UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Things are going very good for real madrid right now. Real madrid can still win the game aaginst leipzig away is good enough. Why do we need to expect more if real madrid has already achieved what we wanted? it doesn't even make sense to hear that. I think that rela madrid will be going it even better.
The second leg if gonna happen at home for madrid. it's time for us to make sure we can get madrid to go to the next round. Leipzig will be losing against madrid soon.

I agree with you. Even though it was a 1-0 win, a win is still a win and it will be an advantage for Madrid in the second leg. Real Madrid is the host and has an aggregate goal advantage of 1-0. Madrid is able to perform very well at home and I think it looks like Leipzig no longer has a chance to win. Leipzig is very unlucky because they have to play Madrid in the round of 16 because Madrid is one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

Results are the most important factor in football, and Leipzig lost. In the first minutes, RB Leipzig's players overwhelmed Real Madrid. Great-grandson said that they were not satisfied with the result because they had more chances to score but failed to do so. Leipzig can turn the situation around but must play well in the return leg. Because in the return leg they will have to face Real Madrid's strongest squad. They must go to the Bernabeu and play with the highest determination.
Real Madrid went through a really difficult match in Germany. With only 1 goal in this match, Real Madrid won with minimal effort, so they only had a slim advantage. In football, unexpected things always happen.

Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid is one of the matches in the last 16 of the Champions League this season. Inter Milan this season is a strong club, in the domestic league they lead the standings with a very impressive performance, they have only lost once in Serie A. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid is not in good condition, they have slipped several times. By looking at what happened to both clubs this season, I can say that Inter Milan has a greater chance of winning this match.
However, even so, this does not mean that Inter Milan will be able to win the match easily, because after all, Atletico Madrid is one of the regulars in the Champions League, and they are also one of the giant clubs in La Liga. This will be an interesting match between the two clubs, it is not impossible that they will just draw.

Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are two strong teams so there is no doubt that the competition between these two teams will be tough. Atlético Madrid is performing well in La Liga and Inter Milan are currently at the top of the Italian league so there is no chance to put any team ahead of any other team.

Betting on either team between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan is unlikely to be favorable as anything can happen in such a match and either team can turn the match in their favor at any moment. Although it is difficult to find the difference between the two teams, I would still bet on Inter Milan. I will only bet on Inter Milan in Inter Milan's home match as Inter Milan will have more chances to win that match.

Leipzig is very unlucky because they have to play Madrid in the round of 16 because Madrid is one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

You are right, but we also saw the match as a whole where several Madrid players seemed overwhelmed by the attack methods launched by Leipzig, if you watch from the start it will be very tense to see Lunin repeatedly having to defend his goal from the opponent's pressure. Not just once but almost 9x saves, all of these kicks were dangerous and had the potential for goals. The reason why Madrid was pressured was because Bellingham didn't have a midfield so the attacks created by Madrid had no balance. Therefore, Leipzig carried out a total attack by utilizing the midfield. I admit that Brahim Diaz single goal gave Madrid 3 points, but to assess the overall game you need to understand it from various points of view.

Leipzig is very unlucky because they have to play Madrid in the round of 16 because Madrid is one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

This win for Real Madrid will however ease some of their pressure as they secured a 0-1 win in the first leg. Although this one goal will give Real Madrid a lot of advantage going into the second leg, they must be careful that they will attack normally and lose the match. However, Real Madrid are in good form at the moment, and they will surely attack to win and if they can successfully score two goals in the second leg they will surely be impossible to beat. And I think that no matter how attacking Leipzig is, they will never be able to match Madrid, because the second match will be played at Madrid's home ground, so they are much stronger.

In this case, real madrid has not yet played with the best line up. We can also expect bellingham to recover again soon. it's gonna be a tough game for leipzig coz it will be facing real madrid away and leipzig will be at so many disadvantage started from losing the aggregate against real madrid.
That's a horrible situation for leipzig and i think the chance is very very small for the team to get up again. Leipzig has been performiing so well in the first leg but it was missing many opportunities in the second leg. Im feeling leipzig will be humiliated by real madrid soon.

[rendravolt]

I think a 2 - 0 win will make PSG's move safer, because playing at home to Real Sociedad in the second leg of course they only need to hold a draw or win narrowly, that will make PSG qualify for the next round and this is PSG's opportunity to be able to prove that they can reach an important round in the UCL this season, at least until the semi-finals or final will make progress for them, Mbappe played very well in this match and of course he has to do that also in the second leg.

Holding a draw will only make PSG uneasy and instead they will continue to attack and ensure another win in the second leg. Moreover, at the opponent's home ground there will definitely be stronger pressure from the opposing fans so PSG cannot be quickly satisfied with their current aggregate superiority. Real Sociedad will likely be able to catch up on this aggregate and if they are able to score two goals of course the match will continue into extra time, therefore PSG cannot relax in the slightest.

PSG's chances of qualifying are indeed very big and that is a fact that cannot be stopped by the depth of the squad they currently have. Moreover, Kylian Mbappe has just scored his 44th goal in the Champions League and managed to surpass the record of his former PSG teammate, Neymar. Kylian Mbappe will definitely score goals again and continue to add to his record and top scorer this season. However, I'm not really sure that PSG can advance to the semifinals or finals because in the quarterfinals their opponents will be much stronger than them.

In Champions League always we have unexpected results which is real beauty of this game and in first leg even Real Madrid won but still things can take turn and RB Leipzig can go through which could be normal even it's not easy because while they will play at Bernabéu things could be toughest for the German club but still all is possible.

Real Madrid is doing good job and keeping things at the best level which is good advantage for them, and they are surely having quality and consistency which is allowing them to stay into touch for the best end in both leagues RB Leipzig was in good touch but sadly in last few games their performance is on decline, and they are losing matches consistency which are concern for them with in last three away games they fail to win anyone which is surely not good deal.

For me, it is more convincing that the guarantee of qualifying is very big for Real Madrid even though the players are not complete because Bellingham cannot appear in the match but competing at home will not be a big problem for Real Madrid but it will be a tough job for Leipzig when competing at Real Madrid's home ground made Leipzig players mentally decline.
In Real Madrid's history, the club has always been able to qualify from the round of 16 and betting on Real Madrid's win is very convincing, but always consider a draw because even though they can win, if Real Madrid divides the score into a draw, we will still be surprised and I hope Bellingham will be in the 2nd leg could come with a strong performance.

We are only halfway through the first leg of this round. Next week there are some really attracting games such as Inter - Atletico Madrid and Napoli - Barcelona.

I think both of these games are big candidates to be very competitive and lovely to watch. My favourite sides for these games are Inter and Napoli honestly. I don't think Inter would lose or draw with Atletico Madrid home while they are in a great shape. When it comes to the other game I don't like Barcelona at all this season. They are really weak at defending. This can be a good advantage for Napoli home together with Osimhen's return from AFCON.

Barcelona this season cannot be expected to be in the Champions League, they have repeatedly shown something that is not good. Yes, they have felt this problem for a long time, especially when they started to falter in their finances. Now in the Champions League maybe they will be able to go further and get past the round of 16, but after that I increasingly doubt they will be able to get through round after round well.
Napoli this season has declined very much after they managed to become champions last season. A balanced match considering the performance of these two clubs, although personally I still see Barcelona as better than Napoli. The 2 matches between them will be very decisive, and maybe they will beat each other when they play as hosts, either Barcelona or Napoli.

How good Bayern is, this season in the Champions League. I think Lazio doesn’t pose any special problems for them. Let’s look at the arguments in favor of both teams. Lazio is the home field factor, oddly enough, at home Lazio plays a little better, and Bayern away is much worse than at home. two scandalous and devastating defeats of Bayern this season were on the verge. It’s just a different class of teams, this season Bayern can focus on the Champions League, since there are big problems in the championship.

In this season, we have no best of Bayern Munich even they bought Harry Kane which is goal machine, but their performance is below with sacking of Julian Nagelsmann is also having not positive impact and Thomas Tuchel fail to give results which were expected before his arrival now in last two away games they fail to score any goal and already conceded 4 goals which are surely worst for them chance for the Bundesliga are already ended with 5 points difference and now Champions League which is only hope is also not going into their favour they need to be improved their performance and finishing specially against Lazio they have 17 shots but fail to hit any goal hopefully now coming games could be better, and we will have some positive results.

I see that Bayern's performance this season tends to be inconsistent and it looks very strange, sometimes they have quite good performance but sometimes the opposite is very significant even though there are no problems whatsoever in the team.
Thomas Tuchel's position as Bayern coach is quite vulnerable now, I don't think that he should be responsible for all the chaos in this team, but it seems that the Bayern players are not playing with all their heart.
Now Bayern are struggling to defend their Bundesliga title and they are in danger of being knocked out in the last 16 of the UCL. Really the Bayern team is in quite a difficult situation right now.

Leipzig is very unlucky because they have to play Madrid in the round of 16 because Madrid is one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

Madrid's second-leg prospects are mine too. They're happy after winning 1-0. The fact that they've been so well at home helps them. Leipzig will face a mountain, especially with Madrid's excellent form. Not to mention, Madrid hasnt even played their top lineup. Bringing back Bellingham will be a challenge for Leipzig. They'll never beat Madrid, especially with their current edge. Leipzig has few chances, and I expect Madrid to come alive in the second leg.

Initially I was quite doubtful about PSG because PSG this season played less than optimally in the Champions League group stages. We could see they almost lost their spot in the round of 16. If it weren't for the goal difference from Milan, maybe PSG would fail to qualify for the next round and PSG would still have luck this season and still fighting in the Champions League and it turns out that PSG was able to take advantage of this opportunity well so that they don't make mistakes like before I'm happy that finally PSG is on the winning path against Real Sociedad, it's not easy but PSG was able to beat them in this first leg.

Yes, I hope that in the second leg PSG will win again or at least maximize the draw so they can still qualify for the next round, it is difficult for Real Sociedad to be able to break through PSG defense by more than 2 goals because PSG defense is very strong at the moment and they don't want to stop here of course, especially since Mbappe want to show his best before he leaves PSG.

No doubt too many concerns about PSG performance specially while they were in group stage matches things were not going into their way, but they have done good job and now having good advantage which is going to help them for having good win in coming matches but here mostly members are not talking about Real Sociedad which is also now on decline with having no goal in their last five games is surely worst every from top tier team in La Liga as we have things in this first leg match now we can feel PSG is surely going to be in next round because they can handle this all in Spain for the second leg game if Real Sociedad is still going to play like this but still they need to improve their finishing which is surely problem for them.

In first leg having difference of two goals is good against a team which is now down and most chances they are not going to have any fair chance for the jumping again at the top level with their performance and quality which is having no improvement.

It would be a huge surprise if Real gets eliminated during the second encounter with Leipzig which has shown quite a lot of inconsistent results during this season and surely has not the firepower to turn things around.Real when playing at home even against much stronger teams than Leipzig the times when they have lost at home in such stage of the Champions League can be counted with the fingers of just one hand so I exclude the possibility of Real not qualifying further.

They are really weak at defending. This can be a good advantage for Napoli home together with Osimhen's return from AFCON. 

I agree too, but the fact that football is a game that is filled with lots of unexpected outcomes, is possible that what and where your thought is for the winnings may become the losing side and for that, we should not underestimate any team.

But Athletico Madrid and Inter Milan or Napoli are all clubs that have the same category of performance and sometimes, what makes the difference between them is the luck factor in the game process and how the players make use of the opportunity to make a mark during the games.

[rendravolt]

Barcelona this season cannot be expected to be in the Champions League, they have repeatedly shown something that is not good. Yes, they have felt this problem for a long time, especially when they started to falter in their finances. Now in the Champions League maybe they will be able to go further and get past the round of 16, but after that I increasingly doubt they will be able to get through round after round well.
Napoli this season has declined very much after they managed to become champions last season. A balanced match considering the performance of these two clubs, although personally I still see Barcelona as better than Napoli. The 2 matches between them will be very decisive, and maybe they will beat each other when they play as hosts, either Barcelona or Napoli.

If in the end the two teams beat each other in two legs then that will definitely result in a lot of goals being scored. It is impossible for there to be only one goal or two goals and both teams will compete with each other to beat the aggregate if they want to qualify. But it doesn't rule out the possibility that in the end both teams will have to go through a penalty shootout to determine their qualification for the next round.

But it is true that the two teams are almost no different, both Barcelona and Napoli are still down with inconsistency results obtained in the domestic league and it is very difficult to bet on the winner. I wouldn't expect more from Barcelona and vice versa for Napoli, regardless of their current situation, they actually won't be able to face their next opponent. Well, it's only the best for these two teams and whoever wins or passes, they should only be able to give a minimum performance.

[QueenVera]

Ernque understood with the strategy used by real sociedad. I do agree with you since he was also coaching barcelona in the past and that has given him a lot of experience as a coach. The result against sociedad has proven that if everything can perform very well as long as we did know that the main weakness of our opponent.
PSG has been playing perfectly in this match. Losing two goals against PSG was making the club under the big pressure. I do believe if PSG will able to get the perfect result in the second leg. Yet psg shall aware if sociedad will be playing fully offensive against psg.

This match is quite easy to predict unlike bayern vs lazio. I think that if tuchel must have learned a lot from the match against lazio. PSG is still performing very well this season and im feeling if PSG will be going to the next stage. Having greater aggregates will put PSG in so many advantages even though it must be playing away.
Enrique may be fully preparing the club not to play aggresively in the second leg. This is the only best strategy that must be used by PSG to win the second leg or at least get draw against sociedad.

Well Enrique is a great coach and we trust his improvement pattern with this psg squad. He understood the game against Sociedad and he delivered the best result for the team. This kind of result is a big boost for the the team, heading into the last 8 as they won’t be playing under pressure as compared to how Real Sociedad team will be. And this match can be easily predicted as we can see Psg already going past this stage.

 When compared to the Bayern vs Lazio game where the 2nd leg will be quite intensed as Bayern will need to overturn the 1-0 lead of Lazio and try to get a full time win with maximum number of goals. This is going to be a big task for Thomas especially as he’s not used to the attacking play style but I believe he’ll be a level to get past Lazio but I’m concerned about him going past the Quaterfinals.

They are really weak at defending. This can be a good advantage for Napoli home together with Osimhen's return from AFCON. 

Serie a clubs are having very strong defensive lines this season. It will be very hard for the club from other leagues to beat it. This is the main problem that must be solved as soon as possible. Atletico madrid and barcelona are going to face the big clubs.
Barcelona was always struggling against intermilan but it has pretty good record against napoli but that's only a few match. We don't know what's going to happen with barcelona this season coz it has so many unsolved problems that was also burdening the players to perform better than previous match.
Barcelona will be missing some players like gavi and another advantage for napoli to beat barcelona. The strategy that will be used by barcelona can be identified easily coz barcelona is always putting beautiful football as its philosophy. We can argue that if the best strategy to beat barcelona was through defending straetgy.
It's not my first time to see that how abrcelona was always struggling to beat the parking bus strategy made by mourinho. It's gonna be the most effective way for barcelona to lost some aggregates against napoli. Im hoping napoli to get some aggregates to lead the game.
Playing defensive will be maing barcelona's player feel so desperate to winning the game. The only best strategy can be used by napoli when it played away or home.

Yes, even though Barcelona's performance is a little disappointing, and Napoli with their new coach has not shown promising performance, I see that both teams have more motivation to qualify for the next round, an interesting match to watch.
a very balanced match, both teams have a fairly balanced history, in my opinion there won't be many goals scored, the 1-0 score that Barcelona will win in the 2nd leg might be the deciding factor, or Napoli could give a surprise by eliminating Barcelona. , If this happens, it will be a bitter farewell for Xavi,

Maybe their target, both Barcelona and Napoli, is not to be eliminated in this round, because as I said before, in front of them they will definitely face tougher opponents, although we don't know who yet, but if you look at the list of clubs in this round of 16 , it is clear they will face a better prepared opponent. Yes, you are right, it is possible that they will compete with each other to determine who will advance to the next round via penalty shootout.
Barcelona have missed many things, usually they are one of the favorites in the Champions League, but that is not the case this season. Even though some people might consider them, in terms of percentage their chances of becoming champions are below other big clubs who have much better performances, one of which is their rival from La Liga, Real Madrid. Just looking at La Liga now, Real Madrid is not under strong pressure from Barcelona.
