UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Yes, I also agree with you. Both Man City and Real Madrid are in top form. In a narrow lane, Real Madrid and Man City faced each other again for the fourth consecutive season in the Champions League. The rematch between Real Madrid and Man City in the quarterfinals of this year's Champions League promises to continue to be a tense match. Man City will continue to defeat Real Madrid this season. In terms of player quality, Man City is still better. Although the talents of the two coaches are equal. Real Madrid can only be firm when they get the final piece of the puzzle, Kylian Mbappé. Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

So you're basically saying without Mbappe Madrid is not winning the champion League? This is a funny stand because they have done it before without Mbappe so why do you think they can't win without Mbappe, when the Mbappe himself has not won it without Madrid?
Man City has a higher chance of winning but they'll win not because Madrid don't have Mbappe, they'll win because they were the better team. Madrid can also win Man City without Mbappe.

Also, Madrid having Mbappe doesn't mean they will definitely dominate. Madrid has had better players than Mbappe before and they have had better squads than they currently have and they did not dominate in those times. Football is not only about stars.
What if Mbappe comes and the team becomes disorganised? Football is a team sports and for a team to succeed, everybody has to do his job effectively.

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.

Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

Real Madrid is in good condition because they have perfect squad with all their mainstay players who have succeeded in enabling Real Madrid to achieve many wins in the previous few matches.
But on the other hand, Manchester City is also in very possible condition to beat Real Madrid because they have squad that really cannot be underestimated and Manchester City is really focusing on preparations for the quarter-final match later.
Hopefully, in the next almost 4 weeks before the match takes place, Manchester City will not have any problems that could harm them, such as players getting injured, because the first leg match is big opportunity for Manchester City to win by landslide.
Pep must be more careful in positioning his players for Premier League matches and he must be able to look after all the key players to avoid injury problems.

Real Madrid might be able to have additional performance with Mbappe but that will happen next season and this season they will only be the same as last season when they lost badly on the road to Manchester City.
I think the results of last season matches could happen again for this season quarter final.

[Dzwaafu11]

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.

The statistical analysis of Gunners have made huge positive improvement and any opponents coming their path, they ensured they cleared them with brief history. Arsenal are formidable and strong this season, they're exceptionally having great time and Mikel Arteta will try his best to maintain the potential form of these players. Arsenal might be underperfoming in all these previous season but this one is different. Mikel Arteta, the players will definitely shoots huge shoot because they're so desperate to lift a title.

sure. even when people are talking about Arsenal match and Bayern Munich, some people are still giving Bayern Munich high chance of winning Arsenal, which I don't think will happen because Arsenal are in their best form, and I didn't see any motivation in Bayern Munich squad that will give me that hope that they will win Arsenal. and if we look Arsenal previous matches, we will see that they win almost all the match so even their match against Bayern Munich I still have much hope for Arsenal in winning that match. although some people are still thinking that the same thing that what happen last season will repeat itself that was when Arsenal deform after topping the table, but I also think their performance is different this season.

[GiftedMAN]

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.

The thing is Arsenal will have to think about both the Champions League and the English Premier League at the same time. But Bayern Munich is going to go all out on the champions League competition because that is the one competition they have some hope about. They are not winning the Bundesliga title. So they will try desperately to win the champions League title. That's why I think it is going to be tough for arsenal too to win against Bayern Munich in the champions League competition.

I think Arsenal and Bayern Munich are in the same situation right now despite the position of Arsenal in the EPL, Arsenal is fighting to stay ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool so they can win the league while they are also hoping to get ahead of Bayern Munich to be in the semi while Bayern Munich on the other hand is fighting to see if they can close the gap between them and league leaders Bayer Leverkusen which is currently ahead of them with 10 points, it may appear that all hope is lost for Bayern Munich in the league but they can't give up now until the season is over  who knows if Leverkusen will lose 4 matches in the last remaining games and Bayern Munich will catch up with them so they are in similar situations with Arsenal.

Let's not get him wrong, Mbappe style of playing fits the real Madrid pattern of playing, having him at Real Madrid will give them the upper hand to victory not that with his absent they won't  perform very well already they have been dominating all these while.
The match between both teams will be a tough one and it won't end goaless, since both of them are quite good with their finishing, it is left for the defenders and Goalkeepers to stop from conceiving many goals.

I don't think that Bayern Leverkusen will lose any match, they can only drop points in a draw game. Leverkusen will prefer to maintain their unbeaten record this season, instead of giving it up. Leverkusen are already the league winners because they have started making the possible since the beginning of the season by notosing any match.

Bayern Munich should focus more on the Champions League than their domestic league, because it is in the champions league that there is hope for them. I will say that Arsenal is in a better position to win their domestic league than Bayern Munich.

Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

You act as though you are not talking about football, and you have complete faith in Manchester City because of their talented players. However, did you realise that Real Madrid also has talented players? If Real Madrid wants to play at a high level, they will defeat Manchester City. I don't think we should have too much faith in Manchester City to overcome Real Madrid. Take a look at their game against Liverpool. Did you think they were still capable of defeating a major league team this season? Even against Chelsea, Manchester City struggles to win, so there is nothing Manchester City can do to prevent Real Madrid from scoring goals during the match.

When Real Madrid lost to Manchester City in the previous season, it was because they could not play well even in the Liga. They had only won the Copa del Rey the year before, and if you compare their performance this season to that of last, is it comparable? With the addition of new players, Real Madrid has strengthened their squad. Their attacking and midfield players are currently in excellent form, so I fear that Real Madrid will defeat Manchester City. In fact, I believe that Real Madrid is looking forward to playing Manchester City.

Mate, Real Madrid have already dominated the Champions League so far.    They have a total of 14 championships achieved in this competition. Their success in the Champions League has become like an ecole.

Aside from that they won the title in the 2021/2022 season without having a player like Mbappe. Manchester City were still strong those times but Real Madrid still eliminated them in the semi finals. Maybe you will say Manchester City didn't have Haaland then. In that case I would like to remind you of another fact that Haaland didn't have much impact on his team's matches in the semi finals and final last season either.

By the way I can agree with you on a point. When Mbappe joins Real Madrid they will probably start playing at a much higher level.

I think Arsenal and Bayern Munich are in the same situation right now despite the position of Arsenal in the EPL, Arsenal is fighting to stay ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool so they can win the league while they are also hoping to get ahead of Bayern Munich to be in the semi while Bayern Munich on the other hand is fighting to see if they can close the gap between them and league leaders Bayer Leverkusen which is currently ahead of them with 10 points, it may appear that all hope is lost for Bayern Munich in the league but they can't give up now until the season is over  who knows if Leverkusen will lose 4 matches in the last remaining games and Bayern Munich will catch up with them so they are in similar situations with Arsenal.

They're not in no same situation, Gunner's are bottlers and even at the top of the Premier League, one would still have some levels of doubt about them possibilities of winning the Premier League Competition.

As for Bayern Munich, it'll be hell difficult for them to catch-up on Bayern Leverkusen. They're currently on another level and should not lose form even if they lose the next two games.
Rest assured it's gonna be the first trophy to be won by Xabi Alonso.

Arsenal though are still my favorites to win the Premier League Competition. I've also read how they want to sign Alexander Isaak from Newcastle United and I do think it's a great idea and better option than Victor Oshime for now

So you're basically saying without Mbappe Madrid is not winning the champion League? This is a funny stand because they have done it before without Mbappe so why do you think they can't win without Mbappe, when the Mbappe himself has not won it without Madrid?
Man City has a higher chance of winning but they'll win not because Madrid don't have Mbappe, they'll win because they were the better team. Madrid can also win Man City without Mbappe.

Also, Madrid having Mbappe doesn't mean they will definitely dominate. Madrid has had better players than Mbappe before and they have had better squads than they currently have and they did not dominate in those times. Football is not only about stars.
What if Mbappe comes and the team becomes disorganised? Football is a team sports and for a team to succeed, everybody has to do his job effectively.

You are right and I very much agree with your assessment from both parties regarding Madrid and Manchester City. Because this is not just about star players, the UCL will be a struggle for every strong team, no matter how ideal the squad is, if you lose, you lose. We can reflect on PSG last season which was filled with Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. But what are the results? they didn't bring home any UCL trophies. Therefore, this competition involves many things, quality players, team cohesion, stability in each line, even distribution of individual abilities and what is clear is the coach's tactics in breaking down the opponent's defense.

Mbappe in Madrid also needs to adjust, because now Ancelotti also needs to think hard about positioning, which must be able to rotate or try to force other positions. Mbappe arrival to Madrid depends on Ancelotti's decision in placing the right position and mutual benefit with his fellow striker, in this case Vinicius.

Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

I see Man City is not as good as last season and is ranked 3rd in the EPL League after Arsenal from Liverpool, why is Man City ranked 3rd if they are so great this season to beat Real Madrid? Real lost its goalkeeper and 2 starting CBs all season. Vini missed 6 games, Tchouameni and Camavinga were each out for 6 to 8 weeks. Ceballos absent 8 weeks Mendy absent 4 weeks Dani absent 4 or 5 matches still top of the standings, but they were able to win the Spanish Super Copa and are now still firmly in first place in Laliga. So my prediction is that Real Madrid will beat Man City this season, because their strength is the same as last season.

It's just that Real Madrid's weakest point is on the front line, where Vini and Rodrygo don't know how to position themselves with Jude Bellingham. This is detrimental to the midfield players because they don't know what the front line will do to score goals. Vini and Rodrygo would have done the same thing in a different situation, just running from the sidelines. However, if they dare to be in the penalty box and initiate a 1-2 combination. Don't hold the ball for too long. Finding space, running, passing, adjusting, shooting. Then victory for Real Madrid will be easy to obtain.

[Cryptmuster]

I think Arsenal and Bayern Munich are in the same situation right now despite the position of Arsenal in the EPL, Arsenal is fighting to stay ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool so they can win the league while they are also hoping to get ahead of Bayern Munich to be in the semi while Bayern Munich on the other hand is fighting to see if they can close the gap between them and league leaders Bayer Leverkusen which is currently ahead of them with 10 points, it may appear that all hope is lost for Bayern Munich in the league but they can't give up now until the season is over  who knows if Leverkusen will lose 4 matches in the last remaining games and Bayern Munich will catch up with them so they are in similar situations with Arsenal.

All Bayern can hope to do in the Bundesliga is to close the distance to Bayer Leverkusen a little, but I'm pretty sure that they don't have a goal to get ahead of Bayer Leverkusen because that goal seems unrealistic. Now all of Tuchel’s attention will be focused on the Champions League, this is the number one tournament for Bayern now, if they manage to win the Champions League, then for Tuchel this will be the best thing, since he will be able to leave the team with a victory, and in this case there will definitely be many teams, who want to see him on their team. Of course this would be great for Tuchel, but for this I need to do a lot of work, and first beat Arsenal.

Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

Real Madrid have dominated Europe without kylian mbappé, so even if he comes into Madrid, it's to just help and improve on the already existing structure Madrid have, even in the absence of Ronaldo and benzema they've been outstanding in their performance, currently they are in top gear both in the champions League and their domestic league, sitting at the top of the table with 72 points, and are likely will be the title winners. I know the game between them and Manchester city is always a tough one, but with the current statistics, they are in a better position to win Manchester city.

[rendravolt]

I think Arsenal and Bayern Munich are in the same situation right now despite the position of Arsenal in the EPL, Arsenal is fighting to stay ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool so they can win the league while they are also hoping to get ahead of Bayern Munich to be in the semi while Bayern Munich on the other hand is fighting to see if they can close the gap between them and league leaders Bayer Leverkusen which is currently ahead of them with 10 points, it may appear that all hope is lost for Bayern Munich in the league but they can't give up now until the season is over  who knows if Leverkusen will lose 4 matches in the last remaining games and Bayern Munich will catch up with them so they are in similar situations with Arsenal.

Of course this would be great for Tuchel, but for this I need to do a lot of work, and first beat Arsenal.

I think if Tuchel manages to win the Champions League title with Bayern Munich, it is likely that the club owner or director will try to keep him. I know that sometimes the coach's decision to leave is absolute, but as long as the request is to stay, he may not leave. Actually, that would be good for Tuchel because he could at the same time prove his capacity as one of the most experienced coaches in Europe and being on a big stage like the Champions League is something he and his team must try to conquer.

On the other hand, Arsenal cannot be taken lightly, especially as this young squad is very enthusiastic about producing the first title in the club's history and maybe if Arsenal can get rid of Bayern Munich then they will advance to the semifinals. But unfortunately even if Arsenal qualify then they will face one of the strong candidates for champions between Manchester City or Real Madrid considering they are in the same chart.

[tyz]

Real Madrid might be able to have additional performance with Mbappe but that will happen next season and this season they will only be the same as last season when they lost badly on the road to Manchester City.
I think the results of last season matches could happen again for this season quarter final.

Both teams have strong squads and are focused on preparing for the quarter-final. Injuries can be a significant factor in any match, so it's crucial for both teams to manage their players workload and pyhsical stress and avoid any unnecessary risks. Manchester City will need to be particularly careful, as any injuries to key players could significantly impact their chances of winning while Real Madrid may have some new additions to their squad next season, it's essential to focus on the upcoming match and not look too far ahead. The previous seasons results may provide some insight, but it's a new match with new circumstances, and both teams will need to bring their best to get in the next round.

[dezoel]

If Barcelona are to win against PSG, they will need to keep their defense tight and stop Mbappe. Barcelona have no chance of winning if they can't stop Mbappe. PSG is a fairly stable team now. But even then, the team is most dependent on Mbappe to score goals. Barcelona will have a chance to control the match if they can resist Mbappe.

Lewandowski is in good form right now. Raphinha, Felix and Lewa can perform well and Barcelona have a chance to win against PSG. However, Barcelona's defenders must play well. If the defenders do not perform well, it is not possible to counter a team like PSG with only good performances from the attacking players.

Both teams currently are on same level of quality and performance even few are giving PSG advantage, but things are never been easy for them to win and have spot into next round because Barcelona has never been easy team to beat first leg game is going to play in Paris which is good advantage for them because this can give them good chance for having psychological advantage like they have in last round against Real Sociedad with Barcelona will try his best to have performance like they achieve against Napoli.

Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski are the key players for this encounter with both are in good form and Lewandowski is having good support from the other top quality players with PSG is also doing impressive run under Luis Enrique and his experience is going to help PSG as he also spends good time at the Barcelona as coach currently prediction is not easy but for me PSG having good chance for the jumping into last four.

[ancafe]

So you're basically saying without Mbappe Madrid is not winning the champion League? This is a funny stand because they have done it before without Mbappe so why do you think they can't win without Mbappe, when the Mbappe himself has not won it without Madrid?
Man City has a higher chance of winning but they'll win not because Madrid don't have Mbappe, they'll win because they were the better team. Madrid can also win Man City without Mbappe.

Also, Madrid having Mbappe doesn't mean they will definitely dominate. Madrid has had better players than Mbappe before and they have had better squads than they currently have and they did not dominate in those times. Football is not only about stars.
What if Mbappe comes and the team becomes disorganised? Football is a team sports and for a team to succeed, everybody has to do his job effectively.

To achieve a club championship requires collective strength because there is no guarantee that one person can give the team a championship title. Look at how when Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe play as a team, they also have quite a hard time winning the Champions League, even though the strength of these three players is very good on the front lines. The strengths of Real Madrid and Manchester City are both strong now, but if we talk about experience, I tend to see Real Madrid as the strongest candidate at the moment.

Real Madrid has good players in the team and they have achieved many titles with the strength of the existing players. Mbappe's presence might provide much better strength, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to help Real Madrid win the Champions League. The team needs collective strength because there is no guarantee that one person can give the club a championship title.

[asriloni]

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.

The statistical analysis of Gunners have made huge positive improvement and any opponents coming their path, they ensured they cleared them with brief history. Arsenal are formidable and strong this season, they're exceptionally having great time and Mikel Arteta will try his best to maintain the potential form of these players. Arsenal might be underperfoming in all these previous season but this one is different. Mikel Arteta, the players will definitely shoots huge shoot because they're so desperate to lift a title.

The history of arsenal in UCL is pretty much the same like when arsenal was playing at EPL. Nothing difference, arsenal probably lose again against bayern soon. Arsenal never had good statistic in UCL. It has ever entered into the final but this was a very long time ago.
Arsenal never repeats this because the club is too weak to get UCL. I can understand it since Arsenal must have faced so many of the strongest clubs from the various leagues. This is also giving very big pressure to Arsenal.

Arsenal will not able to give a shoot to the UCL this season. It's caused by this is too hard for arsenal even though it's still getting good result in UCL. Im doubting arsenal to win against bayern soon. bayern literally played badly in the previous stage.
Things may be the difference in the next game against arsenal. As long as bayern can play freely and the chance to beat arsenal is very big for bayern. Getting draw in the first leg will have become a key to beat arsenal. Tuchel needs to think something good to ensure bayern can qualify and the club will not sack him.

[piebeyb]

Real Madrid might be able to have additional performance with Mbappe but that will happen next season and this season they will only be the same as last season when they lost badly on the road to Manchester City.
I think the results of last season matches could happen again for this season quarter final.

Manchester City must not underestimate Madrid, if they really want to win, they must be able to focus on playing consistently and regularly on the field so they can face Madrid like last season, be more calm and measured to be able to score goals, I believe that Manchester City can do it if they don't underestimate Madrid. they will be much more focused, we all know that all of Manchester City's key players will almost be played in the first leg and if Madrid want to win they have to beat the first leg.

Playing at home, of course, Madrid has additional strength in front of all its supporters so that they can play optimally, especially since Madrid has talented young players who allow them to have strengths that are different from last season. I think this will be an interesting match compared to other matches, because both are the same. with a strong team and is certain to win the UCL title this season, whoever will qualify from this match will be able to win the title this season easily and they must play optimally and Guardiola will apply an unusual and different strategy for children his guidance when facing Madrid later.

PSG - Barcelona. Would you expect Barcelona to have their revenge on PSG this time?     The last time they played against each other was in 2021 and there was Messi in Barcelona squad as well. However the aggregate was horrible for Barcelona like 5-2.    I remember Mbappe making a hat-trick in the first leg too.

Honestly I see another matchup in which PSG will eliminate Barcelona. I'm just wondering how the results will be. If we see Mbappe in a great shape again then Barcelona had better show their best defensive performance. Otherwise at least one of the legs could end up with a quite poor score for them. Their general look in defense is really bad you know.
