UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[marcous]

To be fair, Arsenal have been one of the most consistent English Premier League teams in the past two seasons especially in their domestic league and I think it is because of the how good the club manager Mikel Arteta have been with his managerial approaches and tactics. They've gone from the Arsenal team that was always considered as an average team after Arsene Wenger left the club to become one of the most formidable English teams of the last two seasons and that's why a lot of people are tipping them to get past Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition.
Bayern Munich without doubt is a better club than the Gunners in terms of quality players as well as players that are very experienced in the Champions League but Arsenal I think still have a chance to eliminate the German champions if they can play at their best in the two-legged games

It looks like Arsenal will gain good momentum to advance to the semifinals of the Champions League this season, where Bayern have just suffered another humiliating defeat at the Allian Arena. Dortmund slaughtered Bayern with a score of 2-0, of course Bayern can show a different performance when they visit the Emirates, but bettors doubts about them have increased because the latest defeat suffered by Tuchel fleet.

We just have to wait and see how Arsenal finishes their match against City at the Etihad, where this match can more or less give an idea of the strength they currently have. Indeed, Bayern reputation in the Champions League is much better, but with their current performance, Arsenal has the opportunity to eliminate them in the quarter finals.

Arsenal consistency in the Premier League this season is the main benchmark, they come from a more competitive league, different from Bayern who play in the Bundesliga, where Bayern has lost their chance to win a trophy while Arsenal is at the top of the points table. But of course that is only an assumption, where the chances of the two teams can change again depending on the completeness of the squad they have.

Still waiting to see who will emerge victorious in the match between Paris Saint Germain vs Barcelona in the quarter-finals. In my opinion, their meeting is quite balanced, because Barcelona is not in the best condition they have, while Paris Saint Germain are good in the domestic league, but in the Champions League they often struggle. It is quite difficult to predict who will win, because the two clubs that will meet have their own advantages.

This will be proof for Xavi, because he is under a lot of pressure from management, he must be able to prove that with the current situation they are experiencing they can still compete in the Champions League. On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for Paris Saint Germain, because this might be their last season with Mbappe. We know Mbappe is a mainstay for Paris Saint Germain so they will probably rely on him once again. Yes, even though we know that it won't be enough if played by just one person.

Yes indeed, predicting the team that wins this match is a difficult prediction, because although Barcelona and PSG have good quality but at the same time their performance is also quite often in doubt. Perhaps, because their instability certainly makes them seem to have the same quality although indeed, PSG is still very strong in Ligue 1 but anyway, at this moment also that Barcelona managed to continue to improve in the La Liga standings. But indeed, although PSG is still very strong in Ligue 1 but the fact is that PSG always fails in important moments like this in the Champion League. Therefore, their shortcomings or weaknesses are a factor that makes it difficult to make a definite choice to choose the team that will win in the match between PSG v Barcelona.

I consider this a coin flip game. Both teams have equal chances and both teams are fighting with the same type of problems. Barcelona as well as PSG are both well known for losing stability during a game. PSG has the advantage with Mbappe who is able to score a goal at any time without being put into the perfect position as he can do it all by himself. I think Barcelona is currently lacking that type of player as the Messi times are long over.

Maybe the Barcelona midfield is a bit stronger, but I am not the biggest fan of their defense and PSG has a high speed attacking line obviously. It could go both ways and if I had to choose a winner, apart from the fact that I truly believe this is a coin flip, I think that PSG is going to make it to the next round. I have no specific reason for my decision other than Mbappe. I believe he could be the decisive player in this matchup.

It is fine that we begin to see Arsenal in a different level since last season. Even in the European competitions Arsenal is not that mediocrity anymore. We cannot say that their good form will only end in the premier League. There's no doubt that Bayern Munich has a better record in the Champions League than Arsenal. Even when you check the head to head, Arsenal is no where close to Bayern Munich. However, history ends one day and it could be this time.

.I know very well that if you are taking about mediocrity you wouldn't mention Arsenal because this season they have rather tried their best and have done really enough to be seen as a good team who's in form this season so they are actually away from been  seen as mediocre but they are also not a very perfect team or for me to even regard as a team who could win the champions league this season.

In as much as Arsenal seem to have better appearance this season I think it's still not enough to think they will be able to send Bayern Munich out of the champions league just like that, I still doubt how possible it will be even in cases where we do say erras and records are been broken at some point I still don't believe such will be with Arsenal and Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich isn't at all a weak team and this season their champions league performance too has been really good , it's been clos to been seen at top notch it's only in their domestic league they have got really poor performance.

Bayern Munich actually had a very poor results today but I don't think it's really going to affect their champions league performance either because they didn't really played so badly but were only not optimal with productivity today which is bad sign they would possibly not really be n the best mind butt it's n time for that so I believe that the truth Bayern Munich will have to accept will be that they will have to do more in the champions league.

I can agree with you about the performance of Arsenal in EPL. In the last 2 seasons, Arsenal always become a very competitive team, they are joining the race for the title. Now, they are leading the EPL standings although they have the same points with Liverpool. However, it is not easy to lead the EPL standings because it is the most competitive league in the world. So, if we consider the performance of Arsenal in EPL, no doubt Arsenal has a chance to beat Bayern Munich. But sometimes the performance of the team in the domestic league can't determine the performance in UCL. Bayern Munich is clear to have a better history in UCL, they already won the title many times. Bayern Munich already won 6 UCL titles. However, the current condition can be different, Bayern Munich is no longer the same as the previous Bayern Munich squad. So, I also think that Arsenal may have the chance to eliminate Bayern Munich in UCL. Moreover, the status of Arsenal is like a black horse, they are not the favorite team to win. With this status, Arsenal won't have a pressure in the match.

No, PSG tends to be favored over Barcelona in the first leg because they are playing at home. PSG has a better and more balanced squad than Barcelona, ​​​​but that is not a guarantee that PSG can win the first leg easily. Barcelona came as an experienced team even though the squad was not as good as before, but there was optimism within Barcelona that they could win it away match.

Xavi admits that his squad is younger and less experienced, but several experienced players such as Lewandowski, Joao Felix, Ilkay Gundogan and several others are expected to provide balance during the match. The match could have been one-sided if PSG had really pressed since the first half, but Barcelona's defense is currently starting to improve since Cubarsi was relied on as a center back.

In football, sometimes things happen that are not what we predict or speculate. It's true, Arsenal in the Champions League is not that prominent. However, it is important to note that history is history and does not mean it will end the same when these two teams meet again. we will know the answer after the quarter-final match is held. Will Bayern not show mercy to Arsenal, even though the match is held at the Emirates. or maybe vice versa, Arteta doesn't care which opposing team they face, the most important thing is that they have a mission to overthrow them. in addition to Arsenal, several players are doubtful if they can play, especially Gabriel Jesus and Saka. In the Munich camp, several players were also reported to be absent, including main goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. if so, we know how Sven Ulreich keeps goal for Bayern Munich. This goalkeeper's performance is very unstable. This means that Arsenal can take advantage of Bayern's weakness, especially as several of their defenders are also reported to be absent.

So, this match is interesting for me. because, maybe the situation turns around. I mean, Arsenal were able to show their abilities, especially playing in front of their own supporters.  Plus, Arsenal is currently different when Bayern beat them 10-2 on aggregate in 2017. I am an Arsenal supporter, but however I have to treat these two teams neutrally. In fact, Bayern is not as strong as before and Arsenal is starting to develop even more. The problem is, how will the mentality of Mikel Arteta's squad be tested in the quarter-final match later. In fact, even though I am a supporter of the Gunners, I am still realistic. In fact, there are other teams that are stronger and far favorites than Arsenal. However, at least I want to see how Mikel Arteta's team plays their match against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.

The Quarter Final match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich will carry so much weight majorly because of the historical records between both teams when they come to play each other especially the storied rivalry between both clubs. The Past history, with memorable encounters between both teams which have left lasting impressions on both clubs and her supporters could fuel anticipation for the upcoming match. The historical view of this match adds drama, anticipation and make this fixture real significant.
 
 ⁠Yes the past could provide inspiration but the outcome of the fixture will be solely based on the current form of the players at the clubs presently. The absence of key players will pose a major threat to any of the club and for Bayern Munich it’ll be one major worry for them as Arsenal could take massive advantage of this problem.
 
 ⁠Bayern are known for their squad depth and missing some players especially key players will be a major blow as it will probably result in adjustment in tactics which could probably not be a great idea for a big match like this. Yes this can also be an opportunity for the available players to step up their performance but the possibility of that happening is really less.
 
 ⁠Arsenal are a better team now and they will be able to pose a threat to Bayern if care isn’t taken and this is one of the major reason I’m anticipating this match as I would want to see how much improvement has happened in this Arsenal squad.

I guess most people will be wrong because everyone thinks that Arsenal can't win against Bayern Munich, I don't really understand that.
Arsenal is a really good team and they can deal with Bayern Munich..
As I said, the games are very close to being played and we will know the result soon.

It is the same as the people who support Bayern Munich, they will assume you will be wrong. Bayern Munich is a strong team, they are very capable to eliminate Arsenal. Is this wrong?  

Well, we must admit that both Bayern Munich and Arsenal are top teams in Europe. They are also competing for the titles in their domestic leagues. So, actually both Arsenal and Bayern Munich are almost in the same level. However, Bayern Munich is a bit better if we consider the history in international competition like UCL. But it also can't guarantee Bayern Munich to win the next match against Arsenal.

Whatever the result for the match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal, I hope we will see an interesting match.  

I agree with you, both teams are trying to be the best in their leagues. Both teams have been one of the strongest teams in Europe for many years and I think this match will be as difficult as the final match, not the quarter-final. There are nearly 2 weeks until the match, both teams need to prepare very well. It is also very difficult to predict which one will win.
If Bayern passes this round, they will win more easily against other teams. I think Arsenal is one of the strongest teams among their rivals

With how Bayern Munich played against Dortmund in the league today, I believe Arsenal will have a chance against them in the Champions League quarterfinals. Arsenal are better than Munich in the league because Arteta is at the top of the league table and Tuchel is struggling in second place in the Bundesliga and they are unlikely to win the Bundesliga trophy, because Leverkusen won the trophy this season and have not lost a match since the beginning of the season.Xabi Alonso is a wonderful coach. I didn't expect Leverkusen to take up form like this. .

It is a very good idea when Xabi Alonso renewed his contract with Leverkusen, so that he can be there to coach them next season in the Champions League, and I believe he will do anything possible to get another trophy next season again. Arsenal should just try and win their match against Manchester City, so that they will still be leading the Premier League table and have the chance to win the title. I know it will be very difficult to defeat Guadiola in the Etihad, but since they are some players that are injured in will affect them in the game.

I just wish people can stop underrating Arsenal and at least give them their die respect. They are playing great football now and as such, they should be hyped based on that and not be judged on what happened several years  ago when all of the present squads were not present in the squad that Bayern Munich won that day in both legs of the champions league game. Arsenal are playing good football ever since from last season and that was what gave them the qualification to this round of the Champions league. Until the game is played, we shouldn’t underrate both teams, let them show us what they got in the field of play.

Home advantage will always be favorable when two teams with equal strengths play against each other. PSG playing at home and having a more balanced squad make them currently seem superior to Barcelona. But Barcelona, despite facing challenges with an evolving squad, have a rich of experience in Champions League knock out stage. The optimism within the Barcelona camp reflects their confidence in their ability to perform.

Xavi saying his squad is young and relative lack of experience are just a mind game, I think. They have UCL-winner players like Lewandowski, Ter Stegen, and Gundogan. Their presence is expected to provide stability and leadership on the field. Despite the potential for PSG to dominate, Barcelona's character of a team won't be an easy opponent to break down. I think the outcome will hinge on individuals brilliance or mistakes.

When Arsenal managed to qualify it meant they could not be underestimated, for whatever reason Bayern Munich also had to be careful, after all both teams could fight each other 50:50 both of them were equally strong. I will not take it lightly, that the conditions of each team are different and in the hands of different coaches too. For this reason the meeting between the two is not just about experience in the UCL anymore but a battle over which coach tactics are effective. I think Arsenal can still beat Bayern Munich and that has huge potential. Bayern Munich itself now relies on Kane or Sane, while Arsenal strength is more evenly distributed, the same as Manchester City. Each line of Arsenal players is quite solid.

indeed your statement does hold truth there's reason why arsenal managed to qualify but we also need to see past histories of both team how they fare so far.
there's also chance that arsenal might qualify because of sheer luck, that should also be considered into account, because right now bayern munich also have a lot of history of solid wins i don't think its gonna be an easy game for these two teams but i rather prefer bayern munich i might be biased though with my judgement but also i favour bayern with a reason.

I also agree that the strength of the two teams will be 50/50. I won't favor any team.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich have met in 5 C1 Cups in the past 20 years. Notably, the last three confrontations between the two teams also ended with a score of 5-1 in favor of Bayern Munich. But now things are different. Arsenal has been playing top football continuously for two years now. They are a homogeneous, dangerous team that scores many goals. Arsenal, in the hands of coach Mikel Arteta, is showing the face of a true giant. The proof is that they are leading the Premier League rankings. If they defeat Bayern, Arsenal will meet Real Madrid or Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Perhaps, after two matches against Bayern and the current fierce schedule, the picture of Arsenal's results this season will be fully revealed. I'm sure Bayern Munich faces the most formidable opponent they can imagine.

I didn't expect Leverkusen to take up form like this. .

It is a very good idea when Xabi Alonso renewed his contract with Leverkusen, so that he can be there to coach them next season in the Champions League, and I believe he will do anything possible to get another trophy next season again.

I know it will be very difficult to defeat Guadiola in the Etihad, but since they are some players that are injured in will affect them in the game.

If Leverkusen extends the contract of Xabi Alonso they will not let any other teams including Liverpool or Bayern Munich even think about their coach to hire Xabi Alonso for the next season. But the fact about Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen is they are going to play in the Champions League for the next season and if they have Xabi Alonso, they will be a strong team in this tournament. However, I think Leverkusen will also need to hire some players and get improve to make them ready to play against stronger teams like Real Madrid.
Sadly we don't have Leverkusen in the Champions League in this season, but I'm waiting for it until the next season.

Of course, because Xabi Alonso extends his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi won't move to any team. Liverpool and Bayern Munich must wait for the end of his contract, his contract will expire in June 2026. It means Xabi Alonso may move to a new team in the next 2 years if there is nothing change with him and Bayer Leverkusen. But if there is something change, Xabi can leave Bayer Leverkusen earlier.

It is true, Xabi Alonso will accompany Bayer Leverkusen to play in UCL for the next season. It is very interesting to see how Bayer Leverkusen performance in UCL. I'm sure Xabi Alonso will improve Leverkusen squad due to playing in a higher competition. In my opinion, Xabi Alonso needs a better attackers because current Leverkusen attackers look not really convincing.

For this season, Leverkusen played in UEL, dude. I think it is not too bad, Leverkusen can win UEL trophy first before they win UCL trophy for the next season.

However, Arsenal's performance this season in the Premier League is very impressive, especially when they beat last season's Champions League champions, namely Manchester City, so this can be used as a benchmark that Arsenal's performance is different from the history of the previous season when Arsenal and Bayern Munich met in the Champions League, maybe that is the reason Arsenal could possibly qualify for the semifinals, although that is not an easy thing for Arsenal because what they are facing are Bundesliga giants.

Indeed, being able to beat Manchester City is not necessarily a guarantee that Arsenal will win the match against Bayern Munich because these two clubs are different, especially since home and away matches are very influential, but Arsenal's attack line is now very good and no less good than Bayern Munich so I think there will be there are many differences in their next meeting. Bayern Munich cannot repeat the same thing as their previous meeting and Arsenal also does not want to make mistakes like before.

Actually, I am also quite confused about who will win between the two, Bayern Munich and Arsenal seem to have equal strength and are trying to perform well in the Champions League, but if you look at history, Bayern Munich is indeed superior to Arsenal, but if you look at Arsenal's current performance I also can't underestimate it

But the fact about Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen is they are going to play in the Champions League for the next season and if they have Xabi Alonso, they will be a strong team in this tournament. However, I think Leverkusen will also need to hire some players and get improve to make them ready to play against stronger teams like Real Madrid.
Sadly we don't have Leverkusen in the Champions League in this season, but I'm waiting for it until the next season.

Apart from proving of course Alonso's decision to stay in Leverkusen is none other than because they will play in the Champions League next season, indeed Bayern and Liverpool will also play in the Champions League but indeed handling the team that has been built is certainly easier, than if he had to adapt to new players and squads in Liverpool and Munich later,  Leverkusen's form so far in the league is quite good but still they need improvement when it comes to playing in the Champions League next season.

At the moment the squad owned by Leverkusen is indeed very ready to face the challenge in the Bundesliga, but instead they seem to struggle when playing in the Europa League like now and of course playing in the Champions League will have a higher level than the Bundesliga and Europa League so far, I think without the improvement of the team by recruiting some star players of course Leverkusen's journey in the league next season will be short and maybe when they Just facing another European team weaker than Madrid.

Elite teams will fight to reach the tournament, I'm talking about the club's that failed to qualify this season. The UEFA Champions League title should probably be the next target for Xabi Alonso because he showed too much competent actions and capabilities of lifting the club to next phase. Bayer Leverkusen board, players and the supporters are happy to have a coach like Xabi Alonso who's very busy with the game spot. Xabi Alonso is not leaving Bayer Leverkusen this season, they're more dependent on the coach who's consistent in streak winnings.

This is a special season and we're ready to welcome every possible outcomes that will be triggered in the world of football. The results that will be generated from these UCL fixtures will be surprising. Bayern Munich lost yesterday to Borrusia Dortmund 2 nil and this is the Sam's Bayern Munich that will face Arsenal in the UEFA Champions quarterfinals. Their opponents might be weak years ago but this season is different, watching closely and seeing the top moves of these team. Bayern Munich have no strong grounds to defeats Arsenal.

I just wish people can stop underrating Arsenal and at least give them their die respect. They are playing great football now and as such, they should be hyped based on that and not be judged on what happened several years  ago when all of the present squads were not present in the squad that Bayern Munich won that day in both legs of the champions league game. Arsenal are playing good football ever since from last season and that was what gave them the qualification to this round of the Champions league. Until the game is played, we shouldn’t underrate both teams, let them show us what they got in the field of play.

Yes, no one should underestimate Arsenal, because after all, if they are in the quarter-finals, it means they are the 8 best teams in the Champions League this season. In my opinion, underestimating a team that is in the quarter-finals is a mistake.
Arsenal are also competing in the Premier League to become champions, with facts like that we should be able to know the strength of this team, yes this season they are showing something good so that even in the English league they can still compete to become champions. This is something we cannot deny that they have risen, and they are no longer the team they used to be where they always disappoint. Arsenal have the ability to inflict defeat on Bayern Munich in this Champions League quarter-final match, so no one should underestimate them. However, I am sure Bayern Munich will not do something ridiculous like that, yes they will consider Arsenal an opponent they have to be very wary of.

[pusaka]

I don't think Bayern Munich's defeat against Dortmund in the Bundesliga can be used as a reference for the match against Dortmund because of the different motivations between the two teams.
While the match against Arsenal will be different, Bayern Munich has the possibility of being slightly better than what happened in the previous season in the meeting between the two and in terms of quality these two teams have almost equal strength so indeed the Bayern Munich vs Arsenal quarter-final match will be quite fierce and very interesting.

Indeed, that cannot be used as a reference, but at least we can see how Bayern Muncih was defeated in that match, even when they acted as hosts and were the team that was the favorite to win this match. With this result, Arsenal seemed to get a breath of fresh air over what was achieved by Bayern Munich. Indeed, this match is different, but Arsenal also definitely realizes what they have to do so that they can do the same thing as Borussia Dortmund.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich must immediately forget about this defeat, because if they don't forget it quickly then maybe it will affect their mentality. You also need to remember that this is the Champions League and mentality is really needed when in this competition.

[jaberwock]

I probably won’t agree that these are equal teams. Yes, Bayern had some decline, mainly due to the internal conflict in the team of players with Tuchel, but as far as I can judge from the latest results, this conflict has been resolved, the players achieved their goal, and Tuchel will leave the team in the summer.

Arsenal, despite the fact that they show a good game, are not always stable in their results. I noticed that they can play very well against weak and average teams, but they play differently against strong teams (by the way, let's see how they show themselves against City). I think that the Bayern will not lose in London and will win at home, that’s my forecast.

I agree there is a really nice improvement in Bayern Munich's recent results. However this can still be misleading. Because Bayern Munich have had inconsistencies quite often. We don't know how determined team we will see against Arsenal for now. If we consider that the Bundesliga title has slipped through their fingers they had better fight with all they have in the Champions League.

Kane is recovering faster than the expectations which is good news for them.    Without Kane scoring issues might occur to tell the truth. He has been like a goal machine so far. As for Arsenal they actually beat even Manchester City at Emirates this season. Bayern Munich will need to be ready for fast and dangerous Arsenal attacks. 

I agree, they do look great for the time being, but that doesn't mean that we are going to get them to do very well, we should be considering if they are going to end up with anything good or not based on what they can do. I hope that people could realize that Bayern may still end up losing, I do not expect them to win UCL this season, meaning they are going to lose somewhere, and that place may or may not be where we think it is.

This is why I believe that we should be considering the situation to be a little bit different. I hope to see things changing, and Bayern getting better but I doubt that would be this late into the season, it will probably take some time to get this much better. I hope to see them do well next season instead.

Until the game is played, we shouldn’t underrate both teams, let them show us what they got in the field of play.

Yes, no one should underestimate Arsenal, because after all, if they are in the quarter-finals, it means they are the 8 best teams in the Champions League this season. In my opinion, underestimating a team that is in the quarter-finals is a mistake.
Arsenal are also competing in the Premier League to become champions, with facts like that we should be able to know the strength of this team, yes this season they are showing something good so that even in the English league they can still compete to become champions. This is something we cannot deny that they have risen, and they are no longer the team they used to be where they always disappoint. Arsenal have the ability to inflict defeat on Bayern Munich in this Champions League quarter-final match, so no one should underestimate them. However, I am sure Bayern Munich will not do something ridiculous like that, yes they will consider Arsenal an opponent they have to be very wary of.

You shouldn't blame anyone who is underestimating Arsenal, because they just see it from their own perspective that Arsenal might not be able to go beyond the stage. The reason is because, they are playing with a club that is more experienced than them in the Champions League. If I want to start naming one of Arsenal players that is certainly going to net the post on that match day, I cannot call any.

Arsenal for the first time after 2007/2008 have managed to reach the quarter final with a penalty shootout, which shows that it was a narrow escape, and a game of luck. However, we might think that the gunners don't have any bullet in their gun, but will take some shots on that day.
