Topic: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season - page 1117. (Read 141749 times)

UEFA Champions League comes with much excitement and actions from elite clubs and football lovers. Exercising patience for UEFA Champions League draw today, definitely ongoing to stream it live. Focusing on the club's that didn't have a good performance in the previous season in UEFA CL probably they will out time for their terrible display. Barcelona have a long way to go this season and they will be relenting more on Xavi Hernandez formation and strategy. The bluagrana ultimate targets is to reach the crucial phases in the competition, getting high rank points and lifting the trophy is their dream.

I also thought that it would not be easy for PSV to win this game and even wondered why the bookies rated their win so high... But this match was very good for PSV and really turned out to be terrible for Rangers... I didn't think it would happen like that after an equal first game...

Congrats, PSV was just destroying rangers after it was lost in the first leg. Playing home or away matters a lot. It surprises me how PSV destroyed braga with very big scores. It's very interesting to know the result from the UCL group draw.
Young boyz was also performing differently compared with the first leg. I hope arsenal gonna face a strong team soon. It will be so good to see madrid to get easy group. I will be very happy to see that.

It's likely barcelona gonna face arsenal. There are some clubs that have become my concerns now, especially barcelona. This club always could not go to the play off.
barcelona was always failed in passing the group stage. Xavi will be coming with so many changes in the new squad. It's pretty interesting to see barcelona to play in UCL soon.

Six teams have been confirmed to qualify for the UCL play-off round this season, then they will be included in the 2023 UCL pot distribution. There are four pots available, each pot will be filled with eight teams and then a drawing will take place.

Pot 1

• Manchester City
• Sevilla
• Barcelona
• Napoli
• Bayern Munich
• PSG
• Benfica
• Feyenoord

Pot 2

• Real Madrid
• Manchester United
• Inter Milan
• Borussia Dortmund
• Atletico Madrid
• RB Leipzig
• Porto
• Arsenal

Pot 3

• Shakhtar Donetsk
• Salzburg
• AC Milan
• Braga
• PSV
• Lazio
• Red Star Belgrade
• FC Copenhagen

Pot 4

• Real Sociedad
• Galatasaray
• Celtic
• Newcastle
• Union Berlin
• Lens
• Antwerp
• Young Boys

Pot 1 is filled by the team that won last season's domestic competition and the Europa League champions, then Pots 2 to Pot 4 are determined based on the UEFA coefficient ranking. Looking at the teams that are sinking in different pots, it is very possible that Group Hell will occur. However, there is a UEFA rule that no two teams from the same country can be in the same group.

Even though there is a rule that 2 teams from the same country cannot be in the same group, it is still possible to create groups of hell like Manchester City, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Galatasaray. Or another possibility could happen after the drawing is done, it could be that 4 great clubs are in one group such as Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Milan and Newcastle.

The creation of a hell group is very likely to occur after the drawing is carried out because in previous years there were often hell groups at UCL. As happened last season, Bayern Munich, Inter and Barcelona are in one group. Viktoria Plzen became the butt of the three teams as a place to win.

It looks like your expectations will not come true at least in the Group stage because Barcelona and Bayern Munich are in the same pot. The scenario for the meeting of these two teams could have happened in the next round based on their performances while still in the UCL.

A miracle did not happen and PSV passed to the next stage, but the fact that the victory would be so big probably really few people expected. The first match was equal and in the second up to 65 minutes the score was 2:1 and it seemed that Rangers could win back, but De Jong turned on in time and PSV scored 3 goals, which apparently hit Rangers morale hard and then PSV scored 2 more and calmly brought the match to victory.

It will also be interesting to see Galatasaray further, they have an excellent line-up this year, I wonder if they will be able to leave the group this year?

In my opinion, this can't be done because the shuffling is determined by the ranking of each league, that's why in one grub the big clubs can't be put together in the grub, everyone certainly expects that to happen, but UEFA has a different view from us, because this is a business problem in football if the big clubs are knocked out in the round of 16, of course in the semifinal and final matches it is no longer interesting to watch, this is not a matter of belittling small clubs because UEFA wants these small clubs to be able to compete in the biggest arena In football, the division of big clubs into group qualifications is done to make it look interesting to watch.

we are facing a new season, several teams have revamped their squad. Barcelona may be one of the teams that is currently quite strong in the Champions League. if they are in the hell group, of course it is quite difficult to fight for a place in the next round like last season.
last season Xavi focused on their achievements in La Liga. and it worked. Now if Xavi is targeting the Champions League, I think they have to prepare their team and strategy when facing strong teams. Xavi clearly knows the weaknesses of his team, and when they meet a strong team they can't just rely on ball possession. especially the team that has a stronger defense.

Barcelona have bad trend in UEFA Champion League last two season in a row after failure qualify from group stage, they have been eliminated in group stage last season after loss fighting with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. For this season still waiting with drawing group stage and will possibility for Barcelona get difficult group?

Not optimist with Barcelona chance qualify to next phase if the same group with Inter and Bayern Munich because get bad trend actually against Bayern Munich never winning yet in last several matches. Last season, Barcelona defense is solid in domestic league with teams conceded fewest goals but playing in  Champion League they are most weakness defense.

Not seeing Liverpool on the list is quite strange to me, and out of the 4 Premier League clubs, Manchester City is the favorite, Arsenal and Manchester United will probably qualify from the group phase and play in the knockout stages, but Newcastle's presence in this tournament will probably be doubtful because they don't have enough experience here.
Sevilla, who qualified because they won the European league last season, are also one of the clubs that are in doubt because in Laliga they have performed poorly so far.
Bayern Munich is back to being a more competitive club with the arrival of their new striker Harry Kane, and it is a dream for the English player to be able to continue playing in the Champions League which he sometimes did not get at Tottenham.
And waiting for surprises from the teams that qualify from the playoffs in this group phase.

What do you guys think about pot 4 teams? Do you think which ones have better chances to advance to next stage? I think Real Sociedad and Newcastle United may surprise us all, its always best to not underestimate Spanish and English teams that could reach high ranks in their leagues. I think Celtic and Galatasaray are also ones that have higher chances to at least hit 3rd place in the group stage with their relatively strong squads.

Barcelona team has been able to perform amazingly in La Liga last season. The team is performing very well at the beginning of this season, so we can expect to do well in the Champions League as well.

We had a bit more expectations from Barcelona in the last season of the Champions League, but I don't know why Barcelona failed to give their best performance in the last season's Champions League. According to statistics, Barcelona took the lead from Bayern Munich last season but ended up losing 2-0 to Bayern Munich. Also, against Inter Milan, Barcelona created a chance to win but ended the match with a draw. Barcelona could have finished last season's Champions League well if they could have drawn against Munich. Despite performing worse than expected last season, Barcelona have a chance to do well this season, but to do well in the Champions League tournament, Barcelona's defense must be strengthened because Barcelona's defense has not been strong so far to me.

PSV is learn from their mistakes that since the beginning of match they were attempts to pressed Rangers and the result is they can control the match and win 5-1 and this is really unexpected result from PSV because surprisingly they can able to win with big scores from Rangers and a bit surprised to see Rangers performance because they were so poor in this match but this is good for PSV because finally they can get revenge after last season they lose in the same stage and other teams such as Braga, Copenhagen and Antwerp also following PSV steps that they will advances to the group stage and the drawing will be held today so just wondering on which group they will be in and because mostly the teams who qualified today will into pot 4 so big possibility they will into the same group with Manchester City or Barcelona

I was actually not very worried about Galatasaray. Because first of all, they had the advantage from the first leg. But yes, in the second leg, it was a little close for comfort to be honest. And I will definitely say that in that second leg, they were definitely a little lucky to win. But at the end of the day, they are not going to complain about how they are winning. The only thing that will matter is that they are winning. This is just the playoff in the Champions League competition though. A lot more harder competition is waiting ahead of them. I hope they will be able to perform well in those matches.

They were games with results that didn't surprise me too much, PSV played against Rangers, in the first leg it looked like Rangers would really have a chance of going through to another stage, but in this second leg game PSV showed a big difference in quality. between Rangers and them, it was a game in which PSV managed to score 5 goals and only conceded 1 goal, it's funny how treacherous these European competition games are, in the first leg both teams scored 2 goals, so it seemed that in a way they were balanced and in this second leg PSV's favoritism was clear. It was a crushing victory for PSV. Congratulations to PSV

Braga also won in their game, they had already won in the first leg and won again in this second leg, so they move on to another phase. Galatasaray also won again in their game against Mold, but to be honest this was a victory in which Galatasaray had to depend on luck, in the first leg they had difficulties to win and in this second leg even when playing at home they had it again. the same difficulty to win, I honestly keep asking myself what we have to expect from them in this champions league, how far will they get? It seems to me that they won't get far, in my opinion.

young boys who played against maccabi, in the first leg the game ended in a draw, so it seemed that maccabi would have a chance in the second leg game, but what we saw in this second leg game was a humiliating defeat for maccabi, the young boys They scored 3 goals and didn't concede any goals in this game, so they move on to another phase. Honestly, I don't see any of these teams that played and made it to the next stage getting far

Royal Antwerp, Copenhagen and PSV advanced to the group stage after beating their opponents in today's game and now there are 32 teams that will enter the group stage of the champions league season 23/24. Of course we can't wait for the results of the draw for the group phase and if I'm not mistaken the draw will be made tomorrow. Can't wait for any team to be in one group and maybe the most awaited thing is that there will be a group of hell in each season. But what is clear is that this season will be an exciting one after last season many newcomers managed to get a place in the champions league zone.

PSV were in total control especially during the second half of the game. I particularly liked their first goal scored by a beautiful header. Rangers were completely destroyed as they conceded 5 goals and could only manage to score one goal later scored by the captain. I bet that goal had probably given the Rangers side a morale boost only to be crushed as PSV put in more goals to ultimately win the game.

Rangers also helped increase the tally with a costly mistake that resulted in an own goal. That goal helped seal PSV’s win as they won the game comfortably with 5 goals to Rangers 1. PSV were really impressive as they had lots of attempts at scoring goals and ultimately came out with the win. The game was really thrilling as it produced a lot of goals.

No one doubts PSV when playing at home. Based on statistics since last season PSV has always won by 2 goals or more, I mean in Europa competitions of course we still remember how PSV beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Europa League match and today the opponent is Rangers clearly there is no doubt. I watched this match and I must say PSV attack was very fast and accurate, as you said if they play like this then PSV can be a threat to the opponent the only thing PSV lacks is mentally unstable when playing away for example in the first leg match against Rangers.

PSV were incredible today. The second half was just totally different. I was waiting to see a close score at the end honestly. Because a similar scenario was happening to the previous season. Once again the first leg in Rangers' home ended up with a 2-2 draw. I thought the whole matchup would end very close.

However PSV were completely different in the second half today. They increased their tempo a lot and scored 4 more goals. A big destruction by 5-1 must be the best way to revenge on the previous season as well. But most importantly the fans must be really happy now.

Psv was just by a class better then Rangers,in first game they werent lucky but in second game they destroyed Rangers. I think that PSV will be really good in the champions league and i think they will pass the group faze and will be in the knockout faze for sure if they play like this.
