UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[hahay]

It will be hard for Paris Saint-German to win the Uefa Champions League trophy. Paris Saint-German has built its team around Mbappe, and if Mbappe is not in form Paris Saint-German will not perform well.

It cannot be denied that Mbappe's influence is quite big for PSG and if Mbappe leaves in the transfer this January then I am very sure that PSG's progress in the UCL will not be long.
However even though Mbappe is still surviving doesn't mean he will be able to lift this team's performance alone, I think PSG is not worthy of becoming UCL champions this season because we have to look at the strength of the team as a whole and PSG does not deserve that, especially this season their performance is very good inconsistent.

Although PSG still has Mbappe in the squad but still, it will remain difficult for PSG to get good results in the Champion League. So yes, basically it's not about Mbappe but it looks like PSG doesn't have the right management to build the team even better. Because indeed, PSG has a lot of money and or has better finances but still, if PSG does not have good management in building the team then PSG will still be difficult to reach the Champions League final.

Therefore, I think it is possible that if for example Mbappe is sold or leaves it looks like PSG will be better because it will work as a whole team and not just rely on one player. At least, this is currently happening to Tottenham in the Premier League who previously kept Kane but after Kane was sold, at least Tottenham got better performance and results at this moment there in the Premier League.

[Sim_card]

It is true that if Mbappe leaves PSG on the days when PSG is pursuing every competition that is followed, it will be very difficult for PSG, because in my personal opinion PSG also does not have a replacement for Mbappe to perform well at this PSG club. But this is still just a rumor, we can't be sure what the future will be like after all these rumors happen, whether mbappe will continue to stay at PSG or indeed leave in the January transfer market later, and basically also that real Madrid does need mbappe to strengthen its squad if you think about it, but we are really confused by mbappe's behavior which always gives a controversial attitude.

Now Mbappe will definitely not be able to leave PSG because he has a contract until the end of the season, but he can already start negotiating with other clubs. I read the latest news today that Liverpool wants to get Mbappe, I don’t know if this is true (as the French publication Le Parisien claims), but it seems that Real is still the number one contender. I don't think PSG will try to stop him, they will get big money for Mbappe and it looks like they are already looking for his replacement.

maybe Mbappe stay at PSG can help his team win the UCL title (even though it's impossible) but the fact is that PSG will still have difficulty if they only rely on Mbappe because they are not strong enough if they only rely on one player without having a solid line up. meanwhile, to be able to win a title at UCL you have to have strong cooperation, whereas PSG doesn't have solid cooperation for me.

regarding Mbappe move in january, he won't be moving, but if PSG keeps him until June, it looks like he will leave as a free agent and PSG will suffer a loss if he leaves as a free agent.

It will be hard for Paris Saint-German to win the Uefa Champions League trophy. Paris Saint-German has built its team around Mbappe, and if Mbappe is not in form Paris Saint-German will not perform well.

After Messi and Neymar left PSG, Mbappe became their key player that the club rely on to win matches, this is why I do not think that PSG will let him leave without rounding up the season and allow his contract to be over. I also know that any club Mbappe will be moving to will be Real Madrid and not Liverpool because that is where a player with his potential fits in, Liverpool is good but it is not that consistent in winning trophies, this will discourage him, since has already made up his mind to move to Real Madrid but PSG deprived him.

It cannot be denied that Mbappe's influence is quite big for PSG and if Mbappe leaves in the transfer this January then I am very sure that PSG's progress in the UCL will not be long.

The presence or absence of Mbappe I don't really put great hopes for PSG in the Champions League because if you pay attention when they have a trio of world attackers, they also cannot give anything. This is not about one person but how the coach can motivate other players and the condition of the coach is also quite a role to bring his team successful in any competition.

However even though Mbappe is still surviving doesn't mean he will be able to lift this team's performance alone, I think PSG is not worthy of becoming UCL champions this season because we have to look at the strength of the team as a whole and PSG does not deserve that, especially this season their performance is very good inconsistent.

PSG needs to consolidate a number of players and maybe Luis Enrique needs a lot of time to bring PSG to be one of the clubs calculated in the Champions League. Mbappe does have its own role in the squad but if you hope that this will not make PSG able to win the Champions League title. If it is true that Mbappe leaves, it is time for PSG to make a reshuffle to bring in other players and that's when they must set a target if they want to succeed in the Champions League.

Mbappe acts as a driving force in the PSG squad, if he leaves it will cause PSG movement to stall. Maybe PSG condition is the same as Barcelona experienced when Messi left, the squad will lose direction which will result in the results obtained in the tournament.
Mbappe influence is very large at PSG, his departure will make it even more difficult for PSG to win the Champions League trophy. Luis Enrique needed several years to perfect the quality of his squad into a team that is ready to challenge in the UCL, this year the Champions League trophy is not for them.

We agree, because after all the Champions League is different from other domestic leagues. in the round of 16 and the next round, each team will play 2 matches, either home or away. in this phase, each team will maximize its strength when competing against other teams. one mistake made by a player can have fatal consequences for the team as a whole. even if it's a strong team, they have the potential to be overthrown by teams that we don't expect. currently, the teams that are predicted to be strong competitors in the race for the trophy are Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. for me, these three teams have a chance to appear in the Champions League final. it's just that, we never know until it's time for the final round to be held. it could be that the three teams I mentioned were defeated by other teams who are also still involved in this competition. after all, the round of 16 had not yet been held. so, it is still not possible to determine which team will enter the final. so far, we can only assume and speculate because it is based on the team's strength, performance, and also how they play their matches in this competition. for me personally, I prioritize the beauty of the game in modern football.  Whoever the team is competing, let's just enjoy it. moreover, ahead of the crucial rounds until the final round. and there is no other way, but to follow every development until the end of this competition.

The UCL round of 16 fixtures have been scheduled and this is more say the beginning of the tournament as it's got the best 16 teams all round of the European leagues. Definitely the battle will be fierce. There'd be no chance for errors and all 16 teams are victory focused. None would want to be disqualified. Although the draw produced some less stressful fixtures and an easy to predict winner whilst some produced a fixture that has both teams at a point to fight hard for an advancement ticket.

 Real Madrid, Bayern, Man City and Dortmund are the teams with higher odds of advancing, whilst the remaining fixtures, it's difficult to predict. All teams are good in their domestic league and not judging based on their domestic league performances, but they actually are liable to doing more better in the UCL than their domestic league.

Although news about Mbappe is always filled with drama. But strangely enough, I always don't want to miss any news related to Mbappe.

Even a new drama has started. Namely, there is now a lot of news circulating that Mbappe has the opportunity to move to Liverpool. News about this has also circulated widely in many sports news media. But I'm used to news like this happening to famous football stars. In the past, things like this often happened to soccer stars like CR7 and Messi. But then they moved to an unexpected team. Mbappe could also be the same. So we don't need to be surprised by the amount of news circulating which sometimes makes us confused. We just have to wait until the time comes for Mbappe to leave PSG.

Liverpool would be something brand new, I really do not expect him to go there at all. Real Madrid has been the place everyone talked about him leaving for, and that would make sense, PSG and Real Madrid are the two teams that I assume he would play for, Liverpool is not that common knowledge and I do not really assume that he would do  that.

Of course all of these are just heard rumours, we haven't really heard anything directly from him or his agent neither, we are just making assumptions based on what news are saying, maybe he is happy at PSG and he will stay there, but if he was so happy I assume that he would just sign another contract for a lot of money and would stay there. Waiting until the last moment doesn't make sense if he wants to stay.

Actually for now i doubt if PSG will be able to win the champions League because for now there are more other clubs which are more better than them in times of performance and besides with the current news or rather rumors I heard that Mbappe will be leaving PSG soon although I don't know how true it is but however if is true is actually going to affect the club a lot in times of performance and besides the clubs that has an upper chance of wining the champions League are Bayern Munich and Real Madrid so for now I don't think PSG will able to beat those clubs.

To match Zidane record, the opportunity is quite open, but to make it happen requires great luck, because Zidane done it consecutively. I admit that Ancelotti is a great manager, he has experience coaching in various leagues with big clubs, I am sure that during this second period, Ancelotti can present at least one UCL trophy for Madrid.

...

Real Madrid might need another star player like Cristiano Ronaldo to do this job better. Because back in Zidane's time there was Cristiano Ronaldo and this was also one of the biggest factors behind Real Madrid to win the Champions League 3 times in a row. Zidane's tactical intelligence and Ronaldo's great talent combined helped them achieve this amazing result. 

Now this great talent they would need is Mbappe I think. This transfer will probably get real by this summer. After that Real Madrid can really be unstoppable in Ancelotti's lead.

Carlos Ancelotti is doing one of the best job as coach as he has no services of any star player, but things are going impressive, and I have feeling we can expect another double from them in this season which could be historic, and they don't need Mbappé as well because their many players are giving their best which is surely not easy, and they can also bring results like we have from Zidane.

I am not considering Zidane as one of the best in job while he was on right time in this club and star players makes things easy for him, but Carlos Ancelotti is genius, and he is bringing many youths at their best and things could be at the top while we have these players after experience and good depth which will help them for having best results for the club in the future.

I agree with you because they are club that is performing well more than PSG like Dortmund, real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Girona, Galatasaray, man city, Arsenal's performance was poor this season due to last season and other season. And they will be facing man city at the UCL knock out stage, so they need to tighten up. in the aspect of Mbappe living PSG is true but not that sure because if he leaves the club, it will affect the performance of the club really bad so he should Denine real Madrid request to get him.  so, for me they won't be able to win the UEFA champions league because they would not be able to go through the knockout stage.

Maybe most of what we see only focuses on Mbappe, even though Enrique actually plays a game of collectivity and teamwork. so far, in the PSG camp, Mbappe is the player who is truly an established player, especially as he is a goal bomber. even if Enrique relies more on him, it would be very natural because Mbappe is the one who has so far been the focus of the team. with the scenario, he can provide a lot of experience to other players, especially those on PSG's front lines. I think gradually, if Ramos and Kolo Muani are able to adapt quickly and reach a level in their game. these two players can be as dangerous as a sharp sticker to break into their opponent's goal.

Talking about winning trophies this season, I'm sure Luis Enrique is very aware of the squad he is currently coaching. in other words, PSG is not in the capacity to target the Champions League trophy. just imagine, when PSG play matches in the group phase, sometimes they have difficulty in away matches. I am also sure that his current team is not as ideal as he had hoped for. that's why, it seems that PSG will bring in several new arrivals this January. in other words, Enrique wants to patch up the weaknesses and shortcomings of his team. however, this team will not immediately become a strong team with instants. what is certain is that a process is needed and as a coach he is very aware of that. so, the task of Enrique and his squad is now to play as hard as possible as far as they can do it. or at least, PSG should be able to beat Real Sociedad in the round of 16. the rest, let them answer with the matches they play.

Now Mbappe will definitely not be able to leave PSG because he has a contract until the end of the season, but he can already start negotiating with other clubs. I read the latest news today that Liverpool wants to get Mbappe, I don’t know if this is true (as the French publication Le Parisien claims), but it seems that Real is still the number one contender. I don't think PSG will try to stop him, they will get big money for Mbappe and it looks like they are already looking for his replacement.

Mbappè can't leave in January if PSG doesn't want to sell him, but if Madrid is able to buy Mbappè at the agreed price I think PSG will let him go rather than PSG having to lose Mbappè without getting any profit because Mbappè is PSG biggest investment at the moment so let it be this player being free is a painful thing, if in the end Mbappè leaves PSG, I don't know what will happen to the team because so far Mbappè has been a key player for PSG in achieving success, whereas currently PSG doesn't seem to have any rumors relating to the striker Mbappè replacement.

Usually as we approach for the transfer window we have many rumours and other related things in news which create good heat, and we also have good masala from the media so now same happening while we are jumping for the transfer window many reports are coming about Mbappé even nothing is official but still if we have Mbappé out of the PSG then surely management will bring suitable replacement quickly because they also understand impact of this transfer on team.

But, in case he leaves then surely something happen, but they are capable of having recover from this and bring positive changes as well with most chances we will have Victor Osimhen and Vlahović as his replacement at the PSG few weeks back we have talked about this which clearly indicate Mbappé and Luis Enrique are set for working together but now we to wait about this all how this all will be ended.

[Spack17]

I think that Real Madrid's current squad is strong enough to play in the finale and win the championship as well. Because Bellingham has brought their level to a really high point. 

Bellingham is undoubtedly the most critical player in the squad right now. Ancelotti is also aware of us of course that he is trying his best to get as much efficiency as possible from him. Bellingham is a great goalscorer this season. He is like a productive striker despite being rather a midfielder. Vinicius Junior is also about to come back after an injury period so they will be really strong in later stages in the Champions League like this.

Your statement is perfect about Mbappé and PSG with most chances we will have his exit from here in June and then PSG will look for the other options and currently their main target is better results in Champions League even with just one player it's not possible to win, but they need to establish a team which give them better approach for this and it's never been easy because it's time-consuming work and management needs to give time for this if they fire coaches in every one or two years then surely they will be not able to win this.

Here I also agreed about this most chances he will leave as free agent and this could be big lost for the PSG and good gain for the club which is going to be able having contract with him with nothing is sure about this because I have feeling now Real Madrid fans will be not happy with him after his two U-turns in the past.

Waiting until the last moment doesn't make sense if he wants to stay.

I think Mbappe is at a very big point of his career and any choice now would either make his career or mar everythingthe young lad has achieved. We’ve Real Madrid and Liverpool. LThere’s also an option of sitting back at PSg And warn very huge. But this I think isn’t on his mind. I also feel he could dump Real Madrid and head to England where ge could have quite a huge play time with Mo Salah set to leave the club.

 At Real there are already key players who’re doing pretty well and none will want to sit out for Kylian; so Liverpool could be the best destination for this young lad. But all decisions balls down to him and his agent to make the announcement concerning hos preferred destination, for now we can just speculate and give opinions on his choicest destination.

Vinicius Junior is also about to come back after an injury period so they will be really strong in later stages in the Champions League like this.

I feel the same as you. Real Madrid's squad is strong. However, they have weaknesses in attack. Vinicius and Rodrygo's performances are poor. These two players cannot be relied upon to score. The team is now completely dependent on their midfielders. If Bellingham plays well, Madrid's overall performance is better, if Bellingham doesn't play well, it becomes difficult for Madrid to win. I would say Madrid are still at the top of the competition because of Ancelotti's mastermind. However, if the attack is so weak, it may not be possible for Madrid to win the Champions League title. Madrid will try to add Mbappe to the squad in the winter transfer window.

[Leviathan.007]

If De Bruyne and Haaland are able to continue their excellent performances like last season, then Manchester City will surely win the Champions League title this season as well. Also Bayern Munich team is very strong this season. The Munich management have built their squad this season with the aim of winning the Champions League title and the squad is very strong. Kane is also able to score a lot of goals. On the other hand, the performance of Real Madrid with the help of Ancelotti is very consistent. Looking forward to seeing how Madrid fare against the strong teams in the knockout rounds with their weak attack.

No ETA when those guys will be back again to the field caused by de bruyne needs to pass various test before he will able to play with manchester city again. Im not being skeptical about him but bruyne may able to play again next year.
We hope de bruyne and haaland can comeback as soon as possible but let's see how fast the development of their injury. Im not expecting they can back in a short time. Manchester city is going to be a disaster for other clubs if there will be haaland and de bruyne to play.
It's caused by they were always threatening any teams. I would like to see those guys to come back but i know that's impossible to happen. Manchester city can at very least still win the game and it's enough to keep up liverpool which is in the first position.
The come of haaland and bruyne will able to change a lot of things. They are keys owned by manchester city.

You cannot really ignore Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Both of them have been a good team to be scared of. No matter how strong you are, you always need to be scared of Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid this season has been very well, very consistent and Bellingham is doing more than what he was expected. In my eyes, Real Madrid are the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

Bayern Munich is also on a very good run this season. Harry Kane is the top scorer in the whole of Europe this season. So they will be a very tough challenge for any team. PSG and Dortmund could probably become a problem for Manchester City as well.

Personally, I don't care if Macnshter City got a coach like Guardiola in their team or if Bayern Munich is a dangerous team because of their player, Harry Kane but I think the most important thing is about Real Madrid and their chance of winning the title in the end of this season, Real Madrid is the team the won won won the Champions League trophy more than any other teams and this team is made for racing this tournament. That's why I think there is more chance for Real Madrid.

~~snip~~

Every time there is a transfer window, rumors about Mbappe reappear in various news and even cause a stir. Actually, I'm bored and tired of following him. However, Real Madrid really wants Mbappe's services, especially since Real Madrid doesn't yet have a striker with strong character on the front lines. I even read the news that Real Madrid will offer Mbappe a contract and give him time to think until the middle of this month to make a decision. I hope that if Real Madrid fails again this time, they will forget about Mbappe.

So in the near future, we will see Mbappe make his choice. Will he extend his contract at PSG (something Mbappe refused last summer), join Madrid (a repeat of what happened in the summer of 2022) or will Mbappe move to another club? However, PSG will try as hard as possible to retain Mbappe, especially since PSG has a goal of winning the UCL league this season. Losing Mbappe is certainly a difficult goal for them to achieve.

I think the Mbappe issue is still unknown to the public because Real Madrid was looking for Mbappe last season and they failed to get him, and again this season they also do the same; they start looking for him to replace their weak position, which is the striking position, so I think if Mbappe's contract expires with Real Madrid this season, I don’t think he will renew it; he will want to go back to Real Madrid. The fact that Real Madrid really needs someone like Mbappe to replace their striking position made me think that they will do everything they can to get him during the transfer window.

It will be hard for Paris Saint-German to win the Uefa Champions League trophy. Paris Saint-German has built its team around Mbappe, and if Mbappe is not in form Paris Saint-German will not perform well.

Dependency on a particular player has always led to the down fall of most teams because I'm the case where such player suffers injury or is unable to play for some other reasons, probably had a red card ,the team suffers till his return, it's true that there's always a particular player who's always the game changer for any team but they shouldn't depend on him.

PSG has got very similar situation with mbappe as they have some level of dependency on him even tho they try not to make it obvious but then it could be observed in their performance in his absence how they almost not win games or find it difficult getting enough goals to be able to win games with good margin, this season they have played a few match without him tho but then it was obvious he wasn't in such games as their performance showed as one without their star player been present. For sure if he leaves they are definitely going to suffer the after effect awhile.

It will be hard for Paris Saint-German to win the Uefa Champions League trophy. Paris Saint-German has built its team around Mbappe, and if Mbappe is not in form Paris Saint-German will not perform well.

It cannot be denied that Mbappe's influence is quite big for PSG and if Mbappe leaves in the transfer this January then I am very sure that PSG's progress in the UCL will not be long.
However even though Mbappe is still surviving doesn't mean he will be able to lift this team's performance alone, I think PSG is not worthy of becoming UCL champions this season because we have to look at the strength of the team as a whole and PSG does not deserve that, especially this season their performance is very good inconsistent.

It is just so unfortunate how a team will build their success around one player only. Mbappe is the strategic and dependent player in PSG that everyone is looking up to. If he is not in the game, the morale become weak and they don’t do well in those matches. Overall, including Mbappe in the squad, PSG is not a team that is performing well now and their participation in the Champions League competition won’t go that far because of their poor performance in the competition. If Mbappe leaves, it will even become worse for them to cope in the competition. PSG of before is no more, the team is going down now in European competitions, hopefully they can be back to their winning ways again soon.
