Copenhagen finished second behind Bayern Munich in a group that included Manchester United and Galatasaray. I thought they were lucky when they got good results against Galatasaray and Manchester United, but they won my respect when they got a similar result against Bayern Munich. They don't have much chance against Manchester City but I know they won't be an easy opponent for Manchester City.

By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. Apso more than 70% of bettors would choose City over Copenhagen, in both home and away matches.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

Copenhagen have managed to become runners up in group A which I thought from the start it would not be possible for them to qualify from this group, but the fact is that they showed a good performance compared to Galatasaray and Manchester United, it was a surprise for me who underestimated Copenhagen because they played with a good structure so that it can balance the games of Manchester United and Galatasaray including Munich. I misjudged them.

Unfortunately, they have to meet Manchester City in the round of 16 when Manchester City's key players are starting to recover from injuries, including KDB. I think maybe they will have difficulty facing Manchester City later, but Copenhagen doesn't seem like they will give up so easily, they will definitely make things difficult. Manchester City and playing optimally, I am interested in seeing the meeting between the two later and betting. 

In my opinion, this is the end of Copenhagen's struggle, they have fought hard to get into the last 16 and now they have to face the defending champion Man City in the last 16 and of course Man City will not let defeat come to them, Man City wants to continue their performance They are as good as last season and reached the final and can win the UCL title again.
Actually I am concerned about Copenhagen, this team struggled hard in the UCL group phase to qualify with Munich and they managed to beat Man Utd and also Galatasaray, in my opinion their achievements so far have been quite good even though they had to be eliminated by Man City in the round of 16.

Yeah, in this season, things are looking nor promising as they have trademark in UEFA even they are doing impressive work and having good results in Bundesliga and Champions League but still it's looking they are going to have another bad end of season in Champions League even this all is too early but as things are going most chances they can go until last four after this nothing is sure about them.

In last few group stage games, they were badly struggling and have not enough performance which was needed even at home against Copenhagen they were badly struggling and not able to score any goal which was miserable with win against Manchester United was also not impressive Lazio is surely not team which can beat them, but after this round difficulties are still waiting for them to compete with top teams which are having better depth and quality.

Copenhagen's season has been a fantasy. Their performance has improved, but Manchester City is a significant test. Copenhagen must overcome City's full strength revival with their finest players. Football surprises, but their chances of an upset are minimal. Im curious to see if Copenhagen can deceive or if City will win. Whatever happens, it will be an exciting battle, and Im curious.

Now we have too many factors which are involved to win trophies in UEFA with only money is not guaranteed to do things to win as mentioned these clubs are having enough quality which came after spending money and time which bring them to the top and many others which are just spending money are not able to give results like they have so winning trophy need strategy and better team with good time as well which make things perfect.

Even these three are hot favorite but still we all know UEFA Champions League mean surprises and shocking results who are going to complete double still it's not easy for any team as we have another surprising candidate Inter Milan which can do anything for having another final like they have done in last season now we have one month after these things will be clear who is going to be more improved with current transfer window can also create changes.

I agree with you about Bayern Munich, yes they are indeed one of the other favorites, but in terms of the game they still have to improve their performance a lot. They still make small mistakes that can be exploited by their opponents. Keep in mind also that their potential opponents for the title are the best club clubs, including the status of defending champions here, not to mention when talking about Real Madrid, they are a club that has a very big winning mentality here.
I will not deny that they have a good game too, but in my opinion it is still not enough to make them more promising than other clubs who also play well. They are also always the favorites here, but in the last few seasons they also had to be eliminated early and bury their dreams of becoming champions, so they still have to evaluate themselves to be more promising in the Champions League this season.

Copenhagen progress in the Champions League this season must be given a thumbs up, their success in getting to the round of 16 means they are often referred to as the Underdog team. It looks like his presence in the UCL will only last until the round of 16 because it will be difficult to overcome the challenges he will face.

Manchester City as the defending champion team in this competition, has also improved its performance after slumping in the EPL. De Bruyne presence will further add to the strength of the club led by Pep Guardiola. It is very difficult for Copenhagen to beat Manchester City in two legs, the different qualities of the teams make it a bigger opportunity for Manchester City, who is still the top team in the UCL this season.

That's right, if Arsenal players can avoid injuries, they have a big chance of beating Porto and reaching the quarter finals. Currently Arsenal is unstable in the EPL, only able to achieve one win in the last five matches, balancing performance in two competitions is a very difficult effort. I hope Arteta can bring in a quality striker, to increase his chances of winning trophies this season. I think to reach the quarter finals Arsenal can do it, but to advance to the semifinals they need a good front line, Jesus, Nketiah, Havertz don't feel like they are enough to make a difference.

Rotating players to minimize injuries is already in Arteta calculations, the best formation only needs to be maximized when facing tough opponents, for now Arteta needs to do this in the EPL, because the UCL will return in mid-February. There is still an opportunity to evaluate the shortcomings, because Arteta can look for solutions in the transfer window for now. Arsenal squad depth this season is better than last season, but I feel they need a better striker.

Arteta efforts to achieve success in his fourth year at the Emirates are showing serious signs, I base this opinion by looking at their transfer market movements last summer. As far as I remember, Arsenal last advanced to the final in 2006, where they faced Barcelona at that time. This season, with the resources and attributes they have, I think the Gunners can talk a lot, but the existence of Madrid, Bayern and City as favorite teams makes it difficult for Arsenal to realize their dreams.

So far I haven't watched a very effective performance by Bayern Munich despite their being shown as one of top 3 favourites for the Champions League title. I mean they indeed collected nearly maximum points in the group stage. But this shouldn't really mislead any person who hasn't watched their performance in group games.

There are quite many games in which they struggled a lot for quite a while but won anyway thanks to their quality. Of course it is important for a big team to be able to win even when they are having difficulties. But from now on they had better start playing effectively. Maybe they would eliminate Lazio comfortably but one of top title contenders can make them have huge difficulties. 

Not expelled, but more precisely those who have fallen because they were unable to win with the expected expectations so they fell automatically before heading to the round of 16. Now the three big teams you mentioned are still very seriously thinking about two big trophies for this season, namely the trophy in their own domestic league and also the trophy in this season's Champions League because all three of them both have the ability to achieve this and will result in even more competition. exciting when they start to meet in the next round or in the round that will come after this round of 16.

It's easy to know, if Copenhagen can enter the next round, it means the match is already fixed. If Copenhagen stop on the quarter final, it means the match is legitimate.

Since I believe there's no fixed match in Champions League since every teams want to get a trophy, you already know my answer.

Arsenal has fallen because Bukayo Saka and Odegaard can't contribute like they used to be, rest of the players can't score a goal.

All teams certainly want maximum results in the bigger round of the Champions League and they are also starting to improve their performance to the addition of players this January. The Champions League is very different from the domestic league because every year there is always a new team or even a regular team that is a champion candidate which is always an enemy that is difficult to beat. So anyone who hopes to win against strong teams in this competition will of course try their best so that the results obtained are commensurate.

However, if they cannot achieve this, I think they should not be sad and continue to make improvements every season and we definitely want to see the revival of mediocre teams and not always be dominated by elite teams with top squads. Consistency in the domestic league can usually be a good reflection for the Champions League competition and they can do that as long as there is the will. Arsenal and Porto are not in much different situations, but Arsenal are in doubt when the results they have achieved so far have been quite disappointing in the domestic league.

Controlling the ball for too long is indeed a problem for a team because the opposing club will be very quick to understand and guess where the ball is going and it will definitely end in a bad way and who knows what the Arsenal players were thinking who were supposed to play fast but became very slow and very easy to beat. guess.
But that's not the only bad thing about Arsenal because they lack reliable players and several players are injured as you know and what I always pay attention to is that the defense line is always careless and can always provide space for their opponents.
If this is not fixed immediately, it will definitely be very difficult for Arsenal to continue trying in the CL to become a strong challenger when the match starts. Arsenal will have to face Porto, which is known for its fairly strong attack line.
Even though Porto is not a very strong club, if Arsenal performs in this way it will definitely be very difficult to play against Porto and I am a little doubtful whether Arsenal will qualify for the next round if their performance is as bad as this.

The reason why Arsenal has fallen during Christmas was because they have been maintaining the same pattern of play for a long time which made them very predictable. Now the coach would have a different pattern to execute in the field but there are no subsequent players to use in playing them. Most of their players are on injuries. I could remember Timber, Partey, Tomiyasu, Viera and some other players were on injury quite some period. Although i heard rumours that most of them are back and are ready to play in the competitions.

They defended very well and the strategy of going for a defensive scheme against a club that was above them in terms of level let them know that they still had the fighting spirit even if it was only for a draw.

But indeed this will not be able to come true easily because in any case at this time seeing from the existing reality that Manchester City is very superior in any case.
Their dominance is very beaar, besides the effectiveness of Manchester City's attacks is also unquestionable so this will only make Copenhagen confused.
Currently i only expect Copengagen to play well but indeed we cannot expect much about this because after all it is difficult indeed for Copenhagen to find a good possibility in the match in 16 besae this time.
The match is still long enough to happen and Copenhagen can still prepare themselves. 

They will definitely be a priority between the domestic league and the Champions League being the same priority, especially Arsenal are currently also in a bad situation in the Premier League because they have had bad results in the last few matches, they are now in 4th place in the standings and they definitely don't want to be knocked out of the top 4 at least.
In the Champions League itself the pressure will be even greater, especially after entering the knock out round. Every match becomes very important, because once they make a mistake, then the penalty is eliminated from the competition and must forget the dream of winning the Champions League.

Manchester City will get back to their form any moment from now because all their key players are back to play and Copenhagen are not strong when compared to Manchester City performance, so you see that the match will be tough and Manchester City will be a challenge for Copenhagen. I believe they will find it difficult to make it in this match, although I cannot guarantee a Manchester City win but will the look of things and since their players are back they will do more than they have been doing in the absence of those players I hope Copenhagen will try their best to see them atleast make something positive in the match.

Arsenal has been losing its self confidence due to the some bad results received by the club in the last matches. Arsenal tries to perform better than before but it was always failed caused by club has no good striker who can convert everything to the goals.
Some names linked to the arsenal but im not really sure if these names will be strong candidate to be bought by arteta. Porto was a strong club even though it was coming from a non popular league like EPL.
The only key to beat arsenal was using the defensive line strategy, which is making arsenal's defensive line panic and a direct counter can help porto to destroy arsenal soon. People shall never underestimate porto. This club has UCL while arsenal has zero trophy in european competitions.
Arsenal and porto will be doing so many preparations to make sure their clubs will be winning the first leg. It can help club to get more advantage during the second leg. Im feeling so bad for the current performance of arsenal.
The club likes to lose its identity compared the last season. Im sure that gunner fans will be booed their favorite club if they will be losing against porto at the first leg. Porto needs only to do parking bus,.
