Galatasaray have made it to the group stage maybe but their game wasn't convincing at all at the same time. They had problems on more things in the second leg. They couldn't be productive at scoring goals and they gave unnecessarily much chances to their opponent. Molde were nearly getting 2-1 ahead which would have made things really difficult.
Galatasaray need to improve this performance immediately before group matches start. Otherwise they can struggle much more there.
Galatasaray are quite comfortable with the advantage in the first leg and playing at home gives them confidence by not allowing their opponents to change the situation that was already on Galatasaray's side to become Molde's, but it is true that a team must continue to improve if they want to be able to go further in this big tournament, but most of the teams from the play-off round failed in the group phase because in the group phase the competition had different strengths
Young boys managed to win to be able to play in the Champions League group phase, even though they played at home and managed to score three goals but it was not an easy match because Maccabi Haifa managed to provide tough resistance by controlling the game and also had more opportunities than the home team but they failed in the finishing touches so that the opportunity wasted.
for now Galatasaray is the star of another team and there is no doubt how this team looks and performs and in the previous match Galatasaray has seen how the Galatasaray player look which makes us sure that leg 2 will win and make profits for bettors. on the one hand Molde had several opportunities but its shame these opportunities were wasted and I saw this player always in a hurry when he wanted to shoot the ball at goal so the ball was not on target. I really appreciate Galatasaray struggles in the UCL session, they have enough strength to admit but do not know how they will look when they can actually meet stronger top team.

Galatasaray is a very experienced team. And because of experience they won against Molde. If we look at the two matches, it is clear that Molde's players dominated both matches. They did a lot of attacks. But they were not good at finishing. Molde's squad did not have an experienced striker. Because of this, they cannot break through Galatasaray's defense. Galatasaray, on the other hand, were very tactical. They do not attack unnecessarily. They have very few attacks. But every attack was planned and powerful. And that's why they easily fooled Molde's defenders and scored. In addition to playing well in these important matches, it is also necessary to be tactical. Otherwise it is very difficult to win.

For me this will be the most interesting match today... I think PSV will win, but I wouldn't be surprised if the opposite happens... Of course on home field PSV have more chances to win, but Rangers are an experienced team... I'm sure it will be a good battle, because the exit to the group stage is at stake...

He could win, the chances are very high. After all, it's a team that has really invested a lot in quality players, we need to see if you can get this investment back for what it cost.
I don't like how they do it, let's see if it makes it.

Icardi's transfer is an important point for Galatasaray and he is making that felt in every game. Icardi and Muslera are two of the best signings of Galatasaray in recent seasons. Icardi has become an integral part of the team with his performance. I don't think anyone expected Molde to be so resilient. They showed that they have the potential to beat Galatasaray at home but of course they couldn't do it. When we look at the squad value and squad of Galatasaray, we can easily say that they have a far superior squad than Molde.

Galatasaray are really strong in the attacking line especially thanks to Icardi. His regular contribution with goals is a big help for winning matches. However even he can't save the team when the team effort is bad. I wasn't expecting them to get a win in this match after watching the team performance against Molde.

Torreira was back as well this time but there was still something wrong. Molde were still able to find goal chances without problems where Galatasaray should have dominated normally.

Hopefully Ramos is joining Galatasaray after reaching the group stage. They really need some reinforcement in defense.
Galatasaray doesn't exactly play good attacking football, but as long as they have good players who can finish, they can make the most of it when they have an attack. Icardi is a really good striker and we know that Icardi's goal or contribution almost every game is one of the most important elements that keep Galatasaray up. Even though they had a poor performance against Molde, they managed to win with a last minute goal from a free kick. At the end of the day, in football, it's not who plays well, it's who puts the ball in the net that wins. No matter how well you play, sometimes luck is not on your side and you struggle to score. Your opponent comes to your goal once and finds the goal and wins the match. Unfortunately, these things exist in football.
If the Ramos transfer goes through, it will be another important transfer for Galatasaray. No matter how old he is, it will be important for the team to bring in such an experienced player.

Galatasaray beat Molde yesterday, albeit with difficulty, and qualified for the Champions League group stage. With this win, they took an important point in Turkey and moved up to 9th place. Galatasaray took the lead in the 7th minute with a penalty. Icardi took the penalty and scored. In the second half, Molde equalized in the 66th minute, but it would not be enough for them to advance.  After Molde scored another goal in the last minutes but it was canceled for offside, Galatasaray scored and won 2-1.
Unexpectedly, when Molde put up quite a fierce resistance in this match, when the first leg was played at Molde's home ground, Galatasaray was able to win and many people predicted that Galatasaray would be able to win easily in the second leg because it was played at their home ground.
However, in this match Molde made the match fierce, even though their chances were very small.
However, if you look at the quality, I think Galatasaray really deserves to qualify, they are quite strong this season, especially with the arrival of Icardi making quite significant changes to their front line.

Bookmakers are high on the odds of PSV winning today... But in the first match in Glasgow there was a 2-2 draw and it seems to me that Rangers have equal chances to win... I don't understand why the odds are so different... But probably a good bet would be just both teams to score...
Maybe they are expecting a dramatic revenge from PSV this season.
Both teams were in this exact situation last season after a 2 all draw in the first leg and Rangers advanced beating PSV 1-nil. This season the script is rewritten and all odds are favoring PSV to win this time around.

PSV are playing at home and have made a good start to the season, while Rangers have to also look ahead to the weekend and their clash with Celtic.

Julián Álvarez will never play comfortable as attacking midfielder, he is a striker. I'm sure Guardiola won't force him to play as attacking midfielder if Bernardo Silva and Cole Palmer are available in the squad. Unless these players got injured, so Guardiola must have an alternative to change the formation or try to put Alvarez as an attacking midfielder.


A player who plays well in any position should play in that position. We have seen Julián Álvarez perform well as a striker at the World Cup so I think if he is considered as a striker in the team he will perform better than a midfielder. Guardiwala definitely understands football much better than us so he will definitely take the right decision for the needs of the team. Julián Álvarez may be considered in the regular XI by Manchester City due to injuries to key players in the team. If Julián Álvarez is considered for the regular XI, the question on everyone's mind is in which position he will play. Guardiwala may consider Julián Álvarez as an attacking midfielder in the beginning, if he does not perform well as an attacking midfielder, Guardiwala may change his position and play him in the striker position.

He is a striker and does not have good skills to play as an attacking midfielder or even as a forward. He is not like Messi or Dybala who feels more comfortable by playing as a forward, play maker or attacking midfielder.

I agree with you that Guardiola knows about that and he also knows that Julian has yet developed his skills for an attacking midfielder. Maybe he will try to test Julian with different positions than a striker as it is his style. He also requires his players to be able to play at different positions as it gives him and the club more flexibility in tactics.

There were no big surprises. Only the favorite teams have qualified. But I thought Maccabi Haifa would probably qualify for the Champions League. Young Boys and Maccabi Haifa teams I thought were almost equally strong. However, in the home match, Young boys players played brilliantly. The team won a fantastic 3-0. Maccabi Haifa's performance was not bad. However, they could not break the strong defense of young Boys.
What impressed me the most was Molde's performance. I did not know this team well. This team is completely unknown to me. However  their performances against galatasaray were excellent in both matches. However the team lost both matches. But they played well. The team is not experienced enough. If they are experienced enough, we may see this team in the Champions League in the future.
Young Boy is most experienced teams who play in Champion League than Maccabi Haifa without get experience play in UCL, its fantastic winning from Young Boy with aggregate 3-0, first leg both teams get draw and Young Boy have impressive performance on second leg when becoming host, they don't make their fans disappointed after fantastic winning and qualify to Champion League. Not only with Young Boy but also Turkey Super Lig team Galatasaray success qualify to Champion League after aggregate winning 5-3 from Molde. Have good capital with first leg winning 2-3 made Galatasaray more confidence on second leg and success winning over 2-1 make them back participants in Champion League season 2023/24.
Young Boys and Galatasaray are the favorites and this result is quite reasonable in my opinion, but I was a little surprised by Molde's performance, which put up quite a fierce resistance in this second leg, even though they still lost, but that was good enough in my opinion.
And Mauro Icardi is scoring again for Galatasaray, he continues to prove himself that he still has good quality, I think it is a big advantage for Galatasaray to sign Icardi for their front line.

And in another match, Panantinaikos lost in front of their own crowd, after the first leg they also lost 2-1 at home to SC Braga. I thought Panantinaikos could turn the situation around in the second leg, playing at their own cage, but in fact it's not the case, this is very unfortunate, even though if you look at The strength of these two teams is quite even.

There's nothing wrong with their performance in the second leg, they already excelled in the first leg when they played at Aker Stadium, therefore they didn't play aggressively in the second leg and preferred to play relaxed and defend a bit. For me they have done great things, Molde isn't a weak club, they're the strongest in Norway. The difference of 2 goals on aggregate is already a big achievement for them, and what they then have to prepare for is an even better game during the group phase later.

Champions League results are more tricky than domestic leagues, sometimes they are just random.
Three games were played tonight and as expected Galatasaray, Young Boys and Braga all qualified. We will see if the rest will qualify or not by tomorrow.
Normally it's hard to predict results when two different league teams play. But today there was no surprise and all three games finished as what we expected.
Just as I pointed out in my last message here, three favorite teams won their games and advanced to group stage. Galatasaray, Sporting Braga and Young Boys were better teams. They didn't make any mistakes.
I prefer better teams to participate in Champions League because we see the biggest competition there. When there is a weak team in the group stage that affects whole group. Everybody try to score a lot to that team and that somehow kill the fun and competition.

Young Boys players were very discipline to guard their defensive lines and this make Maccabi Haifa players looks frustrate moreover Young Boys can able to utilized almost every opportunities to scores and their counter attack strategy are run well in this match and i thought this match will ended with narrow score but clearly i was wrong because Young Boys can beat Maccabi Haifa with decent scores
On the other hand Panathinaikos was failed to qualified after they lose from Braga at their home and Panathinaikos were taking initiative to playing attacking since the beginning of match but Braga displayed solid performance and it makes Panathinaikos failed to broke the defense of Braga even 7 minutes before match ended at second half Panathinaikos have to conceded from Bruma goal

Galatasaray eliminated Molde thanks to Muslera's outstanding performance and qualified for the group stages of the Champions League. Icardi had been brilliant in the first leg of the match, but Muslera was outstanding in this match. Galatasaray fans are very lucky to have a goalkeeper like him. He has been a very important part of Galatasaray's success in recent years. He is 37 years old but his performance tonight showed that he can play top level football for a few more seasons. In short, they made it through the elimination phase thanks to the individual talents in the team, but they need more in the group stage and they need to improve their team play to be successful in the group stage.

Is Is there a problem by making a small margin in term of goal against molde? My concern is as long as galatasaray was winning against molde and it will not be a problem for the club.
The primary aim for galatasaray to be qualified for UCL, and galatasaray makes it happen. This is more than enough rather than only focusing on making as many goals as possible but lose against molde.
Saray successfully passing molde at this moment which is a good achievement.

Galatasaray need to improve this performance immediately before group matches start. Otherwise they can struggle much more there.
As long as saray already qualified for group stage and that's enough. I don't expect this club to go to the play off. Saray will be facing some hard games on the group stage.
I wonder which clubs that will be in the same club with saray. It's probably manchester city or bayern. Perhaps saray can also be in the same group with spanish club like barcelona as well.
