UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Google+]

It took Manchester City some failures and some lessons to be learnt, some loses during the Champions League finals which happened severally or should I just say twice? Against Chelsea in the finals and also against Real Madrid quarter finals?
Finally, last season it paid off, they have what it takes to assemble a good squad, a good coaching staffs and also the management and fans to back them. Best believe in the next two years they'll make up something good!!

Luis Enrique already has experience with this Champions League Competition. If the right players are assembled they could makeup a competitive squad to challenge for the Champions League gradually.

In fact, Manchester City is quite patient with Pep Guardiola so that Pep Guardiola is gradually being able to polish the Manchester City squad to become stronger. Management's patience to see Manchester City become mighty in Europe has been successfully realized by Pep in the previous season who was able to bring the treble winner as a result of their patience and also hard they are.
For this reason, a team that wants to achieve success in their targets of course must learn from what Manchester City has done. Even this season, Manchester City is still quite the favorite to win the title again.

Manchester City strength looks very strong in every line because the players trained by Pep Guardiola have a strong enough mentality to continue trying to achieve their targets. If you look at the failure experienced by PSG in the Champions League, of course they have to learn from what Manchester City did by being patient and giving the coach a long time to build the squad. This season there are many teams that are quite strong, such as Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but Manchester City, as the defending champion, will of course try to defend their title.

I agree that Arsenal squad this season is better than the last season. However, Arsenal strikers performed worse this season, Gabriel Jesus even only could score 4 goals from 17 matches in EPL. But he looks better in UCL, he scored 4 goals from 5 matches in UCL. I really expect Gabriel Jesus can maintain the good performance in UCL.

I don't know about Arsenal finance, but it looks good because they could sign an expensive player like Declan Rice. Arsenal midfield line have a great progress, it is stronger than the previous season. The current problem of Arsenal is the inconsistency of their attackers. If Arteta wants to play in the final of UCL, he must ensure that there is a good progress in Arsenal attacking. They must increase the productivity in scoring goals.

It's a serious concern about the striking department, particularly with Gabriel Jesus struggling to replicate his form from the previous season in the Premier League. While Jesus has demonstrated better performance in the UEFA Champions League, scoring four goals in five matches, consistency in the domestic league is crucial for Arsenal's success. The emphasis on increasing productivity in goal-scoring is valid, and Arteta will need to address the inconsistency among the attackers to ensure a strong push, especially if they aim to reach the final of the UCL.

Maintaining the positive trajectory of the midfield progress and finding a solution to the attacking inconsistency will be key factors for Arsenal's success in various competitions. The signing of Declan Rice suggests financial stability, but strategic decisions in player management and tactics will play a vital role in achieving the desired results.

In my opinion, Barcelona and Napoli have the same percentage of being able to beat each other because so far both teams are at a very low level in their domestic leagues and in terms of team quality we can also see that the two of them do not have a significant difference.

In fact, this is quite a fierce match because both teams are in a slump, so in terms of strength the two teams are quite balanced so it is difficult to predict who will win the match.

In knockout matches like this, the team that is in better form at the time of play can win, regardless of their previous form. The next factor to consider is the home field. In this regard, Spanish teams have more difficulties when playing on the Italian team's field. I believe that the news of Xavi leaving will more or less affect the psychology of Barca players, but with his professionalism, I believe Xavi will still be determined to lead Barca to good results in the UCL.
Napoli are also having their problems as key player Osimhen continuously hinted about leaving, along with many uncertainties in the squad under new coach Walter Mazzarri. The opportunities will be divided equally for both, I think the team that takes advantage of home field advantage better will win the final.

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.

Every big team, after a period of glory, falls into crisis and difficulties, not just Barca. No one can stay at the peak of glory forever. Many other big teams are also struggling with their own glory in the past such as MU, Chelsea... Barca is still much better than other big names that had to stop in the UCL group stage.

Not only on the front line, but in almost all areas, Arsenal sometimes does not show good performance, so if we look at Arsenal as a whole, Arsenal's problem this season is still the same as last season, namely their inconsistency.
This is also the case for Gabriel Jesus, he cannot perform optimally if he does not have strong support from his teammates.

It is difficult to predict Arsenal because in terms of strength they are quite capable and in the last few weeks we can see that Arsenal has returned to top performance and that is quite positive for those who will be facing the ULC round of 16 match.

[Hirose UK]

UCL matches will start in mid-February, exactly in two weeks and we will see each team fighting each other in this knockout round which will compete twice.
We will see whether the big team that are predicted to qualify can actually win each match or not.

Arsenal themselves will have schedule to meet Porto and the 1st leg match will take place at the Stadio do Dragao which is Porto home ground.
Porto itself is one of the strong team in the Portuguese League and of course this is tough challenge for Arsenal, Arsenal only chance is in the 2nd leg match where they are the hosts.

Arsenal line-up looks quite good lately, but in the upcoming UCL competition I not sure Arsenal can play well because the stability of their game tends to change.
There is no stability and consistency that all Arsenal players have.

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.

We won't truly know how someone feels if we aren't in their shoes. Therefore, Xavi's announcement that he will leave Barca at the end of the season has already been thought through carefully. With Xavi's position, he clearly understands how his actions will affect the team, but the team's internal affairs and decisions from the team's leadership are things we do not know. What we know is only information that has been released in the press.
Let's look at Klopp, he also just announced that he will leave Liverpool right at the time of preparing for the 1/16 UCL series, obviously that is a statement that has a negative impact on team spirit at the moment, but why? Why does he still do that? Is he as stupid as Xavi like you said? I don't think so.

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 believe that with their current situation, Arsenal will not dare to underestimate any opponent, especially Porto. This is an extremely annoying team in the UCL, Arsenal is only better than Porto with 1 win in the history of confrontation between the two teams. If Arsenal has good results at Porto's home field, I believe that the next ticket will definitely be in their hands.

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.

The match against osassuna was so hard for barcelona to win the game. I meant that barcelona performing even worst. We do know that how bad the performance from osassuna and barcelona is not able winning the game against it easily. Look at the stats and it's not surprising me to call that if barcelona was not the favorite to win la liga.
Barcelona made 16 shoots and only 4 shoots were on target. It was showing that how barcelona doesn't have good accuracy on its attacking line this is quite embarassing for the club. It's caused by the quality owned by barcelona is very different compared to the osassuna at this time.

Barcelona should able to perform better in the upcoming game. The poor performance has been making xavi to leave from the club. Barcelona is now declining so hard. It doesn't have good performance like last season. Im very disappointed to see how barcelona is degrading a lot.
It must be pointed out that if some players are starting to leaving from their peak performance just like what lewandowski did. He has been top scorer last season but it's not at this moment. The main weakness of barcelona was facing the defending club.
That's what other clubs tried to implement. there no problem with it. As long as real madrid win the game and take the trophy this season. Just try to learn what the weakness point from your opponent. that will help you a lot to win the game.

Manchester City has solid composition between their main and reserve players, in phase group matches Pep Guardiola losses many main players but its not problem for him how the same level with reserve players and The Citizen easily manage group standings position. I think has opportunity for Manchester City for defending their UEFA Champion League tittle in this season but depend on drawing match schedule on quarter final until semifinal round.

Manchester City should not be scared of any draw now since they have all the players they need, for them to defend their Champions League title this season, they should be able to take any team been given to them since all their main players are back and fit. Just the way the Citizens are fully fit, other teams are fit and ready for the battle as well, and I am very sure that the Citizens will not find it easy to defend the title because Real Madrid and other clubs are also fit and have the quality to win the Champions League title as well. I am not supporting them to win because I am confident that they will not win the Champions League this season.

I doubt with Bayern Munich performance in Champion League this season, seems less opportunity for winning Champion League actually after looking their inconsistency performance in Bundesliga. Has easy opponent team in 16 round against Lazio but doubt chance for Bayern when facing Man City or Real Madrid in quarter final or semifinal round.

Bayern Munich's performance is not consistent this season, they are yet to overtake Bayern Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title challenge; with this, I also don't think they can win the Champions League. I am counting on some teams like Arsenal, Real Madrid, PSG, and Inter Milan because they are all on form and can do something reasonable more than Bayern Munich this season.

Man City does have the best preparation of players compared to other teams. Even when Haaland is injured, we can see Man City is still a strong team and difficult to beat. And this is indeed due to their second-tier players who are also as good as their main players.

There is no doubt that Man City will make it to the final. But I am still not sure whether they can lift the UCL trophy again or not this season. Because I see Real Madrid this season is also a more solid team than last season. So it can be a difficult opponent for Man City. While Bayern they do sometimes lose points in the Bundesliga but I still see they also have a chance although not as big as the chances of Man City and Real Madrid.

Last season Gabriel Jesus was able to score 11 goals in 26 matches but only played in the Premier League, but this season Gabriel Jesus has scored 8 goals in 22 matches in all competitions and has contributed 8 assists. In my opinion, Gabriel Jesus' performance is still the same, just less productive in Domestic league because of the tight schedule he plays, maybe if he only plays in the Premier League Gabriel Jesus' performance will still be the same, Arteta really needs to improve Gabiriel's performance so he is more productive in the domestic league so he can increase Arsenal's attack in competing in the main competition and also the Champions League because of the season Arsenal have a tough task to be successful in these 2 big competitions.

Even though Arsenal doesn't have financial problems, it turns out Arsenal didn't buy the players they needed in the second half of this season, even though I hope Arsenal can recruit Mbappe to improve their attack in all competitions because Mbappe is very aggressive in doing what the club needs in terms of attack.

I think has opportunity for Manchester City for defending their UEFA Champion League tittle in this season but depend on drawing match schedule on quarter final until semifinal round.

I could not agree more with this caused by manchester city is the most balanced club in the world. The qualify of secondary squads were almost the same or even close to the main squad. Pep took yaers to build this and im sure that if so many city fans were also aware about this. No doubt that if manchester city being called as the best team in the world after it was winning many trophies last season. The domination from manchester city will continue consider that some key players will be coming back agains oon. I have heard that if haaland will be ready to comeback again as soon as possible. This amazing striker will ber eady to strengthen the club.

I doubt with Bayern Munich performance in Champion League this season, seems less opportunity for winning Champion League actually after looking their inconsistency performance in Bundesliga. Has easy opponent team in 16 round against Lazio but doubt chance for Bayern when facing Man City or Real Madrid in quarter final or semifinal round.

Bayern munich was struggling in the bundesliga and it was not in the same level as leverkusen which has become bayern munich's main competitor in the bundesliga. I would rather than try to pick madrid instead of bayern leverkusen in this match. It's caused by leverkusen is performing better than bayern munich in the domestic league.
Bayern munich have been getting easy route and it's hard to measure how strong bayern munich is now. Madrid and manchester city are still becoming my favorite clubs to win the champion league this season.

I would prefer to pick intermilan to be the most favorite after city and madrid instead of bayern munich.

Even though Arsenal doesn't have financial problems, it turns out Arsenal didn't buy the players they needed in the second half of this season, even though I hope Arsenal can recruit Mbappe to improve their attack in all competitions because Mbappe is very aggressive in doing what the club needs in terms of attack.

Without having to buy players in the transfer market in the middle of this season, Arsenal has become one of the clubs that has spent quite a lot of money this season in the transfer market, at least they have spent around 234 million euros.
Maybe it's not a problem for Arsenal to buy Mbappe, but does Mbappe want to be a player at Arsenal and I don't mean to demean Arsenal, but they are not a special team, even in their local competition, they are now starting to decline, and I'm sure Real Madrid remains his main destination if he has to leave PSG or he will stay at that club until the end of his career because only that club is willing to pay very high salaries every season.
If Mbappe wants to get a title in a European competition, especially the Champions League, then Arsenal is not suitable for that, there are other clubs that have better statistics in the Champions League, such as Manchester City, if he doesn't go to Real Madrid.

[Obari]

I will be looking forward to watching what Leverkusen will be eble to do in the champions league next season,they've been able to get my attention this season with their superb performances and their desire in front of goal.Their performance this season even shocked Bayern who are used to winning the German Bundesliga.But Xabi Alonso came and has been doing an extraordinary work in that team.Next season,they will be in the champions league,and with this energy and mumentum,they can go on to get to either the Semi final or finals of the champions league. My eyes are on them,because I've played my bet on them  winning the  league this season.

The City squad is enviable. It shows their preparation and depth that they've kept their performance high even without key players. Guardiola's team succeeds on teamwork rather than individual skill. The goal is to dominate, not merely compete. They remain Champions League favorites after their key players return.

Real Madrid's history and ability to win big games pose a threat. Bayern Munich shouldnt be dismissed either. Champions League football differs from Bundesliga football despite troubles. Given recent performance dips, their path to greatness may be harder, but rejecting their lineage may be hasty. Football is full of shocks, and knockout stages create and break legends.

It will be a problem if erling haland is injured. because when haland is injured manchester city's creativity and productivity in scoring goals is greatly reduced. if the opponent is a weak team it will not be a problem. if the opponent is a strong team like real madrid or bayern munchen difficulty scoring goals will be very dangerous because the opponent will be able to frontal attack if manchester city's attack power is weakened if haland is not played.

Many other big teams are also struggling with their own glory in the past such as MU, Chelsea... Barca is still much better than other big names that had to stop in the UCL group stage.

Overall, this fact is true and I also cannot avoid other facts, even though Manchester United and Chelsea have abundant budgets to buy players, they are still inferior to Barcelona, which has a limited budget or has even experienced a financial crisis so far. Maybe if we talk about success, one of them depends on how the management of a club can process it well and here the proof is that Barcelona, after 2 seasons of failing to advance to the round of 16, but this time they have qualified for this phase.

The need to maintain the credibility of a team and everything is not only about the money they have and maybe if Barcelona had good finances from last season until now they would be more promising in the Champions League competition. But sometimes there are things that are difficult to maintain, such as Barcelona's current performance and maybe that is Barcelona's main focus so that they can play better in the round of 16.

[Coyster]

Next season,they will be in the champions league,and with this energy and mumentum,they can go on to get to either the Semi final or finals of the champions league. My eyes are on them,because I've played my bet on them  winning the  league this season.

Lol, this is such a bold prediction and so early too. Bayern Leverkusen have been wonderful this season, but you are not even certain if they will win the Bundesliga this season and you are already predicting that they will get to the CL final next season, this is not something i see happening. Remember last season when we all thought Dortmund would win the league, but Bayern Munich ended up winning it, that could happen again this season in the Bundesliga.

I don't think if Arsenal even needs to spend money to buy more players because they are currently in a situation in which they have many superstars and good players in this team and the current squad of Arsenal is not bad at all.
In the premier league, they are having a hard race with Liverpool and Manchester City and in the Champions League, they should play against Porto and I think Arsenal has good enough power to beat Proto and be in the next stage of the Champions League.

[makishart]

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.

But he looks better in UCL, he scored 4 goals from 5 matches in UCL. I really expect Gabriel Jesus can maintain the good performance in UCL.

Statiscially arsenal is not good enough compared to the last season. Arsenal was able topping EPL till week 33 while this time it's struggling against manchester city and liverpoo. It was a setback compared to the last season when arsenal was always winning any game till the middle of season.
Jesus is not yet performing good at this moment and i think this is going to be another setback for arsenal. The club needs to perform even better. Manchester city and liverpool are going back to the its best performance again.
Arsenal may be trophy less again this season caused by it will unable to compete with manchester city and liverpool.

Kroenke has spent a lot of money in the summer transfer season and arteta was not willing to buy the new player till the next summer transfer season to come. Arsenal is financially fine under the new owner and arteta got a bunch of money to strengthen the club.
This time arteta was only focusing on how to make the club becomes even stronger than before. Im feeling quite happy by seeing arsenal is always entering into the top 3 but the club needs to strengthen its winning mentality.
Arteta needs also to strengthen the attacking line caused by sometimes it performs so poorly.

[Oluwa-btc]

What do you think?

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.

Yeah Man, they had them very best season simce they last won the Premier League Competition exactly twenty years and they failed to graph the competition and tittle due to lack of depth.
They've brought some good names also in but I can't believe they failed to make addition during this January Transfer Window. They had some levels of difficulties with the central forward converting chances and the same to the midfielder's supporting Declan Rice who seem like the most important player for them.

They need to sign up a midfied to replace Thomas Partey who can support Declan Rice amd also they should make moves to sign Ivan Toney who can score 20 goals and more for them.
It'll be a great Champions League Competition and I'm sure as hell, Porto would not let em have a good game to play.
