In my personal assessment, it looks like Bayern Munich still has a great chance to consistently get wins in all matches in this group phase. After all, at this moment Manchester United also does not look to have a promising good performance to be able to beat Bayern Munich. Because after all, at least difficult opponent for Bayern Munich in this group seems to be only Manchester United but unfortunately, Manchester United performance also seems not strong enough at this moment. Therefore, I personally believe that Tuchel will still make Bayern Munich have good dominance in this group phase.

Bayern Munich is a very strong team now. Last season the team's weakness was in their attack . They did not have a regular scorer.  But the addition of harry kane to the squad solved the problem. Bayern munich's attack and midfield are now very strong . This team is performing well in the bundesliga. And if they can maintain such consistency, it will not be difficult for Munich to win the Bundesliga title. However Leverkusen played very well in the first three matches. However  whether Leverkusen will be able to maintain consistency cannot be said for sure.

I think Bayern Munich and Manchester City are the favorites for the Champions League title. Both these clubs have managed to build strong squads. And their performance is very consistent. The performance of La Liga teams Barcelona and Madrid is a bit slow now.

Signed Harry Kane is the best transfer from Bayern Munich during they have problem with attacking last season after leaving by Robert Lewandowski, so far Harry Kane have played three matches in  Bundesliga and scored 3 goals and one assist. Seems Bayern Munich problem with attacking line have been solved but they still have another problem with goal keeper position.

On UEFA Champion League opening match, Bayern Munich against Manchester United and looks excited match actually with United first experience after absent in Champion League last season.  Last season, Bayern Munich have impressive performance in group stage by winning all six matches and will this season with new manager Thomas Tuchel will success make the same record?

Bayern has solved the problem in the attacking divison after the club was able signing kane from totenham. Kane was able adapting to the club easily. He has been also making some great contribution to the club since he was coming.
It's likely bayern just need to focus on fixing the problem on its defenders. Bayern has a very good attacking line at this moment. Bayern is likely dominating the bundesliga this season, but it has a good competitor for now.
Bayern leverkusen has come as a great competitor for bayern munchen at this moment. Leverkusen is likely becomeing a threat for bayern to defend its title.
The next match gonna be the most important match as we will know which was stronger between bayern leverkusen compared with bayern munchen.

How can you say Bayern Munich has problems in attack, when at this moment Bayern Munich is still very good in the Bundesliga. Also with Kane in the Bayern Munich attack, it makes Bayern Munich have absolutely no problems in attack. So yes, I personally do not doubt the quality of Bayern Munich and of course, it is very possible for Bayern Munich to be able to win group A.

But about Manchester United, although Manchester United looks to have a chance to be runner up. But somehow, I personally don't really believe Manchester United will be the runner up in group A. Because after all, the situation and condition of Manchester United also still looks not so good in the Premier League at this moment. Therefore, I think the runner up in group A is likely to be a struggle between Manchester United and Galatasaray.

Bayern Munich team has some great problems in attacking division. But I have not seen any match of this team till now. This team performed admirably in the last season and we hope to correct the mistakes of the last season and show a new performance in this season.

For Group A, it is indeed easier to make predictions about who will advance to the next round because of the four teams there, only two teams have the ability and strength to advance to the next round. Copenhagen and Galatasaray are the teams that are very doubtful about qualifying for the next round, because Bayern Munich and Manchester United will try hard to place themselves in first and second positions so that Copenhagen and Galatasaray will have a little difficulty taking that position from Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

If I read the contents of your post, we agree that PSG and Milan have a greater chance of qualifying for the knockout round than the other two teams. there are several considerations that become our assessment, from all the contestants in the Group F phase. PSG is currently starting to show its performance in the domestic league, although it doesn't look solid yet.
Likewise with Milan, they are showing an impressive game in their domestic league, and what I consider about Milan is their purchase in the transfer window this summer. Now, Milan is in 2nd place even though it is only a goal difference from Inter Milan. At least, there is a difference in what Milan has shown this season.

As for Dormund, Edin Terzic's squad did not perform well enough in their domestic league. this is our consideration when Dortmund play their match in the Champions League. it's just that, sometimes Dotmund often displays a different performance when carrying out his matches in the Champions League. it is not impossible, Dortmund is able to show the difference in the match later.
Well, how about Newcastle. I'm not sure, they have had a series of bad matches in their domestic league. IMO, for me, the assessment of this team is not the players that are owned by the Newcastle squad, but rather the pattern and tactics applied by Eddie Howe. But, let's see and wait, because in football nothing is certain. Before the competition is held, each team will prepare their troops to show their best.

This season's Champions League group match draws is one of the most unfair and unfavorable draws.
I mean big teams were very lucky to meet the weaker ones in their teams why the weak ones were not able to meet their fellow week ones rather than meat the strong ones, which makes every group do have clearly people that are supposed to qualify apart from some few groups.
Looking at the Galatasaray group, you will understand that people to qualify from the group are Bayern Munich and Manchester United. It is so obvious unless the otherwise happens which is very rare. And that is how it is in so many other groups apart from the group where we have AC Milan, Newcastle, PSG and Dortmund.

Yea but there is this one variable which is difficult to evaluate: how seriously did Manchester City take the Super Cup match against Sevilla?

I am sure they took it seriously to a certain degree, but it wasn't like they were playing the biggest match of their life. Beating Manchester City in the Super Cup means more to Sevilla than it means to Manchester City beating Sevilla.

But apart from that I agree with you that there is certainly some quality in the Sevilla team that at present is proposing a conundrum because it couldn't get any worse for them in La Liga while at the same time they are able to play on a much higher level than they did and the question is what is their issue?

I can't even describe how galatasaray can win against munchen. I have different view about galatasaray in this group. There are some points that must be noted.

- MU had been facing crisis on its defensive line. Ten hag had no choice than give meguire a place to play in the mainsquad. This can also become an advantage for galatasaray.
- Copen hagen was not so strong compared with galatasaway but i would like to call either of clubs are equal at this moment.

Galatasaray has only zero chance to win against bayern but it acn still rely on its luck to win against bayern. Galatasaray was not fully losing its chance to get points from copenhagen or manchester united.

My conclusion is if galatasaray needs to put more effort to steal points from manchester united and copenhagen.

I think it is luck that will lead them to qualify from this group phase, seeing from the clubs that are joined with them, it is certain that they have a small chance than other clubs, especially when compared to Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
But I remind the club that is the favorite in this group, do not let them underestimate their group opponents. It is not just once or twice that we have seen clubs that are not seeded that can get rid of clubs that are favorites or clubs that have greater opportunities than them. So they should consider every opponent they face as a strong club.

I still don't know if PSG is going to perform with Enrique in the Champions League but I know PSG got many strong palyer and they spent lots of money for their team, which means they are the team I expect them to get themselves into the next stage, in the other hand, Newcastle had good performance in the last weeks of the last season but recently they couldn't perform well enough and Dortmund is not stable too. I think Milan and PSG got more chances to get into the next stage than the two other teams in this group.  
  

PSG is not being favored to win the group F. I would prefer to take acmilan as the favorite club to win this group. PSG's level was still far below acmilan at this moment.
Remember that if PSG is unable to go to the quarter final, even the club has messi and neymar on its side. Acmilan has gone to the quarter final last season. I believe acmilan is gonna be the winner for this group.

True. PSG may need to put more effort in competing against dortmund and newcastle for the second place. The problem is giroud has been reported injured on international break.

It's likely true consider all of the teams have equal performances but acmilan must be excepted.

Experience and mentality are something that is really needed in the Champions League, even though in the last few seasons Atletico Madrid's performance in the Champions League has decreased slightly, but if you look at experience I think they are much better than Lazio. But even so, we also have to be realistic because every team that plays in the Champions League will definitely prepare everything and they will definitely fight it out.

In addition to mentality and experience, the quality of a coach can also affect results, because he will better understand the application of strategies in more stressful match conditions. Diego Simeone has a lot of experience in this regard and even once brought Atletico Madrid to the final even though in the end they failed to emerge as champions.

When referring to results, of course all possibilities can still happen, but the effect of the results or achievements we need to see is the extent of the team's ability and support to be able to win the match. I see many things that make Atletico Madrid favorites and also no underestimate Lazio, but the reality is that Diego Simeone is very experienced in handling Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and maybe he will also try harder to become champions.

it will be very difficult for Galatasaray to qualify and compete with Bayern Munich while it will be difficult for that team to get past Man United and if we compare in terms of opportunities maybe if we are lucky Galatasaray can beat MU but to get rid of Bayern Munich it seems like it will be very difficult because in terms of player performance it is clear It is very much better for Munich who currently has a reliable player like Kane who has acknowledged that this star player will be a scoring machine for Bayern Munich in the UCL preliminary round which will really be able to break Galatasaray spirit in this UCL.

The two teams you’ve just mentioned, PSG and Milan are the most likely teams to qualify for the Champions League elimination round. Talking about experience, they’ve bought gathered a lot of them in the champions league over the years and their squad depth till date is still strong and solid to play in the champions league competition. Dortmund always find their way into the champions league but in recent years their performance has not been so convincing to depend on to go far in the league.

Comparing their performance with PSG and Milan, you’ll be convinced that they won’t make it out of the group stage easily. This is football and anything can happen but sometimes putting all this considerations in view, you’ll know the team to go the next round or not. Newcastle are the least to make it out of that group. There performance in the league games is not even encouraging, so making it out of the group stage of the champions league will be very difficult for them.

In this group, the material players are Bayern Munich and Man United, who seem to have progressed to the next phase. But for Man United, if they fail to enter the top 16 of the UCL, the chance may only be 40%, but the chances of winning the group seem difficult considering the condition of the players present. Moreover, currently players like Sancho and Antony are also experiencing problems and it could be said that the reserve players are also not in good form. So, Man United being runners up in the group is good even though there is a risk of meeting a stronger team later. I think this group will be more exciting than group F, every team has a chance to qualify from that group.

When it comes to the "group of death" which is Group F, I think that PSG and Milan will be advancing to next round. But the journey won't be easy for any member of the group most probably. Even PSG can be in trouble in a group like this. Because they are still not playing great as a team. They are too dependent on Mbappe.

This makes them really vulnerable against a team with strong team performance. Milan come first about this in the group. They are really impressive right now and I believe they can make huge difficulties for them just as Benfica did to PSG last season.

I believe the points will be very close to each other at the end of group stage.

Judging by the quality of players in each of the clubs in group A of the UEFA Champions League competition, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are the two strongest teams but that doesn't in any way guarantee that the two top teams are going to progress to the knockout stages of the competition at the expense of the other two teams especially Galatasaray.
Galatasaray has been very impressive with their performance this season which they continued from their last season incredible campaign that helped them win the Turkish Super Lig title. Mauro Icardi has been very instrumental to the club's success and has been very prolific in front of goal and with the striker at his best, Galatasaray might pull a surprise and progress to the knockout stages.
