UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Marykeller]

After the Champions League round of 16 draw, Man City will be up against Copenhagen.

Some folks wonder why City seems to get easier draws. It's necessary to remember that City consistently finishes on top of their group each season, earning them a favorable draw. But, let's not forget, there are no small teams in the Champions League. Copenhagen is a tough team. Man City faced them last season, so it's unwise to underestimate them. Nevertheless, City conquered the best teams on their way to their first UCL, and hopefully, they'll do the same this time around.

Truly, there is no small team in the Champions League, that doesn't make teams to be equal in performance with one another. There are teams bigger than others in performance and experience in Champions League matches.
Manchester City matchup against Copenhagen, will be a home and away win for Manchester City. Copenhagen won't be able to withstand Manchester City's force no matter how prepared and tough they seem to be. I don't expect Manchester City to repeat lifting the Champions League trophy this season but I expect them to reach the semi-finals at least.

[Xxmodded]

First of all my favourites for this draw to reach the quarter finals are like these:

- Copenhagen - Manchester City
- Leipzig - Real Madrid
- Lazio - Bayern Munich
- PSG - Real Sociedad
- Inter - Atletico Madrid
- PSV - Dortmund
- Porto - Arsenal
- Napoli - Barcelona

I'm really satisfied with Copenhagen's having the toughest matchup in the round.    Because we couldn't advance to this round and they did instead of us. I must admit that it was our fault in our last game against them but still it makes me happy to see the end of the road for Copenhagen already now.

I'm only having second thoughts about my Inter pick. Because despite being really strong they are facing another strong team in this round. Atletico Madrid are much better in the Champions League this season so this could be an interesting draw.

I think easily with Manchester City will set up quarter final stage depend their opponent on 16 of round is Copenhagen, seems all your teams prediction will qualify to next round are right but little doubt last team your predicting Barcelona will lead to quarter final. Napoli is not really weakness team in Champion League, I doubt for Barcelona will qualify to quarter final and I think Napoli is more favorable teams depend on Barcelona performance last several matches in domestic league.

By the way, the 16 of round drawing will be set up later for quarter final round, likely Manchester City in the drawing match for quarter final possibility will face Real Madrid and Bayern Munich until semifinal phase? or quarter final will make new drawing again.

[Slow death]

PSG are not yet ready to win the champoins league. The French league is not that competitive and the strongest team PSG struggled with Newcastle and other teams in their group. If they make it pass the round of 16 this season I think they are lucky. It will take PSG many years of consistency to win the Champions league, they should forget about it this season.

Agreed, PSG has not yet faced the strongest team in the UCL like real madrid and bayern. It was almost failing to qualify for the knock out stage. It sounds non sense to pick PSG as favorite to win the competition right now.
Luck or unluck have become side factor that was helping the club to qualify or not. In fact, PSG is not that strong to compete with the best club like manchester city, real madrid or bayern.
How many times PSG was botting its performance in the UCL? It can be answered easily. This is also the main reason PSG was always failed to get UCL.
The only best achievement to be runner up of UCL a few years ago but yeah it was a few years ago. Football developed even further and there are lots of change happened.

When you are that good, you do not face a great team until the quarter finals, it's rarely the case. I mean you "may" face someone that is good, but most of the time you really don't. I think it's quite clear that they will not face anyone who will be all that much of a trouble for them. I think quarter finals may end up being a little decent as well, I think it is going to be a bit of a tough deal for the draw, but they are building a great team, maybe during the winter period they will get someone decent as well, who knows?

I think that should be the most important thing, we need to arrange something that will benefit everyone. This is of course not a guaranteed thing but we could always end up with a good PSG win and they may finally get that UCL title they always wanted, that's an important situation. I believe that there is still some time left to see, but I like their current roster, they do look like a good team and they do look like they may do something about it as well.

PSG has had top players recently and they couldn't do anything special to win the Champions league. If they didn't win it when the likes of Messi and others were there. So I don't really see any magic that this current squad they have can win the champoins league this season. Maybe in the future they will win but not now as they are not yet ready.

In the European Champions League some teams can also be lucky to reach the final, for example last season we saw Inter reach the final, take a good look at Inter's squad, they don't have many famous players and yet they managed to reach the final this season last and in the final game against manchester city they played very well to the point that manchester city had difficulties in the game. Neymar wasn't a player who could play every season when he was at PSG, so it didn't make much sense to keep him in the team when he was injured, traveling and hanging out at clubs with women. Messi's case was regrettable, PSG fans are to blame for him leaving

but that's all part of the past, currently PSG is playing well, and yes they can reach the final and become champions, because like I said, in the champions league everything is possible. look at PSG's opponent, it will be the real society that is not doing well in the league and I see PSG managing to go to the other stage and if they are lucky to find another weak team, then they will be able to get very far, maybe they will reach the final and be champions. Manchester City are not doing very well, Real Madrid, despite winning games, are not doing very well either. so this year we will see surprises


if real madrid, manchester city and bayern are eliminated early, then we will see surprises, but if one of them reaches the final then we won't see any surprises, one of them will be champion, it's unbelievable how bayern and real madrid became the dominators of the Champions League, any team that crosses paths with Real Madrid or Bayern is afraid of being eliminated, and Lazio and Leipzig had the bad luck of playing against Bayern and Real Madrid, Leizpig and Lazio will be eliminated, I don't see Bayern winning and real madrid

[fullhdpixel]

I'm interested in the match between Napoli and Barcelona. I think it's hard to say which team will pass this round. Napoli are far from last season's performance but they are still a very good team. Other than that, I think the other matches have favorite teams. Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund are the favorites. The excitement in the Champions League will be more in the next round. Of course it is a bit early to talk about it but I don't expect too many surprises in this round.

Picking interest in watching Barcelona advances to the next phase. UCL round of 16 is out. The fixtures I'm seeing doesn't really pull any threat because we can easily predict the club's that come out winners and we might also predict the club. Napoli vs Barcelona is the tough fixtures in the UCL round of 16 this season. The Blaugrana are not in good shape this season but can they be able to maintain good game balance against Napoli. Xavi Hernandez doesn't have the capacity to win matches but his players can make him believe in the possible and reverse their direction to winning matches.

Now after the draw things are looking easier for few teams but still we have few matches which are going to have enough entertainment for the fans from these matches we have Barcelona vs Napoli because both are not good into their domestic leagues and their performance was also not good in Champions League early matches but still these teams having quality and performance which bring them into knock-out stage from here things are going to be more problematic specially for the Barcelona which is currently facing more troubles than Napoli and if they are not able to settle them and improve their performance then surely we can expect another dilemma for them which can bring them down in this event again like they have in last season.

[koang]

Every game will be boring. Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.
Both teams this season have produced great attacking numbers to go along with their great defense.
But I hope this is a good thing, as it will lead to the best quarterfinal matchups in history, assuming the favorites go through this round.

I don't completely agree, but in some games it's very easy to know who is the favorite. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and PSG are the favorites in their respective matches, while Napoli, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Inter, PSV and Dortmund are very difficult to determine.

Maybe we can see surprises in the Arsenal vs Porto and PSG vs Real Sociedad matches, but the two favorite teams are likely to perform well to qualify for the quarter-finals. PSG are starting to find good form with Luis Enrique, but they were not stable until their last match in Ligue 1 yesterday. Arsenal seems more likely to win, but Porto is a tough opponent.

[lixer]

First of all my favourites for this draw to reach the quarter finals are like these:

- Copenhagen - Manchester City

I'm only having second thoughts about my Inter pick. Because despite being really strong they are facing another strong team in this round. Atletico Madrid are much better in the Champions League this season so this could be an interesting draw.

We have draw of knock-out round and things are looking very interesting because we have no match which create early thrill now mostly big teams will head for the last eight where things could be more entertaining in March Madness after draw everyone is giving his predictions, and I am also going to have same but from this list I have just one different team which can go through for the next round all other teams I like for the promotion.

For the Match of Barcelona vs Napoli I have feeling here Napoli can give better than Barcelona even still anything can happen and prediction is not easy both teams are struggling and have no consistency, but Napoli is much better and can go through against Barcelona which is surely down in confidence and quality as well for the remaining matches of this season.

I would also mention the Napoli vs Barcelona game, quite interesting. I agree with you, moreover, it will not only be an interesting quarter-final, but also the rest of the stages. So far I think the favourites are Real Madrid and Bayern, but not Manchester City, who have been playing worse lately, maybe it's just temporary, but it's a fact.

Napoli was not as strong as last season, neither was Barcelona. If I compare the squad depth of the two teams, then I tend to believe Barcelona will qualify for the next round compared to Napoli. On the one hand, Napoli has changed a lot due to the change of coach this season, so the team's performance cannot always be expected to be good even though Barcelona is actually not that good either.

Barcelona and Napoli have both not been very good in defense this season. Both have conceded 19 goals in their respective leagues, but Barcelona have a great striker who can still be expected to deliver in the clash. I believe Barcelona will have a 65% advantage against Napoli, but it really depends on how they use their home game.

By the way, I immediately noticed this match, as the most difficult, I mean that it is not clear who is the favorite, and I may even be inclined to believe that Atlético has a good chance of beating Inter. City and Bayern will most likely not have any problems with their rivals, and Real and Leipzig will play productive football, but Real will most likely beat Leipzig as well.

[Richbased]

According All football, this is the knockout stage draws.
This draws us a bit fair because almost all teams were paired well, although some teams were lucky to have weak opponents that they are almost sure of their qualifying to the next round.

Arsenal might go far this season because their opponents are not too strong to stop their form even though almost half of the players did not have enough Champions League experience.

For me, apart from Copenhagen match against Manchester city all other matches are very though though I also consider Porto 🆚 Arsenal, PSV 🆚 Dortmund as matches that are not too competitive. Although, Real Madrid will surely win Leipzig then Bayern Munich will win Lazio. Napoli 🆚 Barcelona will be a strong match because with the current form of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, I think this match between Napoli and Barcelona will not be easy and considering that Napoli is playing at home will make them to be more confident and play better.

The team you pick as the favorite may be statistically correct but it is sometimes difficult to determine who wins, in this round of 16 there are always surprises where the big teams can always be knocked out, I am a bit skeptical about PSG because for me Real Sociedad is much better despite being ranked 6th in LaLiga.

I also highlight Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid this club looks equally strong but certainly we know how Inter Milan in Serie A this club controls the whole game and dominance there, but this is always different later, what is clear is that Inter Milan as runner up last season can still be maintained until the current season.

For the other matches I think it's easy to guess who will qualify.

With these round of 16, there are matches to look up to and focus on the big winnings and there are ones we absolutely should avoid. We all have favorite matches we awaits to watch and there are good fights for these clubs, especially the elite clubs that strive harder for significant positions on the table. I must say, this fixtures seems boring and there won't be entertaining efforts in the round 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Truth be told, all these fixtures seems uninteresting because the UCL board didn't make good efforts to put things together as expected.

Every game will be boring. Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.

You cannot say every game will be boring, this is the CL RO16 and the unexpected can happen, the teams that people have written off might cause some upsets and make the game tougher and more difficult for the bigger teams. Every match in the CL is tough, especially in the knockout stages. Of course the QF would be more interesting, but i feel there is going to be at least one upset in this RO16 stage, and i am looking forward to all the games.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich can be sure of qualifying for the next round this season because they don't have such tough opponents. Even though weak teams can sometimes cause surprises, I don't think Copenhagen, Leipzig and Lazio are able to stop the favorite teams above.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid cannot be sure of qualifying, neither do PSG, Dortmund and Arsenal. However, PSG and Arsenal seem to have a good chance of qualifying because Real Sociedad and Porto also don't have high hopes. PSG and Arsenal have good and experienced coaches, but things can still change because the round of 16 first leg will be played in mid-February.

what's with Manchester city they always match them with little team and they should better win, I also find all the match interesting most especially the Napoli vs Barcelona a must watch match although from the predictions have seen today a lot of people supporting Napoli and it's likely Napoli will win the match so let's just expect less from Barcelona, Arsenal vs Porto will be interesting but I will put all hope on Arsenal from what have seen and watched Arsenal seems better compared to Porto but the problem here is who will Arteta start with matters alot, I know Arsenal very well and in this match the starters matters alot, when it comes to a must win match we should give credit to Real Madrid cause they're definitely winning

By the way, I immediately noticed this match, as the most difficult, I mean that it is not clear who is the favorite, and I may even be inclined to believe that Atlético has a good chance of beating Inter. City and Bayern will most likely not have any problems with their rivals, and Real and Leipzig will play productive football, but Real will most likely beat Leipzig as well.

It will be very interesting to see the results of the draw for the round of 16, especially seeing Leipzig being Real Madrid's opponents. It's all very easy to expect because I think Leipzig will be closer to failure this season in the Champions League. Nothing can stop Real Madrid and I believe Real Madrid can progress to the next round easily.

Barcelona, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid will not necessarily qualify, they have really tough opponents to beat. The only team that has big hopes from La Liga is Real Madrid, the rest depends on how they knock out their opponents at home.

[Stepstowealth]

- Copenhagen - Manchester City

Clear results that Manchester City to win, Creative expert Kevin De Bruyne will be available for this game, and that massively improves MCI's chances to win.

- Leipzig - Real Madrid

Real Madrid have the quality and experience to comfortably send Leipzig home.

- Lazio - Bayern Munich

Harry Kane Magic!

- PSG - Real Sociedad

PSG can loose this game, I do not yet trust the team.

- Inter - Atletico Madrid

I go with Inter Milan too, they are playing very well this season, and I think even more than Atletico Madrid.

- PSV - Dortmund

If Dortmund looses, they will be a big disgrace to germany.

- Porto - Arsenal

Arsenal will need to sort new players to toughen up their team and strengthen their attack in the transfer opportunity to increase their chances.

- Napoli - Barcelona

Napoli may not have Osimhen by February.

[kawetsriyanto]

Every game will be boring.

Why? What do you expect for the match?
Do you dream to see all the big matches in this round?  
I think the result of the draw is good enough. Big matches are better in the semi-final round.

Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.
Both teams this season have produced great attacking numbers to go along with their great defense.
But I hope this is a good thing, as it will lead to the best quarterfinal matchups in history, assuming the favorites go through this round.

Sure, Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid will be an interesting match.
I think both teams have almost the same quality. However, Inter Milan seems to have a better defense, Atletico Madrid isn't likely to have a very strong defense. Atletico Madrid only has a good attacking because they have some good attackers. Meanwhile, Inter Milan seems to have good players in any line. They have strong defenders, good midfielders, and strong attackers. I assume, Inter Milan seems a bit better, they will have a bigger chance to win against Atletico Madrid.

By the way, the match Napoli vs Barcelona is also interesting. I think they are quite equal, the match should be tight. 

[Abu-Naim]

- Copenhagen - Manchester City

Clear results that Manchester City to win, Creative expert Kevin De Bruyne will be available for this game, and that massively improves MCI's chances to win.

The return of Kevin De Bruyne will be a massive boost for Manchester City, it will help them to return to their form.
Copenhagen is a good team defensively that is why I was thinking that can be an obstacle to City, but with the return from of  
De Bruyne in the squad, it will help them have an easy win.

- Porto - Arsenal

Arsenal will need to sort new players to toughen up their team and strengthen their attack in the transfer opportunity to increase their chances.

With Arsenal’s current squad, defeating FC Porto  should not be a big deal since they were able to beat Manchester City this season in the Premier league league, but if they signed more players, it will of advantage to the team in order to give them
