UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Hyphen(-)]

Therefore, it is clear that Bruyne has suffered a serious injury, because it requires a very long recovery. Moreover, based on existing records, at least Haaland get injured too. But yes, fortunately Haaland did not suffer a serious injury so Haaland was still able to play. So ya, with these factors, I think it is natural that Manchester City is experiencing a decline in performance, because many key players are injured. Therefore, perhaps Manchester City no longer has a big chance of getting to the Champions League final this season.

Most of their injured players will soon be back because Kevin De Bruyne has almost fully recovered, and he is one of the key players in Manchester City's squad; therefore, if he recovers fully, the Manchester City squad will have some strength and will be a better team. Although only he can make the team better, there are other players in the team who are playing very well and will do well before Haaland recovers from injury. Nevertheless, even if all of them are back from injury, their chance of going to the Champions League final this season is not guaranteed because they don't have as strong a squad as they used to have in previous seasons, unless they sign more players in January, which might affect the team financially through Financial Fair Play.

PSG's performance in the Champions League is a bit doubtful because PSG doesn't seem to have the enthusiasm to play in the Champions League, they are just trying to fight hard to qualify for the round of 16 and look like they are having difficulty getting there, but indeed PSG is in quite a tough team like Milan and Dortmund so that This made PSG have to fight hard to qualify and it was fortunate that PSG was able to qualify with only a goal difference from Milan.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad is also in a tough group like Inter and Benfica, but Real Sociedad has not experienced a defeat at all, even though this is the first time Real Sociedad has competed in the Champions League, but this club was able to emerge as group winners even though it has the same points as Inter.

Real Sociedad's enthusiasm cannot be doubted and it looks like PSG will experience difficulties when facing Real Sociedad, but PSG experience competing in the Champions League cannot be denied but if PSG cannot achieve unexpected results, it will still be difficult for PSG to advance to the next rounds.

PSG are a good side but they've not really been so good as one would expect them to be. Even their advancement was a narrow one and then they're fixed with a new coming team to the UCL who are eager and hungry to compete and still go far in the contest. PSG still got a shot though, well let's see how far they'll get this season in the UCL tournament.

Not trying to be little Sociedad but PSG has got players with UCL experiences and then judging with that they've got an upper hand but for Sociedad, even though they're newbies to the tournament, they had an intriguing record in the group stage ans so they ought to be given that respect that's deserving of them. They're still a threat. They're doing well also in the La Liga and they seem like real goal getters. All will be concluded after the first leg results in February.

I agree with you that Real Sociedad deserves the respect it deserves, qualifying as group winners and competing closely with Inter Milan is a signal that PSG needs to be wary of. In terms of attributes and experience of playing in the UCL, PSG has a better advantage, but we cannot use that as a complete benchmark. Sociedad didn't make it through to the last 16 easily either, it was their strength and effort that got them through at this stage.

I want to see this meeting from Luis Enrique point of view, his experience coaching Barcelona and the Spanish National Team gives PSG an advantage when meeting Sociedad. The advantage I mean is that Enrique really understands the character of the Spanish representative, so he can prepare his squad well to beat Sociedad.

It's true that PSG this season is far from great in the UCL, but I feel that to qualify for the quarter-finals they can do it. This is a moment that PSG must make good use of, while Mabeppe is still at the club. Yes, we need to wait to see how each of them performs before february, many things have changed because there are several matches that must be finished first.

Do you know how long Kevin De Bruyne have been away for Manchester City? If I'm recalling correctly, he's been out Injured since the Super Cup finals against Sevilla and during that game he didn't play for too long, no direct contact was seen from any player and someone here be saying we evil for giving our own opinions on matters. If they're not mature enough to ignore things, they should try not to become a prick.

For long term plans, I feel like they should plan ahead for a possible replacement. Check the performance of Erling Haaland, is it same as that of his first season? He has the best passes and combination from Kevin De Bruyne. He be still the leading goal scoring player but has seen a drop also struggles with his goals and contributions.

Even top teams with big finances are not always able to play at the highest level, recessions are a normal phenomenon and this is normal not only for the team but also for the players. Haaland showed excellent results in the previous season and set many records, do you think it’s so easy to exceed your achievements every year? Don't worry, Guardiola is a great coach and if he needs new players he will find them.

Well of course him being injured is going to have an effect on his performance. But at the same time it is also true that his performance has dropped quite significantly. And it is definitely time for Manchester City to look for a replacement. Because he is already starting to get injured. Who knows for how long he will actually be able to compete?

So yes I think for long-term plans, Manchester City should start thinking about a replacement. Maybe get a young player and shape him up to be a good replacement. Or maybe just go and get a player who will be another great one. They can afford it in my opinion.

[tusandii]

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.

It is very surprising to see that Real Sociedad, who is currently leading in first place on the CL points table, was even able to hold Inter Milan to a draw in the last match yesterday and this makes everyone hesitate to predict who will win when playing against PSG.
But according to my predictions, this round of 16 match will have 2 rounds and for the 1st leg PSG will be the host and this is an opportunity for PSG if they want to qualify for the next round Enrique must be able to fight to get the right strategy to win with a bigger score so that In the 2nd leg match when playing away, PSG already had bigger aggregate points, but the problem is that Real Sociedad has a very strong defense and I doubt whether PSG, who will rely on Mbappe, will be able to break into Real Sociedad's goal.
It's very difficult to predict but I can only speculate, but if I look at these two clubs, both clubs will score equally and I still hope that PSG will win the 1st leg match with a higher score.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Real Sociedad are a really unpredictable team indeed. Finishing a group including Inter in itself as the leader isn't an easy task to perform at all. In the end there is technically a big strength gap between these teams on paper. But team effort can upset the balances quite much. I can say that Real Sociedad have played really well as a team until now.

I wonder how successful they will be against PSG as well. I don't find PSG better than Inter first of all. PSG are just not like in the Ligue 1 here.

They are much more inconsistent and they could have even been in the Europa League now. If they keep this up Real Sociedad can really punish them for that weakness.

[hahay]

For some reason, I also had doubts about PSG this season, they don't seem ready and their strength is only strong in Ligue 1, but not in the UCL league. Even though they are trained by a great coach like Enrique and have star players, they have not been able to show their toughness in the UCL. Just look at PSG qualifying for the round of 16 through luck only with a difference in goal difference with AC Milan.

I think Sociedad will win the match, because Real Sociedad's game is so solid in defense, very good at controlling the ball, and killing counter attacks through player Kubo.

PSG's performance at the start of this season did indeed decline slightly compared to last season, but slowly they can continue to develop their team's performance in a more positive direction and that makes their chances in the last 16 of the UCL even greater and the opponent they face is Real Sociedad, if We look at the quality of both teams. I think PSG is a little better than Real Sociedad, so I don't doubt that PSG's percentage of getting to the next round is much greater than Real Sociedad.

If we compare PSG and Real Sociedad, I think PSG still has a better chance than Real Sociedad of winning and qualifying for the quarter-finals. Even though it is true that Real Sociedad also won group D, leading over Inter and only goal difference is the difference, but that doesn't mean Real Sociedad is better than PSG.

Because after all, playing in the knockout phase of the Champions League clearly has different pressure too, what's more PSG is a team that has good dominance in Ligue 1 . Also, basically Enrique is used to facing or against La Liga teams and with the experience Enrique has like that. So ya, of course Enrique really understands the right strategy for playing against Real Sociedad later and thus, of course PSG has a very good chance of beating Real Sociedad.

It's true that Manchester City have to get ready to look for a potential replacement for De Bruyne, because apart from injuries, he is also close to 33 years old. In the next season or two, perhaps his performance will decline again, but for now everyone hopes that De Bruyne will be available again as soon as possible, to help Pep speak out through his actions in midfield. How unstable City would be without his presence in the main squad, after being left behind by Gundogan and Mahrez, Pep needs time to develop their current new signings.

Financially, we don't doubt that Manchester City has more power to recruit any player, their academy players could also be an alternative solution. The bargaining power that Pep has in hunting for players is very, very reliable, I think there are only a few players who will refuse the offer to join Manchester City at this time, except for those who are afraid of losing the competition, in terms of playing minutes and are fighting for it.

Real Sociedad is one Spanish club that's shown over the years that they have all it takes to win any European team and despite the club's inability to have any of the biggest players in Europe, they play more like a team than relying on individual  brilliance to win games.  Paris Saint Germain is undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in Europe in terms of quality of players and would is backed by many including bookmakers to easily eliminate Real Sociedad from the competition.

With the help of players like Kylian Mbappe,  Ousmane Dembele,  Kolo Muani and others,  eliminating Real Sociedad shouldn't be a big issue against Paris Saint Germain but that I don't think should make them underrate  the Spanish team as they have all it taken to pull a surprise in that tie

[Leviathan.007]

Porto performance during group stages was quite impressive because at the end of group stages they can able to finish at runner up position and Porto has equal point with Barcelona and last season at round of 16 Porto journey have to stopped because at that time they were eliminated by Inter Milan and this season too Porto will gets strong opponent Arsenal and after absense for 6 years finally Arsenal can return to this competition and they were finish at first place after gets 4 wins and 1 draw and for this match Arsenal status as the favourite and Porto as underdog team

If we talking about recent performance from them both teams are equally in the good shape because their performance at their domestic league is quite good even Arsenal can occupy first place on league standings and their latest meeting on Champion league was happened on season 2009/2010 at that time Arsenal can able to win with big scores from Porto 5-0 and for the first leg Porto will playing as a host i think they will attempts to gets the winning results from Arsenal but for champion league Porto records at home isn't too impressive so let see who is the winner of this match whether it Arsenal or Porto

Arsenal should play many games before this match they are going to have against Porto and we can't predict anything yet about this match between these two teams but all I can say before the match is about the last meets the two teams had. Arsenal and Porto had some other games against each other and in the last fie games between these two teams, each team won two games while they had one draw.
The chance for Arteta and his players to win this match is obviously higher but I think Porto is also motivated to beat Arsenal in his match and everything depends on the performance of both teams in the next games before this match.

PSG's performance at the start of this season did indeed decline slightly compared to last season, but slowly they can continue to develop their team's performance in a more positive direction and that makes their chances in the last 16 of the UCL even greater and the opponent they face is Real Sociedad, if We look at the quality of both teams. I think PSG is a little better than Real Sociedad, so I don't doubt that PSG's percentage of getting to the next round is much greater than Real Sociedad.

With respect to their domestic league, PSG did started on a relatively poor note but later were getting back to form and quickly got to the top of the table this season and now they are more likely to be the winners of the Ligue 1 as they are like the most formidable team in the Ligue 1 currently, their team form and Dept looks better than others.

Due to their dominance in their local league, I think they are showing some lax and negligence to the league but back in the UCL they are doing much better as they were able to get pass the group stage although with much struggle so they are gradually getting through the UCL even with their struggles, playing against Real socidad is going to be a struggle because real sociadad is doing well and they are also not weak both on the UCL and their local league so it's very possible it's ends in a draw in the first leg.

The chance for Arteta and his players to win this match is obviously higher but I think Porto is also motivated to beat Arsenal in his match and everything depends on the performance of both teams in the next games before this match.

If we look at the squad depth between Arsenal and Porto, it is clear to us that Arteta squad deserves to be superior. It's true, there are still many considerations at the moment, because both of them have to continue several matches in their respective domestic competitions, we need to wait to assess the chances again when the meeting schedule approaches. The motivation of teams that qualify for the knockout rounds is much greater than before, no club wants to be eliminated early, many surprises can happen and we have seen this very often.

In my opinion, Arsenal can win the match and advance to the quarter-finals, in the sense of not underestimating the bargaining value that Porto has. The competitive level of the Premier League has made Arsenal a stronger team, currently they are leading the standings. It is true that domestic competitions cannot be used as a complete reference because the Champions League is very different, but at least this can be taken into consideration.

PSG has been able to recover quite well so far, I think they are not going to have any problem trying to be the winner of Ligue 1. But if we are talking about the UCL they definitely are going to have a lot of problems. Because in UCL they are facing a lot of teams that are actually better than them and they actually have competition in the UCL. That is a big reason I don't think that they will win the UCL. You can not prepare for the biggest competition of football by playing against some mid-teams throughout the whole season. And yes I do not think they will be able to win the UCL this season as well. They are just not good enough.

So yes I think for long-term plans, Manchester City should start thinking about a replacement. Maybe get a young player and shape him up to be a good replacement. Or maybe just go and get a player who will be another great one. They can afford it in my opinion.

I've read recently how he's said he'll love to play with Cristiano Ronaldo before he retires completely from football completely. He's already have a good taste of what success and excellence be at club level and I believe it's time for him to leave Manchester City. Planning for his exit and another Injury would be great. I don't like the way he's been getting these injuries, though I can't do nothing to stop em from happening.

Planning for his exit would help the club even if Pep Guardiola plans on leaving, the replacement would just come in and continue from the particular project he stopped. Kevin would definitely be back in action against Everton on the 27 of December.

[Cookdata]

If we compare PSG and Real Sociedad, I think PSG still has a better chance than Real Sociedad of winning and qualifying for the quarter-finals. Even though it is true that Real Sociedad also won group D, leading over Inter and only goal difference is the difference, but that doesn't mean Real Sociedad is better than PSG.

I like how consistent PSG has been these season even though their form is not that good in the Champions League, the progressed to these stage by luck because if not for Milan lower goal difference, they would have been out of these discussions we are having but maybe the dynamics of their performance will yield something more warble than we had before.

From another angle, Real Sociedad have been sparkling in their domestic league the past few weeks and that made me think PSG need to be careful, some small teams in Ligue1 has humiliated PSG this season, it shouldn'tbe Real Sociedad that will remove them finally.

Because after all, playing in the knockout phase of the Champions League clearly has different pressure too, what's more PSG is a team that has good dominance in Ligue 1 . Also, basically Enrique is used to facing or against La Liga teams and with the experience Enrique has like that. So ya, of course Enrique really understands the right strategy for playing against Real Sociedad later and thus, of course PSG has a very good chance of beating Real Sociedad.

I'm having some doubts even as I want to believe Sociedad can pull some stunt on PSG, in group stage some teams might be unlucky to meet one of the strongest opponents. I don't know for Copenhagen and Galatasaray in the past but they gave in their best in the Champions League group B, one of the best I enjoyed I must say and PSG suffered a lot to come out good, perhaps things might change after this stage but at the same time, Sociedad is good in domestic league. Predicting this might be hard but double chance will certainly give a good money when they meet.

Yep. In theory, PSG should be superior against Real Sociedad. PSG has better quality players and they have more experience in UCL. PSG should be easier to deal with the pressure to win the match in knock-out phase. PSG also has a good squad depth, specifically for the attacking line. It is a bit different with Real Sociedad, they have no many quality players, their squad depth can't be as well as PSG. However, it doesn't mean PSG is impossible to surprise us.

Another advantage of PSG is they have an experienced coach for UCL competition. Enrique is very familiar with UCL because he ever won it with Barcelona in the season of 2014-2015. He also won UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club world cup in the season 2015-2016.

Real Sociedad are a really unpredictable team indeed. Finishing a group including Inter in itself as the leader isn't an easy task to perform at all. In the end there is technically a big strength gap between these teams on paper. But team effort can upset the balances quite much. I can say that Real Sociedad have played really well as a team until now.

I wonder how successful they will be against PSG as well. I don't find PSG better than Inter first of all. PSG are just not like in the Ligue 1 here.

They are much more inconsistent and they could have even been in the Europa League now. If they keep this up Real Sociedad can really punish them for that weakness.

Kindly let the comparisons between Paris Saint Germany and Inter Milan slide. They're obviously two different European clubs and they're not in the same group.

Despite the inconsistency they've faced, challenges included, they have a good coach Luis Enrique who have won seriously against Real Sociedad. Yes they have seen changes and upgrades but that doesn't mean he won't be able to defeat them.

They have also buckled up just like Inter Milan. They have seen the last three games they've played ending as a draw though, I'm not even seeing them winning against PSG. It'll not go very smooth for Parisians but most likely they're the best side to progress. Luis Enrique in his first season with PSG would want to do well.

But I think Inter Milan is one of the strongest contenders for the Champions League title. Sure, that doesn't make them invulnerable or anything, but I remember when Bayern Munich got defeated in the Champions League final, one year later they let the European football world feel all their anger, destroyed several top level opponents on their way to the final and then won it against their domestic rival Borussia Dortmund. Inter Milan is set to take some revenge for last season. But yes PSG can't be taken lightly.

I'm having some doubts even as I want to believe Sociedad can pull some stunt on PSG, in group stage some teams might be unlucky to meet one of the strongest opponents. I don't know for Copenhagen and Galatasaray in the past but they gave in their best in the Champions League group B, one of the best I enjoyed I must say and PSG suffered a lot to come out good, perhaps things might change after this stage but at the same time, Sociedad is good in domestic league. Predicting this might be hard but double chance will certainly give a good money when they meet.

It's too small chance for Real Sociedad to win against PSG in the Champions League, but what we saw in the group stage where Copenhagen and Galatasaray who performed well highlights the competitive nature of the Champions League. Teams that may not be considered favorites can still give top sides a tough time, and the knock out stage can indeed be a stage for surprises and closely contested matches.

Real Sociedad's prowess in the domestic league is a positive factor that indicates their capability to compete at a high level. While predicting the outcome of specific matches in the Champions League can be challenging, considering a double chance bet when Sociedad faces PSG is a better option. This type of bet allows for more flexibility by covering both a win or a draw for Sociedad, potentially providing good returns. Anything can happen on the day of the match.

[Google+]

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.

It is very surprising to see that Real Sociedad, who is currently leading in first place on the CL points table, was even able to hold Inter Milan to a draw in the last match yesterday and this makes everyone hesitate to predict who will win when playing against PSG.
But according to my predictions, this round of 16 match will have 2 rounds and for the 1st leg PSG will be the host and this is an opportunity for PSG if they want to qualify for the next round Enrique must be able to fight to get the right strategy to win with a bigger score so that In the 2nd leg match when playing away, PSG already had bigger aggregate points, but the problem is that Real Sociedad has a very strong defense and I doubt whether PSG, who will rely on Mbappe, will be able to break into Real Sociedad's goal.
It's very difficult to predict but I can only speculate, but if I look at these two clubs, both clubs will score equally and I still hope that PSG will win the 1st leg match with a higher score.

Even though PSG is very superior in the match against Real Sociedad, I see that there is a big thought that Real sociedad can do many miracles in the match. I mean Real sociedad is a team from Laliga who performed impressively in the group phase with their status as group winners so PSG must consider this as best as possible if the opponent they face is not a weak team in the Champions league this season. Even though the strengths of these teams are very different, the fighting spirit of these two team is relatively the same, namely they want to go far in the Champions League this season.

Real sociedad has never lost in the group phase, in fact they are a very strong defensive team this season. Indeed, two legs are a good hope for every team, but the first leg will probably be easy for PSG because they are the hosts. Let's see whether Luis enrique will succeed in bringing PSG to victory in the first leg considering that Luis enrique is very experienced in facing team from Laliga.

[TelolettOm]

With the way PSG performed in the group stage of the Uefa Champions League, I do not expect PSG to progress to the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League this season, but PSG had an easy draw in the round of 16 against Real Sociedad, and they will win against Real Sociedad to reach the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.

Since PSG will play against Real Sociedad, I'm very sure that they will have a good chance to qualify for the next round. It is true that PSG didn't play consistently during this season, they sometimes got surprising defeats or draws. However, I believe PSG has much better quality squad over Real Sociedad. PSG still have some stars players in their squad, they have a special advantage in the match against Real Sociedad.

Barcelona faced with crucial problem injury because many of key player have been absent until the end of this season and they will absent on Champion League match phase of 16. Gavi, and Ter Stegen is the most important players for Barcelona who filled line up on every match, but loss him exactly with Ter Stegen Barcelona have conceded many goals last several matches and this proof how important him for Barcelona goal keeper.

Yes. Barcelona is facing a problem with the injury. However, I'm sure Xavi can deal with the current injured players. They still have enough players to beat Napoli. As long as Barcelona has enough attackers, they will have the chance to win the match. They have enough midfielders and they have some options for defenders. They only have very limited option for goalkeeper and attackers.
