UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[bastisisca]

I think Lazio is super lucky because everything in Bayern Munich is even getting worse. This team is in crisis because of their coach and it seems we are going to see a new coach instead of Tuchel in Bayern Munich soon.
They won the first leg against Bayern Munich with a 1-0 result with Bayern Munich got a red card and these all can help them to even beat Bayern Munich in the second leg too because there is not a good atmosphere in Bayern Munich right now.
Maybe Bayern Munich can get kicked oof of this tournament even before everyone could imagine to see.

I wouldn`t say luck, let`s say that Lazio woke up from a torpor that lasted months, in fact I didn`t think they would wake up again and I made a mistake in the prediction on an internal match (with Torino).

So be careful not to underestimate them, they are not an easy team to face, for everyone.

Even though Bayern Munich trailed Lazio 1-0 in the first leg, Champions League fans expectations of them are still very high, that Thucel is predicted to be able to manage his team to turn things around at the Allianz Arena. But maybe this is a moment that can trap bettors, who fail to see Lazio as a team that can create a surprise like what happened in the first leg. Maurizio Sarri is an experienced figure, he has more strategic options to maintain his team advantage. To minimize risks, it is possible that Sarri will choose a pragmatic strategy. Harry Kane cannot bump if Sarri chooses to park the bus in the penalty box.

These two coaches have both coached Chelsea, but Tuchel had a better portfolio when coaching Chelsea. 
Psychologically, perhaps Munich is the favorite to be able to turn things around when they host Lazio at the Allianz and ensure they qualify for the next round.

In my opinion, Lazio's performance in the domestic league is mediocre, not superior. This opens up the opportunity for Lazio to have ups and downs in performance.
The pressure from the Munich supporters at Allianz could have caused the Lazio players to drop mentally so that Munich could take advantage of it to steal more than 2 goals.
Moreover, in the Lazio lineup there are not many players who have experience competing in the UCL.

I Agree with you on the part of lazio not having players with much experience in the champions League, on like Bayern Munich players, who have been playing in the champions league almost every season, however tuchel for me hasn't been at his best since he arrived Munich, maybe he needs time or maybe he hasn't gotten the required technique to survive the bundles legal, on like when he came to Chelsea and turned things around for the London club withing the first few period he came. However his successor in Chelsea Mauricio pochettino has been doing an awful job.

I believe every league has its own pattern and approach a coach needs before he can successfully get his players at their best. And that is what Tuchel is doing. I cannot conclude that he is not managing Bayern Munich so well. We all know what he can do and what he has done. However, Lazio is no match for Bayern Munich. With this current level of both teams, i can assure you that Bayern Munich will win flawlessly.

We shouldn't forget that Bayern Munich has quality players but i don't really know what is going on with them in the Bundesliga. Maybe in UCL we may a see a better performance. Let's hope so.

[bering]

Manchester City are not worried about their second leg match. They won the away match by 3-1. After winning by 2 goals, they are in safe place now. Manchester City will try to win the home match as well. But I think City will play a bit defensive strategy in this match. Because Guardiola would not want any player in his squad to face injury. Along with winning the Champions League title, the team is also trying to win the Premier League title.

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 win in the away match. There is no doubt that Madrid are strong at home. However, some key players in Madrid's squad are injured. So it won't be easy for Madrid to beat Leipzig at home. I think this match will be very competitive.

Just like i said before Manchester City is lucky because as defending champion they didn't gets decent opponents since group stages and for round of 16 too compared to any other strong teams who playing at round of 16 i think the most comfortable is Manchester City because they got easy opponent Copenhagen and for second leg Manchester City will playing as a host and there is no chances for Copenhagen to win this match so clearly Copenhagen will be eliminate even my predictions is for second leg later Manchester City will playing with some of their reserved players because Guardiola want to ensure all of their players in the good fitness because they have a target want to pursuing Liverpool on Premier League

And for Real Madrid too although in the first leg they have to hard struggling to gets the winning result from Leipzig they also more likely will be qualified to quarterfinal moreover similar to Manchester City for second leg Real Madrid will playing at Santiago Bernabeu and i am sure Real Madrid will be able to beat Leipzig again at there and besides all of those teams who mentioned above i think PSG too will certainly to qualified because near to impossible for Sociedad to gets the winning results 3-0 from PSG especially Sociedad currently looks unstable at their domestic league

[Uruhara]

Tuchel will improve the attacking approach in the second leg. IMO
However, the players must push themselves physically and mentally to achieve a better result.
The defenders should avoid wasting time passing the ball back and forth and instead focus on passing directly to the wingers.
If Tuchel starts De Ligt and Eric Dier together in defense, Bayern's defense will be more stable.

Apart from that, currently Lazio even looks weak in Serie A. Because they also just lost to Fiorentina. And I think this could provide a bigger opportunity in the second leg that Bayern as the host will undoubtedly be able to make Lazio lose. H.Kane and friends will definitely be able to correct the mistakes they made in the first leg and replace them with the victory they will get in the second leg.

The performance of the two teams is actually quite different. Bayern just needs to improve their accuracy when making attacks. Because actually Lazio's defense is not that strong. Even this season in Serie A, Lazio cannot be said to be a solid team. Because it's even difficult to get close to the top 4 rankings. Last season Lazio did get good results at the end of the season. But this season Lazio got off to a bad start along with Napoli.

[ndutndut]

Playing at home could indeed be quite profitable for Bayern Munich in the second leg at the beginning of next month, because Lazio, who only have one goal in the first leg, will definitely have difficulty preventing Bayern Munich from getting more wins at the Allianz Arena. Because on the one hand Lazio is also not a very good Italian team this season so it will not be that difficult for Bayern Munich to win at home in the second leg with a score of more than one goal.

Of course playing at home is a big advantage for a team, but for Bayern Munich they are currently experiencing a significant decline in performance in the last few matches so that is a possibility for Lazio.

If you look at the overall strength of these two teams, of course Bayern Munich has stronger strength, but I have a little doubt that Bayern Munich will easily beat Lazio in the second leg because of the problems they are currently experiencing.

For Tauchle, it is currently considered a failure to handle Bayern Munich with all the problems they are facing and the high possibility of retaining the Bundesliga title.

Tuchel is certain to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season because he failed to coach Bayern Munich and it is even certain that he failed to defend the Bundesliga title. But against Lazio, I think this will be a game changer for his career at Bayern Munich. If he fails to make a comeback against Lazio in the second leg, chances are he won't have to wait until the end of the season to leave Bayern Munich, he could be fired.

Because as you said, the quality of Bayern Munich's players is above Lazio and the second leg was played at the Allianz Arena, so there is no reason for Tuchel to fail in the second leg, he has to work hard to turn things around against Lazio because this is a gamble on his career too. So, in my prediction, Bayern Munich will advance to the next round.

Maybe Bayern Munich can get kicked oof of this tournament even before everyone could imagine to see.

The final results might be not the same if there was no a red card for Bayern in the minute 67' + a penalty.
Media said Bayern in crisis which probably true but Bayern is Bayern and this is the Champions League.
I dont think Lazio will be able to get a positive results in the 2nd leg later, in the 1st leg Bayern have 17 shoots but miraculously none of it are on target/shoot on target.

[AakZaki]

Bayern Munich was unable to win the first leg against Lazio due to their incompetence and weakness throughout the preceding week. The Bavarians ventured on a three-game losing streak, indicating catastrophic results for the team. Bayern Munich is returning stronger than ever, and this time they have no choice but to eliminate their opponents; they have enormous winnings. While Lazio is having one of its most dire seasons, they lost points in their previous game, but they aren't concerned because they are only competent at one thing: defensive tactics against Bayern Munich.

Lazio's 1-0 win was not enough to be safe for leg 2. They will visit Bayern Munich on March 6. Playing defense for 90 minutes is not easy. Both teams still have a chance to qualify, but I'm favoring Bayern Munich to qualify. Munich won their last match against Leipzig. It was a result that strengthened the players mentally. Tuchel should also need to prove that he is a good coach and can bring big changes. Of course qualifying for the last 8 is a realistic target and I feel confident that Tuchel and Bayern Munich are capable of doing that.

[Jatiluhung]

Of course playing at home is a big advantage for a team, but for Bayern Munich they are currently experiencing a significant decline in performance in the last few matches so that is a possibility for Lazio.

If you look at the overall strength of these two teams, of course Bayern Munich has stronger strength, but I have a little doubt that Bayern Munich will easily beat Lazio in the second leg because of the problems they are currently experiencing.

For Tauchle, it is currently considered a failure to handle Bayern Munich with all the problems they are facing and the high possibility of retaining the Bundesliga title.

Although maybe you have doubts about Bayern due to Bayern's recent inconsistency. But you also have to be more doubtful about Lazio which is much worse than Bayern this season. In serie a Last season Lazio managed to finish in 2nd place in Serie A. But this season Lazio is still rotating in a ranking closer to 10th and is having difficulty getting closer. 4th place. But still, Bayern won't be able to beat Lazio easily. Lazio could even surprise Bayern in the second leg. But in actual analysis, Bayern should be able to qualify from the round of 16 this season. Because actually Lazio is not as strong as them. It's just that Lazio has a careful game and rarely makes gaps for big matches.

[poodle63]

I think even if Bayern Munich fails in the Champions League and is eliminated by Lazio, then they will realize that there is no one to blame anymore considering that they couldn't fix it from the start. However, even if Bayern Munich qualify, it won't change anything other than saving them from embarrassment in the higher rounds and previous expectations which placed Bayern Munich as one of the finalist teams in this season's Champions League will have disappeared.

Correct, in the end Bayern Munich won't become a champion, but it's really embarrassing if they gets eliminated by Lazio, I'm sure Tuchel would be fired a day after they lose.

But i would like to see bayern to be eliminated even early. It will be quite entertaining to see lazio goes to the further stage  im sure people will hate me coz majority of them will obviously put their bet on bayern. im still wondering whether davies will be still motivated caused by he has reached pre agreement to join in real madrid end of season.
it's confirmed that bayern and tuchel will part ways at the end of season.

The news that Bayern Munich and head coach Thomas Tuchel will part ways after the season should not have been all that stunning considering the club’s recent results, the rumore turmoil between the staff and the players, and the lack of alignment on the club’s future.

You shall not need to hope it to happen soon caused by some sources have confirmed this too.

Mark my words, the champion in this season are either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Inter Milan, the rest don't have any chance. I think this time should be Real Madrid, even Girona was overtake them, but they can regain back their position and stand strongers.

I prefer interimlan. City and madrid are still unstable but milan is kinda different. This club is having so many old players but it's the most balanced team in UCL right now. Intermilan gone to the final last season and it will happen again soon.

You forgot to put barcelona which is still stand a chance to get UCL this season. 

[giammangiato]

....
Xavi is an experienced one in UCL, he often won the UCL trophy when he was a player of Barcelona. Although he is now a coach, he must have the experience in UCL at least. But Napoli has an inexperienced coach for UCL competition. The coach has no experience as a player and as the coach as well. Francesco Calzona only has a career as an assistant manager. With this condition, Barcelona should have a bigger chance to qualify for the next round in UCL.

everything is right, but I am sorry to say, Barcelona will surely make us meatballs in the return match with Napoli, for sure
they drew with Cagliari, not exactly a very strong team, they cant always count on Victor magic, it doesnt work that way in team games, in my opinion

[Swordsoffreedom]

Lazio will only aim to draw the match in the second leg. The team will not be able to win the away match against Bayern Munich. Because Lazio knows very well that it is very difficult to win against Bayern Munich. And they were very lucky to win the home match. Lazio will be tactical in the second leg. And will play a completely defensive strategy. It will be very difficult for Bayern Munich's players to break down Lazio's defence.

In my opinion, choosing a defensive strategy against an attacking team is a very bad strategy, but on the other hand, Lazio has no other choice, and they can just hope that they can not concede a single goal from Bayern in two matches, it sounds doubtful, but they need to proceed somehow from the existing situation.

You are right, It is very risky to play only defensive strategy against the attacking team. But Lazio have no other option. Lazio is not a strong team. They were very lucky to win the first leg match. If luck wasn't on Lazio's side, they wouldn't have won against Bayern Munich. Their overall performance was not good either.



From these statistics it is easy to understand that Munich's performance was better than Lazio's. Munich's attacking players missed several easy chances. Otherwise, Lazio could not have won the match

And whatever the situation in the team, even if this is true and the players thus showed Tuchel that he does not decide everything, it seems to me that in the match with Leipzig the situation changed and in the return match with Lazio, Bayern will show a completely different game. Just look at Bayern's stats, how the team generally plays, how many shots on target they average per game, and how many they did against Lazio. If Lazio can at least draw in Munich it will be a very big sensation.

We have seen many times in the past on the Champions League platform that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid teams have made a great comeback in the second leg after poor performances in the first leg. We expect Bayern Munich to make a comeback this season as well. Because with Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the Champions League will become more competitive. This group is very strong. Munich is behind by only 1 goal. Hopefully the boys from Munich will not disappoint us in the second leg match. I especially want to see a great performance from Harry Kane.

The so much hope you have in this teams that will win the champions league is very surprising to me. Why not feel the same way for Bayern Munich too. Before now, Bayern Munich was amongst the potentials that will win the champions league trophy but as time goes on, their performance in the domestic league got declined and people now think they can’t be a contender for the champions league trophy anymore.

Their weak performance in the league and their poor performance in the first leg of the Champions League isn’t enough to conclude that they will not make it to the next round of the champions league or won’t be a title contender this season. Those leagues differ and they will do anything in order to have a good record in the Champions League this season just like they’ve been doing it prior seasons.

[un_rank]

You forgot to put barcelona which is still stand a chance to get UCL this season. 

Don't knock a team that's already down. Barcelona have as much chance to win this seasons UCL as Napoli or Dortmund do. They are not playing exciting football and cannot complete talent wise to the likes of Madrid, City or even out of form Bayern.

Maybe next two seasons they can compete for Europe's top league.

Napoli's problems arose after their coach last season, Luciano Spalletti, did not renew his contract at Napoli. And this is because there is a strong reason that makes sense. And also because of some problems he had with the club owner. (Sourch)
And yes, it was a nightmare for the club. Because after making two coaching changes up to now, Napoli is actually getting weaker. So I am also sure that Barcelona will be the one to successfully qualify for the next stage. And maybe Napoli this season in the UCL will only reach the round of 16.

And our suspicions are also strengthened by Napoli's poor results against Cagliari. Meanwhile, Barcelona actually experienced another increase in their goal productivity because they managed to beat Getafe in Laliga with a big score of 4-0. So in the second leg, maybe Napoli could also experience defeat, even if it is by a narrow score. And will lead Barcelona to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Since Barcelona and Napoli where using the same tactics to played each other in their first leg that lead to draw  game 1:1 and, the two coach was not happy the way the game ended which they will surely use the second leg to determine the strong team in this season because there must be a winner in their second leg game.

 It happen like that sometimes, for a strong team to lose against weak team by mistake but despite Napoli draw with Cagliari doesn't mean they will give Barcelona chance to eliminate them from this tournament than to introduce new tactics that will make them to achieve the victory.

Great as a player, of course, does not guarantee that he will also be great when he becomes a coach. So yes, at this moment at least Barcelona is still seen as better than Napoli, because of the squad factor they have. Because after all, Barcelona basically has a squad that has better quality with Napoli's squad, with this factor, at least Barcelona will still have a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals. But yes, the chance Barcelona has is at least because of the squad factor it has and not about their coach. Also, with a better squad, of course Barcelona has a better winning mentality compared to Napoli and therefore, it is hoped that Barcelona will be able to qualify for the quarter-finals and that is a good result of course.

But i would like to see bayern to be eliminated even early. It will be quite entertaining to see lazio goes to the further stage  im sure people will hate me coz majority of them will obviously put their bet on bayern. im still wondering whether davies will be still motivated caused by he has reached pre agreement to join in real madrid end of season.
it's confirmed that bayern and tuchel will part ways at the end of season.

It seems difficult to see that Bayern Munich will be eliminated in the second leg, because if we analyze the game and also the strength of the two teams in the first leg, actually Lazio was just lucky to get the penalty goal in the 69th minute, indeed lazio in that match played very well  but throughout the match we could see how pressured Lazio was due to the aggressiveness of Bayern Munich game and even Bayern Munich managed to dominate the match even though in the end their attack line looked dull, it is not wrong to expect Bayern Munich to lose in the second leg but at least there is a strong reason to We all choose the option that Bayern Munich loses in betting, from existing experience we can see that teams like Bayern Munich often come back in the second leg, especially when they play at home, f course I don't see if there is a strong reason that Bayern Munich will be eliminated by Lazio in the second leg.


It is reported that Davies has reached an agreement with Madrid verbally, but so far we have not found confirmation from Munich about this, even if Davies will join Madrid next season of course as a professional footballer he will play wholeheartedly despite all the rumors, apart from that, with showing his ability 100% in every match will of course make Madrid even more confident in recruiting him and maybe he will even be the main choice for Ancelotti to occupy the left back position in the new era Galacticos squad that Ancelotti is forming at the moment.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Of course playing at home is a big advantage for a team, but for Bayern Munich they are currently experiencing a significant decline in performance in the last few matches so that is a possibility for Lazio.

Although maybe you have doubts about Bayern due to Bayern's recent inconsistency. But you also have to be more doubtful about Lazio which is much worse than Bayern this season. In serie a Last season Lazio managed to finish in 2nd place in Serie A. But this season Lazio is still rotating in a ranking closer to 10th and is having difficulty getting closer. 4th place. But still, Bayern won't be able to beat Lazio easily. Lazio could even surprise Bayern in the second leg. But in actual analysis, Bayern should be able to qualify from the round of 16 this season. Because actually Lazio is not as strong as them. It's just that Lazio has a careful game and rarely makes gaps for big matches.

The performance of Bayern Munich lately gives everyone who's a fan a serious concern because they aren't getting better in performance and going with their last performance against Lazio in the first leg, Bayern Munich should progress easily with the one goal down that's if it was the team of Bayern Munich of before but based on their current form now it is very easy for them to be defeated by Lazio andcit is still easy for them to progress against Lazio because the Lazio team may have a goal advantage over Bayern Munich but they are not having a good performance this season too.

I don't see much chance for Barcelona to win the Champions League. Barcelona do not have the kind of wins and performances needed to win the Champions League trophy at the moment. When every position of a team is strong then good performance will come from that team but Barcelona is not strong in every position. Barcelona doesn't have a great finisher like Real Madrid, Barcelona doesn't have a good quality defender and Barcelona doesn't have a good quality midfielder, with so many weaknesses, it will definitely not be easy to do well in a tournament like the Champions League. Manchester City Real Madrid Bayern Munich are far behind in their preparations for the Champions League so this season is definitely going to be a tough season for Barcelona.

[Ndabagi01]

The return leg of the Champions league round 16 is around the corner,and the teams to win with highest goals will qualify,Mancity have already qualified to me, because I don't see any way Copenhagen can win them again,they are the only team to have qualified.For Lazio,Madrid,and Porto who won by 1:0,I still think the battle is very much on because for Arsenal,they might try to win 2:0 in the returning leg,Bayern might want to do thesame,and also Liepzig might struggle it out with Madrid because they really showed how good they are in their first leg.I cant wait to see how the returning leg will be like.

The only returning leg game with a guaranteed winner is Manchester City vs. Copenhagen. Copenhagen has come a long way, and I believe they have done their best to get to this point, and they deserve all of the credit for their efforts. They can't simply beat Manchester City; that's the fact of the game; they're superior and more powerful in every way they can imagine. Perhaps if they had a smaller team, they could have passed through, but for Manchester City, it is impossible to win and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.

The remaining games are still difficult to predict, with the exception of Real Madrid, which I believe will qualify without much difficulty against Leipzig. However, Arsenal and Bayern Munich require two or more goals to advance to the next round of the competition, and their opponents will not make it easy for them to score those two goals without attempting to equalise the goals again. The game is still very competitive, and only the better and most productive team from the second leg games will advance to the quarterfinals.
