I think Manchester United can still be relied on in the Champions League. Even though yes, so far this season Manchester United is still unreliable in the Premier League, but it looks like Manchester United is capable of producing different results in the Champions League . Because, even though Manchester United also lost the previous match against Bayern Munich, but in reality Manchester United still had a good fight in the match against Bayern Munich. Therefore, Manchester United should still be able to play well in the next match in the Champions League against Galatasaray. Even though the winning result is still uncertain, but I quite sure that Manchester United still has a chance to win against Galatasaray later.

Galatasaray's squad is weaker than Manchester United's. But I have no faith in Manchester United's performance. Manchester United's performance has become very poor and erratic. In the EFL Cup they won against Crystal Palace 3–0. But Manchester United failed to win against Crystal Palace in Premier League today. United lost the match 1-0.

United's opponents Galatasaray have no chance to call the team weak. Galatasaray's performance in Super Lig matches is very good. This team is consistently playing well. And so if United's performance is so erratic, they have no chance of winning. Manchester United must play well if they want to beat Galatasaray. A draw is most likely in this match.

Today at the EPL Manchester united did performed below expectations and I have been wondering if they will bring such performance to the champions league this week and be able to survive it? This definitely don't seem possible because the UCL more competitive and filled with more pressure than the premier league, and if they can't put up a good performance in the premier league where they should see as their comfort zone how much more the UCL??

I hope they will brace up and ten hag will learn his lessons from this and apply it for their next champions league game as it going to be even tough than that which they just experienced in the premier league. Another team that had a shocking loss has to be Manchester city loosing to wolves as this was least expect regardless of the fact that wolves were at home Manchester city was expected to do better.


Although it is believe that Manchester city will definitely perform better in their UCL game as they are usually excellent at UCL as compared to premier league, they happen to be the champions of UCL last season and has aswell been putting up good performance this season at the UCL, I expect them not to give to chances and play better at the UCL.

Manchester United vs Galatasaray, I really doubt Manchester United in this match because they are really unreliable. In the recently completed Premier League match, they had to lose to Crytal Palace with a score of 1-0. From there I see that this club is not reliable, especially if we include it in our betting list.
I will not be surprised when they have to swallow defeat in this match. But if they can win, it's a good result that they should get. I don't believe a big club that has a history like them should experience a situation like this, especially they are very difficult to get up.

For City, we have reviewed this team a lot. yep, you're right, after all City is still the favorite team in this competition, even though City's expectations are not like last season. But in reality, Pep hasn't shown the system he really wants. in some of his matches in the Premier League, he tends to play their young players. Apart from that, several players suffered re-injuries. although in the match against Leipzig, City players can certainly recover from their injuries, with the exception of De Bruyne.

In the Bayern camp, since Kane's arrival in the Bavaria squad, this team has been very productive in terms of scoring goals. However, this team will have quite a problem if they meet other strong teams. The problem is, Bayern often concedes when they meet quite strong teams. for example, in the German Super Cup match, Bayern versus Leverkusen. also, when hosting United at the Allianz Arena. Ulreich, always concedes when he meets teams that are also competitive. and this is a job for Tuchel, how he can overcome the weaknesses in his goalkeeper.

For me, there are other teams that also have the potential to advance to the next phase, maybe even to the final match later. Real Madrid is still in the category because after all they have a winning mentality and luck. Barcelona, ​​maybe not as ideal as City or Bayern.  However, this team has quite competitive depth depending on how Xavi processes his strategy and system. One more thing, I hope Arsenal will give their best game even though their chances are very slim compared to the teams mentioned above.  At least, they will qualify for the group phase and also have the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 later. but in the end, we just need to wait until the end of each match in the Champions League. After that, we will find out which team is lucky to advance to the final round.

With the current squad and performance of Barcelona since the start of the season, it's very possible for them to finish the season as the UEFA Champions League champions.
Xavi Hernandez has been very instrumental to the team's success. He acts like he understands the body language of all his Barcelona players and knows the best way to use his players. The addition of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo during the summer transfer window has also improved the team's performance and if they continue to be give their best as they're currently doing, Barcelona might be the champions of Europe again

To qualify for the group phase, I'm sure Barcelona can do it. now they have enough players to compete although Xavi's fear is injuries to some of Barcelona's pillar players.
Last season Barca was able to appear very consistent in La Liga, but currently, Xavi must have another target in the Champions League.
entering the top 16 is very possible for Barcelona. but the competition after that will only be strong European teams which will be very difficult for Xavi. I hope Xavi can rotate some of his players in matches that look easy for them and prepare the best squad performance for the Champions League match. does not lower the quality of the players in the Barcelona squad. but Xavi must be aware of his team's current shortcomings.

Yes, Barcelona can still be a candidate to win the Champions League and to qualify from the group, I'm sure Barca will be able to qualify, but it will be a tough job for Xavi because the competition in the Champions League is very competitive because almost all clubs compete with stronger power, which is different from matches in LaLiga so Xavi must have more appropriate strategy to divide the squad performance in LaLiga matches and Champions League matches so that Barca will not lose stability.
I can't wait to see Barcelona's match against Porto and I'm sure Barca will be able to secure victory in this match.

I believe they are going to be as good as they used to be in Bundesliga, I do not expect them to win it on the last game this time around and they will get a good amount of points margin with their title this year, but UCL is not the same.

It of course depends on the players of other teams, if City doesn't get all their players back for example, or if Real keeps having trouble with finding goals, then of course it is going to be easier for Bayern, but we can't really guarantee anything because Bayern still doesn't look like a UCL title team to me. Obviously Chelsea didn't look like one neither a few years ago, and they managed to beat City on the finals to get it, with Tuchel at the helm, so it should be quite a big help there.

This is the hardest group this season. Any team in this group has capability to beat each other.
I would not even surpried to see newcastle was struggling when it faced acmilan. Newcaslte among so many strong clubs right now. The competition is very hard for newcastle to be on top of group.


Winning the game against PSG is a must for newcastle. Acmilan may able to get full points from dortmund and newcastle needs also to get the same points like acmilan. The most potential candidate to go to the play off stage shall be PSG, milan and newcastle.
I hope newcsatle will not show shit game play when it will be hosting the game against PSG.

How can we know if barcelona is a strong squad while it was still facing some weak teams in its group? Barcelona has not yet proven its strength once it was facing a strong club in the UCL. I would not trust it till barcelona will able to prove its worthiness to win UCL this season. There are still many strong clubs in the competitions and they will be also going to the play off. Barcelona needs to face and beat at least one of the strongest candidate to win UCL like munchen and madrid.
Barcelnoa was always losing against some strong clubs. I don';t wanna call this club as strong contender to win UCL this season. I think that it's too early to say that.

Barcelona have a long way to go to achieve greatness in the Champions League, and they also need to prepare their squad mentally. Last season they failed in the group stage, and maybe now they will qualify, but in the knockout phase bigger challenges will come. If they're lucky they'll meet a weaker club, but if they meet a stronger club it will be difficult. I agree that maybe Barcelona won't get the title this season. Although their squad and their game is much better, there are still teams that are better than them for now.

I cannot wait for the second round of the match to commence to see if new castle can be able to win their match. In the group of new castle which is regarded as death group, I never thought that new castle could have one point. But I am surprised that they drew during the last match.
Since they drew and for the fact that they are doing well in the English Premier League,  it can boost their morale and they will be able to qualify.

If new castle can be consistent this season, evenif they are not able to qualify for the Champions League,  at least they should be among the top four of the English Premier League.

If we have to predict right now, I think we can actually say that Bayern Munich and Manchester City are probably the strongest to win the Champions League. But we all know that the Champions League is a very competitive competition. So almost anything can happen at any given time.

We have seen a lot of surprises happen in the Champions League. But it is also well established that if a team is performing consistently, they are definitely able to go to at least the semi-final of the competition.

So right now, I think we can expect them to reach the semifinals easily if they do not drop in terms of form. I still do not say that both of them will reach the finals because there are other teams like Real Madrid, which are really great competitive when it comes to the Champions League competition.

After last winning the UCL trophy in the 2014-2015 season, Barcelona best journey in the UCL was only being able to reach the semifinals in the 2018-2019 season before being defeated by Liverpool. In the past two seasons, Barcelona failed to qualify from the group phase, a difficult period for the Blaugrana because it was hit by various sanctions and a financial crisis. Now Barcelona is slowly showing signs of revival in the UCL with movements in the transfer market last summer making Xavi squad have good squad depth. Even though we know Brcelona management and Xavi that have to work around recruiting players through loans and free transfers, so far it looks quite successful.

To qualify from the group phase and advance to the last 16, I think it will be easy to do this season. Xavi squad is clearly the favorite to win Group H, yes if Barcelona wants to go further in the UCL this season, they have to work harder to beat strong teams like Madrid, City and Munchen.

Yes, because the opponent will only look after Haaland as a dangerous striker and threaten their goal, so don't be surprised if you see him less effective in the semifinals, even in the UCL final last season he couldn't score a goal because he was heavily guarded by several back line players, but mostly They forget that Manchester City players can always score goals, whether they are strikers or players in the midfield, including players in their back line.

Manchester City will not rely on Haaland, of course Guardiola also knows the players he is preparing to face their opponents in the UCL, therefore it is not surprising that they beat Munich and Madrid to reach the final where both clubs are very strong in the UCL, therefore Manchester City is still have a chance to win back-to-back UCL titles and no one knows but so far they have performed well in every game.

Exactly but now that Thomas Tuchel has arrived, I see the club as improving and they have bought Harry Kane again, the club is ready to face anyone in the champions league they are more motivated now I believe them they will try their best to win the champions league trophy this season, but he will be a tough games in the competition since Real Madrid and Manchester City are in the champions league definitely they need to remove them first before Bayern can get a chance to win the trophy, because they are the best in the world now after Real Madrid and Manchester City because they are playing well in the champions league, my prediction in this champions league that can win the trophy is real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, or Barcelona can win the champions league cup, because all the clubs that are playing well are only the clubs that are tough in the champions league now.

Barcelona can certainly still be a strong candidate until this round, especially since they haven't reached the highest place in the UCL competition for a long time. Barcelona's squad is much better now and perhaps we will see them perform differently than before with the depth they have now. Qualifying from the group is certain but maybe they will start to face obstacles in the round of 16 and that is the first tough task they have to overcome. However, it looks like they have to try harder and not be careless like last season and I hope they can make the most of every match.

Last season Bayern Munich was without a pure striker which affected their performance in the Champions league,  even in Bundesliga they only managed to win the Bundesliga.  This season Bayern Munich is doing very well in their performance,  their game in Champions league have been interesting. Bayern Munich having Harry kane has really increased their performance quality,  it is possible for Bayern Munich to win the Champions League this season because from their performance in champions league and Bundesliga their performance is good enough to obtain championship.
