UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[3meek]

It was a bad night for Barcelona, as they took the lead of 4-2 in goal aggregate, but unfortunately for them a red card weaken the team and the whole game turned back to hunt them. I will say why the defense was porous was because the vacuum Araujo left was not filled. He is a defender and made the worst decision that cost them their exit out of the champions league, because they were playing with a big team.

Red card becomes a big problem for Barcelona (in fact, for any club, of course). Araujo was not careful in bringing down his opponent, so he received the red card after VAR analysis. And this really made the situation completely reversed for PSG to be able to attack Barcelona more easily. In fact, Barcelona was already in the lead from a goal by Rapinha in the 12th minute. This really was quite a bad dream for Barcelona, because after winning at home to PSG, it turned out that it could be turned around very hard. Say bye to Barcelona, the important thing is that PSG really has the chance to enter the final if they can win against Dortmund. And it seems like it would be very possible to do that

I watched the match and it was noticeable that the red card greatly affected Barcelona's efficiency, despite its brilliant performance with only ten players. It was clear that Barcelona became disorganized after Araujo left due to exclusion.
This was a dream come true for Paris Saint-Germain to achieve excellence and qualify for the next league. The goal difference was not very wide, however, and all analysts in sports publications, in addition to club experts, confirmed that PSG would have been far from winning this victory had it not been for the fatal foul that caused Araujo's elimination. The same analysts confirmed that Barcelona's chances of winning would not have been diminished by the exclusion of one player, regardless of his position or performance, if the opposing team had not been PSG.

Still, Barcelona were very hurt by the red card... I think that if it wasn't for that, they could have won... I would also like to point out that Xavi also did badly that he couldn't contain his emotions and got a red card too... When your team is in trouble, you should not do stupid things... PSG was lucky in this game... This is football and sometimes it happens...

[hahay]

My predictions went horribly wrong for the quaterfinals for the champions league. After the 1st leg, I had predicted Barcelona to win over PSG on homeground and I was wrong. I predicted the same for Manchester City and I was wrong again. I got right on Dortmund and Bayern but that don't matter much.
Now there two all time highest semi final participants team in this season semi finals too. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and I believe we'll see them fight for the finals and Dortmund and PSG both are not in their best and are on semis winning poorer teams.

As Real Madrid is a very good team and Man City is also a good team, it was a very tough game in this match, but in this match Man City won the match but lost it after protecting themselves for a few steps. However, PSG's match with Barcelona was a boring game. It was not expected that Barcelona would play so badly against PSG. Like you, I predicted that Barcelona would win that match, and I was wrong. But I was confused about today's match against Man City and Real Madrid. Here Real Madrid won the match

Real Madrid has a good defense and at the same time, even though Manchester City dominated the match, but in reality Manchester City was weak in attack. Therefore, Manchester City was only able to score an equalizer through a goal scored by De Bruyne. I watched the match in extra time and there Manchester City still dominated with high ball possession. But again and again, Real Madrid's defense line was so disciplined that Manchester City's attack really did not pose a significant threat to Real Madrid's defense line . But yes, it looks like Manchester City and Real Madrid have an attempt to determine victory in the penalty shootout. But yes, even though Manchester City was playing at home, but the Manchester City penalty taker was really nervous about executing the penalty kick until in the end they missed.

We all know that he wasn't good at all, but somehow he managed to come to semi-finals of UCL one way again, and I believe that Tuchel should be fired after having such a horrible season at Bayern, but even if he wins UCL, it will not make him look good but he could totally go for his next job saying he has won another UCL as well. I do believe that Real Madrid looks much better though, it could mean that they could just lose next game up, and we just need to make sure all looks decent.

Being able to reach the UCL semi-finals is a great achievement for Tuchel when he is having a poor season in the league. I think Tuchel will try hard and focus only on the Champions League. They will face Real Madrid, the strongest team in the UCL this season. This is my personal opinion, after they managed to get rid of Manchester City, Real Madrid was automatically on the first list of my favorite teams to win the UCL this season. If Munich can beat Real Madrid, then they have a big chance of winning the UCL. I'm not saying PSG or Dortmund are weak teams but I think Madrid is the biggest challenge for all the teams in the semifinals. Honestly I think Munich will lose in the semifinals because they face Madrid. It will be very difficult to stop Madrid's dominance in the UCL this season.

For Ancelotti, knocking Guardiola's teams out of the Champions League playoffs is routine (he's done it for the third time - more than anyone else), so he quietly enjoys the taste of his coffee while the team follows his instructions.
Last year City were able to take advantage of the fact that Real Madrid did not have a striker, but this year everything fell into place.

[AYOBA]

Real were able to score an early goal and they put a lot of emphasis on defensive play and it worked for them. Both teams played very well, a match worthy of a final. I think it will not be an exaggeration if I say that Real Madrid is now strong enough to win the Champions League. And I would like to see Real and PSG in the final, and who knows, maybe Enrique can become the first coach to win the Champions League with PSG for the first time in history. ) But it looks like I'm getting too far ahead of myself...

Madrid where able to score first and that first game they were able to defend it for some time, and the way they were defending that one goal I was surprised, I was already expecting Manchester city to drop Real Madrid and after everything that played out we were disqualified by Madrid, the both of them actually tried but the truth is at the end of the day we still need a winner. And Madrid won. And now that Manchester city is out Madrid have a better chance to win. PSG should not be counted among those that can win the champions league even if that is mbappe dream. I was certain of that of arsenal but that of Manchester City I was surprised did not actually see this coming.

In a few weeks we should have known who is going to win the champions league it as been one hell of a league you cannot even predict what will happen.

Yesterday match between real Madrid and Manchester city was very surprised game because nobody expect that real Madrid can be the winner of the of the yesterday, due to how they start the match with very strong performance we all understand that real Madrid have a early goal which is in 12 minutes time of the first half.

But with that Manchester city gives real Madrid so much pressure, even if we look at their possession Manchester city dominate the possession of just that real have a lock goal if not they couldn't win the that yesterday match. Although that real Madrid have a big chance to win the champion league, but with that they need to improve their performance if really want to defeat the remaining opponents.

Despite Bayern Munich lackluster performance in the Bundesliga League this season, they still managed to send Arsenal crashing out from the Uefa Champions League. It was quite a pity to see Arsenal failing to reach the semi finals of Uefa Champions League this season as I felt the current squad of young players playing in Arsenal does have a lot of potential to create some great result with their efforts. Hopefully Arsenal will be able to reach greater heights in the Uefa Champions League next season.

In the history of the Champions League Competition and European Competitions they're nobody even compared to the likes of Aston Villa, West Ham United and those underdogs that has won one or two European trophy.
In the Champions League Competition? I don't feel pity for them because I know they don't have the character to win it, they might go so far but you don't have to argue with them, you just have to wait and watch them fall off completely.

I feel sad for them in the Premier League Competition, I hope to still see them win it.... I don't think it's completely over for them this season, they can still go on to win the Premier League. At least they have some levels of depth than what they had last season.

For Bayern Munich, they're a tough side. Gunner's are no match to them on a normal day. One more thing is that this gunner's brag too much. When they have nothing to really account for that they're top Europeans in the Champions League Competition.

[Pulsar77]

What is Araujo still talking about by the way?    He is still trying to defend himself about what he did there in the PSG match. It looks like he is offended by İlkay Gündoğan's words about that red card as well.

Why would you be offended while you are 100% at fault? He is the main reason why Barcelona lost a huge chance to qualify for the semi finals. Just let him through there... Even if PSG scored there it would still be better than going down by one player. In the end Barcelona were already 1-0 ahead before that red card which meant a 4-2 advantage on aggregate. What a waste really!  

[Woodie]

Just looked at the stats of the Man City vs Real Madrid , like how do you explain City not going through honestly... they had the most possession and from the 30 shots at goal and 10 on target they only had one goal to show for , and match being played at the Etihad I really expected more from these guys..but hey this is what football is about, a few disappointments here and there despite playing so well..guess they now get to concentrate on the EPL with close rivals Arsenal...

Lol love the humour...

Is it safe to say that the most decorated team in Champions league football can do this again, because surviving beating City is as good as a final and Bayern won't be much of a problem from how things are going...

If it was Ina normal league, perhaps we could say that Barcelona would have manage to hold that pressure coming from PSG but this is Champions League we are talking about and not just ordinary game, it's a quarterfinals on second leg, there is no way Barcelona would have absorbed that pressure despite playing defensive style through out the match, though Xavi wasn't happy with the Referee decision, he felt cheated but I think that's what all coaches do when they fail to win.

Right now, we have 4 teams from different leagues and not a singl team from Premier League, and yet Premier League fans always feel like they are the best and other teams are from farmers league but look at them, not even Manchester City was able to tight down Real Madrid in the penalty shout out, they had all the confidence to beat Real Madrid but the penalty humble everyone as no one can be perfect when it comes to penalty.

Hopefully Arsenal will be able to reach greater heights in the Uefa Champions League next season.

Despite the outcome of this game, I was impressed with Arsenal’s performance because they did well in the first leg to hold the match to a draw and only conceded one goal in the second leg of the match. Their last encounter in the champions league was a very horrible one for them, at least with this performance, they can get over that and believe that they’ve improved as a team than before even though none of this players were present then. If not 90%, I think all of the Arsenal current players are having their first experience in the champions league, so I think they will do better when they come back again by next season. They have built a great squad to reckon, so they’ll do better by next season with this squad.

Prediçted Final : Real Madrid vs PSG

I think that almost everyone thought about such a final when they saw what the semi-finals would be like, since the final where Mbappe plays against his future team is a good intrigue and ending for the endless series called “Mbappe leaves/stays in PSG”.
But there is another interesting option: a repeat of the 2013 final Borussia - Bayern, which by the way took place at Wembley.

[red4slash]

I read the interview of Gundogan and he criticized three biggest mistakes in the match that caused the painful loss for Barcelona. I really agree with his thinking like in the first conceded goal, Araujo actually can do it better. He can simply let that situation goes on and accept risk that PSG will score a goal from it. If more luckily, Barcelona goalkeeper can save it and no conceded goal at all.

By making a foul like this, he gave PSG a penalty and risk to get a conceded goal is higher and another big advantage is a red card when the match still has many time ahead. This situation and that bad decision from Araujo actually cost too much for Barcelona. A red card destroy the tactical operation of Barcelona and gave PSG very good advantage to control the match even they played home away.

The fact that it was Araujo who made the actual mistake is hard to excuse regardless of the situation and I think it was purely an unnecessary mistake. There are a few reasons that Araujo should have thought further about this, firstly Barcelona were still ahead on aggregate and they were still 1 goal up at the time so even if the worst case scenario was a goal it was still 11 against 11 which meant Barcelona wouldn't be at a numerical disadvantage.

However, in other situations it's not entirely possible to get away with it because with the high tension of a match we are sometimes required to think faster and the unconscious action of a hand gesture like Araujo's is inevitable in some circumstances which makes it an unexpected reflex. Unfortunately in this case with an unexpected mistake it actually made Barcelona feel the prolonged impact and made them eliminated from the Champions League this season.

[rahmad2nd]

That is the one thing that Tuchel has that he could go for. At this point if he somehow manages to beat Real and whoever else they are going to face, I think that is going to be the biggest deal of their season, winning UCL would make him look very good.

We all know that he wasn't good at all, but somehow he managed to come to semi-finals of UCL one way again, and I believe that Tuchel should be fired after having such a horrible season at Bayern, but even if he wins UCL, it will not make him look good but he could totally go for his next job saying he has won another UCL as well. I do believe that Real Madrid looks much better though, it could mean that they could just lose next game up, and we just need to make sure all looks decent.

Last night's match was beyond my predictions, especially the Manchester City match. we failed, and had to be willing to lose in the bet on choosing the team we chose.  especially City, who had to be beaten by Real Madrid. as for Arsenal, I predict that both teams will have a chance and it turns out that Bayern Munich will be able to take advantage of the match at the Allianz Arena, their home ground. in the semi-finals between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, in the semi-final match, both Thomas Thucel and Don Carlo will prepare their teams to both qualify for the next phase, namely the Champions League final match.

Talking about Bayern Munich, Tuchel has failed to maintain the tradition that has so far dominated Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. however, Bayern still has hope in this competition. their goal now is none other than how to overthrow Real Madrid. Tuchel still has time to strengthen his team, and welcome Real Madrid to the Allianz Arena in the first leg. I think, however, if it gets to this stage, Bayern Munich has a chance to overthrow Madrid. because they will give their all, even though Real Madrid is much better. I don't dare to speculate too far, especially since this match still has a time lag. we watch and wait, when the time comes for this fight to take place.

[rdluffy]

Yesterday I lost a bet, but it was to my friend  

I had a lot of confidence that Manchester City would manage to qualify, with difficulty of course, but I was wrong
Real have shown once again that they are the greatest team in the Champions League and that tradition plays a big part in deciding matches, it's hard to explain and perhaps it doesn't even have a logical explanation, but in deciding matches the team achieves unbelievable results

This was something I was expecting though I never thought the winner will be determined by a penalty shoot out though when the penalty shoot out started I had almost full feelings that Real Madrid will win since they were used to such situation, having experienced than any other team to me though I might be wrong.

The next Real Madrid vs Bayer Munich match is going to be very interesting
Will Real be able to nullify Harry Kane like they did Haaland?

Harry Kane is totally a different player than Haaland and I don't think that there is any actual 9 is better than him now. While this game in general is a game I can't predict though Real Madrid as mainly been the better team against Bayern Munich in the champions league but I think Bayern still have a chance to win even if they are having one of their worst season in over a decade now. This is their only chance of getting a trophy this season.

I think we might be getting another Psg vs Bayern Munich final which will be more intense than seeing Real Madrid VS psg in the final.

That's more or less what I meant in my post, Real Madrid's tradition is very strong and it seems to be an advantage for them in difficult situations
I was believingin Man. City's qualification and even more so when the penalties started, Modric missed, then I thought the English team would qualify
I couldn't believe Bernardo Silva's penalty kick, he practically gave the ball to Lunin, he hit it into the middle of the goal, right over him

About Bayern vs PSG, I confess I prefer this final instead of Real vs PSG or Borussia
Real already won too many times hahaha, and it would be very ironic if PSG won the UCL the same year Mbapee will left

But I was confused about today's match against Man City and Real Madrid. Here Real Madrid won the match

If you have been following Barcelona over few seasons ago, you will realize that they did not live up to expectations this season. Their performance was very poor and for a very long time they have been ruled out as a possible team to win the Spanish La Liga. Even after signing big name like Robert Lewandowski, it would have been expected that they will do so well. But it seems the same fate that greeted Harry Kane in Bayern Munic is what Lewandowski is facing in Barcelona. I was not surprised with the performance of Barcelona, I never expected them to give PSG so much headache like they did and PSG winning them is in agreement with my projections.

Everyone was not expecting Real Madrid to disqualify Manchester city, I had made analysis of how they are going to qualify for quarter finals and also semifinals but what has happened has happened and it won’t change the fact that we did not make it to the finals. We don’t have a choice than to focus now on the premier league the more. Clubs Bayern did a great job. Aside we been disqualified I was impressed with the performance of psg also they played well. Especially mbappe and since is dream is to win the champions league let’s see if he will make the dream come true.

As Real Madrid is a very good team and Man City is also a good team, it was a very tough game in this match, but in this match Man City won the match but lost it after protecting themselves for a few steps.

Real Madrid was lucky and God was on their side to have been able to win Manchester City if not we all know what Manchester City is capable of doing. Have accepted our fate. And it was a fair game between the two clubs. If not for that I would have lashed on my club for bad performance. PSG Barcelona I was wondering how Barcelona was even able to keep up during the first leg. I was happy they did not qualify for the semifinals and psg did, I knew Barcelona won’t win.

Hopefully Arsenal will be able to reach greater heights in the Uefa Champions League next season.

It was like a dream to me yesterday seen Bayern Munich Bayer Leverkusen beat with many goals in the Bundesliga hodling ground with Arsenal and they use 1 goal to beat Arsenal to lock them out from UEFA champions league quarter-final.


I don't know what Arsenal do to Bayern Munich that is making them to always use this stage to lock Arsenal out from the tournament, despite the hope they have this year to beat Bayern Munich but they didn't make their hope to work out for them in this season.

Bayern Munich coach will surely remain in the team next season because their President was not comfortable with the Bundesliga trophy they missed in this season, but Bayern Munich coach use this UEFA champions league qualify for semi-final to make their president happy.

I am the same as you, namely that I was wrong in predicting Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain in the quarter-finals, more precisely in the second leg. I thought Barcelona would be able to secure a place in the semifinals of the Champions League, but in fact they had to lose with a landslide score in the second leg which made them have to swallow the bitter pill of not being able to continue their journey in the Champions League, and it is also very likely that they will end the season without a trophy. .

I was not wrong in predicting Real Madrid and Manchester City, because I still gave these two clubs odds, although slightly bigger for Manchester City. Real Madrid managed to get their revenge last season when they had to be eliminated by Manchester City at that time, and now they are the ones who eliminated Manchester City.

With this result, Real Madrid emerged as the biggest favorites to win the Champions League title this season, even though their journey was not easy.

I almost won the bet but Real Madrid couldn't maintain the lead until full time, although in the end Los Blancos escaped on penalties.

It's a real payback for last season when Manchester City beat Real Madrid and went on to become champions, will Real Madrid be the same? It's still very possible with its potential.

My assumption about the prediction of the Champion League Final now (Real Madrid vs PSG) will they meet? I think Real Madrid can still qualify, while PSG was in the same group with Dortmund and the results were better for Dortmund.

[kro55]

Bayern Munich coach will surely remain in the team next season because their President was not comfortable with the Bundesliga trophy they missed in this season, but Bayern Munich coach use this UEFA champions league qualify for semi-final to make their president happy.

I don't think coach Tuchel will be with Bayern Munich next season. The probability of this is very low. Bayern Munich have lost their dominance in the Bundesliga after a long time. Unexpectedly, Munich lost several matches. And the team is behind Leverkusen by a big margin. It's a shame for Munich.

Bayern Munich is looking for an experienced coach. But if Munich can win the Champions League with Tuchel, maybe the Munich management will not fire Thomas Tuchel. But I think Tuchel will lose his job if he doesn't win the Champions League title.
