Some of the matches last night are over, what surprised us was that Barcelona lost away against Shakhtar Donetsk actually this is not a surprise anymore in UCL matches because anything can happen, we only see from the statistical opportunities Barcelona is bigger but the reality is never imagined.

Next up is tonight's match, but I'm keeping my eye on Copenhagen Vs Manchester United - here we understand how Erik Ten Hag's team still find it very difficult to perform consistently well sometimes they lose to lowly teams from the domestic league and UCL, if they win they clearly have a chance to take second place because it is certain in my guess that Galatasaray will lose to Bayern Munich, maybe we will see that Manchester United can secure their points tonight.

During the weekend match Barcelona played versus Real Sociedad,  they did not play good and should not have emerged winners of that game. I will not say it was luck finally  their hardworking payed off with Araujo scoring  to catapult them up to keep up with chasing the top holders Real Madrid and Girona. So I never expected too much too in this games really. Xavi benched players that would be productive in the first half and brought them late. Raphinha,  Ferran and Romeu all did not play like professionals.
ten Hag has tried so hard to keep his team in good mentals,  today is the game to decide United's fate they may qualify and may not qualify after this game.

Several top teams such as Newcastle, Barcelona and PSG lost in the 4th match of the Champions League group stage. Barcelona performed well with its dominance, but Xavi's plan to rotate several main players actually made Barcelona's game less satisfying. Barcelona was 1 goal behind the home team and the score 1-0 lasted until the match was over.
Yes I saw the final list of matches, because in group F then one of them must lose, this group contains other top clubs.
I don't know why Xavi rotated some players, if you look at the replacements it was their main squad but with this strategy Xavi's team had to lose narrowly.

Manchester United will compete again against Copenhagen in the Champions League, even though in the previous match Manchester United was able to win against Copenhagen, but this time it cannot be confirmed because Manchester United is still not performing consistently, especially as Man Utd will be competing away from home, but I hope Man Utd doesn't lose points so they can took 2nd place taking Galatasaray's position in group A.
The home win was dramatic with Onana being the hero when he saved Copenhagen's late penalty.
Now it may be different but the expectation of many people is of course a Manchester United victory but it is not certain, anyone who bets on this match feels a little anxious because Manchester United could lose as an away match.

You predicted PSG to win but Millan took the lead when Giroud scored the last goal. It looks like a must win for Millan if they want to qualify in this group stage. I think it is a bold step they have taken, dureing their next match they will surely fight for a win as well so that they can qualify. What a game well played by both teams, but favour came ini for Millan and PSG was unlucky for the night.
This match is like a life and death match for Milan to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the group phase, so it is not surprising that Milan played very effectively even though they did not control the game, but did not make the slightest mistake.

Apart from that, Mbappe's tight guard meant that Mbappe could not freely open up space. On the other hand, PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma also performed very well in this match, he managed to make important saves in this match which made no sense. Maybe if he wasn't the goalkeeper many goals would have been scored, such as Tomori's free kick, Theo's free kick and Okafor's chance.
I predicted a win or draw for Ac Milan in that game. There’re few teams that can travel to Milan and beat them there. It’s something I didn’t think PSG could do. I wanted Ac Milan to win and they did and also ended their goal drought to keep their Champions League hopes alive. It’s an important win for Ac Milan. They played very well. I think they played like a team this time. The Milan attackers were conscious of their defense, tracking back to assist their fullbacks. I think what’s left for them is to be confident when they face Newcastle United at st. James park.

The group is still very open for anyone to qualify. Borussia Dortmund are 7 points, PSG 6, Ac Milan 5 and Newcastle United 4. Newcastle’s 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund gives Ac Milan a glimmer of hope.

The match was entering crucial time and they were about to go into extra time.
It will definitely be very interesting if in the end Milan can get 3 points in this match because then the points from Dortmund, PSG, Milan and Necwastle are only 1 point away (If Milan wins).
I am happy if it ends up like that because this is the so-called Hell group where every club can still compete for tickets to qualify for the knock out phase.
Milan are still playing very well with their defense and making quick counterattacks but indeed at this crucial time sometimes there are some things that sometimes become a surprise, hopefully Milan can maintain the current score.
Group F is living up to the expectations, and despite there are only two games remaining the group is still wide open, Milan really needed this win otherwise PSG and Borussia Dortmund would have had a massive advantage over Milan and Newcastle United, so the next match between Borussia Dortmund and Milan will be critical for both squads, as even if Borussia Dortmund is the leader of the group they cannot afford to lose and they need at least the tie, and this is not an easy feat as they will play that game at Milan.
Since the beginning of the group division, all football fans have considered group F to be the hell group in the 2023/2024 Champions League season. This assumption was proven correct, until matchday 4 all teams still had a chance to qualify for the round of 16 as group winners. The two matches that took place in Group F, which brought together Dortmund and Newcastle and Milan and PSG, have resulted in the four teams swapping positions in the standings.

Dortmund has the right to top the standings with 7 points after receiving an additional three points, while PSG has to settle for being in second place with 6 points. Meanwhile, Milan, who just won their first win in the group stage, managed to move up one place, they are in third place with a collection of 5 points, Newcastle had to settle for being in fourth place with a collection of 4 points.

The situation that occurred in Group F means that the four teams have the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16. These four teams also still have hopes of qualifying as group winners. With two matches remaining in the group phase, it will be very interesting to see which two teams will qualify for the round of 16, who will go down to the Europa League and who will have to go home early.

Milan finally gets their first win yesterday from PSG and this is important winning because they just open their chances to qualified i think this is one of Milan best performance during group stage because although Milan was playing more defense because the pressure from PSG but Milan can able to managed their defense until match ended and other match from group F Dortmund can able to overtake first position from PSG after beat Newcastle with scores 2-0 and group F was hard to predicted because after Milan won from PSG there was no teams in this group who had safe position this because the difference points between the teams in this group was not too far and i think possibly the teams who qualified will be determined at the end of matches group

Milan tried to maximize the small possibilities that existed and they were actually able to make good use of every opportunity they had, so they managed to beat PSG with a quality of play that was much more dominated by Luis Enrique's men. PSG managed to open the lead in the 9th minute through Skriniar and Leao managed to equalize three minutes later.
In this match, it can be seen that AC Milan's mentality is quite good, since before the match the AC Milan team was required to win the match in order to have a chance of qualifying from the group and even though they were 1 goal behind at the start of the first half, the AC Milan players were able to respond quickly with equalized and tried to dominate the game so they managed to turn things around to 2-1 for AC Milan's victory.
With this result, AC Milan's chances of qualifying from the group phase are wide open.

In the other group F match, Dortmund managed to beat Newcastle with a score of 2-0, which means that the possibility of Dortmund being able to qualify for the round of 16 is very wide open, now Dortmund is at the top of the group F standings with 7 points, PSG 6 points, AC MIlan 5 points and Newcastle 4 points, this is really a pretty fierce group, up to now these four teams still have a chance to advance to the round of 16.

Milan's defense and goalkeeper Maignan deserve appreciation because they were able to break every opportunity that PSG's forwards had. Dominating the match and having several opportunities to score made PSG's defense relaxed so that in the end Giroud managed to take advantage of the winning goal in the 50th minute. Mbappe had difficulty finding space to score because Milan's defense was really solid in guarding the penalty box area and this victory opened up opportunities for Milan because in the other match Newcastle lost.

Yes, it was Barcelona's first defeat in the Champions League even though overall Barcelona dominated possession of the ball but in reality Barcelona couldn't do much, in the first half Shaktar took the lead in the 40th minute Barcelona still could not equalize until the game ended and in the end Barcelona had accept his to defeat.

Manchester United will compete again against Copenhagen in the Champions League, even though in the previous match Manchester United was able to win against Copenhagen, but this time it cannot be confirmed because Manchester United is still not performing consistently, especially as Man Utd will be competing away from home, but I hope Man Utd doesn't lose points so they can took 2nd place taking Galatasaray's position in group A.

I saw a good defensive strategy in the Champions League without making a foul in the area near the goal. Shakhtar did it very well, they could even prevent Barcelona from reaching the goal. Barcelona couldn't get a shot on target because the defense was tight and layered, which is a good strategy when playing with a team that can dominate the match with ball possession like Barcelona. This is not a bad sign for Barcelona, ​​but it is a good sign for them because then Xavi can be more careful in determining his main line-up.

Now with the condition of losing PSG and Newcastle in today's match at least Milan still maintain their hopes of being able to qualify and fight for the top 2 positions in the group phase.
This is obviously very interesting because all the teams in group F can still be in the top 2 depending on their results in the last 2 matches later, Milan are in 3rd place now but their points are only 2 points away from Dortmund who are at the top so the last 2 matches later for all clubs will determine whether they will qualify or not so if in the end they want to qualify then as much as possible 3 points are a fixed price in the remaining 2 matches later.
Looking with current standings Group F of Champion League very interested after Milan defeating PSG and another match Dortmund continue the winning trend over Newcastle United. Milan who not favorable for qualifying to the next round now they have the same chance with PSG or Dortmund who leaded top standings awhile with fewest points left. Left two matches later for four teams will lead to next round, loss points on upcoming match will make their position difficult qualify to next round.

Next match Milan vs Dortmund and PSG vs Newcastle United, have possibility change with current standing depend on next match result and Newcastle although dropped to bottom standings still have chance depend with their match result exactly on important match against PSG. Dortmund can close easily to next round if can secure three away points against Milan, based on your prediction which one teams will qualify to next round in this Group?

Manchester city is more likely to win the match because Young Boys are a more weaker team to match up to Manchester city in the match and at that they are going to accumulate multiple goals in this match and if I must predict then I will say the match will end with a 3 goals to none.

Reason is that Manchester City's previous performances have shown a lot of technicality that will aid them to win at all time against what we have with young boys whose previous performances have not really shown anything significant at all to some point.

Nice spam I must say, predicting a match that ended 3:0 4 hours ago to end 3:0. I see you can predict the past.

Also it really takes some deep knowledge into football thinking Man city might win this game because they are the better team. I guess nobody in the world thought in that direction.

Is this kind of spam considered a "good post" by your campaign manager or is it just me throwing up all over it? It must be me maybe, but I'm not sure.

This group is a hardest one in Champions League this season. The surprising good performances from Newcastle United makes the group more unpredictable. In the previous match day in this group, PSG took the lead by beating AC Milan in Paris at their home stadium. Today with this defeat in Milan, PSG will have next very difficult matches.

For sure Group F is the most difficult group in the Champions league, we have PSG, AC Milan, Dortmund, and Newcastle united that has taken England by surprise since last season. All these clubs I've mentioned are doing well is their various divisions so predicting their matches is more or less a very complex one though Newcastle united seems a little bit disappointed as most of their key players have been absent due to various degrees of injuries. Losing their great defender Dan Burn to injury on Saturday was also one thing that led to their defeat in Dortmund but however, all the clubs in group F are doing well.
Even AC Milan that people almost lost hope on that they might not be able to make it to round of 16 due to their performance in the champions league have now taken everyone by surprise winning Paris Saints German by 2:1 yesterday.

In this group, with so far results and gaps amongst four clubs, every club can be out from the Round of 16 at the final day. One win or one defeat in this group will change a club ranking a lot. Last two match days will be so hard for all engaged clubs and no guarantee that PSG will be qualified for a next phase.

All the team in Group F will be fighting for who will qualify for the round of 16 because due to their various performance so far we can gladly say that almost all of them are equal in performance so the tense is more in this group because it will be difficult to predict who will qualify for the round of 16 as anyone of them can qualify.

True but milan has managed to make its life much longer in UCL after it was able beating PSG in san siro. Milan shall go all out against another team in the group starting from now. I kinda feel that if milan was lucky enough to win the game against PSG.
Dortmund is now leading the competition. I hope that PSG will be suffering another lose for sure. I would prefer dortmund and newcastle to go to the next round rather than PSG. People kinda feel scared to bet on milan but pioli proves it was not true.
Even though milan beat PSG with narrow score but this is not a problem.

I agree that PSG is unlucky. They already played well, they dominated the match. They even won 70% the ball possession and made 17 total shots. Sadly, they only could score 1 goal. AC Milan defenders played quite solidly today, it made PSG attackers very difficult to get an ideal position to score. However, PSG is still in the 2nd place. They still can qualify for the next round.
They are unlucky, it's true but another truth is they did not play well enough. AC Milan got two goals to beat PSG but within the match, they created some other opportunities and even can score more than two goals.

Don't forget that their defense system is again very weak in this match as Donnarumma made some great saves to help PSG avoid more conceded goals. AC Milan players even can make better shots to beat PSG at bigger result.

Barcelona is appearing more of a defensive side on this second half of the game, as they fail to be able to create chances but rather having a more tough defense against Shakhtar Donetsk probably because they will still qualify anyways, so a loss in this match wouldn't cause much harm.
I am shocked at how Barcelona played the match. I never see such a poor performance status by Barcelona in their history. Barcelona have played all of their first-team players; I mean, all of their crucial players have played in the match, but unfortunately they lost to Shakhtar Donetsk. From all the above, they didn't create a single clear scoring chance in the entire match-up of 100 minutes. Robert Lewandowski didn't make sense of what was expected of him as a prominent player.

I am incapable of understanding and thinking about what's going wrong with Barcelona. Their last five matches have shown a lack of performance and quality, and now they lost their Champions League match with a bad experience that they have never faced in history like this, since 2008/09, that Barcelona didn't generate one single clear goal-scoring chance change in the whole match.

What did you guys think about the tactics of Xavi tonight, and what was wrong with him?

I really didn't expected Barcelona to lose to be fair, but this doesn't feel like it would change anything. Surely, they want to win as much as possible, wins are always a good boost to morale, and they would feel better about it. But at the same time, its almost guaranteed that they will go up without any trouble, doesn't feel like they will even become second, they will most probably beat the rest of the games and end up with the first place, that feels like a good thing. Milan game was also a shocker, PSG is putting their position at trouble, they may end up having going up, that group looks like all four could be in the first two, we still have no idea who will go up.

Apart from that, Mbappe's tight guard meant that Mbappe could not freely open up space.

Maybe if he wasn't the goalkeeper many goals would have been scored, such as Tomori's free kick, Theo's free kick and Okafor's chance.
It must be like that. It was proving that if the key was on mbappe. Limiting his movement has become the main strategy of acmilan and it's worked. Milan shall have stopped to do another shitty thing again to the its club.
Winning the remaining matches days is a must for pioli's club at this moment. I hope milan stops to repeat the same shit and the club can get same result like when it was winning against PSG.

I think you can't blame him. I assume most people predicted PSG to win the match. It is just a surprise that AC Milan can defeat PSG although they are not in a good condition lately. Giroud became the hero again for AC Milan, he showed people that he still deserved to be AC Milan main striker although he is no longer young player. I think many people lost after betting for PSG today.  Grin

I agree that PSG is unlucky. They already played well, they dominated the match. They even won 70% the ball possession and made 17 total shots. Sadly, they only could score 1 goal.

Man City falls into a relatively easy group in the Champions League. The difference in Man City's squad and level is too apparent. There is nothing unusual in this group when Man City shows outstanding strength.
Man City won against Young Boys (3-0), and this season they won all. In the match against Young Boys, Haaland scored twice, and Man City officially qualified for the Champions League group stage. They have officially entered the 1/8 round soon and can now relax and focus on the Premier League.
The result from the match between young boyz vs city can be predicted easily. That's easy reward for anyone who pick city. People would easily farm money when they will always bet on manchester city in this group.
City has been dominating the match and it's obvious that if city was the winner of this group. There's no club that can compete or being equal to the manchester city at this moment. The gap is too big to be reached by its competitors.
The treble winners are winning all of games easily. As you can see that if people are not really aware if manchester city never used its main squad against the teams in UCL.
City was using grealish instead of doku which is performing even btter than grealish. City was not using its main squad to destroy other club at this moment. City is too strong.
The citizen gave easy money for any of its bettors.
