UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Barikui1]

Arsenal vs Bayren Munich
This is a hard one to predict. They have been quite different from the last time they met. I'll bet on Bayren Munich as German playing style dominates over English.

I don’t think the German physical style of football is superior to English style of play. Bayern Munich are not looking so good this season. But on the other hand, Bayern Munich have the history, they have the experience, the players, and a manager Thomas Tuchel who has won the champions league before. It’s not impossible that they might beat Arsenal in the quarter final.

We have to turn too far by looking at the head to head of the two teams during this time which last happened in 2017 when Munich won 10-2 on aggregate from Arsenal and maybe we can see how helpless Arsenal were at that time when it had to face the Bundesliga giants, Arsenal did have a bad trend when it had to face teams from Germany, especially Bayern Munich because the strength of the two teams was much different at that time,  From head to head both teams, Bayern Munich has an advantage compared to Arsenal so far.

But I think we today cannot make the story 7 years ago just to scare the Arsenal fans now, 7 years ago we realized how Bayern Munich became a great force in Europe but I think this season they are no longer that strong, facing Munich of course will still be difficult but I think Arsenal this season has a greater ability to beat Munich,  Bayern Munich's declining performance in the league may be used by Arsenal who are currently in high confidence because they are at the top of the Premier League standings, I personally see maybe Arsenal will be able to beat Bayern Munich later with a thin aggregate goal.

In the history of the uefa champions league, the most important thing a team must have to fight till the very end is experience and quality,  and if you look at this arsenal side, they have the quality but they lack experience, that's where I think Bayern Munich would use to edge them of this quarter finals encounter.

If you look at arsenal performance in the past few games in the champions league, and especially against fc Porto, they were a bit shaky, I believe that, that is what lack of experience does, when in a major tournament like the uefa champions league, so I believe that their lack of experience will cost them this game against Bayern Munich, besides Bayern Munich is not a team to underate regardless of their performance recently.

I actually do not want to remember the last meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City,  it is scary on the side of Real Madrid.

Even I didn't forget, but hopefully tomorrow will be different. Although I feel Madrid are a bit weaker because some of the main players are injured. I think it's an early Final that I hope they will meet in the championship decider. If I think for this first game to happen at the Bernabeu, Madrid have to be able to score as many goals as possible. Their 2nd leg will be le London and it's scary. Last season they lost 4-0.

It's very unlikely to happen. Madrid has Vini, but remember that the city also has the fastest player in the world, Kyle Walker. Vini will only be pocketed by Walker, and Real Madrid will struggle in their upcoming match against Manchester City. Madrid has an advantage because the first game will be away, but the downside is that it will face Manchester City.
It's not a good situation for Vini because he will be completely stopped by Kyle Walker. Walker outperforms Vini in every way, beginning with his physical abilities and speed. Walker is too skilled to face Vini. He repeatedly pocketed Vini.
My favorite Manchester City player, with 100 percent speed and defense. One of the best right backs in the world.

Yes, it is absolutely undeniable that Bayern Munich is very experienced in this tournament. Historically, Die Roten deserves to be favored, they have players and coaches who also have brilliant experience, even though recently they have experienced a decline in performance.

Arsenal does not have a brilliant history, their best achievement was only reaching the finals in 2006 and being defeated by Barcelona. But even though they are not the favorites, I see something different about them this season, the Gunners already have quite experienced players, meaning their squad is no longer filled with young players with little experience. I predict Arteta's troops will make things difficult for Tuchel's troops.

The quarterfinal matchup between Arsenal and Bayern Munich is one of the best in champions league football that I have seen thus far. Although it is obvious that Bayern Munich is not as strong as they were in previous seasons, that doesn't mean Arsenal can't win; Bayern Munich is a formidable opponent in the champions league. On the other hand, Arsenal struggles mightily against its opponents in the premier league. We should also be aware that Arsenal struggles to defeat Porto, so how can they defeat Bayern Munich? Arsenal games used to be difficult because Bayern Munich consistently outscored Arsenal in every encounter.

Barcelona vs. PSG is another match that promises to be very exciting to watch. This is because Dembele will be facing his official teammates, who have called him a betrayer for moving to PSG when Barcelona needed him. I would like him to score in the match so that Barcelona will feel even more pain and regret for making such a statement about him. The only other match that I can think of where the draw feature went wrong is Real Madrid vs. Manchester City. Real Madrid faced Manchester City only the season before, and Real Madrid was eliminated by Manchester City because of their poor performance. This season, I don't think Manchester City will easily defeat Real Madrid.

The Champions League is always one of the toughest football leagues to witness, and this time around is no different. We've got some very interesting fixtures in the quarter-finals, with virtually all the clubs that have reached this stage performing exceptionally well in their respective leagues. However, Dortmund has not really performed up to par, and Manchester and Atletico Madrid have also struggled in their leagues.

Interestingly, Arsenal will be playing against Bayern Munich, with Arsenal leading the Premier League table standings this season, while Bayern Munich holds the second position in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund will face Atletico Madrid, with Dortmund in fourth position in the Bundesliga standings and Atletico Madrid also in fourth position in La Liga this season. The fixture matchups are quite intriguing.

Paris Saint-Germain FC, the current leaders of Ligue 1, will face Barcelona FC, who are third in La Liga. Historically, Barcelona has had the upper hand over PSG, but PSG's strong performance this season suggests a potential shift. Lastly, Manchester City will face Real Madrid, who lead the league this season, while Manchester City is third in the Premier League. It's uncertain whether this would give an edge to Real Madrid over Manchester City.

Considering the current performances of these clubs in their respective leagues, one could deduce that Arsenal may win over Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid may win over Manchester City. The match between Atletico Madrid and Dortmund could end in a draw, with high chances for either team to advance to the semifinals. PSG also has a good chance of winning over Barcelona, especially with players like Kylian Mbappé aiming to lead PSG to victory before his potential departure from the team.

The game between Barcelona and PSG is going to be very interesting to watch because PSG is in the Champions League to prove themselves after some players like Mesi and Neymar left the team and they want to finally have some achievements in this tournament after the huge money they spent over these years. While Barcelona doesn't have a good financial situation and they are very close to losing their coach Xavi because he had performed during the time when he was working in this team.
I think the game between Barcelona and PSG is the game between rich and poor.
Also, PSG is the team that got some players like Messi and Dembele from Barcelona because of having more money, and now maybe Barcelona can have the chance to take revenge on this team.
But regardless of all these, we are going to see the race between Enrique and Xavi and both were working in Barcelona. When Enrique was the coach of Barcelona, Xavi was playing there and they didn't have a good relationship because Enrique started using Rakitić instead of Xavi.

[red4slash]

The conditions are still the same as they were and even looking at what Arsenal did against Porto I don't think Arsenal will be favourites in the game they're about to play.
Arsenal's condition in the Champions League is difficult to predict as well as Bayern who are still experiencing problems that they cannot solve properly so by looking at this it is likely that in the match everything becomes very difficult to predict.

Another situation that is happening now is just seeing how they perform in domestic competitions in the near future even though maybe this will not have a big impact because domestic competitions cannot be compared to the Champions League but still positive results in domestic competitions can have more impact on Arsenal and Bayern in terms of their mentality.

I've been opportuned to watch Arsenal play against Bayern Munich in several occasions and never have I experienced an Arsenal win against the German Bundesliga club and that's why a lot of people including bookmakers are already backing Bayern Munich to easily eliminate Arsenal and progress to the quarter finals of the the UEFA Champions League competition but I don't think it'll be as easy as most of us think of the tie. During the times I watched Arsenal lose to Bayern Munich, Arsenal's form at those moments weren't as impressive as it is at the moment and Bayern Munich's inconsistency weren't as bad as it is now which is why I think Arsenal have a good chance to get a good result that'll see them progress to the next round of the competition at the expense of their opponents Bayern Munich.
Arsenal is currently leading the English Premier League table and are still very much interested in winning the league title this season even when they're in strong battle with Liverpool and Manchester City while Bayern Munich is currently trailing German Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points difference. So that goes a long way to tell that Arsenal have simply been the better team this season and might just pull a surprise and eliminate Bayern Munich

h2h statistics in the past are from 12 Arsenal matches against Bayern the result is 7 times Bayern won 2 draws and 3 times Arsenal lost.



In addition for the last 3 matches conducted the result is Bayern won by a landslide with the same score.

Even though this cannot be used as a reference for now because the time comparison is quite long because the last time they met was 8 seasons ago but I don't think its wrong to see the differences that occur in this case so that we don't make it too easy for Arsenal. Currently Bayern are indeed experiencing many problems faced including with Tuchel's coaching which is still not very visible but despite that Bayern are still one of the strong clubs today.

This season Arsenal are doing well and can even get to the quarter-finals in the Champions League but it seems like they are having bad luck because looking at the current conditions even if Arsenal can finally win against Bayern in the quarter-finals, the semi-finals also have to wait for the opponent between Madrid and Manchester City.

[dezoel]

In the history of the uefa champions league, the most important thing a team must have to fight till the very end is experience and quality,  and if you look at this arsenal side, they have the quality but they lack experience, that's where I think Bayern Munich would use to edge them of this quarter finals encounter.

If you look at arsenal performance in the past few games in the champions league, and especially against fc Porto, they were a bit shaky, I believe that, that is what lack of experience does, when in a major tournament like the uefa champions league, so I believe that their lack of experience will cost them this game against Bayern Munich, besides Bayern Munich is not a team to underate regardless of their performance recently.

I have to be agreed with your all review partially because things are never been gone on same way even there is no doubt currently we have Arsenal with lack of experience and mentality to win in big events but still their recent performance is impressive and Bayern Munich which is already out of the Bundesliga title race are having only one chance for the trophy is Champions League, so things are surely tough for the both sides and this is going to be challenging match between these two sides with advantage for the Bayern Munich.

But any prediction is not easy because we are well aware about the nature of the Champions League where things never been work on long base sometime we have match day performance and luck as well, so Arsenal is surely going to have chance for the win and jump into next round with this could be dream season for them after years here in Champions League.

[doomloop]

Arsenal really has the opportunity to take advantage of Bayern Munich inconsistency this season to win, although this is not an easy job to do. Under Arteta leadership, Arsenal is now appearing impressive and deserves to be called a team that Bayern Munich should take into account in the quarter-finals. We understand that Thomas Tuchel squad has a greater chance of winning, but underestimating Arsenal is not a good idea. Arsenal has the complete attributes to create a surprise, like any other team, who knows, they can also do it this season.

Arsenal and Bayern are a match full of fate, but the results are not good for Arsenal as the majority of wins go to Bayern. Bayern is Arsenal's formidable nemesis, and perhaps this is the team they don't want to meet the most in the quarter-finals. In the last encounter with Bayern in the round of 16 of the 2016/17 season, Arsenal lost miserably with a total score of 2-10.
However, there is also good news for Arsenal when Bayern will not receive support from their fans because Bayern is receiving a penalty from UEFA, after a group of fans threw fireworks onto the field during the match 3 win. -1 Lazio earlier this month. The fact that Bayern Munich has to play away from home without support from fans can be a disadvantage for them. Will Arsenal be able to repay their debt against Bayern this time?

Comparing Arsenal vs Bayern Munich's match which was played in 2017 is not good because now things are completely changed, and we have well organized Arsenal which is giving their best in last few months and things are much computable for them at the top level even they are not having experience like Bayern Munich but still their quality and consistency is amazing, and they are completely at the level of their opponents.

Bayern Munich is also facing issues and their last away game in Italy was also disappointing for them, but they have done good fightback into second leg and won big good margin and Arsenal were not able to do this with they won their game on penalties but still we have good draw of the quarterfinal which is giving few dead heat games and fans will be taken good advantage of these fierce rivalries without checking who is winning.

I actually do not want to remember the last meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City,  it is scary on the side of Real Madrid.

Even I didn't forget, but hopefully tomorrow will be different. Although I feel Madrid are a bit weaker because some of the main players are injured. I think it's an early Final that I hope they will meet in the championship decider. If I think for this first game to happen at the Bernabeu, Madrid have to be able to score as many goals as possible. Their 2nd leg will be le London and it's scary. Last season they lost 4-0.

The result in the last meeting was even like a joke where at that time Madrid seemed to be played by Manchester City and of course I think it must be used as a good lesson and experience.
Madrid's situation is a little different now, as is Manchester City's, who haven't done a great job in recent weeks in picking up points, so it's possible we could see a more interesting match than the last time we saw last season.

The match is still a month away and there will definitely be preparations for it because after all this is a match of prestige and I would probably mention that whichever club manages to win this match then the chance for the final is already open for them even though they still have to go through the semi-finals but I don't think it will be difficult because the winner of this match will definitely be easy to be in the final.

Madrid still has some not-so-good conditions for its defense because of the injury problems that never end but for now the injury of players especially the schedule is still quite heavy still waiting for Manchester City so the chances of both are still very much there for now.

[rendravolt]

The first leg and second leg are still very long away but let's talk about the possibility that several Real Madrid players will miss the quarter-final against Manchester City. As is known, the four important Real Madrid players currently, namely Bellingham, Vinicius, Tchouameni and Camavinga, already have one yellow card and if later in the first leg one or even more players get another yellow card then they will have to miss the second leg when they visit Etihad Stadium.

I am very sure that in this big match full of heated intensity there will definitely be players who will get yellow cards and I think these players must be more alert to the violations they will commit later. Manchester City will certainly be very happy to see this data and as much as possible they will play solidly, making the Real Madrid players feel frustrated. Emotions and feelings of unease can sometimes lead to undesirable things and usually when the opposing team attacks, try as much as possible not to commit serious offenses.

The first leg will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu and it looks like Real Madrid will not be at an advantage because the second leg will have to be played at Manchester City's home ground. We know that Real Madrid's typical comeback is and this is clearly quite detrimental. The only way to ensure that Real Madrid qualify for sure is to beat Manchester City in the first leg and not let them draw again.

Last time it was an accident and Antonio Rüdiger was injured. I am confident this time. We have a new star Bellingham. 1st match Real Madird will win 2-0.
If Thibaut Courtois can return it will be great but afaik his return date is March 27.

In this season mostly fans were expecting these teams will be faced each other into final or semifinal, but we have too early this action which is surely going to be amazing and now 25 days remaining in this match which is the good time for the Real Madrid to have few players back into squad for the facing the Citizens which are having good record against them and also want to go for the another title in this season, but surely this is not easy even we all know Real Madrid is not strong enough due to recent injuries.

But this time, Bernabéu still is going to be much better and stronger for the Citizens which are having good recent performance against all top UEFA teams I have personal feeling most chances in this first leg this time we will have Real Madrid as winner with second leg will be decider for the semifinalist.

[comboday]

If you look at Arsenal's performance in the last few games in the Champions League, and especially against FC Porto, they were a bit shaky, I believe, because of lack of experience, when in a big tournament like the UEFA Champions League. So I believe their lack of experience will cost them in this game against Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich are not a team to be underestimated regardless of their recent performances.

But regardless of all these, we are going to see the race between Enrique and Xavi and both were working in Barcelona. When Enrique was the coach of Barcelona, Xavi was playing there and they didn't have a good relationship because Enrique started using Rakitić instead of Xavi.

Correct. The Barcelona vs PSG match is very interesting to look forward to. The last time Barcelona won the 2015 Champions League was during Xavi's final season as a Barcelona player and Enrique served as coach at that time. Currently they are facing each other as fellow coaches, Barcelona of course currently only this trophy is their only hope because in the domestic league it is very difficult to catch Real Madrid, while for PSG the UCL trophy is the dream they have been waiting for all this time.

I predict Barcelona and PSG will play enthusiastically in this match. Barcelona's young players will play all out like against Napoli with high fighting spirit, unselfish in front of goal, all united. Remembering that they wanted to present the best farewell gift to the legend Xavi Hernandez. Roberto, Gundogan and Cubarsi have strong DNA. Tika Taka is ready to become Lewandoski's servant. PSG is also very interesting, of course Mbappe will give his best for his final season at PSG.

[ILuckyGuyI]

If you look at Arsenal's performance in the last few games in the Champions League, and especially against FC Porto, they were a bit shaky, I believe, because of lack of experience, when in a big tournament like the UEFA Champions League. So I believe their lack of experience will cost them in this game against Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich are not a team to be underestimated regardless of their recent performances.

I think the same. I didn't like Arsenal against Porto in any of the legs. Arsenal caused my bet to lose in the second leg also because of thinking they would score at least 2 goals in 90 minutes. 

If they maintain the same look against Bayern Munich also then I think the Germans will continue on their way in the Champions League. I don't like Bayern Munich too much either but at least I know their nature. They really have no pity against a team struggling quite much against themselves.

I understand Arsenal about their EPL title chase but the Champions League must be also important for them while having a wonderful season in general.

sometimes a team that has big finances is always considered a stronger team because it has talented players with higher quality compared to teams that have bad finances, but in the UCL, experience is much more valuable than money because if a team doesn't have enough experience great at UCL or players who don't have enough experience mentally will definitely fail and most likely there will be more people who say PSG will qualify for the semi finals but I choose Barcelona who will qualify for the next round.
when we look at the H2H statistics these two teams both have wins in the past when facing each other in the UCL and in my opinion they are both tied with two wins but the current situation is much different from before because currently PSG has superior players like Mbappe while Barcelona no longer have Messi and will only rely on Lewandowski and Felix.

after I saw the upcoming UCL match schedule, almost all the matches were very interesting, but what made me more interested was the Real Madrid vs Man City match in the quarter finals.
this means that one of these strong teams must be eliminated from the quarter finals and it would be very sad if the draw for the Man City and Real Madrid match had to stop until the quarter finals, whereas I hope these two big teams can compete in the final.
so this season's UCL looks like it will lose between Man City or Real Madrid and I hope that Real Madrid will win the title again in the UCL this season.

Updated odds for the outright Champions' League winner:



Man City, the current champion, being the favourite here does not surprise me, but the disproportions between their odds and the odds for other teams seem a bit strange to me. I don't think Man City is that much better than Arsenal or Real Madrid. I'd expect pay-out rates to be much closer to each other.
Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.
Any thoughts?

[Yogee]

[....]Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.

Putting a bet on them as early as now is still high risk but their fans would more gladly take that. I also don't know about smooth sailing since Arsenal or Bayern will be the next opponent if they somehow managed to win against City. They would likely become the huge favorite when that happens.

PSG has been spending much on Mbappe, but I believe that money cant buy Champions League love or wins. Barcelona is unmatched in this competition. Xavi's future and financial issues aside, Im betting on Barcelona. I expect Barcelona to go all out with their back against the wall, even though their head-to-head record is very even. Lewandowski and Felix could be Barcelona's wildcard to beat PSG's financial giants.

The draw has set up a match between Real Madrid and Man City so early in the tournament, which is heartbreaking. Both clubs can go all the way, making this quarterfinals seem like a final. As much as I like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Man City's loss will hurt the competition. Its sad that one of these giants must retire so soon, but thats football's beauty.

Hahaha the house knows better what they have to take to be able to have an advantage and also be the favorite in competition to give decent odd, but never be fooled by the odds given by the house because everything can still change significantly.
Manchester City, as last season champion, is the favorite and Real Madrid, who is the most successful team for the UCL, has quite big advantage over Manchester City, this is something that I think makes it little difficult for gamblers.
Just look, in the quarter-finals Manchester City will compete against Real Madrid and this will be difficult choice, Manchester City has the advantage on paper but they can also lose.
It just that I admit that Manchester City has advantages from several factors, one of which is perfect squad filled with all the great players who last season brought Manchester City to become champions.
I assume this meeting in the quarter-finals will only end in draw and the decision will be penalty shootout, for the first leg match I will not take the risk of betting money.
But for the second leg I would really make Manchester City the favorite in betting, especially since they have home match for the second leg.

What is quite surprising is that Arsenal is in second place, precisely behind Manchester City, this competition will be very difficult to predict.
