UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[swogerino]

It's actually quite an interesting situation: two mega-losers of this season meet each other in the 1/8 and both have a chance. But the result of the confrontation can be said to be “strengthened” since the one who gets eliminated will be doubly upset (since eliminated by a weak team) and the one who wins will be happy because he has reached 1/4. Barcelona is still the favorite in the eyes of the bookmakers, but I think that based on the results of the two games, Napoli will go further.

It's quite intriguing that you say this team is a loser. haha
But the loser is Napoli because in the domestic league they dropped quite far but Barcelona is still said to be at a pretty good level in LaLiga but I realize doubts about how Barcelona plays because of its difficulty in every match to win.

This is the Champion's league so maybe it will be a little different the bookmakers make Barcelona the favorite it is still reasonable because this team is a team that is always in the Champion's League it's just that now many doubt Barcelona's steps now.

At the moment Napoli are in 9th place and Barcelona are in 3rd, but is there a big difference if we are talking about the current champions who have already failed to defend the title and have no chance this season? There is nothing unfair in calling them losers, by the way, both clubs evaluate this season in the same way since Napoli has already changed their coach, and Xavi’s departure from Barcelona has already been announced.
But one of them will end up in the quarter finals (two steps away from the title hehe) and will have a chance to save the season.

Both teams have suffered a very bad performance during this year with a lot of volatility but surely Napoli has been worse,maybe also for the fact that their players are of a lower quality compared to Barcelona players when we evaluate their skills individually.
No matter of the fact that these teams are not in a good position and that Barcelona has better quality players this does not mean anything as any team in such elimination two game formula can come up and fight real hard for the victory,Napoli being no exception to this so most likely this is quite an open battle and any team can progress further.

I think it is almost impossible for Napoli and Barcelona to win the UCL and even being able to progress further is quite doubtful because the performance of these two teams is really in a slump this season with all the problems that the teams are facing.

However, in the round of 16 of the UCL I think it is an advantage for Barcelona and Npaoli to face each other because then both teams have the same percentage to qualify.
I think that Napoli and Barcelona are quite balanced this season and because of this it is quite difficult to predict who will win.

Barcelona has no chance of winning the La Liga title. So I think Xavi will probably try his best to do well in the Champions League. However, the Barcelona team cannot be considered as favorites for the Champions League title. Barcelona still have the potential to do well.

The performance of the Napoli team is not good now. They have won two of their last five matches in Serie A and are ninth in the points table. On the other hand, Barcelona's performance is also somewhat erratic. However, comparing the overall performance of Barcelona and Napoli, it seems to me that the Barcelona team is the favorite. I am willing to bet on Barcelona to win this match.

Yes, that's right and they were champions in the domestic league last season and coincidentally their performance has dropped a bit this season so of course to qualify for the next round this match is very tight I can't predict who will qualify but they will show their best performance in this meeting , it is clear that Napoli also wants to qualify for the next round, as well as Barcelona, who have failed, do not have another chance to win the title in the domestic league this season. so they only have a chance at UCL.

Even though it might take a miracle for them to win the UCL title this season, their chances are only slim because there is no smooth road for them of course because there are still many of the strongest clubs in the UCL that they have to face after this round of 16 meeting, but I think in the match meeting The first leg will be a draw because both of them are not in good form, but they will play with the strength they have at the moment, I will probably bet on both of them scoring goals but the score is likely to be a draw.

[len01]

Bayern Munich have bad capital before facing Lazio in round of 16 after defeating by Bayern Leverkusen in domestic league, I'm sure the crushing defeat to Bayern Leverkusen 3-0 put little mentality pressure on Bayern Munich ahead of the first leg against Lazio four days later. Must improving performance because conceded three goals in one match very poor result for Bayern Munich want to win domestic league and Champion League trophies in this season.

Lazio will be host for the first leg and get advantage after looking the current inconsistency performance from Bayern Munich, they have secure first leg by winning above two goals and make easily for second leg when away to Allianz Arena stadium. Lazio had good result match in domestic league after winning against Cagliari, become their capital for facing Bayern Munich and get surprise if can qualify to quarter final round.

I will not use domestic league matches as a benchmark for predicting the results of the match against Lazio.
who would have thought that all of this was part of the strategy used to protect players from injury?
I mean it could be that in the bundesliga match Bayern Munich just appeared without big ambitions because the Munich players knew that there would be more important matches to prioritize so losing in the Bundesliga would not make me disappointed or worried if Bayern Munich would lose in the first leg.
and on the one hand, if we compare from the domestic league, it seems that Lazio is more inconsistent and look at Bayern Munich, which is more consistent than Lazio in each domestic league.

we don't know what Bayern Munich is planning at the moment but looking at Tuchel experience it seems like there is a big plan that the coach will carry out and my prediction in the first leg I am sure the two teams will share the score and end in a draw and in the second leg Bayern Munich will win.
maybe I predicted the match too early, but this is just my opinion based on looking at Tuchel strategies that have been used in the past.

[beerlover]

While there are only 3 days to go for Bayern Munich to play their Champions League match they have got a really bad defeat against Leverkusen. Their performance was also very poor which I must say.    Maybe this wouldn't be much of a problem on Bayern Munich to eliminate Lazio anyway. But the fans still would be worried about their success in the competition.

Because as you know they were already not impressive in the group stage. If they still leave an impression of an inconsistent team it would be quite possible to see them being eliminated by a title contender in an early stage.

Leverkusen dominated the game and won easily, and to think that Leverkusen is at europa and Bayern is at UCL, wouldn't be really all that confusing if the sides flipped and Leverkusen was at UCL, they could have carried their weight to be fair. In the end Bayern seems to be not that great with Tuchel at the helm, he is a great manager and I am sure that they are going to be fine, plus they have a lot of injured players which is a trouble for them but that doesn't mean that they are going to end up with wins, sometimes you can do everything right and still end up losing as well.

This is why Bayern may end up losing and then sacking Tuchel, only natural that he would be sacked because of this without a doubt. Failed to win super cup, failed against some super weak low division team at cup, losing the league for the first time in over a decade, it is really the worst season of Bayern in the last 10+ years all with Tuchel.

[QueenVera]

Even though if he will be failed to win the UCL then he will be having other chance to get trophy from the another competition. Im not seeing UCL must be gotten by him but we must also aware that if this competition is very hard to get. It's not as easy as people said to win UCL by having good clubs.
Let's see that whether that thing will happen to him or not. I think that thing will not happen to him. Don't you remember what happened to the kyle walker? I remember that many people were also saying the same thing like you but it's not happening.

Bayern munich was in another trouble caused by it was losing against leverkusen. Munich needs to strengthen its mentality. The chance to get UCL will be far harder caused by there will be so many drama to happen till the end of season. bayern is still having chance to win some trophies this season.
Let say that if kane will be only winning a trophy and it means that if kane's curse was only a fake news. Kane was not starting his season in bayern with good start.
The communication was limiting him to build chemistry with his teamates. Im also aware about this too. It was making the situation to be even better for munich. Let's wait how good improvement will be showing by him soon.

Well Harry kane is not going to have any trophy this season as the team generally isn’t looking like they’ll be able to challenge for any. They’re very much in the UCL but I don’t even see them going past the last 8. The team generally haven’t had that Chemistry that Bayern is sure known for. Thomas Tuchel pattern in this Bayern team haven’t been able to unleash the beast this Bayern team have.

 For this reason, I think winning the UCL will be quite hectic and a challenge for Bayern and Harry Kane. Harry shouldn’t have much of a worry as it’s not his fault that he could go trophyless rather the pattern of the coach hasn’t been able to get them the trophies they deserve. I don't think Tuchel is the right coach for the club and with he right coach to manage that squad I think they'll become dominate again.

[hahay]

Bayern plays terribly in away playoff matches. It’s as if there’s absolutely no chance here. Even though Lazio isn’t performing very badly in Serie A. The whole season the team is playing worse and worse, there’s no coaching thought. Cool players run around on their own, even without shots on goal, as they played with Bayer, he did half the job, the second is the helplessness and spinelessness of Bayern, 5 points still do not guarantee much. But considering that the Champions League will be more important for Bayern, the chances are increasing. But the season is not over yet.

Winning points does not appear to be a simple task for Bayern Munich, as they get near to triumph without creating a solid foundation. Thomas Tuchel should be held accountable for Bayern Munich's downturn in performance, as we observed them struggle in previous matches. Don't put your hope in Bayern Munich because they have no realistic odds of surpassing Bayer Leverkusen on the standings, not when Xabi Alonso have been fully equipped. After their humbling defeats against Leverkusen yesterday, the Bavarians must improve their game style and become the dominant team that everyone expected them to be.

Forget the results obtained in the Bundesliga because anyway, even though Bayern Munich is likely to fail to win the Bundesliga trophy but yes, at least Bayern Munich still has a chance in the Champion League. Therefore, because at this moment Bayern Munich seems to have lost the chance to win the trophy in the Bundesliga then yes, Tuchel should be able to maximize Bayern Munich's performance to have a better chance in the Champions League. Because after all, every team in the Champion League certainly has a chance to get good results so, at this moment Bayern Munich can focus more on building better performance to reach the final match in the Champion League.

Bayern Munchen could play with a different performance in the Champions League, where Tuchel fleet could still be the favorite team as usual. However, Bayern defeat in the Bundesliga can at least be taken into consideration, even though we cannot use it as a complete reference for assessing their future chances. I believe Bayern will perform optimally in the UCL, because they already have difficulty competing with Leverkusen at domestic level.

However, Bayern journey will certainly not be as easy as we imagine, it is possible that they will be eliminated early when facing fellow favorite teams. For the round of 16 itself, I have no doubt at all that Bayern can finish it well. It all really depends on Tuchel, how he fixes the club to be able to talk a lot in the UCL this season, if they can't win the UCL then Bayern will be fasting for a title this season.

I think ups and downs in performance are very natural, and Kane arrived at the right time to help Bayern have better bargaining power in every competition. It could be that Bayern failed miserably this season, and they will be a great success next season, that is all very possible in football.

It's hard for me to say that Napoli are in a worse position. For example, if they enter the top 4, it will be an ordinary season for them (and if they reach 1/4 of the Champions League, it will be almost a successful one). Napoli is not a top club like Barcelona. Last year Napoli's title was a historical event and a surprise for everyone, while even for crisis Barcelona the title was just "okay, this year Real allowed us to become champions, good, but nothing special."
Therefore, in my opinion, even in terms of the depth of failure, these clubs at the end of the season can be completely equal. In their confrontation in the Champions League, I will wait for the underdog (Napoli) to win.

Spot on my man. Thomas Tuchel would not be able to lift a single trophy this season you see, not the Bundesliga League Competition and not the Champions League Competition also.
I pity and feel bad for Harry Kane but if they could change hands that manages the club then they can talk about winning something at the end of the season.
They're one match away from the Bundesliga Cup Competition amd doing well in the Bundesliga League Competition with five points above Bayern Munich. They have the chance to deny Harry Kane and all of Bayern Munich supporters in this game.

They not amongst the first three clubs to win the Champions League anymore, count them off complete. Thomas Tuchel is not doing well, I'm sure he will be sacked at the end of the season.

Bayern Munich have bad capital before facing Lazio in round of 16 after defeating by Bayern Leverkusen in domestic league, I'm sure the crushing defeat to Bayern Leverkusen 3-0 put little mentality pressure on Bayern Munich ahead of the first leg against Lazio four days later.

Lazio will be host for the first leg and get advantage after looking the current inconsistency performance from Bayern Munich, they have secure first leg by winning above two goals and make easily for second leg when away to Allianz Arena stadium. Lazio had good result match in domestic league after winning against Cagliari, become their capital for facing Bayern Munich and get surprise if can qualify to quarter final round.

Defending champion Bayern Munich was completely overwhelmed by Leverkusen and was defeated by this opponent with a score of 3-0. Bayern with a squad of many top stars. However, what coach Thomas Tuchel and his team showed can only be summarized with two words: "Too bad." But anyway, they are still among the candidates to win the Champions League this season. Bayern Munich is one of the teams that Lazio doesn't want to meet the most. Bayern Munich crushed Lazio with a total score of 6-2 in the 2020/2021 season. I'm wondering if they want to focus on the Champions League or if they are really that bad. Anyway, Bayern Munich should not take Lazio lightly.

This year there is no such clear favorite for the title. I think Barcelona is very weak despite their 3rd place in La Liga, Napoli has a very good chance of advancing to the next round as winners. But I don't see any chance for either team of winning the CL this year.

[nurilham]

It makes sense if Bayern Munich will prioritize UCL over Bundesliga because the chance to win in Bundesliga is getting smaller. Bayern Munich still has the chance to win UCL title but there are too many strong teams in UCL. Although they will be focused on UCL more, there is still no guarantee to win the title. Real Madrid and Man City are 2 teams that possibly stop Bayern Munich from winning the title. If Bayern Munich must face one of the teams in the semi-final, I doubt they will reach the final round. Sure, the result of the matches in Bundesliga can't be determined the performance of Bayern Munich in UCL. But it really described how strong Bayern Munich in this season.

The reason of why Tuchel joined Bayern Munich was because of the Champions League. However, I think even Bayern Munich after the bad result they got recently against Leverkusen is surely under pressure and I think that's why Tuchel needs to recover the team and help them to get in a better situation. Because Tuchel can even easily get fired from the team if they lose the Champions League.

The performance of the two teams is not very good this season which probably won't be very interesting to watch their matches haha
But I admit that Barcelona is still stronger to be the winner in the round of 16 match later. Almost the same thing has happened with Napoli and Barcelona this season where Barcelona will also lose Xavi because Xavi will resign after the end of this season. For Napoli, Walter mazzarri performance was also not very good because he struggled to win for Napoli.

So, if a team is not performing very well this season, it will definitely be difficult for them to last longer in the Champions League this season. But for Xavi he can make the Champions League a big target to bring Barcelona to go further because in LaLiga it seems like barcelona has given up on being able to compete with Real madrid.

Since being handled by Mazzarri, Napoli's performance has really dropped drastically, I really like the Spaletti era, even in the local league, they are no longer able to compete at the top of the standings.

Meanwhile for Barcelona their performance is actually not that bad, the only issue is that Xavi is not comfortable at Barcelona and if this really happens then Barcelona's performance will be affected, even though the Barcelona vs Napoli match will take place in the next 10 days but both teams must prepare themselves mentally. Even though Napoli has a small chance of winning, they have to keep fighting in this match.

[coinlocket$]

Morata has been injuried, he will probably skip the game with Inter.

[airfinex]

I go with the rest of users here that says, it's way too early. The previous season just ended 2days ago with Manchester City emerging as the 2022/23 champions and would be title defenders through the 2023/24 season but at this time, a lot is unclear and having to speculate anything would be doing it without several statistics to go by. The transfers aren't done and the teams strength can't be qualified. It's just too early.

But let's look, for example, of course at the level of the Copenhagen teams. A good strong team, just the children's Super League, with all due respect, clearly does not belong in the top leagues of Europe. Let's look at the autumn stage of the Champions League and in the personal meetings of the Danes with Man City we see that in Parken the citizens played two they have never won. The lack of match practice among the Danes and the almost uninterrupted games of the English can be perceived differently. City has almost no options to move on.

[rahmad2nd]

I think it is almost impossible for Napoli and Barcelona to win the UCL and even being able to progress further is quite doubtful because the performance of these two teams is really in a slump this season with all the problems that the teams are facing.

However, in the round of 16 of the UCL I think it is an advantage for Barcelona and Npaoli to face each other because then both teams have the same percentage to qualify.
I think that Napoli and Barcelona are quite balanced this season and because of this it is quite difficult to predict who will win.

Based on the performance of these two teams in various competitions, especially the Domestic League, these two teams played very unstable. Several factors became obstacles for both teams, whether due to player injuries, systems and coaching strategies that were not optimal, and many other factors that prevented these two teams from showing their best performance. so, it is very natural that these two teams are not favorites in the Champions League competition. but in reality, in football it's not as easy as we talk about.

For now, we are talking only based on their statistics and performance. in the actual match, we will find out how far Napoli and Barcelona have advanced in this competition. after all, everything is still very possible even though these two teams are currently in unstable performance. so, let's just focus on the Nopoli vs Barcelona match. in this match, it seems that Napoli is slightly superior to Barcelona based on the betting market. for the time being, Napoli is at odds @2.55, while Barcelona is at odds @2.60. Theoretically, both teams have a chance to defeat each other in the next battle. well, at least this match still has time between the two teams. we can discuss other matches first, such as the Copenhagen vs Manchester City match, and other more interesting matches.
