In the Champions League, anything can happen, even though we are confident that Man City will win the trophy again this season, it is possible that a dark horse team could surprise us all. When talking about statistics between Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, it's natural that you favor your own team, but the final result is still the result that makes Bayern Munich emerge as winners. I admit that Galatasaray's performance was quite surprising, but not being able to turn it into a goal means something was less than ideal in terms of execution.

And it's not surprising that a club as big as Bayern Munich sometimes doesn't play optimally against clubs below them, but when facing Man City of course the mentality of every player will demand the best. The atmosphere of the opponent's game will create a different mental atmosphere.

In my opinion, the performance of PSG and Manchester United is different, PSG is much better than Manchester United in terms of points scored, indeed PSG has an uncertain performance at the moment and in the Champions League PSG has suffered defeats against Dortmund and Newcastle, and there are 2 matches remaining. PSG will face these two clubs again. We are not yet sure whether PSG can qualify from the group stage because what is certain is that PSG will try as hard as possible to avenge their previous defeat.

It is too early to conclude that PSG will experience defeat in the next match and will drop from its current position because in the next match PSG will play at home against Newcastle of course PSG will be at an advantage in the next match and will fight as hard as they can in front of their supporters to get full points so that they can qualify for the round of 16.

Man United is a big team and has had glories in the past. Unfortunately, they cannot fight for that glory in the present because for some reason Man United couldn't play as a solid team and it can be seen that there is no strong chemistry between the players. Actually, they have a good composition of players, it's just that when they are on the field, their rhythm and strategy look very monotonous, so making it easier for their opponents to anticipate Man United's attacks.

Even if milan will be winning the upcoming game and it doesn't mean its position will be safe. I meant if milan needs to get six points from the remaining matches to qualify. Winning against dortmund will not help milan a lot. There are still two games remaining at this moment. that's the last chance owned by milan. The main problem that is still the main concern for pioli if milan must have played the game without leao which was getting injured. This is the main problem.
Who is a good guy that can replace him? Milan didn't have any on its line up. Acmilan needs to think much harder to pick a good one to filling leao's spot.

Milan has been getting huge lose due to the leao's injury. I can't really say that if milan is having big chance to quality. Otherwise missing the match against dortmund will result milan must out from the UCL.
It's gambling on its last life.I wonder who the hell gonna fill leao's spot. Pulisic is not performing that good at this moment.

Pioli is now feeling so confuse to get the best line ups.

I also think that way. Kane joined Munich and currently Munich is one of the favorite teams to win the Champions League. Tottenham are a good team but in the last few seasons I think Kane has felt that only he and Son have really carried Tottenham. Kane is now 30 years old and the Champions League trophy would be a good mark at the end of his career as a professional footballer.

I would more or less think the same if I compared the strengths of Bayern and Man City. But the problem is that in the Champions League, sometimes even teams that are not favorites can surprise and beat the favorite teams, like last season. But for a club as strong as Man City, I'm not sure anyone can currently match their strength in the Champions League. But if Real Madrid is in their best condition with a complete core squad, they might be comparable to Man City. Because currently Real Madrid has Bellingham and Man City has Haaland.

But recently Harry Kane at Bayern has shown a very surprising goal productivity. In 11 matches with Bayern, Harry Kane has collected 17 goals. Especially in November alone, Kane has scored 7 goals in 3 matches. I think Bayern could also be an opponent that could make things difficult for Man City if they meet in the later stages of the Champions League. Because recently Man City has also been a little unstable.

I think there is definitely a chance for Milan to actually qualify. But the thing is even though they are being able to beat teams that are really good in quality, they are just inconsistent in my opinion. The positive thing that I see is they do not have much difference in terms of points right now. So they are still in a great chance to qualify. And I will actually give them a chance because they do not have much difference in terms of points with Dortmund as well. And we all know how inconsistent Dortmund can be as well. There is still a chance and I don't think the fans of Milan have to be too disappointed right now. But if they don't qualify, which is definitely a possibility, they should actually find some other hobbies.

As one indicator, it may be true that performances in the domestic league can determine how a team can compete for the Champions League title. That was aimed at by Manchester City last season and they are so strong in the domestic league and the quality of players they have is almost universal. But talking about the Champions League is not enough about their strength in the domestic league because other indicators are also needed as you said because the Champions League is quite different from other leagues.

Sevilla may be different because they are taking part in a competition that is not as competitive as the Champions League and there also does not have a strong team when they enter the final. So the team strength is much more balanced and really depends on how the coach is able to play his role in implementing strategy.

Apart from how the coach implements the strategy, he may also see opportunities and if he has entered the semi-finals or final, the decision is entirely up to the coach and the quality of the players. When they are able to take advantage of the slightest opportunity, they will come out as winners. There are many indicators that we can look at and maybe everything is never the same every season. Football relies on strategy, the quality of players and finally luck when they are able to take advantage of existing opportunities then this opportunity will be a sweet result for the club.

Manchester United was never a strong team. Not with the way they are currently managed. They have good individual players, but for some reason they can't play as a team. As for PSG is another flock of lost sheep.

Ever since the uneventful departure of Neymar and Messi, the club's fear factor has been on a steep downtrend, despite having one of the best attacking players in Mbappe. if they make it to the knockout stages, I doubt they will stay long in the competition.

There are some reason why kane has been deciding to leave from there.

1. Gain more achievements, he has been stuck in totenham and we must also admit that the competition is too strict. Even totenham can't even win EPL that proves that if kane must have moved to the potential club that can give him trophies.
2. He is also being motivated by some players who become successful caused by they left from totenham. The best example was walker, this guy has been getting treble winners after he leaves from totenham and consistently winning EPL with city.
3. Leave from his comfort zone to deal with the new challenge. Staying much longer in his comfort zone will give nothing. That's why kane was getting stuck in the same level for several years even though he was consistently making lots of goal.

Those reasons are sense reasonw hy kane was leaving from totenham then join in the bayern. bayern is also offering a good place for him to play. Waiting for mane to get a better trophy than scam trophy like audi cup. Lol.

PSG and Manchester United has a lot of things in common. They are struggling so much,even they can't beat the lowest team in their group table. It's funny that a very strong team like PSG will be leaving in this first round. And same thing goes for Manchester United

Currently they are in second position but after the next match they will go below that. Yesterday I was talking with a friend about PSG losing form and he concluded that what has affected the team so much is because they sold a lot of players last season and now the players they have lacks experience and are too young to withstand the pressure in the UCL. Definitely PSG is not ready yet, let's hope that next season they will improve on their performance and quality of play

I think the most important reason for Harry Kane to leave Tottenham was mostly because of reaching this title. In fact, in Tottenham, he didn't have much chance to win the Chmapnios Leageu and that's why Harry Kane left the team and joined Byer Munich, obsoivly this player will work harder to earn this achievement with Bayern Munich.

I agree with you. Man City performance in UCL is perfect, they always win every match in the group stage so far. Sure, the some defeats in EPL seems not bring too much impacts on the performance in UCL matches. Considering this, we can assume Man City can experience the same thing like the previous season. I think they won't only to reach the semi final round, they probably reach the final round again. But we don't know whether Man City can win the UCL title again or not. Anyway, I think the problem doesn't only come from Haaland. The injury of De Bruyne and Rodri can influence much the performance of Man City.

I agree with the prediction, Man City looks to have the biggest chance to win again the title if there are no more injury problem in some key players of Man City. But if some key players are absent in the next few matches, it is possible that Man City can fail to reach the final round and win again the UCL title this season.

Without a doubt an underdog winning the UCL could be quite exciting, but this is an unlikely occurrence as the top clubs can buy any player for any price and improve their performance based on their economic power, however such a team will need to improve based on the chemistry of their players and keep beating the odds over and over again, and this is a very difficult task to achieve taking into consideration the current conditions of soccer all over the world.

I have to say, as someone who has watched Bayern Munich twice because they played my team (Galatasaray), I can say that if they had this much trouble beating us, then they have no chance beating a team like Man City. I am not saying they played bad against us, but on the first game we had like 15+ shots on them, and this is a team that is barely worth over 200 million, Man City is worth over a billion, plus they are properly managed and won the treble last year, the difference is staggering and they should be aware of the issue. I get that it may not be all that easy to handle this, but I do believe that they are not going to end up being the UCL winners in the end, Bayern just doesn't look that good.

Maybe Harry will be the best player in this tournament because of the more potential they have in Bayer Munich and we know Tuchel joined Bayer Munich to help them win the Champions League after years. That's why I think Bayern Munich got more chances than other teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid in this tournament.

Exactly. It is such a group that even the last team can defeat the strongest team of the group on paper which are PSG. We have seen that before by a win like 4-1 as well. PSG are just really bad when it comes to away matches in the Champions League. They lost to Milan recently as well you know.

This weakness of them could even bring their end in the Champions League really early. I would like to see PSG being more competitive however for now Luis Enrique can't make this happen. When they start playing in coherence as a team then they would be more trustworthy.

I genuinely want Harry Kane to win his first trophy; he's been a wonderful player from his days at Tottenham Hotspur, and he's just been unlucky not to have won anything to his name. Although individual brilliance cannot gain him that, all of his colleagues must work together and demonstrate a winning spirit in order for them to all triumph at the end of the competition. So far, Harry Kane has played well, putting the team in a good position to compete for the Champions League title this season.

Wow, has Barcelona been eliminated from the list of title contenders this year? Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the three teams with the best results today. I wouldn't be surprised if they are the top contenders.
Man City is the 2022/23 Champions League champion. Can Man City defend your championship this season? They are still maintaining perfect form compared to last season. Man City is considered the strongest club in Europe currently.
Real Madrid is currently the team that has won the most C1 Cups 14 times. This year, they completely transformed with a group of young recruits, most notably Jude Bellingham. This rookie exploded as soon as he moved in.
Bayern Munich has added Harry Kane, a striker who appears more suitable for their system than Sadio Mane. The Bavarian team is now truly a candidate for this season's championship.

In as much as Bayern Munich, Man City and Real Madrid are the favourites to win the champions league, we should not also forget that an unexpected club that nobody imagined from anywhere could come up and take the day, this is the champions Leagues, though we have our favourite but anything can happen, this is the game of football. I would really want an under dog club to take people by suprise this champions league season.
