UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

By next week,we will be seeing teams in action again in the UEFA champions league and one of the games I will looking forward to watching is Mancity vs Real Madrid.This game is really going to be a tough games that will continue till extra time .At this point in time,all the teams are very careful of what they are doing,and try not to make any costly mistakes that will cause the teams to loose.But if I am to make my predictions on this game,I think Real Madrid will edge it to the Semi final of the tournament,leaving Pep Guardiola's side devastated,and the moment that happens, Guardiola would want to move to another team.

We don't know that, and you don't know the plans of Pep Guardiola, same way you day he would lose its the same way you'd watch him win, so far he stands and remains the best coach in all of European footbal competition and also in the world. It's a tough test if Manchester City fails to get results while on the road, they'd have enough time for themselves to plan strategize and also anticipate the return of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid as far as I'm concerned are shot one with our a natural striker, Manchester City though would be without Kevin De Bruyne, what dies that mean for them?
Pep Guardiola has said earlier this season that all he wants is to win the treble again. Don't forget, he already won the Super League Competition against Sevilla at the start of the season.

Now we are in quarterfinals of the Champions League 2024 with all top teams are having same level of the quality and performance into their respective leagues currently Atlético Madrid is also facing same level challenge as we have for the Borussia Dortmund but as performance is surely concern for the Atlético Madrid because things are not going as we needed for them, and they were lucky enough against Inter Milan to win and have spot into this round with now they have to give their best if they wanted another success with Borussia Dortmund is surely also try his best for having better end after poor start of this season even their promotion into knockout rounds after staying into group of death is impressive, but now it's all about tough challenging performance on match day is more important.

The standings of Dortmund and Atletico Madrid in their respective leagues are almost the same. Dortmund is currently ranked 4th in the Bundesliga standings. And Atletico Madrid is ranked 5th in the Laliga standings. Which all still looks equal. And yes, Atletico Madrid was indeed lucky to beat Inter Milan and qualify for the quarter-finals. And now Atletico Madrid must not waste the opportunity they have now. And actually Atletico Madrid is also lucky because in the quarter-finals they will face Dortmund and are not the favorite team in the UCL. It's just that Dortmund cannot be underestimated either. They are quite consistent in the Bundesliga at the moment.

Both Dortmund and Atletico Madrid's performances in their home leagues are poor, which indicates that neither team is good enough this season for us to pick one to win. However, based on my observations, Atletico Madrid can defeat Dortmund; I know that Dortmund has talented players who can score goals easily, but they are not as good as they were last season. We should also consider the teams that each team faced in the Champions League round of 16 PSV was the opponent for Dortmund, and Atletico Madrid faced Inter Milan a formidable squad that is currently leading many teams in the serie A league.

It's not that Atletico Madrid is playing well this season that gives me hope that they can win the match against Dortmund; Atletico Madrid had no intention of winning any league this season other than advancing to the champions league and qualifying for another round of competition. Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid does their best to eliminate one of the best teams that is performing this season, and I think they can still perform well if they play in their field and make sure they win that match.

Both teams is underrated teams and they are not including as the favourite teams who possibly will compete to gets the trophy because Atletico Madrid and Dortmund hasn't have good history in this competition and previously i have been predict about this match before because first leg will be held at Atletico Madrid home ground and there is possibility for Atletico Madrid to win this match and why i am saying that because during this season at champion league Atletico Madrid has perfect records because since group stages until round of 16 Atletico Madrid have through an 4 matches at home and they can win all of those matches

But it won't be easy to beat Dortmund because their performance at champion league is more impressive than in Bundesliga and we have been discuss about this before because for group stages Dortmund is not the favourite team who qualified to round of 16 but Dortmund can flipped people prediction with qualified to round of 16 as champion group at that time Dortmund can win from Milan and draw against PSG and the latest is at round of 16 Dortmund can able to beat PSV and advances to the quarterfinal and for the first leg Atletico Madrid is the favourite but Dortmund potentially can makes them get in trouble so Atletico Madrid have to hard struggling to win this match

[3meek]

There are other interesting matches besides City and Madrid... like Barcelona vs PSG... Both clubs have also performed well in previous games... Or Atletico and Dortmund... It seems to me that in these matches there will be no less serious battles... Arsenal are strong now too and I think they will beat Bayern...

By next week,we will be seeing teams in action again in the UEFA champions league and one of the games I will looking forward to watching is Mancity vs Real Madrid.This game is really going to be a tough games that will continue till extra time .At this point in time,all the teams are very careful of what they are doing,and try not to make any costly mistakes that will cause the teams to loose.But if I am to make my predictions on this game,I think Real Madrid will edge it to the Semi final of the tournament,leaving Pep Guardiola's side devastated,and the moment that happens, Guardiola would want to move to another team.

I don't think the outcome of the match between Manchester City and real Madrid will be a determining factor for Pep Guardiola to leave Manchester City. Guardiola has already removed the pressure from his shoulder when he won the Champions league last season. At this point there is no pressure whatsoever on his shoulder. He has won every available trophy for Manchester City. That being said Guardiola has always seen real Madrid as an eternal rival judging from his playing days and as Barcelona coach. So he will make sure he win this real Madrid on two different ground. Manchester City will knock out real Madrid.

This is definitely the star match of the year, a match that many people are looking forward to with so much excitement. I agree with you that the match will be a big test for Pep Guardiola but what I do not agree is that he might consider leaving Man City if he is unable to beat Madrid. He has built a wonderful team in Man City and now is not the time to contemplate about leaving because any result he gets this season is acceptable to the management and fans of Man City who have waited for years without winning the Champions League before Guardiola cam and turned things around for them. The match between this two great sides is really a very close call, both are experienced in the tournament and have the players needed to excel.

[bastisisca]

This match was a semi-final like a final match. Real Madrid and Manchester City are the top teams in the Champions League and both teams have great players. Real Madrid is the master of the Champions League and there is no other team that is an exception. It will be a great battle between two exceptional coaches, Ancellotti and Guardiola, with their players.

The better team will win. There are many variables this year, we will see which one will make the difference for both teams in this semi-final match.

and yes you are absolutely right, this is the real Champions League final
we have two very strong teams but also two different philosophies that face each other and face each other, we have the classic with Real Madrid and the modern with Guardiola`s Manchester
battle that we have already seen in the past between Barcelona and Real Madrid

[pusaka]

Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world right now if not the best. So an experienced club like Manchester City with an experienced manager like Pep Guardiola would not even dare to underestimate a club like Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola once said in an interview that Real Madrid is the team he is most scared to face in the Uefa Champions League because they never give up. They got that mentality in them. So even thinking that Manchester City will be underestimating Real Madrid is pretty silly and funny.

How will anyone even think Pep Guardiola will be underestimating Real Madrid? Everyone knows Real Madrid to be a strong club, so how are you even going to think that Manchester City will underestimate Real Madrid? Pep Guardiola is going to use his best squad for the match, because if there is any slight mistakes from Pep Guardiola, Real Madrid will take advantage of that.
 
Manchester City playing against Real Madrid will be kind of difficult for Manchester City, but I just hope they will be able to win the match. I will be placing a bet on Manchester City to win. The Uefa Champions League fixture is just kind of interesting all the matches will be tough, and no club will underestimate each other.

There will be no underestimating each other, even if their opponent is not Real Madrid, they will still not underestimate the team that will be their opponent in the quarter-finals. It would be stupid for any team to try to underestimate its opponent in a round that will be as decisive as this, because after all this is the quarter-finals and all the best teams are here.
Manchester City, with the status of defending champion, will not try to underestimate its opponent, especially Real Madrid, which we know they have a very strong mentality when they are in the Champions League. Both teams will be wary of each other, especially since they have also tasted successive defeats when they met in the Champions League.

The way people are anticipating to see that match is something interesting; these teams are champions and are the two favorites to win the UEFA Champions League this season, but this quarterfinal draw has changed some narratives because one of these teams will have to be eliminated in this round, but there is hope that one of these teams will be among the finalists this season.

In this match, I am seeing Manchester City qualifying ahead of Real Madrid in my opinion because of recent form and quality of players. Although, Real Madrid is a team with huge Champions League experience, they can qualify because of that and because Ancelotti is a good coach that can make it happen.

And Atletico Madrid is ranked 5th in the Laliga standings. Which all still looks equal. And yes, Atletico Madrid was indeed lucky to beat Inter Milan and qualify for the quarter-finals.

Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid does their best to eliminate one of the best teams that is performing this season, and I think they can still perform well if they play in their field and make sure they win that match.

I am also optimistic that Diego Simeone troops can overcome Dortmund game, and by looking at Atletico Madrid's ambition and playing style, when we are aggressive, someone will do anything, even if they need to play rough. Atletico Madrid also has a lot of experience in the UCL with Simeone so they can have more chances against Dortmund.
Atletico Madrid and Dortmund are also considered dark horse teams in the UCL this time, but this match will still be fierce and could even be more entertaining. What is clear is that mentality is quite influential and will be the difference between the two teams. Atletico Madrid, who beat Inter, will certainly be more confident because last season Inter was a candidate in the final. Maybe Dortmund have to think hard because Atletico Madrid's defense remains the most difficult defense to penetrate during the UCL.

There are other interesting matches besides City and Madrid... like Barcelona vs PSG... Both clubs have also performed well in previous games... Or Atletico and Dortmund... It seems to me that in these matches there will be no less serious battles... Arsenal are strong now too and I think they will beat Bayern...

Almost all the matches in the quarter-finals were quite interesting, but many people were looking forward to the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match because these two teams were previously predicted or favored to win the title this season, but the drawing brought them together very quickly.

PSG against Barceloan is quite balanced with the strength of the teams not having much difference, making both teams have the same percentage to qualify for the semifinals, the same goes for the Atletico vs Dortmund match.
And I only favor Bayern in the match against Arsena, the rest in other matches all teams still have the same percentage.

I favor Bayern for the reason that they have a much better mentality than Arsenal, and I think they will be quite influential.

It's not that easy, what does it mean to be in a state of destruction? I don't think the UCL is an obstacle for Pep Guardiola to maximize his opportunities. Because learning from their meeting last season, Madrid is the one who must be more alert. Playing Leg 1 at Madrid's home ground, the hosts are indeed very favored, but I think Man City is also aware of this and is preparing everything to be superior. Nothing is easy to predict for either team and there is no guarantee that Madrid can win easily. This is a very important match, a big stakes match, and Madrid cannot underestimate Pep Guardiola's troops. The draw prediction could make more sense for Man City to target so that in the 2nd leg they will be favored as hosts.

The game will going to be a tough game as usual in the UEFA champions league competition and, Real Madrid will still prove to Manchester city that they know how to eliminate them  from UEFA champions league tournament which they will still make it happen next week to make other people know that Real Madrid still have talented players in this season.


I believe you see what Real Madrid did to Girona in their home last 3 games that made people to think that Girona will use that opportunity to beat Real Madrid to take the first position from them in the la Liga league but what happened to Girona that made Real Madrid to secure 4 goals without allowed Girona players to scored 1 goal from the game,  I guess that is what will happen to Manchester city in this game.

Even though Real Madrid and Manchester City always met in the previous two seasons in the semifinals, but in reality Real Madrid and Manchester City have never met in the realfinal match. Instead of meeting in the final match, in reality this season Real Madrid and Manchester City actually met in the quarter-finals. Therefore, I think this is a bad meeting for them because if they meet in the quarter-finals, then of course one of them will fall in this phase or in the quarter-finals this season will clearly be a bad moment for them . After all, so far this season, although Real Madrid has managed to be at the top of the La Liga standings, but the reality is that Real Madrid also sometimes experiences bad results. That means, Real Madrid is not completely perfect and as such, playing against Manchester City will certainly make this match difficult to predict.

The game is not close yet and during this time everything can happen to both teams before the match starts. I think Manchester City should do the best performance they can have against Real Madrid to defend the Champions League title they got before and this can be hard for Guadilo after the challenging and hard time he had before. In fact, Manchester City is not performing as well as it performed before in the last season. But Real Madrid got a better situation and players like Jude Bellingham are this team they changed their strategy hoping to beat Manchester City this time and take revenge.

[KTChampions]

I don’t think that these games have anything to do with the way things are today. This was 7 years ago. Who remains on the teams from those times? Müller, Neuer and a couple of other dinosaurs, but that's not the point: Müller may not have changed much over the years (a lot, actually), but both teams have changed a lot.
On paper, Arsenal is stronger now, but it is difficult to predict how it will all end because Bayern knows how to play high pressing, and Arsenal plays poorly without the ball. Everything will depend on whether the players can implement the tactical plans of the coaches.

Past records are important to be considered in football especially in the Champions League football. Bayern Munich has been one of the teams that always eliminated Arsenal in the Champions League for some years back, before it used to aggregate elimination because Arsene Wenger was good then and he always try his best to make sure Arsenal pass through Bayern, but unfortunately, he wasn’t able to do that and his last two season was the worst one on which Bayern defeated Arsenal 5-1 in three consecutive encounters.
Nevertheless, this is history, and Arsenal is in another form and not in the previous form just as Bayern Munich is now. I don’t think Bayern can be that good to beat Arsenal again home and away, I am not denying the facts that they qualify ahead of Arsenal, but they will struggle to eliminate Arsenal. Arsenal
Can also eliminate them.

Historical patterns made sense when teams had pronounced stylistic features and, roughly speaking, one style consistently beat the other. In modern football, teams simply do not have such pronounced features.
And tell me, if we go back to those years when Arsenal got such bad statistics, which teams had the better statistics? I think it's Real, oddly enough, but United, and who else? Bayern were on average the best (at least as good as other teams) and many teams suffered from them over those years.

The match between this two great sides is really a very close call, both are experienced in the tournament and have the players needed to excel.

It is impossible to say the opposite of what they say, it is very obvious that this will be the highlight of the UCL, Real Madrid is hungry and City wants to take them out again as they did the previous season, this time Ancelotti will not make the same mistakes as that fateful match, this time he will use his entire arsenal so that they can win this from the beginning, it is necessary to highlight that Ancelotti must be careful with Pep, because at a strategic level he is very good and can make the difference, for this reason we must do things very well, not get carried away by what may appear at first, because Pep Guardiola is one of those coaches who can always turn a game around, and that is what Madrid should take care of the most, I'm not saying either for Madrid to score 1 goal and go into defense, and although that is not Madrid's style, and for that reason things can be very different.

Regarding the other matches, they are very interesting, but I think PSG had a very easy time and I say this without offending, I see both Barcelona and Atlético as somewhat weak compared to the monsters they have to overcome, but in Anything can happen in football, there are teams that grow a lot and you can see this in the UCL.

The game will going to be a tough game as usual in the UEFA champions league competition and, Real Madrid will still prove to Manchester city that they know how to eliminate them  from UEFA champions league tournament which they will still make it happen next week to make other people know that Real Madrid still have talented players in this season.

Yes we do not doubt Madrid's capacity as the rulers of the Champions League at this time, the ability and mentality they have so far can make them continue to compete in the Champions League every season, but I think you underestimate Manchester City too much at this time, because after all Manchester City has also improved so far and even they have managed to eliminate Madrid from the Champions League several times,  Last season's 5-1 aggregate defeat should tell you how Manchester City can crush Madrid when everyone underestimates Manchester City at the moment.

I think you need to give an example that may be better than just girona, but there is nothing wrong with giving the example of the girona match in your opinion at this time, yes girona's journey in La Liga does surprise us all when other teams are indeed down, but remember bro the mentality possessed by girona is not comparable to that possessed by Manchester City at this time,  At the moment Manchester City are on fire and even they are filled with the best players who fill every line in their squad, so when you say Manchester City will be slaughtered like Madrid slaughter Girona then allow me to laugh bro .

Why do you make a comparison between Girona who is in La Liga and an English team like Manchester City who is currently in the Champions League and is also in a not bad position in the Premier League? I don't think that the two teams can be compared well enough because I think the strengths of Girona and Manchester City are very different. So Real Madrid must be able to provide more different resistance to Manchester City because the team is still quite strong this season and still has to be really taken into account by Real Madrid in the Champions League.

[el kaka22]

I have never liked Simeone and the style of football he is playing at Athletico Madrid to be fair, but I also have to congratulate them that it has been so many years and they are still going strong, even when many of the players change. That is an achievement, yes it is true that they do not win the league that often, but they at least did, and between Real and Barcelona that is a big deal as well. It is going to be pretty awesome to see them lose again lol but at least I can give them their due.

I believe that people should realize that it is not going to be that easy to achieve what they did, look at French teams for example, yeah PSG is there, but anyone else? ATM is getting crumbs left to them and still managing big things.

City are a unique team in their own way, Guardiola knows how to build a team in such a way that it is self-sufficient in many respects. And his attacking model works in such a way that the team does not depend only on the striker, since the middle line is also aimed at attacking, and the players are selected in such a way that they have universal skills that allow them to play in different positions, when for example De Bruyne, or Silva often scores goals.
