UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Abu-Naim]

Real Madrid had defense issues Ann they're yet to solve that completely, as for Vinicius Junior, he should have been red carded for holding that player by his neck, that's not part of the rules of the game and should be looked at for further suspension. I'm afraid that will not happen, these officials tend to be bias lately. Glad they was able to secure themselves the move to the quarter finals. For now we await the results from next week before the next matchup of clubs.

Yes Real Madrid has little defensive errors yesterday which could have lead them to a defeat yesterday, but RB Leipzig attackers were not smart enough to score goals for the team which is why the match ended in a draw, but with their team performance yesterday, they deserve to win Real Madrid.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid was lucky to play a draw yesterday in which they qualified with an aggregate score of 2-1 because of the one goal they scored in the first leg.

Vinicius showed some immaturity in the game which deserves punishment, but the yellow card given was OK for the match because a Red Card might spoil the game pattern. He should be trained well to behave well in the pitch because this act has now becoming used to him as usual.

Same Copenhagen that did make life difficult for Manchester United and also Bayern Munich even if Munich got to to finally win the game from.the group stage. This shows hoe much Manchester City are way above aome clubs.
I agree with the face that goals should have exceeded that number. But good win as they prepare for Liverpool at Anfield during the weekend.

Manchester City is among the favorites teams to win the Champions League and their performance proves it because they defeated a team that suffered Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the group stage, and this qualification to knockout stage they did is a sign that they will do well in the competition and maybe they will win it again this season.

Yes, Manchester City and Liverpool qualified for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League as we expected, and there was no upset. In the second set of the UEFA Champions League's last 16 matches, there can be an upset because some clubs almost have the same strength in this second set. 

It seems like you are too enthusiastic in saying this that you forget that in the Champions League this season there are no Liverpool teams except Manchester City. Because this season Liverpool are only playing in the European League apart from their own Premier League and the European League itself has not yet entered the quarter-finals because they still have to go through the round of 16 for the second leg. So if you are talking about the Champions League this season, it's better not to think about Liverpool because that team is not here.

[SmartCharpa]

I predicted an easy win for Real Madrid against the Red Bull team in the 2nd leg in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the top team in La Liga while Leipzig is struggling in Bundesliga but the game between them were completely different from what I expected. It's not a 1-1 draw because of a lucky or counter offensive goal, Leipzig was playing better than Real Madrid in most of it. Real Madrid did win the knockout due to lead in Red Bull Arena. They were thought to favourite team for the Champions league title but now they seem to be defeatable.
On another knockout Manchester City defeated the Copenhagen as expected.

It was a big surprised that Real Madrid draw their second leg at home. After Real Madrid has a narrow win in their first meeting, i did not expect Real Madrid to draw at home. Because Real Madrid is playing at home and they are still doing better than their opponent, while Leipzig struggled to win their league games. I also picked Real Madrid to win. Since many bettors picked Real Madrid as the favorite to win the game, they will be very disappointed with the outcome of the game. Leipzig beat Real Madrid in this match and put more pressure on them than we expected. Real Madrid's one goal in the first leg gave them a chance to advance to the next round.

Real Madrid's performance in the round of sixteen was weak; they will need to improve in the next round, because if they face strong opponent like Manchester city in the next round and play like they did against Leipzig, they will eliminate them from the Champions League, we see Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the Champions League this season.

I dont want to quote myself, but before the game yesterday i already said what is gonna happen in the Real Madrid Leipzig game, and that was the LUCK of Real Madrid in this tournament is inexhaustible, no matter what you do they always had that luck on their side, Leipzig yesterday derserve the win by far, but that doesnt come.

[dezoel]

Bayern Munich showed that they have big potential against Lazio and that something is stopping them to show their best performance(I don't if it's Tuchel or something else).

Well, I actually expected this one, the second leg to be close. But it was not the case. Bayern Munich was able to perform really well and really did not face any big problems in this one. I actually thought Lazio would be able to give a lot of problems to Bayern Munich because you know they had an advantage going into the second leg. But Bayern was ready for that. They have absolutely dominated the match and did not give Lazio any chance.

Actually, Harry Kane must have to perform well if Bayern Munich wants to win any match. And that's what happened. Harry Kane was able to score a brace for himself. Muller scored the other one. So Kane has to be fit to keep their consistency.

Teams are having ups and downs but giving all reviews about them in negative is never been ideal with Bayern Munich is surely suffering bad time which needs time for having changes but in this game things were at the top, and they never allow Lazio team to hit anything good which was amazing and with this result no things are taking good changes about their performance in coming matches even they are having no chance into Bundesliga but their chances for the Champions League are still high, and they can manage better performance in last few matches as well.

Harry Kane is surely one of the best striker in UEFA, and currently he is leading the top scorers list in Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League as well which is amazing hopefully now negativity about him will be also ended as many were talking his move to Bayern Munich is not good deal, but he is doing his job perfectly.

The facts concerning the game was simple, Real Madrid didn't put in much effort because they were confident enough of holding down Leipzig that was desperate for a win. Looking at the game, Real Madrid dominated the game fulltime but failed to make good use of their goal attempts, the exact same thing happen to RB Leipzig, they were very straight and aiming for a winning but it didn't plan out. You don't expect RB Leipzig to come over to Santiago Bernabéu and expects a winning for the visitors. It doesn't work like that because Real Madrid are elite team and they always move to achieved greater results.

Actually I partially agree with the first  top five teams, but I don't actually think arsenal is better than inter Milan, so in my opinion, inter Milan should had been ahead of them, and of a truth, this arsenal team is quite good, but we need to understand that experience is an important player after quality in a competition like this, and Arsenal we all know have that tendency of not being reliable in major competition especially in the champions league and I don't really sees them going as far as the semi final stage of this competition, because experience is very important, and that is what this particular arsenal team lack.

It looks like I would also rule out Arsenal and replace them with Inter in 4th place and then PSG in 5th place. There is no harm in letting Arsenal fill position 6 with its performance so far and it does not rule out the possibility of providing different competition. It all depends on how determined a team like Arsenal is to make history.

The 4 big teams are waiting in the quarter-finals, one of them, like Barcelona and Napoli, who played to a draw, had to use all their energy in Leg 2. Inter clearly had to bet harder at home to Atletico Madrid because this was a difficult task to come out with 3 points. Dortmund vs PSV, maybe 50:50, is not the candidate you expect to be in the semifinals.

I feel like Manchester City is the only one that matters. But to be fair Arsenal is doing fine too, not like they are doing all that bad. Inter is definitely great, and I understand why putting them there would make sense and I understand that it is going to be quite entertaining to see something like that. But that doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with anything major there. We are going to see Arsenal or Inter failing to win anyway, and City will probably win it all.

So when you think of it like that, other teams do not really feel like they mean anything. This is of course not true for anyone who wants to bet on those teams, but that's not really going to be something all that simple to many people in the end.

In the last sixteen matches, Leipzig fought well against Real Madrid on Real Madrid's home ground and even though they were defeated, they were respected. Belligham easily took the ball to the goal in the Real Madrid counter attack and made the assist, Real Madrid played his own game against Vinicius JR against Leipzig.

The second half was quite exciting, both teams made a lot of attempts and tried to create intense pressure. Even though Leipzig brought balance to the match, this was not enough and the eliminated side was Leipzig.

[Jegileman]

The expected results happened last night. M.City and Real Madrid are the two favorite teams of this cup, nobody thought that they would be eliminated here. Let's see which teams will match.

Yes, Manchester City and Liverpool qualified for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League as we expected, and there was no upset. In the second set of the UEFA Champions League's last 16 matches, there can be an upset because some clubs almost have the same strength in this second set.

I think you are referring to real Madrid, because it was real Madrid and Manchester City that qualified from yesterday matches. Though real Madrid survived that encounter as it wasn't really easy for them. I was thinking real Madrid was going to score many goals in that game but it wasn't what I expected. Madrid struggled to score and when they finally scored Leipzig responded with their own. At a point I was thinking Madrid were going to lose that match. Thanks to the first leg result that helped Madrid qualify for the next round. Manchester City on the other hand did a clean job and progressed to the next round as well.

Yesterday was about to turn to a night of horror for Real Madrid and their fans but they should be lucky with their first leg result that gave them a better chance of qualifying for the next round of the competition. Leipzig which everyone thought they are not going to be any problem to Real Madrid yesterday are one of the best teams in the Bundesliga and as such, they should not have been disregarded so easily for not been able to win Real Madrid or give them a difficult time to prevail against them that yesterday. Real Madrid needs to be better prepared for their next clash because it would not be any easier than this one they played yesterday. All the best teams in Europe have qualified for the next round with more of them coming next week too. If they think yesterday's match was a bit difficult for them, they should be more prepared for the next round or they will see themself been eliminated from the competition sooner than expected.

The second half was quite exciting, both teams made a lot of attempts and tried to create intense pressure. Even though Leipzig brought balance to the match, this was not enough and the eliminated side was Leipzig.

But indeed, at least Leipzig didn't lose at the Santiago Bernabeu and it was still a good result even though Leipzig were eliminated in the end because after all, Real Madrid is still in good performance this season. But yes, because Leipzig elimination from the Champions League will of course allow Leipzig to focus more on the Bundesliga standings because Leipzig are still in competition for fourth place with Dortmund there. But regarding the statistics in this match or in the second leg, even though Leipzig couldn't get ball possession, but Leipzig was better in other statistics. That way, it can be said that Leipzig is still having a good performance at this moment so yes, this also makes it difficult for Real Madrid to beat Leipzig because the aggregate win for Real Madrid is only 2-1.

[giammangiato]

Smooth sailing for Man City. Copenhagen just wasn't a match for them, the Danish team is not in its peak form, even in their league they lost 3 out of the last 5 games.

City is a massive favourite to win the Champions League. Odds are as follows:



Of course this will change after next week's 2nd leg games are completed. I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal moved to the top spot. They are having an absolutely great time in the Premier League, scoring an average of 4.8 goals per game in their last 5 league games. And that's including defeating Liverpool 3-1.

ahaha Napoli given at 101 makes me laugh a lot I must say, they reported this post to me with these odds!!

Regarding Manchester City, in my opinion the odds are correct and very strong, Pep Guardiola did an absolutely excellent job, in my opinion they win the Champions League with their eyes closed.

[redsun114]

We have two favorites for the UCL this season and that’s City and Madrid. If we should use the performance of both teams yesterday to get the winner of the UCL then I feel City will be winning this trophy again. Real Madrid were shitty yesterday and I sincerely don’t know who to blame, but I pass much of the blame on Ancelotti because of his tactics. Though to an extent the tactics proved to get the equalizer goal though.

 But I think the team would have done better with it’s usual tactics rather than coming to try out what could have caused them Quater Final spot. Liepzig were very good in their press and controlled the game well and looked very serious. I think Ancelotti was just trying out something as I feel I should make this excuse for him and he shouldn’t be dumb to try out same formation in the Quater Final stage as in this stage, there are more serious teams who are determined and mean big time business. Jude is very good in the midfield and should be allowed to enjoy his football there rather than using him as a false 9.

 Real Madrid were known to qualify despite their poor performance as many including me still see them winning the UCL this season as they’ve got a good and young squad with very well and highly determined players. Ancelotti needs to go back to his usual formation as that would help him take on teams easily rather than trying out errors that could cause the team in the long run.

No one should think that Manchester city played a small or weaker team in there QF yesternite. It was a deserved win for them I must say and no other prediction would make sense without considering this English side for a final with a worthy side.  They may just be champions again because they already perform that way in all their remaining matches across all leagues.

Real Madrid sure did well to help counter my betting predictions for yesterday's game and am not happy even though they made it out on aggregate scores. I doubt such team would give Manchester city much headache if they get to meet for a face off in the UCL finals.

After having first leg result things were looking something from Manchester City because we all are well aware about their journey into Premier League where now they are going to face Liverpool and Arsenal in two coming big matches so they have done good strategy and have their better players safe with too many injuries are hitting which are creating problems for the clubs but their result again same which is surely impressive from their bench power which is also now at this peak and can take charge at any time.

Real Madrid is surely perform not good specially as their margin was also narrow into first game and now things are looking some shaky because injuries can create problems for them and with now time is also challenging with their big games need all their players fully fit hopefully we will have their best side in coming matches for their best results as well.

[barbara44]

This result ruined many people's bets, so it's understandable that they're disappointed. Madrid's winning streak has ended, but it doesn't mean their chances are gone. However, Real Madrid's disappointing performance makes me think that if Leipzig had a decent striker, they could have won both legs. Leipzig played well across both legs but were wasteful in front of goal. They only have themselves to blame.

There is no doubt too many punters suffer, but one thing is also understandable result like this was expected because after having narrow win now they need to be on level, and they play like this with now things are going competitive and Real Madrid is also having injuries issue so they were also avoiding any aggression which bring more problems for them near the end of this season now they are set for the another last eight round which is impressive because with their current quality level we are sure we will have them into better spot even mostly are thinking they can win another double.

RB Leipzig was also at this best in this game after losing at home, and they try their best for the comeback but experience and quality of the Real Madrid with Carlos Ancelotti tactics never allow them for having anything good, but hopefully we will have them better in next season.

I dont want to quote myself, but before the game yesterday i already said what is gonna happen in the Real Madrid Leipzig game, and that was the LUCK of Real Madrid in this tournament is inexhaustible, no matter what you do they always had that luck on their side, Leipzig yesterday derserve the win by far, but that doesnt come.

After Real Madrid narrowly defeated Leipzig in the first leg of their round of 16 game in the UEFA Champions League competition, I had predicted that they're going to easily beat their opponents in the second leg of the tie but little did I know that the Spanish giants are going to struggle in the game and even had to settle for a draw. Real Madrid's result yesterday I don't think is a matter of luck rather they weren't just fortunate to score goals in that match because Real Madrid were simply the better team in that match

[TheGreatPython]

I think that you are saying this because you are an Arsenal fan, and you just wish that your dream should come true. Will it be possible for Arsenal to survive till the final stage..i doubt it. Arsenal might be winning weak clubs with a lot of goal in EPL, but I don't think that they can ever try that in UCL. From history, Arsenal is poor in UCL matches, and they easily get kicked out from the quarter final stage.

If it happens that Arsenal should come in clash with Real Madrid before the finals, then take it that Arsenal is out of the league, because when it comes to quarter finals to the finals, if you are not very strong, and I don't think that Arsenal players are strong, enough to win Real Madrid. You cannot use the performance of a club in their local league to judge their performance in UCL.

Comparing teams is currently not possible even things are at his peak with their performance but still few are suffering due to injuries but giving their best and few are now emerging as their quality and performance level is surely at new highs like we have Arsenal which is surely having their best time in 2024 just lost one game against Porto and in other games they are giving amazing stuff and Real Madrid is also having top spot in La Liga and their performance in Champions League is also at the top even they have draw at home against Leipzig but still they are capable of having their best in this season.

If we have match between these two surely this could be one of the best game due to both teams quality and youngsters performance but still any result is possible even you are talking Real Madrid can kick out Arsenal, but I have feeling they are good but on match day performance any result is possible, and any team can win even Real Madrid is well favourite for the win against Arsenal.

Even though Real Madrid and Leipzig still meet again, Real Madrid will still beat them to achieve victory from the game because they are capable to beat any team to continue progress till they reach the final battle to prove their ability to people that they can make it happen again.

The most important thing from that game is that Real Madrid Cross round of 16 to another level which is the joy Real Madrid fans had yesterday because, many people thought the game will going to end up for the favour of their opponent but what they saw in some minutes to the end of the game made them celebrate Real Madrid players for the victory.

Of course Real Madrid is a better team than Leipzig, but the quality of both games was equal in yesterday's match. Leipzig had a big lead in the second leg if you look at the game statistics, but they were unlucky in terms of taking advantage of opportunities even though they were also able to equalize at 1-1 within 3 minutes after Vinicius scored.

Good squad depth and high experience as kings of the Champions League ultimately enabled Real Madrid to make Leipzig's struggle fail. Real Madrid's defense is good, that also includes Lunin's performance as a goalkeeper. Of course, this is a success worth celebrating because basically it is never easy for Real Madrid to qualify for the quarter-finals.

[Gencecikmen]

Yesterday, there were UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches round second leg. Real Madrid edged into the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals following a 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in total 2-1 success on aggregate last 16 second-leg encounter at the Bernabeu. Leipzig pushed hard late on but could not find the goal to force extra time. Real booked their spot in their 20th times UEFA Champions League quarter-final.

Manchester City eased into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals as they matched their 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen 6-2 on aggregate. Erling Haaland hits 41st UEFA Champions League goal.

The success of Real Madrid and Manchester City in qualifying for the quarter-finals was actually predicted since the draw for the round of 16. Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the 4 favorite teams who have finally proven that they can qualify for the quarter-finals. The Real Madrid vs Leipzig match was certainly very tight compared to the other 3 matches played by the 3 favorites, but in the end Real Madrid escaped even though they only drew in the second leg.

People might be surprised by Leipzig's performance in the round of 16 because they really were a team that troubled Real Madrid over the two legs. Leipzig was not only good in the first leg, but they also played well in the second leg even though they were playing at the Bernabeu. Now the 4 favorite teams have qualified, so it's time to wait for the other 4 teams who will play matches next week.

I think more precisely Real Madrid could have won and the advantage of playing at home was not maximized properly. The match ended in a 1-1 draw and if Real Madrid had not gone ahead in the first leg then things would have been even more difficult. Leipzig were very serious about being able to reverse the aggregate at the Santiago Bernabeu and in fact they could be said to be the ones who controlled the match the most. Real Madrid's defense is also often passed easily and this is work that must be paid attention to in order to become more reliable in more difficult matches.
