Topic: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season - page 779. (Read 141787 times)

There is less than one week left for next games to be played. Currently the most complicated groups are Group E and Group F. Actually Celtic are done with not only the Champions League but also the Europa League chance. I mean there is a mathematical chance for the Europa League but it isn't much realistic. When it comes to teams to qualify for next round even Atletico Madrid can find themselves out of top 2.

When it comes to Group F it is much more complicated. Because even the last positioned team can finish the group as the leader. I especially wonder what PSG will do as they can be really unpredictable especially in away games.

On the contrary Newcastle United has the lowest points on there group which brings them down to the button of their group table because they are four teams on each group and in group F is comprises of Borussia Dortmund which is currently leading on there table while the second one PSG which is in the second position on there group and thirdly AC Milan which is also on there third position on the group then there last is Newcastle United.

I'm actually surprised seeing them on the button of there group because they were really doing well this season including all there leagues they were performing so impressive but I don't no why all of a sudden they began to fail in performance. So perhaps even if they win PSG on there meeting they will not still qualify.

This is will be difficult for Newcastle. A must win is not guaranteed for them. Because their opponent wants to win as well, only with those magical moments in football where the unexpected happens is where we can see Newcastle play in the next UCL round. They will be playing PSG in this month while Millan next month. Currently all teams in Group F are looking for a win opportunity and they are ready to anything, even if they have to play aggressively to get that point. If am to conclude ill say there are very few chances for Newcastle in this group, perhaps they should focus more in the premier league so that they can finish in top 5, if they want to play in the UCL next season. Its only but my honest opinion.

I don't know why Benfica this season in the champions league is experiencing a deep slump how not for 4x matches have never won, so their situation in the champions league looks like they are frustrated but strangely in the Portuguese league they are still staying with the top standings, so I was a little surprised why this happened, maybe their mentality is now quite weak.

Maybe now they have to think about preparing for the Europa League, if there is no change at all it means Benfica are going through a bad phase now, but looking at the statistics of the opponents in the Europa League are not so tough when they are in the champions league maybe there is an ease where they will win and continue to several phases.

In general, I'm also surprised that they are in last place, but this is a common situation for underdogs - sometimes they can soar much higher than average, and sometimes they can fall just as much. If they didn’t have such volatility, they would be almost top clubs. However, they still have the opportunity to bypass Salzburg and get into the Europa League.

For group F, the opportunity to see which team will qualify for the knockout round until the sixth match is very wide open, although it will still depend on this fifth match. When PSG can win against Newcastle and Dortmund can beat AC Milan then the sixth match is no longer important other than just to determine who is in first place in the group, but if in the fifth match, the results of both matches are a draw then all teams still have a chance to qualify, but there are other things. is that if PSG wins and AC Milan wins then the sixth match will be more exciting because PSG has the opportunity to be eliminated if they lose to Dortmund because they lose by a point difference to AC Milan, this is really a very tough group compared to other groups where several teams have already managed to advance to the round of 16.

We will see at the beginning of the week how AC Milan plays at home against Borussia Dortmund, because AC Milan needs a win to reach the top. Likewise, Newcastle United must be able to win in order to get a safer position in the Champions League even though the opponent Newcastle United will face is PSG. I want to see the four teams compete until the end because it will be quite interesting for Champions League fans, especially since their points are still close enough so any small change will definitely have a very big effect.

Don't you think the credits you are giving to AC Milan are too much? Maybe you should reduce the tempo a little. The club did well last season which handed them the UCL qualification but do not forget that many clubs here are regular players of the tournament far more than AC Milan itself. Well, it's still kudos for them for the impressive win over PSG even though PSG itself is not a strong club playing UCL right now, if it were to be in another group, the club itself would have been the least in the group. Group F is not so challenging at the moment, there are no tough clubs oppressing much, it is just a bunch of clubs trying to struggle to qualify. Maybe when it gets to the stage of 16, the qualified ones would be able to fit up better since they would by then have a clear hope of what they are playing for, not what I see now.

And in this group, if I am not mistaken, the likes of Newcastle and AC Milan will excuse the league earlier over time, I don't believe they have all it takes to proceed further to the last 16. Whereas, when Dortmund and AC Milan meet, it's highly possible that Dortmund would win as it seems they are more determined than before in this league. The two met once last month with no goal recorded on either side, this will change this time and I hope Dortmund win indeed.

If Milan would not lose as the host team, the game will end in a draw or a win for the team. Borussia Dortmund is hardly a weak team that Milan will be confident of defeating. If they need three points to boost their chances of winning, they must be particularly prepared to face a strong team like Borussia Dortmund, which has been performing exceptionally well in the Champions League competition. Playing at home does not guarantee that they will win the match against Borussia Dortmund; it will just offer them additional confidence and applause from fans. They must demonstrate their skills in order to advance to the next stage of the competition.


Being good as a team and winning trophies is dependent not only on the number of good players in your squad, but also on how the manager manages and coordinates these players in every match so that they always win. PSG acquired one of the top quality players at the time, but despite using them in all competitions, they were eliminated from the Champions League. PSG are still OK in my opinion; they simply need stronger management, which I am confident their new coach, Luis Enrique, will be able to provide as the club's new manager.

It is clear that in group C Real Madrid looks strong by leading with 12 points and far from its competitors and it is clear that no one can beat Real Madrid in this group, their strong rivals Napoli are unable to beat Real Madrid. I am sure that in their next meeting they will be at won by Real Madrid again.

Group F does look more interesting compared to the other groups because all the teams can still fight hard to qualify for the round of sixteen, PSG and Dortmund look more formidable with their current positions in 1st and 2nd place, but we will see in the last match Later what will determine is whether the two clubs will not change their position which will bring these two teams through the group phase.

For Dortmund, in the recent Champions League games, they've proven themselves to possess an upper hand against their next rival in the competition, they've scored more goals and have had more wins in the group stages, for Milan yes they started the season fine but their Champions League journey has been lagging due to slow movements in the outcome of their games, Dortmund is very much likely to make the game a tough one for Ac Milan whilst looking that home advantage will help Milan gain more better grounds in the game.

 Milan's coach should on his part prepare to be more technical in his team building and management because beyond every doubt, Dortmund will be very much eager to secure 3 points in the game as it'll help them advance smoothly to the next stage of the competition, the game will be very much tough for both sides as they both will put out their best performances to avoid point sharing. Let's watch out for the outcome.

Newcastle does have the lowest points compared to the other teams in Group F, but I think they still have a chance to qualify for the next round. In the match against PSG, they will indeed play as guests and maybe this will be a tough fight for them considering that so many players are injured but if we look at the results of their first meeting, I think Newcastle still has a chance to win this match.

I predict Napoli progress will only reach the round of 16, for me Inter Milan has a bigger chance than Napoli. Winning the Scudetto last season for them was phenomenal, but having too high expectations for them was a mistake, because the UCL is not enough with the Osimhen factor alone. In fact, I think Napoli are lucky at the moment because they are in group C, you can imagine if they were in group F, maybe their situation would be worse than Milan there.

Most of us certainly agree that Madrid and Bayern are the more favorite clubs here, and in fact I think several other clubs also deserve to be on the list. Personally, I certainly won't underestimate Napoli, but I'm just trying to think realistically about them.

Yes, all the teams have the chance to win but it seems Newcastle to have very small chance. Newcastle must win all the remaining matches to have a good chance to qualify for the next round. Sadly, there are too many injured players on Newcastle squad, so it is a big obstacle that makes them probably difficult to give their best performance. The upcoming matches surely will be the crucial matches, which teams to win the matches will have bigger chance to qualify for the next round. Since PSG and AC Milan will play at home, I can agree that they are the favorite to win the matches. If both of them win the upcoming matches, no doubt PSG and AC Milan probably qualify for the knock-out round.

So long as champions league is concerned Napoli has no capacity or performance that could push them into wining champions league when there are so many good clubs that are targeting the league and besides if I'm not mistaken checking closely on Napoli statistics on champions league they have not won any champions league let alone get to the finals of the league. I'm not disputing the fact that Napoli is not a strong team because i no that they have been performing really well since last season but wining the champions League is beyond there reach so they should focus all there energy and performance on other league instead of champions league.

Perhaps if we talk about the clubs that are known for champions league wining are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City because those are the clubs I found worthy based on there performance to win the champions league.

Napoli become really different after Spalletti left and Osimhen is injured, they're going back become a mediocre club. Napoli is nothing more than a lucky club where they can perform really good only for one season.

While Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, both of them always consistent and able to enter quarter finals regardless the result is.

Group C is definitely the group of Real Madrid. We all know how good they are while playing in the Champions League competition. So there is no doubt about that.

Group F is definitely a lot more interesting. Because all the teams in this group are capable of qualifying. And also the point difference between all the teams is almost non-existent. Obviously, this is the most interesting group of all the groups there are. And the competition is going to stay hard till the end of the group stage in this group.

I never thought that Napoli were favorites for the Champions League. This team played very well last season, and this season their performance is not weak. Still, a stronger squad is needed if they want to win the Champions League title. They lost against Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage match. Napoli shared the points in the home match against Union Berlin. If they perform like this, they will not be able to qualify even for the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, for the Champions League, I consider Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid to be the favorites this season. Compared to these teams, Napoli is far behind.

If carefully analyzed, it's very obvious that Borussia Dortmund has been a better team than their next opponents in the UEFA Champions League competition AC Milan. The Italian club started the season on a better note than Borussia Dortmund but currently, the German side is better in terms of the number of points gotten in champions league.

 Borussia Dortmund travel to San Siro next weekend knowing fully well that a win in that game against AC Milan would definitely book a place for them in the knockout stages of the competition while AC Milan who are currently third in the group F with just five points knows any any result apart from a win automatically means that their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages will not be in their hands again. It's certainly gonna be a very strong game for the two teams but considering the fact that Milan will be playing at home, I expect them to win the game

Napoli needs to beat real madrid away. This will give us a small insight if this club has small capability to win UCL this season. Napoli is always losing against real madrid and how can napoli win UCL? it has not yet faced another strong club like bayern which is far stronger compared with real madrid at this moment. Napoli has only pretty small chance to go to the quarter final as well. The club is not performing so good this season. Napoli may go back again to the serie a soon. Napoli can do nothing without the help from spalleti.
Even osimhen which has amazing performance has been turning to be a flop this season, kvarat is also performing so badly. Irrelevant to talk how big chances owned by napoli to win the trophy and it must be zero chance.
Im also feeling doubt if napoli can qualify for UCL again next season. Everything is still possible to happen.
