Newcastle lost both games against Dortmund but the problem was at their home game where a super heavy rain impacted their performance,and even so they had more than 8-9 clamorous chances to score which they missed and I made a comparison at that time by saying if you wanna see bad luck in person it was the second half of that game for Newcastle.

At Dortmund was another story they did not show anything and they deserve to lose that game,now they will be having a super hard time even to get the third place let alone qualifying.

I agree with you that Newcastle United lost three points against Borussia Dortmund both home and away, that is because Newcastle United players lack Uefa Champions League experience. Even though Ac Milan is not in form in the Italy Serie a and dropped points in their last league game, they can still win their match against Borussia Dortmund because the Uefa Champions League has a different spirit of play, and Ac Milan can use home advantage to beat Borussia Dortmund.

And on the other hand, PSG was challenged by Newcastle to show retaliation if they really wanted to qualify. Newcastle cannot be underestimated, they are a club that has big ambitions in the UCL, at least winning in the 1st leg provides motivation to repeat the same thing. Enrique needs to be careful in implementing attack strategies because Dembele and Mbappe positions are often out of sync in the opponent's defense. The opportunities that Newcastle often get are counter attacks when PSG players focus on attacking and forget about the wide open back defense.

Ten Hag must evaluate himself more, especially from the standards he implemented at Manchester United. The players don't seem to be showing free play, if you look at the stiffness of the attack line and midfield, this indicates that Ten Hag is carrying an excessive load. Ten Hag strategy also saw that every match Manchester United players had their backs to the opponent when controlling the ball.

These things do not always happen as expected. For example, Newcastle United lost 3 points to Dortmund in England. Milan are not in form and have dropped points in their last matches. Dortmund can get a point from them. If Milan cannot win this match, their situation will be very bad in the group. That's why they must win this match no matter what.

Every team in Group F has a chance to qualify for the Round of 16. And the team that plays well and wins in the last two matches will qualify for round of 16. In the next match, AC Milan will play against Dortmund, and PSG will play against Newcastle. If Milan and PSG can win their home matches, I'd say both teams will qualify for the round of 16. Because Newcastle and Dortmund teams are not weak but their performance is quite erratic. However, my favorites in Group F are Milan and PSG. Looking forward to see how these two teams perform in their next match.

I forgot that Osimhen is still doubtful about appearing in the match considering he is still recovering from an injury and maybe with this the match will be quite balanced. But even a draw still doesn't guarantee Napoli because if Braga might come back and win in the remaining 2 matches, it could make them collect 9 points. I think the remaining two matches for Napoli and Braga will still determine their chances of qualifying, but there is an exception if Braga loses or draws against Union Berlin then it is certain that they will have no chance of qualifying when they face Napoli in the final match and as you said say Braga will only try to win a place in the European league.

The four teams in Group F still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 and it is true that Dortmund is more favored than the others, but that doesn't mean it will be easy for Dortmund.
And also in terms of team quality, this team is very strong and balanced, so the possibilities are still the same and still difficult to predict.

However, in my personal opinion, AC Milan is the team that is having the most difficulty right now because several of their main players are injured and this will most likely affect the team's performance, with 2 more matches remaining of course it will be a loss for the team.

Benfica's performance is very far from last season. By being in group D, maybe Benfica could compete with other teams. but unexpectedly they were really down, their only chance was to get a ticket to go to the European League. that is if they could win the remaining two matches. facing Inter and also Salzburg.

This is clearly very difficult for Benfica, tickets to the last 16 definitely belong to Inter and Sociedad. Honestly, Asya doesn't expect Benfica to miss the Champions League this season without getting a single point.

Just like i said before last season Benfica can able reach to quarterfinal in this competition and they almost advances to the semifinal but at that time Benfica lose from Inter Milan and before champion league begin i thought they will being an the favourite to qualified in group D with Inter Milan because previously i was considers the teams just like Sociedad or Salzburg is underdog teams but everything was unexpected because Benfica was displayed poor performance

What i do not understand is Benfica performance at Portugal league was very impressive because until today they can able to occupy first place with only once time to lose but in this competition Benfica was playing just like a weak team even Salzburg which is on the paper the strength is below to them but Salzburg can able to beat them and with only gets 4 loses from 4 matches Benfica chances to qualified is compeletely closed even possibly they will finish at the bottom of group standings

Both Dortmund and AC Milan still have a chance to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League, but AC Milan has to fight harder in their last 2 matches, while Dortmund I see this team is experiencing difficulties, the team's consistency level is still a little unstable if you look at the recent matches in the Bundesliga Dortmund have suffered 2 defeats before the International break.
 I doubt whether in the next match in the Champions League, Dortmund will still perform well there, Milan was able to hold a draw in their previous meeting. I think in this match, Milan will try as hard as possible to gain an advantage and take advantage of the opportunity as the home team well, although experienced a lot of problems due to the injuries of many of their players, but I'm sure Stefano Pioli has prepared this match thoroughly.

yep, your opinion is very reasonable that the 4 teams in group F all still have chance to get tickets to qualify for the next round but looking at the current situation it seems like there are several teams that are a little unprepared to qualify for the next round and one side of the match is only the 2 matches must be utilized well, but my thoughts are always focused on Newcastle and Milan, which I think will be little difficult to qualify for next round.

It not that I doubt Newcastle and Milan, but I just see that the performance of these two teams is a little unstable and this international break has had a bad impact on players physical condition which has decreased a bit. but this is all just my speculation, I hope my prediction is wrong because actually I want to see Milan qualify for the next round.

If you watch Real Madrid match with Napoli,  you will know that Real Madrid players mean well for their team in this season to come out the best in that group because they were able to defeated Napoli despite the challenges they experienced from their players that has injuries in some matches. If Napoli coach can do everything possible to give his players potential treatment that will help them to recover quick, I think they can improve in their remaining matches but it will be difficult for them to win champion league title, because Victor Osimhen that is the strong engine in the front has an injury that is making the team to experience poor performance in some matches now.

It makes no difference whether there is Neymar and Messi or not because at the time they were still playing for PSG but were also unable to win the Champions League title. Currently PSG has a much more stable squad and also has a much better coach than before. Luis Enrique needs time to build a more solid team and if management can be patient then I am sure he will be successful at PSG.

The competition in this group is much more difficult because the four clubs that are part of it are quite balanced so it is understandable that in the first season Luis Enrique might not be optimal or fail to advance to the next round. But if Luis Enrique can take PSG through to the next round and reach the semi-finals, I think this will be a big success for him in the first season. Too quick to fire a coach can't build a more solid squad and we can see how Pep Guardiola handled Manchester City and he didn't immediately produce results in the Champions League.

PSG management needs to be patient and give Luis Enrique the opportunity to prove it because it is not easy to play matches in the Champions League. If there are some players who are not optimal, then in the next transfer market they can bring in some of the players they want, so that Luis Enrique can maximize all his players in competing for the Champions League title.

I've noticed that Italian clubs, despite their struggles in domestic competitions, always prove to be formidable opponents on the international stage. This mirrors the Italian national team's pattern – facing scandals, being underrated, yet emerging as the Euro 2020 champions. One cannot underestimate the playing style and football philosophy of the Italians. It wouldn't be too surprising if AC Milan performs well in the upcoming matches and navigates through this challenging group.

What I know is that each group is provided with two tickets to go to the knockout round which is contested by four teams, not one ticket. All teams in group F still have the same opportunity, the remaining two matches must be used to increase the number of points in order to secure a ticket to the knock-out round.
It is difficult to predict who will qualify because each team has the same strength, home matches must be used to get a win to fuel the enthusiasm of the players in the last match in the group stage. Milan and Dortmund are both aiming for victory, these two teams will try to give their best performance to get the three points.

Dortmund also has long experience in the Champions League. But I also considered how AC Milan was also able to qualify for the round of 16 last season. Even last season, AC Milan performed very poorly in Serie A. But at that time, AC Milan still managed to go further in the Champions League.

So the Dortmund vs Milan match will definitely be more difficult for us to predict. But because the match will take place at the San Siro, maybe Ac Milan really deserves to be the favorite. But currently AC Milan also has several core players who are injured. So I doubt whether Milan will succeed in getting full points or not. But I'm sure Milan will not lose as hosts. What I still doubt is whether Milan will get 1 point or will get 3 points.

This match will determine whether Newcastle's previous victory against PSG was just luck or not. The dynamics of the group will completely change if Newcastle wins against PSG. However, currently, Newcastle's form has declined compared to the first leg, while PSG is playing at a high level, so the chances of a victory for Newcastle are quite low. I still hope for a surprise for Newcastle to add more excitement to this group.
Two seasons are more than enough for Ten Hag to prove his capabilities; a lot of money spent, but in return, only the Carabao Cup. Therefore, relying on Ten Hag to potentially elevate Manchester United to new heights, or at least return to its former glory, seems like an unattainable task to me.

For Ac Milan to come from behind and beat Paris Saint-German in their last encounter in the Uefa Champions League means they are serious about reaching the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League. Ac Milan's next match is at home against Borussia Dortmund, and I see Ac Milan taking the three points at home against Borussia Dortmund because it is not easy traveling to Italy to take a point against a club like Ac Milan and they have experience of the Uefa Champions League.

Group C of UEFA Champion League have qualified to knock round is Real Madrid and Napoli still need waiting two matches left result regarding remaining 4 points Braga. Next match Napoli will face Real Madrid and if loss three points and Braga win over Union Berlin will be crucial position for Napoli on last match against Braga, have advantage for Napoli if Braga vs Union Berlin have getting draw although they loss points from Real Madrid because last match need get one points only have been enough. If any magician can beat Real Madrid when away match automatically Group C have two teams qualified to next round Real Madrid and Napoli.

Difficult for predicting which one team will qualify in Group F, so far four teams still have the same opportunity will get one place on knock out round but upcoming match will see result which one first team in this group will qualify. Dortmund have one step closer if next match get three points against Milan but its not easy after Milan have good result defeated PSG last match.

Berlin will out from UCL and this is it. Napoli and real madrid will remain to be the clubs that go to the next stage but i will not expect napoli to survive during the next stage caused by there will be stronger opponents to come.
Napoli was losing against real madrid and how can it win against other strong club? Berlin is still at the bottom right now. Im not putting a lot of expectation for berlin.

Being able to be qualified for the europa league is good enough rather than leaving from UCL and get nothing. Berlin can still at least compete in the europa league at this moment. This will help team to keep push its performance at this moment.
Berlin is not as strong as last season. It's likely out from UCL soon.
