Topic: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season - page 1177. (Read 141760 times)

Exactly! Barcelona's La Liga success last season does not give them much hope of winning the UEFA Champions League title because it is a difficult tournament that takes a large number of experienced players in a squad to win.

I am not disparaging the current Barcelona team, but they are not capable of winning the Champions League next season since they lack experienced players in comparison to the other strong teams in the competition.

If the teams in their groups were a little harder than them, they may return to the UEFA Europa League, like they did last season, because we all know that the clubs that qualified for the Champions League are good teams that can win the trophy as well.

No doubt about their tough work in the coming season but as we watch Arteta most chances he will learn from his mistakes which he has done in last season and now do much better in the Premier League even most chances they will be having no good chance in Champions League, but still things could be good for them because as they have few good signings and with the help of previous experience they will be able to have spot into knock out round because their quality is much better than many cubs and this can help them for having fair chance as well.

Work load could be problem but as they are having good players they also can manage this all without any problem and their main focus could be having aggressive approach from start of the season because this can help them for staying in better spot until end of the season.

You are of course right there especially about the Champions League competition. All the participants who qualify for the group stages are the best teams in Europe from their respective leagues and of course they also hope to impress and win something.

Barcelona need time to win the Champions League title, but maybe Xavi can make it happen if he really has players who can play well every game. Luck also plays an important role in his quest for the title, but team performance is a good yardstick for determining probabilities.

Getting the Champions League title is not as easy as other domestic leagues, the Champions League is a collection of great teams all over Europe so it will not be easy for Barcelona to achieve that dream even though they have brought their team to a great performance.

The Champions League has a different sensation and the mentality of coaches and players is still influential if they do not have deep experience in the UCL, I believe Barcelona this time will be better to go to UCL even though the previous season could only stop at the group stage.

Instead of the Champions League, the Premier League has always provided Manchester City with the opportunity to repeat their achievement to win the title. Since Pep Guardiola became Manchester City's head coach, they had dominated the premier league for so long. They recently succeeded in winning the championship for the first time. They won't be able to repeat it consecutively, in my opinion. Only Real Madrid has been successful in winning the Champions League on multiple occasions. I'm not sure if Manchester City will be able to accomplish their goal of winning the Champions League title by the end of the next season. That's the puzzle we can't tend to solve until the champions league match start

Even everyone is going with his own view and statics, but I have strong feeling this comparison is not fair because Manchester City and Guardiola is having long combination and after spending good funds and having few failures now they are able to have one of the best team which can do much better than expectations but on other hand Arsenal and Arteta are in development phase, and they need some more time for having results like these even after watching first season now I am feeling they could be again team to watch in all competitions but it's never been easy to compete with them right now specially in Champions League where now they can go through again without any problem because right now they are best and having quality players which can give them good result against any team while mostly teams are struggling due to finances.

Please stop there, tell me when was the last time Barcelona didn't qualify for the Champions League?
As far as I know and remember, Barcelona have qualified for the Champions League every season for the last 10 seasons, but they may not have made it to the last 16 last season.

I certainly agree that Xavi wants to bring Barcelona back to the peak of its glory in the Champions League by winning titles. But anyway, it must be difficult even though Barcelona's form so far has been better under Xavi. It doesn't matter how well Barcelona performed last season in La Liga, but the Champions League is very different.

Even here I partially agreed with you but still I have feeling most chances Manchester City is strongest but Bayern Munich after having completion of their transfer with Harry Kane going to be one of the toughest opponent for them because Barcelona is also under development with many other clubs which you already mention, and they can't give challenge to these two teams which are having good solid squads.

But, we have another factor if Real Madrid completed Mbappé deal then it's going to be another contender for the title even it's just personal view but still things can go in this way as well sadly few Italian sides are facing finances issues, but we can expect another good season from them like they have in last season but due to big gape of money things are clearly going for the English clubs to stay at the top.

If we can consider Real Madrid as the favorite to win the Champions League title, why should Barcelona not be the favorite in the Champions League?
Barcelona have a strong squad. Barcelona did very poorly in the Champions League and Europa League last season though. However, they secured the La Liga title. Xavi has been able to stabilize this team. The Barcelona team is now strong enough. Even in friendly matches we have seen better performances from Barcelona than before.
Xavi is adding the necessary players to the squad to strengthen his team. They have added talented and experienced player like Gundogan to strengthen the midfield. All in all I think Barcelona will have no problem qualifying to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola has a great chance of doing that but no this season not this Premier League. I've had predictions of who will and won't but I'm coming to full conclusion that Arsenal, Mikel Arteta and all of his squad whonwnd up winners of this year's Premier League title.
Manchester City has lost two players though they don't seem weak, but that aside Arsenal has made improvements from the Goalie, to defender's, and midfielder's. I do feel like this is the squad to win them the Premier League.

For the Champions League, Manchester City are bluffing, they better knock it off and stop dreaming because they're not gonna win the Champions League. It'll be more complex and competitive and even if I'm to predict a side to win, I'll say Ac Milan should win next season. Not even Real Madrid, they haven't solved the equation of a natural number nine player. Bayern Munich? They'll need to get the signature of Harry Kane done to get the upper hand.

With the depth of the players they have, as well as a very competent coach. Manchester City, remains the favorite in both the Premier League and Champions League. Currently, City is in its heyday after winning the treble winner. therefore, it would be very natural for City to defend the title they won for the 2023/2024 season. are they able, obviously they are able to defend the title they won. the probability of an opportunity to repeat like the 2022/2023 season is wide open for City even though several of their core players have left in this summer's transfer window.

It's just that, on the way we don't know what obstacles they will face. to be sure, some clubs in the premier league will try to become a strong competitor like Arsenal for example. also, in this competition there are some pretty strong competitors who might be able to thwart City's progress to the next phase. uniquely, in football nothing is certain. therefore, anything can happen and several other strong competitors will also try their best to be the best in this competition. Let's see first, how when these teams carry out their matches in their domestic league competition. after all, this competition still has a long way to go.

But I wonder why you still include Barcelona as a candidate team to be able to get the Champions League title next season. Because in reality, in the last two seasons Barcelona has performed very badly in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. So, with Barcelona's very poor performance like that in the last two seasons, I don't think Barcelona can be included or entered to become a candidate team to win the Champions League title next season. Also about Manchester City, basically Manchester City still has a chance. That means, Manchester City is still quite likely to be able to repeat its success even though it won't be easy but still, Manchester City has a chance.

I think Rasmus Højlund brings Ten Hag for the future. I feel like we haven't seen any impressive performances from Rasmus Højlund over the past few seasons. He scored just 9 goals in 32 games in Serie A last season. I can't call it a very good performance. However, Ten Hag bought Rasmus Højlund for 75 million. The season before Manchester City signed Haaland, Haaland scored 22 goals in 24 games with Dortmund. And so I think Rasmus Højlund has been added to the squad by Ten Hag to gradually build up experience. Perhaps coach Ten Hag has long-term plans for Rasmus Højlund.

PSV Eindhoven, Marseille, Galatasaray and Rangers currently is the favourite to advances to group stage but other teams such as Aris Limassol and Dinamo Zagreb possibly will be the dark horse teams because these teams were beat their opponents and qualified with fantastic aggregate especially Dinamo Zagreb that this team were qualified with clean sheet records

For Galatasaray this team last time were playing at champion league on season 2019 and currently they were very close to repeat their achievement and all they have to do is beat their opponent and on the paper Ljubljana is not strong opponent for Galatasaray although their performance still not very satisfied but i am sure this time they can able to beat their opponent even so with PSV Eindhoven that it took 5 years for them to return to champion league so they have same ambition liked Galatasaray to advances to the group stage

Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again. And I would say that Manchester City will remain at the top of the favorites for the Champions League title next season as well. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, United teams can be considered favorites for next season's Champions League. And among all these teams, Manchester City team can be said to be stable.
Bayern Munich are trying their best to strengthen their squad. And they are bringing in Harry Kane to strengthen the attack. Manchester United team is also spending a lot of money to strengthen the team. But whether they will be able to perform consistently in the next season is yet to be said for sure. But winning the Champions League title is not an easy task for any team.

Finally, twenty teams success lead to last UEFA Champion League qualifying round and they will play for first leg on Augustus 9 to 10 and second leg match will play one week later or Augustus 16 to 17. Have twenty teams plays in third round of UEFA Champion League qualifying and each winner automatically will placed on drawing group against teams have been qualify automatically like Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United are Premier League teams participants.

Which one 10 teams will automatically play in UEFA Champion League season 2023/24?

• Copenhagen vs Sparta-prague
• Rakow-czestochowa vs Aris-limassol
• psv-eindhoven vs sturm-graz
• aek-athens vs dinamo-zagreb
• Klaksvik vs Molde
• Ljubljana vs galatasaray
• SC Braga vs TSC Backa-topola
• Panathinaikos vs Marseille
• Slovan Bratislava vs Maccabi haifa
• rangers vs Servette

Yes you are right, the coming season will be a different one for them, if we take a glance then we might say that they will be better. But again and again I must say here, that is not a guarantee that they will be better. I'm sure you'll also understand what I'm saying about this. The first is that the decline in the club's performance cannot be predicted at all. And once again we have to see what happened to Liverpool last season. It's not a benchmark, but we can't rule it out either.

Things that we don't predict beforehand sometimes happen, whatever it is, be it in terms of performance or overall. We can't deny the smallest things that will make them better, or make them worse.



Nowadays we will definitely pay more attention to Mamchester City, because they are a club that is arguably the most consistent in recent seasons. Not only in their local league, but in the Champions League they also showed good progress, and the peak as we saw last season when they won the Champions League.
Next season will also not be much different, they are still a favorite with their defending champion status. It's just that we don't know what other clubs will be like next season, it could be more terrible than them.

I wonder if there is a club that we didn't predict before could become champions. Lol, it looks impossible but that doesn't mean it's impossible. It's just who thinks about this? Maybe there are only one or two people, including me. Lol

I have strong belief in Barca this upcoming season and I know since they didn't qualify for the champions league last season, Xavi will want to use this season to show the world what he gat in UCL. Barca has strong game plan and strong players well prepared for the tournament.

Although the league hasn't started and we can't tell about the performance of any club presently but I strongly believe that there is not for M.city this season. Bayern can do better if they get a good striker to replace Lewandoski because I don't know what is their deal outcome with Harry Kane. Manchester United might still surprise the world too but let's see if it will be  possible for them.

I also think so, Barcelona have found players who are ready to challenge other favorite clubs like Manchester City who successfully won the UCL title last season. Bayern Munich who are in a transitional period with Tuchel will try to show something extraordinary in the UCL this season, they are trying to find a new striker after Mane's departure, Harry Kane is in their hunt.

Arsenal and Manchester United are ready to make a new journey this season, they have made a major overhaul in order to provide competition in this most prestigious championship. Especially for Real Madrid, the club that has won the most UCL trophies, is looking for a new striker after Benzema left for the Arab League. Mbappe, who is often rumored to be most wanted by Real Madrid, has not been inaugurated to date. It seems that Real Madrid needs to find another target to complete their squad to take care of the opportunities that were delayed last season.

I feel like people consider that because every single year people expect some team to do better, and every year City ends up getting the win. Liverpool fought with them for many years and they barely got one win out of it all during pandemic period. This is why I believe that City will win again, no matter who they have playing for them.

I am sure that they could sell all their players, make 1+ billion dollars from roster valuation, and then spend that 1 billion dollars on another roster, and still build a great club without hesitation that could win the title. It's not about who became better and which team may have a chance, City just doesn't give up, they end up getting the title one way or another for sure.
