UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Dzwaafu11]

I am very doubtful in terms of head to head because Bayern Munich is too strong for Arsenal, is it possible that Mikel Arteta will give resistance to Bayern Munich, with the tactics he has because Arsenal is not that strong to face Bayern Munich, it is likely that he will have difficulties when playing at home Bayern Munich, we know that the Allianz Arena is a scary home for the clubs that play there, so it is not surprising that every club will experience defeat there.

Arsenal's previous Champions League encounter with Bayern Munich didn't end well. But this time, it's a different Arsenal. We should leave the past behind and focus on the opportunities presented by manager Arteta. While Arsenal fans might have their doubts, playing against Bayern Munich at home is a tough challenge. Arsenal is in good form and can beat any team, but as you've said Bayern is also formidable, especially at the Allianz Arena.

Arsenal are in good shape in the Premier League, although in the Champions League their performance looks different, but still, they won't want to do anything that will make them lose this match because in the Premier League now they are in a very dangerous position where there is a guarantee that they have secured that one, so they need to be strong here too so that they will not do the same thing as last season when they lost to competition. However, I don't see Bayern Munich as a team that is too strong for Arsenal. I believe Arsenal are going to beat Bayern Munich, so let's see how the match will go. Since some of you are still doubting this match, let's not conclude yet.

I also see them as the two possible favorites to reach the final, they are very strong and very rocky teams
both are not performing very well in their respective national leagues, perhaps because they are trying so hard in the UEFA Champions League
we are in, let`s see how things evolve, remember that other very strong teams are also in, we could have some surprises

I feel Manchester City have a big chance of qualifying for the final in a second consecutive season, but their chances may depend a lot on how they finish the first leg. I mean, if Manchester City can win the first leg then they have a better chance of winning the second leg at home.

Pep Guardiola has good experience in stopping Real Madrid, he even proved that last season. Of course Real Madrid is not an easy opponent because they are the favorites in this competition, but that alone does not guarantee them to beat Manchester City. This season I would rather see Manchester City in the final than Real Madrid, so I hope Pep Guardiola can make it happen.

[Egii Nna]

Bayern has much stronger strength and mentality than Arsenal, so overall Bayern is slightly favored in this quarter-final regardless of what happens to the Bayern team in the domestic league.
There will of course be fierce competition because Arsenal is not a weak team, but we also have to make realistic predictions to place bets and for me Bayern will be able to win over Arsenal.

The condition of the two teams that are still unpredictable in terms of performance I think it could be another factor that this match is difficult to predict.
In terms of mentality and experience now it is certain that Bayern are still very favorites, it's just that with a slightly monotonous way of working and Arsenal's insistent play in a match this could be a differentiator where we know Arsenal's youngsters sometimes become very solid and can play with good consistency in 90 minutes of the match.

Tuchel knows how Arsenal are in a match and on the other hand Arteta must also have known what to do when facing Tuchel later. I just hope this match goes well because after all this is a big match and I expect good tension in this match.

BTW, for the quarter-finals this time it looks like the matches in the Champions League this season are more interesting than the previous season.

Normally, this season's game is more amazing than the last season, seeing the unexpected things that have been happening. The best part was when the shuffle of the quarterfinals was out, because I expected the shuffle to be exactly like that, and it came, but with some slight differences. That is why having much hope in predicting is not mostly recommended. 

When we consider the performances of both teams that we believe are unpredictable, we will discover that one of the teams has more chances and hopes to win than the other, and this team is none other than Arsenal due to their young players. Not even for that; their next match is the first leg, and Bayern Munich supporters will not be in the stadium to support them because they were banned for a single match due to the rule they violated at their last match against Lazio, so that is also a chance for Arsenal to have their neat goals since Bayern Munich will have no supporters in the stadium. 
 
That will also cost a lot for Bayern Munich because it won’t feel encouraging to play without a supporter that is capable of even making them play a very poor game on the field, but since they already have more time to get prepared for, maybe they will do something tangible, but Arsenal have a higher chance than Bayern Munich in this game.

Did you say Both teams are not performing well in the league? Real Madrid is topping the La Liga and Manchester City is also at the top of the table because in the EPL the point difference between the three best teams is not much so City can win the league if the other two teams drops points. For the records, City and Madrid can Play the final together again because they are grouped to play each other in quarter finals so one out of the two teams will get to the finals if they perform well.

Yep. He seems trying to say Real Madrid and Man City performed not very well in the domestic competition.

I can a bit agree if he referred to Man City, Man City didn't perform as well as in the last season. Although Man City is still in the top 3 of EPL, people expect that Man City will be always in the top 2 in EPL. People even wants to see Man City in the 1st place because people think Man City is the strongest team in EPL. Moreover, Man City was the champion in the last season, they even won 3 titles. So, these things that make people to feel unsatisfied with Man City performance in EPL.

Meanwhile for Real Madrid, it is untrue of they performed bad in the domestic competition. They are leading the table of La Liga, they in the 1st place. Real Madrid even already leads the table with 8 points. This makes people assume that Real Madrid already wins the La Liga competition, no other teams that are likely to overtake the position of Real Madrid. Seeing the fact, it is strange if someone claims that Real Madrid performed bad in the domestic competition.  

Because both teams actually still performed quite well in the domestic competition, they have almost the same condition in their local leagues. However, the condition in the league sometimes won't always impact to the performance in UCL. So, we can't favor Real Madrid only because they are better in the local league.

[Coyster]

Bayern is not doing well in the Bundesliga, while Arsenal is doing better.

This is exactly correct, if you take a look at the head to head between the two team, Bayern have won far more games and if we are to predict this game using that, then the advantage is with Bayern Munich. Having said that, Arsenal have improved greatly since the last time they met Bayern, and even though it sounds strange to say, they (Arsenal) are the favorites in this tie as they have the quality to eliminate Bayern Munich.

[Ahli38]

This seems like the final because this season Manchester City and Real Madrid are the favorites to win the UCL but they have to meet early.
Among the other quarter-final matches, this is the only one that is quite fierce in my opinion, there is no favorite because if you look at it from any side, the two teams are equal this season, both in terms of quality and mentality.
What's interesting is that Real Madrid was eliminated by Manchester City last season and we'll see if they succeed in getting their revenge this season.

I also see them as the two possible favorites to reach the final, they are very strong and very rocky teams
both are not performing very well in their respective national leagues, perhaps because they are trying so hard in the UEFA Champions League
we are in, let`s see how things evolve, remember that other very strong teams are also in, we could have some surprises

For Real Madrid the early match against Manchester City will definitely be an opportunity to take revenge for the defeat they had last season. So I'm pretty sure Ancelotti will actually be very enthusiastic about this match. Even though it looks like a final, in fact this has happened in several previous seasons. namely these two teams always meet early. I don't know how but that's always what happens. So these two always have to eliminate each other before the actual final. Last season, Manchester City seemed to have difficulty in the first leg against Real Madrid and resulted in a draw. But in the second leg Manchester City surprised everyone by managing to score many goals against Real Madrid. And for the Real Madrid squad, of course this is a bad memory and destroys their self-esteem. So in this match, maybe Real Madrid will fight harder than usual. And we have to remember that this season Manchester City are not as strong as last season when they still had their mainstay captain, Gundogan.

[swogerino]

I can't wait to see Real Madrid humiliated again,those pugs who never took the return game against Leipzig seriously and they were lucky that they got a draw in the end as Leipzig nearly scored the second goal when they hit the post in the last minute of the game,so a lucky saved Real Madrid.I lost a huge amount of money because of those carefree players which against a team like Manchester City do not stand a chance at all in my opinion and will be completely dominated by Manchester City in both games.I am sure that City against a team like Real Madrid will not play defensively at all even when playing at Bernabeu,after the show against Leipzig Real Madrid truly deserves only the worse of the worse and I will be there seeing their demise from Manchester City,I have absolutely 0 doubts about it.

[Palakka]

So far we know that Arsenal always have nightmares when meeting Bayern and this season Arsenal also inevitably must meet Bayern again, to be honest I personally am a little worried about Arsenal's chances of going far in the Champions League this season, although Arsenal is now starting to look as a strong team in the league but for the Champions League it seems they have no change at all like the previous season,  Especially when we see if they are very difficult in beating Porto in the first and second legs of the round of 16, while Munich who are down in the league of course they have a stronger mentality when playing in the Champions League and that's why I say if it might be difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich, especially in the second leg later.
I personally would love to see Arsenal go far in the Champions League this season but am a bit pessimistic if Munich are their opponents.

I don't really optimistic with Arsenal's appearance in UEFA Champion League matches, looking how difficult for eliminating FC Porto on 16 of round. On quarter final, Bayern Munich is most difficult opponent team for Arsenal and become the nightmare teams always made Arsenal faced trouble when both team facing each other in Champion League match and Arsenal ever loss with bigger score aggregate against Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich has Harry Kane know well with Premier League culture games and not much problem when facing Arsenal, he has experienced for beating Arsenal when playing with Tottenham Hotspur, I think Bayern Munich is favorite team will lead to semifinal stage than Arsenal have many crucial matches in domestic league.

At present if we compare the performance of Arsenal with Bayern Munich in the league, of course both have significant differences, and indeed we have to admit that Arsenal's performance in the Premier League is much better than Munich in the Bundesliga, but in this case we are talking about the Champions League, where we know so far that the atmosphere of matches in the Champions League is much more different from the League,  For example, if we look at how tough Intermilan is in Serie A at this time and their performance is inversely proportional to Atletico Madrid who are outside the top 4 of La Liga, but in fact Atletico Madrid played with high spirit and power in the Champions League to end Intermilan journey in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

Although I would like to see Arsenal reach the Champions League final this season, we all have to look realistically if Arsenal's chances of winning against Munich are very small at the moment based on the head to head and also the mentality that both teams have in the Champions League so far, speaking of Kane, of course he has a lot of experience with Tottenham, but honestly Kane is not something Arsenal should fear In my opinion, because Kane also often felt failure against Arsenal when he was with Tottenham, in this case I am not talking about individuals but Munich's mentality that cannot be doubted in the Champions League even without Kane against Arsenal later.

Arsenal's past record against Bayern Munich on the Champions League platform is not good. The teams met twice in 2015 and 2017. Bayern Munich won all three matches by a big margin, Arsenal won one match 2-0. Bayern Munich will definitely want to continue this trend. But if none of Arsenal's key players suffer from injuries, and if Arsenal can play with their full squad, Arsenal have the potential to beat Bayern Munich this season.

From head to head statistics alone we can see how fragile Arsenal were at that time and it looks like this will not happen again with the current squad. The difference is clearly so big that Arsenal could make things difficult for Bayern Munich. Sometimes there are times when those statistics don't apply and I'm pretty sure Arsenal can be relied on.

You are right, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two favorites in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately they had to meet too soon in the quarter-finals. I was basically expecting Manchester City to play Real Madrid in the semi-finals, but that never really came true.

Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg, while Manchester City will have it in the second leg. Manchester City already have experience beating Real Madrid, but they will never be able to do the same thing every season if Ancelotti has learned enough from his mistakes last season. I would certainly expect the opposite, I mean Manchester City must can beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this season.

believe it or not, even though Arsenal are currently having the luck to qualify for the quarter-finals, I still believe that Bayern Munich will progress to the next round.
statistics cannot always be an accurate prediction when the conditions of the two teams are different, but from these statistics we have evidence that Bayern Munich has greater experience to be able to beat Arsenal and on the one hand, Bayern Munich performance is far superior.
If you had to look deeper into Bayern Munich success in winning the title in the UCL, do you still believe Arsenal will be lucky?
btw, even though I really support Real Madrid as title holders this season, I have a slightly unreasonable thought, namely that this season Bayern Munich will win the UCL title again this season.
what I say is purely after I saw the quite visible difference that Real Madrid and Man City had a slight decline in performance this season.

[lalabotax]

You are right, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two favorites in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately they had to meet too soon in the quarter-finals. I was basically expecting Manchester City to play Real Madrid in the semi-finals, but that never really came true.

Actually, there are 3 favorite teams to win the UCL trophy. We have Bayern Munich besides Man City and Real Madrid. We don't forget that Bayern Munich is also a strong team and they often has a good history in UCL. It is very unfortunate that among these teams, 2 of them must fight in the current round. People expect that those 3 teams will be in the semi-final round at least.

Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg, while Manchester City will have it in the second leg. Manchester City already have experience beating Real Madrid, but they will never be able to do the same thing every season if Ancelotti has learned enough from his mistakes last season. I would certainly expect the opposite, I mean Manchester City must can beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this season.

If we look at the previous round, the team which has a home match in Leg 2, will have a bigger advantage. Leg 2 will be the final match to qualify for the next round. In Leg 2, both teams will try to play all out, they won't think to play defensively anymore. Meanwhile in Leg 1, the teams can decide to play very careful to avoid conceded goals. So, Man City actually has a better chance because they will play at home in Leg 2.

Ancelotti may have learned from the mistake in the last season, but Guardiola must always learn how to exploit the weakness of Real Madrid. We know Real Madrid attacking sometimes doesn't work well because they have no pure striker. And Real Madrid defense also looked not really convincing because some key players are injured.

People expect that those 3 teams will be in the semi-final round at least.

Bayern Munich, this season is completely in shambles. I don't even think they will go past Arsenal if the form turns up on a good day. Real Madrid has to tussle it out with Manchester City, whoever wins in that match is most likely reaching the final and probably winning this year's title.

[Leviathan.007]

Mikel Arteta will probably face strong pressure because they also have to continue to perform well in the English Premier League. If they make the wrong strategy they will fail in these two competitions and that will certainly be very disappointing because last season they failed in the English Premier League as well as in European competitions even though It's not the Champions League, but I still doubt Arsenal will be in this competition and my prediction is that they won't make it to the semifinals.

I am very doubtful in terms of head to head because Bayern Munich is too strong for Arsenal, is it possible that Mikel Arteta will give resistance to Bayern Munich, with the tactics he has because Arsenal is not that strong to face Bayern Munich, it is likely that he will have difficulties when playing at home Bayern Munich, we know that the Allianz Arena is a scary home for the clubs that play there, so it is not surprising that every club will experience defeat there.

Arsenal is in good form and can beat any team, but as you've said Bayern is also formidable, especially at the Allianz Arena.

I think when Arteta understood they were going to play against Bayern Munich he was very unhappy because for Arsenal, Bayern Munich is a nightmare and usually Bayern Munich was the team they could easily beat Arsenal.
The last game they had was a friendly match in which Arsenal won the game with a 2-1 result. But other than one friendly game, whenever Arsenal was playing against Bayer Munich in the Champions League they lost the game with a 5-1 result and that's too much for them.
Now once again Arsenal should stand against Bayern Munich while they don't have good memories about the past games they had, I guess we are going to see Tuchel and his players win this match against Arsenal as there is more pressure on Tuchel because not being in the first place of the table in Bundesliga. maybe this can be a good motivation for them to beat Arsenal.

Likewise, but it's time to see one of them show strength so they could advance to the next level of the tournament in the Champions League Competition.
Come rain come sun, I'd go for Real Madrid to go through and if they fail me? Fine then. But for this fixture? Manchester City should return and play the Premier League Competition.

Had anyone also noticed Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne quarreling? I mean right on the pitch. What could that mean and be?
Most worried about Real Madrid and them plays because these days, they're being too much of a defensive structure. Can they use that to defeat Manchester City? Let's also see if Antonio Rudiger will hold down Erling Haaland in that game yet again.

Real Madrid - M.City match was an early final match. I think the team that comes out of here will be the champion.

My favorite in the Bayern Munich - Arsenal match is Arsenal. I think Arsenal have been playing really well lately and it makes you watch the old Arsenal. I hope we have the opportunity to see them in the next tour.

I would actually prefer to see the two meet earlier where they meet in the quarter-finals which will be a big match that will show us who is the best between them. I'm still quite confident that Manchester city will be able to beat Real madrid because I think their strength this season is stronger than Real madrid. Manchester city has several key factors where they have a great mentality to beat their opponents.

Moreover, the first leg will take place at the Bernabeu stadium, which means Manchester city must try as hard as possible to steal victory at Real madrid headquarters. Haaland, Foden and Alvarez are expected to be able to perform optimally by contributing their best strength for the first leg. However, I don't think Real madrid is weak, but this season of course Manchester City is the strongest team and they are quite difficult to beat. Pep Guardiola will pressure his players to perform at their best because the opponents they face are quite strong.

Having said that, Arsenal have improved greatly since the last time they met Bayern, and even though it sounds strange to say, they (Arsenal) are the favorites in this tie as they have the quality to eliminate Bayern Munich.

The quarter finals are the best opportunity for Arsenal to prove their quality, with their performance on fire whether they are able to beat Bayern Munchen. It is difficult to predict the final result of this match, it must be admitted that Bayern Munchen status is no longer favored due to a number of bad results in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, it would be a shame if Arsenal again failed to continue its mission, because as we understand, Arteta squad is currently in its best performance.

On the other hand, the course of the match might make things easier for Arsenal in the first leg, because they will act as hosts. However, I feel that it is not an easy job to beat a team like Bayern Munchen, Arteta and his players have to work harder than usual. Apart from that, Tuchel is certainly very ambitious to bring his squad to the final, because it is no longer possible for them to win the Bundesliga trophy this season.

I know that Champions League is very competitive and hard to predictive winner but this time, it's only two teams I think can survive this tornado compete and that's Real Madrid and Manchester, I'm seeing this duo like we are already having a final already because from the other end, Barcelona will be remove by PSG where they will face Dortmund and I'm confident on this one that Dortmund will reach the final stage where they will fave either Real Madrid or Manchester City because I'm not sure who will come out legendary from this battle.

I'm kind of confident in what Arsenal will do to Bayern, they have the complete teams to win them but what will happen in Semi final wouldn't be good because I don't expect Arsenal to beat Real Madrid or Manchester City, even if Bayern survive Quarter final, I'm not sure they can pass through Real Madrid or Manchester City unless football happen to them.

In my perspective, when I see Bayern Munich against Arsenal, I am not happy because it will be extremely difficult for Arsenal to get the chance to overcome Munich in the Champions League. This odd they give arsenal if the match is close now they will give arsenal a big odd more than Bayer Munich, since arsenal are facing Munich they have not had the chance to defeat Munich, but I don't know for this season if they will have the opportunity to defeat Munich, in terms of experience and quality arsenal will be defeated because Bayern Munich used to qualify for the Champions League every season and Tuchel is a very talented coach more than Arteta because Tuchel win more trophy more than him.

 Am just waiting for this match  arsenal vs Bayern Munich because I can't predict anyone now,  because odd deceive something so I will let they should play the first leg before someone can know the real club that can win the game and qualify to semi finals this season.
