UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

If Man City solved all the questions in the last match, it will be a serious game for Madrid today... One goal has not decided anything yet, but of course at home Madrid must do everything possible to win... Not in vain bookmakers give odds on their win at 1.56, which in my opinion is not small... I think it will be a very interesting match...

The two matches in the UEFA Champions League are straightforward wins in favor of Manchester City and Real Madrid. Manchester City's odds of winning against Copenhagen are small, but I played Manchester City to win against Copenhagen in the first half, and Real Madrid to win Leipzig full-time.

Even though Manchester City managed to win big in the first leg with a score of 3-1 but yes, it seems that with Haaland big ambition to become the top scorer in the Champions League then maybe with these factors, Manchester City will still be targeting victory in the home match in this second leg. But about Real Madrid, because I consider the results they had in the group phase by only winning by a narrow score. So yes, maybe in this second leg even though Real Madrid is playing at home, I personally don't think there is any big ambition for Real Madrid to win this second leg with a big score.

Or maybe, it could be that Real Madrid only relies on aggregate wins and if that happens, then maybe a draw could occur in this match between Real Madrid v Leipzig. But yes, if for example Leipzig manages to score first then of course Real Madrid will also try to keep winning in this second leg, of course to ensure that Real Madrid qualify to the quarter-finals.

Real Madrid and Manchester City both lead on aggregate in the first leg 1-0 and 3-1. As home teams, Manchester City and Real Madrid are the two favorite teams to win the match where their probability of winning is very high compared to Copenhage and Leipzig. There is no doubt about them which means the two favorites will progress to the quarter-finals following Bayern Munich and PSG.

The match will probably be tough between Real Madrid vs Leipzig, that's because I still think Leipzig will fight in this second leg to qualify for the next round. Leipzig played well at home despite losing 0-1, but today they will definitely do their best in the away match which in the end must be anticipated by Real Madrid. Of course Real Madrid has prepared a good plan ahead of this match, but surprises in the end may not be completely avoidable.

Maybe these two favorite clubs have been guaranteed to qualify for the next round, but the problem that is difficult to predict is only the score that Manchester City will score because they have a higher aggregate score so it is likely that they will score in large numbers at home. alone or just won't waste much effort and score 2 scores and survive not to concede and win on a higher aggregate score.
My doubts are based on placing a bet on this match because if I bet on Manchester City winning I will only get small odds but if I bet on Manchester City -2 I am worried that Manchester City will only score 2 scores and Copenhagen will score and that means the bet will lose.

For Real Madrid, maybe betting on victory has decent odds, but of course Real Madrid will have a bit of a difficult match because Leipzig will definitely provide resistance that can make it difficult for Ancelotti's troops to score, but I won't worry that at least 2 scores will be scored by Real Madrid.

[bitpotter]

No matter what Leipzig do, we already know who this is gonna end sadly, Real Madrid in Champions League is something more, they are not only the king of this competition but also they are the god, always finding goals from nowhere.

So for me today is easy Real Madrid and Manchester City wins their games, one in a easy match and the other in a more work hard one.

It seems that there will be no competition in today's matches. The real excitement will begin after this elimination. We can say that Manchester City is more comfortable than Real Madrid. In the rematch, Real Madrid needs to take control of the match and not concede a goal. Let's see what kind of game order they will take to the field.

As you know, Real Madrid is a team that likes to come back, but this is not always guaranteed, so they should not fall behind when they have the advantage in this match.

Manchester City can move freely anywhere because they are already quite ahead of Copenhagen on aggregate and playing at home will make them even more comfortable. This time Real Madrid must be alert because Leipzig will not just give up and even though this is an away match for Leipzig it will not make their mentality waver. On the other hand, for Real Madrid this is a demand to win because there is no way they will not qualify for the round of 16. Everything becomes clear when Real Madrid can score lots of goals.

Remember Manchester City are hosting Copenhagen and you know how good Manchester City is right now, all their key players are around and again they have high chances of winning, I really understand what you are saying but Manchester City are one of the strongest team in champions league that people are expecting them to lift the trophy, I advise Copenhagen to save their strength for their home league to get to the top.

Real Madrid are not as balanced as Manchester City because 1-0 in Leipzig home is not okay for them to relax because anything can happen and that will be the end for them, Real Madrid have the potential or what it takes to win this match but still Real Madrid have to be careful because even at Red Bull Arena they played 50/50 ball possession.

Because Manchester City is ahead 3-1 on aggregate, one thing we might think about in this match is that Pep Guardiola will rotate several players to prevent injury and fatigue ahead of the match against Liverpool in the Premier League in the next few days. I think you can see the line-up now.

For Real Madrid, maybe betting on victory has decent odds, but of course Real Madrid will have a bit of a difficult match because Leipzig will definitely provide resistance that can make it difficult for Ancelotti's troops to score, but I won't worry that at least 2 scores will be scored by Real Madrid.

Yes, I'm sure this will be a difficult match for Real Madrid. However, considering that Real Madrid is playing at home, things might be very different compared to the first leg. There was a change in strategy that Ancelotti played in this match, I mean Bellingham was played as a striker in this match accompanying Vinicius and Federico Valverde was played in Bellingham's position as an attacking midfielder.

WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS TWO MATCHES.

[Obim34]

Bayern Munich played very well in the match and we expected such to happen as Bayern is a big club that is known to deal with opponents like 4 to nail, 6 to nail or something similar so securing 3 to nail victory should be something casual and they should put more effort and creativity cause it's getting tough in the league.

Tuchel is a good coach, I was even disappointed seeing him go out of Chelsea if only he was giving enough time, Chelsea would not have been at this lowest of where they are.

Tuchel is indeed a good coach. He just has to be given time to build a club so that it gets better as time goes by. because Tuchel is not the type of coach who immediately makes quick changes to a club. But he always built the club slowly and surely. But unfortunately it wasn't just Chelsea who was in a hurry to fire Tuchel. Now Bayern is also reported to have made an agreement that their collaboration with Tuchel will end sooner, namely until the end of this season. I don't know if it's just a rumor or if it's real. But the news has spread quite widely.

Bayern managed to beat Lazio quite well. And revenge with 3 goals is the best revenge. With this, Bayern is now ready to face a stronger team in the quarter-finals.

It is very much a bad thing for them waking up on a morning and firing coaches. Coaches are there to manage players with different styles of playing, making them all work together to secure victory and I think they deserve more time to do that unlike players who can easily adapt. I think for Chelsea firing Tuchel is their worst mistake and they still reaping from the consequences.

Tomas tuchel has never been a bad coach to me, even though his Bayern Munich team aren't living up to expectations, what I sense about all this is that this set of players are struggling to adapt to his playing style, unlike psg and Chelsea that got adapted to his playing pattern easily, so I just feels like in this current situation at Bayern Munich, a change is needed, not because of incompetence, but because the both parties are not compatible.

And as for Chelsea sacking Tomas tuchel, it was the biggest mistake they ever made, because no coach understand the team more than him, in recent times, but I believe that since he is leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season, he wouldn't stay long, and  he is actually going to get another good job, because he is a top class coach.

I feel really sorry for him, with the whole level of firing in whatever team he finds himself makes him look very unfortunate despite his good coaching skills. Everything works with time, humans are bound to changes which we must adapt to and it only takes a while to do so, I am wondering why the haste of them trying to sack him, who knows if the next might be worst, similar to what Chelsea is suffering recently.

Bundesliga is a tough league but when it comes toe UEFA Champions League, a home for elite teams to display their very best. Thomas Tuchel becomes promising for the club as soon as he's given a deadline to win. That's the moment he bounces back to incredible form and start winning matches as usual. Bayern Munich humbles Lazio at Allianz Arena and this is great news for the club. They sealed another spot in the UCL and good news for the club. Moreover, there's no such thing as a second chance for coaches that have witnessed the up and down time of clubs.

[Gencecikmen]

Yesterday, there were UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches round second leg. Paris St Germain, a comfortable 2-1 win away to Real Sociedad in their last-16 second leg that total 4-1 aggregate victory. Kylian Mbappe scored twice and Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino netted a consolation goal in the 89th minute with a deflected strike.

Bayern Munich lost 1-0 to Lazio in the first round and beat them 3-0 in the second round. This means, Bayern Munich sealed their place in the Champions League quarter-finals. Victory means Bayern have reached the Champions League quarter-finals in 12 of the last 13 seasons.

Manchester City rotated a lot of players in the second leg, perhaps they knew that they could maintain that aggregate without too much risk. Pep Guardiola apparently wanted to prepare his squad optimally against Liverpool so he rotated in the second leg of the Champions League when they were already leading 3-1 on aggregate. There are risks, of course, but he can make changes if his plan doesn't go smoothly in the first half.

Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Nathan Ake, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are on the bench, but I think some of them will be used in the second half. Haaland continues to be played as the main striker, he is supported by Alvarez as an attacking midfielder and also Oscar Bobb and Matheus Nunes on the wings. A draw or a narrow 1-0 win is enough, but because of the quality of Manchester City's players I think they can score more than 2 goals today at home.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are playing home game and it's going to be a finishing games for these two teams. Leipzig can't come to Santiago to come humiliate Real Madrid, not the kind of team I expect such from and since this is a knockout celebration, Real Madrid can do it today and same goes with Manchester City in Etihad.

My only concern with this two teams, Real Madrid and Manchester City aren't supposed to be in the same place, tye last time these two teams faced each other in the Champions League, Real Madrid finished Manchester City despite been in good form, I don't want such humiliation should happen again even though some people don't want Manchester City to win the cup for this season.

i hope These two teams cannot meet in the quarter-finals. Because last season's history could repeat itself. But if these two teams ultimately meet in the quarter-finals then I think Man City will still be the favorite. Because Man City's performance is still the same as last season even though there have been changes in their midfield which were left behind by Gundogan.
For today's match, betting on Manchester City and Real Madrid will indeed be the choice of the majority of us, including myself. And with the position of host, nothing should be able to stop Real Madrid and Manchester City in today's match. And as expected, Manchester City is currently 2 goals ahead. And maybe there will be more goals in today's match.

Remember Manchester City are hosting Copenhagen and you know how good Manchester City is right now, all their key players are around and again they have high chances of winning, I really understand what you are saying but Manchester City are one of the strongest team in champions league that people are expecting them to lift the trophy, I advise Copenhagen to save their strength for their home league to get to the top.

Even though Copenhagen seems formidable tonight, I doubt they stand a chance against Manchester City in today's match when I consider their recent performances. Even if Manchester City hasn't fielded all their star players, it'll still be incredibly challenging for Copenhagen to emerge victorious. While luck might favor Copenhagen, at best, they might secure a draw, but the prospect of actually defeating Manchester City seems highly unlikely to me. Despite Copenhagen's strengths, Manchester City's overall prowess and form make them a formidable opponent, casting doubt on Copenhagen's ability to secure a win in tonight's match.

Real Madrid are not as balanced as Manchester City because 1-0 in Leipzig home is not okay for them to relax because anything can happen and that will be the end for them, Real Madrid have the potential or what it takes to win this match but still Real Madrid have to be careful because even at Red Bull Arena they played 50/50 ball possession.

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory in their initial encounter with Leipzig, but this outcome doesn't necessarily reflect poorly on their abilities. Instead, it underscores the formidable nature of Leipzig, a team currently enjoying a period of impressive form. In fact, I'm so convinced of Leipzig's strength that I believe they could even overcome Copenhagen in a match-up. However, the true test lies in today's game, where the unfolding events will reveal whether Real Madrid can maintain their lead or if Leipzig's prowess will ultimately prevail. Let's await the outcome with anticipation and see how the match unfolds.

Manchester City will host Copenhagen at home.City will be comfortable in this match as they won the first leg 3-1 against Copenhagen.It's a bit difficult for Copenhagen to make the round after this time but they will still take their chances because they have nothing to lose.

In just a short time, Manchester City was leading 2-0. Not even ten minutes into the match, Alvarez has become a frightening player for FC Kobenhavn.
The situation at the Etihad Stadium has now left Kobenhavn with no hope and must be satisfied with accepting reality. It's not difficult, but Kobenhavn's struggle in the Champions League is over because of Manchester City's great play.

The most important match today will be between Real Madrid and Leipzig.Leipzig lost 1-0 at home to Real Madrid in the first leg, which reduced their chances of qualifying, but they can win this away game.I don't expect Real Madrid to lose, but I think it will be a tough match for both teams.

It's still a draw now. Ancelotti played his best squad to make Real Madrid secure tickets to the next round.
From Real Madrid's form of play in the first 20 minutes of the first half, it was not difficult for Real Madrid to win this match even though Bellingham and Vinicus were still looking for opportunities to score in the first half.
Real Madrid controls almost 75% of the game now but no goals have been scored. Maybe at the end of the first half they can do it.

[bitzizzix]

In less than 10 minutes of the match, Manchester City had scored 2 goals against Copenhagen, and these goals were created by Manuel Akanji in the 5th minute and Julian Alvarez in the 9th minute.
It looks like it will be an easy match for Manchester City in this second leg, and the 5-1 aggregate makes it difficult for Copenhagen to turn things around and this will be a goal party for Manchester City considering their squad is very different.

It seems that what you said about Leipzig is true. I see this team can almost match Real Madrid's game. Even though Real Madrid had more possession of the ball, we can see that Real Madrid players had difficulty getting into the Leipzig defense area. And in fact Leipzig seemed to find it easier to enter Real Madrid's defense area.
For the Manchester City vs Copenhagen match, I have finished watching it because I think there we can see who will be the winner. Well Manchester City will definitely qualify. So seeing a match that is definitely won doesn't feel that important anymore. So I prefer to focus on watching the Real Madrid vs Leipzig match now. But I actually have concerns about Real Madrid's current performance.

[Stepstowealth]

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are playing home game and it's going to be a finishing games for these two teams.

Expected to be easy games for.the favourites to win. Any result less than a win for the two team Manchester City and Real Madrid will be disappointing. The coaches of these two teams can decide to take off some of their key players because qualification is already assured for them. Pep already rested the likes of KDB for this game because of Manchester City next tough game against Liverpool in the premier league.  For Ancelloti, Jude Bellingham will not be rested because of the suspension he has picked up in the La Liga.

[MinoRaiola]

Alvarez and Akanji scored 2 goals in a few minutes and now it is 5:1 total with the first game. It should be a bit more boring now and City maybe change several players to give them a rest. Guardiola will do that in the second half, i think hell risk it earlier. Copenhagen can maybe score a goal at the end of the game and than be eliminated from the champions league. I think Real Madrid will score 1-2 goals today in the second game. So as soon as they score the first goal, leipzig will have to risk more and then there is a higher chance that real madrid will make it to the quarterfinals with a good chance.
