If I'm not mistaken, Arsenal haven't won the EPL for exactly two decades, what's great is that the Gunner won it by going undefeated all season. After that, until now their acute illness has never recovered, namely losing points when the season almost ended, I will never forget how they ended last season. I agree with you, that Arteta must try to build a squad with the foundation of a winning mentality, not only in the EPL but in the UCL.

This season Arsenal are quite active in shopping for players in the transfer window, in their efforts to hunt for the championship trophy. It has been proven that so far Arteta squad has gone smoothly in the group phase by only losing once to Lens, even though this was a defeat that surprised us all. I think Arsenal will qualify for the round of 16 as group winners. On the other hand it is not wrong to think that Arsenal can go far in the UCL this season, arteta is very ambitious to achieve success this season with his best squad.

There really is no way to assume or hope for anything. Now is a time where anything can happen, from injuries to league fines. The competition is so high that anything can happen. and don’t forget about match-fixing. Nowadays money is everything. There is no football like it used to be, when the club's matchmaker could not match any amount of money.

That's for sure we can never predict there matches because sometimes the more we expect from them the less we see because Manchester United is not in a good shape this season premier league so actually is obvious that the possibility of them going far on this premier league season if not possible because there performance has not proving worthy to go far.

However Manchester United and Chelsea almost have the same thing in common because you can hardly predict them on a match, because on that Chelsea match against Manchester City nobody believes they could perform the way they did but however on there normal matches with small clubs they finds it difficult to win.

The main problem that is difficult to form within Arsenal is a Champion Mentality, no one doubts that Arsenal is a strong team, but in the end they always have difficulty winning trophies. Last season people started to think this was Arsenal's year, but that assumption disappeared after they started to lack consistency after the season was almost over.
The champion mental problem, which has not been able to be eliminated, means that the London cannon always jams towards the end of the competition. I don't have any hopes at all for Arsenal, even though they appear as challengers in the UCL, their progress will not reach the Final.

Barcelona, ​​like Manchester United, will have a difficult time ahead. But unlike Manchester United, Barcelona has a fairly strong defense, changing the goalkeeper will have an impact, but in my opinion, not as influential as problems with defenders.

Missing gavi would not be a problem as there are some who can fill his position. The main problem if barcelona will not be only missing. Ter stegen may also missing some matches. Stegen has been always able saving the clubs from conceding lots of goal.
I can't even imagine when barcelona must have performed with the back up goal keeper. The performance between stegen and secondary goal keeper is so different. This thing makes me feel worry about that.

It is preliminary known that Gavi will miss about 9 months and will miss Euro 2024. And in Barcelona they are now blaming Luis de la Fuente because he subjected the player to unnecessary stress in preparation and in the match with Georgia, which did not decide anything for Spain.

Perhaps in such matches it was really not worth using such important players as Gavi, and it was worth giving him a rest, but de la Fuente says that Gavi was ready to play and what happened was an accident. I don't think anyone wanted this to happen, but now Barcelona and Spain are losing a very important player for a very long time.

So Gavi might not be able to play on the field after this injury?
They have a difficult rehabilitation ahead of them. After reading about this injury, we can say that not only this season is closed for him, but most likely the next one as well. Let's hope he gets better soon and returns to playing.

This is really bad because not only for Barcelona, it's also bad for Spain and Gavi himself. Now Gavi is being told that the injury is so serious that it might even mean an early end to the season for him as he will have to rest for a long time even until the end of the season when he won't be able to play (the worst possibility in some rumors like that).
But it is also  quite reasonable because Barcelona has given a statement that Gavi is now experiencing an ACL problem that requires him to be absent for a long time and we certainly know that some players who have received ACL injuries are difficult to get back to their performance in a period of time.

Erik Ten Hag is genius and there's limited opportunities for them to reach good positions, for him to rebuild the team into a strong one, he still gave time to make things right for the Red Devils. Manchester united spot on qualifying from UCL Group is under probability because they're ranked least on the table, hope for the Europa League is shattered. Manchester united are Champs but all their glory have been in history, there's nothing brilliant about the present form of the Red Devils because they have failed to record winning which is consider important and very inconsistent in league matches.

For Manchester United, it's unwise to predict their performance. Normally their performances has been poor from the start of the season till now, one cannot be confident in the outcome of their games to be in favor of United.

 Galatasaray has been up and doing and there's a higher chance that they have upper hand again Manchester United, the player's state and team generally for Manchester United is more of less the issue they're faced with and it needs to be fixed because if not their Europa League contest race will be in jeopardy.

 Currently they're less better than most teams in the race and to be honest, there's a whole lot of threatening clubs looming, Manchester United just has to work on themselves to fix their errors and see a way that they're balanced up a bit to contest against both weaker and stronger teams, there's lots of work to be done.

Galatasaray will probably be served the win on a silver platter in that Manchester United match.    Because just as you have mentioned Manchester United are dealing with injury problems also like it isn't enough for them to play inconsistently this season. In the circumstances I don't know how Erik ten Hag can deal with it.

It is going to be up to Galatasaray to be efficient on their attacks this time. Because their one of limited problems is this now. They played amazingly even against Bayern Munich in both matches. However they wasted a lot of opportunities to score.    If the manager Okan Buruk finds a solution to this then I don't see anything holding Galatasaray back from defeating Manchester United twice.

Barcelona are minus one player from the starting lineup. This is Gavi, he was seriously injured while playing for the Spanish national team. She received a rupture of the cross and thus ended up in treatment
 for at least half a year. Fortunately, Xavi has someone to replace him.
Do you think this will cause problems for the team?

That is the main reason why people called that as a bottle club. winning so many weeks and lead the competition till mid season but it was losing at the end. That is not the first time for arsenal to bottling the competition. Arsenal has been recorded doing the same thing for a few times.
People are aware about the habit of arsenal. This is the main reason why people can't really count on arteta's club when it was leading the league. Arsenal can go down anytime without any notice.
Arsenal is totenham's brother. These clubs are always being called as bottle clubs.

The finishing must be repaired. Arsenal never able to have good finishing. This club is always bottling it at the end of season. I expect nothing from arsenal. The same story like last season.
This club is always running out of fuel once it comes to the end of season.

It would be very natural for me, if this time Galatasaray was slightly superior to Manchester United. After all, the match was played at Rams Park, Galatasaray's headquarters. Apart from that, there are many factors that make United considered to have only a slim chance of winning the match against Galatasaray. Actually, I haven't collected all the information, especially for United. whether the injuries to Hojlund, Eriksen, the status of Rashford, Antony and others. So in this post, I will only opine based on what I know.

The point is, United's conditions and situation are indeed unpleasant and have affected their performance so far. That's why there is little hope that United will progress from the group phase. It's no different if United targets finishing in 3rd place. with the scenario, they have tickets to the playoffs in the European League. The situation is not very conducive for Erik Ten Hag's squad. However, make no mistake if unexpected things can happen. United could perform optimally, even though the players they play are second tier, especially on the front line. and this could be a problem for Galatasaray. because, they have to consider if there are any surprises in the match on matchday five.
Moreover, in terms of betting odds, there is no significant difference, the point is that both teams will play as hard as possible to achieve the full points they hope to get. In the match, we will be presented with something interesting and I hope that these two teams will put on a very exciting match. Regarding the final result, we will find out later.

I agree that all group stage teams may win. Its intriguing how minor league teams may surprise us and become tournament dark horses. Consider Manchester United. They may not be at their best, but their powerful squad and the correct tactics and direction can turn things around. A win over Galatasaray could increase their prospects of advancing. Taking the chance and playing with determination is key.

Bayern Munich's prospective clean sweep is a monument to their consistency in Group A, where competition is tough. Other teams may have their own issues that hinder their performance. Manchester United needs to win their remaining two matches. This pressure can make or break them. Given the conditions, Erik ten Hag guiding them past the group stage would be extraordinary. These circumstances make the Champions League so exciting.

Manchester United don't even have a clear pattern they , they just go on the field and do it like we do down the streets of Africa LoL.
It feels like the old times of the management of David Moyes. It's embarrassing, Erik Ten Hag was told by Manchester United to move to a football club and not a commercial club but he choose to be a stubborn coach.

They win or lose against Galatasaray, it doesn't change the fact that they'll need to have more players sent out of the club. If they can win both games against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, they can qualify for the Champions knock out stage.

Manchester United are a Champions League team and they know they’ll have to go all out to win Galatasaray so as to save them a spot either in the UCL Round 16 or Europa League, but I’m worried because you can see that the team generally needs overhauling like they’ve been overworked whereas they haven’t given in much as compared to Champions which they’re.

 Going into this match Galatasaray seem to be favorites having defeated the Red Devils at Old Trafford bit I trust Manchester United to put up a show and save their name and show why they’re Champions Manchester United needs to try their best to get all 3 points else it’s bye bye to the UCL, I feel pity for Erik Ten Hag cause he has alot of task on him this season.

All clubs that can enter the Champions League competition are great clubs, they have their own advantages and disadvantages, so if we compare one club with another, it cannot be just one side and comparing Galatasaray or Manchester United, both of them have the same opportunity to win. can win the upcoming match and previously I often said that Manchester United is not a bad club and hope is still visible even though it is currently experiencing bad conditions but indeed the coach plays an important role while Erik Ten Hag will definitely provide the best strategy and just see what what will happen later, while our worries about Manchester United are not always true and sometimes this club can actually win the match.

Everyone has a chance to win the Champions League, but what makes the difference is how big the percentage is for them to win the title.
I'll give you an example, for example we can't say Manchester City and Antwerp have the same chance because of their strength and performance. With no intention to underestimate Antwerp at all, but that's the fact that I see now. Manchester City may have a 50% chance of winning the championship, but for Antwerp it's only 20%. I guess that's how we see the chances of all clubs to win the Champions League. Or in short, they all have the same chances with different percentages.
