this could make things complicated for Barcelona, Inter's position doesn't put a lot of pressure on them really because they're facing both Bayern and Barcelona, and with players missing i can see Inter getting a draw if not winning, i really want to see the start up squads and how the first few minutes will go before deciding what to bet on, as of now it's very unclear.

In any case, what real forecasts can we talk about when clubs have even played half of the matches in the Champions League group stage so far and while absolutely any outsider team, at least on paper, has the opportunity to correct the situation and go to the playoffs. Also, let's not forget that when the playoff stage comes, a lot will depend on which pairs of opposing teams will form and what the tournament grid will be as a result. Although, of course, it is impressive how Haaland fit into the Manchester City game and immediately began to demonstrate amazing performance in both Premier League and Champions League matches.

Bayern munich is a great team. When the focus of winning the Champions League is high, what should one expect from a great side as this. They would of course save their quality for injury avoidance or fatigued reasons. They have shown a decline perhaps for the absence of Lewandowski, who seemed to be a force in the squad then.
For Barcelona, I am confident Xavis team would qualify alongside Bayern, but I doubt they have the essence to out play the other teams, whose sole focus is projected toward the much coveted Champions League trophy.

Especially if we see Inter's inconsistent performance in Serie A, I think Inter will find it difficult to compete with Bayern and Barcelona.
Although Inter is a big team in Serie A, it has been a long time since Inter have won a trophy in the Champions League competition.
The last time Inter won the Champions League trophy was in 2010, meaning that it is very difficult for Inter to compete in the Champions League.
I also predict Inter will be eliminated from the Champions League and will play in the Europa League. At least as you say in the Europa League Inter
have a greater chance of winning trophies than if they played in the Champions League. But football is sometimes full of surprises, there is still
the possibility of a surprise happening where Inter can beat Barcelona, even if the chances are very small. Moreover, Barcelona this season has
a very perfect squad, so it takes a miracle for Inter to beat Barcelona.

Maybe I'll agree at Real Madrid, no players who can be compared with Haaland, but Real Madrid has a reliable coach have a smart brain and I've said that too in some of my posts, this club experience in champions league is still be a threat to Manchester City and other clubs such as PSG and Barcelona. This handsome guy Haaland I think he have a good foot, but the cohesiveness and strategy of a team must also be thinking, we also don't know to extent they will stay fit. Imagine if the main player caught injured 

Both are lucky on both ends Man City having to sign a great striker that they surely lack, and Halland knocking to sign one of Premier League's prominent teams, for me it surely comes down to both really need each other you are right in saying that Halland have to pick Manchester City because of their reputation, and Man City accepted Erling Halland because of his great striking skills, in these circumstances, the great team play of Man City is providing them every win, even though they only got 5 wins and 2 draws Man City still doesn't have a losing record and they are doing great in the championship,


Well, yes we can not assume that the championship for the Premier League will be for Man City this season, just because of Erling Halland's addition to the squad, but we can not take out the fact they are doing great now that Erling Halland is on the team, and we are still in the start of the season for both Premier League and UEFA champion league, so there is a huge chance for Manchester City to get it this time,


I agree, Right now I am seeing Man City's performance have changed since Erling Halland's addition to the squad we can not take out that fact, and pretty much at a such young age, he is getting a huge amount of goals, and he can surely surpass Lewandowski without him even knowing it, that is why I am monitoring his growth since he was on Dortmund, unluckily he had many missed games back then that Dortmund didn't make a competitive match against Bayern, but right now he is heathy and surely wants that championship for sure,

Beside benzema who has been injured for quite some time i dont see any player who can score more goals than haaland since he is a box player but haaland being the top scorer does not mean man city team will win the champions league easily and i don't think they are stronger than last season, they already lost some points in the premiere league and they had difficulties winning against dortmund at home, not to mention that there is not only one competitors in the champions league there are other strong teams.

The problem now is that some players can't play for them and it's confirmed that Kounde and Araujo can't play now.
Kunde is expected to be out for the next 4 to 5 weeks due to his injury and Araujo is more severe and is expected to be out for 8 weeks for Barcelona.
Obviously this is a loss for them because indeed these two players can be considered vital in their position.

Manchester City have found a player they didn't have last season, and that's in Erling Haaland. It's no wonder than belief in Haaland is getting higher now, because he is able to score goals regularly in every game. Even now he leads the list of top scorers in the Premier League. And with Haaland's performance, it can be said that their chances are even greater now in the Champions League.


Last season's defeat to Real Madrid was not only because they were unlucky, but Real Madrid itself has a mentality that Manchester City does not have. We can see in the game footage how they panicked the moment Real Madrid scored. Things I didn't see from the Real Madrid squad when they had to fall behind Pep Guardiola's care.
One of them was when Rodrigo scored, and I saw the Manchester City players lose confidence, even though at that moment their chances were bigger than Real Madrid.

There is no doubt that Barcelona has been playing extremely well most recently, and they are in a very good position in La Liga right now. Unfortunately, they don't have a good record in the Champions League competition, which is what makes the problem worse. It is for this reason that I believe they will be unable to win the match against Milan in the upcoming match. However, the current form of both teams, makes it apparent that it looks like Barcelona is going to be the winner of this match. In addition, Barcelona also lost against Bayern Munich in the Champions League very recently as well. Therefore, they will also be determined to do well in this match as well.

Manchester city fans can now expect a little bit more for manchester city to grab the champions league trophy this season as they own one of the best talent in the world plus obe of the best manager in the world both combined into something what so called a hype one , will they finally reach that target this season?

I would still say it's not that simple , haaland could get struggle being consistent despite his countless records in the young age.

It is valid for Manchester City also actually. Because if you remember they also conceded a goal first and struggled to answer until the last twenty-minute period of the match. It is of course not the same as Maccabi Haifa are a way weaker team than Dortmund. But I wanted to say that it was expected from Manchester City to keep the match under control in Etihad from the start to the end.

Sometimes even these teams are experiencing some unexpected incidents against weaker teams but the most important thing is to be consistent anyway. If they manage to stay strong despite these things then they have a powerful mindset to make it to the final and even the championship. They need some luck also of course as Manchester City didn't have that against Real Madrid last season for example. 

Last season, if I remember correctly, many people believed in Manchester City because KDB, who always performed well, supplied the ball to Sterling, Mahrez and Gabriel, but in the end, they all fell silent because they had to be disappointed again
Don't be too confident now even though it can't be denied that Haaland is a pretty great goal machine but this is a competition with a great team and we can't know who they will be playing against when they are in the knockout phase because for the group phase it's clear they will definitely pass.

It's not Manchester City lucky to signs him but in my opinion he was lucky to choose Manchester City as his current club because if he still in Dortmund or other clubs i am not sure he will reach to high level performance and in this team there are plenty of players who had good quality to pass so Haaland can playing with more comfortable because of their service and from season to season Manchester City always be the favourite for race title but seems they weren't lucky enough because always failed at knock out stage and on 2021 they almost get the trophy but they defeated Chelsea

Ah okay. And what about Manchester City in previous years? Did they have a bad team then? I don't think so.

I wouldn't write off the other teams. Besides Manchester City and Real Madrid, there are some other teams that have great chances to win the CL e.g. FC Bayern Munich or of course PSG to name two strong competitors.

Overall, however, it must be said that winning the CL can not be planned. There are many strong teams with an extremely high level and often it depends on daily performance, luck and the right motivation whether a team advances. Just because a team has the strongest squad on paper, it doesn't mean that the team will win the CL.

Well they really need to get better on their performance against Roma so they can have a better insight into the match against Barcelona, for me they are not that bad of a team but against Barcelona which now has a striking advantage because of Lewandowski they are pretty much toast for the UEFA Champions League and against Barcelona that pretty much doing well right now and on October 1 pretty much my pick will be Barcelona,


Right now Manchester City and PSG are doing great both teams are in their respective Groups, Group G and H and eventually, we will see their pin against each other when the semi-finals starts for me I will be rooting for Man City, now that Erling Halland is on the team I am a big Halland fan so expect me to be watching that match for sure, but I don't really know if there is a coincidence that Manchester City and Dortmund is fit against on the same group we all know Erling Halland is from Dortmund and Bayern Munich and Barcelona can because Lewandowski was from Bayern Munich back then, this could be a coincidence,

Real Madrid is still the king of the Champions League so far and this season Real Madrid are also the defending champions in the Champions League so it would be a little funny if you say at Real Madrid no player can score as many goals as Haaland. That means you can't see players like Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo.
And people judge when you say that for other teams, you are a fan of Haaland and not for Manchester City.

I believe that Inter have a strong enough squad for being competitive in the Champions League and Serie A both. But there is something interesting going on with the team for many weeks. Simone Inzaghi is still having a difficulty in finding the source of this problem. After having a wonderful season in the Serie A I wouldn't expect them to start like this. They were fighting for the title until the end then but now they are getting away from there week by week.

Even though they seem to have the same points with Barcelona in their group here I can't say that they are playing at the same level with them. Barcelona will most probably prove this by a reassuring win next Tuesday also. As this has been an international break I guess many of Inter players have been on national duty so most of their important players must have missed team training. We will see if something will change by their next game which is against Roma home. If they don't win this then I'll be sure of a Barcelona win in Giuseppe Meazza.

I will not rush who will win the champions league champion, if we talk about feelings, often feelings deceive us in determining bets and ultimately lose. however, yes manchester city has a great chance to win the champions league title with its newcomer "Erling Haaland". he is a goalscoring monster owned by manchester city, he is expected to bring man city to win the title.

however, I think it's no different from SPG, currently psg has strikers who are more feared than man city, if man city has haaland, on the other hand SPG has three strikers who are terrible in terms of scoring goals.
However, both of these clubs have never won the champions league title, and I hope that one of them becomes a champions league finalist.

it's a team game not just individuals, Haaland is indeed a player of above average quality and Manchester City have been very lucky to sign him this season but that doesn't mean because they have Haaland this season they will be able to win the title easily.
it's been several seasons Manchester City have always been favorites to win the UCL title but they never got it, this is the most prestigious stage on the blue continent of course the tension is very high and many big teams are giving everything on this stage, therefore there will be no team who will win it easily and many other teams also have the same chance of winning the UCL this season.
