UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Belarge]

Am shocked to see that Barca wasn't even speculated as one of the favorites for the UCL final this season.

Shocking news it is for the Blaugrana and their fans. They're completely classified as one of these competitive clubs that will be eliminated, going back to Camp Nou with no solid evidence. First to spot out from the numerous options of Barcelona performance, they're not actively in the race for the La Liga title this season, and secondly they lost important matches this season and points reduced. Perhapes Xavi Hernandez is in the picture, he ought to make things go smooth because he's incharge and everyone looks up to him for the improvement of the team.

You are shocked?

Haven't you seen their performance in other competitions this season. Let's be honest, they have not be satisfactory at all, and they have just been eliminated from Copa del Rey. I don't think they will go very far in the competition

If you look at Barcelona game in the Laliga and Copa del Rey as well as in the Champions League group stage, of course you can say that their performance is not impressive enough. Moreover, recently they were eliminated in the Copa Del Rey and also lost in the Spanish Super Cup final where they were humiliated by Real Madrid with a score of 4-1. Barcelona performance this season is not as good as last season, they tend to be inconsistent in maintaining their performance so I'm not too sure they will be able to reach the final this season. As you said, it is very likely that Barcelona will not be able to go far in the Champions League this season because the other teams are stronger than them.

Barcelona will face Napoli in the round of 16 which might be quite a crucial match for them because the first leg will be held at Napoli headquarters. If Barcelona fails to win the first leg I think it will be difficult for them to win in the second leg. I don't think Barcelona is weak this season but reaching the Champions League final is definitely difficult for them to achieve. After Messi was no longer at Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's performance in the Champions League was no longer that impressive.

I'm curious about what PSG will do at the same time. They have a really lucky draw just like a few other big teams in this round. But Real Sociedad can still be a tough challenge for PSG depending on PSG's performance level. You know the group stage wasn't the best kind for PSG. They made it to this stage thanks to the results of last group games.

From now on they really need to play extra. Real Sociedad aren't joking. They had a great group stage with Inter in the same group. Inter were one of the finalists of the previous season you know.  

Disappointing Inter Milan who shouldn't have come second, I expected them to lead that group but anyways Real Sociedad proved man wrongly. Competitive group stage to see them go top. They should be well prepared for the task ahead Take Kubo has been one impressive player carrying the club forward so far.

It's no lucky fixture, And I'm so certain that Paris Saint Germans will come out as winners at the end of the second fixture come February.
I've said this a billion times, Luis Enrique has a good idea on how to face Real Sociedad and he'll defeat em so they could march on to the next round!

The fact that PSG didn't perform excellently in their champions league group stage has made so many think that they will aswell not do so well into the round of sixteen especially this fixture against Real Socidad which most persons are considering to be challenging to PSG because they think PSG has much dependency on mbappe.

Just like you said I agree so we'll that PSG will most likely come out winners, when it comes to the champions league, PSG is way more experienced than Real sociedad and Enrique is a very experienced UCL coach who's determined to make the difference this time unlike before where the just get kicked out of the UCL but I'm very optimistic Real sociedad may end their UCL journey in this round of sixteen and PSG is most definitely going beyond this stage unto the next stage of the league but wining the trophy is not assured for them.

I believe that PSG has more Champions League experience than Real Sociedad since they qualify for the competition every year because they are the best in League 1. Real Sociedad are performing well and will give psg a tough time, but I believe psg will defeat them and qualify to the next stage of the competition because they have many key players in the club that can make them win the game, but when talking about winning trophies, you can't include psg in the list because they failed when playing with big clubs because even if they join psg with Bayern Munich or Manchester City now, You will know they will defeat them because they lack players capable of competing with Bayern Munich or Manchester City, let alone Real Madrid.

PSG had strong players the previous two seasons when they faced Madrid but were unable to defeat Madrid and win the Champions League, and now that they do not have such players how can they win the Champions League They need to add another crucial player to the team. They are more focused on Mbappe, and he cannot do everything which is why I want him to leave the club so that they can devise another strategy for the team. If Mbappe does not win the Champions League, I believe he will want to leave the club since he is still a young player and has to win the Champions League before deciding to stay in the league and pursue more money.

PSG against real socieded is clear and it is certain that PSG is favoured to win this match. in terms of experience in the champion league PSG is better and flashier than real socieded. as well as in terms of player and coach PSG is far above real socieded. so it can win easily against real socieded it's normal.

By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. They've got the squad, the skillful and more experienced players in their team compared to Copenhagen.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

What you say is the true fact, despite Copenhagen's fierce resistance when they host Manchester City at their own home. these two teams have quite obvious gaps, both in terms of team depth, experience, and also the performance displayed by these two teams. in fact, you yourself said that some teams will have an easy journey for them in the last 16 phase of the Champions League. so it's natural that there will be many opinions that strong teams are able to advance to the next stage. moreover, if we measure the strength of the two teams mentioned in this post. Plus, Pep can now rely on De Bruyne and Haaland again in the Champions League competition.

On the Copenhagen side, we are well aware, even the Copenhagen coach also knows. even though the first leg is played at their home ground, City has a high probability of beating them. but it wouldn't be football if they didn't put up a fight and show their best game. even though in reality, this team could be said to be a mediocre team. however, effort and hard work will always be done by every team that competes. On paper, City can beat Copenhagen in both the first and second legs. well, especially if we refer to temporary betting exchanges. City with odds @1.32, while Copenhagen with @9.80. It seems clear, there is a gap created by bookmakers. although in reality, football is unique and anything can happen. however, if we talk from the perspective of these two teams. even you yourself said that a strong team would be able to advance to the next stage.

Xavi is trying his possible best for the team,he made them win the Lalliga tittle,and they also qualified for the Champions league this season,Yes,their performance dropped a little,but you don't have to blame the coach,the players are to be blamed because in most of the matches they play,they miss alot of chances which later hurts them,because in football,if you aren't able to take your chances when you get them,times coming in that game when those chances will not come again,and pressure from your opponent will make you make mistakes,and before you know it,you've lose.
Another problem Barca have currently is their striker, Lewandowski,he is no longer scoring as he used to,and this is really making them lose matches.

Xavi has played a very good role to date but indeed the problems that occur for Barcelona now cannot be completely blamed on Xavi because after all, we must be aware of the more complicated problems within them at this time.
Player injury problems and financial difficulties are still a barrier to Xavi being able to develop their current squad in a better direction so seeing this is actually somewhat inappropriate if we only blame Xavi for the difficulties Barcelona is experiencing now.
The situation that Xavi is currently experiencing is the same as what happened to Allegri at Juventus last season because in my opinion internal problems like this will not be solved only by a coach but club management also takes part and is responsible for solving club problems so that their performance in the game becomes more directed in the end.

I believe that PSG has more Champions League experience than Real Sociedad since they qualify for the competition every year because they are the best in League 1. ~

Controversial issue. PSG plays in the Champions League every year, but Sociedad plays with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético several times every year (twice in La Liga + sometimes in the Cups). It’s hard for me to say which experience is more important - the game with Benfica in the group stage or the game with Real Madrid, which is fighting for the title in La Liga. In Ligue 1 there are also clubs that play in the Champions League, but you know very well that they never claim anything, these clubs change like in a kaleidoscope and PSG clearly cannot get in Ligue 1 the same experience that Sociedad gets in La Liga.

League experience is not sufficient for any team to have the final victory in this matchup. The atmosphere of playing in the champions league is different from what we see in the league games irrespective of the league they’re playing from. PSG have the experience of the champions league and have been dominant in Ligue 1 back to back yearly. Real Soceidad on the other hand have no much prior experience of the champions league than PSG, so also, they can’t say to be the most dominant in La Liga even though they finished in the top four last season. I will be much reserved in the outcome of this match but will all facts on ground, PSG are the best team to win this match in both legs they’re going to be playing.

[makishart]

The champions league will be back by next month,and the different teams that qualified from the group stage will face each other again.It is a period when we get agitated about the clubs that will win,and the clubs that will lose,but there is one team i'm tipping to lift this tittle,either Manchester City,or Real Madrid.But if those two teams should go to the finals,then Mancity will win the league again making it two in a row.
They have their best players back from injury now,which are  Debruyne and Doku,these two players are really important to City at the moment,and their presence in a match final will give them an edge over their opponent.

I'm not really sure if the UEFA Champions League Final between Manchester City vs Real Madrid will be won by Manchester City. If you look at its history, Real Madrid always wins when playing in the UEFA Champions League Final. Although it is true that Manchester City's strength this season is very strong, especially as many of their main players have returned from injury, it does not guarantee that Manchester City will win again, especially if they have to face Real Madrid. Even when Manchester United returned to the Final in the 2009 season after previously winning in the 2008 season, in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final, Manchester United lost to Barcelona in the Final.

Maybe it won't, but you can't reject the fact that it would be one of the most watched ones for sure.
I am not saying this is the year, it is all about drawing luck, but if those two teams end up with the same finals then we are going to have one of the most watched ones in the last decade or so.

They have both done wonderful, and yes City won only once, but they have been quite awesome and dominated football for a while, and they have great players now. I think both teams playing a finals game will also break the amount of money people gamble on that as well, even more than super bowls as well.

I think that would be something that would fit perfectly for world football as well, because it would get attention from everyone, and that's what the world needs now. With tiktoks and social media, people have lower attention span, so spending 2+ hours on a game is not something new generation does, with a game like this, it would get their attention and keep it for the whole game.

Am shocked to see that Barca wasn't even speculated as one of the favorites for the UCL final this season. Manchester city has the grit and tenacity mostly with the return of De Bruyne who had been out due to injury.
The worthy finalist in my opinion would have teams like Inter Milan, Real Madrid playing against Manchester city.

Also, if Manchester city gets to the final and wins, it might be one small issue for their sister club Girona which is fighting hard to be more relevant in the la Liga and have done so impressively well so far.

Barcelona deserved no spot as a favorite team to win UCL buddy, it has been performing so poorly and it must be out from UCL as soon as possible. UCL was only for best of the best and im sure that intermilan will be replacing arsenal to be the strongest team to win UCL this season. im shocked to see you said that about barcelona but in reality was saying the opposite thing if barcelona's performance was relly poor. Barcelona was still playing in the UCL caused by it has gotten the easiest route compared to the other club.

The thing will be going even harder for barcelona once the club will able to go to the further stage. Barcelona has not yet got a strong club as its opponent and you must also be aware how barcelona had a bad performance in the domestic league and competition as well.
There is no strong point in putting barcelona as the most favorite club to win the UCL this season. Barcelona is still playing so badly this time and i think that the club can leave from there anytime.

It's so crazy to put a weak team like barcelona to be the favorite club to get UCL trophy this season. Barcelona's performance was not even better compared to the sociedad and PSG.

If you look at Barcelona game in the Laliga and Copa del Rey as well as in the Champions League group stage, of course you can say that their performance is not impressive enough. Moreover, recently they were eliminated in the Copa Del Rey and also lost in the Spanish Super Cup final where they were humiliated by Real Madrid with a score of 4-1.

As you said, it is very likely that Barcelona will not be able to go far in the Champions League this season because the other teams are stronger than them.

Barcelona will face Napoli in the round of 16 which might be quite a crucial match for them because the first leg will be held at Napoli headquarters. If Barcelona fails to win the first leg I think it will be difficult for them to win in the second leg. I don't think Barcelona is weak this season but reaching the Champions League final is definitely difficult for them to achieve. After Messi was no longer at Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's performance in the Champions League was no longer that impressive.

Currently, Barcelona performance in La Liga and Copa del Rey not enough impressive and conceded goals evert match, eliminating from Copa del Rey after losing from Athletic Bilbao and how weakness defensive of Barcelona conceded 4 goals. Inconsistent performance made Xavi Hernandez not secure with his position and any rumor get potential sack from Barcelona manager exactly crucial losses in Copa del Rey from Athletic Bilbao.

In 16 of Champion League round, Barcelona will away first leg against Napoli and current bad record against Serie A teams give bad dreaming for Barcelona will impressive performance on first leg or not? Since become the UEFA Champion League winner season 2015/16, Barcelona never have good achievement lead until final round, last two season in a row failed qualify to 16 round and its first time for Xavi Hernandez made Barcelona lead to knock out round, for the final I doubt has inconsistency performance will be easy for Barcelona will get one place in the final round.

Since the start of this season, Barcelona's performance has been quite bad and even worse than last season, but I don't think that the issue of Xavi Hernandez's dismissal is true because I think Xavi Hernandez is a good coach and what Barcelona is currently experiencing is not entirely his fault. In fact, Barcelona's management must be blamed because they were unable to stabilize the club's finances so they could bring in quality players.

In the round of 16 against Napoli, I think Barcelona's chances of qualifying are still quite big because on the other hand, the Napoli team is also experiencing performance problems this season, but to go further and compete for the title this season, I really doubt Barcelona this season.

Yes, experience does not always provide a guarantee, but with a lot of experience a club can have a greater chance of qualifying for the next round and Real Sociedad will face PSG and maybe PSG will be the favorite in that match.
But there is no guarantee that PSG will progress to the next round because every season there are always surprises that are difficult to predict.
I admit that PSG is currently one of the best clubs, but we'll see if what I say comes true.
Against Real Sociedad not easy because Real Sociedad really has quality players and often has experience in the Champions League.
But long as PSG has weakness against Real Sociedad, I'm sure PSG can beat it and qualify for the next round, but if I guess the first match, Real Sociedad will score 1 score and PSG will score 2 scores.

In the round of 16 against Napoli, I think Barcelona's chances of qualifying are still quite big because on the other hand, the Napoli team is also experiencing performance problems this season, but to go further and compete for the title this season, I really doubt Barcelona this season.

Last season Barcelona's performance was still quite impressive and they were able to win the domestic league title and this season Barcelona's performance has actually decreased and not improved, and I really agree with what you said if Xavi Hernandez is a good coach and he is actually very suitable to be Barcelona coach considering he is a former Barcelona player so he already understands how to adapt to the Barcelona players and how to find a style of game that suits Barcelona's play. In my opinion, everything Barcelona is experiencing right now is not only Xavi's fault but the management who do not provide financial support So Xavi can't do much about changing coaches, it would be the same if the management didn't provide financial support for coaches to build the performance of all the players.

In the match against Napoli, I'm sure Barcelona can win it and qualify for the quarter-finals. Honestly, I'm not sure Barcelona can advance to the final or semifinals if you look at Barcelona's current poor performance, so I think Barcelona will definitely focus a little in the La Liga match to overtake Girona and Real Madrid.

I admit that PSG is currently one of the best clubs, but we'll see if what I say comes true.

There is no doubt about PSG being one of the best clubs in Europe. In fact, PSG's squad has always been one of the best. In fact, since the Neymar era and then the arrival of Messi and Mbappe, PSG has become even better in terms of squad composition. It's just that a good squad doesn't actually become the strongest club. Because as we know, every season PSG always fails to go further. And now the star players have started to leave PSG. Mbappe is one of those who is still staying but it is reported that he will also leave after his contract expires at the end of this season. Unless PSG succeeds in persuading Mbappe to sign a new contract.

But for the match against Real Sociedad it shouldn't be too difficult for PSG to win the round of 16 and qualify for the next stage. And until now PSG have never lifted the UCL trophy so it would be great if this season they can get it. Even though the possibility is small. Because Real Madrid and Man City currently still have a better chance of fighting for the trophy this season. But in football surprises have become commonplace, haven't they?

And that PSG gains a lot from their dominance in Ligue 1 or from their “experience” in the Champions League? For the second year in a row, they cannot even win their group, losing to outsiders (last year to Benfica, and this year to Dortmund). Of course, Sociedad is the underdog in this pair, but as I wrote above, they have extensive and regular experience of playing as an underdog against top teams and I don’t think that these games will be a walk in the park for PSG.

I admit that PSG is currently one of the best clubs, but we'll see if what I say comes true.

Although PSG is more experienced than the Real Sociedad but that does not mean that they must win the match, besides if you check their last games with Dortmund and Newcastle both of which they draw in the matches. Those two matches or at least I was expecting a win with Newcastle since Dortmund is as hot and strong right now.

But this also goes to talk about how one cannot be over confident about the performance or outcome of the match. Every club wants to make history this season of champions league and Real Sociedad as PSG to win the match. What will determine their success will be the experience or the confidence that will be built in their players and formation on that day.

PSG will try to use the experience they have which includes the chemistry of players they in their squad but Real Sociedad will try to rely on the confidence instilled on the players by the manager and the club's management. 14th of February is the day.

In the match against Napoli, I'm sure Barcelona can win it and qualify for the quarter-finals. Honestly, I'm not sure Barcelona can advance to the final or semifinals if you look at Barcelona's current poor performance, so I think Barcelona will definitely focus a little in the La Liga match to overtake Girona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona will hardly get to the semi finals and finals given by the current level of performance they've had. Their last two games were not really impressive with the way they poorly won over Porto and how they failed to win their second leg with the Antwerp which happens to be their last match so far.

Unlike Antwerp, Napoli is a very strong club to contend with and they have to do extra efforts to secure a win for themselves. I know this as a very tough match but Napoli also have the chance to win this match if they put in more efforts with the current squad. Napoli should try and bring Osimhen back to the pitch on the day so he can help them secure goals.

You are shocked?

Haven't you seen their performance in other competitions this season. Let's be honest, they have not be satisfactory at all, and they have just been eliminated from Copa del Rey. I don't think they will go very far in the competition

Barcelona can never be the favorite for the Champions League with the current situation they have in this team. Barcelona lost many points in La Liga and they lost the games they could easily win, on the other hand there many injured players in this team and that's why Barcelona is not in good form.
Even their coach, Xavi is about to get fired from the team if they continue their bad performance.

Can you imagine a team losing two simple competition in the same month to grab Champions League title from teams like Manchester City or the others!
Barcelona lost Supercopa de Espana earlier this month against Real Madrid by three goals difference then lost against Athletic Bilbao by two goals difference in Copa del Rey. They are way away from their normal performance and barely keeping up good results in La Liga. They are lucky to face a fluctuating team like Napoli in the next round, otherwise you can imagine them being kicked along with Xavi, but it would be really sad if Napoli is the one kicking them from UEFA Champions League!

I admit that it is a big advantage for Barcelona to meet Napoli in the round of 16 because Napoli is also in a bad situation like Barcelona so the percentage of these two teams to qualify for the round of 8 is still wide open.

Barcelona's performance this season is quite bad indeed and there is no possibility whatsoever for them to win the title this season, in the domestic league alone they can't get the title let alone the Champions League, I wouldn't be surprised if Barcelona won't go far in the UCL this season because It's indeed worth it, with their current performance it's only luck to meet teams that are having problems or under performance that has allowed Barelona to get this far.

let's say yes great advantage and shameless luck
at the moment Napoli is facing a big internal crisis, I don't see them as a team that can easily compete in the Champions League, so I'm betting on their exit soon
UNFORTUNATELY obviously, I'm not happy about this

Seeing Barcelona's performance which tends to be less stable, it seems normal that Barcelona is not a favorite in the UCL because the competition is quite tough, while the performance of rivals such as Real Madrid, Man City and Munich is more impressive than Barcelona, so at least Barcelona must appear impressive. in Laliga, winning continuously so that you can appear confident in the UCL.
Yes, I heard rumors that Xavi was threatened with being fired because of Barcelona's current performance. But it doesn't seem like it would be easy for Barcelona to fire the coach, at least wait until the end of the season so that the coach's dismissal doesn't have a big impact on the team.
