UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Coyster]

It will be fun to know if this will be the last real Champions league or not.

Fotball has changed yesterday.

The CL group stage format has been changed and will take effect from the 2024/2025 season, if that is what you are talking about. However, if you are talking about the Super League and the European court of justice's ruling yesterday, then nothing is going to change because most of the big clubs have already released statements rejecting the Super League and that they would continue only with the CL. If all the big clubs that were initially keep on the Super League back in 2021 were still interested in the competition, then there might have been a change in European football, but for now i think everything would remain the same way.

[Raflesia]

Therefore, I think it's natural that Barcelona won the group but still, there is no guarantee for Barcelona to be able to go further in this knockout phase . But ya, about for the match against Napoli who are not doing well at this moment, then at least Barcelona have a chance than Napoli . But still, for me the chance that Barcelona has to win is not so good either, because basically Napoli is also not a weak team at all.

Seeing from the opponents they faced in the group phase, it is very natural for Barcelona to qualify and even become group winners because after all the comparison of the location of its strength is very different if we talk about strength and experience, Barcelona has a big advantage when compared to its opponents.

But the test is after they qualify because after all this seems to be a real enough test for Barcelona because it will face strong opponents.
Napoli and Barcelona have met before and I think they should be aware of their strengths even though it was 2 seasons ago but the difference is not too far even though the performance is different this time but in terms of attack Napoli and Barcelona are still the same.
Currently both also have almost the same problem where their finishing is not very good so this can be a reference for Barcelona and Napoli especially since the match is still very long to start so they can still stabilize themselves in the competition in the Champions League later.

I believe that Harry Kane has a really big role in Bayern Munich's being shown as the second biggest favourite for the Champions League title by bookmakers.

Because his contribution level in his first year there is just incredible.    He is a goal machine literally everywhere right now. He has been making contribution in two ways in the Champions League - goals and assists both. As long as he is in form like this Bayern Munich always have a chance for playing at least in the finale. But the team performance should stay solid in the meantime. Because they weren't reliable in the group stage as much as they have been in the Bundesliga. 

Harry Kane has no time to fight not quarrel, always in the right place readying for the pass that'll lead to goal. He gave Bayern Munich what they was looking for exactly since Robert Lewandoski left the club. The only thing I don't want for Bayern Munich is for them not to win the Bundesliga, they have won too much and made the Bundesliga League Competition already too boring to follow up and watch.

I haven't seen the goals he's scored for Bayern Munich during the Champions League games but I have followed the Bundesliga. Believe me, he'll score more goals in the remaining half ahead.
Bayern Munich really made a goos choice and same for Kane. Failure to move and he'll never get the chance to play for such a high Club.

If he doesn't get injured his chances are good that he will set a few new records this season with his goals, but I don't think Bayern Munich is ready for the Champions League title. Lazio won't be the hardest hurdle for them to take, but I would see Bayern Munich at a disadvantage against Real Madrid, Manchester City and Inter Milan. When I say disadvantage, it doesn't mean that they have no chance. It means that I believe they would be slightly behind. I saw a few games when they showed their bad face. But we have to be patient anyway. The break until the next round starts is too long.

[asriloni]

Lazio is too weak to play against Bayern Munich in the Uefa Champions League. Lazio and Bayern Munich are not on the same level in terms of winning trophies and playing good football. Bayern Munich will just have an easy ride over Lazio, and the match will not be interesting to watch.

Yes, it was quite unlucky for Lazio to meet Bayern Munich too quickly, Bayern Munich, which is currently on fire, is definitely the favorite to win the match, Bayern Munich is currently in second place in the Bundesliga with only one defeat, as well as in the Champions League group phase, which is Bayern Munich managed to reach the top of the standings without defeat, in contrast to Lazio which is actually in bad condition in the league and it is even lucky for Lazio to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League at this time, although football is difficult to predict but in this case I am quite confident that 99 .99% lazio will soon be eliminated from the champions league.

Me too, if we are seeing it based on the statistic and bayern munich is far better in all of the aspects. Lazio is also still struggling in the serie a as well. The chance for this club to qualify is pretty small though but who knows if lazio can make it by rely upon the miracle.
Lazio was not performing so well but bayern shall not also underestimate it. It's not an acceptable result to lose against lazio caused by we do know that how big the valuation owned by bayern this time. It's far greater compared to the lazio and it was representing the quality from the club caused by the price being determine by how good the players that available in the squad. Kane is more than ready to fight against lazio and lazio may be playing fully defensive against bayern.
The only thing that needs to be worried by bayern when its opponent used low blocks. It's caused by bayern will be much more difficult to beat it caused by parking bus is going to happen from lazio.
As long as lazio will play openly against bayern and tuchel's squad will win against it.

This will be one of the most challenging competitions in the 16th century. Barcelona vs Napoli. Both of them have not been at their best this season due to several problems occurring within their clubs. But at least, they are strong enough for each other, so they still have a chance. It's quite difficult to predict, but it's possible that Barcelona will come out on top if you look at how prepared the club is so far. Moreover, Napoli is having basic problems, especially those related to their coaching,

One of the most challenging competitions indeed but not the only challenging as we also have a face off between the Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. I see that as another very tough match being that Inter Milan are known for their great performance in the UEFA championship including the last season where they made it to the finals against the Manchester City but we're pretty sure that may be a bit more difficult this season.

Another interesting part of the game is that both teams have met only once in a serious competition especially as both teams have the advantage of using full squad to play the games and although the last time they met, Atletico won over Inter but I don't thing it wil that easy to do.

The match between Barcelona and Napoli is the only UCL playoff match with 50-50 chance. Although I believe Barcelona has an edge.

Both Napoli and Barcelona are struggling at this moment. But this is the UEFA Champions League and it brings the best out of everyone.  Barcelona has a legacy and a history. Barcelona won their last match against Almeria but they struggled really hard. I don't see Barcelona finishing above the 3rd place this season in La Liga unless Girona messes up really badly. Atletico Madrid are above them now.

Napoli on the other hand just suffered a huge loss in Copa Italia against a mid-tier team. They are in 5th place and not looking very good. Both Barcelona and Napoli will be hoping to get back before their matches in February.

Barcelona and Napoli are currently struggling, I think Napoli is way worse. But In the Champions League, teams often find a different level of motivation and performance, and past struggles in domestic leagues might not necessarily carry over to European competitions. Barcelona have legacy and rich in the Champions League, with multiple titles and memorable performances that suggests an ability to rise to the occasion in crucial matches.

Champions League brings out the best in everyone is a crucial point. I think Barcelona is more familiar with this tournament that give them advantage in mentaity aspect. Both Barcelona and Napoli will be hoping to recover before their matches in February. This is the importance of the period leading up to the fixture, where teams can address their issues, regain form, and approach the Champions League clash with renewed confidence.

[AYOBA]

You right placing bet early get very risk because we can't predictable with current line up or both teams regular player injury or not due round of 16 will play two months later of February next year. Better placing bet when few days left before match begin and checking the player name list announce by each official team are ready for Champion League round of 16 match. Left many domestic league matches for both team and actually all possibilities happening with Bayern Munich or Lazio players will get injury.

It doesn't even make sense to placing bet early, what you get from it? nothing. The odds will keep changing, so even you bet very early, the odds you get is a same like when you bet at the last second before the match started.

Moreover, the winter transfer window isn't yet open, there's a possibility if the underdog team sign a star player, this could make people think the team would be strong.

I believe that anyone who tries to placing a bet early is just wasting their money because it is not even advisable for someone to do so because the odds of every game are just temporary and subject to alter at any time. If I were to placing a bet, I would want to do so within Dai minutes of the event. I think that one will yield greater profits than making an early wager. What happens if you wager and the game is subsequently postponed? The individual will experience regret over losing money in addition to discomfort.

For round 16 Barcelona can still be relied on I'm sure they will qualify for the next round but after round 16 we don't know which team will be their next opponent if the next opponent is a club from the Premier League then Barcelona will be kicked out basically, Barcelona will find it difficult to go further. The thing that concerns us is that next January the transfer window will open each team can bring in new players who can change their strengths while the champions league will resume in February this means our predictions today can change and be irrelevant for the next 2 months. who knows, Barcelona might bring in a new player to replace Lewandowski  because this player is considered irrelevant.

How are you sure that Barcelona will be kicked out of the Uefa Champions League if they are drawn with a Premier League club? For me, if Barcelona continues to perform the way they did in the Uefa Champions League group stage, they will be kicked out in round 16 of the Uefa Champions League by Napoli.

[Mayor of ogba]

I agree that Paris Saint-German has a good squad depth but the PSG squad is not performing well this season, even in their League, PSG still finds it difficult to win matches. I wish PSG was in a better position to win this year's Uefa Champions League because they have spent a lot of money so that they can win the Uefa Champions League.

PSG is a failed team, the have money but they can't develop their team. Since they can hire good coach and good players, that's make them able to dominating in their domestic league. When it comes to international league, they can't force themselves to be better since they lack of chemistry.

Mbappe is a selfish player, but the best player in PSG. Losing him will make PSG become weak, at the same time the team could able to develop because there's no seniority anymore.

I think one of the major problems Paris Saint-German is having is finding the right coach who can guide the club to the Uefa Champions League glory. In the past years, PSG has players like Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe yet they did not win the UEFA Champions League trophy. France - Ligue 1 is not competitive which is why PSG ended up winning the France - Ligue 1 title, even when they were not in their best form.

Elite clubs are the top teams in leagues and they're well concentrated upon without tiny challenges. A club that's enlisted to be an elite club, suppose to know its not easy as it seems because numerous challenges comes on the club's path and they might not make it out alive. Barcelona vs Napoli happens to be the tough game in the round of 16 this season. Both clubs have been struggling to fit but they couldn't due to their inconsistency in matches played. Barcelona lacks the form they were last season, when they lifted the La Liga trophy and we all know the source that originated Napoli problem. Since the absence of Luciano Spalleti from Diego Maradona stadium, things have been really messy and frustrating for Gli Azzuri this season.

If we talk on the basis of recent performance we should applaud Napoli's performance. Although Napoli have not performed very well in Italy's domestic league, they have performed well in Europe. They have been doing very well in European competitions recently. In UEFA's recent schedule Not only Barcelona but also Atlético Madrid have got a tough opponent. If we expect another good match after Barcelona in this stage, it will be Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid. Most fans are waiting for the next match of Barcelona and they are in vacillation with the upcoming match will they win or not.

Mbappe is a selfish player, but the best player in PSG. Losing him will make PSG become weak, at the same time the team could able to develop because there's no seniority anymore.

PSG's problem is challenging to solve. Even last season, they had a series of stars but failed in this arena. Kylian Mbappe's story always makes the press waste a lot of ink. I don't think he's selfish; he's carrying a big responsibility for the team. If Kylian Mbappe leaves in the next transfer window, what do you think PSG will do? Of course, they will still find a star to replace him, but will they be able to do as well as Mbappe? The future of Kylian Mbappé has become a big concern recently. After he refused to activate the extension clause with PSG, the management will have a headache.
I will say that PSG coaches are not talented enough to tame a wild horse like him. He is excellent. I believe that finding a talented coach will help PSG develop more.

Inter milan is really really strong right now. Im not underestimated it but intermilan was able to perform even better than last season. The only important question whether the club will not be using lautaro in the match against atletico madrid.
I have heard that if lautaro martinez potentially injured due to the last match. It will be a vey bad for intermilan caused by we do kno that lautaro martinez was the main weapon owned by intermilan.
Im not really sure intermilan to win against atletico madrid without him. Lautaro has been playing a very important roles in this game. Im not even calling intermilan will be bad without him but lautaro is holding the key for intermilan to repeat last season.
he is the main striker owned by intermilan and his performance is the best.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

The results that will be obtained depend on Barcelona performance, Napoli are also not in their best condition. Barcelona and Napoli will try to give their best performance in order to advance to the next round. In the last few matches, Barcelona has had difficulty finding their best performance, they are also starting to lag far behind Real Madrid who are at the top of the La Liga standings.

There will be two legs so anything can still happen, both teams still have time to make preparations to improve the team's performance. Whatever predictions may change if one or both of them succeed in increasing the strength of their squad in the January transfer market, Xavi will try to strengthen the front line which has lost its sharpness since Lewandowski's goal productivity decreased.

[Helena Yu]

I have heard that if lautaro martinez potentially injured due to the last match. It will be a vey bad for intermilan caused by we do kno that lautaro martinez was the main weapon owned by intermilan.

he is the main striker owned by intermilan and his performance is the best.

It's only need 2 weeks for the injury to be recovered, while the match Atletico Madrid vs Inter will happen in the next three months lol. There's no need to worry, it's still long to go and we don't know what will happen next, it could be Martinez suffer ACL injury and make him out from season or it's the other player etc.

Inter doesn't really depend on Martinez anymore, they already have Thuram.

[wildey]

How are you sure that Barcelona will be kicked out of the Uefa Champions League if they are drawn with a Premier League club? For me, if Barcelona continues to perform the way they did in the Uefa Champions League group stage, they will be kicked out in round 16 of the Uefa Champions League by Napoli.

I only compare the performance of each club in the group stage and in my opinion the club from the Premier League is more convincing while between Barcelona and Napoli I think Barcelona can still be favored if we see based on the last performance of each club. This is just my personal opinion you can agree or ignore it but of course I took a comparison of the last performance of the two teams and this prediction is not permanent because I have said the strength of each club can change if they are actively bringing new players in the transfer window. Another thing that makes me sure Barcelona can beat Napoli is based on schedule, the first leg will be played at Napoli home then the 2nd leg at the Barcelona home well usually the 2nd leg as a determinant and Barcelona as a home team has an advantage.

[Jegileman]

I think one of the major problems Paris Saint-German is having is finding the right coach who can guide the club to the Uefa Champions League glory. In the past years, PSG has players like Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe yet they did not win the UEFA Champions League trophy. France - Ligue 1 is not competitive which is why PSG ended up winning the France - Ligue 1 title, even when they were not in their best form.

You can’t conclude so easily in that manner that Ligue 1 is not that competitive and that made them not to win the champions league trophy. Before Messi, Neymar and Mbappe joined PSG, they do go far in the champions league and they get eliminated in almost the final stages of the competition. Will you still say the league was a bit competitive to them than now? It is just the case of a good manager and a good management by him, if he fails in that aspect, even when you have the best players in the world put together in one team, you’ll always not see good result when you play a game. They had the best players and couldn’t use them well and that led to their elimination from the champions league and not because of the league they’re playing in.

Inter doesn't really depend on Martinez anymore, they already have Thuram.

Regarding with some media news I read, Lutaro Martinez not face with serious injury and he will be ready next year or one month before facing Atletico Madrid round of 16. Inter Milan not confirmed yet with Lutaro Martinez need how many week recovery his injury and I think better waiting official confirmation with Lutaro Martinez will absent how many weeks later. Actually Inter Milan is not only with Lutaro Martinez, they have many good players on attacking line Marcus Thuram have quit well performance in this season and Inter Milan with many great attacking midfielder for replacing Lutaro Martinez scoring goals.
If Lutaro Martinez have been absent against Atletico Madrid I don't think its big loss for Inter Milan and Simione Inzaghi will try other option as one striker only with his scheme.
