UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[QueenVera]

Xavi has very big burden right now. It makes him announced that to leave from barcelona at the end of season. that being said that if xavi has surrender by announcing him to leave from the club at the end of season. This is the last chance of him to prove that his worthiness for the club.
Barcelona is still having a chance in the UCL but i m thinking this is impossible for xavi to win the game. neither of them in good shapes this time but i would like to pick napoli over barcelona. The odds owned by napoli is worthy to bet while barcelona is slightly lower compared to the napoli's odds.

Im sure that btts is going to happen. It's caused by napoli would be trying so hard to beat barcelona no matter what happened to the club. It's caused by this is gonna be another chance for napoli to go to the further stage. Im feeling that if barcelona will not able to show good performance.
The result from this match is quite hard to predict caused by i saw these clubs were equal. Im not willing to pick which club that much more favorite to win the game but im only saying napoli is strong enough and barcelona must be so careful against it.

Im wondering what line up will be gonna be used by xavi in the match against napoli. Btts and double chance. These are the most reliable options for this match. It's caused by the strength owned by both of clubs are almost the same.

Xavi is having a bad time at Barcelona and this has put him under massive pressure and that’s why he’s announced his departure. Barcelona as a team are under FFP margin lines and this has made them not able to make the massive signings they’ll love to make to cchange things at the club and this is very bad that Xavi is the one heading and has to suffer this fate at this time. Now he’s got one last go in the European competition and in the UCL round of 16, he’ll face Serie A champions, Napoil who’re also doing poorly. But I’ll still rate Napoil to dump Barca out of the UCL because they’ve got a more organized squad than Barcelona at the moment.

 Yeah BTTS to score will probably happen at both legs coz they’ll both be eager to qualify and I think Napoil will have the win at their ground as against going to Camp Nou to get a draw and qualify to the last 8. Double Chancing on Napoli for both legs is quite one safe bet to have for this fixture. I’m wondering how Xavi with his current squad will be able to keep up with this fixture, coz Napoli are really good in Europe.

Xavi Hernandez have made final decision leaves Barcelona at the end of this season, its very bad news remember with Barcelona achieving last three years under Xavi have won La Liga tittle and Barcelona for the first time in last two season a row qualify to knock out round in Champion League. Barcelona opportunity for winning Champion League tittles still not close yet have to face Napoli on knock out round and Xavi Hernandez will give the best achieving before leaving his position.

Left two weeks before facing Napoli in Champion League, Barcelona have bad trend in La Liga and Copa del Rey after losing two matches and i arow and seems Xavi Hernandez won't their team bring bad capital against Napoli exactly first leg with away match. Its heavy looking how Barcelona performance last several matches and Xavi Hernandez must optimistic for winning above two goals in the first leg to make easily match on second leg when Barcelona will be the host.

Arsenal are in the Champions League after the last time they joined it - 2016/17 season. It must be a really exciting run for the team and fans both so far.    They were lucky to have a comfortable group draw also and their luck hasn't run out yet. Because they have drawn Porto in this round you know. What do you think?

I'm expecting a decent performance from Arsenal. Porto struggled against Barcelona in the group stage. I think Arsenal are in much better condition than Barcelona now. Arteta's system has been working smoothly and Arsenal should be able to reach the quarter finals. Porto are strong in the Liga Portugal but not so much in the Champions League. 

[makishart]

The betting market favors Barcelona because Napoli is also experiencing the same problem, up to now Napoli has not found its best performance and the problems faced by Napoli are slightly different from Barcelona.
The team coached by Xavi Hernandez this season experienced many problems which resulted in their performance declining and being inconsistent, especially the injury problems which many Barcelona players experienced which made it difficult for Xavi to maintain the Barcelona team's best performance.

So for the possibility of Barcelona or Napoli beating each other in the last 16 of the Champions League this season, I think it is still quite balanced because currently both teams are quite equal in strength.

The teams have different problems, Napoli cannot find their game because they were left without Spalletti, after that everything changed and the team became completely different. And Barecelona is faced with the problem of injured players, and the losses are very significant for the team, I’m almost sure that Barcelona will stop conceding so many goals as soon as Ter Stegen returns to the team.

So true but barcelona is also in the same condition as napoli. The club is struggling to find the best form again, and it is also happening to the barcelona. As you can see that if barcelona has more problem compared to the napoli. napoli is not having spalletti, but the club is still having good financial compared to the barcelona which was having never ending problem with the financial issue faced by the club. The financial issue is just like a snowball that is going even bigger than before. Napoli is as strong as barcelona and i think that there will be a very competitive match between barcelona and napoli.

Napoli will try to give its best against barcelona. It's caused by we know that the main weakness from barcelona was a parking bus strategy and xavi is also still using old philo of football. This can give napoli advantage by playing defensively against it.

Xavi can be understood, it is difficult for him to work under constant pressure, not every coach could withstand it. Maybe everything will work out, it just takes time. And if we compare Napoli and Barcelona, it seems to me that Barca is still stronger, especially since Ter Stegen should return for the match with Napoli.

The stupid decision has been made by xavi to announce his step down from the club at the end of season. It will be obviously disrupt the mentality of the club as well. I can't even put some respects to this guy caused by xavi is not even making his club to have better vibes before the game will be starting at the middle of season.
It was also urging the players to use everything they have to save xavi from being replaced by a new coach at the end of season. Xavi was also explaining what he feels now to the journalisy, and he said that if he was a worthless coach.

It must be a really exciting run for the team and fans both so far.    They were lucky to have a comfortable group draw also and their luck hasn't run out yet. Because they have drawn Porto in this round you know. What do you think?

I'm expecting a decent performance from Arsenal. Porto struggled against Barcelona in the group stage. I think Arsenal are in much better condition than Barcelona now. Arteta's system has been working smoothly and Arsenal should be able to reach the quarter finals. Porto are strong in the Liga Portugal but not so much in the Champions League. 

Arsenal have been waiting for the big stage of the Champions League for so long and they have failed to make it happen in recent years. Since being handled by Mikel Arteta, everything has become more convincing and Arsenal's philosophy of always using talented young players in their squad has also been continued to this day since the Arsene Wenger era. The match against Porto will certainly be a turning point for Arsenal's performance in this competition and if the Gunners succeed in bringing back the representative from Portugal then they can secure a ticket to the quarterfinals.

But it won't be easy and Porto is currently performing quite well in the domestic league, so the current assessment is just speculative. However, overall Arsenal are still above Porto and maybe we will see something different from this match later. Arsenal experienced a gloomy period some time ago and they proved that they are still capable of this competition by returning to winning ways in the domestic league. It's definitely an exciting match and I hope Arsenal don't underestimate Porto.

I'm highly disappointed in Barcelona this season, missing the old days when Barcelona was a big threat in any league they qualified.
Xavi may not be the problem of the club on why their progress is limited, the players have a poor performance, poor goal scoring and nothing so interesting about their play.
Real Madrid and Man city are the beast of the league with stats of 6 games played, 6 won, 0 draw and 0 loss. Very brilliant performance from them both and I see the winners coming from any of them.

Barcelona performance doesn't follow suit in for Real Madrid and Girona this season. The problem of the club, ofcourse it's not Xavi Hernandez but points out to be the players and the board that have ruined the good flow of energy. Now the club's suffered from big loss, and this scenario will continue till the board worked on this problem. I also miss the good old days when Barcelona was the main trend in every competition they featured in. You wouldn't dare compare the performance of Barcelona to any other club, not even Real Madrid, they didn't have a style of play against the Blaugrana and always plays safe and defend.

Barcelona's current problem revolves around their financial situation and they are struggling to find a solution. Xavi is forced to work with the players that are currently available to him, as there is no opportunity to purchase a talented player in order to strengthen the club. Some players are performing so badly like lewandowski. No doubt that if barcelona's performance has been declining a lot caused by this. Barcelona will be also losing xavi at the end of season.
I remind you that if felix, pedri, cancelo will leave from the club at the end of season and the club has no good player left in the squad anymore. THe upcoming season is going to be another disaster for barcelona and im wondering who will become the next coach for this club.

Barcelona is lack of money to buy the new player and this will make the new coach to have bigger burden given by the club. People shall not expect something big to come from this club. Barcelona is not the same like what it used to be. There have been many things happened to this club.
It was also disrupting the performance from barcelona as well. I can't imagine barcelona next season. There will be a lot of things to happen with barcelona. Im also removing this one from the strongest candidate to get the la liga title this season.

Im feeling if barcelona will be also out from UCL too caused by napoli will able to beat it. Barcelona is not having strong defenders and it was making other clubs very easy to scornig against barcelona. The club is not in a good condition right now.

Mikel Arteta's squad has developed rapidly since last season.
Their financial resources have allowed them to buy the best players at the highest level.
Arsenal are more mature and solid now, but Arsenal have still conceded a silly goal. That has to stop.
Porto themselves are used to playing in this competition because they play in the Champions League every year and are known as a team that can often spring a surprise in the Champions League.
And yeah, this game will be very competitive, and all the fans will enjoy every moment.

From what has been seen this season, it is true that Arsenal is more solid than last season in terms of strength, but I also agree with what you say that Arsenal must be able to handle conceding ridiculous goals in every important match. And in the Champions League, all rounds must always be considered important by any team if they still have the desire to get the Champions League trophy this season so that the match is quite likely to be very competitive.

[QueenVera]

Even though PSG has great financial strength, it is still not enough to compete with big clubs in the Champions League, especially Real Madrid which has great strength in the Champions League competition. Manchester City also has great strength in terms of finances and also in terms of performance player and coach factors are the most important thing for clubs in building good cooperation. If they are not able to build good cooperation then they will not be able to achieve success in winning the title. Financial factors are not a problem for PSG, but they must have strong cooperation between players and coaches.

Yes, currently Barcelona's condition is different from last season, this season Barcelona seems to be having difficulty competing in the domestic league and also the Champions League because Barcelona's squad is decreasing and its performance is decreasing. Sooner or later if Barcelona's finances don't improve soon, it's not impossible that it will end up like Chelsea. Currently, the Premier League continues to experience setbacks, even though Chelsea was originally a big EPL club.
Luis Enrique is one step better than the previous coach but it cannot be said to be completely good if he cannot bring PSG to the Champions League title, even though it sounds impossible, PSG still has a chance because the squad that PSG has also has good potential if Luis Enrique hones their skills well good.

PSG need European success and the key to that is proper investment and evaluation of the team by the owners and coach because without evaluating the team they’ll keep placing responsibilities on the shoulders of a player and he could probably get tired soon from shouldering those responsibilities.

 They need to use their financial power to be able to get some better replacements for Mbappe incase he gets tired of playing for the club. They need to build a team with enough squad depth so as to be able to compete with clubs like Man City and Real Madrid. Financial state of a club is key and that’s what Barca is suffering at this point and it’s making their form decline daily even some EPL giants like Chelsea and Manchester United. Well PSG should use their finances to their advantage else they’ll keep being termed Local Champions.

Historically Porto is clearly better than Arsenal, because the Portuguese representatives have two UCL trophies in their cupboard while Arsenal have none. In terms of mentality, it is clear that Porto is better than Arsenal, but things have now changed and Arsenal has better bargaining power than Porto. Reasonably enough, Arsenal has better attributes and squad depth than Porto, Arteta spent big last summer. However, Arsenal and Porto are not favorites to win this season, because clubs like Madrid, Man City and Bayern have better strengths.

On paper, I'm pretty sure Arsenal can get through to the round of 16 by beating Porto, even though we realize that Porto is not a team that can be underestimated. In the group phase Arsenal suffered one defeat, while Porto experienced it twice, maybe this can be a reference if you want to bet on their match. So far Arsenal have been considered consistent in the EPL, and in my opinion they have a chance to reach the semi finals this season.

In the Champions League they must be able to minimize mistakes as small as possible, because the risk is that they will be eliminated. In the Premier League, maybe they can still improve in the next match, because they have more matches there, but here if they make a mistake they can be eliminated at any time, and it could be in this round.
Overall, each season they look more mature, but this is not without shortcomings and weaknesses, which they must correct as soon as possible. Last season they also experienced a situation where they had to be removed from the championship competition because they were declining. This season they also showed the same signs. Maybe they still need time, but I think they should be able to learn from previous experiences.

So for the possibility of Barcelona or Napoli beating each other in the last 16 of the Champions League this season, I think it is still quite balanced because currently both teams are quite equal in strength.

The teams have different problems, Napoli cannot find their game because they were left without Spalletti, after that everything changed and the team became completely different. And Barecelona is faced with the problem of injured players, and the losses are very significant for the team, I’m almost sure that Barcelona will stop conceding so many goals as soon as Ter Stegen returns to the team.

Xavi can be understood, it is difficult for him to work under constant pressure, not every coach could withstand it. Maybe everything will work out, it just takes time. And if we compare Napoli and Barcelona, it seems to me that Barca is still stronger, especially since Ter Stegen should return for the match with Napoli.

No doubt Napoli is down from the grace just because of Spalletti who left this team after winning title, and now they have two coaches change but nothing positive happening with things are going the worst day by day but their Champions League performance were much better which allow them to stay at the better spot, but now things are completely different with they are going to face another struggling side which is better in quality from them, and they need to do harder job if they want to stay into this event with their current performance.

Barcelona is surely having other problems with their too many players injured, and they are not able to bring suitable replacements which can give them better results so now we have few days left who could be victorious it's big question which is looming around but nothing is predictable for anyone.

Arteta's system has been working smoothly and Arsenal should be able to reach the quarter finals. Porto are strong in the Liga Portugal but not so much in the Champions League. 

Obviously, Porto is not a weak team at all because after all, at least Porto also always plays in the Champions League every season . Therefore, it is clear that Porto is not a new team to compete in the knockout phase of the Champions League and thus, surely Porto will also be able to play well and can provide difficult resistance to Arsenal later. Indeed, because Arsenal play in the Premier League then that factor at least make Arsenal looks to have better quality compared to Porto. But still, the teams that play in the knockout phase of the Champions League will basically play in the best way and therefore, there is still no definite guarantee for Arsenal to qualify.

[el kaka22]

Everyone is too focused on the Napoli vs Barcelona game. However, if you are not certain about it, or if the public looks to be not certain about it, we could just look at other games as well. There are simpler games as well, like how City will play Copenhagen and I am expecting them to have an easy win on both games for that one.

Real Madrid is playing Leipzig and even though Leipzig is a good team, they are no match for Real Madrid so that should be an easy win for both games as well. PSG is playing Sociedad, and I would be shocked if there would be even a single goal by Sociedad in either game, so that one is quite easy as well. Bayern playing Lazio should be easy too. Arsenal in theory should be able to beat Porto too, but I have a small doubt about that one.

I agree with you that Arsenal do look solid this season but then they still don't possess the potential for the champions league if they are able to get pass the round of sixteen I personally will still doubt their ability to get to the quarter finals but then if they do it will be pretty much a good achievement in their side.

The pressure coming from Manchester city and Real Madrid is such that I don't see Arsenal been able to manage through the tournament that's if they get pass the quarter finals unto the semi finals and happen to meet either of Manchester city of Real Madrid. I know that the last time Manchester city met Arsenal in the premier league it was a tough one but they we had KDB absent but this time I'm sure the full squad will be on ground as guardiola will not be willing to risk anything at that stage of the league so he will most definitely go all in with the full squad having haland, doku and KDB.

Barcelona performance doesn't follow suit in for Real Madrid and Girona this season. The problem of the club, ofcourse it's not Xavi Hernandez but points out to be the players and the board that have ruined the good flow of energy. Now the club's suffered from big loss, and this scenario will continue till the board worked on this problem. I also miss the good old days when Barcelona was the main trend in every competition they featured in. You wouldn't dare compare the performance of Barcelona to any other club, not even Real Madrid, they didn't have a style of play against the Blaugrana and always plays safe and defend.

Yes, I I do not expect that if Barcelona continues to experience a downturn this season, they failed to win the title in the domestic competition, remaining competition the La Liga and also the UCL, but I doubt that Barcelona can win the title with their current performance and Xavi Hernamdez is not the only one who deserves to be blamed. , even though being a head coach has to carry a big responsibility regarding the team, Barcelona's main problem is financial and Xavi has done the best he can with the current condition of the team but unfortunately that alone is not enough. Xavi needs financial support to be able to improved the performance of Barcelona players.

As things are going into Barcelona they are having on and off the field issues which are preventing them from having better results as they are completely failed to bring new players due to financial issues which are surely worst for them just because of this all now Xavi Hernández is also announced he will leave the club at the end of this season because he is understanding how things will be gone in coming days but sadly no one can do anything because debit is very high, and their income is not as this which can give them relief so hopefully we will have something better for them with most chances they will keep their fourth spot in La Liga and chances are also high for them to go into last eight because Napoli is also on decline and things are going worst for them in this season which is surely ideal for the Barcelona to progress into next round of the Champions League.

Arsenal this season has indeed performed well in terms of player material with Porto. But don't celebrate too early because beating Porto won't be easy, they have also beaten Arsenal before at Porto's home ground. Apart from that, Porto has won the Champions League twice, Arsenal has never won, maybe this doesn't have much of an impact but for me this has an effect on the players' mentality.

So the round of 16 match, could be worse for Arsenal. I also wouldn't be surprised if Porto got an easy draw, so not an easy game. If Arsenal want to win this game they can't make silly mistakes like you say.

It seems I don't completely agree with your assumption. Arsenal are not better than last season even though they have actually qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League this season. You will definitely understand what I mean, or if not then pay attention to their record in the Premier League.

Arsenal's journey and struggle in the Champions League this season is of course very interesting. Arteta and his team will work hard to make progress and qualify for the next round. Qualifying for the quarter-finals or semi-finals is a good achievement for Arsenal, but I'm not sure they can make it to the final this season. Porto may not be a very strong opponent, but Porto also has the possibility to beat Arsenal.

[Dzwaafu11]

The performance of both teams is almost the same. Talking about the past history of Barcelona is not what we are needing; it clearly shows that the Barcelona defence is faulty and needs some attention. That might be a hope for Napoli to use that opportunity to score the game, but from observation, Barcelona are the old bees in the Champions League, and they have more experience than Napoli. Even though their performance is poor, I still think that they can beat Napoli in the game, or the game might end in a draw.

More effort will be seen in this game because Napoli will like to win and Barcelona won’t allow them to do that, so predicting this game cannot be done to me. But let's just wait and see who wins the game between the two teams.

Seriously, Barcelona's performance is poor this time around; they are currently not in good form, and you know that Napoli are in better shape than Napoli. Although Barcelona may claim to win the game, since they have more experienced players than Napoli, if we consider performance, then I think it will be a tough game for Barcelona given that their performance is not that good. Furthermore, the Barcelona defence is not good, so what do you think will happen in this game when their defence is weak? I believe Napoli will use their weak point to beat them; however, let’s wait and see how the game goes.

For me, I think this game will be easy to predict, and if I risk my money to predict this game, I’ll predict a draw because both teams are going to be very serious in this match.

This match will not be easy for either team because they are both top-tier teams with a strong competitive spirit; they will fight to the end before either can claim the victory. Even when it comes to small teams, Champions League games are always intriguing and competitive. Arsenal used to be the team that represented the Champions League year after year before they began to perform poorly and have been unable to qualify for the Champions League competition for quite some time. Porto has a lot of experience in the Champions League and has been dominating it from their end. The match is going to be a very tough one but I expect Arsenal to claim victory here which will depend on what they’ll play in this match when they meet.
