UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Asiska02]

PSG are just very lucky that they have one of the most comfortable draws in this stage. However Real Sociedad are still a team not to be underestimated. Because they finished their group as the leader and there was Inter in that group as well. Inter are currently performing much better than PSG in the Champions League.

Therefore PSG had better get well-prepared for this matchup. Otherwise I won't be surprised to see them being eliminated. In the end PSG were nearly finding themselves in the Europa League if it weren't for Milan's comeback against Newcastle. 

I would be more careful with your wording about Real Sociedad. Inter Milan was not able to beat them at the Guiseppe-Meazza-Stadium and Real Sociedad was the team with more ball possession, which is really tough to do against Inter Milan when they play at home.

In La Liga they are not quite as good this season as I expected them to be, but still beating them is hard. Whenever they lose those games are tight games. I would not think that PSG will have two easy games against them.

In my opinion, Real Sociedad will not be able to compete with PSG in the round of 16 of the Champions League because PSG has more experienced players than Real Sociedad. This does not mean that because they are performing well in the league, they will be able to defeat PSG because PSG is a big club, but they do not have a talented coach like Guardiola or Ancelotti who can help them win the Champions League trophy, because PSG qualifies for the competition every season but fails to defeat others big clubs and win the trophy, and I don't think they can still win this season because when Messi and Neymar are at the club, they are supposed to win the trophy, but they failed to defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League which I believe was their best chance that year, because they are in good shape and deserve to beat Madrid. Let's see how they play in round 16 versus Real Sociedad to see whether they can compete and advance to the next round because anything can happen.

These injuries are due to them being overworked due to the current schedule. They have games after games, International matches, Cup matches and European League matches if you are from a good team, which Kevin De Bruyne is. Oluwa-btc, So you saying Kevin De Bruyne should be sold is literally absurd. Due to him being injured, Manchester City is really struggling. He, Rodri, and Haaland are the 3 key players I see in Manchester City's squad right now.

So many teams are currently suffering due to a big injury list, Real Madrid, Manchester United and so many more. Some players are injury prone and these tough schedules just multiplies chances of them getting injured. So a team should have a backup ready for the key players just in case they get injured and should be rested properly for the big matches to come.

Erling Haaland, Doku and Rodri are all overworked you feel me? But they don't pick up these injuries just like Kevin De Bruyne. Last season he was also absent but thanks to the availability of IIkay Gundogan, Bernado Silva and Mahrez who made sure of creativity within the club. This is my opinion on the Belgian International. City would not want that though, they're a side with lots of funds to get a replacement for him. Absurd? Say whatever you like, that's your opinion.

Go check how these players get Injured and compare you man with em. Kevin De Bruyne Injury alone affects the club and everything. I don't have lots to saay.

Even if you are right and Mancsher City had a bad performance because of their player Kevin De Bruyne getting injured, I still think they had to have an alternative player in the same level to help the team in this situation and that's not good for a team like Manchester Cty to be dependent to a player like this.
Regardless of that, I'm waiting to see how Manchester City is going to perform in the Champions League after Kevin De Bruyne got recovered when they won't have any reason for the weak performance in the team.

Because they finished their group as the leader and there was Inter in that group as well. Inter are currently performing much better than PSG in the Champions League.

Therefore PSG had better get well-prepared for this matchup. Otherwise I won't be surprised to see them being eliminated. In the end PSG were nearly finding themselves in the Europa League if it weren't for Milan's comeback against Newcastle. 

It seems to me it is fair to say that at this stage there are no easy teams to face, there are a few teams that could be ahead of others like Real Madrid, but if PSG players do not give it all they could lose against Real Sociedad if they are not careful, plus Real Sociedad will have the advantage of holding the second leg of the round of 16 on their stadium, meaning that PSG is forced to get a positive result on their stadium, and if they fail to do this their chances to move to the quarterfinals will seriously drop.

[Docnaster]

A player like Kevin De Bruyne should also be sold out of Manchester City, he be picking all of these injuries and it's been affecting his game and also his value of and on the pitch. He should be sold out now when they have his value high. A move to one of the Saudi Arabian Premier League would make perfect sense honestly.

Yeah you actually have a point because in most cases if a player stayed this long on injury is very certain that his performance will be seriously affected and going back to his previous performance will be very difficult and when everybody realizes that he is no longer performing the way he use to, it will affect his worth, so just like you said the best way now is to sell Kevin de Bruyne because nobody knows how he is going to perform, well I believe that Pep Guardiola knows exactly what he is doing so I believe he has a plan or perhaps Kelvin de Bruyne first day of the match after recovery will determine if actually he is going to stay on Manchester City or he going to be sold, so I think that's what Pep Guardiola is trying to evaluate before making any decision because he knows how important Kelvin de Bruyne is on Manchester City, so hopefully Kelvin de Bruyne may likely come back fully on January so let's see how his performance will be.

It is very bad and evil to think the way you guys are thinking. What do you think that they call management and why are coaches called managers. It is not necessarily winning matches and lifting trophies. Most times these coaches act as fathers to the players and the individual contributions of players are often reciprocated by the club in one way or the other. If you happen to be a coach, you willake a very bad coach .

Just because KDB has been injured, you started suggesting that he should be sold so that his value will not drop. What do you have to say when KDB was the architect of Manchester city winning trophies. Because he isn't involved this year you simply want to sell him rather than protect and guide him in his trying times. Football is a game of love, we should try to share love.

Indeed, there is still no player who can replace Lautaro Martinez's role at Inter. He has always been Inter's attack motor and is also the current top scorer. The injury suffered will of course be a blow to Inter and also Inzaghi who must make a strategy to be able to fight back against Atletico. because it was clear that the fate of the two teams was not so good when they had to meet earlier. in the round of 16.

Just hope that before the second match, Lautaro Martinez can be confirmed as recovered. Inzaghi may not be able to force the healing process. but he certainly hoped he wouldn't be long.

I think this is something that no team wants. Injuries to key players have a very negative impact on the team's performance, especially if it is an elite level competition such as the Champions League. This is the same as the injuries to Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne at City which will cause their performance to decline drastically. Inter have to face Atletico which is of course a difficult match. It will be interesting to see how Inzaghi will strategize to deal with this problem.

When facing Bologna, Martinez was injured and that was a very bad dream for Inter, in the Inter squad itself there were no players like Martinez, fortunately, the UCL match between Inter vs Atletico Madrid will take place in February next year, there is still time for Martinez to recover from his injury.

Meanwhile for Man City, their performance immediately changed drastically because their main players were injured, even though there are many important matches that Man City will experience in the future, but I'm sure Pep Guardiola's target is the recovery of their injured core players, even though the next match will be Man City. City will face Copenhagen but this victory cannot be taken lightly, Copenhagen could give a big surprise.

Let's see how they play in round 16 versus Real Sociedad to see whether they can compete and advance to the next round because anything can happen.

You can't compare this PSG team with the Barcelona team that Luis Enrique once managed and won the Champions League title with. PSG has several good names on paper, but they have had their problems in the Champions League as well. They could not beat Dortmund in the second game and they got destroyed by Newcastle 4-1 in the first game and couldn't win the second game either. Where is Newcastle now? Out, they are not even in the Europa League.

I think these results in the group stage are reason enough for Real Sociedad to assume that they have a good chance to progress to the quarterfinals. I am not saying they are the favorite, but I am saying they have a good chance.

[wakier]

Without Lautaro Martinez, it will be very difficult for Inter Milan to win against Atletico Madrid. Inter Milan is a strong team but the key player in their squad is Lautaro Martinez. Scored 15 goals and 2 assists in 16 matches in Serie A. In every match we have seen excellent gameplay from Lautaro Martinez. Atletico Madrid is not a weak team. They have talented players like Griezmann, Depay, Morata and Correa in their attack. And so defeating this team will not be an easy task at all. However, Inter Milan's defense is very strong. Therefore, the Inter Milan team is considered as the favorite in this match. However, if Martinez is in the squad for this match, I've decided to bet Inter Milan to win.

So far we are only talking about the fact that Martinez will miss all matches in 2023, and these are matches with Lecce and Genoa, and what will happen next is unknown, but I have not seen any mention that the injury is so serious that he will have to miss the Champions League matches with Atletico, I think that by this time he will be able to return to the game. Against a defense like Atletico's, Martinez will be a very useful player.

Yes, it is very likely that Martinez will miss 2 matches at the end of 2023 against Lecce and Genoa, however Inter is still the favorite because Inter still has Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Marcus Turam who Inter can rely on to score goals and win. Moreover, Inter's defense is very strong so it is very unlikely that Lecce and Genoa will be able to beat Inter by breaking through Inter's defense even though Martinez is not in the team.

I hope that the muscle injury suffered by Martinez can recover quickly. There has been no further news regarding how long Martinez will be out, but I hope that Martinez can recover soon and return to strengthening Inter.

It's not a bad opinion and you have a reason to say it, for me the main strength of Real Sociedad is in defense, maybe in the group stage Real Sociedad can rely on defensive games to continue to collect points but in round 16 the elimination system will be applied this means that it is not enough to rely on defense each team must collaborate between attacks and defense so who is better? PSG who relies on attacks or Real Sociedad that rely on defense we will see it in the upcoming match and if you ask me then I prefer a club that relies on attacks. In my opinion, PSG will qualify from round 16 and Real Sociedad must come out earlier, I might be wrong but this is a prediction.

It's true that PSG is compared to Barcelona when luiz enrique coached is not comparable, in the era enrique coached the Barcelona squad was the champion squad of the guardiola era. there are big names messi xavi hernandez and more. so if luiz enrique's size is clearly not comparable. but for real socieded to beat PSG is also not very easy, which is favored in this match is clearly PSG. in addition to his squad with many stars enrique is also very familiar with how to play Spanish clubs. besides being Spanish almost his entire career enrique also played in the Spanish league.
And Real Socieded can be the group winner is also very lucky not because of the good quality of the game.

As long as he will comeback again in a short time and it will be a serious problem for sure. Lautaro martinez has become one of most important player this season. It's caused by a lot of goals owned by intermilan scored by him.
No doubt that if intermilan is feeling bad to hear that but the good news is lautaro martinez will be coming back again soon. This is giving intermilan another hope to survive in the UCL till the final like last season.
Intermilan must do another improvement caused by it's going to face another strong club in the next round of UCL. Intermilan gets sociedad as its opponent. Sociedad was playing offensively against its opponent.
Intermilan can use low blocks to defending itself from any attack that was coming from real sociedad. Intermilan will be cooking against sociedad. It's just matter of time till sociedad will leave from UCL soon.
Im all in intermilan caused by we do know that how good intermilan this time. It has strong defense and attack.

I think these results in the group stage are reason enough for Real Sociedad to assume that they have a good chance to progress to the quarterfinals. I am not saying they are the favorite, but I am saying they have a good chance.

I also think that way. Even though PSG is very strong in Ligue 1, competition in the Champions League is of course at a different level. Their defeat against Newcastle in the group stage slightly shows that their performance in the Champions League is not very good. Currently, Real Sociedad may not be like last season where they were quite strong in La Liga and were in fourth place in the final standings. But there are still those who think Real Sociedad has a better chance than PSG in the round of 16.

You think PSG will go far in this quarter finals stage, if you look at their performance in their group from the beginning of the tournament, you will know that there are many strong teams that will frustrate their plan not to lift the trophy. You know that Newcastle united are experiencing some problem from their players that are into injuries and it has given many teams the opportunity to take advantage of them in their group.

Since the next stage will soon start for people to know if Real sociedad has the skills to withstand PSG in this stage but, I know that PSG still have some potential players that can make things work and happen in this game but it will be difficult for them to get the victory easily in their next games without proper organized.

And Real Socieded can be the group winner is also very lucky not because of the good quality of the game.

Here we can give advantage to PSG even still we have to watch all things on ground, but comparably we can say PSG is strong side and Real Sociedad which is currently having sixth spot, and they have the best defence, but their attack is also not effective which is needed for the better results in Champions League specially for the knock-out round where things are mostly needs aggressive performance from the teams for the better results.

PSG having lethal attack which can break their defence and backbone as well and with this all Real Sociedad is having no attack which can give them good results in last three games they have two games without scoring any goal which is also giving all details how things are working for them in this season in La Liga in group stages they were not able to score goals against Inter Milan and Salzburg in away game and at home as well.

With no one having any update about this injury, but good thing is for the Inter Milan at the end of December they are having not tough match and in January their mostly matches are against weaker sides which are giving them good advantage with they can afford to rest his main player for having 100% fitness before big matches which will be good for the player and team as well.

Even most of the time we have no long term absence due to these muscles related injuries but still until we have any update from the club no one can give any news about this Thuram and Arnautovic done good job against Lecce for their win with the score of 2–0.

What more of an update do you need when it was said that he is missing the next game and then he will be back as soon as the season resumes after the little break? That is what someone posted here as it was Martinez himself who gave an update as it seems. On some websites it is said that he is expected to be back immediately by the beginning of January, so in a worst case scenario he would be missing the game against Genoa and that's it. I am sure they wouldn't take any risks, but he is not a player who is known for being injured a lot.

If you compare PSG with Real Sociedad then I can say that PSG is much better than Real Sociedad. Many people say Real Sociedad is much better because they play in La Liga but I see that Sociedad this season has some problems with their defense. This is of course a big weakness because we know PSG has a striker like Mbappe who of course can pose the biggest threat to Sociedad.

But there are still those who think Real Sociedad has a better chance than PSG in the round of 16.

Even I will give both teams an equal chance to qualify from the round of 16. Both teams were not that bad in the group stage matches and they both did well to fight themselves to this stage they are now. At the moment, even when I know that PSG will be given a more favoritism to win this match, Real Soceidad will also have a good opportunity to also scale through to the the quarterfinals. It is now a match that can easily be decidable until the game is played.

Many people say Real Sociedad is much better because they play in La Liga but I see that Sociedad this season has some problems with their defense. This is of course a big weakness because we know PSG has a striker like Mbappe who of course can pose the biggest threat to Sociedad.

There are strikers that are confident and can deliver crucial tasks for their clubs and also become saviors of their perspective clubs. I will keep repeating this, the day PSG loses Kylian Mbappe to the transfer market and another elite club secure his signature, that would be one of the great loss of player for PSG this season. I now see reasons why PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is working extremely hard to keep the player in Parc des Princes stadium. PSG flop against the club's we expected them to beat easily but these clubs turned out to become a big challenge for Les Parisiens and they couldn't net any significant points against them, rather they loses points.

From the experience without doubt PSG far better than Sociedad because although PSG always be failed to gets the trophy from this competition but they always be as champion favourite for each season PSG even can reach to the final match several years ago so they are obviously more better than Sociedad but i have to says this season PSG performance a bit decline because they have to hard struggle to qualified even PSG position on league standings have to determined on the last match of group stages

In my opinion Sociedad cannot be underestimate because at group stages Sociedad performance was more better compared to PSG and Sociedad can successfully to occupy first place at the end of group stages and the recent performance from both teams is equally same because they are still unbeatable at their domestic league in the last 5 matches and for the first leg PSG will playing as a host and i am sure they will be taking initiative to playing attacking and dominate the game and if PSG can able to beat Sociedad then their journey for second leg will be more easy

Indeed, this is quite difficult to predict because Real Sociedad has quite strong strength this season and in fact it was quite surprising to many people that they managed to escape from the group as leaders of the standings and on the other hand PSG is also unstable in performance and the strength of the PSG team is not better from last season so the percentage of these two teams that can qualify from the round of 16 I think is still the same.
