After the win against League 1 Defending Champions ( PSG ) they snoozed on both games against Borrussia Dortmund and failed to get a single point. Most disappointing was seeing them losing at home amongst these two games. That lose sent em down the standing in the group of hell.( F )

In my own opinion, I'll say they have no chance of qualification, they had their chances and couldn't grab it, I'd blame it on injuries and the pressure that comes with the Champions League Competition. Eddi Howe didn't handle things well.

Luis Enrique has the experience, he did with Barcelona ( Though this ain't Barcelona ) I believe he won't want to snooze. The Champions League is the main reason why he was signed, failure to go pass this stage will be crrazzy!

When Newcals trampled PSG in the Champions League, they also looked great, then they were unlucky to a certain extent and are now in last place in the group. Now their chances of qualifying look like this:

Yes 3.20 No 1.30

And here it’s hard to disagree with the bookmakers, since in order to definitely get into the 1/8 they need to either win the two remaining games or gain 4 points and hope that the results of other games will be favorable for Newcastle.

Lens continue to get good results in the domestic league and slowly they have found the form they had lost. I'm curious about Lens' final fate in the Champions League group stage considering they are currently in 3rd place in Group B and have the same points as PSV. However, in the next match, Lens have to face a strong team from England, namely Arsenal, and I think if they can hold off Arsenal's draw then they can at least add 1 point and in the final match against Sevilla they can finish their struggle by collecting 9 points. However, that can also go smoothly if PSV loses against Sevilla because it is quite impossible that PSV will lose points against Sevilla later. I'm really curious what will happen between Lens and PSV considering that both of them are likely to accompany Arsenal to qualify for the round of 16.

Newcastle's win over Chelsea was amazing. They've been inconsistent, but this game showed their potential. I'm doubtful about their Champions League chances. They're financially supported, but money isn't everything. They face far more experienced teams. UCL performance is different from Premier League performance

To compete with Europe's great guns, they need a major strategy change. Though impressive domestically, Newcastle lacks the consistency and tactical sophistication needed for Champions League. I'm curious how they'll adjust their strategy for UCL's greater hurdles. Finding the correct balance between financial power and team development for high-pressure European nights is key

Things were actually going well for Chelsea. They couldn't understand how it suddenly changed. When they conceded 2 goals in 2 minutes, the entire team was disrupted and they were helpless against Newcastle. After receiving a red card, they fell out of the game and conceded the fourth goal. Chelsea is a team full of big surprises. You never know what they will do.

For the Galatasaray v Manchester United match on Wednesday I can comfortably say that it will be the decider on which side will make it to last 16 stage.

Let's say Galatasaray managed to win just as they did in Old Trafford. And at the same time Copenhagen lost to Bayern Munich in Germany. In that case Galatasaray would nearly guarantee qualifying from the group mathematically. Their last match is even against Copenhagen. Only one point would be enough for them there. But let's see first if Galatasaray will be able to become the winner again in the upcoming matchup. 

Yes this will be a very important match for both Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord. The result of the match will be very stopping for them, although there is still 1 more match after this match. But for Atletico Madrid, if they want to be comfortable and ensure they will be in the last 16, they must be able to win in this match. A draw is not enough, because in the last match they have to keep working hard to secure 1 ticket. Especially in the last match Atletico Madrid will face Lazio, it will be a difficult match for them. While Feyenoord will face Celtic.

Newcastle in today’s match played very well and managed to beat Chelsea 4-1, felt like an easy way and they might now hope to win the next upcoming match in UCL, the only issue they had this edition is a matter of luck on the group they are playing against now is full of good teams in UCL pot.
Newcastle, In my opinion they should focus a bit on champions league and do better performance to compete against strong teams.
Champions league been always another story even for big players and teams in general, it’s a whole different competition which lead to unexpected performance from the teams.

They was already losing three goals to one ( 3--1 ) before the red card, don't bring the red card as excuse for the lose. That game was spoiled by the coach. It was a very physical game. Bruno Guimaries and Joelinton bullied most of the Chelsea midfielder's and they gave no room for creativity to Cole Palmer. That back pass shouldn't have gone to Thiago Silva, it should have been for the number one to calm down the pressure. I go online and see so much blames and insults towards Thiago Silva. Anyways, he should have done better under pressure with his experience.

Now I'm lost, I don't know what to predict in that group no more. Every team in that group won them various league games. It's gone be another thrilling midweek with the Champions League Football

Bayern Munich are the type of team that will always collect every point deem fit to be collected even if they have qualified for the next round of the competition. Copenhagen is a fighter but in this match they have no chance to win the game. Football is a very unpredictable game and anything can happen in this match but we can’t give them the full hope of winning this game because Bayern Munich is a stronger and better team than Copenhagen who are still amateurs in this competition without much experience about the game as Bayern Munich. This is not a much anticipated game as that of Manchester United versus Galatasaray which is very hard to decide the winner in that game.

Newcastle have just been inconsistent in the recent times. Otherwise they have been doing quite an impressive work for 2 seasons despite not having a squad filled with world star players. I mean they are very rich now. They are one of the richest teams in Europe you know. But despite finishing the Premier League in top 4 previously they are still unable to bring much bigger players to the team.

The work they have done in the Champions League so far isn't that bad either. I didn't like their performance only against Dortmund. If they were more stable with their effort then maybe they would have collected more points there.

Complicated to predicts the club's that will make it out and the ones that won't in group F. Injury players have return and the squad is now complete, time for Eddie Howe to use his initiatives in a complex direction. Eddie Howe and his firing squad will be present in Parc des Princes stadium next week, and I believe the Magpies will be ready to face the Ligue One giants again. Paris Saint-Germain tend to become more weaker and inferior in UEFA Champions League matches this season, watched highlights of their previous UCL matches, one will noticed that there's absolutely evidence of struggles throughout.

Yes, Newcastle has the money, at least to a reasonable extent that they can buy players, yet you can't blame them for trying to pocket most of it, as winning is important, making money and conserving as much as possible is also important, just like how Dortmund does. The side effect of this is at times when the trusted players don't live up to the expectations, there are times they will perform beyond expectations too. So, I don't blame clubs anymore for not buying big names, you can use the cases of Man U and Chelsea to judge why, at times it's not the star of the player but the quality and how the player is determined to deliver. Besides, I've always known that Newcastle can not deliver when it comes to UCL and I didn't expect them to displace Dortmund in UCL who has the experience of the tournament more than them.

This is not the entire yardstick to judge, regardless, the Newcastle of last season is not the same as this season, even before the last season ended their feats have been dwindling if you noticed. They were however impressive yesterday, I never knew they could beat Chelsea powerlessly like that. Most importantly, Chelsea doesn't have any excuses as the game was balanced with 1-1 in the first half but Newcastle was obviously better in the second half and only scored one goal more after Chelsea's red card, so no excuse for the blues. But still, this can't tell of what happens in the UCL, I don't think Newcastle can go farther than they are, and I expect AC Milan to still beat them overall when they meet.

Many people are disappointing the performance from chelsea. The gameplay becomes worst when it was entering the second half. The blunder from thiago silave was making everything become the worst. Shall pochettino try to replace silva at this moment?
Pochettino shall do that caused by silva is old enough right now. Losing huge margins against newcastle is very bad. People are now starting to assume chelsea was lucky enough against manchester city.
This is the worst game i have ever seen since the starting of season. This one is even worst compared when chelsea being destroyed by westham at the early season.
Pochettino needs to do some changes or chelsea will stay at the same place till the end of season. the blues potentially to go down again after it was able maintaining its position.
