UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Jatiluhung]

We can't compare the current Inter Milan with what we saw from them in the last season especially in the Champions League because Inter Milan in the last Champions League was very much lucky and let's say they had usually games with weak teams while the other teams like Manchester City didn't have with luck. Maybe if Inter Milan was playing against stronger teams they couldn't even be in the final match and that's why I don't expect to see them in the final match like we saw in the last season from them.

It's true that the luck factor was also what allowed Inter Milan to reach the final last season. But I also can't forget how Inter Milan was able to match Man City's performance in the final. So I started to think that Inter Milan could get to the Final because of their fairly consistent performance in the UCL. And another factor is also due to luck because Inter Milan did not directly face strong teams like Real Madrid and Man City in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. But we also have to see that Inter Milan was in a difficult group for the group stage last season. Namely, Inter Milan is in the same group as Bayern and Barcelona. But Inter Milan can qualify quite well.

Maybe if Inter Milan was playing against stronger teams they couldn't even be in the final match and that's why I don't expect to see them in the final match like we saw in the last season from them.

It's quite unfortunate for these teams to fight and not winning matches, some elite teams got eliminated in group stage and this is the round of 16. What I will say is, don't expect much from your favorite team. We can't compare last season to this one for Inter Milan and Manchester City, the differences are broad enough for everyone of us to notice. Napoli lost to Manchester City in the UCL final despite the incredible form they found themselves, Luciano Spalleti was presence and took the big duty to ensure things works smoothly for the club.

Wait, since when napoli has entered into the final of UCL last season? Is not it intermilan? Am i wrong or what? I think that you were not focusing with the result of UCL last season. Napoli never ever entered into the final of UCL. I think that this is misleading caused by it's intermilan who had been entering into the final of last season.
The result from current season is still remain unpredictable, caused by there have been many clubs who did massive improvements in all of its line up. There are many clubs are doing massive improvements and this will make some candidates like PSG will have no chance to win UCL this season.
It's obviously very hard to predict which club that is gping to win the competition this season but i think that real madrid and manchester city are gonna be the team that will be winning UCL this season. There are so many factors that were supporting madrid and city to get UCL again.

Of course, they are teams which might not perform the best when it comes to performing in the domestic League. But they can almost always perform very well in the Champions League. Like Real Madrid. But that is an exception in my opinion. Just like Sevilla in the Europa League. So almost always it can be charged how a team is going to perform in the Champions League or the Europa League. Maybe there could be a little bit of a difference. But I think it can be almost accurately judged.

Well, sometimes there is a team that plays poorly in the domestic league but can play well and achieve the title in the European League. An example is Sevilla last season. But in the Champions League it seems that most teams that are able to advance further in the Champions League then usually they also play very well in their domestic league.

Eh sorry but Inter Milan last season they were not so good in the domestic league and they even struggled just to stay in the top 4 of the Serie A standings. But in the Champion League Inter Milan can play very well and even get to the final. although it must lose in the Final. But it's still a great achievement. While Man City they are always good wherever they play.

We can't compare the current Inter Milan with what we saw from them in the last season especially in the Champions League because Inter Milan in the last Champions League was very much lucky and let's say they had usually games with weak teams while the other teams like Manchester City didn't have with luck. Maybe if Inter Milan was playing against stronger teams they couldn't even be in the final match and that's why I don't expect to see them in the final match like we saw in the last season from them.

I think it's unfair to attribute Inter Milan's Champions League win to chance. In retrospect, they faced the "group of death," featuring Bayern Munich and Barcelona. They outperformed such difficult opponents due to tactical skill and teamwork, not luck. They were powerful.

Yes, Inter Milan's path this season seems more difficult, and Serie A performance may affect their Champions League campaign. To say they succeeded primarily because of lesser opponents understates their strategic efforts. Their stronger roster this season can compete with European titans like Manchester City and Real Madrid.

We have often discussed money and star players who are always attached to PSG's image and as we know they have started to improve little by little since last season. Now there is only the name Kylian Mbappe who is the star player at PSG and the rest are only filled with players with the same quality. Their chances of winning against Real Sociedad are still high and I cannot avoid the fact that PSG will still be able to win as long as Kylian Mbappe is not injured.

We know that Kylian Mbappe's role in the squad is very important and if he is absent, PSG will definitely be at a huge disadvantage and may have difficulty winning. Even though there are several names that can lift the team's confidence, they will not be as good as Kylian Mbappe who can give PSG a definite victory. Real Sociedad must be wary of Kylian Mbappe's movements, which are very difficult for any defender to stop.

This season PSG wants to change their image where previously they were always eager to create new Galacticos in Ligue 1 with star players who already had extraordinary achievements despite their age but they were always eager to do that in the last few seasons but now it seems that slowly it wants to be changed by looking for new potential with several young players especially this season when they released several players such as Sergio, Neymar and Messi they replaced with several young players such as Thuram, Asensio, Dembele and also Goncalo Ramos.
It was a bold move but it had to be done because they were expecting a new Galacticos strategy but with older players it wouldn't have a big impact. Although at the moment their changes are also still not too noticeable but if in the end they try to implement the strategy of young players combined with good coaching chemistry I think this could be good for them even though we don't expect too much for the Champions League.

For Asensio, he is actually one of the great players because with Real Madrid he has won the Champions League title 3 times, so for now he cannot be compared to the players you have mentioned. Maybe at Real Madrid it was its prime and at PSG only the ruins of its glory remained. It also appears that he is not the starting choice for Luis Enrique and is only a cover for players like Dembele.

Indeed, it is time for PSG to change their environment, not be surrounded by diamonds and they have to create their own diamonds so that they can be more organized in bigger competitions without having to rely on star players for roles. Everything requires a process for PSG and it is not easy for a team that was successful from the start because it had a rich owner and not because a team learns to build strength from history.

They have overcome many obstacles until they finally managed to reach the Champions League final last season. It was not luck, but at the end of last season, Inter Milan's performance improved quite rapidly and this has continued until now, Inter Milan is now very strong.
It must be admitted that Inter Milan is a team that should be taken into account in the title race, I think so and this season they have a high percentage of being able to do things like last season or even better.

The rate of teams dropping and qualifying still maintains stable equity. Last season was different, this season is new and we expects the very best from these UCL clubs. Manchester City denied Inter Milan the UEFA Champions trophy and this season comes with more expectations from other potential clubs. Inter Milan should be voted for potential clubs to lift the UCL trophy this season. Inter Milan performance are consider to be in good position, Simeone Inzaghi doing what is expected of him because he tends to be the top coach that doesn't relent in actions for his team.

I agree, Inter Milan are a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League title race this season. Overall if we compare their performance last season and this season, then I would say this season they look better and also more prepared. In Serie A, this season they have only tasted 1 defeat and in the Champions League their performance is also good, although they have to be in second place, but they only lost in goal productivity to Real Sociedad.
Last season, no one wanted to be in the final match, because many thought the match would be unbalanced or Inter Milan was not an ideal opponent for Manchester City. But this season they have shown great improvement.

The tough competition in the Champions League is a surprise from the teams that are not favorites. When we focus on the more experienced teams here such as Madrid, City and Bayern, we sometimes simply ignore teams like Inter Milan. It could be that this season they will repeat the history of last season, until they are able to enter the final round, there are only two teams in the final and they don't have to be filled by the favorite team, that the logical picture. It's not just Inter who can surprise, Arsenal and PSG also have good bargaining power, because they have good squad depth, both are also equally good at domestic level, I mean they are still on track to compete for trophies.

History, reputation and other statistics are useless when luck is not on their side, there are many other factors that influence each team chances of winning trophies such as player injuries. There is also another possibility, where each contestant can show a different performance from their domestic competition. Overall, Inter should deserve to be on the list of favorite teams this season, because their performance is indeed better than last season.

This season PSG wants to change their image where previously they were always eager to create new Galacticos in Ligue 1 with star players who already had extraordinary achievements despite their age but they were always eager to do that in the last few seasons but now it seems that slowly it wants to be changed by looking for new potential with several young players especially this season when they released several players such as Sergio, Neymar and Messi they replaced with several young players such as Thuram, Asensio, Dembele and also Goncalo Ramos.

Although at the moment their changes are also still not too noticeable but if in the end they try to implement the strategy of young players combined with good coaching chemistry I think this could be good for them even though we don't expect too much for the Champions League.

This type of experiment is not bad, but let's remember what Luis Enrique did in the World Cup in Qatar, where he took all the Barcelona players plus others who were young people without experience, where he did not take the toughest ones. They had a good experience and were attacking as defenders, he did not lead them because of their rivalry against Madrid, what he did was that they could not contain the players so that they would not do wrong, they allowed themselves to be won by the Japanese, Spain looked very bad, so sometimes this type of experiment of bringing out the best players, with more experience, is not good, because a player with experience knows what to do at a given time and how to react to different ways of doing things in the game, they know how they can score goals, they don't get stressed because there are 5 minutes left in the game, because they know that according to their experience they can score a goal.

Well then, now that PSG is doing this type of thing, they haven't Realized that they Have to rely only on them, because now Mbappé is Leaving, because it is a fact that he will leave, I don't know where, it's a mystery, Well, things are ruined for a PSG that has always been there doing things that can generate whatever is going to be better, and the other thing is that they are with Luis Enrique and since Luis Enrique likes to do that type of Experiments,  well, no It seems Strange to me that he does it, something that seems very reckless to me, but even so it is a matter of the sheikh fully trusting things as they are, I personally have always seen these attitudes from him, Personally I have never liked him. style of Luis Enruque, I can't Deny that he was a great player, a very good defender, but I think that as a coach, there is something that, but he must mature, if he doesn't like someone, he doesn't put him in, or take him out, like that. do it well.

Actually, for a change like this, in terms of the plan carried out, it is very good but the risk is still very large in the end.
PSG's scheme is not much different from what Madrid is doing now but the difference is that the quality of Madrid players is still very far above average in terms of differences besides that with this kind of scheme the actual factor of the coach is also important whether he can provide answers with what he does. Just as Ancelotti showed that with young players and the schemes run and the foresight of the coach in seeing the potential of the players actually it can be very good in terms of long-term progress but can Enrique do this I think it is still a big question mark.

As you said before Enrique did the same thing in the Spanish national team but it didn't go well and until now at PSG too it still hasn't given a decent answer just a little helped by Mbappe's excellent performance.

[Strongkored]

When PSG had the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, their only mistake was not playing with team cohesion, in fact more and more star players were being selfish. This season's PSG squad can be said to be good because it has the attacking trio of Lw Mbappe, St Rmos and Rw Dembele. Indeed, in the group phase, PSG was helped by the difference in points. In fact, PSG is not afraid of any team in Europe, it's just that PSG often makes mistakes that are detrimental to themselves. They did this against Newcastle and Dortmund in the group phase.

In fact, when the owner of PSG brought several stars to his club, it was just a quick way that he wanted to take because of his frustration that the club had not succeeded in becoming a team that taken into account in the Champions League because it always failed, but it was proven that the quick way of building a team would not work because the money had  spent not been able to turn his team into one of the strongest in this tightest competition, and now starting to change by buying players who have the potential to last a long time at the club to build a more compact team but of course it takes time to finally achieve what is expected.

In the first leg of the round of 16, PSG must not make similar mistakes that cost them points, especially as PSG has a history of obstructing UCL matches. Besides, Real Sociedad will beat PSG if they don't take it seriously. So if PSG wants to qualify from the round of 16, PSG needs good results at home to have a chance. Because, Real Sociedad will usually easily win the second leg at home.

Of course PSG will be serious in every match but often unexpected things happen but they should be able to anticipate these things well and if in the 16th round they don't qualify then that will be very bad for PSG, and maybe at the start of the new season there will be changes in the team again because of the unsatisfactory results.

We can't compare the current Inter Milan with what we saw from them in the last season especially in the Champions League because Inter Milan in the last Champions League was very much lucky and let's say they had usually games with weak teams while the other teams like Manchester City didn't have with luck. Maybe if Inter Milan was playing against stronger teams they couldn't even be in the final match and that's why I don't expect to see them in the final match like we saw in the last season from them.

It's true that the luck factor was also what allowed Inter Milan to reach the final last season. But I also can't forget how Inter Milan was able to match Man City's performance in the final. So I started to think that Inter Milan could get to the Final because of their fairly consistent performance in the UCL.

But we also have to see that Inter Milan was in a difficult group for the group stage last season. Namely, Inter Milan is in the same group as Bayern and Barcelona. But Inter Milan can qualify quite well.

I am not an Inter Milan supporter, but I don't agree if Inter Milan success in reaching the final last season is considered a luck factor. In the group stage last season, Inter joined the group consisting of Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Inter managed to become runners up while preventing Barcelona from qualifying for the round of 16.

Yes, Inter faced slightly weaker opponents on the way to the final compared to Manchester City, but they did their best to beat their opponents. This season Inter's performance is better than last season, they will try to reach the final like they achieved last season to win the trophy they failed to achieve after being defeated by Manchester City.

[piebeyb]

All fans certainly really hope that Inter will get the same results but it all depends on who Inter will be playing against in the semi-finals, even though Inter has made a very strong improvement, but if they have to compete against stronger clubs like Manchester City or Real Madrid, it looks like they will It is very difficult to qualify for the final round like last season but if Inter can get equal opponents I think the chance of qualifying for the final round will be very big.

That's why Inter Milan was able to qualify for the UCL final last season because the road was smooth, while Manchester City had to face the strongest clubs in the UCL such as Munich and Madrid. If last season Manchester City's position had been replaced by Inter Milan, they certainly wouldn't have been able to qualify until the final. and will stop against Munich or Madrid, so far I admit that Inter Milan is quite good this season, even in the domestic league they have maintained their consistency quite well so they can show their strength in the UCL later.

But it's too early to expect Inter Milan to qualify for the final this season because they have to face Atletico Madrid and it's not an easy opponent to beat because Atletico Madrid also often surprises their opponents, so I hope Inter Milan really prepares themselves to face Atletico Madrid later on. round of 16 and Inter Milan should be able to get rid of them easily if they want to repeat last season's events, but I don't think their strength is enough to face the great clubs in the UCL at this time.

Indeed, it is time for PSG to change their environment, not be surrounded by diamonds and they have to create their own diamonds so that they can be more organized in bigger competitions without having to rely on star players for roles. Everything requires a process for PSG and it is not easy for a team that was successful from the start because it had a rich owner and not because a team learns to build strength from history.

that's right, but it's hard to see PSG building their own diamond because PSG is a team that has very large finances and is able to buy high quality players according to the coach's wishes, but all of that is actually a mistake if a team is not able to develop new talent to build team performance. who is strong and has very solid players is very difficult if you don't have key players or players whose talents the team has developed.
however, PSG goal is just to quickly get a title in the UCL and that is the main goal of the PSG president, so he always buys players at high prices and with very good quality talent, such as at that time Mbappe, Messi and also Neymar.

until now, it is difficult to see PSG getting the title in the UCL, even though in League 1 this team seems to dominate the standings, but in the UCL it will not be easy to compete with other big teams because the UCL requires strong player cooperation.
even if currently Mbappe is still a very reliable player, this is not just about Mbappe but all PSG players.

True, it could be said that Inter Milan were lucky enough to reach the final last season, but I also agree that they could match the play of Manchester City in the final match. Even if they have fast players up front, then they might be able to capitalize into goals. But they don't have that speed so in that match I think they wasted a lot of chances, especially at the end of the match.
Honestly, Inter Milan exceeded my expectations in that match and I really appreciate them because they can answer all the doubts that come to them. This season maybe they're in an easier group than last season, but their performances are also better than last season.

[Belarge]

The best team is rewarded with major titles, while the struggling clubs only fights harder to maintain a spot in the UCL. High spirit coming from elite clubs, every potential manager keen on lifting the UCL trophy but it's definitely going to be hard one because it consists of more competing clubs. This season comes different, Manchester City and Real Madrid are the frontline favorites to win, perhapes there are other competing opponents that tends to take their performance very very serious. Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola are experienced and hoping for the big winnings.

[tiCeR]

I doubt that PSG will ever have the chance of winning the champions league this season with only their world class player Mbappe. A tree cannot make a forest, and we have other clubs that are stronger than PSG with several great players. The time that PSG would have been able to win the champions league was last season that they had three professional strikers with them but still they failed. It shows that they were not desperate to win the champions league. Only clubs that are desperate to win it, will win the champions league. We saw it last season how Man city won it due to the desperate mindset that they had. This season we have more than two clubs that ha e been showing great interest to win the league, and I believe that one of them will win it

The biggest chance they had to win the Champions League was when they reached the final but then failed to win it because Kingsley Coman back then scored the winning goal for Bayern Munich and that was the end of the game for them. But afterwards they mostly declined in performance and never really got close to the final again. They found their master every single time and it was close one more time when they got eliminated by Real Madrid after they had the lead, but I think it was Donnaruma who made a massive mistake and destroyed their game. But this season I agree that there chance is quite little to win it or even reach the final.

Yes indeed, PSG still does not have a good chance of being able to win the Champion League trophy because ya, when comparing the results of their matches in Ligue 1. At least, I also think a little proves that PSG is still not strong enough to be able to compete further in the Champion League. But ya, at least to qualify for the quarter finals I think can still happen because for me, playing against Real Sociedad in the last 16 still makes PSG have a better chance. But even if that happens, or even if PSG manages to qualify for the quarter finals but still, for that phase I believe PSG no longer has a good chance of winning.

PSG has always been paying attention to world class player names. If they had some world class player names in their team, they thought that this is enough to win the Champions League trophy. But I emphasized that the focused on names because what did it help them that they signed a player like Ramos who was in his mid 30s? It is a big name in the football business, but how could such a player improve the team to a degree that they can reach the next level and compete with the giants like Real Madrid? They should focus less on names and more on what they need in the team. Their offense was huge for so many years, but they never paid the same attention to their defense or the midfield.

I think you are right. Currently PSG is known for having world-class forward players. I think I only really know Mbappe and to be honest I don't really know the other PSG players. I mean, only Mbappe is often in the spotlight in various sports media. I think it is right for team management to look for potential defenders and midfielders in this transfer market.

But the problem is that I heard rumors that Mbappe is not extending his contract with PSG and that means if PSG doesn't sell him then he will be on a free transfer and that will be very detrimental to PSG. So I think PSG also needs to look for another striker in this transfer market if they don't want to lose their dominance in the league.

Saying that Inter Milan got to the final of last season UEFA Champions League by luck I think is a way of robbing them of their deserved glory and I wouldn't be a part to that because in my own analysis, they actually got to the final because they deserved it and their performance against eventual winners Manchester in the final is a proof that they get to the final by chance like some of you are trying to make us believe.
This season, the Italian Serie A club have also been doing great in their domestic league as well as in the Champions League and if they can continue with their current form, I wouldn't be surprised to see them play in the UEFA Champions League final again this season

I get your point about Inter Milan's final appearance being a result of luck and skill. I've always felt chance plays a role in sports, but Inter showed great effort and skill in a difficult group stage. Bayern and Barcelona in the same group and still winning is impressive. Their resilience and tactical skill are evident

However, their gameplay growth must be acknowledged. I agree with your UCL consistency comment. Last season's run wasn't chance; it was a sign of their rising performance, which has only improved this season. Football is exciting because of this mix of ability, strategy, and luck. Inter Milan has become a team you can't underestimate, and I'm excited to see how far they'll go this time

That's what I noticed as well and I couldn't have phrased it any better. It was a sign of their rising performance not only for the last season towards the end, but it seemed to be the beginning of something bigger and this is what happened when they played the Champions League final against Manchester City, which they could have won, and then how they started into Serie A this season. They never allowed their opponents to think for a second that Inter Milan could struggle and I am sure they will play deadly and clinical in the Champions League this time again. The only thing that can stop them is the upcoming matchups when their opponents are like Real Madrid and Manchester City. If they play against the teams that are not necessarily considered favorites, I think Inter Milan will beat them almost surely.

Indeed, it is time for PSG to change their environment, not be surrounded by diamonds and they have to create their own diamonds so that they can be more organized in bigger competitions without having to rely on star players for roles. Everything requires a process for PSG and it is not easy for a team that was successful from the start because it had a rich owner and not because a team learns to build strength from history.

that's right, but it's hard to see PSG building their own diamond because PSG is a team that has very large finances and is able to buy high quality players according to the coach's wishes, but all of that is actually a mistake if a team is not able to develop new talent to build team performance. who is strong and has very solid players is very difficult if you don't have key players or players whose talents the team has developed.
however, PSG goal is just to quickly get a title in the UCL and that is the main goal of the PSG president, so he always buys players at high prices and with very good quality talent, such as at that time Mbappe, Messi and also Neymar.

until now, it is difficult to see PSG getting the title in the UCL, even though in League 1 this team seems to dominate the standings, but in the UCL it will not be easy to compete with other big teams because the UCL requires strong player cooperation.
even if currently Mbappe is still a very reliable player, this is not just about Mbappe but all PSG players.

Ligue 1 is not a proper competition, to be honest. At least it is definitely not a very big competition for a club like PSG. They do not have any competition in the league. And whenever they face actual competition, in the Champions  League, they are not able to do well. PSG should change their approach. Otherwise, they are not going to see any success in the Champions League. Y

es, I also understand they are looking for players who are already made and bringing them in with money so that they can make a great team. But not every player is going to be able to get set with the situation. Even though it looks like they are a big club, they have a long way to go.
