Germany. In that case Galatasaray would nearly guarantee qualifying from the group mathematically. Their last match is even against Copenhagen. Only one point would be enough for them there. But let's see first if Galatasaray will be able to become the winner again in the upcoming matchup.

They was already losing three goals to one ( 3--1 ) before the red card, don't bring the red card as excuse for the lose. That game was spoiled by the coach. It was a very physical game. Bruno Guimaries and Joelinton bullied most of the Chelsea midfielder's and they gave no room for creativity to Cole Palmer. That back pass shouldn't have gone to Thiago Silva, it should have been for the number one to calm down the pressure. I go online and see so much blames and insults towards Thiago Silva. Anyways, he should have done better under pressure with his experience.

Now I'm lost, I don't know what to predict in that group no more. Every team in that group won them various league games. It's gone be another thrilling midweek with the Champions League Football

Of course I'm not making excuses. This defeat showed that there were some things wrong with Chelsea, but after the 4-4 draw with Manchester City, it is questionable for Chelsea to make such obvious mistakes and defeat in this match. We can say that Chelsea did not try too hard for this match. The 4-1 defeat caused major problems at a time when they were full of hope.

Lens continue to get good results in the domestic league and slowly they have found the form they had lost. I'm curious about Lens' final fate in the Champions League group stage considering they are currently in 3rd place in Group B and have the same points as PSV. However, in the next match, Lens have to face a strong team from England, namely Arsenal, and I think if they can hold off Arsenal's draw then they can at least add 1 point and in the final match against Sevilla they can finish their struggle by collecting 9 points. However, that can also go smoothly if PSV loses against Sevilla because it is quite impossible that PSV will lose points against Sevilla later. I'm really curious what will happen between Lens and PSV considering that both of them are likely to accompany Arsenal to qualify for the round of 16.

Newcastle's win over Chelsea was amazing. They've been inconsistent, but this game showed their potential. I'm doubtful about their Champions League chances. They're financially supported, but money isn't everything. They face far more experienced teams. UCL performance is different from Premier League performance

To compete with Europe's great guns, they need a major strategy change. Though impressive domestically, Newcastle lacks the consistency and tactical sophistication needed for Champions League. I'm curious how they'll adjust their strategy for UCL's greater hurdles. Finding the correct balance between financial power and team development for high-pressure European nights is key

Atletico Madrid are getting close to last 16 by each week. But they are still under threat because Feyenood are only two points away from them despite being the third team in the group. The next game between Feyenoord and Atletico Madrid is going to be really critical for both sides actually. Because Lazio would probably beat Celtic home.

Getting even one point is enough for Atletico Madrid to guarantee his ticket for last 16. Because Feyenoord are going to be behind them in head-to-head games even if they equalize the points at the end. The game is going to be played in Netherlands by the way. Therefore it is quite difficult to bet on Atletico Madrid win here.

Yes this will be a very important match for both Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord. The result of the match will be very stopping for them, although there is still 1 more match after this match. But for Atletico Madrid, if they want to be comfortable and ensure they will be in the last 16, they must be able to win in this match. A draw is not enough, because in the last match they have to keep working hard to secure 1 ticket. Especially in the last match Atletico Madrid will face Lazio, it will be a difficult match for them. While Feyenoord will face Celtic.

This will determine Atletico Madrid fate because the three teams appear to still have a chances of qualifying for the last sixteen. If Lazio winning the match then they can overtake Atletico Madrid in first placed. On the other hand, if Atletico Madrid can win the match then Atletico Madrid will remain is in its current position and Atletico Madrid will be in a safe position to qualify, but if they lose or draw then Atletico Madrid position will be unsafe, because Feyenoord and Lazio look to win their remaining two games in the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid chances of winning are still a little doubtful, even though in the previous leg Atletico Madrid were able to beat Feyenoord at home, but this time Atletico Madrid will play away and this will be a bit of pressure for Atletico Madrid to try to secure the full three points.

But let's see first if Galatasaray will be able to become the winner again in the upcoming matchup. 

Hell Yes! If Manchester United fail to win, they'll have no chance of qualifications and the fans will start fuming once more about Erik Ten Hag and his management.

They'll be at home, believe me without bais they have better chances of winning the game. We saw Wilfred Zaha and scoring and assisting also saw Icardi scoring goals too to put Galatasaray in a good position on them standing. That was a good preparation ahead of the Champions League fixture against Manchester United. They get three points against Manchester United and they may likely steal points from Copenhagen. Bayern Munich may go soft on Copenhagen so Galatasaray and Manchester United better buckle up!

Chelsea is a team full of big surprises. You never know what they will do.

The red card was an advantage which was utilized by Newcastle to get the victory, at some point Chelsea did dropped in their performance and engaged in some unnecessary tackles which gave them some good number of yellow card, they had poorr coordination after they were loosing.

Pochettino dis express his dissatisfaction with his teams performance after yesterday's game, but just before the game started I actually expected more from Chelsea and even if they would have to losses I expected it wouldn't be in this magnitude because their recent performance against big teams has shown they were improving and I wouldn't have been too surprise if they had won Newcastle because they were looking like they are capable of pulling up such suprises.

Chelsea is a team full of big surprises. You never know what they will do.

Actually Chelsea's game was not so bad, but in my opinion the concentration that was disturbed made them finally concede 2 goals in just 2 minutes, not only that they also had to play with 10 people after Reece James was sent off in the 73rd minute, of course it made their mentality very shaky. They were 2 goals behind, they also had to be outnumbered by Newcastle.
I think Chelsea will be able to do the same thing again as in their last 2 matches, but in reality they are very difficult in this match which requires them to lose again with a landslide score.

When Newcals trampled PSG in the Champions League, they also looked great, then they were unlucky to a certain extent and are now in last place in the group. Now their chances of qualifying look like this:

Yes 3.20 No 1.30

And here it’s hard to disagree with the bookmakers, since in order to definitely get into the 1/8 they need to either win the two remaining games or gain 4 points and hope that the results of other games will be favorable for Newcastle.

[hahay]

Lens continue to get good results in the domestic league and slowly they have found the form they had lost. I'm curious about Lens' final fate in the Champions League group stage considering they are currently in 3rd place in Group B and have the same points as PSV. However, in the next match, Lens have to face a strong team from England, namely Arsenal, and I think if they can hold off Arsenal's draw then they can at least add 1 point and in the final match against Sevilla they can finish their struggle by collecting 9 points. However, that can also go smoothly if PSV loses against Sevilla because it is quite impossible that PSV will lose points against Sevilla later. I'm really curious what will happen between Lens and PSV considering that both of them are likely to accompany Arsenal to qualify for the round of 16.

So far Lens also only has a win when Lens plays against Arsenal, at least these results can be used as a trigger for Lens not to lose in the second match later againts Arsenal. Indeed, at this moment Arsenal seems to be the favorite for the winner of group B and ya, it is natural because Arsenal still have a good trend so far this season. But ya, if previously Lens managed to beat Arsenal, then maybe in the second match later Lens can get a draw. If a score like this happens, then at least Lens will be the chance to become runner up. But ya, if Lens lose by Arsenal, then Lens, PSV and also Sevilla will still compete to finish in a better position of course for positions 2 and 3.
