UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Weawant]

As a team that has been around for a long time, there will certainly be many people who have respect for Manchester United, and that is why the conversation about Manchester United continues every season because they are one of the big teams in England and in Europe. If not then we will not be long in this Manchester United talk, we can see now there are actually many teams that are worse than Manchester United, but they don't attract so much attention.
I think Fergie has given a lot of input to the club, but I don't know whether the club implements what he suggests or not, because of course all decisions are in management.

Definitely Manchester united is Seen as one of the biggest team in England and Europe as a whole so definitely it's very true that they will receive more attention if anything is going wrong with them more than othe team in other clubs will because the have a very good fan base and aswell have gotten a lot of investment and investors whose eyes is on them.

The basic problem or issues with Manchester united still lays within the management of the team which by extension have got so much blame on the coach and his performance so far in the team, these form the bases for most of the discussion about this team and most recently is the rumors of the possible sack of the coach due to his continues poor performance over a long time spamming through this season and this ofcourse have raised so many concerns a about the future of the team this season, I can really tell for now how well the team has implemented the ideas of Fergie, maybe if they have not they should and see how well it will be of great help to the team.

Arsenal has never won the UEFA Champions league. For the last five times Arsenal have featured in the champions league, they have not passed the round of 16. The fans will be praying not to face a tough side in the next draw. They finished top of the table, which means they won’t be facing clubs like Real Madrid Bayern Munich, Manchester City and other teams who also finished top in their own group. They will most likely be facing the second place teams. This is the only advantage they have going for them right now.

Really? I'm just seeing this for the very first time. I would go do my checks and verify. But then, there's no way in hell Arsenal would be faced against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City in the next round. All of the three clubs mentioned above also qualified as tue leaders of the various groups, so meeting themselves would be very difficult. They don't look so sharp honestly, I would love of they can make some threw additional players to boost the squad.

Too much lamentations and lamenting about Newcastle lol. When they defeated Parisians it seemed like a much easier thing for them to do? They had them chances and couldn't make a good use of them chances against German side Borrussia Dortmund during the both fixtures they played.

Even though Arsenal face Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester city in their next round, they will still embrace luck from the game to top the game like the way they are toping in the premier league and, they can still top in this UEFA champions league competition to lift the trophy because they are well organized to face any team to take victory. It was a thing of joy see some premier league teams qualified in round 16 in the UEFA champions league competition and, the trophy will not pass those premier league teams.

Newcastle try their best to come out as the best team in their group but it was not an easy game because their opponent really prepared to stop them in the round 16 not to be among the teams that will qualify for the next round in the Europa league competition.

On the other hand, there is another unique fact that Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri really wants to meet Barcelona because he feels he has never faced the Blaugrana in a big competition and this will also be a very important experience as a coach. Well, which one do you want to see?

The major tournaments are for the main elite clubs. There's no room for average club to compete rather they stick to normal league. Any elite team that faces Barcelona have high probability of winning because there are top clubs that can fights and mount pressure on barcelona this season. Afterall the Blaugrana have shown their weakness and that doesn't sound good for the club. Lazio Coach, Maurizio Sarri is experienced and he can beat any opponents that crossed his path this season, though he can't withstand some tough opposition.

[rdluffy]

It is a disgrace to see that Manchester United couldn't qualify for the next round of the Uefa Champions League. I will blame Onana for Manchester United's early exit from the Uefa Champions League because Onana's errors prevented Manchester United not reaching the Uefa Champions League round of 16.

Sometimes it's better not to qualify than to go through to the next round only to lose by many goals to a better team, at least that's what I think
M. United's campaign was so bad that they finished last.
When the team is doing well and loses due to some detail or play, we can even "blame" a player, but in this case the whole team isn't playing well, nothing goes right, in any championship, so I don't just blame the goalkeeper
The best way for the club to get out of this situation is to get organized, try out new formations, get the reserves playing and in the transfer window try to make 2 or 3 changes to improve the team

I know that PSG was lucky to qualify from group F because they were runners up and had the same number of points as Milan only on goal difference, but here it appears that PSG is not as strong as people imagine, so in my opinion if they meet Madrid it will certainly be an opportunity for Madrid to embarrass them for the umpteenth time and that had to be done to break his arrogance. 

I don't think even PSG fans believe in a good PSG campaign or that the team is strong  
The 19-20 season was PSG's best and after that it gradually went downhill each season and today in my opinion is the time when PSG is weakest and I don't see it being able to beat a team like that: (Real, Bayern, City or Barcelona), if PSG is lucky in the draw they can still get through one more round, but I very much doubt that they can reach a semi-final with this team


Looking forward to the draw on the 18th to make my predictions and prepare my bets, finally
I stopped betting in the first phase, I'm only going to focus on it from now on and I've already set aside my bankroll
Did anyone here get good results in the first phase?

[boltz]

This might be that one UCL season where we might have a surprise winner or a team who wasn't top 3 favorite to win before the tournament began. Personally I won't count out PSG as this team could come out of nowhere and score 3 goals in 10 minutes , then we have Bayern who could do the same and I think between these 2 teams , one of them will be the final winner.

I say this because we all saw how Barcelona are doing in UCL and they are not playing great football at all , then we have City who really likes to concede goals and then we have Real who without Bellingham in a great night , they barely score or win.

[Davian144]

To be honest, I really respect Manchester United because of its very long and very memorable football history. Although I'm not a United fan. Looking at the current situation I don't see United as they should be seen. After Ferguson left, I saw that United really seemed to have lost their spirit in the game. It's impossible to call Fergie out of retirement. But can Sir Alex Ferguson at least provide direction or coaching recommendations for United at this time?

Sir Alex Ferguson could have done this if the Manchester United team management still considered him an important person for Manchester United at this time. But if the team management still prefers to see someone else as the new coach for Manchester United in the coming seasons, I don't think anyone will ask for any direction from Sir Alex Ferguson even though he is the coach who once brought Manchester United to the top. the peak of its glory in the past.

[rendravolt]

On the other hand, there is another unique fact that Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri really wants to meet Barcelona because he feels he has never faced the Blaugrana in a big competition and this will also be a very important experience as a coach. Well, which one do you want to see?

I also hope for PSG's meeting against Madrid, it will prove to Mbappe that PSG is still really under Madrid, that's why it seems like this meeting is highly anticipated by Madrid fans, humiliating Mbappe and PSG is something that will slap his arrogance which has always been toying with Madrid, even though if Mbappe is in madrid for now he could win the UCL title this season if only he realizes that.

I know that PSG was lucky to qualify from group F because they were runners up and had the same number of points as Milan only on goal difference, but here it appears that PSG is not as strong as people imagine, so in my opinion if they meet Madrid it will certainly be an opportunity for Madrid to embarrass them for the umpteenth time and that had to be done to break his arrogance. 

Unfortunately, Mbappe never realized this and was only tempted by the large amounts of money he could make with PSG. Los Blancos fans are ready to ridicule Mbappe if he meets PSG and that is a moment that will make his mental state even lower. PSG's success was like a miracle that should not have come and I think Milan actually deserved to be in the last 16 because they still put up strong resistance even though they were away from home against Newcastle.

The goal difference is the cause of Milan's failure. If they can win decisively against Newcastle, it is possible that they will qualify, not PSG. It seems that not only Real Madrid will be happy to meet PSG, but other clubs will also definitely support Los Blancos to be able to bring PSG home again because everyone knows that PSG doesn't deserve to be in the champions league by relying only on money but never progressing as a club.

He's still around the club and holds a position within Manchester United as a special advisor to the board and management. I've also read a new of how he's backing Erik Ten Hag for the job come rain come sun.

I want to blame him at times but I can't do that! I wonder why he gave chance of management too David Moyes who sent the club back to the trenches and slums with his poor tactics and management? But, what can I do? What ever has been done has been done. It's time to look forward aminot backwards.

For the job, Erik Ten Hag should be backed even if he lose against Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield. He is a great manager. Looking at the past managers who've been sacked, Erik Ten Hag has done a better job than them all. Someone correct me if I'm lying. So why sack him when you can get him the players he wants?!

[Adams0001]

As the group winner, it will certainly be very enjoyable to compete against the group runners up and yes, these are some of the opponents who are likely to face the group winners in the 16th round of the Champions League. The draw will be held on Monday 18 December and of course we can't wait for the results. Here I want to see Bayern Munich against Inter and this will be like the 2010 Champions League final where Inter came out as champions.

Apart from that, Real Madrid against PSG is definitely also highly anticipated, especially since these two teams also often meet in the Champions League round and PSG is always sent home by Real Madrid at that time. This will also be a warning to Kylian Mbappe who was so arrogant when Real Madrid repeatedly wanted to get him but always failed because of his selfishness in choosing PSG.

Specifically, I would like Bayern Munich to face Inter Milan in the Round of 16 of the Champions League because it is only Inter Milan that is very strong in that there second round because if psg or Lazio face Bayern Munich, I am very sure Bayern will definitely defeat them because they are in better form than them, and it is only Inter Milan that I believe can compete with them in the round of 16, I don't think all of the top clubs that finish first in their group will be knocked out in the next round, because I don't think psg, Napoli, Lazio, psv and Porto can defeat the first position in each of the group stage, because I don't think they are in better form this season experts they join each other in the round 8 in competition, but I would like real madrid to play against PSG this season again, because many fans say real Madrid get lucky to defeat them and I am very sure even if real madrid play against psg they will still beat them because they are not in good form to compete with them.

The major tournaments are for the main elite clubs. There's no room for average club to compete rather they stick to normal league. Any elite team that faces Barcelona have high probability of winning because there are top clubs that can fights and mount pressure on barcelona this season. Afterall the Blaugrana have shown their weakness and that doesn't sound good for the club. Lazio Coach, Maurizio Sarri is experienced and he can beat any opponents that crossed his path this season, though he can't withstand some tough opposition.

I would like Barcelona to face Napoli or PSV because they are the only teams that can give Barcelona a tough match because Barcelona is not in good form this season and even though Barcelona will qualify to round 8 in the Champions League, it will be very difficult for them. I believe that if Lazio face Barcelona in the round of 16, Barca will be able to defeat them, but let's wait for dross and see which team will face Barcelona in the round of 16th because it is only them I suspect will be knockout early in the competition, Because of how they are playing in the league, they won't be able to compete very well in the Champions League next round, but anything can happen, and Xavi can change his tactics in the Champions League. I didn't blame them in their last match in the group stage because they had already qualified, which is why they defeated them.let see if they can survive in the round of 16 in the Champions League competition.

Bad thing for teams finished on second standings position will face the opponent teams who finished on first position group stage, have several big top teams have finished on second standings position like Inter Milan, Napoli and PSG will face top standings team with potential will face Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. As Madrid fans expected on 16 of round will face the weakness teams such as PSV, Copenhagen or Lazio.

For Barcelona likely interested if face with big top teams against Inter Milan or PSG and looking the compete and experienced wth Xavi Hernandez will success bring Barcelona pass 16 round or have eliminated early. Left three days later before 16 round Champion League drawing and hope any interested match on knock out round.

[hahay]

This might be that one UCL season where we might have a surprise winner or a team who wasn't top 3 favorite to win before the tournament began. Personally I won't count out PSG as this team could come out of nowhere and score 3 goals in 10 minutes , then we have Bayern who could do the same and I think between these 2 teams , one of them will be the final winner.

I say this because we all saw how Barcelona are doing in UCL and they are not playing great football at all , then we have City who really likes to concede goals and then we have Real who without Bellingham in a great night , they barely score or win.

I think Manchester City is still a title candidate this season and ya, even though you think Manchester City seems to be conceding easily. But ya, the reality is that Manchester City has a way to overcome it well too because after all, in this group phase Manchester City is a team that has a higher goal productivity than other teams. Therefore, at least Manchester City is not bad and not weak at all, because Manchester City still has good chance too to be considered until the final match.

Instead of considering PSG who might be able to make a surprise, I think it will be more interesting about Arsenal and maybe also Atletico. Because yes, for me PSG still does not have a good chance to be a candidate team that will go further. Because yes, for me PSG is quite often disappointing for results in the Champions League, moreover PSG also seems to be still difficult to get the right rotation to stay focused in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League.

Looking at the past managers who've been sacked, Erik Ten Hag has done a better job than them all. Someone correct me if I'm lying. So why sack him when you can get him the players he wants?!

The support given to supporters for Erik Ten Hag has been in place for a long time, even from the time he first arrived at Old Trafford and was announced as the new coach of Manchester United, support continues to come and even hopes to bring changes from the previous coach, even though he is only 3 points different from the League Zone. Europe Manchester United to overtake Tottenham, it seems impossible for Manchester United because every week Manchester United always play badly and even inconsistently, often the players throw away the ball and waste points, Onana often makes mistakes in guarding the goal against enemy players..

Manchester United must improve themselves from what they have done at the start of this season, to be honest this has disappointed the fans who have provided support up to now, but it is all just in vain in my opinion, if Manchester United is lucky in the match against Liverpool they can get points It seems that it will be safe for Erik Ten Hag's future with Manchester United, but if on the contrary he experiences defeat, then be prepared for Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United management could fire Erik Ten Hag himself on the grounds that he is no longer compatible with Manchester United.

Manchester United is not in good form and its clearly understandable by the supportive die-hard fans. They know within themselves they can't withstand the pressing energy of these elite clubs and they also have a fight to win because they need to be among the top four clubs this season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League competition will be of great honor despite failing to qualify from the group stage this season. Erik Ten Hag is held with complicated jobs and any decisions he makes, neither good or bad have a 50/50 of ruining or exploring the club.

They will most likely be facing the second place teams. This is the only advantage they have going for them right now.

with this square arsenal will find it very difficult to win when I saw the picture I was already sure that even this time around arsenal will still not pass round sixteen and Arsenal is usually used to fucking up and it will be hard for them to surpass all this clubs talk of Bayern, Dortmund PSG, and Real Madrid you expect arsenal to pass this around how possible is that.  the problem is even doh we haven't faced the tough clubs now sooner or later we won't be able to escape them, they should try their best and if they can keep up it will help them very well. my expectations are not high but all I can do is to watch and eventually, if they pass round sixteen everyone will be happy and the club will be happy.

Really? I'm just seeing this for the very first time. I would go do my checks and verify. But then, there's no way in hell Arsenal would be faced against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City in the next round. All of the three clubs mentioned above also qualified as tue leaders of the various groups, so meeting themselves would be very difficult.

Too much lamentations and lamenting about Newcastle lol. When they defeated Parisians it seemed like a much easier thing for them to do? They had them chances and couldn't make a good use of them chances against German side Borrussia Dortmund during the both fixtures they played.

Everyone already knows because everyone knows what Arsenal is capable of doing so they know that they won't go far even if they are my club we know their strength, the argument of whether Arsenal will or not is not necessary, at this point is just as if arsenal is managing and the league won't tolerate managing at this state now if you were not strong enough then be prepared to be sent home it is as simple as that.  and these are times that if you are not smart enough you will lose more bets than expected because games will be very difficult to predict At the same time we know the weaker and the stronger clubs, if you are ready to take risks another face of the Champions League is here.

[Huppercase]

Unfortunately, Mbappe never realized this and was only tempted by the large amounts of money he could make with PSG. Los Blancos fans are ready to ridicule Mbappe if he meets PSG and that is a moment that will make his mental state even lower. PSG's success was like a miracle that should not have come and I think Milan actually deserved to be in the last 16 because they still put up strong resistance even though they were away from home against Newcastle.

The goal difference is the cause of Milan's failure. If they can win decisively against Newcastle, it is possible that they will qualify, not PSG. It seems that not only Real Madrid will be happy to meet PSG, but other clubs will also definitely support Los Blancos to be able to bring PSG home again because everyone knows that PSG doesn't deserve to be in the champions league by relying only on money but never progressing as a club.

He was influenced by the people around him especially his mum, they thought what PSG brought to the table was way more heavier than Real Madrid, you know when you heard that your son has the supreme power to send out a player, who to start and who t bench and option to change a coach, that got into the head of the agents and his mum and they boycot Los Blancos but the Karma is really affecting him right now. Look at this way, if Messi and Neymar was around to give the club the Champions League they are despirately in need, but they failed, it is only him that can give that to the club, the chances are slim to be honest.

Milan and PSG both win 2 games, draw 2 games and lost 2 games which make them equal but Milan did conceded more goals in the begining, even they win more goals against Newcastle, the deed has been done from the goals they conceded and Newcastle is not even the type of the team they can have much goals from because they even as they worst this season, they are good in performances.

[giammangiato]

Spain was the country with the most representatives in the Champions League in the round of 16 this season and 4 of its representatives also managed to become group winners in their respective groups. Meanwhile, for representatives from the league which is said to be the most competitive in the world, only 2 representatives managed to qualify for the round of 16 and they were also represented by the two best teams since last season. It is a fact that Spain is still a better league than other leagues on the list of top European leagues.

On the other hand, Italy and Germany also did not want to lose and they brought their 3 representatives through to the round of 16. I think this season's Champions League will still be dominated by teams from Spain and the strongest rivals will be teams from Germany. But I haven't forgotten the only team from England that is still a strong candidate to win the Champions League again this season and that is Manchester City.

Yours is an excellent representation, it makes it clear how the next round is made up, thank you very much.
France amazes me a lot, only PSG remains, a disappointment for me with the many strong teams they had, I dont understend. Yet France has a strong national team, it seems absurd to me.
Good Spain, 4 teams poker

One of the wrong things Alex Faguson will do is not to support any coach that is handling Manchester United. Even if he doesn't support that particular coach with his mind, he will not go public about it. Going public to say his dissatisfaction about any coach will drop the confidence of that coach because Sir Alex is an icon of Manchester United. If he doesn't endorse a particular coach, it means Manchester United doesn't endorse the coach.

Manchester United is not in good form and its clearly understandable by the supportive die-hard fans. They know within themselves they can't withstand the pressing energy of these elite clubs and they also have a fight to win because they need to be among the top four clubs this season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League competition will be of great honor despite failing to qualify from the group stage this season.

Manchester United had all it takes to be in a good form
Firstly, they were supposed to re-enforce the team by making strategic signings and because they failed that is why injury dealt with them and as everyone can testify, Manchester United has the worse champions league outing in the recent time.

[shogun47]

The group is insanely close with both games being tied 1-1. PSG is still ahead with 8 points, but one goal for Newcastle and they are in the next round if PSG doesn't win the game. But it's still all possible if Dortmund scores another goal and Milan sometimes has a chance, if they get lucky and score one more there will be pressure on those teams everywhere. This is how I like it!

This match in Group F is the most interesting, because until now we still don't know which club will qualify apart from Dortmund. It's a shame that Newcastle finally conceded a goal from Milan, even though they were already ahead 1-0 and statistically they were superior. On the other hand, PSG and Dortmund are also still tied. So they are all still really struggling to this day. However, I think PSG might have a greater chance of qualifying for the next qualification.

Now we know how this competition will go on and I think PSG was also a deserved winner in this group. I am unsure about Dortmund as I am not convinced of their game, but they won the group and now we will see how they will play in the next round, but I don't expect too much from them. PSG could have sent a warning to the soccer world if they won the game against Dortmund big time, but now they could again come to an end rather sooner than later when they are up against a team like Real Madrid. The names in the PSG team are great, but names haven't won any competition ever. But they are to blame as they had the chance to win the group if they won the game against Dortmund.

It is a shame that Manchester united only won one game in the champions league before their ass was kicked out in the group stage. The problem of the clubs still lies in the hands of the coach ETH as he is confused of how to solve the problem that is making the club not to be stable in their performance.

I hope that they will not disappoint their fans this season because if they fail to be among the top four this season, it means that they were unable to get back to their normal performance of last season. I just believe that with time and before the season ends they will be in a good form and will finish among the top four so that they can have another chance to play in the champions league next season to make things right.

[rahmad2nd]

In the groups stage Arsenal achieved good result and were able to qualify for the next rounds in the last 16 with 13 points, but Arsenal could not win all the matches in the 6 matches they played and suffered 1 defeated when facing a club that was not too strong so it can be concluded If Arsenal is still not very good when facing bigs clubs in the next match in the Champions League, especially since they have a defense that is not to strong. In contrast to their strong rival Manchester City who achieved perfect result and did not experience defeat in the group stage, so Manchester City is definitely better favorite over Arsenal.

However, at least Arsenal can fight this season to achieve better even though they are not the favorite, but if they can show even better after they recruit new striker and make their defense stronger, I'm sure Arsenal can achieve the result their fans expect because they still have opportunity this season and he can also beat Manchester City in the Premier League which is definitely a good achievement.

At least, Arsenal has proven its existence in this competition by qualifying for the next round.  as for the defeat they suffered in the Lens match, IMO, it was purely the fault of David Raya and Arsenal's defense. However, it cannot be denied that Arsenal sometimes only wins with poor performance. aka ugly win. We'll see how far Arteta will take his squad in this competition. If Arsenal can get through the last 16, that will be enough for them in their first season in the Champions League after a long absence. However, let's see what Arteta does in the January transfer window. If Arteta and Edu are serious, then they should target a pure center forward who is more reliable than Nketiah. As for Gabriel Jesus, he continues to contribute in his squad. after all, Artera can rotate this player from Brazil. As a fan of the Gunners, I don't expect much from Arsenal to reach the higher stages. just by playing the match with its best performance, we are quite entertained. especially, for the Premier League which should be their real target in the race for the League trophy. For me, what Arsenal lack is a pure central striker, it's time for Arteta to realize this and focus on targeting several names this January. 

Different from City, although it could be said that Manchester City is experiencing a decline in several of its matches. However, Pep Guardiola's squad is still an elite team that is not easy to beat. especially, if they have played their pattern and starting eleven. City will look stronger and stronger. It's only natural that they get points smoothly, but City's experience at the moment is far from Arsenal's in the Champions League. Also, their opponents did not put up any significant resistance and neither did Leipzig. So, it is natural that City is still the favorite team, especially if De Brunye recovers from his injury.
