UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[skarais]

~~~

Experience will no longer be a benchmark because AC Milan is very experienced in the Champions League but in fact they did not qualify for the round of 16. I think for this season only the team that has stronger strength will be able to become champion. In terms of team quality, of course we will give a mandate as to who is the strongest to become champion. For Manchester City, Real Madrid is quite strong this season and also Bayern Munich. For now, all teams still have a chance to achieve their targets because we are only in the round of 16.

Oh of course it's true, past experience will not always be a benchmark for finding all these teams as favorites. The current state of the team, squad depth, team performance and main squad composition should be a priority as a benchmark if you want to analyze the chance. I agree that Manchester City and Real Madrid have a big chance to reach the semi-finals or even the final, but I also won't forget Bayern Munich and several other teams.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are two strong teams that should be able to reach the final. The depth of the squad is good and quite balanced, but Bayern Munich, which has a productive striker like Harry Kane, also has the same chance. Other teams such as PSV, Napoli, Leipzig, Copenhagen, Real Sociedad, Lazio, Atletico Madrid and Porto may be able to qualify for the quarter-finals, but the chances are low.

For Barcelona, ​​they are neither weak nor too strong this season. They are relatively balanced in strength with their opponents, namely Napoli. Barcelona fans may be looking forward to seeing Barcelona progress in the Champions League this season.

After failing in the Super Cup, Barcelona must increase their hopes in La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and also the Champions League. Barcelona are not the absolute favorites expected, but they might be able to reach the semi-finals if Xavi and his players are fine.

Although there is not much change in the team, there is a significant difference in performance from Manchester City this season compared to last season. Last season they had a very consistent performance from the start which made us feel that Manchester City will definitely dominate Europe this season and Manchester City did but this season's performance doesn't seem to be the case. They are missing a midfielder and their most important player is injured which is probably the reason why their performance does not look like last season. They must improve their performance to compete with the big teams in the Champions League. If Manchester City can improve their performance, Manchester City can be a thorn in the road for the best teams including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

There was only one game where I thought that this is not the Manchester City like they played most of the time last season and that was in the Champions League final against Inter Milan. This is the reason why I think that Inter Milan has a big chance to win the title this year.

Manchester City had to learn the hard way and lost against Chelsea, which nobody thought would be possible. The consequence was that Manchester City knew how close they were and then they became nervous and Inter Milan had nothing to lose. That is why that final was so much closer than I thought.

This season they can still improve their game in many respects whereas last season I thought they reached a level that could be called perfect.

Manchester City beat Manchester City in the Champions League final last season. Inter Milan made several attacks against Manchester City but unfortunately those attacks were not successful but the turning point of the match was a great goal by Spanish star Rodri. Rodri scored and that goal ensured Manchester City's long-cherished trophy win. Manchester City won the Champions League title in the last season. They have come close to winning the title several times in the past, so the last tournament was definitely a dream for Manchester City to defend their honor and win the Champions League title. Manchester City had such a great win last season but this season they are likely to fail to win the Champions League title for the second time.

The bad part about what City going through right now is that KDB is back, and we all know how kevin plays, that dude has been awesome ever since his return, just a couple games and he is already doing things that saves them, dude is amazing and I agree that he is going to end up being even better. But that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a missing player yet again.

They got Kevin De Bruyne back, but they are missing Haaland right now at the same time, those two were the best duo in all of football world last season, and they haven't played any games together this season so far I think, or if any, that must be before KDB got injured. So City is not even at 100% right now and will take a while, need to get Haaland back, and both those players in 100% shape.

With KDB's return, Man City's mentality is getting better. He has a very good game-changing vision. It cannot be denied that KDB is one of the best midfielders in Europe currently.
Especially if he plays together with Haaland, he is a very real threat to other clubs. So far at the same level as them are the defending Kings Real Madrid and Bayer Munchen.
These three teams are the favorites to win the Champions League this season, because they have the greatest chance and their experience has been proven.

The return of Haaland to have the both players on pitch will be a great boost for Manchester City. When Kevin De Bruyne was out due to injury, the team was still playing good even though they were not playing on their best form that time, they were missing him in the midfield. Despite that, the performance of this team was tremendous and they were still able to maintain the first four positions in the standings.

Kevin De Bruyne return is a great addition back to the team, he has been contributing to most of their winnings since his return and that has boos the morale of the team again. Haaland return to have them both on the pitch will make this team perform better and a premier league potential title contender awaits them again this season.

De Bruyne's absence was extremely noticeable. As this deficiency returns, there is a difference in the team's offensive game play. Can one player have that much impact? If Haaland contributes, Manchester City will become a difficult team to stop for other teams.

In my opinion, the biggest favorites are City and Real Madrid, although Bayer Munich is a team that loves the championship, I can say that they have not shown any weakness at the moment. As the eliminations approach, the pieces will fall into place.

De Bruyne's absence was extremely noticeable. As this deficiency returns, there is a difference in the team's offensive game play. Can one player have that much impact? If Haaland contributes, Manchester City will become a difficult team to stop for other teams.

Yes, exactly. De Bruyne's absence really affected Man City in scoring goals, this also affected Halland's goal productivity. What is very unfortunate for the EPL teams is that none of them really took advantage of Man City's prolonged downturn from November to December. Now it looks like Man City will continue their title bid again with De Bruyne back in the lineup and Haaland also set to return in the near future. then it is not impossible that they will also defend the UCL title.

In my opinion, the biggest favorites are City and Real Madrid, although Bayer Munich is a team that loves the championship, I can say that they have not shown any weakness at the moment. As the eliminations approach, the pieces will fall into place.

The three teams you mentioned will indeed be the strongest favorites in the UCL league this season, these three teams have strong and very consistent teams. However, among the three teams you mentioned, the ones that are most favored in my opinion are Man City and Real Madrid. However, if these two teams meet in the final, Real Madrid will be the champions. because as far as I know Real Madrid have never lost when playing a final, they are always winners in the final.

Haaland return to have them both on the pitch will make this team perform better and a premier league potential title contender awaits them again this season.

Pep Guardiola have passed through difficult moments this season and his team have been vulnerable to the attacks coming from their opponents on the pitch. The only way Pep Guardiola can set things right at Etihad Stadium is mounting pressure for his club to bounce back to winning matches and scoring high points on the league table and also in other elite tournaments. I assume Pep Guardiola to become the happiest man in the world of european football after his key players have returned to the team and this have become one of the prime moments for the Citizens to bounce back to thrilling victories.

All Manchester City fans are happy that KDB is back and fully fit. Just as you said, he has already saves the team in two different matches, his presence is indeed incredible and will boost Manchester City’s hope in any competition because he is indeed one of the best midfielders and playmakers in the world right now.

They got Kevin De Bruyne back, but they are missing Haaland right now at the same time, those two were the best duo in all of football world last season, and they haven't played any games together this season so far I think, or if any, that must be before KDB got injured. So City is not even at 100% right now and will take a while, need to get Haaland back, and both those players in 100% shape.

I am not convinced with Haaland’s performance this season, maybe it’s due to De Bruyne’s absence. Nevertheless with or without him, if KDB is present in the team I don’t have any doubt so missing Haaland in the team is not a problem to them because KDB will create chances for others to score.

Actually all Manchester City not happy with Haaland current condition have absent and not confirming he will ready on next months or few weeks left before playing on 16 round. One side, Manchester City fans are celebrating after Kevin De Bruyne recovery from injury and made excellent debut last match against Newcastle United but on other side Manchester City have losses Haaland due injury.
I don''t think enough with Kevin De Bruyne only because Haaland is another one most important players for Manchester City, Haaland become top scorer for Manchester City in Champion League and premier league, losses him give bad impact with Man City get difficult winning bigger ratio goals on every match.

It's a legit concern about Arsenal's current form, especially considering their struggles from the previous season. This is about mentality to stay competing at highest level which, I think, Arsenal is lack of it. The competition in the Premier League is too fierce for Arsenal, with teams like Liverpool and Manchester City performing exceptionally well.

Liverpool's strong performance with strong mentality and the return of key players like Kevin De Bruyne and potential additions like Doku and Haaland at Manchester City certainly add to the challenges for Arsenal. The depth and quality in these squads are formidable, and it might seem like an uphill battle for Arsenal to compete consistently with them over the remaining games. Manchester City's ability to go on winning streaks is well-documented, and their capacity to maintain a high level of performance is a significant factor.

Yes Liverpool has developed more of this bouncebackability if I may call it like this. They have been through hard times and they know what is on the line if they play crap. But in my opinion Liverpool is more balanced than Arsenal and they can develop more of the pressing they love to play. It is very intense, but the Klopp team is usually ready to go that extra mile.

They did have their bad days though. Last season was rather a bad season instead of just a few bad days, but they finally have these crazy games when they comeback after falling behind. They still only lost one game so far, which I think was much worse in the last season.

[Coyster]

In my opinion, the biggest favorites are City and Real Madrid, although Bayer Munich is a team that loves the championship, I can say that they have not shown any weakness at the moment. As the eliminations approach, the pieces will fall into place.

I think one of the three teams you've mentioned above (City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich) will be champions, of course City are the defending champions (having won the CL for the first time last season), and they'll want to defend their title. The thing i love most about City is their lack of complacency, they always want success every season, notwithstanding whatsoever they achieved the previous season.

City beat Bayern (in the QF) and Real Madrid (in the SF) on their way to the trophy last season, and if they meet either team in this knockout stage, it would be pretty tough and there would be a sense of revenge. It would be interesting to see how things pan out.

The only way Pep Guardiola can set things right at Etihad Stadium is mounting pressure for his club to bounce back to winning matches and scoring high points on the league table and also in other elite tournaments. I assume Pep Guardiola to become the happiest man in the world of european football after his key players have returned to the team and this have become one of the prime moments for the Citizens to bounce back to thrilling victories.

This happened because of several factors that made a strong reason as one of Pep's difficulties to force his players to be better.
We know that until now Manchester City has a lot of competitions that are followed so inevitably they have to proportion their players to always be able to maintain performance but in the end the players are also human beings who indeed if they are too stressed it will not go well for them which results in injuries that occur.
But now the tension can be minimized a little because we know that at this time, the players have started to return and Manchester City can focus better than before, it's just that it needs to be noted also for Pep in this case because previously De Bruyne and Haaland were too pushed to make the situation not too good for the future of Manchester City in the competition, so now he must be more selective in rotating because until now Manchester City has a pretty good squad depth and I'm sure it can do that well.

It is natural to make Real Madrid the favorite team to win the UCL title because this team has won the most titles but choosing Man City, Inter and Munich is no less impressive because the performance of the 3 teams is extraordinary in fighting for the title in their respective domestic leagues and In the UCL, these 3 teams are also very strong, especially Munich, which has got a very sharp striker, as well as Real Madrid and Man City, each of which has superior players. I myself have not yet decided which one of the 4 teams above is better. is the favorite because the 4 teams are still having very good performance to date so it is difficult to predict.

The most talked-about teams to win the Champions League are Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid. I'm starting to notice a new club, Inter Milan, that many believe has the potential to win the title as well. All four teams are from different leagues and are all performing exceptionally well in their respective leagues, making them potential champions league winners. I've been following these clubs' games in their domestic league, how they performed in the Champions League, and how they're performing now. The conclusion is that they are all good, and any of them can easily win the league.

I would say Bayern Munich have the best chance to win the Champions League title this season. This team is very strong this season. harry kane is performing well and scoring a lot of goals. This is why my Bayern Munich team looks the most worthy of the Champions League.
Real Madrid, Manchester City and Inter Milan also have very strong squads. Madrid's main weakness was their attack. But in the last few matches we have seen better performances from Vini and Rodrygo. If these two players perform well, Real Madrid's overall performance will be better in the Champions League as well. De Bauyne also returned to the squad. Now we will see a more organized performance from Manchester City. It is impossible to say for sure which team will win the title.

[Strongkored]

With KDB's return, Man City's mentality is getting better. He has a very good game-changing vision. It cannot be denied that KDB is one of the best midfielders in Europe currently.
Especially if he plays together with Haaland, he is a very real threat to other clubs. So far at the same level as them are the defending Kings Real Madrid and Bayer Munchen.
These three teams are the favorites to win the Champions League this season, because they have the greatest chance and their experience has been proven.

Kevin De Bruyne is like a driving force at Manchester City, even though when he was absent due to injury there were players who managed to temporarily replace him but were not as brilliant as him, and when he was absent for months he managed to score a goal for City in his second match after that long absence, but I read in the local media that he admitted that he was no longer able to play for 90 minutes, maybe it was just a matter of fitness because he had not been in training camp for quite a long time and he would slowly find his fitness again when he trained often, it's just that Manchester City needed a replacement because this year he would reached 33 years, and it seems City is not the typical club that will retain players who are quite old.
For the last 16 rounds, there is no doubt that City will continue to progress to the next round, which will be quite curious to see whether they will be able to reach the final even though they don't become champions, because it is rare for a team to become champions again in a row in the Champions League.

[mamesso]

City beat Bayern (in the QF) and Real Madrid (in the SF) on their way to the trophy last season, and if they meet either team in this knockout stage, it would be pretty tough and there would be a sense of revenge. It would be interesting to see how things pan out.

Manchester City managed to become the best team in the UCL last season after beating other favorite teams including Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. After successfully winning its first UCL trophy last season, Manchester City will be increasingly obsessed with winning this most prestigious trophy for two consecutive seasons. This season's competition will be more competitive than last season, there will be a sense of revenge if Manchester City meets either of the two. Bayern Munich or Real Madrid will try to mobilize their energy to avenge their defeat last season to win a trophy in this competition.

[rendravolt]

Like Arsenal, now Barcelona is experiencing the same situation in the dressing room and I think Barcelona is having quite a difficult time qualifying for the quarterfinals. Their consistency is starting to be doubted and their opponents will be very happy with the collapse that is slowly starting to erode. I think maybe Barcelona is quite devastated by this recent defeat, especially since it was a defeat against an eternal rival and coupled with less than optimal results in the domestic league. This can make the Blaugrana players feel mentally down and make it very difficult to forget the painful incident for them.

But I hope that will pass soon and they have to face the reality that their struggle is not finished and in the Champions League they have to prove that they deserve to qualify. The round of 16 match against Napoli is something they must win before qualifying for the next round and this will be a challenge for Xavi to bring out all the abilities of his players.

Inter Milan must be taken into account in the competition for trophies, their increasing performance makes them very difficult to stop. The defeat in last season's final has shaped Inter Milan into a team that is better prepared to face all the challenges this season. Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid must be more alert when they meet Inter Milan because Simone Inzaghi's troops could make them go home sooner than expected. These four teams always appear consistently in the domestic league, if they make it to the semifinals it will create an ideal final this season.

[klidex]

The bad part about what City going through right now is that KDB is back, and we all know how kevin plays, that dude has been awesome ever since his return, just a couple games and he is already doing things that saves them, dude is amazing and I agree that he is going to end up being even better. But that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a missing player yet again.

They got Kevin De Bruyne back, but they are missing Haaland right now at the same time, those two were the best duo in all of football world last season, and they haven't played any games together this season so far I think, or if any, that must be before KDB got injured. So City is not even at 100% right now and will take a while, need to get Haaland back, and both those players in 100% shape.

The return of Haaland to have the both players on pitch will be a great boost for Manchester City. When Kevin De Bruyne was out due to injury, the team was still playing good even though they were not playing on their best form that time, they were missing him in the midfield. Despite that, the performance of this team was tremendous and they were still able to maintain the first four positions in the standings.

Kevin De Bruyne return is a great addition back to the team, he has been contributing to most of their winnings since his return and that has boos the morale of the team again. Haaland return to have them both on the pitch will make this team perform better and a premier league potential title contender awaits them again this season.

Even without the presence of 2 key players, Manchester City is still playing optimally and is not experiencing a very significant decline, even though it is not as good as last season, Manchester City is still a strong candidate to win the title because Manchester City is still fighting for the top position in the standings and currently they are in 2nd place. , the return of 2 key players certainly makes Manchester City look extraordinary again and like last season because the club's strength comes from these 2 key players Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, many people miss these two players contributing again on the field and providing frightening attacks opposing club.

Yes, since Kevin De Bruyne returned he immediately helped Manchester City win, it's proven that even though he was absent for a long time, it seems like his potential is still quite good. So Pep Guardiola is not worried about player does not lose its best performance.

[ancafe]

If they start struggling, they often keep struggling and it was what happened to them last season at the end and now it is happening so much earlier. But what's worse for them is how well Liverpool is playing and that Manchester City is now picking up steam after KDB now came back, Doku is about to be fully back and he will be in great shape again and then there is Haaland who will soon be back at full strength. By then, I doubt that Arsenal can compete with them for the last 18 games.

Manchester City is able to pull off a big fat winning series and if it's necessary that they win 100% of their games, they could do it. That's where I think Arsenal won't be able to do that.

For Liverpool and Manchester City may be a little more convincing because these two teams have good players and also both have experience in the Champions League. Arsenal also have great players but they are not mentally enough when competing in the Champions League and maybe this mindset they need to fix so that Arsenal can provide competition while playing there. If this condition is unable to be created then I doubt Arsenal's ability when playing in the Champions League against a far more balanced team.

Come to the FC Porto headquarters is not easy even though the quality of them is a little more draw, but FC Porto is a team that always plays in the Champions League so that their experiences are much better. Arteta had to struggle to get points in the match to make it easier for them when playing at the Emirates Stadium.

Playoff games are always more difficult because the responsibility is higher, any mistake can be fatal, so teams play more carefully. This has always been the case for Porto, they are very dangerous at home and I'm a little surprised to see 4.5 at Porto at home. Arsenal is considered the favorite in this match with 1.78, but I would not risk betting on Arsenal to win in this match.
There is still more than a month before the match, so it is not worth assessing the current form of the teams. Maybe during this time Arsenal will be able to improve their game, since they are now in a clear decline, the opponents were not the easiest, but this does not justify so many defeats.
