UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[TelolettOm]

Bayern Munich is a weak team now; they can't compete with Leverkusen in the league, and I believe Tuchel understands that he can't win the trophy anymore; last season, they won against Dortmund because Dortmund fucked up when the league was about to end, which is when they started playing, and Bayern Munich overtook them and won the trophy, but I don't think Leverkusen will make the same mistakes Dortmund did last season to help Munich win the title. I just believe Lazio can't win Munich so easy in the second leg of the Champions League. They won't strive to lose or draw the game since they will automatically be knocked out of the competition if they don't win. Munich needs to win two goals before they can go to the next stage of the Champions League. We'll see what happens in the second leg, but I know they lost the Bundesliga trophy and will only focus on this if they win.

I can agree if Bayern Munich isn't strong enough to compete for Bundesliga title for this season. They already missed too many points, it is difficult to catch Leverkusen in the top of Bundesliga table. I think Bayern Munich isn't so weak, they performed quite well. But unfortunately, Bayern Leverkusen played almost perfectly during this season. They are still unbeatable so far, they keep winning each match to secure the Bundesliga title. We can assume that Bayer Leverkusen is very obvious to be the champion.

However, it is not the same in UCL, Bayern Munich still has the chance to win the title. Although Lazio is leading with 1 goal in the current aggregate but Bayern Munich has a good chance to beat them in Allianz Arena. It should be a big advantage to play at home, Bayern Munich won't let the fans to feel unsatisfied with the result of the match at home. I'm pretty sure Bayern Munich will win the home match and qualify for the next round.

Anyway, Tuchel must show his ability as a top coach in the next match. If he fails to win the match, I doubt there are many top teams to negotiate with him after he leaves Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

But unfortunately, Bayern Leverkusen played almost perfectly during this season. They are still unbeatable so far, they keep winning each match to secure the Bundesliga title.

Surprised to see Bayern Munich not doing well this season, they have lost ground in the Bundesliga and no longer competitive in the title race, giving Bayer Leverkusen good proofs to win the title. There's no too much talk again because Thomas Tuchel is busy showing incompetent actions and this is certainly not good for the team. Bayern Munich is an elite team and definitely not the time for them to start experiencing major setbacks, instead this is the time for them to retraced their weak steps and correct it because going home this season trophyless is huge dissapointement.

[Bananington]

Bayern Munich needs to focus on this competition, seems like the Bundelisga is going to the Leverkusen hands (until Leverkusen dont do a Borusia Dortmund clasic finish), so they need to win this key against Lazio, setled down and think and prepare the quarterfinals in a very serious way.

Maybe some key player can return from injury and that can help a lot.

Who are those returning back to the squad? Lol. Coman and Gnabry are not ready yet. Alphonso Davies could be ready for selections against Lazio come Tuesday and I do believe they'd be winners of that game. Lazio will definitely stand no chance against them in the game on Tuesday.

It'll be ten points tommorow If Bayern Leverkusen gets to level up with the scores and money acquired. Bayern Munich head coach should try to get things in the right direction. He has sure making things difficult for him.
Xabi Alonso and his lads definitely will also go on top. They have worked so hard for this night.

The man Xabi Alonsi has done an amazing work with Leverkusen and am sure Bayern Munich already knows it would be difficult to cover the point gap on the bundesliga table before the end of this seasons competition.
Bayern will be playing with much focus in their next champions league match against Lazio and sincerely I think it's a win for them.

I read about a comment where someone mentioned the 'Harry curse'. The reality is simple, not every high goal scorers or league best players eventually win the trophy. He is simply brilliant, he proved it at Tottenham from his early playing days till he had to move to Bayern Munich to prove again, that he is a great and excellent player who just hasn't been lucky enough to win major trophies.

Pep Guardiola have always been ready to face his challenges and overcoming them was no difficulty for them. Manchester City going in for another year to win the treble. The question is, can they win or not? Perhapes they successfully accomplished it last season and doing in again wouldn't be a problem. I believed the club are working entirely to improve all weaknesses. Pep Guardiola is becoming more serious this season, a with the looks of things, no one is stopping him from ascertaining greater heights with his club. Manchester City.

Theoretically, Mancity has the ability to continue to win the treble when entering the UCL qualifying round, and is only 1 point behind top team Liverpool. Everything is still within their reach, they just need to maintain their form from now until the end of the season and not lose unnecessary points, then the championship is completely within their ability.
Regarding the UCL, it is a bit more difficult for them, but with a 3-1 victory over Copenhagen in the first leg, the possibility of reaching the quarterfinals is wide open for them. If Pep continues to win the treble this season, he will become a coach who will go down in history by winning two trebles in two consecutive seasons. Previously, Pep created history when win the sixble with Barcelona in the 2009 season.

[klidex]

If you meant winning the treble again, then yes it would be unbelievable. City won their first CL title last season and made it even more special by winning the treble, but to do that all over again this season, something that has never been done, then that would be an unprecedented feat. Pep's men already have one foot in the CL QF, and they are still alive in both the EPL and the FA cup, so yes, anything can happen and if it does, it would cement Pep's and his players' legacies in football's history.

We certainly know how Manchester City was built since the arrival of the Arab owners and since then this team has started to win various major titles over the seasons. They do all this because they have large funding to get great players and at the same time they can be processed as trophy-making machines. However, it was only last season that Manchester City was able to win the most coveted title, namely the Champions League, and everyone was questioning their chances of winning back to back titles this season.

From me, the opportunity is still there even though we know that the challenge for Manchester City will be more difficult than before because the big European teams will try to take this title from them this season. Maybe Pep Guardiola should be aware that this competition will be even fiercer than before and therefore he needs to provide different tactics and strategies that will be difficult for his opponents to read later. I believe they will still be able to win it because in terms of squad depth they are still using the same squad.

Yes, that's right, since Manchester City was taken over by Sheikh Mansour, Manchester City has had strong enough funds to buy quality players to build the club's performance to become stronger and it's true that slowly Manchester has become a very strong club and is able to win big titles in the Premier League and also the Champions League. Even though Manchester has just won their first title in the Champions League, their current strength is quite strong and they still have a chance to win the title again even though it looks more difficult than before. Pep Guardiola is already aware of that with quite strong competition waiting for him in the next round of challenges next in the Champions League as well as quite tough competition in the Premier League.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are still quite strong rivals for Manchester City at the moment so he has to really appear strong to be able to beat them because after all that club's squad is also equally strong and they have also recruited quality players to help strengthen them. Their current condition, Manchester City as a whole still uses the same squad as last season, relying on Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland in the front line to strengthen the attack, but it is true as you said that Pep Guardiola has to implement a different strategy even though he uses the same squad because if you use the same strategy as the opposing club it will be easy read the weaknesses.

Manchester City looks strong because they're not only won the match, but they're able to humiliate the opponents too. But don't underestimate both Real Madrid and Inter Milan, they're only lose one match in their own respective domestic league, while Manchester City lose three times.

Statistic says Real Madrid will win, strength says Manchester City will win, but my heart says Inter Milan will win.

Different seasons comes with elite teams, and we keep hoping for this particular one to come with good expectations. Manchester City and Real Madrid are the only promising club that will reach the UEFA Champions League final and we hope the best comes with incredible results. While other clubs like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain still struggling to stand on their fit, the promising ones knows how to handle their problem. The UCL final I would hope to watch is Real Madrid vs Manchester City because it's a fight between top clubs.

While other clubs like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain still struggling to stand on their fit, the promising ones knows how to handle their problem. The UCL final I would hope to watch is Real Madrid vs Manchester City because it's a fight between top clubs.

If these two teams go to the final then this will be an ideal final because both teams are very favorites to become champions, Manchester City as the defending champion and Real Madrid as the king of the Champions League as well as a team that looks impressive this season compared to last season, and it will be difficult to predict Who will win in the final, although I will favor Real Madrid as the team that will win the Champions League this season if meet City in final.
However, before that happens, we must first wait for the second match of round 16, because the quarter-finals will be drawn, and the draw will be very decisive, the team with the easier draw will be very likely to continue, but otherwise, the chances will be very difficult.
And in my opinion, teams like Bayern Munich, Inter Milan or even Barcelona still cannot be ruled out because all three are quite good in the Champions League and especially for Inter Milan, they are the team that has improved the most this season so it is very possible to repeat last season's results where they reached the final or even as champion.

[rendravolt]

Instead of making parables about Bayern Munich and Arsenal being difficult obstacles for Manchester City, it seems more appropriate to say about Real Madrid and also Inter or maybe also about PSG. At least, the three teams are teams that have at least a safe position in their respective league standings. Therefore, those three teams have a good chance to have a great focus in the Champions League this season. So yes, although Manchester City are still very promising good results because of the greatness of De Bruyne and Haaland, but I personally might be looking forward to the results from unseeded teams like Inter and PSG, maybe they will get good results too at this moment to be able to advance further of course.

Everything will depend on the draw. If we remember last season, Inter reached the final the “easy” way, while City beat all their main competitors (like Real Madrid in the previous season). City don't look as dominant this year so a difficult draw could seriously hurt them. In the 1/8 they were extremely lucky and got Copenhagen, now if in the 1/4 they get a difficult opponent (in theory there should be no easy opponents in the 1/4) then they will have problems since there will be a series of games in the Premier League against direct competitors. I'm not sure City can be successful in both.

Regarding the opportunity for Manchester City to return against strong teams in the Champions League, it will really disturb their minds in defending their title. At the same time, they also have to think about how to defend their domestic league title and these two competitions are consecutive blows that could destroy them. The mental readiness of the players is needed to face the schedule and difficult opponents in the future and there is nothing they can do if everything just disappears.

I am well aware that this will be a challenge that will not be easy for Manchester City to overcome, but as much as possible they have to prove that they are a big team at the moment in any competition because they have a genius coach and talented players. What happens if in the previous season they were very strong but this season they are having difficulties, all football observers will assume that their time has ended in a short time. But if I am very aware that if it doesn't go as it should, it's not a bad thing because every season there will always be changes that they can't control.

PSG and bayern munich became unfavored club for me to win UCL. The performance from these clubs were so poor even though they have spent a lot of money to build the club but it means nothing. Manchester city is still leading the way to get UCL this season along with real madrid and intermilan.
I don't understand why arsenal being included into the favorite club to win UCL this season while it was not even able getting europa league last season. We are all hoping that there will be very entertaining match between real madrid vs the big club like city or intermilan

That will be very entertaining i guess. This round is so fucking easy for some big clubs to qualify but i think that there will be another interesting match to come soon. Manchester city will have a strong club to be its opponent in the upcoming game.
Barcelona is still performing quite well and it needs only to win with good aggregate to quality for the another round. Manchester city is still on the right way to win back to back treble winners again this season. Things are going to be very easy if Mcity will face easy opponent in the upcoming game.

As long as there will always be haaland and de bruyne. Im feeling city has power to get UCL back to back again. Manchester city is still on full power right now to win the trophy soon.
Pep's team is still on the track to get treble winner again this season.

We still have a long way to go before we can actually see Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the final round and we also can't be sure whether everything will go according to plan or not. Real Madrid and Manchester City are two teams that appear very promising compared to other teams, but this still cannot guarantee that they will be truly successful, especially as we know that the Champions League is full of unexpected surprises, so anything can still happen here.
Other teams like Bayern Munich are having problems, so that makes us doubt them. In the first leg of the round of 16 alone, they narrowly lost to Lazio, which makes us even more doubtful of them in the Champions League this season. But we'll see, because their chances are still quite big.

Will they have to meet each other in quarter finals or semi finals?

If they are in a same branch, they potentially will have to meet each other on their way to a final match. If they meet each other earlier than the final match, we can call it as an early final match of Champions League 2023 - 2024 and it is actually deserved to be consider like this.

Other teams like Bayern Munich are having problems, so that makes us doubt them. In the first leg of the round of 16 alone, they narrowly lost to Lazio, which makes us even more doubtful of them in the Champions League this season. But we'll see, because their chances are still quite big.

Bayern Munich was considered as one of best teams to challenge Manchester City and Real Madrid when the season started. Because they got Harry Kane from summer transfer and it continued to be like this after first half of season. It only changed recent weeks when Bayern Munich shown many problems and rumor is it comes from conflict between their coach and players. If rumor is true, it is not problems from quality of their players and they still have potential to go far in Champions League.

It's not surprising, but the teams remaining in the Champions League are the best teams in Europe at the moment, so we shouldn't underestimate either of them. It is clear that Real Madrid and Manchester City have a slightly better quality of performance than the others, but because the differences are not too significant, anything is possible.
I think Real Madrid and Manchester City's journey will not be easy this season because there are several teams that I think should be wary of because they have quite improved performance this season, such as Inter Milan.

When did Harry Kane joined the team? Why would fans feel that he is part Of the problem the team is facing now. Yes, they may have had the joy that he would bring about more improvement in the team and instead Bayern Munich is still underperforming compared to there level. However before now Bayern has been going through this problem before Harry Kane came to the league and the manager should try to fix this problem instead of poor Hary Kane going through some emotion blackmail via the posts on social media that ever since he came it has been nothing but failure for Bayern.

If Harry Kane was also performing badly the fans would have surely seen him as a part of the problem. I would never expect to see the opposite.  But right now he is even the best performing player in his first season. He is just very unlucky about winning titles. He has brought the curse with himself to Bayern Munich I'm afraid.

However of course people can't blame this look of Bayern Munich on Kane anyway. What can Kane do more than this? He has scored so many goals so far. But even Tuchel is criticizing him for some reason. Tuchel had better think about how horrible he has managed the team this season.

It would be too easy to come and get all the titles, if he wants that then with Bayern he will achieve it. Every team goes through difficult times, maybe he was just unlucky to come to the team at such a time and there is no curse here.

There is nothing to blame Kane for, he does his job, he does it just as well as he did at Tottenham. I am more inclined to believe that the reason for Bayern’s failures lies in Tuchel, after all, the coach plays a very important role in the team, starting with the choice of strategy for the game, the starting lineup and possible corrections during the game, this is a very difficult job. In addition, the coach must be a good motivator for the players and be able to communicate with them. Tuchel failed to do this in Bayern.

Bayern Munich must be happy with their current form if they are lucky to progress against Lazio. The team is currently not on a par with Manchester City or Real Madrid and should therefore not be any competition against those two teams this season. In terms of individual players, Bayern is certainly on a par with Man City and Real, but these individual players are currently do not function well as a team.

Statistic says Real Madrid will win, strength says Manchester City will win, but my heart says Inter Milan will win.

There is no doubt about Manchester City strength, last season's statistics in the Champions League have left Real Madrid with deep wounds after being humiliated in the semifinals. This season Manchester City is still one of the favorite teams, their strength is still very perfect even though they have faltered in several EPL matches.

It's too early to predict which team will win the race for the UCL trophy, Real Madrid still has a chance, Inter Milan is also in their best condition. Anything can still happen because there are still many matches to be played, these teams are also fighting to win trophies in their respective leagues. The injury factor of several key players could change everything, the coach is very afraid if a key player gets injured because it would make the team's performance a little shaky.

A lot of clubs are trying their best but their best is not enough and that is why clubs that are putting much effort are the clubs that are succeeding because they choose to put extra effort and that is why people are always acknowledging Manchester city and real Madrid, and i don't know why i just dot like Manchester city they are just to proud even there fans and i will want real Madrid to win the champions league because even last season they had upper hand to win but they became unserious along the line and Manchester city were able to win, and i want this season to be different even  last season psg tried there best but along the line it did not work out for them because last season Manchester city was not that serious so it was even very easy for them to win the two trophies but i have a strong believe that this season is going to be different.

It is difficult to predict which teams will reach the Champions League final this season, but Manchester City and Real Madrid are considered strong favorites to qualify for the final. Manchester City has a strong squad and is performing admirably in European competitions this season, while Real Madrid is distinguished by its rich history in the Champions League and its experience in major competitions. Therefore, if both teams continue at a strong level and continuous performances then it is possible to see them both in the final. Personally, i wouldn't like to see both of the them in the final because it would be difficult to bet either on thye final result or the number of goals. There are a lot of other good teams that deserves to reach the final. Maybe it's time for classic club to retire

Do you think Harry Kane had bad performed? he was scored 27 goals of 24 matches in Bundesliga and his performed very well for giving the best performed in this season. But Bayern Munich had bad performed with their defense players and conceded many goals in this season not only in domestic league but also Bayern Munich losses in Champion League match. Facing the second leg match against Lazio, Bayern Munich had bad capital after hold draw by Freiburg last match and make difficult for raising to the top position standings and right now remaining 7 points and potential becoming 10 points if Leverkusen win upcoming match.
Thomas Tuchel must improve his team performance on second leg match and make huge pressure on the early minutes if want get chance qualify to quarter final.
