Due to injury, Barcelona struggled in the Champions League last season. The team's leader, Xavi, had to solve this issue. The team won the title when the players improved and returned to La Liga. But the inconsistent defensive methods, such as employing Alonso as a left back, posed major problems.

Xavi must apply his domestic league teachings to the Champions League. In La Liga, Busquets and De Jong functioned well as a center, suggesting they may do the same in the Champions League. The summer transfer window brought in new players to strengthen the club and possibly aid Barcelona in the Champions League. With all these factors in mind, it's hard to determine when Barcelona will challenge for the crown. That appears to be in doubt.

Their first meeting ended in a draw, and Zalgiris managed to score two goals, which shows that Galatasaray has problems. I also think that they should have no problems at home today, but judging by the first match it could be any result. If Zalgiris can score again, the hosts will have to attack more to score and give opportunities for counterattacks.

I believe we should consider more than just how they performed in the previous season when assessing how they will perform in the upcoming one. Barcelona's performance in the Champions League last season was not great, but I don't think it was so poor that they shouldn't be considered one of the favorites to win it the next season . Personally, I think Barcelona will give it their all in the Champions League the next season.

Barcelona won La Liga last season, but I don't think it was luck; I think it was their hard work because they snatched 10 points away from Real Madrid in second place, and once again, these aren't the only two clubs vying for the league. Therefore, I don't think it is enough to persuade me considering that Real Madrid's focus was on the Champions League. Teams' success in the Champions League does not imply that they neglected their domestic league if they perform poorly there.


I think Xavi ought to have learned from his errors from last season, and I'd venture to suggest that Barcelona will do better in the Champions League the next season because their team is not particularly weak. However, let's wait and watch what happens if the upcoming Champions League begins.


In a team, backup is undoubtedly crucial. Teams who wish to win trophies must always consider having a strong replacement for each of their players, as this has a significant impact on how well the team performs.Because they have backup players for each of their players, Manchester City consistently outperforms other teams in various competitions, which is why we hardly ever observe the team lose form like other teams.

I don't see Barcelona winning the Champions League because the rating of their performance last season is very low. Even winning La Liga is luck to me because Real Madrid's attention was all on the Champions League and to some extent Madrid is also not serious, they played well during the first League against Manchester City and second leg i wonder what happened and they were clear beating by the city to qualify for the finals, I believe Barcelona should stick to La Liga since the Champions League is truly very competitive if you are not prepared, be prepared to dance to your own song outside of the league.





Some clubs need to start having serious back up against injuries, relying on a specific player on a specific position can be dangerous, Real Madrid suffered the same thing when Benzema went on injury, Alonso case the player needs to understand field communications to make team work more effective, Barcelona actually had some defaults last season, which is why I stated that winning even La Liga was pure luck. Personally, I don't see Barcelona winning the Champions League either; Inter Milan performed significantly better and may potentially have a chance this time.

Personally, I don't think Galatasaray will have any problem winning against FK Zalgirls. Galatasaray is a much stronger team than Zalgirls. But even then they could not defeat the Zalgirls team in the first match. Galatasaray's performance was also not good in this match. At the same time, I will say that Galatasaray were a bit unlucky in this match. Zalgrils equalized the match after 90 minutes. However, the next match is Galatasaray's home match. I don't think Galatasaray's players will make any mistakes in the home match. Galatasaray is an experienced team. The team will try their best to qualify for the Champions League.

UEFA Champion League qualifying have been third round, one step closer for several teams will participate in Champion League season 2023/24, there are have twenty teams participant in third or last qualifying round and ten teams winner will automatically get place at Champion League group stage next season. There are have six matches for second UEFA Champion League qualifier round for second leg and I am interested with match Galatasaray vs Zalgiris, first leg both teams get draw 2-2 and second leg will be final match for both teams if want qualify to third round and have chance for participating in UEFA Champion League next season.

Get draw first leg of second round UEFA Champion League qualifying, both teams have the same chance lead to last round of qualifying but Galatsaray as host have advantage playing in front of their fans give motivate for winning match.

lets take something simple from this case. like Real Madrid have that finance. fine while Barcelona has a little bad finances and this problem prevents Barcelona from recruiting more qualified and talented players to always perform well in the UCL. and from the lineup Real Madrid still has the top players and has talented young players and all of them are mixed into one squad to strengthen on every front, while Barcelona are only senior players and the rest are free players. then Xavi and Ancelotti are both very different in terms of experience and for me experience is not everything that matters the teamwork and coaches are strong to try together to achieve what they want and Barcelona is more focused on La Liga competition and Real Madrid is more focused on the champions league.
I hereby conclude that these two teams have the same dream of winning the Champions League title, its just that their current conditions are very different and what is most visible is that the finances of the two teams are different.

Panathinaikos, Olimpija Ljubljana, Aris Limassol and Slovan Bratislava has successfully to secured a spot in the 3rd qualifying round that these teams has been qualified because they can able to beat their opponents and Olimpija Ljubljana has been make epic comeback because after playing draw in the first leg they were successfully to beat Ludogorets 2-1 that Timi Max Elšnik has became an Olimpija Ljubljana hero because he was scores 2 goals and bringing Olimpija Ljubljana to win the match but on the other hand fantastic performance was showed by Aris Limassol that after they can able to win with huge scores 6-2 in the first leg today they also were successfully to beat BATE fc with scores 5-3 and total 11-5 aggregate which make Aris Limassol the most productive team during qualification matches

With his first season in Manchester City, Haaland won three titles including two big ones, Premier League and Champions League. He also won a personal award as a best scorer in the league and more impressively he broke the all time record for best scorer many years ago. To sum up, Haaland actually achieved some big things after leaving Dortmund and he is young, professional and ambitious enough to improve himself in future.

The success of Haaland makes some other star players like Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe lost their patience with their clubs and want to move to bigger clubs. With Kane, he wants to join Bayern Munich and with Mbappe he wants to participate in Real Madrid. Mbappe has more drama than Kane but I believe both star players will have new clubs to play in September.

Barcelona are not competitive enough in Champions League and Xavi is not experienced enough as a coach for tough tournaments like Champions League. They must improve together to play better in Champions League. It is irrelevant to compare Xavi and Ancelotti at coach positions as well as compare Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of their ability to compete in Champions League. Ancelotti and Real Madrid are more experienced and successful than Barcelona and recent years, they have been stronger and playing better there too.

Today in UEFA Champions League BATE vs Aris Limassol match between two teams, Aris Limassol won the match by scoring 5 goals. The performance of both teams was very good in the first half of the game. BATE scored 3 goals in this match. The goalkeeper of BATE team performed very poorly.  In the match I thought it would be a draw. I thought it was a hard fight between the two teams. The first goal was scored by S. Babicka in the first 8 minutes of the game. And the 2nd goal was scored by Y. Gomis in the 26th minute. Both teams played very well.

I hope that next season there will be fierce competition for the EPL top scorer position, of course Halaand can easily be on the list. However, the movement in the transfer market for EPL clubs this summer has brought in several other talented strikers. Last season on the UCL stage Halaand also won the top scorer title, with competition getting tougher every season this will be even more interesting.

My prediction is that if Mbappe officially joins Madrid, this nomination will be even fiercer and will create new competition between Mbappe and Halaand. Reminds us of Messi and Ronaldo in the last decade.

In his first season with Manchester City, Erling Haaland won the UEFA Champions League. He's unpredictable and possesses the fundamental characteristics of a striker; all Pep Guardiola needs to do is devise fresh techniques to deploy against opponents. Erling Haaland is an outstanding objective goal machine for Manchester City, and his signing was primarily due to his confidence and outstanding positioning in front of goal. He scored a solid number at Etihad Stadium, and he hopes to score more; there is virtually no limit to what he can accomplish in his new squad.

Xavi made a great team in this season for Barcelona and when they were in a bad situation he survived whole the team while other teams like Real Madrid were in better situations and they could even hire better players and they even had a coach with the better situation and more experience like Anceloti, but still Barcelona win the last La Liga title.
I think if Xavi continue this magic for the next season they can even have the chance to even win the champions league title.

I see and understand your logic there. But I think it would work more in the premier league. Haaland might just continue to score more goals for Manchester City. Defenders would be automatically drawn to seriously mark him as he’s an obvious threat and capable of scoring goals. Well, so are almost if not all the players in the first squad of Manchester City.
 
Everyone is a threat and capable of scoring goals but perhaps some could be considered more of a threat than others. Manchester City is that good. They don’t actually need to rely on Haaland to score goals.
A coach of any club playing a match with Manchester City should know that while Haaland is the striker, center back players also scores goals as well.

Interesting theory (I don't believe in it) but with City having at least a couple of very weak teams in the group stage, Haaland could try to score a record number of Champions League goals. The bar set by Ronaldo is very high, but so is City's degree of dominance. Therefore, if he manages to make a hat-trick a couple of times in the group stage, then everything is possible.

Not the hell group for Barcelona in the previous season in the Champions League, but indeed their strength is not too strong when they have to face other teams. Barcelona was very difficult to win matches in the champions league last season because they were not consistent in the matches they played. However, this season Barcelona will try their best after the player's confidence begins to rise after winning the Laliga trophy.

For Xavi, he really wants to bring Barcelona to go far in the Champions League so he needs better performance from his players when playing in Champions League matches. I'm sure Gundogan presence will be a source of strength for them next season because Gundogan can provide his best experience to help Barcelona beat their opponents next season.

Barca will only impress their fans with good results, not for them to win the champions league. That's far from them. When we talk about the clubs that are likely to be champions of the UCL, we will be looking at clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Inter, and some other clubs before the possibility of Barca lifting the UCL will come to people's minds.
It is either Barca has a more improved performance this season or has a bad one. Their last year's performance won't be the same as this year's because changes have been made in their team. They signed a new player(Gundogan) and sold or loan out old players.
I expect  Barca to have a memorable season this season, let them lift the Laliga trophy at a stretch

I also noticed that condition with Barcelona in the Champions League last season, but one of the other factors that made them fail was that Barcelona joined the group of hell last season. Regarding the Champions League next season, of course Barcelona has a higher chance of qualifying for the round of 16 (at least), but it still depends on who will be their opponent in the group stage. If Barcelona are going to be in the group of hell again, I think it's difficult to see them qualify for the higher stages.

About Barcelona, ​​I know they have changed. Xavi is responsible for improving the quality of Barcelona in the last 2 seasons, but I agree that Xavi has not been able to convince many of his fans about the Champions League at the moment. Dembele will join PSG and a verbal agreement has been reached, it will cost Barcelona their firepower next season.

Erling Haaland is constantly hungry for goals, and I have no doubt that he will continue to score even if he is well defended.  Remember, Pep Guardiola is still their coach, and he always has a way to modify tactics and plan throughout a game in order to help the team win. Erling Haaland will still compete for a spot among the top scorers in the Premier League next season.


He has already shown a few improvements in the team, so why not consider him a contender for the title in the coming season? I understand that winning the Champions League is difficult due to the large number of great clubs that must be defeated. I don't think any team is better than the others right now, but we'll have to wait for the league to start before we can speculate.

I wouldn't say Barcelona are one of the favorites in the Champions League, but I think Xavi has built his squad with a good mentality and is ready to compete with any team. Indeed, they do not have expensive squad depth compared to several other Premier League teams, but Barcelona's performance and play can be expected to be a threat to anyone.

Xavi failed to guide Barcelona through to the last 16 last season, so that will really motivate him to do his best next season. The most realistic target for Barcelona is to qualify for the round of 16, but for the higher stages it depends on the form of the team and who they are up against.
