UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Oneandpure]

I am even very confident that Real Madrid will beat Munich and become UCL champions this season. After successfully beating City, I think the strongest candidate to become UCL champions is only Real Madrid. Fans often say that City and Madrid are the 2 strongest teams in the UCL this season. Maybe even fans of other clubs will also choose one of them. And last night Real Madrid managed to beat City. This means that Real Madrid really deserves to be champion. Munich has a winning mentality but Madrid has a winning mentality and a solid mentality. I think that will be the difference between the two teams and I also predict Madrid will win the semifinal match.

Looking another side, Champion League is the only one trophy left for Bayern Munich this season after the Bundesliga record stopping by Leverkusen and eliminated from DFP Cup Bayern try to focus with Champion league matches. Near future for qualifying to final round although have many doubt with Bayern opportunity for defeating Real Madrid in semifinal.
Real Madrid had good mentality in champion league match, Carlo Ancelotti scheme very effective last match against Manchester City and solid defense how to stop tactician from Pep Guardiola get difficult against Madrid. For the semifinal winning teams, I think Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have the same opportunity and difficult predicting Madrid or Bayern will to final.

I am not entirely sure if Real Madrid played that well. I mean it is obvious that Manchester City played much better, and they had like 33 shots, and looking at the result Real Madrid still managed to knock them off. Which shows you that sometimes it is not really about how "well" you play, but your strategy means something as well.

Real Madrid defended the whole game, and they didn't really try to score at all, they were fine with penalty shootout and they just focused on that and won thankfully, I feel like they played terrible. City on the other hand played much much better, and yet they still lost and that must say something about their style, if they are incapable of scoring out of 30 shots, then there is something wrong with the team.

Sometimes what we see in statistics does not show the actual results I mean there are other considerations that could be used as a reason, when you see Manchester City can control the match from all sides and recorded 33 shots that's normal because they were playing at home and one goal behind, on the other hand when Real Madrid managed to score the first goal and equalize the aggregate then Real Madrid can change their strategy by playing defensively and they know attacking will risk conceding so there was no other choice, Real Madrid had to end the match with a draw on aggregate. In conclusion, I don't think Real Madrid played badly they just apply the right strategy. If the situation was different and Manchester City scored the first goal then Real Madrid would have controlled the match and recorded more shots.

It was a night when Bayern Munich lived up to their assertions that, when the Champions League comes around, they were an altogether different beast. Bayern Munich were into the final four of the Champions League with Joshua Kimmich's second-half header after winning 1-0 against Arsenal, giving them a 3-2 aggregate victory. Arsenal's European dream is over - and the Gunners' focus is back on the Premier League.

Bayern Munich will not be able to breathe freely in the semifinals later they will meet Real Madrid as one of the strong teams and even predicted Real Madrid will become champions.
After beating Manchester City now the next challenge is Bayern Munich actually this will not be easy but I'm sure Real Madrid can pass it.

Unfortunately there is no more race for English clubs they will refocus on the Premier League because it is still quite tight until now.

Obviusly Real Madrid is right now the main contender to the title but in this stances we can expect some shaking results also someones for PSG or Bayern side, they have the players to do that, but need the teamwork and recover the faith in themselves in the case of Bayern for example, and Tuchel knews this.

It cannot be said that Tuchel was successful with Bayern Munich. Because Bayern Munich cannot win the Bundesliga title this season. And Bayern Munich's performance is also quite erratic. But still I would say tuchel is not a bad coach. Chelsea won the Champions League in the 20-21 season with the help of Tuchel. Chelsea did not have a strong squad. Tuchel's mastermind is what made a mediocre team like Chelsea win the Champions League title.

Ancelotti is an experienced coach. Moreover, the Real Madrid team is also very strong and experienced. Even so, the semi-final match will be very competitive. Tuchel will try his best to qualify for the final. Now Tuchel's only goal is to win the Champions League title. So it will not be easy for Madrid to beat the Munich team. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning.

This would be a very difficult discussion if Tuchel and Bayern Munich were really to win the Champions League. He was the coach for about 1.5 years by the end of the season. He won the Bundesliga title last season although it was close, but a title is a title and nobody will ask questions about it in a few years from now. But if we assume that he wins the Champions League against teams like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, all these top teams, could it still be said that Tuchel was NOT successful when he wins the Champions League? It's tough and of course this season was bad so far, but that title would make everyone forget about what happened. There'd be no more questions asked and nobody would care about the DFB Pokal and the Bundesliga.

[Huppercase]

Even though many people say that Real Madrid won and qualified for the semifinals based on luck, in my opinion, it's not just relying on luck, Anceloti has smart tactics, he knows that if Real Madrid doesn't get a draw, Man City will take advantage of the situation by playing at home as winners, so from Madrid kept its defense tight, making it difficult for Man City to score goals, even though Man City took many shots but only 1 of them was scored as a goal.

After the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, he was asked how he feel about todays match and his answer was "that's the only way to win the game" which implies that in other to win Manchester City at Etihad, you must be quick to make goals from the beginning of the match and then quickly switch to defensive style including the center forward, they defended for the rest of the minutes after Rodrigo gave them first goal in the 12 minutes of the game, that lame excuse for people calling this a luck.

Real Madrid only recorded 8 shots compared to Man City, but this shows how great Anceloti's intelligence is by applying strategy to his players, even the penalty kick taken by Real Madrid was successful in bringing them to the semifinals and eliminating Man City, which is something to be proud of even though Man City is a strong club. in attacking but intelligence and experience are very important in delivering the right attack.

There is no way for any team to have much shot on target when they defended the whole minute. The only time the center forward make attempts for shortnon target is when they notice that Manchester City has change to attacking style and weren't paying much attention to defend, that's when they attack. This was why Gearlish had a  yellow card for fouling Bellingham when they had no man left to defend because he was about to attack and score.

Actually one of the main contenders because there are actually other teams too who are still in the  league and ready to contend for the trophy too amongst which i think Bayern Munich is actually looking like one of the best contender aswell after Real Madrid in this trophy and it's actually very fair because they aswell have got a very fair form.and aswell are very much ready to want to get to win the trophy aswell this season.

Bayern Munich hasn't been really doing well in their domestic League so most likely they would want to channel all the efforts in the champions league at this time as it's all thats left of them for a hope to probably getting to win a trophy this season els they my go trophyless this season  again but then Bayern Munich is not in any form weak they have been able to show some form.of good performance in the champions league and has been able to get to this point and I'm not even seeing Dortmund as really promising enough to get to contend for the trophy.

PSG may aswell want to get to the finals too aswell because it has been their biggest dream to always get to win the champions league trophy  and getting to the finals will means a whole lot and possibilities  for them to get an opportunity to be able to get an opportunity to win the champions league this season but then even if they don't get to win, getting to the finals is a mile stone achieved for them already.

As far as Manchester City is out from the game I don't think Real Madrid will face any difficulties.  I know the rest teams that are in Champions league are tough but it won't be very challenging for Real Madrid. Manchester City has always been a nightmare for Reall Madrid but this time their will be some relief for Real Madrid. Among the remaining teams that we have in the Champions League Real Madrid is the favourites team to get the title of Champions league.

Since their is no more Manchester City  in the competition real madrid will have good relief to enjoy the rest of their game in the Champions League.

In this match Manchester City played very well. However, unfortunately there are still many opportunities that cannot be exploited properly. So even though in this match Manchester City managed to dominate the game well. However, in that match Manchester City was only able to score one goal through De Bruyne in the 76th minute. And in that match, the Real Madrid players actually came under quite a lot of pressure from the Manchester City players. Because how could it not be, in this match Real Madrid visits Manchester City's headquarters which will definitely make the game of the Manchester City players better. But fortunately, Real Madrid was able to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw and ultimately had to go to a penalty shootout.

You're right, Man City actually played well, they really dominated the match. Man City have made a lot of chances to score goals but Man City only succeed scoring 1 goal. Besides Real Madrid goalkeeper performed impressive, Man City players were not lucky because there are some good chances but it always ended up with no goals. I saw De Bruyne have some great chances but he failed to convert it to be goals. It can be the unlucky factor of Man City on the match.

Modric should buy their goalkeeper a house or something hehe. His miss was a bad start to the penalty shootout but it still turned out good thanks to the brilliance of the GK.

Agree.  
However, in the penalty shootout, Real Madrid players showed their winning mentality. Their mentality never dropped although Modric failed scoring the first goal. Honestly, I'm quite surprised to see Modric unable to convert it be a goal. Sure, Lunin played very impressive, he is indeed reliable even though he is not Real Madrid's main goalkeeper.

RM should be the huge favorite to win the tournament after disposing City. Bayern is also tough but I doubt they can really beat Ancelotti and his men.
I'm calling it now - RM vs PSG in the Finalas.

Yep. It seems Real Madrid vs PSG will be the ideal final. I am sure Real Madrid will secure their final ticket since in Leg 1 against Bayern Munich. And PSG looks like to be stronger than Dortmund. So, in theory, Real Madrid will face PSG in the final round. It will be a nice final if it really happens as expected.

As a Real Madrid fan they've always been my favorite team to win the UEFA Champions League title this season and my belief was backed by the signing of Jude Bellingham which I think will bring solution to the problem of Real Madrid last season that they were embarrassingly eliminated from the competition by Manchester City. Now that they were able to eliminate Manchester City and progress to the semi finals of the competition, they'll have to beat Bayern Munich in a two legged tie to reach the final of the competition which I think is very possible but difficult as well.
Bayern Munich last weekend lost their German title defense as Bayer Leverkusen were crowned German champions for the first time in their history and that I think will make them put in their best energy to win the UCL this season. So for Real Madrid to reach the final they must be at their best

Well, I am also a big fan of Madrid and I think that the most difficult test for this team has already passed, City this time had to lose and that is something that must be recognized, many say that Madrid's strategy in defense was not the right one. correct, but I remember how Barcelona played where they didn't even have the opportunity to defend and they scored 4 goals, PSG took advantage of that, now it could have gone well for Madrid, taking into account that the coach is Ancelotti, he is Italian, he knows managing a defensive game well, it is old school and that made Madrid win, it was the penalties, but it was seen that here everyone was able to beat one of the titans who would undoubtedly have been the winner. Another key would have been to qualify for the semi-finals, of that I am sure, City's bad luck was running into Madrid, I think Bayern also has a lot to do with how they can play, it is very difficult for them to do anything with Madrid.

Rival watch: Real Madrid handed boost as Bayern Munich duo doubts for UCL clash

Real Madrid defended their status as the kings of the Champions League earlier this week, downing Pep Guardiola’s mighty Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium after a nervy encounter.

The win in the quarterfinal sees Los Blancos move to the final-four stage of the event where they lock horns with Bavarian giants Bayern Munich.

Thomas Tuchel’s side eliminated Arsenal to book a slot in the semifinal and will prove to be the next big hurdle for Carlo Ancelotti’s men.

Exactly that is what I am even saying is that only Manchester City can give Real Madrid a tough game and they have luck and win through penalties, and I believe he will be very hard if Real Madrid did not win the Champions League this season, is only psg, Dortmund, and Munich are only in the competition and know one that can give Real Madrid a tough game on the pitch is only Munich, and Ancelotti will do anything to defeat Tuchel because this season Tuchel is only managing with Munich, They are not in good shape like Madrid this season, and the previous time Tuchel won the Bundesliga, he did not start the season with Munich the league was coming to a finish, stage and they bought him to the team and gave him the opportunity to win the Bundesliga. See how Leverkusen is in good shape. Munich can't even beat them in the first and second legs of the league, and you're comparing Madrid and Munich in the Champions League.

I also hope that at least Bayern Munich might get great luck at this moment, because basically any result can still happen. After all, Real Madrid also only relies on counter attacks and thus, I hope Bayern Munich's defense can also be better. Because yes, at least at this moment Bayern Munich has a good attack line because Kane managed to become a goal machine for Bayern Munich and thus, I think still a worthy for a good result for Bayern Munich in this round. But indeed, I also realize that Real Madrid is the king of Europe, but even so, at least other teams also have great efforts even though it is difficult to overthrow Real Madrid, but if Real Madrid has bad luck then it is possible that other teams will be successful.

Arsenal's European dream is over - and the Gunners' focus is back on the Premier League.

Although Bayern Munich managed to qualify for the semifinals but still, the fact is that the match in the semifinals later will be really difficult for Bayern Munich. The reason is, Bayern Munich meets Real Madrid in the semifinals, as we alreadyknow that Real Madrid is the king of Europe because Real Madrid is the only team that has managed to getmany Champions League trophies. Therefore, it does not matter the situation and conditions of the Bayern Munich and Real Madrid teams in the semifinal match later because of course, basically Real Madrid is always the favorite team in the Champion League. But indeed, great expectations certainly occur in Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich already lost their trophies this season in the domestic league,so Bayern Munich's hope to win trophies this season is only in the Champions League but unfortunately, it is difficult to achieve it.

I agree with you, I think Bayern Munich will have a very difficult in the semi-final. I agree with you that the favorite is Real Madrid. But I consider Bayern Munich's elimination of Arsenal as a great success. Bayern Munich have already lost the local league trophie this season, so they will be struggling to do their best in the Champions League. That's why I think we will watch an enjoyable Real Madrid-Bayern Munich match-up in the semi-final.

Hopefully it really turns out like this. Usually, if Real Madrid qualify for the semi-finals, it is very likely that they will be the winners. However, Real Madrid must be alert. Even though it may be compared to Man City, some of the remaining clubs are not as strong as Man City. However, that doesn't mean they are easy to defeat. especially at UCL, things sometimes end unexpectedly. Like the success of Dortmund, where it was felt that they were not strong enough and but in the end they managed to enter the semi-finals. And not only that, Bayern Munich, as Real Madrid's opponent, is also known for being quite a tough opponent. Although perhaps recently, their front line has not been effective and productive enough, but one day against Real Madrid, it could really be a surprise.

However, despite all of that, I personally am still very confident that Real Madrid can get past Bayern Munich and advance to the final round. I really want to see Real Madrid in the final again this time, after last season they failed first. This is a very prestigious match where all clubs want it, so there is no such thing as being careless or underestimating other clubs. Everyone will do their best to win this champion.

Arsenal's European dream is over - and the Gunners' focus is back on the Premier League.

Kimmich’s goal decides the game but it is tough one for them all both Arsenal and Bayern.
Aft first half, Arsenal were very clinical and they played well like a team that wants to win, but their performance in the second half was not as expected in which Munich took advantage and win the game because Arteta couldn’t bring the right players to the peach.
Arsenal’s only hope this season is the Premier League title if not, they will go another season with winning any trophy since community shield is not consider as a trophy.

I am not entirely sure if Real Madrid played that well.

You are right, Manchester City played very well, but the only thing Madrid use for them is the Champions League experience which is the main reason why they were eliminated, but Manchester City have a better team than Madrid this season.

Of course Real Madrid have shown their toughness in the Champions League this season because getting rid of Manchester City is of course quite difficult but Real Madrid managed to do it. Real Madrid certainly has to focus on the match against Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich is also a tough team where Bayern Munich was able to get rid of Arsenal. Even though Real Madrid are very favored to reach the final, their obstacle is still Bayern Munich which they must be able to beat.

I think this season Psg is also very worthy of being considered as a big candidate to win the UCL trophy because since the group phase Psg has gone through a lot of quite difficult matches but they managed to do it. Mbappe has shown his best quality in the Champions League this season and also this season PSG has a great coach which makes me make them the favorites to become champions in the Champions League this season.

Looks like it was your first time seeing Ancelotti's Real Madrid play in a big CL match. Go check out the previous huge matches where they made comebacks. They like catching teams on the break and it works most of the time.

If they didn't try to score, then how did the first goal come about. Yes they may have had fewer shots on target, but they did try to catch City on the break at times

[Leviathan.007]

I really want the final match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but instead they meet in the Semi-Finals, which is not right in my opinion, but the Semi-Finals match will really be a club that really has the quality and mentality of the champions, but I have a little prediction about who will win.  will come out as Champions this season, from my point of view it seems that Bayern Munich is a strong candidate to win the Champions League title this season, because usually the club that stumbles at the start of the qualifying group will be the winner, of course this is just speculation from my point of view for  looking at the last few seasons.

After I saw the good performance from Real Madrid against Manchester City in the previous game they had in the Champions League, I think Real Madrid had an epic performance and Ancelotti knows how to beat even stronger teams because beating Gadudiola was not easy at all.
I think if Real Madrid has the good performance we saw from them against Manchester Cityagaginst other teams like Bayern Munich, they can easily beat Bayern Munich because compared to Manchester City, Bayern Munich is not a strong team, especially after losing the Bundesliga title to Leverkusen.

I can't understand where you saw a beast there, first a draw, then a minimal win, despite the fact that they had a strong opponent against them by current standards. It's not like the Bayern they used to be anyway, smashing everyone who comes their way. The match was actually boring, there were few chances, no tension whatsoever

Theoretically, with the collapse of Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid is the strongest candidate in the race for the Champions League trophy this season. But don't be mistaken in advance, in the semifinal phase the real match will take place. That doesn't mean that after overthrowing Manchester City, Madrid will smoothly beat the teams that are their opponents. It's true, Real Madrid is a tough team. however, in the semifinals, an exciting battle will occur. The team that is Madrid's opponent will definitely not give up so easily, Thomas Tuchel has nothing left other than the Champions League Trophy. So, Bayern will do their job by going all out to realize their mission. especially, after failing in the Bundesliga. Bayern's only hope is the Champions League, even though Madrid is actually the favorite. Apart from that, now Paris Saint-Germain looks a little different even though in reality Real Madrid is much more favored. What is certain is that to achieve the Champions League trophy this season, Madrid must go through two matches, the semifinals and the final round. well, we will find out the results when the semifinals are held.

Since their is no more Manchester City  in the competition real madrid will have good relief to enjoy the rest of their game in the Champions League.  

Honestly, I don't also see any other teams in the competition as strong as Real Madrid anymore. It is Bayern Munich, I will say and they may be a strong opponent for Real Madrid, but they are not really in good form currently. Even from the way they performed against Arsenal, I will just say it was lucky that got them to this semi-final. But as for PSG, they're in good form, but I don't think their team is in good form like Real Madrid. So, as this Champions League competition is going now, the team that has the highest chance of winning the trophy is Real Madrid. They are in great form, and again, the team is the most experienced Champions League team
