UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

I'm sure Bayern can still put in another different performance in the Community League and it will be easy to beat them. If you look at the strength of Bayern and Arsenal, the real system has strength that is not very high. Arsenal will try to spoil Bayern's time on the board and use the opportunity to win the trophy they play in this season's school tournament through the middle.

Bayern Munich after losing in the domestic league to Dortmund can be concluded that their dominance in the UCL league has ended, their self-confidence is still low at the moment, in contrast to Arsenal who successfully held Man City to a draw in the Domestic league. Mentally they are also quite strong this season, in contrast to Bayern Munich whose mentality has declined. For now, that's what I see in Bayern Munich's match against Arsenal. I'm sure Arsenal can ruin Bayern Munich's game.

The reason is, Arsenal is now different from when they were still coached by Arsen Wenger when they lost twice with scores of 5-1 and 1-5. However, the current Bayern Munich is not the Bayern Munich that used to be strong and always dominated. Now Bayern Munich under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel is below Leverkusen in the Bundesliga league so the chances of qualifying for the semifinals of the UCL league can be said to be almost the same, namely 50-50. However, my prediction is that Arsenal can make new history this season by beating Bayern Munich.

I think Arteta's team, Arsenal, will really be more enthusiastic in the UCL match against Bayern. Because after I saw Arsenal able to hold Man City to a draw at the Etihad Stadium, I began to realize that Arsenal this season has indeed become much stronger than last season. So Harry Kane and his friends will probably face quite a tough match. Because the opponent they will face, namely Arsenal, seems to have the same level of performance as Man City. Bayern has a sharp front line. And Arsenal actually has a more solid defense. And Arsenal also has an equally sharp attack line. the match will probably be quite fierce. But I hope that in the first leg we can see which team loses or wins and hopefully there won't be a draw.

Xabi is taking risk by staying in Leverkusen as they might not be able to repeat this success next season. With limited player resource, they will have big troubles by defending their Bundesliga title while discover Champions League. It will put Leverkusen under pressure of using their player resource very wisely to maintain good performances in Bundesliga but still don't affect their discovery about their own ability in the Champions League.

I think staying at Leverkusen is the lowest risk of them all. Going to any of the teams coming for him would be a very big risk. Can you imagine the pressure that'll come with coaching a club like Madrid or Bayern or even Liverpool?
It's a very good decision to stay at Leverkusen for at least one more season. He just won them the league and took them to the Champions League, it won't be proper to not play the Champions League with them before going to a bigger club.

There is less pressure at Leverkusen. He has won them the league, if they finish next season without a trophy it wouldn't mean anything for a club like Leverkusen. What matters is he brought them to the Champions League and they will compete for it. Who knows, they might surprise us again.
Winning the league will open up doors for better recruitment, so they'll be able to recruit better players. Also, with Alonso staying, the star players of Leverkusen won't leave. When a team has a good project like Leverkusen does, convincing players to sign for them won't be a problem.

Bayern Munich winning the first leg is what I don't understand and secondly I don't think Arsenal will be so stupid allowing Bayern Munich win at the Emirate stadium. Concerning the second leg I can't predict but if the goal difference is much during the first leg then Arsenal will definitely win the game.
From my opinion predicting the match is difficult but let's not forget the strength of both teams this season and Arsenal has been playing effortlessly, watching yesterday match also show the strength of Arsenal this season so I don't think Bayern Munich will win so easily or rather I don't think Bayern can defeat Arsenal.

Well, we will find out that the meeting between these two teams will be held in the quarter-finals later. can Arsenal beat Bayern Munich at the Emirtes, or will Bayern win the away match at Arsenal's home ground. This is very interesting for me personally, because it looks like this match will present a very exciting and interesting fight. however, referring to betting options, Arsenal is more favored in the first leg than Bayern Munich. Arsenal with odds @1.95, Bayern Munich with odds @3.80. meaning, the home team is superior to the opposing team.

Because I am an Arsenal supporter, I hope the Gunners are able to overthrow Bayern with a big goal aggregate. Moreover, if in the next match Tuchel cannot play Neuer as the main goalkeeper. Supposedly, Arsenal should take advantage of the momentum of playing at their own home. To be sure, we are waiting for this match meeting to be held. Which team will be able to win the match in this first leg, I suspect both teams have the opportunity to beat each other. both in the first leg and the second leg.

It will put Leverkusen under pressure of using their player resource very wisely to maintain good performances in Bundesliga but still don't affect their discovery about their own ability in the Champions League.

Every elite team that made it up to final phase have intentions of lifting the UEFA Champions League. Though they have to fight harder for the Bundesliga title. The Bundesliga title is among Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. However Bayern Munich have fallen from the top race and they will have to settle for a more unexpected position. Bayer Leverkusen headcoach, Xabi Alonso knows what's best for him and he will definitely do everything within his reach to ensure everything works perfect for the club, more especially interms of winning significant points.

Manchester City's head coach Pep Guardiola feels frustrated with the Premier League schedule ahead of facing Real Madrid in the first leg of quarter final the Champions League match. Real Madrid got advantage before facing Manchester City on the first leg because have taking rest many days than Manchester City with three days left.
For the first leg match, Real Madrid get more than ten days rest after facing Athletic Bilbao without any match yet until facing Manchester City, difference with The Citizen have two matches before facing Madrid and Pep Guardiola seems not happy with Premier League matches schedule with space three days left only after facing Crystal Palace.

I don't understand what are you trying to explain, but it is not Community League. It is UEFA Champions League, this is the highest football competition in the world. No team has a guarantee to win UCL trophy, including Bayern Munich. In the quarter-final, Bayern Munich will face Arsenal, it shouldn't be easy for Bayern Munich to beat Arsenal. If you look at the EPL standings, you must be aware that Arsenal is strong enough to challenge Bayern Munich.

Indeed, in the Champions League there is no guarantee that a team will win the trophy, but to become champions you can look at the squad and team mentality and my prediction this season falls on Real Madrid.

My feeling is that in Arsenal's match against Bayern Munich, Arsenal can qualify for the semifinals. Don't underestimate Bayern Munich in the UCL, but so far Arsenal is a better team this season than Bayern Munich. It's true that the domestic league is not a reference, but for me it will still have a bit of an influence.

Apart from that, Arsenal is more consistent than Bayern Munich and also the mentality of Arteta's team is very scary this season, it is proven that they have never lost against Man City and Liverpool in the league. Lastly, Bayern Munich's record against Arsenal in the knockout phase cannot be the only reflection because Arsenal is 4-5x stronger than their squad in 2017 and Bayern Munich has been left behind by players like Lewandowski, Robben, Thiago, Ribery, Kroos, Schweinsteiger .

Pep will say nothing if his team get benefit from his club schedule than Real Madrid. It's life, sometimes your team will get benefit from fixtures and sometimes will get disadvantage against your opponents.

To defend Champions League title, there are many challenges and fixtures are one of barriers. Real Madrid also created advantage by maintaining 8 points gap with their competitors in La Liga so they are able to plan for two quarter final matches better than Manchester City. Even if two clubs have same fixtures before quarter finals, Manchester City still face with bigger pressure from their domestic league title race than Real Madrid because they are at a third position with less points than both Liverpool and Arsenal.

Yes, im interesting Real Madrid vs Man City match. Real Madrid must learn from Arsenal. When playing the Etihad stadium they managed to frustrate Man City. Even their two defenders managed to keep Haaland motionless and were said to be like amateur players. They will have to maximise the match at the Bernabeu and may have to park the bus at the Etihad. Madrid and Arsenal have different characters, but Anceloti can learn from Arteta.

What is certain is that Real Madrid will learn from their previous mistake when Manchester City beat Real Madrid in the Champions League last season and will try harder this season so that Manchester City will have difficulty fighting Real Madrid and will not be able to break through Real Madrid's defense easily. Carlo Ancelotti already understands what must be done so that his club is able to provide fierce resistance. Real Madrid's performance is different from last season and this season Real Madrid has become a stronger club so that they can compete again in the Champions League and beat Manchester City so they can win the League trophy. Champions for the 15th time, I also really want Real Madrid to lift the trophy this season if they manage to beat Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta and Carlo Ancelotti's coaching systems are different and maybe it's true as you said. Carlo Ancelotti definitely learned a lot from this crucial match and understands the strategy that Arteta gave and that can be applied by Real Madrid when facing Manchester City, but in my opinion, Real Madrid shouldn't Just relying on a defensive strategy, the attacking strategy must also be more effective because a draw alone is not enough to get Real Madrid through to the semifinals, Real Madrid must also be able to create a large aggregate when the match is played at home so that they have a chance to qualify.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City have been in a similar situation this season. Manchester City are not in great form like last season. Haaland's performance has been slow this season. Manchester's overall performance is also slow due to De Bruyne's injury. We did not see the expected good performance from the Manchester City players even against Arsenal a few days back. Manchester City have trouble winning against the big teams.

On the other hand, the performance of the two attacking players of Real Madrid, Vini and Rodrygo, has been erratic. If these two players play well, it will be possible for Real Madrid to win against Manchester City. Bellingham's performance alone will not be enough for Madrid to beat Manchester City.

Xabi Alonso made an excellent decision to continue with the team next season. Leverkusen will play in the next Champions League, they will need a coach like Xabi Alonso because he has played in major competitions such as the Champions League. I can't wait to see the club compete with the clubs from other leagues, as we have seen how they competed with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title race this season. You're right, they need to add more players next season, so they shouldn't be eliminated so easily, because they will face difficult challenges in the next Champions League if they meet a major team like Real Madrid or Manchester City, we don't know if their current players will have strength to play this way next season.

This is an unexpected decision, he had so many opportunities to move to another more top club, but he decided to stay at Bayer. I don’t know what to say, in my opinion this is not the best decision he could make, perhaps he is counting on the fact that next season he will be able to repeat all the success again. I think that he will not be able to repeat the same thing next season, perhaps this is a mistake, especially if the next season can be worse, he will not have as many offers as now. But this is his choice, apparently he just doesn’t want to change anything.

I think Xabi has made the right decision even though most people really regret what happened where Xabi rejected the offer to become coach of Bayern Munich and Liverpool, but looking at the quality and stability of Leverkusen current performance there is still big chance that next season will perform well.
Unless there are some problems that occur that might affect Leverkusen performance and make their condition worse, I just not sure that Leverkusen will experience serious problems as long as they all work well.
In addition, Leverkusen will participate in the UCL competition next season and that is good opportunity for Xabi to show his performance as great coach by keeping Leverkusen competitive even though they have bigger and stronger opponents.

Moreover, even though for now Xabi has rejected the offer, there is still possibility that next season Bayern Munich will make the same offer again.
And the priority for these two teams now is that Bayern Munich is focused on the UCL competition which has reached the quarter-finals and Xabi is focused on bringing Leverkusen to the semifinals of the Europa League so they can continue fighting to win the title.

Manchester City and real Madrid meeting on quarter finals will actually be very troubling for Pep Guardiola because unlike there every other matches this is the match they really need to win in other for them to be hopeful of wining the league, this is a match that would be very difficult to predict because the both sides are very good but with Manchester City recent matches especially with arsenal it seems there performance has gone down a bit because if it was when Manchester City is on there good form they would have actually win the match, so now Pep Guardiola will be very troubled because real Madrid is a very bright club that has more champions League experience than Manchester city.

This is an interesting match, but the injured players may be reducing the hype from this match caused by people don't see what they wanted to see.I hope that some players like de bruyne will be playing since the first half. If some important players are forced to leave the match due to injury and this will be also ruining the game, the hype will suffer and anyone will feel disappoint with it. I don't think you can really compare Arsenal to Real Madrid. Madrid used the same defensive line as last season which can be identifying easily by manchester city, while Arsenal clearly has different defenders compared to the real madrid.

Madrid will be unable to completely replicate what Arsenal has done to the club. But, i'm still expecting Real Madrid to replicate the result of Arsenal vs Manchester City. It will help City kick Madrid out of the club once more. It's a very disappointing result. I don't even expect it to happen with the club.
King City is on track to win the UCL again this season. The only downside is that the city will be missing some key players, such as Walker, who is very good on defense and speed, and Stones, who specializes in air duels. Manchester city shall get draw against madrid to help it qualify for the semi final but this is not gonna ba an easy game for madrid. Madrid is strong but city probably even stronger than it.This is gonna be a very important game for madrid.

Real Madrid will try to apply the tactics used by Arsenal to beat City. But I'm sure City will also learn from the draw against Arsenal and they will try to cover those weaknesses. Pep is a genius coach. Maybe he couldn't dismantle Arsenal's tactics in that match but he wouldn't be trapped by the same tactics. So I don't think Madrid can copy Arsenal's tactics to stop City. Ancelotti is a great coach and he could see Arsenal's weaknesses in that match. But Guardiola will definitely cover that weakness.

Ancelotti has been confirm this situation too that without hesitate he says Real Madrid has good advantages to prepare their fitness conditions for quarterfinal match later this because at least Real Madrid has 9 days to rest their players and for Manchester City they will have tight schedules for next 10 days because they have to playing against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in Premier League so Guardiola a bit difficult to ensure all of players fitness before the match against Real Madrid later moreover Manchester City has facing unfavourable conditions because some of their players are still got injured

Real Madrid will playing as a host and i am sure they will utilized this match to gets the winning results because if they win from this match then Real Madrid journey for second leg will be more easy but although some of Manchester City players were fatigue because of tight schedules but they are as defending champion and it won't be easy for Real Madrid to beat them moreover Real Madrid has poor records from Manchester City however talking about betting options the odds between them is not so different but although this is home match for Real Madrid but their status as underdog team and here is current odds for both teams

Real Madrid @2.80
Manchester City @2.45

It has been a problem for quite a long time for teams in the English Premier League that they face a tighter match schedule than teams in other leagues, and perhaps that can be an obstacle when they still have to play matches in several different tournaments.
With the number of days to rest is very different, it will likely affect Manchester City's performance in the future because after all it is impossible for City to only focus on the Champions League match and rest some of its core players because it is still possible for them to win the English Premier League title but this can only be done if they win. all the remaining matches and that can be achieved if all their core players are fit and play in all the matches.
It's a tough task for Pep to get his team to perform well in the Champions League match, so that if they fail later it should be understood because the players are tired.

What injury to De Bruyne are you talking about? He's back in the game and he's fine. The only thing I had to worry about was Ederson's absence, but after Ortega replaced him, he didn't concede a single goal, so in my opinion everything is fine. But City’s attack in important matches showed itself to be weak, by the way, this is what Haaland is often reproached for, that he plays weakly in matches with strong teams. But Foden also couldn’t do anything in these matches, so we now have to hope that Liverpool and Arsenal will lose points with other teams.

Ortega is still able to maintain Guardiola's trust at this time to replace Ederson's role in guarding Manchester City's goal, Ortega's brilliant performance certainly makes Guardiola not hesitate to play him in the game against Madrid later, but I think the draw between Arsenal and Manchester City last Sunday could be one of the factors in Madrid's victory when meeting Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinals later.

Arsenal's ability to suppress Manchester City in the Premier League match this week is of course very successful and makes Manchester City players quite frustrated in the game, Arsenal's ability to defend and limit the movement of Manchester City's mainstay players is certainly  for Emulated Madrid in the game later, and I think Ancelotti will also do the same as Arteta did in reducing the sharpness of Manchester City's attackers later,  By restricting space of Phil Foden, De Bruyne and Haaland certainly makes Manchester City's attack easy to break and of course Ancelotti must be able to give the task to his defenders to be able to turn off manchester city players, especialy Haaland movement like Gabriel and Saliba did in that the match.

Arsenal played defensive proactively in that match and they tried to block space in the center to minimize risk and danger from Manchester City. Their success also comes from decision of Pep Guardiola but did not let Manchester City to play more at two swings but focus too much on center field. De Bruyne, Foden and Haaland did not have enough space to play and Manchester City created more opportunities in the second half by sending Grealish and Doku and playing more at their two swings.

Ancelotti and Real Madrid can look at this performance of Arsenal and think of tactics to cope with Manchester City in two quarter final matches. They got some hints from Arsenal but must be carefully and have plan B too. Because Pep Guardiola is very flexible and he can make big surprise in his chosen tactics and players for two matches against Real Madrid.
