The champions league title is bigger than the laliga and no team will prefer their domestic league title than the champions league title, am not discarding that Barcelona isn't on the list for the champions league title contenders, but there are also other teams that are included too which is the teams i earlier mentioned in my previous post.

Between the Champions League and the domestic league, the Champions League is certainly more important. La Liga is also considered important for Barcelona. There is no guarantee that even a good team will win the Champions League title. Many teams can lose to a relatively weak team even after playing well consistently when they reach the knockout stage. In such a competition, you have to play with a lot of pressure, but only those who are consistently ahead in La Liga, that is, if they are ahead in the points table, they will be able to win the title. That is why winning the Champions League is definitely considered a big achievement for a team ‍also there is no way to underestimate your own domestic league because you cannot prove your worth by winning one tournament. For the continuity of the team, need to do well in all areas.

For the time being, why PSG is being seen as the favorite for the league title is because so far in their journey in this year’s champions league competition, they’ve dominated more than any of the top teams that are the best contender for the title, they’ve proven once again that they’re ready for the title challenge and will win it for the third time in a row.

I think that's why they've won two consecutive Champions League titles. Furthermore, Luis Enrique wants to equal Real Madrid's feat of winning three consecutive Champions League titles. The team's current good form allows him to say things like this. Of course, they now have a revamped Real Madrid, with a Mourinho hungry to win the Champions League. It's not easy anymore; it's already been shown that Barcelona couldn't stop them. Hope rests on Real Madrid, and this season Bayern Munich and Arsenal might not treat them as favorites anymore. It's not as easy for them as it was in the seasons they won it.

Stat wise except Arsenal, I don't think any team would be a threat to PSG, it's insane how weak you think they are until you face them, after that last trashing that they gave to Barcelona, I think my think has changed, Real Madrid has alot of loophole that I bet Luis Enrique will definitely take advantage of especially if they decide to continue starting Vinicius and he continues with this form, there is going to be no hope for them. Honestly what PSG is doing to us is not fair, lol.

A lot people had low expectations for Como in the Champions League, and that is the reason why they are so surprised with their current results despite it toward average teams and why Como are getting all this hype. That is one thing about football, when a team is performing beyond people's expectations, it will become a topic of discussion for a while, and people can go to any length to hype them. So, I am not surprised by how people are hyping Como right now. If Como start messing up also, that is how people will begin criticising them because expectations for them are already high.

It's not that we have low expectations for Como, but the UCL is not a domestic competition that Como can easily get through. There are many strong clubs from different leagues that they have never faced before, and they even failed to get a win against a team like Feyenoord. Just imagine what would happen if Como had to face Barcelona, PSG and several other strong clubs. I'm sure Como wouldn't be able to beat them. So what should we really expect?

It's good to respect a team like Como, but we shouldn't lose sight of reality.

PSG destroyed Manchester City, PSG destroyed Barcelona, ​​who are the strongest opponents in front of PSG now? First of all, according to you, Arsenal, then I would say Bayern Munich, and at the same time we should put Real Madrid on this list, but how will they beat PSG in the end? I don't think there is much possibility, remember how PSG destroyed Bayern Munich last season? Compared to that, PSG looks more devastating this season, that is, this season too, I don't think Bayern Munich can stop PSG in any way, and in the end, the only strongest opponent remains Arsenal, Arsenal had a very strong performance in the final of last season, but maybe they lost the match because of their own mistakes, it just Arsenal had continued to attack in that match, then something different could have happened, but now Arsenal will not repeat those mistakes, and will compete against PSG more cautiously than before, which is why PSG's match against Arsenal this season will be stronger and more difficult. However, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can reach the final this season as well. Given the current situation, PSG's chances of reaching the final are very high, and if PSG does reach the final, it remains to be seen which team they will play against in the final.

However, 3 wins 1 defeat in 4 matches in this league phase still looks pretty good even though it has not been stable so bringing new players will make the situation new again in terms of chemistry and it will be better to impose with the squad in this half of the season and if needed they can start preparing improvements at the end of the season.

3 wins and a defeat in 4 matches in actually a good result, raking up 9 points out of 12 points so far is incredible, if I was a fan of the club, I would be hoping to repeat this on the other 4 matches if group stage to secure a spot on the next round instead of being involved in playoffs. This stats can actually keep you on the top 8 which is what all other teams are striving for after the 8 matches and if Liverpool has this, then it's all good, as far as I can remember based on when last I checked the table, it's PSG and Real Madrid I can remember still won all their matches after 4 matches played.

The remaining 4 matches in the league phase should not make Liverpool too difficult because the opponents they will face are only the strongest Inter so far although there are Porto and Club Brugge which are sometimes beyond expectations but the big match is still with Inter it's just that we don't know what might happen with the Liverpool squad.
Defeat in Turkey in Week 4 it makes some of us not too sure with Liverpool so this is what must be the focus of Iraola so they can to improve conditions.

Liverpool is a big club but this phase is a transitional phase for them a little bit of mistakes from Liverpool in terms of results they will definitely get criticism because the expectations of the fans before are very big but some players are still not adapting well so far.

The reason why many people had low expectation for Como is because the team just made it to the Champions League for the first time in the history of the club so they were seen as an inexperienced team. Nobody believed that Como will perform the way they did so far. They scored 19 goals in 4 matches, that's amazing because it's only PSG who has scored above 29 goals (they scored 20).

Como's performance has been awesome but they could flop when they start meeting the big boys in the Champions League because we can't rate Leipzig and Manchester United who were beating by Como as a big club. Como will be defeated when they start facing the giant teams of Europe just as they are always subdued by Inter Milan in the Serie A. Como's strength can only be exercised when they meet low level teams. I don't see Como advancing above the round of 16, they will likely end their journey in that stage.

You made some great points, PSG statistically have been good, Arsenal as well are trying but you see Champions league it takes more than statistics to win it, champions league comes with a different spirit at times, sometimes you need both statistics, determination and experience/history and that is why it would be very wrong to write off a team like Real Madrid who has so much of experience in the Champions league.

Madrid have surprised me one certain season when they were struggling in their league but over night they picked up in the champions league and won it, the Champions league at some point was just looking like Madrid birthright, that is why i won’t want to underestimate any team, this season champions league i just feel it would be a different team, that is not Arsenal, PSG or Madrid, lately if you observe big teams have been flopping in different domestic leagues.

Noon of this matches listed here is simple, and football this days is unpredictable. We might see it simple to us for Liverpool to defeat any of this clubs, to me i wouldn't say Liverpool will win 2 out of the 4 matches compared to what happened last champions league match against Fenerbahce's who's not even in form compared to Liverpool form this season. Seeing a club like Fenerbahce's defeating Liverpool was a surprise to everyone, this time around we don't really need to conclude team to beat their opponent so easily, we all saw what happened to Ac Milan to how Ferencvárosi won them on their own home.

That's how it will always be as long as it's the first time they're making it to the competition people will always have doubts and have low expectations in them. We all know how difficult it is to play in the champions league and no matter how good a team can be they will find it difficult in the champions league.

They have been impressive so far but time will tell if they can really perform beyond expectations when the competition gets tougher. If they can go as far as reaching the Semi final then it's no ordinary performance again. They have already proved that they can actually challenge top teams too but I will like to see them go far and see how they will perform.

While PSG may appear flawless in every match, that does not mean the other teams are weak. It remains very difficult to determine who will emerge as the winner this year, as every team has a roughly equal chance.

If Barcelona, Bayern, Arsenal or Real Madrid doesn't win it, I have high hopes that it'll already be their 3rd UCL trophy. PSG getting to the final itself gives them like a 60% chance of winning the UCL, but 40% for their opponent is also a big deal.

Being the most solid team at the start of the season never offers a full guarantee of becoming champions by the end of the competition sometimes, a single mistake or a momentary lapse in concentration at the back over the course of just one night is enough to eliminate even the strongest of teams. In this regard, caution is of the utmost importance and must be exercised in every match whether in attack or defense to avoid dropping crucial points when facing major teams.

Same was posted last season, yet they went ahead and won it for the second time. Arsenal didn't even stand a chance with what they did in the final.

I'm not sure I understand the caution part but i do know that PSG has a balanced squad.

One thing with reality is that when it struck a, everyone becomes surprised and begin to show that surprising face like they never expected the outcome to be so. Como is a great team as far as this season’s champions league is concerned, and for them to have come this far in the competition, it shows how good they were in their domestic leagues and got to reach this stage in the Champions League. They are not going to win the champions league trophy and that is the fact about it. Meeting teams that are strong contenders for the champions league trophy is very likely they get defeated or even eliminated from that stage. I respect them but they’re not the best in this competition.

Between the Champions League and the domestic league, the Champions League is certainly more important. La Liga is also considered important for Barcelona.

For the continuity of the team, need to do well in all areas.

This is the reason why Real Madrid is considered the greatest club of all time, no matter their performance in the league or how poor their league campaign is, when it’s time for the champions league, they are a different team, I don’t think they have ever lost a UCL final, they are the most prestigious club in Europe by far, it’s not even a debate.
Here’s something to think about, which would you consider harder to win, the domestic league or the champions league. An argument could be made for both case but I want to know what other peoples opinions are, personally I lean towards the champions league.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I also don't see them as favorites, because they are only comfortable winning smaller teams and find it difficult when they face a much stronger opponent. A team is considered favorite when they have a strong ground against bigger teams because smaller teams are always easy to beat.
Many people will be deceived by this Barcelona performance because of how they win small teams comfortably and even win with a very high scoreline. To be a favorite in the champions league you need more than just winning small teams with high margin, your strength should be winning bigger games because you're likely to face at least 2 big teams to win the trophy. I don't see that with Barcelona yet.

Barcelona wants to be like Real Madrid, they want the same trophies as Real Madrid, but we have 15 Champions League titles, and they've been saying for years that the sextuple is possible, apart from the league titles they won at one time thanks to Negreira. Barcelona has to prove they're the best on the pitch. Smaller teams can score a lot of goals, but can they score a lot against PSG? I doubt it.

All the possibilities are there for it to happen. Personally, I don't see Barcelona as the favorite. If they were the best, they would have already won the sextuple. In La Liga, it's not easy for them; they're only 3 points ahead of Madrid.

Barcelona might win other numbers of trophies, but for now they can not win the numbers of champions league trophies that real Madrid has won. Madrid has won it 15 times which no clubs in Europe will be able to break that record for now. They can only compete with real Madrid when it's comes to winning laliga trophies as long as it involves Europe trophies Barcelona won't come out challenge Madrid.
