I doubt Chelsea can beat Milan away from home. I don't think the team is settled but I expect a draw at worst. Graham potter will slowly put the team back together. We've seen that he's really made a tremendous change in a short period of time. I don't think any manager can be immediately successful. I think you need a little bit of time.
Yes, everyone has a chance in the group but chelsea has a much bigger squad than the other teams.

Napoli is really surprising - they are simultaneously leading both in Serie A and in their Champions League group, and after such big victories over competitors, in order to stay in first place, they only need to defeat the Rangers once in a home game and not lose much (this is the worst option but they can even win or draw). The problem is that the play-offs will only start in February and it is unlikely that Napoli will maintain their current form by then.

The fact that Manchester City are at full strength so far against any team means they don't consider every opponent weak until matchday 3. There are 3 more match waiting for them in the group stage, so I hope their unbeaten record can be maintained.

When the competition enters the knockout stages especially when 16 teams reach the last 16, then the conditions will be very different. The team will play desperately to win the match both for the first leg and the second leg. But now, the group stage is not over yet and it would be good to keep talking about it instead of jumping into the last 16.

The Champions League is a competition full of surprises every season. No exception this season the Manchester City team has shown a very strong aspect of strength and they will be ready to face any team that will be their opponents in the next round. but previously Manchester City could not consider other teams weak when they were on fire because every game they had to really play consistently. The teams that have played in the Champions League this season are teams that are currently performing well in their leagues such as Real Madrid and PSG. Well I think the strength of Manchester City will be tested by other big teams in the next round. but before waiting for the next round, let's just enjoy the performance of manchester city in the grub phase, which still has 3 games left.

Chelsea showed finally their quality in this match and destroyed easily Milan. Expected honestly a lot more from Milan,at least one goal but they just couldnt score it. Chlesea and Milan both teams should pass the group stage if they dont lose points to Salzburg and Dinamo and with their quality i dont think that will happen easily.

In group E all teams still have a chance to qualify and only Salzburg have 5 points remaining while Milan and Chelsea have 4 points.
Next week will be another meeting for the second leg, of course with a draw it is not a good hope for Chelsea they want 3 points to look safe for a while in the group if a draw is still very likely there is a chance of qualifying but still competing with other teams but the only way is to win with Milan again I think that's what Potter needs to improve Chelsea's quality again.

Yes, that's right, Real Madrid when they play in the UCL is never joking. Unlike Laliga, we often see coaches rotating players. but i saw the match Vs Shaktar Real Madrid seems to need a super striker, More than 15 clear goal chances and they missed all of them, the match should have ended at least 7-1, Real Madrid have to bring world class Striker in the market Next player if they want to harvest at the end season.

Things are starting to look up at Chelsea. Graham Potter and his team, who beat Milan 3-0 at home, will hopefully recover after this. It will be good for them to get at least a draw away from Milan next week. In fact, it is a group where chelsea will easily come 1st but the bad run has affected them. They still have a chance. If they win all their remaining matches, they will easily come first in the group.

The Benfica team is not weak. But I expected a better performance from PSG. PSG's performance was not as good as expected. Mbappe's performance in particular was not good in this match. If Mbappe had played well, the result would have been in favor of PSG. Moreover, PSG would have won the match 1-0 if PSG's defender Danilo had not mistakenly sent the ball into their own net. I would say PSG was very unlucky in this match. Also the performance of Benfica's defenders was excellent. As a result, PSG could not score more than 1 goal despite some good attacks.

PSG were a better team against Benfica. They controlled the game so well, held possession and dominated  the game through out. Benfica will have to thank their stars they were able to withstand the pressure mounted on them in the game by PSG because they clearly were unable to put up a fine performance against PSG. Messi was one of the standout players in the game, this is a good development for the team.

Things are going on like a nightmare for Ajax in the Champions League. They were very ineffective against Liverpool and Napoli both. This is too worrying for them while they are a very strong attacking team normally. Something has changed after the very comfortable Rangers win. Of course these are much more challenging opponents than Rangers. But I remember how strong Ajax were playing against big teams in the previous season as well. They had better figure things out quickly before it's too late for them.

Their next matches are:

- Napoli (A)
- Liverpool (H)

If they don't prepare well for these matches then they would continue in the Europa League after a long time. I'm pretty sure that the board expect Ajax to qualify from the group so anything other than that is failure.

Departing from the league of each favorite club such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain. I choose one of several teams from the league they play in their respective countries. I mean, the level of competition in the Premier League can't be compared to Ligue 1 which obviously belongs to Paris Saint Germain. But here seen from the performance of the club itself. To be honest, I still believe in Manchester City more than Paris Saint Germain. Why? yes because according to their performance they have not been able to reach a higher level like in this Champions League.
I'm not trying to belittle any club, but I'm purely looking at the way they play and also in terms of mentality, because that's very important for a competition that has bigger stakes.




Now the competition is still in the group phase, I would say the competition is actually in the knockout phase, except for the clubs who are in the Hell group like in group C, which consists of Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen (which I think they are unlucky) . We can see later in the knoutout phase the favorite clubs will fall one by one, that's the real competition. Because in the group phase there are still many opportunities for them to survive because they played 6 rounds of matches.

If you are going to compare players, look at the player quality of Benfica and PSG. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe are the best attacking part of PSG. In the defense, Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos are the best defense lineup. Even then, how can we not be disappointed in PSG's game? I will compare PSG with Manchester City. So how will PSG dream of winning the Champions League?

PSG lost points against Benfica. Benfica is not a weak team. They have a strong squad. And Benfica is at the top of the Primeira League table. I do not consider it disrespectful to share points with such a team. But since PSG is fighting for the title. Their goal is the Champions League title. So we want to see a better performance from PSG. If they do not come with consistency of their performance, it is not possible to win the Champions League title. Because almost every team in the Champions League is strong. Without consistency in performance, it is almost impossible to beat these teams.

The most experienced team in champion league also have more advantage over the rest teams especially from the semifinals. For now I can't predict who will be lifting up the trophy as no team should be down graded in this league. At semifinals then we can see clearly who will be the winner. The big teams like Real Madrid is a threat to other teams. Although all the teams will play their best but just a little error might be their end.

PSG play in Ligue 1 without much competition, and City build their character in the Premier League matches all the time. You should also not call Benfica a weak opponent, especially when they play at home. There are not so many applicants for the title, these are Real, City, Bayern (this is my opinion). PSG still place too much importance on this title and that is what prevents them from winning to a large extent. The rest of the contenders look mediocre, or if they play well in the group, like Napoli, then you need to look at their results in the playoffs.

That's the thing. Even if they know they're no match for all the teams in the championship, they'll simply wanna try to see if it cuts. All the teams can't be of the same strategy; they'll differ invariably. Infact, that's why they're different.
The team's fundamental criterias matters alot and also, their bursery Which, infact, is the main factor that can facilitate the team and ensure its efficacy.
Fummy enough, wether they liked it or not, the must be a winner and a trophy lifter which is the beauty of the round leather game.

Interest in Manchester City appears every season to be able to win the Champions League trophy they want. It wouldn't be that easy for them to get that, because the other teams that were here were also targeting the same thing. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain are some of the strong teams out of many other strong teams competing for it. The road they have to walk is so heavy in front of them. Last season they were also the biggest favorites for the trophy, but they weren't too tough against Real Madrid even though they could have taken the lead.

Isn't trying to make a good strategy and also run it as well as possible in the match is a plan to win the game? Victory can be planned with a mature strategy and also good implementation in the field. All playing teams must plan to win and get 3 points to be able to become champion in the end. If they don't plan to win, do they plan to lose? Laugh out loud.
All teams must plan a victory that is packed with strategy.

Getting draw is unpredictable. You can't blame PSG for getting draw against a lesser team than PSG. It's too early to say that. Anything can happen. Just because manchester city was showing a good performance in EPL and it doesn't mean city can win champion league easily. Napoli, real madrid and so many big clubs have been still participating in the champion league. I will not underestimate another team but you must remember that if city many times city got fail to get champion league

No doubt with Manchester City and PSG player composition because they have many star player but little problem with Champion League mentality doesn't have by both team, still remember what happen last season both team kicked by Real Madrid on knock out after won on first leg, but they don't have mentality how to win from Real Madrid at second leg. Still left 3 match for group stage and I think early favorite PSG and Manchester City can get good result on Champion League.

Real Madrid keep favorite team for winning in Champion League in this season, perfect points achievement on group stage and lead first standing position right now, different with PSG after draw by Benfica last match just won 2 of 3 games in Champion league although lead first standing position.
