I personally think that maybe Napoli can do better this time. They haven't been regularly joining the Champions League above all else. Therefore there was some lack of experience. They still did great last season of course. Because they made it to the quarter finals. However they couldn't deal with Milan obstacle despite a big effort.

But this time I will be expecting an even more competitive and aware team. They should be able to develop better strategies against especially the experienced teams of the tournament. When it comes to their group now I can just say it is quite easy for them. We should be watching a tough fight between Napoli and Real Madrid for advancing as the leader.
Last season was probably one of Napoli's biggest milestones in the champions league and I agree they just need to get used to this competition to get something better. Even now, the Napoli squad is still filled with defensive players and all of them will only have to develop their abilities further. The champions league competition is the toughest and all the teams are competing against each other to win this title. Napoli's match against Real Madrid in the group phase was the most exciting and we can assume that these two teams will advance to the next round.

the group where Napoli was placed after the draw is quite within Napoli's reach, I personally think they could finish second in the group without major problems, Real Madrid are the number one candidate to win the group and are favorites to win the Champions League . However, if Napoli maintains last year's pace, they could do even better and reach the semifinals, but it all depends on the post-group draws

Napoli could be first in that group. Real Madrid and Napoli are expected to come out. It wouldn't make much sense to expect surprises from that group. Braga and Union Berlin aren't even mid-range teams. We can call them teams with the quality of the Europa League more. If Napoli plays well like last year, they will be the leader of this group. Of course, the post group draws are very important. If they have the chance, I think they can make it to the semi-finals. After all, they have a very effective weapon like Osimhen.

Real Madrid will clearly lead this group while Napoli will second the group. This does not mean that Napoli doesn't have the capacity to top the group, but I don't expect it this time around that Real Madrid seems provoked.
We have to learn not to underrate teams, especially the one from Germany. Union Berlin has the capacity to prevent a football team from qualifying, even if themselves will not qualify. Union Berlin is can hold both Real Madrid and Napoli to draw. So, teams in that group should be weary of them.

Well, Union Berlin and Napoli made the group quite tough, I know we barely see the game of the both sides all we focus on is how many goals they score and the stats. Union Berlin had a great season and Napoli, we all know won the Seria A after thirty good years without the trophy.

I'd love to see Real Madrid scouts and President keeping a close eye on Khivicha Kvaratskhelia ( A player I really think deserves a club like Real Madrid for his qualities and high work rate ) He deserves a bigger and better club than Napoli. As for Victor Oshime, His final destination should be Chelsea, I would see that happening next season because, they claim they have Nicholas Jackson but I'm sure he's no top notch as Victor Oshime.

No arguments with Real Madrid topping the group, hit they will have some difficulty scoring goals.

Yes, it seems very fortunate for Manchester City to be in a relatively easy group, and by being in an easy group like this. Then of course, Manchester City will also not continue to push Bruyne to play in the group stage, because of course Pep Guardiola will recover Bruyne to prepare to play in the knockout phase later. But apart from that, it seems that group E will also be a competitive competition because it seems, the teams in group E have a quality that is not much different. They are Lazio, Feyenoord, Atletico and also Celtic and ya, although perhaps Atletico and Lazio will be the favorites. But I am sure that Feyenoord and Celtic also have the ability and quality to get the points.

Group E, in my opinion, is also a difficult group. Out of the four clubs there, I believe Atletico are the favourites and will comfortably qualify for the knockout phase of the tournament. Lazio is also a good team, but I doubt they can easily defeat Celtic and advance to the knockout stage alongside Atletico. Feyenoord are the smaller team that I believe will not get past the group stage, but Lazio and Celtic will have to compete to advance to the knockout phase of the competition.

Without doubt, the group F that consists of Paris Saint Germaine, Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan which many refer to the group of death is the most difficult but yet most interesting group of this season's UEFA Champions League competition. Newcastle who for the first time in almost 20 years they last played in the competition happens to find themselves in that will definitely not be happy with the draw but has no option than to take on the challenge.
PSG for a fact are the favourites to win that group but from what I've seen so far in the last 12 months from Newcastle, they stand a good chance of reaching the knockout stage of the competition.

Newcastle are challenged to immediately show that their entry into the UCL is no joke. In my opinion there is a positive thing because if Newcastle is able to compete and eventually qualify, it means that Newcastle's existence will be increasingly taken into account. If you look at the development of this club from season to season, in my opinion it can provide quite tough resistance. PSG is already without Messi and Neymar, then Dormund is also now without Bellingham. That way, the strengths of each club can still be matched by Newcastle if they take advantage of this situation.
In Newcastle's second season under their coach, they will face a tougher challenge to showcase their technical skills and compete against diverse European playing styles, distinct from those in England. I have confidence in Newcastle's ability to qualify from the group, thanks to their strong and deep team, especially considering the addition of several talented players.

In as much as we want the ability of Newcastle United to put to test we did not pray that they should have this tough featuring. I mean, this is so outrageous for a new club in the Champions League. If you observe very well, Newcastle is already having issues in the local League playing in the English Premier League. So the European competition would be more burden on them. I wish they had an easy team to qualify from because their tendency of qualifying from this deadly group is very narrow, and I will not blame them if they do not qualify as they are already falling apart in the English, Premier League.

At least in the group stage you can trust and let the newcomer prove himself, because Barcelona are not in the most difficult group, you can even experiment a little. Although there is also La Liga for that, so as not to take risks in such a tournament, especially for Barcelona this season it is very important. So far I see that Barcelona can definitely get out of the group, maybe even reach the quarter-finals, and then it all depends on the opponent
Basically, almost all groups look easy to become top of the standings for some of Europe's top teams, except for group F. Barcelona is fortunate to get relatively easier opponents this season, but I don't really dare to guarantee they can qualify easily and lead Group H in the end.

All teams can be surprised that Barcelona still has the possibility of failing to reach the last 16 if all the opposing teams are really able to make it difficult for Barcelona to win the match. I agree Barcelona are favorites in Group H, but that's not a guarantee to see them through easily to the next round.

I agree, especially as it's already happened a few times, if I'm not mistaken, when it was obvious they were likely to get out of the group - they went to the Europa league. Still, they look much better now than they did then, so I think they can get out of the group, their game is quite coherent and well constructed

What a f*cking easy group for Manchester City with all these teams who City can beat them very easily as they come from much lower quality leagues like Young Boys from Swiss Super League and C.Zvedza from Serbian Premier League,these surely won't put up any difficulty or fight against Manchester City.They also have Leipzig again which they beat and eliminated last year so also this team does not pose any threat for them.Also most other groups are easy for the big teams like for Real and Napoli which will most likely get past group stages very easy.Also for the other teams like Bayern,Manchester,Arsenal and Barcelona which should come out easily of the group stages.Only the group of Newcastle will be very competitive and the most interesting I think.

Yes, it seems very fortunate for Manchester City to be in a relatively easy group, and by being in an easy group like this.

But I am sure that Feyenoord and Celtic also have the ability and quality to get the points.

Manchester City drew one of the easiest draws to tell the truth. So the group is quite easy compared to other groups. They faced Leipzig last year and their strongest rivals are Leipzig in the group. I think Manchester City will have 6 wins in 6 matches in the group. I do not agree that Lazio is the favourite. Feyenoord is stronger than them in my opinion.

The Turkish representative Galatasaray have had a really unlucky draw. I mean I think that the best achievement they can get in this group is to finish in 3rd place. Because it is very difficult for them to deal with Bayern Munich and Manchester United. They can only hope for getting a point home but even that isn't easy at all.

Maybe they can do well against Manchester United home because the Manchester team haven't started the season very impressively. If they can't work out their problems on defending this can be an important weakness.

Apart from that Galatasaray should be able to defeat Copenhagen in both matches to guarantee the Europa League ticket at least.
That is more than enough to be fair, there are few other teams like that. UCL is no longer the league where some teams could have a good lucky path that they go to quarter finals or anything. The first big five teams of each big five league will go on, and there are some seconds and thirds in some of those leagues which rounds up the top 8, the rest are not that bad teams which will do fine that finds the last 16, a few here and there teams will round it up.

It's just not possible for a team that faced 3 teams before going to groups could be any good to go out of the group stages anymore, it's just not possible, the level difference is too gigantic. Being fourth is not a bad thing for them, it's the expected result, if they are third though, that is a big achievement, but that should be the only possibilities. If they somehow become second? That would be unexpected one.

Manchester City will obviously benefit from this, which will give them plenty of time to rotate tier 2 players. Because in my opinion, Pep Guardiola believes he can still boast an advantage if he has to reduce the composition of his second-tier squad in the group stage. Manchester City's luck in being in the safe group will only make it easier for them to achieve another UCL trophy.

I personally think that maybe Napoli can do better this time. They haven't been regularly joining the Champions League above all else. Therefore there was some lack of experience. They still did great last season of course. Because they made it to the quarter finals. However they couldn't deal with Milan obstacle despite a big effort.
Napoli and Madrid are in the same group, at least for these two clubs it's not too difficult compared to other quite interesting groups like Group F where in the end PSG has to play against strong clubs. Don't forget, Man United was also unlucky to face the same group as Bayern Munich. Then Arsenal and Sevilla, it could be said that Sevilla can play more ambitiously.

Real Madrid might be their biggest challenge, I'm not ruling out Union Berlin and Braga, it's just that Real Madrid seems to be the only one.
Experience in big competitions like this is very important, here the club is not only required to play well, but mentality and experience are two things that are tied together. If we go back to last season, I can say that they were game ready, but mentally they were still lacking so they lost to clubs from the same league because they were more mental and also more experienced.
They need to show that they can not only play and have a good mentality in Serie A but also here.

everyone has a chance, but what is clear is that in the next round, we will lose several strong teams. unfortunately, these teams are in the same group. Betting on matches in this group will be quite interesting. I'm sure the Odds offered will also be good.
everyone in this group deserves for the next round, but maybe seeing Newcastle and Milan qualify would be better. yes, I want to see how Newcastle can compete in the Champions League. PSG may be strong, moreover, they have the ambition they brought several seasons ago. but this season their team doesn't seem to be in such good shape.

The Newcastle team is pretty stable. This team is able to maintain consistency of performance due to coach eddie howe's excellent match strategy. They are doing well with a mediocre squad. But the main problem for newcastle is that newcastle's players are inexperienced for the champions league platform. Also their coach Eddie howe is also inexperienced for this platform. Because of this they are likely to lag behind.
Every match in Group F will be exciting. And the odds are likely to be very good in the matches as well. I will check the squad and try to bet on each match. However, it is impossible to make sure predictions about Group F matches.

But I am sure that Feyenoord and Celtic also have the ability and quality to get the points.
It is difficult to put Lazio out of the group phase and advance to the round of 16, in Serie A they were very bad in the first two matches. Currently they are at the bottom of the standings, even though last season they were runners up under Napoli. If you look at the composition of the squad, ATM can be the favorite to qualify easily. When referring to the EUFA ranking, Feyenoord is better than Lazio and Celtic. So I predict ATM and Feyenoord will move into the last 16 from group E.

Lazio are a difficult team to predict at the moment and I don't think they have found their best form at the start of the season. The two matches they played in Serie A ended in defeat for Lazio, but I believe that Lazio will be very different in the Champions League. I will consider Lazio to qualify for the last 16, but I will wait and see how they perform in the first two group stage games.

From Group E, I think Atletico Madrid and Lazio are the teams that have a better chance of qualifying for the round of 16. But no one should underestimate any team because the Champions League atmosphere is very different from the domestic league.

For Man City they can definitely come out as group winners, Pep Guardiola's squad will not encounter significant difficulties from group G.

I have no doubts about Manchester City. Pep Guardiola will definitely be aiming for full points in 6 group stage matches to lead the table, but it's not a bad thing to loss 2-4 points if the 3 teams against him are really surprising.

Real Madrid will clearly lead this group while Napoli will second the group. This does not mean that Napoli doesn't have the capacity to top the group, but I don't expect it this time around that Real Madrid seems provoked.
We have to learn not to underrate teams, especially the one from Germany. Union Berlin has the capacity to prevent a football team from qualifying, even if themselves will not qualify. Union Berlin is can hold both Real Madrid and Napoli to draw. So, teams in that group should be weary of them.
Yes, I also believe that Real Madrid will be able to qualify as group winners, Madrid are still always top seeds in the Champions League despite some changes in their squad. Napoli and Union Berlin might struggle with each other to win a runner-up ticket, in my opinion these two teams have almost equal strengths and it's hard to predict.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle are in Group F, definitely the Group Of Death

They will face PSG, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan. It’ll be really tough but they can definitely do it. Newcastle’s home form will be key. There aren’t many better crowds to play in front of.
Eddie Howe's first challenge was so tense being in a group with PSG, Dortmund, AC Milan.
Many people are talking about Newcastle having difficulty going far in this big European tournament because Group F is classified as the tightest group or what is called the group of death.

For Eddie Howe's first experience, being in a group like Group F can have a positive impact on Eddie's personality. He can test his coaching strategy against big name teams (PSG, Milan and Dortmund) and if he can get Newcastle past the group stage, it will be easy when facing other teams who have qualified from other groups.

I feel that Eddie Howe was able to make Newcastle compete well in Group F in securing a ticket to the next round. Supporting factors in St. James' Park could be a positive influence for the Magpies.
I don't think that Newcastle will be the points target of the other three teams, even though they haven't felt the atmosphere of the Champions League for a long time, but I'm sure they will still bring their strength like in the EPL. I'm pretty sure other teams will also really count on Newcastle, they won't underestimate the representative from England at all.

Eddy Howe will probably really enjoy every match without being burdened in the slightest so that he is very flexible in managing strategies on the field. The collective style of play displayed by Howe will certainly be very wary of other teams. It will be interesting for us to observe this group and it is possible that Milan, Dortmund and Newcastle will be able to beat PSG even though they are the favorites.

The group situation occupied by Manchester City is almost the same as the group obtained by Barcelona which is also filled with several weak teams. We can know that both Manchester City and Barcelona will have a greater chance of qualifying from the group stage. Manchester city will go so easily without any obstacles against the teams you mentioned. Apart from that, Manchester City will definitely be aiming for the position of group winner in order to get a fairly easy opponent in the round of 16. Leipzig is not a threat but they must at least try harder to beat Young Boys and C.Zvedza so they can accompany Manchester City as group runners up. We know that Leipzig has lost several key players this season and one of them is Gvardiol who has joined Manchester City.
