UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

I also believe that unfortunately Napoli has no chance of winning against Barcelona, who have not had exceptional performances, but are certainly not facing the stability problems that Napoli currently have
Napoli lost badly against small teams like Frosinone, this is not a sign of health

With the way FC Barcelona is performing in La Liga currently, they even lost heavily to Villareal at Camp Nou with a 3-5 score in favor of Villareal. I know that Napoli is not also performing well this season, but there is a chance for Napoli to win against FC Barcelona in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

I think both teams have the same strength and it is not impossible that this match will be quite exciting in the first leg. But generally, Dortmund journey in the Champions League this season looks quite good because they were in a quite difficult group but they managed to win the group. Even though their performance hasn't improved much in the Bundesliga, I don't think this will affect their mentality in the Champions League.

It is very natural that these two teams will compete quite strongly, especially for PSV because they will be the hosts for the first leg. Apart from that, Dortmund has shown their away strength quite well in the Champions League this season where they were able to beat AC Milan, hold PSG to a draw and were also able to beat Newcastle United. So the match against PSV in the first leg I think Dortmund will be able to put pressure on them like they did in the group stage match away from home.

PSV Eindhoven is playing quite well in the domestic league and is at the top of the standings in contrast to Dortmund's performance in the domestic league which is currently ranked 5th, but this will not be a big influence for Dortmund because they are also quite good at playing in the Champions League and are in the group which was quite tough. While PSV Eindhoven played quite tough in the Champions League even though in the end they qualified for the round of 16. In the first leg, maybe PSV Eindhoven will have an advantage because they are playing as the home team, but Dortmund's performance in the Champions League cannot be underestimated even though they are playing away, so I think Dortmund can win or at least get a draw so that in the second leg, Dortmund can take advantage of it and achieved victory with a big score.

But even so, we also cannot underestimate PSV Eindhoven because it could be surprise us all if PSV they are serious about the Champions League competition because clubs that are sometimes considered incapable can usually appear impressive and surprise everyone.

The Champions League equation is getting tougher for Barcelona. Despite Barcelona being a big team and a big team, this team is currently losing most of their matches in La Liga or Champions League. Barcelona lost 2-3 against Antwerp in the last match. Against Barcelona Napoli are performing better than Barcelona. Barcelona's chances of going to the next round are very low with the way they are performing but if Napoli can improve their performance and if they play seriously in the upcoming matches then Nepali can qualify for the next round. There are many reasons behind Barcelona's poor performance but the most notable reason is that both Barcelona's defense and midfield are weak. Barcelona is not able to perform well in big matches due to weak defense and midfield.

Barcelona is shaky in performance, losing 5-3 to Villareal at Camp Nou, they're no longer the formidable Barcelona we all know, they're consider to be another average club in La Liga this season. Barcelona recently performance is sending an indirect message to their opponents in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. If Barcelona are unable to keep proper track record of winning, that means they have a whole lot of problems solved and this is certainly a big challenge that will continue to grow if Xavi Hernandez doesn't strive harder to resolved them.

Recently i comment in the Europa League thread we are not gonna see again the Liverpool Klopp in Champions League after this decission of get out of the red team after finish this season, in someways is a little bit sad, but it was a very long journey, lets see where he goes after that and wich team of him we are gonna see in the nexts Champions Leagues we need trainers like him.

This news is true because Kloop has also given an explanation to the media about his departure from the Reds team. After hearing the news that Salah was currently injured, Liverpool also had to receive other bad news. The coach who has guided Liverpool for many years and has achieved good results will soon leave the end of this season is certainly a major blow for Liverpool
However, life will go on, Liverpool must continue to move forward even without coach Kloop and we just pray that Kloop's departure will not have a big impact on Liverpool's performance in the EPL and UCL next season.

Salah will be back later but klopp will have gone forever. This is the different between both of news that have been published. In fact, salah needs only a few weeks to recover from his injury while the club may be searching a good coach to replace him. Im feeling that liverpool has been silently started to hunt he good coach for the club.
Yet an official announcement may be happening at the end of season. We can only speculate which names that have been strongly linked to the him. This is also helping as to track the record from the coach. Just hope liverpool will not sign inexperienced coach like when it was coached by brendan rogers.

However, life will go on, Liverpool must continue to move forward even without coach Kloop and we just pray that Kloop's departure will not have a big impact on Liverpool's performance in the EPL and UCL next season.

True and im guessing that the club will have so many preparations for the upcoming season. Liverpool needs also to find the new coach before the new season will begin. We will be getting so many surprises in the summer transfer season. It's started with some big rumor like mbappe will be answered too.
There will be many surprise to come at the middle of this month. it's also making the situation is even better than before. Im quite happy with the result right now. Liverpool can still even perform so well without salah and this is huge improvement by the club.

The defeat that Barcelona just experienced in the continuation of La Liga in the last week 21 gave a signal to Napoli that their opponent's defense was very fragile, Barcelona goal was easily penetrated by a team whose performance was poor in La Liga. Napoli must exploit Barcelona weaknesses into an opportunity to win in the first leg. After Xavi officially announced that he would no longer manage Barcelona next season, it will be very difficult for this team to give its best performance due to the players' increasingly deteriorating mental state. With conditions like this, there is very little hope that Barcelona can go further in the UCL, the decreasing goal productivity and a very fragile defense line make it very difficult for Barcelona to win.

Maybe this will be a tough thing for Liverpool because they will lose the coach who has been giving something extraordinary for them. But they should not be in this situation for too long, they must start preparing and see who the coach they will appoint to replace Jurgen Klopp. The time they have is long enough to consider who they will appoint.
In football, separation is a certain thing, sooner or later they will definitely be at the point where they have to end their cooperation. Liverpool are now experiencing this, for Klopp himself of course this is also a tough thing, but surely he must have considered before deciding to leave Liverpool.

Maybe at first I thought that it was very likely that Barcelona would be able to beat Napoli in the round of 16. But after seeing Barcelona lose to Villareal, I think Barcelona will be as bad as Napoli this season. So the Barcelona vs Napoli match will most likely be more difficult to predict after seeing both teams being inconsistent this season. But still, Barcelona is still quite good at controlling the ball on the field. But they are poor in defense and finishing. In contrast to Napoli, they are also bad at controlling the ball and they are also bad at defending. But Napoli's attacking power is sometimes still quite sharp. But Napoli have been poor since the start of the season. Meanwhile, Barcelona has been bad recently. So Barcelona may still have a slight advantage over Napoli.

In fact, both of these clubs are both having bad performance at the moment and we'll see, we will see that Napoli will lose against Napoli and if that really happens, I'm sure it's difficult to prediction who will qualify.
As the matches progress, these two big clubs start to lose their performance because there are always changes happening and I have also said before that I will continues to bet on every Champions League match, but for the Napoli and Barcelona matches I will avoid them because there will continue to be surprises.
This is only temporary speculation because there is still a fairly long gap when positive changes can occur and according to my prediction, Napoli is slightly superior to Barcelona.

Every defeat for Barcelona this season will be an advantage for their opponents and of course Napoli knows that Barcelona is not as promising as before. With this news, this Italian team will try to get rid of Barcelona. Moreover, it has been quite a long time since Barcelona reached the round of 16 and of course the frustration of defeat will continue to plague the Barcelona players so that Napoli doesn't need to worry about destroying them.

In general, Napoli is not better than Barcelona, but the number of defeats that Barcelona has suffered so badly recently in all competitions will certainly make it easier for Napoli to beat them over two legs. It would be another history if Barcelona were truly eliminated in the round of 16.

I'm starting to doubt Barcelona will be able to go far in the Champions League this season, the setbacks they're experiencing are real, and the latest result was when they lost to Villareal and that was after they were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey this season.
It's obviously not going to be easy for Xavi Hernandez and the players as they will be up against much stronger clubs in the Champions League. If they continue like this then Napoli will be able to eliminate them easily in the round of 16. The problem is that they can't do anything big in the transfer market because they have financial problems that don't allow them to spend more money to have a more solid squad. The key is to stick with the players they have at the moment.

I have really missed the old Barcelona.    I try to understand that they are rebuilding on the other hand. They haven't been consistent so far. Their look in the previous season was much better at least in the La Liga. The only positive news is that they have qualified for last 16 this time by doing better in the group stage.

Especially after this huge loss vs Villarreal more people must have realized the huge weakness in defense this season. Their vulnerability is costing them too much and Napoli could also score many goals against them like this.

Napoli is better than Barcelona, Napoli only conceded with one goal when they play without their main goalkeeper and defenders, but Napoli's substitutes players can play very well. Sooner or later Barcelona will become a weak club, it will start from Xavi left the club, they will be forced to sell their good players and build a new club with unknown players.

If Barcelona insist to keep their good players, the players will need to accept salary cuts.

The Champions League equation is getting tougher for Barcelona. Despite Barcelona being a big team and a big team, this team is currently losing most of their matches in La Liga or Champions League.

There are many reasons behind Barcelona's poor performance but the most notable reason is that both Barcelona's defense and midfield are weak. Barcelona is not able to perform well in big matches due to weak defense and midfield.

I think what happened in the past doesn't have any influence, it's true that Barcelona is a big team in Europe, but this season their performance is quite poor.
From what happened in the La Liga match, we can predict that they will not be able to do much more on the Champions League stage because what is left in the UCL at the moment is the best team and in terms of quality, most of Europe's top teams are currently far above Barcelona.

That's now true. Once the club faced terrible results in the previous games and this will be also affecting the mentality from the players as well. This is giving a very big impact to the performance from the club. it's wrong to call that if what happened in the past was not influencing the performance from the club.

Look at what happened to the barcelona. The club's performance is being negatively influenced by the snowball effect that has carried over from previous games. This proves that if barcelona is not in a good shape. People were fully aware that barcelona has been making some mistakes.

It was also decreasing the mentality of the players, this is also the main reason barcelona was always bottling any games. Xavi is confusing how to fix the problem faced by barcelona this time. it's likely that barcelona will be trying so hard to win the upcoming game.

The club may face significant negative consequences due to Xavi's announcement about his departure at the end of the season. Xavi is so stupid by saying it at the middle of season. He can do it later once barcelona will be closer to the end of season.

He thinks that fans would be seeing their empathy to him but so many people were blaming him.

We can say that the two teams are not much different, both became champions in their respective leagues last season and it also looks like they will both fail to maintain it this season because there is a significant decline in both, the only difference is that Barcelona is in financial difficulties while Napoli is not.
The problem with this is that issues like this can really weaken players' motivation in future Champions League matches.
For the first meeting, Napoli looks like they have a chance to win and they should be able to take advantage of that well, and in the first match their main striker is thought to have returned to the club so that there is more opportunity to win, especially seeing how Barcelona was defeated with a landslide score at home and that is increasing Barcelona's doubts even more in the champions league.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona continues to amaze, so just in case, I’ll record the current quotes for the first game (Napoli - Barcelona):

2.72 - 3.58 - 2.35

Barcelona is the favorite even away  Easy bet on Napoli!
For some reason I can’t find quotes for the outcome “who qualifies in 1/4” - it would be interesting to look at the opinion of bookmakers, if anyone has information, please share. Maybe bookmakers still don’t understand anything about this pair and that’s why they don’t publish quotes?

Maybe coz we expected too much from them. Lovin Barcelona came and all happened when people started watching Lionel Messi from r Barcelona.
In conclusion, he brought all of them fans you have out, you feel me??. Even with how they've already disgraced themselves today they still failed to secure three points in the game today.

Napoli are not so good but hell in Christ name are they  not doing alone they'd have the chance to finally win the game against Barcelona sincd  they're not much of a side that gives threat to powerful people.

Barcelona is a big brand -> fans place bets on their favorite club + on the brand -> bookmakers take into account cash flow, so often the quotes are greatly distorted relative to the real strength of the teams.
Napoli is also in crisis, but now it’s definitely not an acute phase (unlike Barcelona), in general it will be a random game of two underdogs (haha). If Napoli were the favorite, I would most likely consider it profitable to bet on Barcelona, but since Barcelona is the favorite, then I think it’s better to bet on Napoli.

Nothing special from this thing my friend. Im feeling so happy with the performance from barcelona caused by it was able qualifying to the last 16. It's better rather than out from UCL during the group stage. I remind you that if barcelona got the easiest route to qualify for 16. The club is still playing so poorly and barcelona may be out from UCL soon.
Napoli is going to be the next opponent for barcelona and this match will be far harder compared to the group stage. Napoli can use this as a way to measure the performance from the club. We will be seeing very important match between napoli and barcelona soon. I personally hope barcelona to be lost against napoli.

Barcelona looked like a very weak team. Xavi has been also destroying the mentality from his player. he was making inappropriate announcement regarding the future of his career too early. He didn't even understand if it will be also affectingthe mentality from the players.

Especially after this huge loss vs Villarreal more people must have realized the huge weakness in defense this season. Their vulnerability is costing them too much and Napoli could also score many goals against them like this.

Napoli is also weak enough in the serie a. These clubs were performing so poorly on their own local league. There's no need to feel worry about that. it's caused by napoli is going to kick barcelona out from UCL. It will be another hard time for barcelona to fight against serie a club. I don't know why but serie a has always become a nightmare for barcelona.
The match against villarela has proven that if barcelona is a weak club this time. It can't even get back its winning mentality. It's another setback for the club.

[Xxmodded]

I'm worried about Barcelona's recent performance. They dominated La Liga, but now? Not so much. A 5-3 loss to Villareal at Camp Nou indicates a problem. This appears to be a deeper issue than a difficult patch

First, their defense is failing. If Villareal can get through so easily, imagine what Napoli will do in the Champions League. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but if Xavi Hernandez can't fix their defense, I'm worried about their UCL chances. With Xavi leaving next season, the players may lose mental and tactical grip. Not good, in my opinion

Barcelona players mentality seems down after two losses in a row and they have accepted bad announcement Xavi Hernandez will leaves his position at the end this season. Huge pressure from fans make Barcelona difficult recovery to promising performance after losing from Athletic Bilbao in Copa del Rey and have got second losses without one week from Villareal in La Liga match. I worried with Barcelona defense for facing Napoli in Champion League match round 16 two weeks later, have conceded many goals how possibility against Napoli with Victor Osimhen as best attacking line.
Left two week before Champion League knock out round match, Xavi Hernandez have looking for other alternative how to make solid with defense performance, bad start have conceded many goals in La Liga for facing Napoli in Champion League.

If Barcelona insist to keep their good players, the players will need to accept salary cuts.

Napoli are better in which or what way? Have you taken a good look at the points they've both accumulated this season? If we're to judge them both from the domestic league games and points gained ( Even if they're not of the same league Competitions ) they was both two league winners from last season who won them league Competition and also the title. This season they're struggling but Barcelona are ins a better place to qualify for the Champions League Competition than that of Napoli who are also twenty points behind the league leaders.

Judging from them both, I'd be stupid to say that Barcelona is a worse team. Yes they be declining but do not match them up for a comparison with Napoli.
