UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Actually I see Kloop also suitable if he goes to Bayern Munich. But his statement about his future seems to have been answered. So that seems unlikely to happen. Instead of Xabi I think Zidane could be another alternative. Because I read he is ready to work again at the moment.
Bayern Munich's chances in the UCL are still very big. They only lost 0-1 to Lazio in leg 1. Furthermore, they have many opportunities because of leg 2 in Germany. I am very sure they are able to qualify for the last 8.

Bayern Munich management is currently trying to find a replacement for a new coach, but several big names are still hesitant to join even though several of them have been contacted and offered proposals. Not only Bayern Munich, but Liverpool and Barcelona are also negotiating with several coaches so that some of them will consider the existing proposals.

As for their chances in the Champions League, I think it's still reasonable to expect them to progress to the quarter-finals. Lazio leads 0-1 on aggregate, that's not much at all but Lazio has a chance to keep it. Bayern Munich have home advantage in the second leg, if they can take advantage of that then Lazio should not have a high chance of winning the match or even maintaining the aggregate.

It would indeed be extraordinary if City could repeat last season's achievements. the first leg against Copenhagen was in their favor. and the second leg they will still be favorites to win.
while in the Premier League, City competes with Liverpool and Arsenal this season. Man United will not stand in City's way this season, and Liverpool are perhaps the strongest contenders. but we remember the events of last season when Arsenal almost won the trophy but lost good momentum at the end of the season. and maybe it will happen again and this time the victim will be Liverpool.

Winning The first leg against Copenhagen shouldn't be see as a big deal because Manchester city is most definitely on a different level from Copenhagen so I'm very much optimistic about the fact thst they are most definitely not going to let Copenhagen get anything from that game not with this their present form. Most likely this may be how far Copenhagen may likely be able to go this season in the champions league, Manchester city is definitely going to attempt defending the trophy they won last season and apart form Real Madrid I'm in some form of doubts if any team were going to stop them from been able to defend the title again this season. Real Madrid is currently in a very good form as Manchester city and hopefully they will meet at the finals of the champions league this season.

Liverpools participation in the champions is most certain for next season as they are most definitely nit going to have a reason not qualify even if they happen nor to win the premier league title they will not fall to the point they will not be able to secure a ticket to the champions league next season and I doubt if Liverpool will turn out victims of circumstances like Arsenal last season.

Yeah right. And it would be very funny if someone blamed Harry Kane. Even though he is the current top scorer in the Bundesliga. He has scored 27 goals this season with Bayern in the Bundesliga.

And Bayern's problems have actually been going on since last season, even before Harry Kane arrived and even before Tuchel arrived. Last season, Bayern almost failed to win the Bundesliga title because just look at the points they had at the end of the season. Well it's the same point as Dortmund.

I agree with you. It would be strange if what is happening to Bayern Munich right now is Kane's fault. Kane is the Bundesliga's top scorer, he is very productive in scoring goals, but 27 goals can be said to be a failure. If Kane doesn't win his first Bundesliga and UCL league, it's because Thomas Tuchel let him down.

For me, Kane has only been at Bayern Munich for one season. For example, if Munich failed in all competitions this season, Harry Kene is still the best striker. Bayern Munich's setback this season is purely Tuchel's fault. In my opinion, he doesn't seem to have the passion to coach Bayern Munich. Next season I'm happy he's stepping down and I hope Nagelsman returns to coach Bayern Munich, it would be even better if Flick returned.

Barcelona certainly won't waste this opportunity to play at home, it will certainly be an interesting match, because in the domestic league Napoli doesn't look good so Barcelona can take advantage of their current declining performance, Xavi must be able to take advantage of that by putting pressure on his players to being able to play optimally and win the match in the second leg, at least a narrow win is more than enough to qualify for the next round.

I am confident that Barcelona can qualify for the next round. It seems they will overcome Napoli at home of course with a different strategy, learning from the failure in the first leg where Barcelona was held to a draw by Napoli, it is clear that this is something that is not profitable, I think Xavi has prepared a strategy which is good for facing Napoli in the second leg match later, my prediction is that Barcelona will probably win 3 - 1 against Napoli in the second leg match later and they will succeed in qualifying for the next round because they are quite worthy of advancing compared to Napoli.

Barcelona is currently having issues but still they are having enough quality which will help them to defeat Napoli at home after having draw in away game in Italy where they were doing good but Osimhen goal bring Napoli to the level, but now things are completely under their control, and they are surely having good team which will give them good result and also chance for the having spot into last eight.

Xavi which is already announces about his departure from Barcelona at the end of this season trying his best for having good result and his team is already having good performance in last few games with Napoli is also not on positive change after having worst season, but now it's too late for them because most chances they are going to be ended on their poor run and having no chance for anything good at coming season if they are not going to settle their issues.

I knew that Manchester City would advance to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, and we all know that Copenhagen will not be difficult for Manchester City to win against. Playing Manchester City to win against Copenhagen will be a small odd, but if you want to increase Manchester City's odds against Copenhagen, you can play Manchester City to win and over 3.5 goals or Manchester City to win Copenhagen in the first half. 

the difference in quality of the teams is too high, too much difference
obviously it`s an almost obvious match but you should never underestimate your opponent

football is a strange game, a game also based on pride and emotions, so a spark can ignite, rare but it happens. i bet on Manchester of course

Manchester City have won with a big score of 3-1 in the first leg, moreover in the second leg Manchester City will play at home so of course there is no chance for Copenhagen to be able to turn things around. There is no good scenario to be able to make Copenhagen win, because basically Copenhagen is at a different level with Manchester City. Therefore, even though maybe in the second leg Manchester City will only play the second tier player but yes, I am sure Manchester City will still qualify for the quarter-finals. Because anyway, even if for example Manchester City lose by only 1 goal but of course Manchester City will still qualify.

Therefore, there is no good chance for Copenhagen and yes, unless Manchester City still has a big ambition to keep winning at home then the score will be big. But yes, because considering Manchester City also still have to keep the squad well because the competition in the race for the Premier League title is still very tight. So it is possible, that Pep Guardiola will also make rotations in the match against Copenhagen later, because only by maintaining the aggregate score basically Manchester City will still qualify.

This is the UEFA Champions League, and Pep Guardiola will want to name a strong squad that will easily beat Copenhagen at Etihad Stadium. If Copenhagen can get an away goal against Manchester City in their Uefa Champions League round of 16 match, it will be a great achievement for them because that is the best thing they can achieve when they visit Manchester City.

What Bayern Munich is experiencing this season is related to Tuchel's coaching because everyone can probably compare Bayern Munich's performance last season with the performance shown by Bayern Munich this season. So Bayern Munich has the possibility of not getting any big trophies this season and also including small trophies in their own local league such as the DFL Super Cup. This is certainly very sad for Bayern Munich because previously Bayern Munich was always a candidate to win, both in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga.

Actually I see Kloop also suitable if he goes to Bayern Munich. But his statement about his future seems to have been answered. So that seems unlikely to happen. Instead of Xabi I think Zidane could be another alternative. Because I read he is ready to work again at the moment.

Lazio's defence played very well in that match, but it's still amazing that Bayern didn't make a single shot on goal for the whole match, and even earned a suspension. In the return match I still think they have a better chance of winning, despite the fact that they are erratic in terms of their results this season

Bayern Munich was very far from what was expected and only through the second leg were they able to produce a decent result later. There is still confidence that Bayern Munich will not give up and they don't need to be confused considering the aggregate difference is very thin. Bayern Munich only needs to pressure Lazio at home and Harry Kane is relied on to open the goals for Bayern Munich.

I really understand that Porto's defense is very strong. At least Mikel Arteta can find a gap to score a goal in the second leg to advance to the next round. Even though Porto is in third place in the Portuguese League, that cannot be a benchmark for measuring the strength of a club.  However, here you can see or find out who will be lucky in the second leg, hopefully Mikel Arteta can find Porto's weak points so they can win or turn things around.

Now things are not easy for the Arsenal in this second leg game because they are surely now on back-foot, and they have to give their best for the chance of going into next round which could be not easy as we have Porto into first leg surely now Mikel Arteta need to be more aggressive and better because if they fail this could be big upset for them while they are already having result like this in last season when they lost against another Portuguese side in Europa League so here we can expect another backlash like this.

Even mostly are feeling Arsenal are better and solid but still on match-day things can take turn and Porto can create big trouble for them in London with we know Mikel Arteta were overconfidence, but now he is surely understand ground realities and will not allow them to have another setback for the Gunners.

Of course, Klopp is very capable to improve Bayern Munich. He is a successful coach both in Dortmund and Liverpool. He must have a chance to success in Bayern Munich as well. However, he already stated to not manage any team next season, so it is clear that he won't be the coach of Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane are also not easy to sign because there are many top teams interested to sign them. I think we can say them as the alternatives, Xabi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane must be on the top priority if Bayern Munich is serious to sign one of them.

The chance isn't very big, remember that Lazio is leading with the aggregate 1-0. However, since Bayern Munich has a quality squad, we can believe that they still have the chance to win the match in Leg 2 and qualify for the next round. Moreover, the next match will be in Allianz Arena (Bayern home), they must have the advantage for the next match.

Some levels of confusion with the last part of your text. Napoli are quite improving right now, did you see the game they played yesterday? Victor Oshime was able to score three goals during the game yesterday.
For your information, they're improving and the same goes with Napoli after they've finally sacked three coaches from when they started the league Competitions.
Xavi Hernandez would or could either be there also as tue manager of the club club Barcelona come next season.

They have issues with them finances and now the midfielder's because they're also part of the squad who are meant to shield up the defense.
Since the African Cup of Nations Competitions, Osimhen has returned to score good number of goals.

Zidane is still possible to approach, but I'm not sure he would accept the project. We may need to wait until the end of the season for Bayern Munich to find a new coach, for now there are too many rumors that are unlikely to be true.

Apart from the issue of the new coach, I tend to want to discuss Bayern Munich's chances in the second leg of this season. Lazio will most likely have difficulty maintaining their winning aggregate because they are playing away match. I'm sure Tuchel will do everything to turn things around and take the lead in his home game, he has to make the most of everything he has for win the match.

If Man City loses to Liverpool, it won't be that big of a difference in points. There are still other matches to chase points. Man City wants to repeat their success last season. I don't think there will be any reason to rest their best squad. at least they will ensure superiority and will replace players to maintain the squad's fitness.
Man City's next few matches will be quite important. they feel they are facing quite strong teams. they have to prepare many fighting strategies.

Every match is crucial in this title race especially the ones they are playing against each other, the match against themselves are the most decisive ones so any club that loses will be short in point. Of course there are other matches that they can chase points from but remember as the league draws to an end every team seem to become serious and teams in the bottom table become difficult to win because they are all fighting for points in order to escape relegation.

I don’t think there would be any need to rest players because players are all trained for such situations of match congestion so they should be able withstand the stress. Liverpool are currently experiencing injury crisis at the moment so it should be easy for Manchester City to capitalize on this opportunity now that most of their key players would not be available. The team now relies on their academy players to survive, the boys have been doing well but they are no match for Manchester City.

the difference in quality of the teams is too high, too much difference
obviously it`s an almost obvious match but you should never underestimate your opponent

football is a strange game, a game also based on pride and emotions, so a spark can ignite, rare but it happens. i bet on Manchester of course

I'm not underestimating the opponent but we know how Manchester City is performing at the moment so in terms of statistics it is also different from Copenhagen it will be an absolute victory or even losing 1-0 it is not a problem for Manchester but I don't think they will lose.

Football games are not strange but it is based on the quality of players because we can judge for ourselves which team is better will win, maybe we will know there.

In football luck is a little but skill is what is needed, you also believe not Manchester City will win? Obviously if you choose a single bet it will be small odds so parlay will be better with the odds you have.

After the Manchester Derby, Mancity probably will rest some of their key players against København due the crucial match against Liverpool 3 days after this match.
Mancity maybe only win with 1 goal difference, I dont think we will see a spectacular result in this 1st leg.
There is a 2nd leg if Mancity fail to win against København and with the Mancity 1st team, Im sure they able to win at København home.
But if they lose against Liverpool =  it will be very hard for them to win the Premier League this season.

I think it's already the second leg. the first leg Manchester City played away to København's homeground and Manchester City won 3-1. with that victory when playing at home Manchester City will be lighter when fighting the København team. so they can concentrate more on the competition in the premiere league which is very tight.

I'm sure Tuchel will do everything to turn things around and take the lead in his home game, he has to make the most of everything he has for win the match.

If Lazio succeeds in taking advantage of Bayern Munich instability in the second leg, of course Lazio will create an unexpected surprise. But I see that Bayern Munich have managed to get through their difficult times in the Bundesliga where they have returned to winning ways. For the second leg, Bayern Munich are still very much favored because they are playing at home and also in terms of strength they are still very favorites to beat Lazio.

It's just that if Lazio plays defensively well enough then they have a chance to end the match with a draw and they will qualify for the next round. But Harry Kane will definitely work hard to score goals and bring Bayern Munich through to the next round. There must be no reason to make things difficult for Bayern Munich in the second leg because I checked that all the main players are ready to be in the starting eleven so Tuchel has a big opportunity to take advantage of the second leg to get their revenge.

Even though they only scored 1 goal, the point is that at least Lazio has more capital than Bayern Munich in the second leg. But unfortunately, it will be held at Bayern Munich Stadium. So this is quite advantageous for Bayern over Lazio, right.

Well, I also think Bayern have learned enough from their mistakes yesterday and they won't just let this match go. Even though they are currently behind on aggregate, for some reason I am still quite confident that in the second leg, Bayern can turn things around to be superior. This is not their first time to be in this such situation.

I knew that Manchester City would advance to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, and we all know that Copenhagen will not be difficult for Manchester City to win against. Playing Manchester City to win against Copenhagen will be a small odd, but if you want to increase Manchester City's odds against Copenhagen, you can play Manchester City to win and over 3.5 goals or Manchester City to win Copenhagen in the first half. 

I don't think Copenhagen has any chance of winning the second leg against Manchester City because Manchester City played them extremely well in the first leg and will do so again in their upcoming encounter. Manchester City has already qualified for the quarter-finals with Madrid, because these two teams have been performing well since the start of the Champions League this season. Madrid and Manchester City have not lost any points in the competition, so let's see if they get the opportunity to win their next matches, and I believe they will still win the game. I'm just thinking Madrid will still meet Manchester City in the semi-finals or final of this competition. This season, I can't predict who will win the trophy. Let's see if they get the opportunity to win their next matches and I believe they will. I'm just thinking Madrid will still face Manchester City in the competition's semi-finals or final. I can't guess who will get the opportunity to win the trophy this season.

[quote author=Patrol69
It can be understood that Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munchen are the favorite teams to have the potential to win the Champions League this season, it's just that Bayern is currently in a bit of doubt about being the best in Europe. In my opinion, Madrid and Man City deserve to be placed on equal footing, and Bayern is below these two teams, unless Bayer shows a different performance between the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Bayern condition for qualifying is now a challenge, because Lazio won 1-0 in the first leg yesterday, Tuchel team must work hard to turn things around if they want to win the UCL trophy. However, that doesn't mean I underestimate Bayern, it's just that City and Madrid consistency this season is better than Bayern. Therefore, we cannot underestimate the chances of other dark horse teams, each contestant has a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals, depending on how they manage their team.

Don't call Bayern Munich because they aren't in good shape; they can't even score a goal. I believe they will qualify for the Champions League quarterfinals, but they won't get there unless they make mistakes; Tuchel isn't capable this season, which is why they are losing and winning with difficulty in both competitions they are playing this season. Let's see how they perform in the second leg; putting Bayern Munich in the lead isn't necessary because they're not in good form. Is superior arsenal because even now if bayern Munich and arsenal meet, Munich will be destroyed, since how they are playing is unclear, look how Harry Kane is doing, but still can't compete with Leverkusen in the league am very ashamed for Bayern Munich,  they can't defeat Leverkusen this season and I believe they are the winner of league this time they will qualify to champions league next year and they will play well.

It is very likely that Lazio will not be able to win the second leg and they also do not have a big chance of maintaining their aggregate lead. I don't use the first leg as a benchmark that Lazio will have the same performance, so I really don't expect any surprises in the second leg that make Bayern Munich fail to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Bayern Munich only needs to think that Lazio did not come to lose, so it is not good to underestimate Lazio. Tuchel is responsible for his team's performance and he must do better to ensure Bayern Munich progress to the quarter-finals.

Even though they only scored 1 goal, the point is that at least Lazio has more capital than Bayern Munich in the second leg. But unfortunately, it will be held at Bayern Munich Stadium. So this is quite advantageous for Bayern over Lazio, right.

This is not their first time to be in this such situation.

You are right that Bayern Munich often surprises in the Champions League when they turn things around for that I'm pretty sure they will do it again. Even though Lazio has the capital to win in the first leg, by visiting Bayern munich headquarters, of course they will have a lot of pressure in the match. Bayern munich certainly has quite a lot of experience in the Champions League and in the second leg they will play better in their search for victory.

From Tuchel performance in the Champions League, he has a good record, but I hope he can do it again with Bayern munich this season. Has many quality players in the team and also a striker who is quite productive in scoring goals so what Tuchel has to do is set a better strategy for their progress in the second leg. I predict that maybe Bayern munich can score 2 goals or more in the second leg.

For the second leg, Bayern Munich are still very much favored because they are playing at home and also in terms of strength they are still very favorites to beat Lazio.

Not yet back to winning ways smoothly. Bayern Munich is still having several problems, so winning their last match in the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig was not easy even at the Allianz Arena because Kane needed more than 90 minutes to score Bayern Munich's winning goal at that time.

Playing at the Allianz Arena in the second leg, I believe Bayern Munich will finish well so that the title competition will be even more exciting if Bayern Munich qualify.
Before facing Lazio, we need to observe Bayern Munich's game against Freiburg first. That's where we can assess whether it is true, as you say, that Bayern Munich has really returned to winning ways convincingly.

[Abu-Naim]

You are right that Bayern Munich often surprises in the Champions League when they turn things around for that I'm pretty sure they will do it again. Even though Lazio has the capital to win in the first leg, by visiting Bayern munich headquarters, of course they will have a lot of pressure in the match. Bayern munich certainly has quite a lot of experience in the Champions League and in the second leg they will play better in their search for victory.

Allianz Arena is always a scary stadium when it comes to Champions League competition, Bayern Munich is known for scoring the hight goals in Champions League matches even if they lose the first leg, they use to score more than eight goals both home and away when they are in good form; nevertheless, this time is not exempted even though they they are not in good form, but I doubt if Lazio will eliminate Bayern Munich at this stage.

From Tuchel performance in the Champions League, he has a good record, but I hope he can do it again with Bayern munich this season. Has many quality players in the team and also a striker who is quite productive in scoring goals so what Tuchel has to do is set a better strategy for their progress in the second leg. I predict that maybe Bayern munich can score 2 goals or more in the second leg.

His performances in the past were like fluke, he us a lucky coach I must admit back then when he have all these records, but for him to fail to take Bayern Munich to the top of the Bundesliga table is something to be concerned about, he is not a good manager as people are expecting that is why he was sacked by Chelsea management.
Not withstanding, he can do something this time since the goal is not much, the players will put effort to make it happen because it will be a shameful thing if Lazio eliminates Bayern Munich.
