UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

~~ Snip ~~

Yes, that's right, because it is difficult for Xavi to rotate players to choose the quality of players who will play in each of their matches, especially in a busy schedule, it is not easy to focus and concentrate on two matches in Laliga as well as in the UCL, of course not only Barcelona, even other clubs too. the same, so it's not strange if top clubs experience defeat because they don't play focused and consistent in maintaining stamina and performance too.

There is still time for Barcelona to catch up, but right now they also have to focus on the UCL championship, even though they are not sure they will make it to the semi-finals or final, because there are many tough opponents they have to face with the composition of their players currently still relatively unknown. so good enough to be able to make it to that point, hopefully Barcelona will meet a balanced opponent in the next round of the round of 16.

I said that Barcelona's form is going downhill. Last year, they were champions. This year, they were defeated by small teams. Barcelona's form began to decline after a 2-4 defeat at home against Girona. Barcelona also received a surprising defeat against Antwerp in the Champions League. The weak defeats and conflicts within the team are warning bells about the end of Xavi's reign at Barcelona.
Barcelona, under Xavi, shows an entirely different face, more fragile. The whole team still needs to improve to continue to advance and win.

I can't really called that girona as a small team anymore. It was a part of manchester city and it has lots of potential to be big. Barcelona is having dozens of unsolved problems especially related to the financial issues faced by the club. This has become the main problem owned by barcelona. Bareclona may not be able to defend its trophy achieved last season. Real madrid and girona are too strong for barcelona. Xavi has been trying so hard to build its club again but it keeps failed this season.
Im really sure that if barcelona will try to hire another striker to replace lewandowski. There may be some players to come. Xavi is a coach with very old philosophy. Barcelona needs to hire someone who can implement the modern football.
The era of tictac strategy has gone and it's time to think about how to win the game rather than how to play beautifully against your opponent. This is my main concern regarding the condition faced by barcelona.

The foundation for building a squad capable of playing modern and attractive football is financial. If Barcelona management had enough money to do this now, they would build a squad made up of star players. Management no longer needs to get around the transfer window by implementing lending and borrowing strategies, or enticing players with transfer free status to want to join them.

I think if Xavi doesn't have a strong emotional connection with Barcelona, he will also move because of the complicated situation he is facing, I mean his space to recruit players according to his wishes is very limited due to the club financial crisis. it is not impossible that in the future Xavi will resign first, before being fired by management or club officials.

Ups and downs in performance are normal, it is very difficult to create an unbeaten record throughout the season in all the competitions you participate in. the defeat of a small team was indeed a surprise, and made us lose the bet because we were too confident in the results they could achieve. even a club like Bayern Munchen, which is the favorite in the UCL and Bundesliga, has also experienced bad luck recently. apart from all that, I am quite sure that Xavi will be able to find a solution to create consistency for Barcelona in the future.

I can't really called that girona as a small team anymore. It was a part of manchester city and it has lots of potential to be big. Barcelona is having dozens of unsolved problems especially related to the financial issues faced by the club. This has become the main problem owned by barcelona. Bareclona may not be able to defend its trophy achieved last season. Real madrid and girona are too strong for barcelona. Xavi has been trying so hard to build its club again but it keeps failed this season.

Although Girona is owned by City Football Group, but Girona isn't actually spend a lot money to strengthen their club, they only sign player under 10 Million Euros and some of them are on borrowed. Actually Barcelona was spend 35 Million Euros for Vitor Roque, so they're should be better than Girona.

Girona is playing with unpopular players, so I don't see money is a big part of their improvement.

But yes, at least next season it looks like Girona will definitely be able to play in the Champions League. So, regarding Girona which is owned by the City Football Group then of course, if Girona manages to finish in the top four and/or succeeds in getting the La Liga title this season, then of course Girona will improve the quality of their squad by recruiting several players who have great potential of course.

Because yes, even though at this moment Girona is successful with a squad that doesn't have a high price tag but ya, when it comes to playing in the Champions League then of course they will still need players who have above average quality. So ya, if we compare Girona with Barcelona at this moment, then of course Girona is still better than Barcelona at the moment.

It might not be the Champions League Competition alone but I be hoping they get to play in the European Competitions next season for the very first time if I'm not mistaken.
The squad with such low fee splashed on players bit they have played in one accord and done things and played to win games without being selfish or self centered. I would want to them to make good additions to the squad to help them hold onto the league for a while. Even if they don't qualify for the Champions League, Europa League Competition and Conference League is a sure banker.

So many challenges facing Barcelona, I one time considered them as potential winners of the Champions League this season, bit they have not really been on that path lately. I hope to see them play well with all due respect.

I thought Erik Ten Hag was a good coach when he came to Manchester United last season. He was sure he was going to end the era of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League. With the performance of Manchester United both in the Premier League and Champions League this season, it is proven that Erik Ten Hag is nowhere near Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.

A coach who always fights with his players, for example Jordan Sancho, Varane, Casemero. A poor coach who can't maintain harmony in his team.
Even though those players were bought at a high price and 2 of them were players who were bought in the Ten Hag era.

Yes that's right. Even though all of Erik Tan's players have been chosen, Man United is still inconsistent. I think United fans are probably the only community in England who want to protest against the club owners. However, the results did not match expectations. In the current era, I see this team only as a commercial team. Whatever the condition, in terms of trend they are still selling as public figures, in the end, performance seems to no longer be a priority.

I used to think that at that time Man United really chose Zidan/Pochetinno as coach, but in the end they chose Erik Ten Hag, whose name may have become a little famous when he succeeded in bringing Ajax to the UCL semi-finals.

Erik Ten Hag is killing Manchester United with that attitude and that made him ask David de Gea to leave Manchester United believing that Onana would be better than David de Gea. That is also the same reason why he keeps selecting Anthony, even when Anthony is not performing well.

Look, the fact that Barcelona managed to finish last season well with such big financial problems is only thanks to Xavi. But this could not last long if the club cannot solve these problems, we are now seeing the results of these problems. The team cannot attract new players and there are those who want to leave the club, as Dembele did. There is nothing surprising in this, it is impossible to achieve results on promises alone.

Manchester United is still a big team, but they seem to have lost their identity as a big team. Ten Hag haven't completely failed this season in the Premier League, but I agree their performance has been less than stable. Ten Hag failed to bring Manchester United through to the last 16 of the Champions League and he has the right to be blamed for this failure, but I still understand that this was not his wish.

Ten Hag must try as hard as possible to prove that they have not finished in the Premier League. They must be able to compete for a place in the top 4, although I admit that this is difficult to achieve. The players have to work hard to bring out all their abilities like last season, in contrast to this season which seems to have decreased a lot.

[Issa56]

Last season? ten hag was staying on manchester united for years. There was no progress being made by him in MU. i would prefer liverpool to play in UCL rather than manchester united. having MU in UCL was only giving embarrassing result for the EPL.
Newcastle was also a flop as it was unable passing the group stage. Mu and newcastle are showing terrible performance. It makes me feel so upset when i was watching their matches in UCL.

I don't really understand you. Do you mean now that Manchester United are out of the Champions League race, they will be able to focus on the Premier League? Maybe there will be an improvement in their performance? I am not expecting any improvement in Manchester United's performance in the Premier League, their next match is against Liverpool tomorrow. Let's see how they are going to perform. Since they don't have Champions League to play again, they will be able to focus on the Premier League, but I am still expecting them to lose against Liverpool in their next match, which is going to be tomorrow. Seriously, I don't know how Ten Hag will be able to save the club for now, but I am expecting Manchester United to sack Ten Hag soon.

It likes there was no improvement that is happening in manchester united nor newcastle united. I can only pray for ten hag to be sacked by united and then club can get a better replacement for him.

Seriously, Newcastle's performance in the Champions League was better than that of Manchester United. Newcastle was in a difficult group compared to Manchester United, and they struggled in the group stage, but as we all saw in the group that Manchester United were in, the only difficult team in the group stage was Bayern Munich. The other two clubs remaining were not supposed to be difficult for Manchester United to win, but they performed poorly and only got 4 points. And Newcastle played against Fulham today, and they played well in the match, they were able to score three goals in the match, and they went away with three points. I expect Manchester United to lose their next match against Liverpool. very soon I also expect ten Hag to be sacked, but I don't think it will solve United's problem because I haven't seen a perfect replacement for ten Hag yet.

[baeva]

In my opinion, Erik Ten Hag may be one of the worst coaches to ever come to Manchester United. I still don't understand how he can be in charge of the team. Don't they see that they were defeated at Old Trafford in their UCL group and finished last in the group? The money spent on transfers is very high and these inefficient players are purchased or the player cannot be productive. In this situation, I am surprised to see that he is still in charge of the team.

Maybe the leadership of the club at the moment does not want to risk and destabilise the situation in the team, because of the tournaments they have only EPL, and things are more or less normal there, they can only make things worse if they sack the coach, because then it is unknown whether the new coach will take root or not, and now every match is worth its weight in gold.

Regardless of the judgement of whether he is a good coach or a bad coach I think for now it is not very useful.
The situation now is that Manchester United have failed in the group phase will not be in the Europa League play offs either because of their position at the bottom of the table which makes the EPL club's steps tarnished for the Champions Leaegue title because this season there are 2 representatives who do not qualify and are at the bottom of the table.

Manchester United seems to have definitely understood the current situation and it would be very naive if there was no action on this so I think sooner or later Ten Hag's position in the coach will not be safe at this time even though previously many Manchester United officials and legends still continued to support Ten Hag as coach but now it seems that this will be very different in terms of the results received by Manchester United at this time.

and some people still support him now. He has strange politics, I agree, but there is a feeling that MU can still compete for top 5 in the EPL, that would be a good result. I understand that fans want to win, but at the moment winning the EPL is almost unrealistic. Let's see what MU will show us in the match against Liverpool

[nurilham]

Bye Bye Ac Milan.
The worst outcome for them, playing the Europa Leauge so they can't focus 100% in the Serie A.

It is sad that AC Milan failed to go to the next round.
I think AC Milan is still lucky that they have the chance to join Europa League. I think Europa League is a good competition, AC Milan must try to win it. They may be not 100% to focus in Serie A matches, but playing in Europa League probably doesn't bring difficulty for them. AC Milan isn't a team that just plays in international matches.

Ac Milan will not last long in the Europa League because they will not be happy playing the Europa League football.

Why do you assume AC Milan won't feel happy?
I think AC Milan players still feel happy that they still can play in Europa League.
I'm sure AC Milan will try to reach the final round and win the trophy. But it won't be easy, there are many good teams in Europa League.

[ShowOff]

As far as I know the draw for last 16 is going to take place on next Monday. I wish Galatasaray were also a part of it but unfortunately they performed terrible against Copenhagen like it wasn't an important game and this resulted in their elimination from the competition.    But at least we earned a lot of money during the journey which is important to finance our latest transfers.

I think that Copenhagen won't last any longer in the Champions League by the way. Looking at the group leaders only Real Sociedad can be considered a favourable challenge for them.

But even Real Sociedad have been amazing as they finished their group as the leader in Inter's presence in the same group. 

All La Liga teams lead the group standings, including Barcelona, ​​Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. La Liga, which sent 5 representatives, ultimately only left 4 good teams in the round of 16 where Sevilla was the only one who failed. Sevilla have been very weak this season, they have fallen further and have struggled to win anything both in La Liga and in other competitions.

I was amazed by Real Sociedad's achievements this season in the Champions League, I mean winning the group stage is something to be proud of. Barcelona are also good after Xavi failed to get his team to the last 16 in the last two seasons, so this is a chance to prove something.

Your opinion is very much valid, xavi is a good coach and should be regarded as one regardless of the current situation at Barcelona which is clearly not his fault and at the time almost beyond his powers to help the team beyond that which he knows he can possibly do but then just like every other fans, Barcelona fans will definitely want to throw some blames at him.

He was able to help the team win the league title last Season in their domestic league and aswell has been able to help the team qualify pas the group stage in the UCL this season so far, so it could definitely be said of him that he is trying especially been able to work with what is made available to him due to financial constraints on the club, so the current situation of the team is one which should be given more time and hopefully they will get back on their feet and if they are able to get another trophy by the end of the season, it will definitely go along way to help alleviate the financial crisis the team is facing currently.

Yes you are right, Barcelona are still fighting for trophies this season. I wonder why some people are saying that he is not doing well. It's very easy for people to say this and that especially people who don't like the club or the manager. But they have failed to acknowledge what he has done. Not every manager can deliver what Xavi has done under the same working condition. I still believe they will not end the season trophiles.

Well, I am a Barcelona supporter for the La Liga competition. It cannot be denied that Xavi made a big contribution to Barcelona, ​​especially last season. In a tight financial situation, Xavi was able to bring in several free players with the approach he took. Apart from that, Barcelona won the La Liga trophy again thanks to Xavi and other trophies, although they were not as prestigious. But in fact, there were other factors that caused Barcelona to win the trophy. one of which is the decline in the performance of its rival squad in La Liga. but still, Xavi's hard work must be appreciated even though what they show is not always a good game.

This season, Barcelona should perform much better than last season. considering some of the newcomers they brought in in the last summer window, Barcelona could be a much stronger and flexible team in some of the systems and patterns that Xavi can implement. unfortunately, they haven't been able to realize what Xavi wants. in fact, in several matches that Barcelona played they were only able to win ugly. Just be realistic, even though I am a Barcelona supporter. well, therefore he is the problem. Pep once said, with Gundohan joining Barcelona and the players Barcelona has. one of the giant Spanish teams could become a new force, unfortunately Xavi has not been able to make it happen. There are many factors, one of which is the players who are injured. Plus, Lewandowski is in unstable form, especially after he returned from injury.

For me, it's realistic, after all there are several teams that are stronger and more solid than Barcelona. You don't need to have high hopes of winning a trophy, just getting to the quarter-finals is already a big step forward for Barcelona. The point is that Xavi is the architect of Barcelona. If he is able to implement a suitable and ideal system, then Barcelona can become one of the teams to be reckoned with in this competition. If not, then don't expect Barca to advance or qualify from this round of 16 phase. So, let's see how far Xavi can take his squad to advance in this competition.

Difficult opponent teams on 16 round for teams who qualified and have been in pot 2, Inter, PSG and Napoli get potential will face top teams such as Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich. The Pot 1 teams will face teams from Pot 2 but have an exceptional not with the same group and not come from the same country. Example Real Madrid will face with second Pot teams except with Napoli because they are on the same group and teams potential will be opponent for Real Madrid are teams on pot 2 except Napoli. Another example with Bayern Munich potential opponent teams on round 16 teams from Pot 2 except with Copenhagen are the same group and RB Leipzig because they are from the Bundesliga teams. Personally I want to see drawing 16 round Barcelona vs PSG and seems both teams have potential face on 16 round but waiting the drawing match on Monday.

The round of 16 stage of the UCL seems tough as expected due to the fact that teams that advanced are literally the best at their deeds in their various domestic leagues. The UCL is always a tournament for the best teams in the game and it adds to the fun of football as all teams would strive to survive through each other's heat. This round is one of the toughest in the tournament despite the fact that they'll still play home and away.

 No team would trade their chances or give off points to the other as every goal counts. No matter the set fixture, both teams are definitely going to be tough for each other. This is one stage that should be watched closely, it's very much risky to predict at these points cos none will be willing to submit to the other. Let whosoever will win, win however I believe teams like Realmadrid and City would move into the quarter final.

[Weawant]

Erik Ten Hag is killing Manchester United with that attitude and that made him ask David de Gea to leave Manchester United believing that Onana would be better than David de Gea. That is also the same reason why he keeps selecting Anthony, even when Anthony is not performing well.

Sometimes ago I did mentioned about the fact that Erik ten hag has really been portraying a bad attitude towards his players with the way he handles issues concerning the team, he is most often in a constant struggle with the players, creating an unconducive environment for these players to be able to strive which in return affects their performance and the results they produce.

I think one of the problem that ten hag had was the fact that they allowed him take a good part in the decision making aspect of the team and that did made him seem to take powers into his hands such that he was influencing decisions that were detrimental to the team yet he thinks it was in the interest of the team, he was allowed to buy players of his choice which on the long run he ended up have issues with them, even in the face of so many challenges facing the team he couldn't bring down his ego enough to have a good relationship with his team and see how well they could seek improvement.

La Liga teams surprised everyone once again this season no doubt especially the Real  Sociedad team that haven't been in the champions league also made it out of the group stage as group leaders it's showing that this season they will have the opportunity to win the champions League that's if two Spanish side don't gwt to play each other in the finals.

Concerning the Spanish teams that made it out of the group stage, I think Barcelona and Real Sociedad really amazed me because Barcelona has not been up to standard this season as they have not been consistent so making it to the knockout stage is a big win for them coach Xavi and for the Real Sociedad team they have shown that they are no longer a small team as it appears that they are gradually taking over the position of Sevilla in the UCL.

But even Real Sociedad have been amazing as they finished their group as the leader in Inter's presence in the same group. 

Copenhagen is small team and almost impossible to compete against big teams which more experience and stronger than them so obviously their journey will be stopped at round of 16 but although most likely they will be eliminated on that round but at least they can repeat their achievement on 2011 because at that time Copenhagen has able to qualified to round of 16 and this season too after dramatically beat Galatasaray on the last match of group stages Copenhagen can able to achieve 2nd place

About Sociedad a bit surprised to see their performance this season because after 10 years absense to playing at champion league finally they can playing at this competition again and i was underestimate this team before because i thought Benfica will be qualified with Inter Milan in group D rather than them but surprisingly Sociedad can displayed impressive performance during group stages which makes they can able to finish at first place and even Sociedad was qualified with unbeatable status and i will counted them as dark horses team who have potention to make big teams to slipped

They're both struggling in the  Champions League this season, Newcastle was known to be the best defending club in the Premier League last season now they have conceded a good number of goals. They've both seen injured players absent and it has affected how they play.
Though, they had their chances of qualification bit still couldn't utilized it. They're no more now in the Champions League can we talk about the current clubs and the upcoming draws on Monday? PSG finishing second to Borrussia Dortmund will definitely see themselves facing a stronger club. With the experience of Luis Enrique, I believe they'll advance to a far extent.

Manchester United sucks! I have decided not to see too much of them games. As a Manchester United fan, for the sake of your mental health, avoid watching Manchester United week in week out. They have literally nothing for them fans at the end of this season.

Let whosoever will win, win however I believe teams like Realmadrid and City would move into the quarter final.

Of course, the round of 16 will be quite crucial because each team will play better to advance to the round of 8.
Let's just wait for the lottery which will be held on Monday and I think all the teams that qualify are quite strong teams that can provide many surprises in the round of 16. Each team will not assume that the opponent they are facing is weak because this match will result in them losing if they cannot take advantage of every opportunity to score goal. I think a fairly strong force might be Bayern munich because they have big ambitions to bring the UCL trophy home to the Bundesliga.

The defending champions, Manchester city, have recently experienced a slight decline in their performance in the Premier League and we hope that the players mentality will not be disturbed in the Champions League because they are still a team that their opponents are quite afraid of. Apart from that, the teams from Laliga performed well in the group phase so other teams have to take this into account when they face the Laliga team.

After the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League was made, I was of the opinion that Copenhagen were gonna finish the group stage in the last position of the group A and that's because of the fact that the other three teams on the group are better than Copenhagen on papers but the Danish side had another thought about what they can achieve and the team spirit in the club was one of the factors that helped them reach the knockout stages of the competition alongside side group winners Bayern Munich while teams like Manchester United and Galatasaray couldn't stop Copenhagen from progressing out of the group.

I thought Erik Ten Hag was a good coach when he came to Manchester United last season. He was sure he was going to end the era of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League.

Anyone who's seen the tactical and technical abilities of Erik Ten Hag before he joined Manchester United would never think that he's the kind of quality manager that should be compared to Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp. Erik Ten Hag before he joined Manchester United was undoubtedly a good manager but doesn't in any way fall in the category of Pep Guardiola. Manchester United's performance in the UEFA Champions League competition this season was one of their worst in the history of the competition and Erik Ten Hag will definitely take much of the blames for his poor tactical approaches.

[TelolettOm]

I don't really understand you. Do you mean now that Manchester United are out of the Champions League race, they will be able to focus on the Premier League? Maybe there will be an improvement in their performance? I am not expecting any improvement in Manchester United's performance in the Premier League, their next match is against Liverpool tomorrow. Let's see how they are going to perform.

Haha I also don't think it will be.
I agree with you, it's not because they don't focus on the EPL, but they do have various problems on all fronts. They are not that good to then focus on the EPL and maybe their performance will improve. Yes, it's possible, maybe, but it doesn't guarantee it will change much. Man United has experienced quite difficult and unexpected times. Meanwhile, in the EPL, there are still many opponents with top clubs who are able to compete optimally. So the results are in line with expectations and they become stronger. Meanwhile, Man United, not to isolate them, but they really need a lot of changes, maybe including the coach too, because the problems experienced by Man United are quite complicated.

I thought Erik Ten Hag was a good coach when he came to Manchester United last season. He was sure he was going to end the era of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League. With the performance of Manchester United both in the Premier League and Champions League this season, it is proven that Erik Ten Hag is nowhere near Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.

Last season? ten hag was staying on manchester united for years. There was no progress being made by him in MU. i would prefer liverpool to play in UCL rather than manchester united. having MU in UCL was only giving embarrassing result for the EPL.
Newcastle was also a flop as it was unable passing the group stage. Mu and newcastle are showing terrible performance. It makes me feel so upset when i was watching their matches in UCL.
It likes there was no improvement that is happening in manchester united nor newcastle united. I can only pray for ten hag to be sacked by united and then club can get a better replacement for him.

They're both struggling in the  Champions League this season, Newcastle was known to be the best defending club in the Premier League last season now they have conceded a good number of goals. They've both seen injured players absent and it has affected how they play.
Though, they had their chances of qualification bit still couldn't utilized it. They're no more now in the Champions League can we talk about the current clubs and the upcoming draws on Monday? PSG finishing second to Borrussia Dortmund will definitely see themselves facing a stronger club. With the experience of Luis Enrique, I believe they'll advance to a far extent.

Manchester United sucks! I have decided not to see too much of them games. As a Manchester United fan, for the sake of your mental health, avoid watching Manchester United week in week out. They have literally nothing for them fans at the end of this season.

Even in the last weeks of the last season when Newcastle was on the ticket for the Champions League, we were expecting to see Newcastle owners invest more in this team since they have got reach and famous owners to support the teams but it was interesting for me to see they didn't invest anything in this team and that's why they could have good performance in the Champions League maybe but spending more money in the market, Newcastle could become the second teams the group to pass this stage but still, it was a good experience for this team.
