UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Harry Kane really couldn’t have done too much more in his debut campaign at Bayern Munich.

The England captain and record goalscorer has consistently found the net for the Bundesliga giants, with WhoScored noting that he has 31 goals from 31 games in all competitions as well as eight assists.
Harry Kane could beat Lewandowski’s all-time record

With a dozen games still left to play in the German top-flight season, he could well beat Robert Lewandowski’s all-time record of 41, set in the 2020/21 season for the Bavarians.

Clearly, he is an integral part of his club side, so it’s a pity that a number of his colleagues aren’t up to the same level.

If you look back and remember that Bayern where Lewandowski achieved his impressive statistics, then I would assume that in that Bayern Kane would have already broken Lewandowski's record. After all, Lewandowski could not have lost all his skills in one summer (the one in which he moved to Barcelona) or been influenced by age? A lot depended on the team. It’s a shame that Kane moved to a top club and ended up in a crisis club whose prospects are no longer clear.

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.

The fans are not happy with their current form, they are dropping points in the matches they are supposed to win maximum points that is why Leverkusen given them more points gap because they are playing very well with the ambition to win the Bundesliga title this season. Bayern Leverkusen is one of the best teams in the Europe top leagues as they are yet to lose any match in the Bundesliga this season.

Comparing Bayern to Manchester City and Real Madrid this season is not proper because their players are not in the same class individually and the coaches are not of the same class as well. If Bayern win Lazio and qualify to the next round, then we can say all what we can say about them but for now, they are not good.

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.  

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.

as I said a few days ago that Bayern Munich currently does not have any problems except a very weak defense and we can see and compare from the start of the season Bayern Munich performance is very strong with big score wins without being able to concede in large numbers while Munich has reliable striker Kane who always contributes scores to win, but we see that currently he is conceding more often even though Kane often scores, but if the defenders are weak, it certainly won't be equivalent to the struggle of Kane who tries to score in every match.
this is the reason why some people might blame Tuchel because he is the one most responsible for Munich future and this time if there are no changes to the defense it is likely that he will fall in the quarter finals or even worse, he will not qualify against Lazio.

I was wondering whether this had something to do with the players being comfortable with Tuchel so it seemed like there was no enthusiasm from the Bayern Munich players even though there were no problems whatsoever happening at Bayern Munich at the moment.
Logically it doesn't make sense what is happening to Bayern Munich at the moment but I hope that this kind of bad performance will not last long.

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.

The UCL is one competition im Europe that has majorly teams who’ve done well and attain certain levels in their league that season qualifying for the elite competition. This competition is one that is loved by all and majorly won by the big money spenders who have invested a lot in their club. At the start of the competition each season, there are usually favorites to win the competition and this season wasn’t short of that. We had favorites and we had the likes of current holders, Man City, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern and the likes.

 Well in every competition as time goes in, we see teams surprisingly decline in performance and  that’s the story of Bayern and PSG. They’re supposed to be favorites but they’re currently playing like teams and for this reason no one is seeing them as a threat of any kind. These teams have also spent and invested heavily into club football like others but things went sour and I think the coach pattern wasn’t favorable especially for a team like Bayern. For PSG, I will say they’re quite okay with how they play as the less competition in the league isn’t making them worried at all.

 I think the major favorites are Man City and Real Madrid then we can look at the likes of Inter Milan and Arsenal especially as Arsenal are an improved and full of young blood but I think experience will have to come to play. Well this year’s edition will be filled with enough surprises and fun especially with the City and Madrid squad now getting complete. I’m majorly rooting for Real Madrid to get this title because they’re having a better team of the two.

[Blitzboy]

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 Manchester City and Real Madrid's final appearance is hyped, I think its too soon to dismiss other contenders. This final matchup is intriguing because City and Madrid are in great form. But football - especially the Champions League - is unpredictable. Bayern Munich and PSG are struggling, but they have the resources and potential to recover. Despite their current form, dont dismiss them.

Inter Milan and Barcelona, perennial underdogs, have proven they can compete with Europe's best. Inter's season has improved, and Barcelona remains a threat in Europe despite their ups and downs. The real test comes in the knockout stage, where a draw may finish any club. As much as I want a City-Madrid match, Im keeping an open mind.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

I don't think Bayern Munich can win the CL this season, the team just hasn't clicked under Tuchel and that is why the club is parting ways with him at the end of the season. From the looks of things, this might be a trophyless season for Bayern Munich, something that has not happened in a very long time. Having said that, Lazio have the lead in this tie going into the second leg, and despite the fact that the second leg is a home game for Bayern, i still consider Lazio favorites to qualify at this time, they know what they have to do in this second leg and if they execute it perfectly, they'll be the team to progress to the QF.

Bayern Munich needs much more hard work even for the Bundesliga and they are not even close to getting anything in the Champions League where there are some stronger and better teams than Leverkusen in this tournament. They even hired Tuchel who is an experienced and successful coach in the Chmapnis League but I don't think if that's going to work for them.
Even Tuchel is about to leave the team and that's why I think there is no hope for them for this tournament.
Instead, we can bet on other teams like Real Madrid for the Champions League title.

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.

Harry Kane's misfortune for Bayern Munich seems natural. But I don't think so. Firstly Harry Kane's performance was very good with Munich. And secondly, Munich's performance has been weak since the previous season. Munich's woes have started since the coach change. Munich's performances last season were erratic. They were very lucky to be able to win the title last season. I would say Thomas Tuchel is a complete failure with Bayern Munich. And Tuchel's failure is why Munich's performance is so poor.

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. 

Kane is trying his best to perform well. He has managed to score a lot of goals. Kane's overall performance is very good. If Kane doesn't perform well, we can blame Kane. But Munich's overall performance is poor. Bonding between players is also weak. The team did not perform well in the last match against Freiburg. In such a situation, the blame should not be placed solely on Kane.

Actually, I'm surprised at Bayern Munich, it's like we can't see what the problem is, it's like a mystery that's hard to solve, whereas if we blame Tuchel, even though Tuchel managed to make a good contribution last season, and if we blame the players, even though Bayern Munich's current players are very high quality without any shortcomings, even Harry Kane makes Bayern stronger at the moment but for some reason his performance is very bad.
I was wondering if this was just a drama that Tuchel was carrying out to give a surprising impression when he succeeded in the Champions League.
Almost all supporters are worried if Bayern fails in the Champions League and Bundesliga to win the title but I still have confidence that Bayern Munich will make it to the semi-finals.

Bayer Leverkusen are on their way to ensure they don't slide back but keep pushing forward on the table and also in matches, its a great achievement if they're able to win the Bundesliga title with unbeaten run. This is definitely the time for Xabi Alonso to implement every formidable strategies to win. What's the job of the Bavarians boss? Thomas Tuchel is not showing any good signs of improvement with the club, they're definitely going trophyless this season and it is huge frustration for them, Bayern Munich drawing ties with Freiburg is not encouraging.

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.

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.

Manchester City did not look strong. Manchester City are strong no doubt, but I think Manchester City are doing much better in the Premier League than the Champions League because I can see that they concur with many clubs there than here. Although I don't focus on the Champions League like Premier, Real Madrid are strong too. But seriously, I can’t predict between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid has shown some signs that they are ready for the title this season, to me, Inter Milan have been dominant throughout the season, so let's wait and see how the remaining matches will go. Maybe Inter Milan will remain dominant and no team will concur with them, so let's see how they will do.

Maybe Inter Milan will remain dominant and no team will concur with them, so let's see how they will do.

In fact Manchester City could have destroyed Copenhagen in the first leg by a much bigger goal difference.    Copenhagen must be really thankful for Grabara's great goalkeeping skills. His making many saves helped them not lose the game by an embarrassing score. However I don't know if even Grabara can save Copenhagen in the second leg. 

I liked Manchester City a lot in the Luton game they played a short time ago. Especially Haaland and De Bruyne were just marvelous!

As long as this duo is very productive I would always expect huge performances from Manchester City in every competition.

You are wrong. Tuchel also failed to achieve success last season, even though he managed to win the Bundesliga trophy, but if you look back at last season's Bundesliga, this trophy was indeed the result of an accident by the Dortmund team who failed to win in the last match. so that Bayern Munich automatically becomes Bundesliga champions. Not to mention, in the UCL League last season, under the old coach, Bayern Munich performed well, but when Tuchel arrived, Bayern Munich was immediately eliminated from the UCL League.

For this season Tuchel really failed miserably, in the Bundesliga he failed %100, in the UCL league I think they will also have difficulties because Bayern Munich's confidence is now decreasing, just look at the last match against Freiburg which can be said to be a weak team they only got results draw. Bayern Munich is currently experiencing critical times and this will continue until the end of the season. So I doubt they can make a comeback against Lazio in the second leg of the UCL league.

You don't need to write them all out yet because the champions league is yet decided and who knows what can happen as they can just within some time get the right formula and things will work out for them, when it comes to players they all have the players that can definitely do well atleast they have a world class striker on their team who can definitely deliver if the situation is right with him.

[Volgastallion]

This round only shows until now what all the people think before and this is, the only two serious contender are Real Madrid and Manchester city, like the past year, i dont see any other team in that level, maybe Inter again, but i dont think they can beat Manchester City or Real Madrid in a head to head.

[Ndabagi01]

While Manchester City and Real Madrid's final appearance is hyped, I think its too soon to dismiss other contenders. This final matchup is intriguing because City and Madrid are in great form. But football - especially the Champions League - is unpredictable. Bayern Munich and PSG are struggling, but they have the resources and potential to recover. Despite their current form, dont dismiss them.

Inter Milan and Barcelona, perennial underdogs, have proven they can compete with Europe's best. Inter's season has improved, and Barcelona remains a threat in Europe despite their ups and downs. The real test comes in the knockout stage, where a draw may finish any club. As much as I want a City-Madrid match, Im keeping an open mind.

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City will be one of the most entertaining Champions League finals to watch. But is this even possible? We could see a look-alike final match before the actual final, which will take place in the Champions League, similar to what happened last season.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City, which eliminated Real Madrid from the competition, was more akin to a final than the semifinals. The same thing could happen this season, and we won't be able to watch them meet in the finals.

Many other teams appear to be very capable of making it to the finals; without naming names, most of Europe's top teams are still in the competition and are likely to make it to the finals, aside from the two teams we expect to face in the finals.

After this stage, many teams will be noticed and the level of seriousness because teams like Arsenal and Bayern Munich be cause they also have good team that can compete for the Champions league together with Manchester City and Real Madrid.
Nonetheless, this second leg will give us the most hint on who to be the favorites because even Manchester City and Real Madrid can be surprised at any moment of the competition.

It's sad to see Liverpool failing to qualify for the champions league last season. If they where here, they'd have been an interesting option considering their recent form. The long gap makes the teams much different than what they were during qualification.
It's easy to predict most of the team reaching top 8 except for a few and top 8 is going to be the interesting one where even the large teams would fight with one another.
Surely Real Madrid are again the favorite. I don't think anyone could compete against them, both bayren munich and barcelona are having bad times, Manchester city and PSG too are not in their greatest and Inter milan too might not pose the threat to Real.

In my opinion, Bayern Munich and Arsenal can turn things around and qualify for the quarter-finals, even though in reality Lazio and Porto are holders of a 1 goal deficit. There is always room for surprises, and it could be that Bayern Munich and Arsenal are eliminated early. All the teams appearing in the Champions League are very serious about fighting to advance to the next round, including those who are not favorites such as Lazio and Porto. In terms of squad depth, Bayern Munich and Arsenal should have been able to beat their opponents in the first leg yesterday, but this failed to happen. The second chance must be utilized well, because it is the determination of their next journey.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are now the two teams most favored to win the trophy, and Bayern Munich is no longer on par with these two teams after appearing unstable recently. It could be that this season there will be another surprise team that will be able to reach the final round, like Inter Milan last season. It's true, everything will be answered by itself, we just need to wait first how the second leg will end. It would be a shame if Arsenal and Bayern Munich failed for the second time, and the squad depth they have cannot help them talk much in the Champions League this season.

Thomas Tuchel is not showing any good signs of improvement with the club, they're definitely going trophyless this season and it is huge frustration for them, Bayern Munich drawing ties with Freiburg is not encouraging.

It's not only going to be a great achievement but also a record because I think I'm a very long time this happens to to be one of such that a team will stay unbeaten and still win the bundesliga trophy even Bayern Munich who wins the trophy most often has not done it unbeaten in a very long time so Leverkusen is about to bring up a record which hasn't beeñ seen in the bundesliga in a very long time. The fact that the resilience of Bayer Leverkusen has brought about more competition to the German bundesliga is enough to even laude their efforts so far this season a d I'm very optimistic that even if they get to loose a single game later before the end of the season, they are most definitely going to win the trophy this season and Bayern Munich will have to try again next season.

Leipzig got a really impressive performance today and I must commend them because going form loosing a game to now winning with a very good difference in the score is such that deserves every commendation, although their opponents had a red card but then they still were at the top of the game.

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. 

What are you saying? I never thought you'd be one of these folks and user's writing such a thing. Arsenal haven't won the Champions League Competition since it was formed and since it came out, have you heard anything like they're a curse in the Premier League or the Champions League?
Y'all can do better, Harry Kane is not cursed you could use the word unlucky but not ones superstitious ditty believes.

People would definitely go ahead to talk about his performance but he has done extremely well this season.

When blames should be shown to Thomas Tuchel who is the management, and manager, they're busy doing what's never mandatory. Thomas Tuchel would be sacked and asked to leave if he doesn't have that good game coming up next during the nedy
