UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

In terms of experience, the three teams have different levels of experience in the Champions League and I think there will be interesting competition between the three teams this season in the Champions League. Moreover, with the return of Kevin De Bruyne to the Manchester City squad for the remainder of this season, there will certainly be a good incentive for the Manchester City team itself to compete again with other big teams in the Champions League, especially with the two teams you have mentioned.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City do not have very strong opponents in the round of 16. This means that the three teams above are favorites to advance to the quarter-finals, and there they will get better competition for tickets to the semi-finals. The performance of each team in the domestic league so far is basically not the only benchmark for judging how good their chances are of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Player injuries, suspensions and players' physical fitness ahead of the match will certainly be something to pay attention to as well.

I agree that the 3 teams mentioned above are candidates who could be favorites to qualify for the final, but maybe they will meet more quickly in the next match, either in the quarter-finals or in the semi-finals, where in the end only one team will be left. There are many scenarios that will happen after the 8 best teams qualify for the quarter-finals, so we'll just have to wait and see how that happens.

When it comes to Inter I personally think that it will be really difficult for them to reach the finale 2 seasons in a row.    They just need to get luckier than this in draw phase from now on.

For example they are going to face Atletico Madrid in this round. The Spanish team are literally one of the toughest opponents Inter could have drawn really. I don't expect any of the matches in draw to be easy at all for Inter. They are going to face them at Giuseppe Meazza first and they had better win there. Otherwise I think they can say goodbye to the Champions League early. 

I would like to see Inter in next stages of the tournament to tell the truth. They are having a really solid season.

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.

Doesn't this apply to Real Madrid or Bayern? Bayern wins the Bundesliga every year and for them this is a routine/norm that they cannot fall below and every year they want to win the Champions League. Real won the Champions League three times in a row and 4 times in 5 years. It is difficult to imagine that at some point they will say “perhaps we have enough.” Each top team strives to win all tournaments in which it participates. As for personal meetings between them, I hope that City will be knocked out earlier and there simply won’t be any 

I think City should go further because in football every team has a year when they dominate. If Manchester City wins again this year, it will force the UCL and these other teams to be better. Thus, we will see a tighter competition next year. I think Real Madrid or City are the favorites this year.

Although I'm also not entirely sure about Inter at this moment but ya, atleast playing against Atletico in the round of 16 still allows Inter to be able to qualify for the quarterfinals . Although indeed, it's definitely not easy to beat Atletico but at least, it doesn't mean Inter have lost the chance completely because after all,Inter also have a good performance and at least for the competition in the round of 16 still gives Inter a chance. But yes, if it is assumed that Inter will reach the Champions League final this season then ya, that assumption I am sure will not happen no matter the reason.

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 an important player for Manchester City. I think no one can deny that, but football is not a game played by one person. If that were the case, PSG should have won every cup when Messi-Neymar-Mbappe played. The good news for Manchester City is De Bruyne's return to the team. I hope we don't see his injury again in the coming years. It gives great pleasure to watch him.

Thus, we will see a tighter competition next year. I think Real Madrid or City are the favorites this year.

Most likely, it looks like Pep Guardiola's target is to defend the title they won in the Champions League last season. remembering several of Pep's previous statements, he had told the media crew that they would defend the title they won as winners of the Champions League. more or less, Pep once said something like that. that's why Pep Guardiola often experiments with his team, especially rotating players in various positions and changing patterns. maybe, I suspect that Pep is preparing something while waiting for De Bruyne to recover from his injury.
now, De Bruyne has recovered from his injury. Pep is just waiting for Haaland to return to the field, who is scheduled to recover at the end of this month. if Pep Guardiola's squad is complete again, it means Pep can implement the system he likes the most, just like last season. however, several new players will be assigned instead of Gundohan or several other players. what is certain is that the team that will play against City must be prepared and cannot underestimate it.

Talking about Real Madrid, so far Carlo Ancelotti has been able to bring his young squad to a brilliant performance. every match that Madrid plays, relies more on its young players. however, they displayed an impressive performance and should be considered as one of the challengers in this competition. but we'll see if Madrid can overcome its first obstacle in the round of 16 against Leipzig. if yes, the challenges in the next phase will be quite challenging, especially if you meet a team that is equally strong and at the same time the players are well established and experienced. well, let's just enjoy it first, the round of 16 which will be held next month.

[Sim_card]

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.

Inter has been respected because they were runner up in the last season and they have an outstanding performance in their domestic league recently. So Inter will become a strong contender in this season.

In terms of consistency, Real Madrid is more consistent among other teams. I'm not referring to consistent for owning the most UCL's trophy, but the recent performance in domestic league.

I also have that feelings that Inter will go far this season because they have being consistence with their games and if you look at their performance this season, it is an outstanding one. Last season, they proved that they were good but they couldn't stop Man City from winning the trophy. Real Madrid is the league favorite and if you look at their current performance, you win know that they have the passion and zeal to win the league. They have being displaying their potentials and don't have respect for any club. Any season that they did not win UCL, they are always unhappy and they take the next season to be a do or die affair in order to win the league. This makes me to wonder if the league was made for them alone, I guess winning UCL is why the Real Madrid is existing.

[temple]

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.

Mental weakness is the first thing people refer to when we discuss whether Arsenal can have a chance, but the quality of their players is not as good as that of Manchester City. Liverpool could be considered more equal in terms of the quality of the players, but they have Klopp in the background and I think if we compare the coaches, it becomes comprehensible that Klopp can be an important factor during a game. I don't think Arteta can yet compete with him. Klopp understands better how to choose his words in order to push his players even more.

I also have that feelings that Inter will go far this season because they have being consistence with their games and if you look at their performance this season, it is an outstanding one. Last season, they proved that they were good but they couldn't stop Man City from winning the trophy.

Inter Milan has quality squad, they have strong players in each line. Actually, it very makes sense if they can go far until the final round. Moreover, as you said that they played quite consistently during this season, both in Serie A and UCL. So, it won't be so surprised if we can see Inter Milan to achieve the final round again. However, it will depend on the which team to face in the next round. If Inter Milan must face again Man City or Real Madrid, they may fail to reach again the final round.

Real Madrid is the league favorite and if you look at their current performance, you win know that they have the passion and zeal to win the league. They have being displaying their potentials and don't have respect for any club. Any season that they did not win UCL, they are always unhappy and they take the next season to be a do or die affair in order to win the league. This makes me to wonder if the league was made for them alone, I guess winning UCL is why the Real Madrid is existing.

Indeed. Real Madrid played consistently, they showed their power to win both La Liga and UCL this season. Real Madrid attackers (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham) become very productive in this season. They already scored many goals and assists. If they failed to reach the final round in the last season, it is because they are unlucky to face Man City in the semi-final. But for this season, I believe Real Madrid will achieve the final round. They look like more ready to play in the final round this season.

Real Madrid and Man City are the strongest competitors in the UCL League this season, I hope the two teams will not meet in the semifinals again but I want both teams to meet in the final. Last season Real Madrid there were still many mistakes made, they were also not ready so they could not do anything when fighting Man City in the semifinals last season and at the same time Man City did have high motivation to defeat Real Madrid to advance to the final and won the UCL League for the first time. But for this season I think Real Madrid is better prepared than Man City to win the UCL League.

Because the progress of Real Madrid this season is very dangerous after Jude came to Real Madrid all Real Madrid matches changed. The Madrid player's mentality is also good because it is in a positive trend because of a series of good results. And more importantly how Ancelotti can manage the condition of the locker room and the player's ego so that tactics such as all the play of Ancelotti's role can run well because the players believe in him.

It can be seen from Real Madrid strength this season that they are certainly very ready to reach the Champions League final. But for that reason, if they meet Manchester City earlier or in the semifinals, it will be quite exciting to see who is the best of these two teams. Indeed, Real Madrid has a quite productive front line this season where Bellingham seems to have found his best form by being able to score lots of goals in Laliga. Moreover, they have just won the Spanish Super Cup which makes them even more enthusiastic about winning the trophy in the competition they are participating in.

Apart from that, this season Real Madrid is very strong in every line where the midfield and defense are very strong so it will be very difficult for other teams to beat them. In the round of 16, Real Madrid will face Leipzig from the Bundesliga. Maybe in terms of strength, Real Madrid is no longer in doubt that they are stronger than Leipzig, so this match will be quite easy to predict the final result.

[Raflesia]

At the moment, Inter are still quite favored because they will fight Real Sociedad which in fact is a club with the status of a dark horse at the moment but that also does not mean Inter will win easily because in the end this is just talking about probability and at the moment their probability is quite large when compared to Sociedad, but it does not rule out the possibility of unexpected surprises like the previous few seasons in the Champions League sometimes there are some unexpected surprises including last season where Inter became semi-finalists because it was a surprise that could not be expected before.

A slight correction in that Inter will be playing against Atletico not Real Sociedad as they were already in the same group before which meant Inter finished second and Sociedad will face PSG in the last 16.
Inter and Atletico at the moment they can still be said to be a big match because after all, currently Inter's performance is in good shape and Atletico also they are actually quite good when compared to the previous season, this season they are better because they are helped by the presence of Morata and Depay for their attack line.

This will be a big match in the round of 16 because after all in terms of experience they can still be said to be balanced, in terms of the quality of their players is also not much different so this is still a fifty-fifty.
As for Sociedad at the moment they are indeed a dark horse club which is indeed very good even they can get the top position defeating Inter, Benfica and Salzburg who are subscriptions and I think being in the round of 16 with group winner status for a debutant club is quite impressive for Sociedad.

With what Inter is doing currently at their league,I predict them to get to the finals again of this competition,they are really serious about winning this trophy,and it might surprise people how they can win big teams and win it.I know not many people tip them to be a contender to the champions league trophy,but I believe so much in what they are doing,and how they are playing to be able to compete with the likes of Mancity,Madrid, Arsenal,Bayern and Dortmund for the trophy.I can't add PSG because they haven't shown that they can win this tittle because  they weren't doing well in their league,it is of recent that they have started  winning games.

[QueenVera]

I think it's too soon to make predictions for the three big clubs, we will never know the development of other clubs which may have surprises for the three clubs above, although I'm sure Manchester City will go smoothly to reach the UCL final this season but I think they should be able to overcome Copenhagen in the round of 16 because they also should not be underestimated. Every club that qualifies for the round of 16 is definitely not a club that is usually easy to beat. Manchester City will definitely have difficulties too.

I'm not sure that Madrid and Munich will run smoothly until the final, I think there will be a meeting between the three later, especially since Manchester City's meeting last season eliminated Munich and Madrid before the final, it looks quite good, it's just Madrid and Munich this season have talented new players who make it possible that there will be fierce competition if the meeting occurs again. I also hope that in the final Manchester City will meet Madrid or Munich.

But maybe that will happen again if they don't meet in the semi-finals or quarter-finals. I think there will probably be a big club meeting in the final. So far, these three clubs are the most favourites, but there are other clubs that cannot be ignored either.  

The UCL round of 16 is sef to kick off next month and for some teams, it's going to be a serious tussle and for some it'll be a minor jump through to the next stage. Judging based on team strength, City has a better chance to advance than Copenhagen, so does PSG, Dortmund and Bayern. For the remaining fixtures, the teams are strong and the result is just unpredictable.

 Arsenal and Porto are in good form, same performance range, the probability is shaky, thesame with Napoli and Barcelona. For Madrid and Leipzig, one would say Madrid are in a better position to advance but the German side shouldn't be underrated though, they're also good in their own way. For Inter and Atletico, it's going to be a serious battle, none of them would allow the other to just go freely without making it tough. Hopefully these teams would use their home advantages wisely and to the best of their ability too.

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.

Doesn't this apply to Real Madrid or Bayern? Bayern wins the Bundesliga every year and for them this is a routine/norm that they cannot fall below and every year they want to win the Champions League. Real won the Champions League three times in a row and 4 times in 5 years. It is difficult to imagine that at some point they will say “perhaps we have enough.” Each top team strives to win all tournaments in which it participates. As for personal meetings between them, I hope that City will be knocked out earlier and there simply won’t be any 

I think City should go further because in football every team has a year when they dominate. If Manchester City wins again this year, it will force the UCL and these other teams to be better. Thus, we will see a tighter competition next year. I think Real Madrid or City are the favorites this year.

To be honest, I don't want to see Manchester City win this Chmpanios league anymore because they shouldn't win the tournament. Manchester City is very much dependent on some layer and if they lose these players they won't work as the team we know anymore that's why I think they should win the title this time and another team like Real Madrid got more chances than Manchester City.

I think City will be favorites to win when they have Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne. These two players really brought City to the peak of their performance. So without those two players I think City are not favorites to win. We can see how City drew against Crystal Palace and was defeated by Aston Villa. Without KDB they cannot develop tactics and pass the ball well. And without Haaland they don't have a great finisher on the front line who will take the slightest chance into a goal. So I hope they both can return as soon as possible before City have to be eliminated from the Champions League.

Haaland has big impact on how finalising their attacks, because he is a great finisher on the front line. His clinical goal-scoring ability is indeed a significant asset for City who turns even the slightest chance into a goal. Without him, City may lack the cutting edge in the attack that can make the crucial difference., as evidenced by the struggles against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

Kevin De Bruyne has a big role in developing tactics and orchestrating the team's passing game. His vision, creativity, and ability to control the flow of the match are pivotal for City's success. Those are reasons to put  City as favorite, given their influential roles. While City has a deep squad, certain players have unique qualities that can be irreplaceable in certain situations, especially at the highest levels of competition like the Champions League. And Manchester City have a great squad depth when key players are sidelined.

[makishart]

I think the final match will be Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich. City is indeed very strong in the Champions League and they are also the defending champions. De Bruyne's injury had a big impact on City's game and we know last season they won the treble with a big role from KDB and Haaland. So I favor Madrid vs Munich which will be the final match. I put City in third place and Barcelona in fourth place. I think everyone should not forget Barcelona because they are also one of the strong teams in the Champions League even though their current performance does not make them one of the favorites to win this season.

I don’t think that the likelihood of such a final is high - firstly, the teams can meet at earlier stages of the tournament, and secondly, they are not favorites. Take a look at the bookmakers' odds on who will reach the final:

Manchester City 1.96

Fc Bayern Munich 2.58

Real Madrid 3.19

Arsenal 3.68

Now the quotes are a little distorted because City have the easiest opponent of all possible and we can say that City are already in the quarter finals, but in any case they are the favorites of the tournament and in order for us to see the final without them, someone has to knock them out. I would like to believe that someone will succeed.

Why's Arsenal on this list? They're not the side to leave there,I'd rather want to see Paris Saint Germans.

Real Madrid with that odd because they have no good enough striker. They're still my favorites to win regardless.

Bayern Munich are good I just double doubt the impact Thomas Tuchel can bring Into Bayern Munich and the players,  Manchester City yet again Buzzing with the return of Kevin De Bruyne back. He's already made a great impact right now in this game. They have a very good chance of defending but I won't support until they do win.

Actually, I understand your Arsenal stance. I wouldn't write them off despite their struggles. They're tenacious after losing three straight in the league and could surprise us in the finals. Kevin De Bruyne's return boosts Manchester City. He had a big impact, but football can change quickly. City may be at its best, but UCL is different. At Bayern, I'm undecided about Tuchel. The Bayern coach is good, but whether he can maximize their potential is unclear. How it ends intrigues me

UEFA Champions League is different that's why a club like Arsenal cannot go far, all of these things they did during the group stage was just for the main time. How consistent can they do that? They're not the club in the Champions League to fight for sthay trophy. They're bottlers and should make sure they go about trying to win the Premier League Competition.

A bit surprised to see that how intermilan has been unfavored this season to win the UCL and bookies put arsenal in which was not understandable and that's my took from the result of this. Arsenal never had good run in the UCL. This club has no UCL trophy and this season there are so many strong teams in UCL. Im doubting arsenal to go to the semi final. Arsenal was not a club that has winning mentality in any of prestigious competitions. What you said that above was true and i strongly disagree with this.
As a better and i just try to realize the fact that if real madrid and city are the most favorite but arsenal? what? Arsenal's performance in the EPL has been disappointing, as they have been unable to secure a victory. The club is still far from being of champion in UCL.

Arsenal was always failed in the europa league which means that if UCL's level is still far higher compared to the arsenal. People were being very delusional to think that arsenal can win the competition. This club is going to go out soon.
It's only a matter of time till we will see arsenal to be veiwers of UCL like us. I think that it doesn't even matter how much money being spent by the club but it's about how the club has winning mentality.
Real madrid has owned it all. The most powerful club in UCL this season.

Last season Arsenal got dumped out of the European Europa League Competition by Sporting Lisbon, Yeah? They'll be facing another Portuguese side this time in the Champions League knockout stages ( Porto ) who are we know are pretty good at home. I know that home game would a be hell for Arsenal to go through and it'll be difficult winning that gane when you lack a top goal scoring player in between.

You're right, I believe the bookmakers are purely English and they promote clubs from the English Premier League Competition very well.

They don't have what it take. Just like you've said Inter Milan who went as far as to the Champions League finals last season are nowhere to be seen? They also have the best attacking system in Italian Seria A. They should be ahead when it get to the favorites for the Champions League Competition.

To be honest, I don't want to see Manchester City win this Chmpanios league anymore because they shouldn't win the tournament. Manchester City is very much dependent on some layer and if they lose these players they won't work as the team we know anymore that's why I think they should win the title this time and another team like Real Madrid got more chances than Manchester City.

Whichever team is able to maintain their best game until the end of the competition, they have the right to win the Champions League, including Manchester City. Dependence on several players is still the main obstacle that makes it difficult for Manchester City to maintain its performance when its mainstay players are absent.
Guardiola will try to maintain their success last season. His team's performance has improved again, he is trying to give Manchester City a second UCL title in a row. Other teams still have a chance, Real Madrid is still the strongest challenger in the title race, Bayern Munich must also be taken into account, while Inter will try to make a surprise.

I think City will be favorites to win when they have Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne. These two players really brought City to the peak of their performance. So without those two players I think City are not favorites to win. We can see how City drew against Crystal Palace and was defeated by Aston Villa. Without KDB they cannot develop tactics and pass the ball well. And without Haaland they don't have a great finisher on the front line who will take the slightest chance into a goal. So I hope they both can return as soon as possible before City have to be eliminated from the Champions League.

Haaland has big impact on how finalising their attacks, because he is a great finisher on the front line. His clinical goal-scoring ability is indeed a significant asset for City who turns even the slightest chance into a goal. Without him, City may lack the cutting edge in the attack that can make the crucial difference., as evidenced by the struggles against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

Kevin De Bruyne has a big role in developing tactics and orchestrating the team's passing game. His vision, creativity, and ability to control the flow of the match are pivotal for City's success. Those are reasons to put  City as favorite, given their influential roles. While City has a deep squad, certain players have unique qualities that can be irreplaceable in certain situations, especially at the highest levels of competition like the Champions League. And Manchester City have a great squad depth when key players are sidelined.

Erling Haaland is a very influential player for Manchester City and he is the player that Pep Guardiola relies on most in scoring goals. Because Erling Haaland last season was the creator of the most goals in the Premier League so he was able to bring Manchester City to the title thanks to his tenacity on the front lines. So It is not surprising that his absence makes Manchester City's front line unstable and makes the club's performance not work optimally and only relies on the tactics implemented by Pep Guardiola.

The absence of Kevin De Bruyne is also very influential because Erling Haaland's performance is also not as sharp as last season where Kevin De Bruyne can help Erling Haaland in creating goal opportunities. Without him Erling Haaland also feels a loss because there is not attacking midfielder who can appear to replace him. So when these two players when he returns to the club, Manchester City will return to its best performance because the contribution between the two of them is very influential in Manchester City's success.
