Madrid and napoli. These clubs will be qualified for the knock out stage. There's no reason for real madrid not to win this group caused by it was not performing so well. Napoli still needs to get more points as the club is not yet face at this moment.
The gap to the club below it is not that big compared with real madrid. Madrid needs to win 1 or 2 matches and it will able to go to the next round with winner of group status.

Real madrid is the strongest club in this group. Im always betting on real madrid coz this club has very big probability to win.

Talking about the most comfortable position at the moment, it is not only Real Madrid who have successfully won 3 times in three matches but also Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Barcelona who currently have a safe position leading each group and is it possible that we will get another new record when Bayern Munich which might be against Real Madrid who are trying to win this CL title and also Manchester City who have the ambition to get another trophy in this champions league.
I think this season the Champions League is quite interesting and competitive after entering the round of 16 because several of the clubs I mentioned earlier have had quite strong changes, even Real Madrid, which last season experienced a very bad decline in performance, this season has started to show its very strong strength again. great and for me domestic matches will never affect performance in the CL because domestic matches will probably only be considered a little less important and Ancelotti will only provide a strategy to not waste too much energy and save the performance of his mainstay players to be able to perform optimally in this champions league.

For Group C, it seems that Real Madrid and Napoli will progress to the next stage quite easily. Because Union Berlin and Braga don't seem to be able to match the performance of Real Madrid and Napoli. Even in this match, Napoli will definitely be the favorite because the match which will take place at Napoli's home ground will clearly make Napoli more confident to score more goals. And likewise, the Real Madrid vs Braga match will definitely belong to Real Madrid. Because there is a fairly clear difference in strength between Braga and Real Madrid.

Currently Group F is the fiercest. Because it is filled with strong teams, it is difficult to see who will qualify. But PSG seems like the one that will definitely qualify. But for one other team I'm not sure which team will qualify.

Don't have to talk about the Champions League, even in the local competition Union Berlin was very bad, not only did they lose but they also had difficulty scoring goals, there was a drastic decline they experienced and that made the competition in group C only between Real Madrid and Napoli.
At the beginning of the season, it was predicted that Union Berlin could be the team that disrupted the targets of the two teams because Braga was clearly the team that was least taken into account in the group, but everything went very differently, Union Berlin had not even scored any points at all and the teams in the group will make the match against Union Berlin an opportunity to earn points.
When they face Napoli on Wednesday, it will be very difficult for Union Berlin to avoid defeat, and maybe they will just try not to concede many goals because a big defeat will make Union Berlin's players' mentality even worse.
In the fourth match, it seems like it will be certain which team will qualify from Group C, namely Real Madrid and Napoli.
Napoli has benefited quite a lot from the decline experienced by Union Berlin because they are also one of the teams that were not as good as last season.

Real Madrid journey in the group stage was still very smooth, there was no worry at all on Ancelotti's face about Real Madrid's chances. Nine points were collected from three matches, Real Madrid was also able to beat one of the teams considered to be its toughest opponent in the group stage. Real Madrid will emerge as group winners and Napoli will accompany Real Madrid as representatives of group C, these two teams are superior to SC Braga and Union Berlin who are still in third and fourth positions. The draw that Real Madrid just got in La Liga when they were held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano will not affect their performance in the UCL because their main focus this season is winning the UCL trophy after experiencing failure last season in the semifinals.

That is the problem that Manchester United has been experiencing since some time ago when Manchester United was coached by Ralf Rangnick, they were actually in not very good condition and after that the arrival of Ten Hag was expected to change everything but it failed.
Problem after problem always comes and must be felt by this big squad from England which makes them quite far behind other big teams.

Recently, there have been lots of rumors circulating that Ten Hag could potentially suffer the fate of being fired if in the near future he cannot provide change for Manchester United because they also want to return to competing to become champions rather than continuing to be involved in an endless conflict.
Maybe change of coach could bring changes to Manchester United, especially now that Sheikh Jassim has full control over the Red Devils squad and with the finances he has, Manchester United can look for coach with very good qualities to make these changes happen.

This is an easy competition for Real Madrid and we also see that their chances of coming out as champions groups are very big because so far they are unbeaten. Napoli, who are considered Real Madrid's toughest competitors, are not showing balanced competition and they are actually having difficulty performing like last season.

Napoli will ensure their place as runners-up in Group C and if you look at the quality shown by Union Berlin and Braga, it will not be difficult for Rudi Garcia to reach that position because they will only have difficulty facing Real Madrid, while the other two teams will be easier for them to beat. Facing Union Berlin at home will increase the motivation of the players because they will try to apply pressure at the start of the match and will score quick goals that will disturb the Union Berlin players mentally. If you look at Union Berlin's playing conditions in their last five matches it is not difficult for Napoli to secure three points at home.

Group C is been dominated by Real Madrid having won all their three games, they are definitely sure to qualify for the next round of the UCL, it's really sad how union Berlin is performing so poorly at the champions league, so far they are yet to win or draw a single game in the UCL.


They are the only team in the group C of the UCL who is yet to get a single point,  Napoli just as expected is doing well and have won two out of the three games they have played so far and I think they are sure going to qualify because meeting union Berlin I their next match at home will definitely be a tough one as they wouldn't want to be humiliated by Berlin at home so it's most likely a win with a small goal margin as Berlin would want to make sure they get a draw or possibly win in that match.

Yes, the quality of Man United players should be good enough. Rashford, Hojlund, Mount, Bruno Fernandes, Amrabat, Varane, and Onana are top players. And there are many other good players in Man United squad. But I agree that the problem is their performance is decreasing a lot during this season. I think there is a problem with the coach. It can be about the tactic or the way of Ten Hag to motivate the players. Ten Hag must evaluate his way to manage the players.

I think Man United still has a chance if the players can improve their performance in the next matches. It is not something impossible to defeat Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Man United squad quality is much better than those teams. Man United only need to try how to play as a solid team for the next matches.

Although they have no strong mentality but I still believe they have a chance to finish in the second place. I trust the quality of Man United squad, they actually deserve to finish the group stage as the runner up. Let's see how Man United performance in the remaining matches. I hope there is a change in Man United game.

Yes, I also doubt AC Milan performance this season because AC Milan has not won in the Champion League this season, which makes their performance worse this season. In fact, there is a big possibility that they will be eliminated in the group phase because the other teams are so strong when compared to AC Milan. AC Milan does not have a strong mentality this season because they were beaten by a big score by PSG and also managed to be held to a draw by Newcastle United in San siro. I think management mistake was releasing Tonali in the transfer window last season even though he was an important player in AC Milan.

So, looking at the next 3 matches, other team are definitely more favorites to steal point from AC Milan when they meet. Because the instability in AC Milan performance will be exploited by the opposing team to be able to beat them. I think in the upcoming match where AC Milan will face PSG of course PSG are very favorites to win this match because PSG beat AC Milan with a score of 3-0 in the first leg of course they have a strong mentality to repeat it again when playing at San Siro.

Galatasaray got bad news about Muslera's injury. It is said that Muslera will be missing the first 6 games ahead. The Champions League games against Bayern Munich and Manchester United are also included in this. Their backup goalkeeper Gunay Guvenc isn't a credible goalkeeper compared to Muslera. Unlucky of him that his first game is even going to be against Bayern Munich.

Galatasaray really need Muslera in the remaining group games. Maybe it is very difficult to make difference against Bayern Munich in Germany. But he would definitely do so against the Red Devils. The fans will hope for Muslera not to miss that critical game at least.

To keep their hopes of making it out of the group  A of this season's UEFA Champions League, Manchester United must not drop points against Copenhagen or risk being ousted from the competition. Already I think it'll be very difficult for Manchester United to make it out of the group but dropping any point against Copenhagen will simply end their hopes of qualifying to the knockout stages.

If Manchester United loses any point against Copenhagen everything is going to be over for them because Copenhagen is almost the weakest team in this group and the match against Copenhagen is a good chance for Manchester United to take some points in this game.
But for Ten Hag and Manchester United, there is not any hope in the Champions League in this season.  

Steal points from PSG? It's football though, anything can happen in between. Milan could end up winning the game and same goes with PSG. My best prediction would be on Luis Enrique and his side to take all three points, failure to do so puts either of who wins between Newcastle and Borrussia Dortmund. Honestly, I would want to see Newcastle win. We've seen too much of Dortmund can we see something else entirely?

In the Seria A, they have have accumulated four points in the last four games for Milan. A win and a draw for a big side who won the league few years back ( Two )
Copenhagen versus Manchester United! I'll go for first half under 1.5 goals and or a first half draw.

Group F is challenging and we have watched the top performance from elite teams, and it will take a miracle for the Nerazzurri to advance to the next round. AC Milan have not won any UCL football matches this season, their performances have been horrible and Stefano Pioli has done little in terms of helping the club return back to winning shape. I can't see why I placed an excessive amount of attention on comprehending the complete team scenario, yet  they're not showing signs as team that would bounce back and make good results.

It is really true that the look of Milan is worrying in the Champions League. A team like them can't have this serious scoring problem here. I don't expect Milan to have a great achievement here two times in a row of course. It would be too much to ask from them. However they can do much better than this normally. Currently I only see a struggling Milan in the offense line. 0 goals in 3 matches is just too bad. Can they score against PSG? I hope so to gain some confidence.

PSG are more vulnerable in away matches here. We saw what Newcastle did to them. Let's see if Milan manage to steal some points.

In the last 4 matches in different events, Milan was not even able to get full points. Milan's performance is really unstable, especially in the Champions League. Honestly, I don't like the style used by Stefano Pioli for his squad. btw, I'm just referring to their match in the Champions League. because I didn't follow his progress in Serie A. Last season and this season, there were no changes to the playing patterns implemented by the coach. except, some newcomers.
IMO, Stefano Pioli should learn a lot to change his patterns, systems and strategies. even though in reality, AC Milan's squad depth is not as bad as its performance.

In the next two days, Milan will host Paris Saint-Germain at the San Siro, Milan's headquarters. even though Milan plays at their own headquarters, PSG is the one that is superior to the bookie. Milan with @3.10, while PSG @2.23. This match has the potential to end in a draw. Moreover, if Milan falls when they host PSG on the fourth matchday of the Champions League group phase. Thus, their chances of getting to the next phase will be gone. In fact, we know very well that Milan did not even win any of their 3 matches in this group phase. Moreover, they have to overthrow PSG. For now, I will not assume or speculate. So, let's just wait for these two teams to meet.

After such a useless game from Manchester United, I’m just wildly disappointed.
I firmly believed until the end that the Reds would be able to score, but alas...
Now my eyes are focused on Galatasaray. A club that is rapidly moving forward. and can show a beautiful gam

Ok you describe this as if it should be easy for them to not lose any of the games and even more, win two of the games and tie one. But let's get down to business then and see what their chances are.

What is the chance that Manchester United will beat Galatasaray in Turkey in their home stadium with these crazy fans? I think the chances are 35% at best to win that game. Maybe they tie the game, but that is not enough since they lost the first leg and this could be decisive.

Against Copenhagen it is going to be hard because it is again a game away from Old Trafford. The Copenhagen team is no amateur group. They play hard and physical football and winning against them is tough. But we can assume Manchester United wins it.

The last game against Bayern Munich. Needless to say that it is difficult to predict because Bayern Munich has probably qualified for the next round and might play with their second best formation, but still.

If anything, it will be a tight fight.

If you check the table of this group well, you’ll see that conclusion cannot just be made yet on who will make it to the round of 16 in that group. They have all played three matches and only Milan have failed to get a point amongst the group, but that does not mean we can rule them out just yet. They still have 3 more matches to play in this group stage and we all know that Milan is now a team that is very weak when compared to the rest of the teams in that group. Their failure to earn any point can just be for some circumstances unknown to them also which happens in football. I have not yet concluded or rule out any team yet that are going to make it to the final 16 of the champions league from this group yet. We will await how the second leg matches of this group will turn out, before we can begin to draw conclusions on which team will qualify to the next round or not.


You have a point in what you’re saying because Manchester United were not playing in the champions league last season and only got to qualify this season because of their good performance last season. For them to remain here the following season, they need to improve in their game both in the domestic league and champions league they are currently playing in now. I won’t be surprised if I don’t see them even making it out of the group stage in the UCL, their performance is not something to hopeful for them for.
