UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[tyz]

Both teams are currently playing quality soccer and things are well under control for them, but prediction is not easy who is going to win this round even mostly are feeling Manchester City is favourite, but Real Madrid is also doing impressive work even they have serious injuries concern recently first leg is going to be important for the qualification with most chances Real Madrid will try their best for having good result because their home record is good in all competitions and Manchester City is also a team which can perform good in all conditions.

This match looks very fierce where the strengths of England and Spain meet to play. There is no need to doubt the abilities of these two teams, because they always perform very well in every match they face. However, in my opinion, in this match Real Madrid will really dominate the game, because I think Real Madrid's performance still looks very good and they also maintain consistency in every match. Not only that, Real Madrid is the host for this match and of course it will be very profitable for Real Madrid to play aggressively in attack. However, Real Madrid also has to be wary of attacks from Manchester City, because Manchester City's attackers are very dangerous and their midfielders are also very good at providing passes towards Real Madrid's goal.

It is very likely that this will happen. One advantage is that Real Madrid will play at home and get greater support from their guests. If you look at the past, English clubs have had a very difficult time fighting Spanish teams because in several eras in the past, Spanish clubs were said to be very strong. especially Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, because they always subscribe to the Champions League Final, there is a possibility that this match will be 50/50% and it can be said to be a draw because the strength of both clubs is equally strong and plus Man City is the defending champion last season, no It is possible that they will provide fierce resistance in the match even though Man City will come as a guest.

Without being told, a 50/50 match I am expecting to see because Manchester City is not a small team that will allow its fellow team(Real Madrid) to dominate them because they are the guest team. Manchester City don't seem to care about that because they will come out with their whole strength to make sure they win or have a draw at least. Real Madrid on the other hand, knows the team they are up against anyway(not a small team), that they will do their best to win in the first leg with them because coming to Manchester City home, it is very difficult to hold them to a draw or win them. If a team(Real Madrid) fails to win them(Manchester City) in their very home, they shouldn't be looking at winning at their own home because it will be very difficult.

Both Manchester City and Real Madrid are strong teams and it's difficult to tend to a side and the outcome of this match.
However, I see it like you, I am also  expecting a close game with Manchester City putting up a strong fight, even on their home turf. But putting all the facts together, I think Real Madrid will secure the win.

What you say is true, but we also have to look at the performance of the two teams in the Champions League match and must be aware that the match in the domestic league will be different from the match in the Champions League. I see that Arsenal did not perform well in the Champions League, even they qualified for the quarter-finals with struggled against the Porto side while Bayern Munich were slightly better
And I think the influence of mentality is also very influential, there is a different mentality between these two teams.
I don't mean to underestimate Arsenal, but I am quite pessimistic that they can produce their best performance in the quarter-final match against Bayern Munich, their mentality is not as good as Bayern Munich's so they will play under pressure which will make them slump.

So far, in my opinion, the performance of both teams in the Champions League is equally good, but neither of them has the same experience in the Champions League. Arsenal really had difficulty getting through to the quarter-finals, I admit that but this is normal because Porto also played well for up to 120 minutes. Bayern Munich is a team with a better winning mentality than Arsenal, but this is not a benchmark that Bayern Munich can beat Arsenal easily.

Both teams will do their best in the two quarterfinal games, so I still believe that their respective chances will be equal. Regardless of the probability of a home match being better for the team playing at home, Arsenal is absolutely not worth underestimating.

[Altryist]

Let's just wait for the results because there are only two English teams in this quarterfinal and the most teams are La Liga teams because they still have three teams in this quarterfinal they are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico. So yes, if for example these La Liga teams fail to qualify for the final match then of course having many teams in this phase still does not guarantee one of them to be able to get the Champion League trophy. Maybe, on paper the three teams can still be projected to win but yes, sometimes the reality is also not as easy as imagined. Because of course, their opponents also have big targets to qualify further in this Champion League. Vice versa, with fewer representative teams such as Germany and England and even France only having PSG in this phase, so they will of course really do their best to win.

The quantitative advantage can give the results, they cannot lose everything, and if we evaluate the chances of the teams, then in my opinion Atlético has the best chance of reaching the semi-finals, if we talk about the Spanish teams. Of course, you are right, it is very difficult to predict anything now and anything can happen in any pair, of course the confrontation between Barcelona and PSG will not be very simple, just like City and Real Madrid.

[Adams0001]

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. Coach Ancelotti is very experienced, but his students are still rookies who need more time to hone and perfect. I am still confident in asserting that Man City has the highest chance of winning the Champions League this season with 32%.

-snip

do you remember that Real Madrid could also score more in the first leg and maintain the aggregate score in the second leg like several seasons ago?
well, from the history of the meeting it can be taken into consideration to see the team's chances of qualifying for the next round and I don't doubt the performance of Guardiola team, but I also believe that Ancelotti is one of the smart coaches who can beat his strongest opponent.
you said that Ancelotti is a very experienced coach and that is the fact, even though the Madrid players do not all have experience in the UCL, with his experience the coach can bring Real Madrid through to the semi finals and believe me, Ancelotti also knows the weaknesses of Guardiola strategy and can exploit the weaknesses to beat Man City.
IMO, the chances of these two teams are 50:50.

Now that Ancelotti and Guardiola meet again, will Ancelotti be smart enough to know Guardiola's weaknesses?

The two best coaches in the world will face each other. However, neither considers themselves as such. The truth is that Pep and Ancelotti have some curious statistics when facing each other in the Champions League. If in the Premier League, Ancelotti never beat Pep Guardiola when he faced Man City while leading Everton, then in the Champions League, the situation is entirely opposite. And the balance is leaning more towards strategist Ancelotti. Both love football, both have the talent to manage the dressing room and the egos of big names to best promote the qualities of the superstars they have on hand. It is tough to put these two talented coaches on the scale to see who is heavy and who is light because their personalities, football thinking, training methods, and dressing room management are very different.

Definitely, Ancelotti, we know Guadiola's weaknesses this time, and they will not aim to lose to Manchester City the second time. I am confident that Real Madrid will be prepared for Guardiola, and I believe they will do their best to disqualify Guardiola in the UCL. Ancelotti and Guardiola are both very talented coaches, and everyone is doing well in their leagues. Guardiola is fighting for first place in the league table, and he wants to win the Premier League again this season, but Liverpool and Arsenal are attempting to stop them. And Ancelotti has already top the laliga league and they are in 99% of winning the laliga title, he won't stress that crucial players in the league anymore he will focus on champions league competition. he can just put his full squad when facing Barcelona because he won't try to lose at home when facing Barcelona. I can't predict who will definitely win the Champions League this season.

It's not just about knowing someone's weakness but also knowing who will be available at the time of the encounter. Ancelotti may have the best strategy in place but he doesn't have the required players to execute it perfectly due to injuries.

Guardiola is fighting for first place in the league table, and he wants to win the Premier League again this season, but Liverpool and Arsenal are attempting to stop them. And Ancelotti has already top the laliga league and they are in 99% of winning the laliga title, he won't stress that crucial players in the league anymore he will focus on champions league competition. he can just put his full squad when facing Barcelona because he won't try to lose at home when facing Barcelona. I can't predict who will definitely win the Champions League this season.

This is an important factor as well. Guardiola will have a harder job to balance his team to compete in both leagues.

As we are reading most of the soccer pundits are feeling this is going to be the final of the Champions League before real final, so this is going to be a fierce match which will be surely match of this round as well who is winning it's not clear.

Yes, this is the preliminary final. Many people predict that the winner of this match will win the Champions League competition this season. This entails them disregarding and underrating every other team currently competing in the league and awarding victory to either Manchester City or Real Madrid based on the outcome of their quarterfinal game. The debate over who will win this match will continue until the game is played and the weaker or unlucky team is eliminated from the competition. But before that, there will be a lot of speculation about the match until the final day.

The mentioned clubs, Real Madrid and Manchester City are promising, they will do better this season, really one of the tough UCL fixture and any sided that clinches upfront will definitely have a spot in the UEFA Champions League final, I don't mean they're the ones that will sits in good runs. This is not how the modern day football works, alot of things no longer works as it use to. There's specific differences specifically when there's huge difference in the system.

Considering Arsenal's current impressive form this season , it's unlikely that any team participating will underestimate their capabilities. The recent performance of Arsenal suggests they are in a particularly strong position. Therefore, when Arsenal faces off against Bayern Munich, it's clear that neither team will have an easy match. As for predicting the favorite team to win in their upcoming encounter, it's difficult for me to definitively declare Bayern Munich or Arsenal as the front-runner.

Many opinions asserting Bayern's superiority over Arsenal seem to be based solely on past encounters between the two teams. However, a deeper analysis of Arsenal's performance throughout this season compared to Bayern Munich's suggests that assuming Bayern will easily defeat Arsenal may be premature. It's essential to wait and witness the outcome of their first leg before jumping to conclusions about Bayern Munich being superior to Arsenal. Only after observing their performance on the field can we make an informed judgment about which team holds the upper hand.

Gunner's no doubts can be very great in the Premier League Competition but they're not the same in the Champions League Competition. They can get to the finals and they'll lose it. It's been like that for them even if you go back to history, I can recall my uncle telling me about a club cup finals they played against Ajax and lost the cup Competitions years back.
They're a club I have supported from last season and I want to see Mikel Arteta winning his first Premier League Competition with the club. Anyways, I'm no gunner's fan.

I'm not even expecting them to get a win against Bayern Munich. They might look good on paper according to the bookmakers, but this is Bayern Munich.
Thomas Tuchel might be having it wrong but since the game against Lazio, they have responded quite well.

[Belarge]

The UEFA Champions League will always be the best tournament in the world of football, every game is ultimately important based on the stats of the tournament, none of these teams are regarded as mediocre because they've made it to the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City have made it to this stage, importantly the game will be filled with suspense because both sides are elite and will aim for good results. Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti knows what's coming and he has prepared himself to be ready for Pep Guardiola. The last meeting ended in horrible defeats for Real Madrid and they seeks revenge this time around.

The Champions League certainly has a different atmosphere, history can always explain what has happened. Arsenal and Bayern Munich this season have displayed different patterns in their respective domestic competitions. The Gunners look solid enough so far that they are able to lead the standings, while Munich are performing far from expectations so they will have to fight it out for the rest of the season to catch Bayern Leverkusen.

In the Champions League, of course, Bayern Munich is always the favorite, they were able to perform extraordinary when they were able to overthrow Lazio and qualify for the quarter-finals. But the Gunners are also able to look different from time to time, even though they are not always the favorites, I see Arteta's troops will try hard to embarrass Bayern Munich and aim to qualify for the semifinals. Arsenal has sufficient capital to do that.

[QueenVera]

Arsenal is in second place as the favorite after Manchester City, this is quite surprising because a team like Real Madrid which has good statistics in the Champions League is not more favorited than Arsenal, but I am quite sure there will be changes after the first match of the quarter-finals is played, if Real Madrid can beat City at the Santiago Bernabéu and also Bayern Munich can take the lead at the Emirates Stadium then the favorite team will change.

Arsenal have indeed been quite impressive in the English Premier League in the last few matches, but I don't think it would be an accurate picture that they would also appear impressive in the Champions League, even in the 16th round Arsenal actually seemed to have difficulty progressing and Porto were a little unlucky in penalty shootout, and facing Bayern Munich the difficulty is even higher, even though many doubt Bayern Munich, they are not a team that will be easily beaten. Moreover, the Champions League is the remaining competition where Bayern Munich can cure the disappointment of its fans even though they did not become champions, but by advancing to the semifinals or finals it would be much better for any team.

 Looking at Arsenal this season you can tell how very impressive they’re based on form and they’re currently one of the main contenders for the EPL this season. And yes they’re sitting pretty on top of the league with very good amount of goal difference this is because of how very productive their front line has been. This Arsenal team over the past 2 seasons have showed massive growth on how they play. ⁠This massive growth is one of the many reasons why they’re being considered to be one of the major contenders for the UCL.

The one that many people are even seeing them as better contenders than Real Madrid is crazy. Like why, Real Madrid are the Champions of Europs having won over 14 UCL titles as compared to any club that comes close which is probably Liverpool with about 8 or 9. Yes Arsenal should be considered as contenders but not sure and in any way should they be above Real Madrid. Madrid are better placed than Arsenal and many should stop trying to use the results of last season to think Real Madrid will not be able to go through City in the quarter final match against them. Real Madrid are better balanced than how they looked last season.

 Arsenal being compared to Bayern Mumich can be quite understandable but not a team like Real Madrid. Yea Bayern Munich aren’t playing well this season and we won’t be surprised if Arsenal is able to go past Bayern because of how poorly the defense if Bayern is and also how very productive the attack line of Arsenal is as they’re a set of young players. I think the major problem of this Arsenal team will be how experienced they’re as you can see them having difficulties in the return leg against an experienced Porto side. Though this is Bayern Munich last hope for a trophy and as such I think they’ll come out all out for Arsenal and then Arsenal could get the advantage and hit on a counter.

[Patrol69]

Really strange to see Real Madrid down in a head to head for international games, i know is a small sample with only a few games played between both teams but still strange to see.

The sad part of having this game playing so early is we are gonna have another final where we have a clearly favorite.

It is certainly unexpected that Manchester City and Real Madrid are facing each other in the quarter-finals. We definitely expect to see the big two teams in the final or semi-finals. When the two big teams meet in the final or semi-final, we will definitely get the best team for the final. But the top 2 teams out of 8 teams are facing each other in the quarter finals where one of the top two teams will go to the semi finals and the middle teams of the other teams are likely to play the finals or semi finals. I think this competition would have been much more interesting if Manchester City and Real Madrid had met in the final.

[pawel7777]

English team dont do so good on international tournaments usually so dont take the games from Premier League like a good way to measure how good are the teams, because after that you are gonna think Premier League teams are way superior and in the real matches that is not happening. We see a lot of timesBilbao or Villarreal beating teams like Manchester united.

That's a weird statement, considering England is 2nd only to Spain in terms of performances in UCL finals by nation, with 15 titles and 11 runner-ups (Spain: 19 and 11 respectively).
That being said, in the last 5 years, English teams have won the trophy 3 times (with 3 different clubs), and the current champion is Man City, who are a massive favourite according to bookies.
So if English teams are not doing so well according to you, then I don't know who is.
And yes, like it or not, the Premier League is the strongest in the world. Just because some underperforming English team happened to lose some game doesn't change that.

We witnessed the crazy incidents of these elite teams and we should not underestimate any presence of top clubs. Things changed swiftly and we might forever remained silent because Football comes with huge surprises. With the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, I don't think La Liga clubs can currently withstand the pressure of these outstanding EPL clubs, they're definitely on another levels. Moreover the English Premier League is on another level but it's overhyped based on the presence of elite teams there.

It going to be very tough game to decide who is going to win because Madrid is one stubborn club. But we Manchester City are prepared for them anyone they want to bring we are ready to give it back to them. And there will be a lot resistance from both clubs. But they will not be able to resist us for long. And getting to this semi finals nobody will want to give up. So it is going to be hell of a challenge. I see a lot people condemning Madrid that they are relenting but everyone is just trying there best to winning. And last season Madrid lost the trophy to us so exactly what will happen this time. So Madrid is going to be trashed. So they should put it at the back of there mind that they won't win. Because Manchester City getting to this point means that we are not losing to anyone.

These two teams seem like the best team at the moment but that doesn’t mean that any team that wins this tie will go on to win the champions league. Don’t forget this is the champions league we are talking about, every team that gets to this stage shouldn’t be underrated at all because if they can’t compete in the competition they won’t get this far. We saw how Chelsea who were struggling in the premier league in the 2021 season went on to win the champions league, everyone never believed they would because they were the least favorites to win it but this is football so we should understand that anything can happen and the teams we thought are the favorites could actually fail to win it.

No doubt Real Madrid and Manchester City are doing well currently and are both in their best form in their respective leagues and i also think the match will be the most exciting match on the round and to me Manchester City are the favorites and they have my support.

[TelolettOm]

Mbappé is not a typical Center Forward, though, while Joselu is. To get the best out of him, they would probably let him roam freely around the wings. That's where he is most effective, with the help of his pace. Not someone who just waits in the box to poach for goals like Joselu.

There's going to be a huge conflict in position between him and Vini Jr. They will probably have to switch Jr to the right and the Bench Rodrigo. Sadly for Joselu and Rodrigo, Brahimi seems to be pretty impressive lately. He really tries to put in so much effort.

It is the same when you learned how the transformation of Ronaldo's position. He was a winger, too. But since he has a great ability in scoring goal, his main position to be a CF. I think Mbappe is the same, he changes the position to be a CF. I'm sure Real Madrid will put him on the CF position, Real Madrid already has enough wingers. Sure, there are many characteristics of a striker, Mbappe isn't a lazy striker who only wants to wait for the ball. This is a typical striker that Real Madrid expected. The same type of a striker like Ronaldo and Benzema.

Why it should be a conflict if Ancelotti will put him as a striker?
I don't understand why you make it be complicated. I don't see a reason that Vinicius position be bothered by Mbappe. Again, Real Madrid doesn't sign Mbappe for a winger, Real Madrid sign him for a striker position. You must know that Real Madrid is looking for the successor of Benzema/Ronaldo.

Anyway, it is good that Joselu, Brahimi, and Rodrygo played well. I don't think we must feel sad on this. Why?

This match looks very fierce where the strengths of England and Spain meet to play. There is no need to doubt the abilities of these two teams, because they always perform very well in every match they face. However, in my opinion, in this match Real Madrid will really dominate the game, because I think Real Madrid's performance still looks very good and they also maintain consistency in every match. Not only that, Real Madrid is the host for this match and of course it will be very profitable for Real Madrid to play aggressively in attack. However, Real Madrid also has to be wary of attacks from Manchester City, because Manchester City's attackers are very dangerous and their midfielders are also very good at providing passes towards Real Madrid's goal.

There is no need to argue that Manchester City are better than Real Madrid, because not even the attack and midfield of Manchester City are in very good form. Although Real Madrid are also not doing badly in their matches, if we are to compare, I think Manchester City are doing better than Real Madrid, so I think this match will be a tough game for Real Madrid. Although I believe that Manchester is not like last season, I will still say they are better than Real Madrid, and I am not trying to underrate Real Madrid performance, but this is just what I view from them. However, in this stage of competition, no opponent should be underrated, and that is why I will not underrate their performance. Furthermore, they are going to be playing at home, so they will not want to disappoint.

So Madrid is going to be trashed. So they should put it at the back of there mind that they won't win. Because Manchester City getting to this point means that we are not losing to anyone.

Last season told us about how Manchester City was totally destroying Real Madrid, and I expect the same thing to happen soon. There are not many changes from these clubs, and it makes me feel very optimistic to say that we will be seeing the same result as last season. People are focusing on madrid and they forgot that how city humiliated marid last season.
There's no difference in the squad used by Real Madrid. I'm sure De Bruyne and Madrid have not changed the compositions of their defensive line, which also makes the club weak in terms of defense. City has a lot of good defenders who are always fully ready to prevent Madrid from attacking.
Even though the city has a strong defense, it still possesses some threats from Vini, who became the key to Real Madrid's scoring against the city last season. Things will be totally changing a lot since some players like de Bruyne and Grealish will be fully ready to face Madrid soon.
City is the most equal club to the real Madrid, and I'm hoping Man Blue will be able to destroy Madrid once again. it will also put pressure on Ancelotti because by his future galacticos still not being able to beat the team consistently built by Pep Guardiola.
