UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[redsun114]

It's very clear to see, even though for fans that are not too into football, because if you look at their performance this season especially against the bigger teams,  you will observe that it was only against Manchester united that they didn't struggled, if not, they struggled against all other top side unlike last season that they where on fire.

Talking about their encounter between real madrid, to me it would be very difficult for them to eliminate real madrid considering their form, even though they are still the bookmarkers favourites, due to their experience and the kind of caliber of players in their ranks, but I believe that it's really going to be a fascinating encounter between this two teams, but nothing is impossible in football, if they can raise their game to the level of last season, then I believe that they can eliminate real madrid with such performance.

Yeah, their performance is surely not as we have in last season things are looking surely some down specially with their attack which is having no power which was expected and their performance against Liverpool and Arsenal were also not good which is clearly indicating Real Madrid is going to be the toughest opponent for them in this game and if they are going to have no goals from their attack then surely things can go against them in this quarterfinal even we can expect their elimination as well.

Even Real Madrid is also having some troubling time but still they are much better and well-balanced because they are giving their opponents no space and their track record is also much better than Manchester City so it's going to be one of the most exciting matches in coming quarterfinals for the soccer fans.

After Gundogan left, this does not mean that Manchester City's strength immediately underwent changes that made it difficult for the defending champions to maintain their performance this season. His departure cannot be a setback in the Manchester City squad, there are still other players who can replace Gundogan's role very well.

Pep Guardiola is not too bothered by Gundogan's departure, he will continue to do his best so that Manchester City can defend the title this season. The squad this season is still very solid, Manchester City is still considered the favorite team in this competition. Currently Guardiola is focusing on the opponents his team will face, Real Madrid will carry out a mission of revenge in this match. If they succeed in beating Real Madrid like they did last season, there is a big possibility that Manchester City will win this prestigious trophy again.

Gundogan became an important pillar for Manchester City when they won every title in the league or Champions League so far, but Manchester City is still Manchester City who are not dependent on one individual player in the squad, at this time I think Manchester City are no longer sad when they lose Gundogan, because after all there are some players who can indeed continue to give their best performance in helping Manchester City to victory,   Manchester City are now in a tough competition in the league, FA and Champions League so Guardiola must be able to rotate his squad well for now.

Against Madrid, it will definitely be a difficult game for Manchester City, I think the game against Madrid will be a test for Guardiola to continue to maintain their consistency, besides that the draw from Arsenal in the league certainly benefits Madrid and I think at the moment Madrid may have pocketed the gap from Manchester City weakness, making it possible for Ancelotti to exploit that weakness to get the victory as well as revenge for their failure last season.

[hahay]

Manchester City lose Gundogan this season, and you are gonna say me..... so well, is only one player among others. And yes but he has a special habilitie and that was to beccome a beast in important matches and also score important and decisive goals, and now Manchester City doesnt have that player anymore.

Still have Rodri Bernardo Silva and Julian Alvarez who also has this hability, but Gundogan was very special doing that job.

Yes indeed, because changes will always occur and thus, then of course there will always be transformations that occur because they will also not forever be able to have players like Gundogan and not forever Gundogan is at Manchester City. Therefore, this season Manchester City is really getting a difficult pressure because the competition is not as easy or smooth or as good as last season because Manchester City also got the treble winner last season. But yes, as we realize that this season Manchester City still cannot guarantee to get the trophy because yes, the competition is becoming more difficult and at the same time Manchester City's performance is not as good as last season.

The Manchester City coach himself also does not really regret losing Gundogan this season, because Manchester City still has several other players who can be relied on for this even though they do not have the special abilities that Gundogan has. However, this season the conditions may not be the same as last season even though the opponent Manchester City will face is Real Madrid because both teams have experienced changes in their performance. So the level of fierce competition will be even more visible this season in their matches.

The odds for double chance are like below. 1.56 is quite nice for Real Madrid or draw. I feel like Real Madrid won't lose home at least but it is hard to predict whether it would be a win or draw. I'm closer to draw though but double chance would be a little safer but still a risky bet of course.

Because this match will be tough enough that the two clubs will meet early, so whether the double chance bet will be better than the 1X2 bet or both teams score.

I am quite confused because it is difficult to predict, but I think this bet will be more likely to win even though it is risky because it is a bet so the risk will always be there.

Haven't decided which bet to choose yet, but who knows the bookies change the odds because there are a few league matches they have to play.

Odds are really confusing for this game with bookies doing good tricks to confuse punters even we have some significant drop in Real Madrid odds which are now from @2.80 to @2.65 after Manchester City held goalless draw against Arsenal but still things are not clear and peoples are looking for the safe bets which are surely not possible in gambling even I have personal feeling we will have win for the Real Madrid, or it's going to be drawn which mean Real Madrid/draw @1.6 is not bad and second bet is btts which is also giving same odds and over 2.5 which is some risky are offering odds of @1.7 man things are not ideal for the punters those are feeling things could be tricky in this game.

But, I am personally feeling most chances we will have win for the Real Madrid in this game with the score of 1–0 or 2–0 because currently they are having much better depth and quality for the game against Manchester City.

[ancafe]

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso will definitely add depth to the squad to make it even better, if he succeeds in winning the treble winner then this plan will be easier to realize, because Leverkusen will get more bonuses. Xabi Alonso decision to stay could also influence the players decisions, I think most of their key players will choose to stay for at least one more season. By having better rotation options, Leverkusen can balance their performance in every competition they participate in, especially when playing in the Champions League and competing with other elite European teams.

If they want to maintain their performance next season then Leverkusen should try to add depth to their squad because they will be playing in the Champions League. The decision to stay is much better than leaving too quickly to take charge of another team because Xabi Alonso needs to prove his quality as a coach. Playing in the Champions League will mean that Xabi needs several quality players because the matches there will be much different from the Bundesliga.

I think the management will try to find a solution to add depth to the squad next season. Because they cannot possibly rely on a number of existing players next season because they are worried that if they experience injury problems, their plans to compete in a higher caste will be hampered by these problems.

That's not Manchester City's weakness because Arsenal did play defensively during the match and expected a quick counter attack, you might see that Manchester City controlled possession of the ball while they continued to attack but Arsenal guarded their back line with 8 or 9 players to tighten it up, I was sure from the start Arteta wanted a draw, so there were no attacks that Arsenal could really take advantage of when there was a counterattack because they were focused on defending their back line.

I'm sure Madrid will not play defensively and focus more on attacking than defending, Manchester City is not very smart in destroying the opponent's defense so it was difficult to score goals against Arsenal yesterday, but against Madrid it seems Manchester City will definitely find a gap because Madrid will not play hang on, this is the UCL championship not the domestic league so they will play seriously unlike the Manchester city and Arsenal match yesterday which didn't look interesting and impressive for the audience. The draw did not satisfy all supporters, I think Madrid will also have difficulty winning against Manchester City and vice versa. I also don't expect the result to be a draw.

[tusandii]

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich were considered the favorites to win the Champions League this season. Real Madrid and City are going to meet in the quarter finals. Both teams are very strong. It is very difficult to predict which team will win.

Real Madrid's performance is dependent on Bellingham. Vini and Rodrygo's performance is very erratic. If these two players can perform well then their chances of victory against City will increase. De Bruyne, on the other hand, has fitness issues. De Bruyne will be with the squad against Aston Villa today. Defying Haaland and De Bruyne will certainly be challenging for Real Madrid's defenders. I decided not to bet on this match.

Maybe some people will have different opinions but in my opinion a draw could happen and I am not underestimating Real Madrid but I believe more that Manchester City will be stronger than Real Madrid.
If you say de Bruyne has a fitness problem, in my opinion it's a small problem because he's a little older, but in terms of making a real contribution, De Bruyne can still make a very good contribution and in my opinion, you shouldn't just judge De Bruyne's appearance, but look at Haaland. who is always ready to beat Real Madrid and also Rodri and other players who are very confident even when playing away.
Pep Guardiola has good experience from last season and at least the 1st leg match Manchester City can hold a draw.

It is clear that Xabi will bring in new players to complete his squad next season, but I still don't know whether this will be fully supported by Leverkusen management or not. I still want to see if Leverkusen will do everything they can to support Xabi Alonso in buying players. But for now Leverkusen should support them, because Xabi's decision is also very beneficial for them and also what Xabi has presented for them this season is truly extraordinary.
Financially, Leverkusen is in good condition, but I also don't know whether they have internal problems or not because as far as I know, there are no problems that they are facing. Hopefully Xabi Alonso can get what he needs to support his needs in every line. Because when they are in the Champions League, competition will be tighter and they need squad depth that is able to provide resistance to other strong teams. The reason is that they will face the best teams from every league in Europe.

The current odds for Real Madrid - Manchester City game are:



Manchester City are favoured even at Santiago Bernabeu by a slight margin indeed. After recent performances by Real Madrid in the tournament I understand bookmakers about not showing Real Madrid as the favourite here. I wouldn't place a bet on a side for this game but in the rematch it would make more sense. 

It is difficult to see how the odds are currently offered because seeing from the conditions, these two clubs cannot be predicted about who will win later.
Manchester City are slightly ahead in terms of odds compared to Madrid even though they play as an away club, I think it is also not a strange thing because after all, when looking at statistics, especially for the second leg which was quite dark last season and with their current condition which is nicknamed as defending champions, it provides special conditions about Manchester City which must be a favorite.
But surely this season Madrid is a little different than last season so we need to pay attention to that. Their midfield is still quite formidable now and it could be offset even though it is certain that in this first leg match Manchester City will definitely excel in possession but Madrid with its counter-attack specialists cannot be underestimated so maybe in this case I will do a slightly risky scenario where I will be in Madrid for the first leg.

Pep Guardiola has good experience from last season and at least the 1st leg match Manchester City can hold a draw.

If you refer to the temporary betting market, this match has the potential to end in a draw in the first leg even though it will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. I am quite sure that Ancelotti will not underestimate Pep Guardiola's squad, even though it looks like K Walker and Ederson, the main goalkeeper, will be absent from the meeting between these two teams. City is a strong team, especially when playing against other strong teams. If City does not have injury problems among their players, except for the two players mentioned above, City will appear using an offensive pattern. In this match, Madrid must be careful when hosting City. because, after all, Pep doesn't want to lose points even though the first leg is an away match. If I refer to the City players, it seems they are quite ready to face Madrid in Spain. Pep will of course still rely on his core players, for example De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Haaland and also Silva. Plus, Foden's performance is currently increasing. Apart from that, if we refer to the betting market again, City also has the same probability of overthrowing Madrid in the away match.

On the other hand, Don Carlo should have known and studied City's style of play based on last season's semi-final meeting. In the first leg, the match ended in a draw. when Madrid played at the Etihad Stadium, City beat Madrid with a big score. Therefore, this match is very important for Real Madrid to achieve victory in the first leg. in particular, they must overthrow by an aggregate of many goals. Unfortunately, this will not be easy to treat City like a mediocre team. So, to find out for sure how the results of the battle between these two teams will be. there is no other way, apart from waiting for the quarter-finals of the Chanpions League to be held.

Because they cannot possibly rely on a number of existing players next season because they are worried that if they experience injury problems, their plans to compete in a higher caste will be hampered by these problems.

I am sure Leverkusen will prepare themselves and their squad to undergo next season with the best competition. If Xabi Alonso stays for several seasons with them, then improvements can be expected for the better, but on the other hand Leverkusen will find it increasingly difficult to become the best if the current coach leaves for another team.

There are many rumors about Xabi Alonso's future at Leverkusen, as well as some of their best players. Some top teams will approach their good players and try to make a deal, so perhaps the performance of a team like Leverkusen will be difficult to predict next season.


By the way, Pep Guardiola seems to have started preparing the stamina of his best players ahead of the first leg against Real Madrid. I mean Pep Guardiola didn't play all his main players in the match against Aston Villa at the moment, so I see it as preparation so that the players don't get too tired for the next tough match.

Adding several additional players with great potential is something that should be done because thisseason also, thefact is Bayer Leverkusen is actually playing in the Europa League. However, only with the current depth of the squad is the fact that Xabi Alonso is truly capable and successful in making Bayer Leverkusen unbeatable in all competitions. Therefore, I think if next season Bayer Leverkusen still has the same squad as this moment, at least Bayer Leverkusen can still achieve goodresults too. But indeed, about player injury is a very bad factor because it will have a big impact on the team's performance.Therefore, adding severalplayers is still necessary, of course to overcome problems that will occur such as player injuries which of course can happen at anytime.

Talking about depth of a squad, I want to bring to your mind that the dept ofa team was at some point who they actually did groomed, those players who they will sought from out side to add to their depth were once like the players Leverkusen currently had before they got the quality they have gotten now and would look like an addition to the depth of a team so I think just going to sought players for depth isn't Leverkusens problem at this time.

If Xabi is staying back I think improvement and build up should be their target and they will have the depth that others would even desire such that they will want to come get their players. Leverkusen players have got an experience outside the bundesliga already so it wouldn't be totally new playing outside bundesliga next season, they Europe wherein they are doing fyn has got a slight similarities and idea into what the champions league would look like so basically there's no need of going to sought for too many players in order to add depth to the team that would have been necessary if Xabi was not staying back.

Although it will be their first time in a long while but they can still perform so well too if they put their mids to it a d considering the kind of coach they have got, I have almost no fears for Leverkusen rather I feel others would even want to come get players from Leverkusen to add to their own depth because these players are actually building a rear record in European football and it's very commendable I still trust and believe the Leverkusen squad.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Bayern Munich have rebuilt their squad this season and Bayern Munich have spent a considerable amount of money this season to strengthen their attacking line. Bayern Munich signed a star like Harry Kane but still I don't know why they can't be consistent. The team has been in second place since the start of the Bundesliga season and has been unable to compete with Leverkusen despite trying from the start. It is still uncertain whether Harry Kane will be available for the Champions League clash against Arsenal as the England star was sidelined with an injury in England's last friendly against Brazil. If Bayern Munich have to field against Arsenal with the absence of Harry Kane, then Bayern Munich may fall behind against Arsenal. Arsenal had several injury problems last season but this season they have not had so many injury problems so it wouldn't surprise us at all if Arsenal win against Bayern Munich.

There are many things that may be influencing Bayern Munich to not be able to do things well, maybe they are exaggerating too much and things are not going well, I do not know if it is because of the desire to do things better, or because they are losing to win the Bundesliga and Leverkusen is the main contender for them and they do not see that they can do something to reach them even though they have a Harry Kane that cost them a lot to bring him, this is something they also see, in this order of ideas it can be said that they have a great opportunity to do things better if they put or focus on the UCL, it is one of the things that can be favorable and they would be saving their position, maybe the fans will understand that for them the UCL is better than the Bundesliga, they have lost sight of it without a doubt, at this moment Leverkusen is playing against Hoffenheim and Leverkusen is losing, this could be favorable for Bayern if Leverkusen loses this match.

Julian Nagelsmann returning to Bayern Munich remains a possibility

Bayern Munich chiefs have their work cut out to find the successor of Thomas Tuchel after Xabi Alonso decides to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. The Spanish coach was the top target for Bayern to take over the head coach position in the summer.

Max Eberl and Christoph Freund will work on the alternative options after Alonso announced his decision on Friday. Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi is a strong candidate for this role, as Eberl held talks with him during the international break. Aston Villa's Unai Emery has also been linked with a move to Bayern.

Apart from De Zerbi, Julian Nagelsmann has now emerged as another strong candidate to become Bayern’s new head coach. On Friday, Sky Sports in Germany reported that Nagelsmann is on Bayern’s shortlist. Meanwhile, Bild reported that Eberl has already held talks with Nagelsmann’s representatives.

Bayern Munich have no choice but to focus on the Champions League now that they have fallen so far behind in their own league, as far behind as Bayern Munich, they may not be able to win the title in the end. They are far behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and no matter how hard they try, they may not be able to close the points gap between the two sides this season. But this team still has full potential to do well in the Champions League if Bayern Munich can capitalize on that potential. Step-by-step Bayern Munich will have to plan, as they have two legs of the quarter-finals ahead of them with the first leg between the two legs. If planning is successful in the first leg match, then plan for the second leg match and then again plan for the semi-final opponent. If this is the right plan for Bayern Munich to move forward then surely Bayern Munich can do well in the Champions League.

The truth is that what has happened to Bayern in the Bundesliga is something that has to be overcome immediately, they cannot stay in the device and I am sorry, I think that the coach must now act on that, however I see that things are very different When it comes to doing other things, for example, Bayern has always been a strong team and has always had very high chances of winning the UCL, in this case Arsenal will try to defeat it, from what I have seen Arsenal is already ahead in the PL against Liverpool, and it's strange, they should have a bigger advantage, because last time they only made or got a draw against City, now things here are different, I think that many teams take the UCL very seriously because it matters more privileges, here it is only the best of the best, and I think that makes them much more eager to do things well, if they manage to become UCL champions, the Bundesliga will be left behind.

Because this match will be tough enough that the two clubs will meet early, so whether the double chance bet will be better than the 1X2 bet or both teams score.

I am quite confused because it is difficult to predict, but I think this bet will be more likely to win even though it is risky because it is a bet so the risk will always be there.

Haven't decided which bet to choose yet, but who knows the bookies change the odds because there are a few league matches they have to play.

But, I am personally feeling most chances we will have win for the Real Madrid in this game with the score of 1–0 or 2–0 because currently they are having much better depth and quality for the game against Manchester City.

I'm not believing all of this crap. I used to wager what was on my mind: anyone who performed well would win the match, and Real Madrid are the favorites to beat Manchester City in the Champions League. Since some of Guadiola's players are injured and Real Madrid will have the advantage and win the match if the players do not return before the game, if someone is following  big odd on bet in will definitely lose sometimes, he used to confuse people and when you follow to big odds, you will see you will win sometimes and lose. I will bet on Real Madrid against Manchester City as a home win or draw because I absolutely believe. because I just believe Manchester City can not defeat real madrid at home. let see what Madrid will play next week against Manchester City because now currently Real Madrid are more performing more then them this season.

I guess I will prefer to bet on Real Madrid double chance which seems a reasonable risk to take. I'm expecting a similar start to their previous draw against each other. Real Madrid would resist at Santiago Bernabeu and wouldn't lose I think. But when it comes to the rematch I can't be much positive about them. Especially if they can't make a significant progress after the Leipzig matches it wouldn't be too difficult for Manchester City to finish them.

Real Madrid have been better this season than last season, so I have no reason to doubt them in the Champions League even if they have to face Manchester City again like last season. Of course Bellingham will be the difference this season and I hope he can make a big contribution to proving that Real Madrid deserves to qualify for the semifinals instead of Manchester City.

Manchester City is certainly ready for all the challenges that exist, after all they are the defending champions who are currently also having good performance. There is a weak side that Real Madrid can exploit in the Manchester City squad in the first leg, and that is the limping defense of the Manchester City squad due to injuries. But there are things you should pay attention to, Foden and several other players were really good in today's match and that must be taken into consideration by Ancelotti when preparing his strategy.

Though they still lack a natural central forward and that's a huge drawback for me when you consider it, against Manchester City that will definitely make the defenders of Manchester City feel too relax from the start of the game to the end of the game.
Having your opposite defenders feeling relaxed wouldn't be a wise idea. Though your points of improvement have also been seen .

Both just Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and also the name Rodrygo had also contributed good number of goals for Real Madrid do far this season.

Manchester City on the others side have some difficulties with chances creation and the all round performance of the club. Pep Guardiola's tactics seem to be faulting. You have got to play close attention to know all these

[el kaka22]

For me, the first Real vs City game looks "easy". Not that it will ever be easy of course, but Manchester City is trying to win the premier league, so they can't really rest their players in the league games, if it was like last year when they were ahead so much, they could have rested some of their players, but right now that is not possible. Considering that as a problem, we could see that they have a game, and then they will take only 2 day break and then play Real Madrid, who will be rested.

This is why betting on Real Madrid to win that game seems like a good idea to me. I can't guarantee that though, I mean City could still end up winning of course, they are a great team who can do so much, I am just assuming.
