UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Frankolala]

The time Arsenal has to face Bayern Munich is very limited, because before facing Bayern Munich in the UCL there are 3 tough matches and it will drain the players energy. So I'm quite worried if Arteta has difficulty making many rotations. At the end of the month against Man City, you definitely need a solid composition of players and of course the main squad must be deployed. The next 2 matches are no less important because they are an opportunity to get 3 points and Arteta cannot underestimate his opponent.

So based on a fairly busy schedule, I wouldn't expect much if even a draw against Bayern Munich would be good enough. However the issue of dark history is also a shadow for Arsenal players, as if Bayern Munich will use it to break the spirit of their opponents.

Actually with the look of things Arsenal may likely be kicked out by Bayern Munich on the champions League quarters finals because Bayern Munich are always more favourable than Arsenal on champions league that's why they have more good history on champions league than Arsenal, although is been a while Bayern Munich meet Arsenal but I think Bayern Munich has more opportunity over Arsenal on that match and also considering the fact that champions league is not like premier League that are more easy for Arsenal to perform really good but in champions league the matches are mostly difficult because all the clubs are very strong, although I'm not disputing the fact that Arsenal is not in there good form but the truth is that Bayern Munich is a very consistent team when it comes to the champions League matches and also if you you check there last meeting with Liverpool you will see how good Bayern Munich is and beating Liverpool at the end, so if bayern Munich could perform that good it may likely not going to take much time for them to win Arsenal. So I would just say that Arsenal should focus more on there premier League matches so that there attention will not be divided.

Pardon me, if I say that this is the last stage that Arsenal will reach in the Champions League. Arsenal are not good when it comes to champions league matches compared to Bayern Munich, which makes me doubt that Arsenal would be able to win Munich.

Arsenal qualified last to the semifinals in UCL 2008/2009,and after that time, we have not seen them in the Champions League semifinals again. This shows how poor their participation in champions league is. It will not be different from the previous. Assuming they were given a different club and not Bayern Munich, maybe there will be hope for them.

The Man City vs Real Madrid match may be difficult to predict. .

The tie is difficult to predict but we can make accurate speculations. Take a look at few of my observations.

1. Manchester city team are struggling, defensively and also in the middle of the pitch. With Gungogan gone, City rely solely on rodri for balance but they are exactly upfront with all forward players getting on the scoresheet punctually.

2. The real madrid squad has done well this season, with goals spread across the front line and midfielders, they struggle for goals sometimes against the big teams, played the entire seasonn without a striker, and performed excelllently with make shift defenders. team is in great spirit.

3. Both teams have tendencies to score great goals, who will score more? City or Real Madrid?

Well, Man City this season is a little different. Because Gundogan had left and joined Barcelona at the start of the season. But De Bruyne's figure seems to be quite reliable there. After De Bruyne recovered and returned, we could see that the attack built by Man City became more well organized, just like when Gundogan was present.

Real Madrid does have a good attacking midfielder like Bellingham who is even able to score lots of goals like a striker. And the young players at Real Madrid can also be relied on. So Real Madrid will actually continue to experience improvement from season to season. But I can't predict which team will score more goals. But if Real Madrid fails to keep Haaland tight, then Man City could score first.

I have had a look and I couldn't believe that the bookmakers seem to have big faith in Arsenal and valued them as the real favorite. To give you an idea, they put Arsenal at 1.99, so let's say at 2.0, and they put Bayern Munich at 3.59.

I agree that the odds for Bayern Munich winning this game should be relatively high as it is a game away from home and it is against the team that is leading the Premier League. But given how the game developed recently for Bayern, do you think that Arsenal winning the game at 1.99 is correctly marked by the bookmakers? Even if it is marginal, it is a bit below 2.0 and I did expect something with a 2. coming first.

I don't think that Arsenal's chances of winning that game are that high. At least I wouldn't bet on it at those odds. I think it is always a good indicator to think about potential odds that someone would be willing to put money on an outcome and for me this would be more between 2.5 and 3.0, but it would definitely not be worth it when you get just under 2.0.

I don't understand why you are surprised. Do you think that the leader of the Premier League cannot win at least one home game out of two against the second Bundesliga team (current quotes suggest exactly this)?
Does the fact that Bayern in recent games have heavily beaten the outsiders of the Bundesliga and the 9th team in Serie A (Lazio) somehow change the fact that Bayern has been playing very weakly all season? Compared to Arsenal, which has been going smoothly all season, Bayern is truly an outsider.

Last season real madrid have CF, namely karim benzema was beaten 4-0 and 1-1 in the champion league. now benzema has left and his cf replacement is far inferior to benzema, only a joselu as a substitute for benzema. so if the performance is normal and there are no surprises, surely manchester city can beat and remove real madrid from the champion league again.

The Real Madrid coach is not a fool when it comes to placing players and also when it comes to choosing players to replace players who have left the Real Madrid team. Currently, everyone still admits that Manchester City is a team that is quite strong in the Champions League and also in the Premier League itself, but everyone probably still hasn't forgotten that Real Madrid is a very successful team in the Champions League so that at the moment it is still quite dangerous for other teams in terms of title contention.

Yes, although it is true that the coach will not hesitate to put his players to launch his strategy, but we need to realize that the quality of attacking players is not as strong as before, such as Karim Benzema, but it can also be said that Anceloti will not make the same strategy as Benzema, the probability that may be used must prioritize the ability of existing attacking players and not focus as before, Joselu is not as good as Benzema but there may be other options that can be used to destroy Manchester City's defense, also that Manchester City I noticed is not as crazy as last season, the game has begun to be read by other teams, some games also Manchester City seemed exhausted in running the match, so there is still a possibility that Real Madrid can beat Manchester City.

[tusandii]

I also agree that Man City will win this match. I agree that Real Madrid is a strong team, but compared to their current strength, they will be a strong team in the domestic tournament. As for the Champions League, they are just one of the championship candidates for this season.

Yes, it seems like this is the match that fans and bettors have been waiting for and if you choose City to bet on in the match, it is because you are of the opinion that City will win this match because in your opinion City is a team that has strong defensive strength. sturdy. So strong that several times in the match City only conceded a few goals, as said yes, what is clear is that this will have a big impact on the match, maybe many will choose City over Madrid.

In fact, for matches like this, I tend not to make any bets because sometimes the odds that are owned can actually be tricky because with matches that are sometimes difficult for us to guess, it makes the assessment in betting less objective.
I personally prefer to skip matches like this and prefer to switch to matches that are still possible to do and get benefits rather than making bets in matches that cannot be too guessed like this.

Although this does offer quite attractive odds in the end, it can still make us lose what is at stake so I sometimes don't want to be in such a situation and prefer a condition that is certain.
The odds of this match are still quite interesting actually but then again it could be a trap because indeed all possibilities in a big match like this are still very possible to happen.

Yes, you are right that it is difficult to predict big club matches like this, but as a fan of one of these clubs, there will still be many who choose to bet on the victory of one of these clubs and I will also bet but wait before the match starts.
Maybe in the 1st leg Real Madrid has a chance to win and I will probably bet on both clubs scoring and in the 2nd leg Manchester City will definitely score more and I will bet more on Manchester City winning in the 2nd leg .

After looking at the odds given by the bookie, I am very confident that these two clubs will score because it is impossible for one of the clubs not to score while Real Madrid will definitely score at home after that, Manchester City doesn't want to be left behind with the aggregate score Real Madrid will definitely also score 1 score.
Compared to betting on one of the clubs winning it is better to choose this option which is safer for me.

Last season real madrid have CF, namely karim benzema was beaten 4-0 and 1-1 in the champion league. now benzema has left and his cf replacement is far inferior to benzema, only a joselu as a substitute for benzema. so if the performance is normal and there are no surprises, surely manchester city can beat and remove real madrid from the champion league again.

If the outcome of a match was determined only by what you said, then it would be easy for bettors to place bets that hauled in profits. Unfortunately in football, everything doesn't work out the way you think. Even though Real Madrid no longer plays with Benzema, that doesn't mean they will have a much worse performance because a team's performance is not determined only by the role of key players, rather it refers to the strategy and how the players carry out that strategy.

It is dangerous to stake your bet on matches like this, but as a gambler that wants to enjoy the fun, it is better to stake with little amount of money, so that if the club that you stake on did not win, you will overlook it. From what you said based on your betting strategy this game both home and away, don't think that this is last season that Manchester city won the game at home by scoring three goals, it might be different this time. This was how majority of people were saying that Real Madrid will win City last season before the match turned the other way round in favor of City. Football is full of surprises.

Considering how impressively consistent Arsenal have been since the start of the season, I don't think it'll be wrong to consider them as a strong contender for the UEFA Champions League title this season but I think there are three more four clubs that are still in the competition that I'll rather consider as favourites ahead of Arsenal and that's because I think the players at Arsenal doesn't have much experience in the competition.

Every elite team will always find a way to reach the top this season. Gunners performance have not pleased me because they're just consistent for a season and the next season, they're no where to be found. Perhaps they've change and when I say that, we can be looking at the new Gunners this season. Expects the long winnings and also doing exceptionally brilliant from Arsenal. Mikel Arteta and his team should be enlisted to be among the club's to reach significant UCL finals. The UEFA Champions League is not even consider the league.

I agree about that but maybe Arsenal this season is quite different. We know that it will not be easy for Arsenal to reach the quarterfinals and they have to work hard to get rid of Porto first. After being confirmed for qualifying for the quarterfinals, Arsenal once again had to meet again with a past they didn't want to meet and that was Bayern Munich. Arsenal must be quite annoyed at why it has to be Bayern Munich but that's how the draw works and they have to accept the result.

It's really hard to believe. I tell you that if Arsenal was often bottled trophies, I doubt they will be able to do so this season. It's hard to believe Arsenal won't make the same mistakes as previous seasons. Arsenal may still struggle in the upcoming games against bayern munich soon. I don't trust this club. Arsenal is not even able building my confidence to trust it. 
I've noticed that many people were saying the same thing as you in the previous seasons. They hoped for something different to happen to Arsenal, but nothing happened till almost two decades. Arsenal continues to bottle it. This makes me very skeptical about Arsenal's chances of winning the competition soon especially UCL coz this is the hardest competition where best of the best team is competing to get the most prestigious trophy. I'm expecting the same outcome as last season, but no more. Arsenal failed in the Europa League last season with almost the same squad. How is it possible to win the UCL, where so many great clubs compete to be the best?

I also have general doubts about Arsenals ability to win the UCL given their past performances and struggles in the competition. However, it's important to remember that teams can change and grow over time and Arsenal has made some significant improvements to their squad and tactics in recent seasons. Archeta did a really good job.  Additionally its important to remember that Arsenal has a talented squad with world-class players and they have shown flashes of brilliance in recent seasons. They have also made some smart signings and have a new manager who has a proven track record of success. All of these factors suggest that they have the potential to do well in the UCL this season.

[Palakka]

Well, Man City this season is a little different. Because Gundogan had left and joined Barcelona at the start of the season. But De Bruyne's figure seems to be quite reliable there. After De Bruyne recovered and returned, we could see that the attack built by Man City became more well organized, just like when Gundogan was present.

Real Madrid does have a good attacking midfielder like Bellingham who is even able to score lots of goals like a striker. And the young players at Real Madrid can also be relied on. So Real Madrid will actually continue to experience improvement from season to season. But I can't predict which team will score more goals. But if Real Madrid fails to keep Haaland tight, then Man City could score first.

Gundogan's move to Barcelona I don't think it really affected Manchester City's performance, because after all Bruyne can still play a more vital role for Manchester City at the moment, and I think compared to Gundogan, De Bruyne is obviously better in terms of quality and also his game performance so far, at the moment it is reported that De Bruyne has suffered an injury after he also missed Belgium in international matches and if indeed the injury he has is severe Then it is certain that he will be absent for quite a long time.

I think if later De Bruyne really missed the game against Madrid, then of course Madrid will benefit greatly because indeed De Bruyne has been a vital player for Manchester City, and even when De Bruyne was injured greatly affected Manchester City performance in the league, about Belingham, of course now he is able to incarnate as a dangerous attacking midfielder and even he is able to be the difference in every game Madrid plays,  Bought for quite a Expensive from Dortmund it turns out that Belingham is able to show his capacity with every goal and assist he presents for Madrid at the moment, I think if later maybe De Bruyne plays of course the game will be a battle for two of the best midfielders at the moment.

[wiss19]

Although Manchester City, Real Madrid are opponents of each other, we definitely consider these two teams as strong rivals in the Champions League. Along with Manchester City and Real Madrid, Bayern Munich are quite strong in the Champions League tournament this season and we can list Arsenal as the favorites for the Champions League competition. Arsenal have been consistent since the start of the season but they need to be a bit more consistent as the upcoming matches are definitely tough and if Real Madrid can't perform in line with Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the upcoming matches then Bayern Munich won't do well. If Manchester City and Real Madrid qualify for the semi-finals, I would like to see Arsenal and Bayern Munich qualify for the semi-finals.  Because if all the strong teams lose in the quarter final then the final match will not be good at all.

We can't currently tag any team as hot favourite for the title with eight top teams are already in quarterfinals and things can go either way which are surely not easy to predict even after exit of Inter Milan now we have interesting situation Real Madrid is going to face Manchester City which is also interesting, and again we will have Bayern Munich or Arsenal for the next round with these things are going to be entertaining because in other group we have Atlético Madrid, PSG and Barcelona which are currently not strong enough as we have rest others.

Just because of this, all are currently predicting about winner is not easy, any team can create surprise on match day performance which is part of the Champions League history it's never been as we have all on papers.

[piebeyb]

If the outcome of a match was determined only by what you said, then it would be easy for bettors to place bets that hauled in profits. Unfortunately in football, everything doesn't work out the way you think. Even though Real Madrid no longer plays with Benzema, that doesn't mean they will have a much worse performance because a team's performance is not determined only by the role of key players, rather it refers to the strategy and how the players carry out that strategy.

Tactics and strategy are important, if you have the best key players but the strategy and tactics are not good the results will also not be good, Madrid will definitely learn from their mistakes last season when they were humiliated by Manchester City by four goals without reply, clearly that was a mistake in the strategy and tactics applied by Ancelotti where maybe Guardiola can reduce it by using a better strategy than Ancelotti, I think this will be a great match for all of us to watch because two big clubs who were predicted to be champions now meet in the quarter-finals.

I also don't see how the strengths of both of them have talented players or not, it all depends on how they apply the strategies given by the coach to play optimally. This is much more important, so sports betting is full of in-depth research before placing a bet and having a team before the match starts. Madrid against Manchester City will of course be a complicated match to predict, because both have the same strength, even though I prefer support Manchester City but I still have doubts because Madrid could give Manchester City a surprise.

[lixer]

Man City this season is a little different. Because Gundogan had left and joined Barcelona at the start of the season. But De Bruyne's figure seems to be quite reliable there. After De Bruyne recovered and returned, we could see that the attack built by Man City became more well organized, just like when Gundogan was present.

Real Madrid does have a good attacking midfielder like Bellingham who is even able to score lots of goals like a striker. And the young players at Real Madrid can also be relied on. So Real Madrid will actually continue to experience improvement from season to season. But I can't predict which team will score more goals. But if Real Madrid fails to keep Haaland tight, then Man City could score first.

In this season, we have completely different level of quality from the many teams which is surely not surprising because this is part of the game specially while teams are having transition period which is usually happened regularly currently we have all teams in different level performance and things can go either way we can't give favourite tag to any team even we all know Manchester City is currently at his best because Real Madrid is also impressive and things can go into their favour as well De Bruyne is big player, but Jude Bellingham is also having impressive season which can give them good success into this season with many top players are also giving him good back up which is best of the Carlos Ancelotti upsets are surprising performance is also part of the Champions League.

[Smack That Ace]

The match between Manchester city and Real Madrid is really an unpredictable game to me ,both teams are in their current forms, and when considering the strength of the team, the quality of players in there and the category of managers involved in the team too, they are both experienced coaches when it comes to the Champions league competition ,Therefore, to me, this game is a matter of who utilizes their opportunity well will become victors in that game.

The game would be a tough one, that’s for sure. It would be quite difficult to predict correctly a possible outcome as both teams are champions in their respective leagues.
Personally, I would be rooting for Man City to win the game and I think they’ve got what it takes to win but Real Madrid isn’t a small team that could be walked over either and they’ve got a good record playing in the championship league.
Also, Real Madrid has a knack for winning important and deciding games like these. Like you noted, It all comes down to whoever can utilize their skills and opportunities to score more goals.

But, if I consider or relate about their position in the respective league standings, then at least Manchester City is still in a very difficult situation in the title race in the Premier League standings. But about Real Madrid, at least Real Madrid has been fairly safe in the La Liga standings and therefore, then at least Real Madrid will really be able to maximize to play with great effort in the Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City. Although, I also realize that of course Manchester City will also put all their efforts in this match against Real Madrid but at least, Manchester City still has to divide their focus also for the difficult competition in the Premier League. With such considerations, it seems likely that Real Madrid will get a better chance than Manchester City in this match.

I think this is the hardest match to predict in the Quarter Finals of UEFA Champions League this season. Both the teams are in great form. But Erling Haaland seems to be struggling right now against the big teams. So I believe if Real Madrid can shut him down, then they can win. Bellingham is going under injury and is expected to be back before their match against Manchester City, so if he can be fit, he would be the key player of Real Madrid.

I believe it will be a tactical battle between the two coaches Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola. Players staying fit is one of the necessities for both the team before the match.

[Awaklara]

Tactics and strategy are important, if you have the best key players but the strategy and tactics are not good the results will also not be good, Madrid will definitely learn from their mistakes last season when they were humiliated by Manchester City by four goals without reply, clearly that was a mistake in the strategy and tactics applied by Ancelotti where maybe Guardiola can reduce it by using a better strategy than Ancelotti, I think this will be a great match for all of us to watch because two big clubs who were predicted to be champions now meet in the quarter-finals.

I also don't see how the strengths of both of them have talented players or not, it all depends on how they apply the strategies given by the coach to play optimally. This is much more important, so sports betting is full of in-depth research before placing a bet and having a team before the match starts. Madrid against Manchester City will of course be a complicated match to predict, because both have the same strength, even though I prefer support Manchester City but I still have doubts because Madrid could give Manchester City a surprise.

yes, both teams have the same quality of players. The results of the Madrid and Man City match cannot be predicted easily. but in the first leg, maybe Madrid can get a slight advantage when playing at home. Madrid must maximize this if they don't want more difficulties when they play at home to Man City.
This season's quarter-finals are filled with strong teams. maybe the results in the final will not be as we expected. A strong team meets a strong team. and from the quarter-finals to the final, maybe we will be presented with a very interesting match.

[Nheer]

The Real Madrid coach is not a fool when it comes to placing players and also when it comes to choosing players to replace players who have left the Real Madrid team. Currently, everyone still admits that Manchester City is a team that is quite strong in the Champions League and also in the Premier League itself, but everyone probably still hasn't forgotten that Real Madrid is a very successful team in the Champions League so that at the moment it is still quite dangerous for other teams in terms of title contention.

It is easier for Real Madrid to dominate when they have a Center forward and that has always been what happened in the past and it has been why they have been dominating easily. A team always needs a striker especially a top team like Real Madrid, the lack of a striker might not have an effect on them in the La Liga but it will definitely affect them in the champions league when they face stronger opponents.

The lack of striker actually affected Manchester City in their early encounter with Chelsea and Real Madrid and it cost them the trophy as they got eliminated in both seasons and that encouraged Guardiola to go on to sign Erling Haaland and just after signing him they won the Champions League title that season and won the premier league as well. A striker is always necessary for bigger teams as it makes their job more easier. In this tie against Manchester City i think Real Madrid could suffer it without a top striker but just as you said, Real Madrid is quite strong in the champions league so we shouldn’t be surprised if we see them pull stunts but i think with Erling Haaland in the squad Manchester City are the favorites to win.

Last season real madrid have CF, namely karim benzema was beaten 4-0 and 1-1 in the champion league. now benzema has left and his cf replacement is far inferior to benzema, only a joselu as a substitute for benzema. so if the performance is normal and there are no surprises, surely manchester city can beat and remove real madrid from the champion league again.

I also think so too, Karim Benzema made them a very dangerous side to face but with Joselu I don’t think they would be as dangerous. Joselu would probably not be in the starting lineup against Manchester City because he doesn’t seem to be up to the standard to play in such tough match.

[Volgastallion]

Yeah Joselu has nothing to do compared to Benzema and you dont need to know much about football to agree to that, but this Real Madrid have a super Jude Bellingham so the real comparision can be Benzema against Bellingham. Is the same Real Madrid with better middle for me, and a little minor power in foward.

[BITCOIN4X]

~Snip

Yes, you are right that it is difficult to predict big club matches like this, but as a fan of one of these clubs, there will still be many who choose to bet on the victory of one of these clubs and I will also bet but wait before the match starts.
Maybe in the 1st leg Real Madrid has a chance to win and I will probably bet on both clubs scoring and in the 2nd leg Manchester City will definitely score more and I will bet more on Manchester City winning in the 2nd leg .

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City seems to grab too much attention and at the same time many of us have ignored the other match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich. The two games were played on the same day and at exactly the same time, so I don't think we had one interesting game at that time.

Arsenal and Real Madrid are both playing at home in the first leg and I think they have a home advantage which could possibly be exploited. Arsenal is certainly not more experienced in the Champions League than Bayern Munich, but considering that Bayern Munich are not performing at their best, I think Arsenal has the possibility to win this match. Real Madrid is the same, but Manchester City is still as strong as last season. So we have two great games on the day and I don't want to miss them.

[hahay]

Yeah Joselu has nothing to do compared to Benzema and you dont need to know much about football to agree to that, but this Real Madrid have a super Jude Bellingham so the real comparision can be Benzema against Bellingham. Is the same Real Madrid with better middle for me, and a little minor power in foward.

But it seems that comparing Bellingham with Benzema is not an appropriate comparison because afterall, Bellingham and Benzema are in different positions. Therefore, it would be morea ppropriate to compare Benzema and Joselu because they are in the sameposition. But indeed, considering the opportunities that Joselu has to play, of course there is a significant difference compared to Benzema. Because after all, Benzema was the main player and also a key player for Real Madrid at that time, while Joselu was only a second tier player and with these factors too, it is not entirely appropriate to compare Benzema with Joselu.

But yes, eve nthough Joselu is notalways the first choice to play in the starting lineup but yes, at least Joselu also has the ability to score goals and make a good contribution to the results obtained by Real Madrid. So, basically all these players still have goodcontributions and qualities, eve nthough of course they have many differences, at least they can still provide good results for Real Madrid in the many matches they have played.

[indah rezqi]

I think this is the hardest match to predict in the Quarter Finals of UEFA Champions League this season. Both the teams are in great form. But Erling Haaland seems to be struggling right now against the big teams. So I believe if Real Madrid can shut him down, then they can win. Bellingham is going under injury and is expected to be back before their match against Manchester City, so if he can be fit, he would be the key player of Real Madrid.

I believe it will be a tactical battle between the two coaches Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola. Players staying fit is one of the necessities for both the team before the match.

Duke Khan

I hope that both teams can field their best squads, so that we can watch the match run with high tension. The atmosphere will be very different from other matches, because the Man City versus Madrid match can be considered an early final. It is true that it is very difficult to predict the final result, because both teams are strong candidates to win the Champions League trophy this season. The injury factor will indeed play a role in each club chances of winning, losing key players is a big loss for Pep Guardiola or Ancelotti.

Madrid may have a slight advantage in the first leg because they will act as hosts, Ancelotti will use all the resources he has to achieve revenge. On paper, both teams have the complete attributes to beat each other regardless of home or away matches, this is where it is difficult to predict the final result of this match. Furthermore, I think whoever can emerge victorious in that match and advance to the semifinals will have a big chance of winning the trophy this season.

[el kaka22]

City players may feel a little bit fatigue over winning as well, that is actually quite important. I mean by that logic Real Madrid players should all be retired lol, but after a season where you won the treble (and then won a few more) then it feels like you may not have the feeling if wanting to keep winning more and more.

This is why I believe that City may feel like they will not be forced to play that hard. They can still win it, not saying they won't, I am just saying lets not expect a domination like they had last year. Plus they keep missing players here and there, and rarely 100% healthy, so that causes a lot of trouble for them as well. This is why it is quite important to keep them constantly in action.
