Newcastle screwed lots of tickets last night and same with Atletico Madrid, It's time for Atletico Madrid to let go of Diego Simeone.
I saw Tonali playing last night, what's up with the 10 months ban due to gambling habits?
Eddie Howe should be aware that Borrussia Dortmund are good at home. Newcastle fail to win that game and they will he next one, they will drop down amongst those to be qualified for the next level.

I would love to see Luis Enrique winning the Champions League for Parisians. He has the experience, they have the money, now it's time to gather special players to get the job done.

Actually the reason for this look is simple. Because they prioritize head-to-head games rather than goal difference. You can check out the information related to this situation on Flashscore also. It says "at the end of the competition" but I guess that it is calculated now too.

As Dortmund managed to win last night they have gained 2 places in Group F by only one game. Of course PSG's beating Milan in Parc des Princes also helped Dortmund quite much. I don't know how Newcastle couldn't score a single goal though. I really liked their effort in the second half. They were unlucky at the same time because they had some shots targeted the post.

It was really unexpected to see Newcastle not being able to score any goal against Dortmund despite scoring 4 goals against PSG before.

The group with equal strengths is definitely Group F. Newcastle scored 4 points against PSG at home. Psg beat Dortmund 2-0 at home. Dortmund beat Newcastle 0-1 away in the match played last night. Even though Newcastle was the more effective side, it could not avoid defeat. 2 balls hit the post and the luck factor was not on Newcastle's side. Milan, perhaps seen as the favorite after the 3rd matches played in the group, is in last place with 2 points. Milan must get at least 2 wins and 1 draw in the remaining 3 matches, otherwise they will struggle to qualify for the Champions League in the group stage. My favorite in the group is Dortmund.

It looks like we still need to see the results of the fourth match in this group stage to determine which team will qualify for the next round because all the teams in the group still have a chance to qualify for the next round. Especially if Milan is able to beat PSG in November when they meet at the San Siro, because Dortmund and Newcastle will definitely both fight hard to get first place. The matches in this group are really interesting and also attract the attention of many people to this group.

This is precisely what makes it interesting for a group of hell where each club can beat each other which makes the competition in the standings more colorful.
Currently with 3 matches that have been done their points are still too close because PSG who is at the top is only 4 points adrift of Milan who is at the bottom of the standings.
It's quite pleasing because in the end this kind of competition is what I expected in the Champions League and indeed this is in line with my expectations for the group of hell.

In Week 4 I was expecting more from Newcastel because even though they are currently in 3rd place, they are still at the bottom of the group and it's not too late for them to prove themselves.

Group F is the most challenging group in UCL this season. With the presence of elite teams, PSG, Newcastle, AC Milan and Dortmund. Borrusia Dortmund was defensive in the game against Newcastle United. Edin Terzic know basically how fierce and competitive the Magpies was and he pulled a big stunt that made everything balance on the visitors side. Eddie Howe on the other hand was dissapointed and couldn't bear the defeats, because it's unexpected with hard luck on Newcastle side. They were unable to draw the game due to the heavy defendlines from Dortmund.

Theoretically, even if Milan scores not 12 points in the remaining games, but 9, they will qualify, but given the level of the opponents, this looks unlikely. It's funny that in just one round, Newcastle, which was the favorite of the group, changed places with Dortmund and is now an outsider (Milan is even worse, but we do not take it into account). But I wouldn’t be surprised if Borussia surprises us again in Dortmund, this time in a negative sense.

I don't understand with this, isn't Newcastle should be on the second position since they're leading in goal difference? Newcastle has 2 points while Dortmund has -1 points, but Dortmund overtake Newcastle's position.

However Milan seems hard to be qualify into the next rounds.

AC Milan is the only club yet to taste victory in this group, and yes Paris Siant Germain can win the match with a pretty big score, it is a good signal that they show.
After being able to occupy the top of the standings, now finally Newcastle must also drop to 3rd place after Borussia Dortmund can beat them with a thin score. And yes it is a very tight competition in this group, as we predicted earlier that this group is the strongest group in the Champions League this season. AC Milan itself still has hope with 3 matches that they will still do.

What a fantastic performance from PSG! To be honest, I did not think PSG would be able to defeat Ac Milan because of how poorly they performed in their most recent Champions League match against Newcastle, which even made me think it would be extremely difficult for PSG to defeat Ac Milan. However, PSG defeated Ac Milan 3-0, a goal that Ac Milan was unable to score back. However, even though I know that Ac Milan is a formidable team with high goal scoring ability, I still believe that something is wrong with them. That's why I was surprised when PSG defeated Ac Milan with three goals without answering with a single goal of their own.


Young guys really give it their all to ensure a draw at the end of the game, but the Manchester City team is much stronger than the boys. Even just by watching them play, you can tell that they gave it their all. The most unexpected player of the game was Haaland, who scored two goals. This indicates that Haaland is still a capable striker, and it will be difficult for him to improve. However, one weakness that Haaland has as a striker is his inability to move the ball or even dribble before scoring a goal. While many people have compared Haaland and mbappe, I believe that mbappe is superior to Haaland.

Group F is one of the hardest groups since teams there are close to each others in terms of performance and domestic results. All of them are fluctuating in their leagues and dropped from their last season ranking until now.
PSG victory against Milan with 3 goals to 0 was good and quite surprising. The defeat of Newcastle in their home was also unexpected especially that they failed to score.

Group E is also interesting with Feyenoord picking for the moment the first place from Lazio and Atletico Madrid!

Everything happened exactly as it was originally supposed to, this is the most difficult and most interesting group in this Champions League. Well, Dortmund surprised us very pleasantly yesterday, and even though for half the match they simply kicked the ball away from their goal, the beauty of football is that any strategy can work here. Newcastle had a very good chance to level the score, especially at the end of the match, but Dortmund survived, and Milan looks like it will remain in last place, the opponents are too strong...

Two matches in Group F were quite interesting last night. AC Milan lost badly to PSG and Newcastle lost by one goal against Dortmund. AC Milan vs PSG match could be more interesting so I seriously watched the PSG vs Milan match but AC Milan didn't play even a third of the way PSG played against AC Milan. AC Milan kept the ball at their feet for very little time in the match and they could not create goalscoring opportunities against PSG. PSG scored another goal against AC Milan but the goal was disallowed by the video assistant referee as a PSG player made an illegal tackle on an AC Milan player before the goal was scored. With one goal butt and psg managed to score three more goals as a result psg won this match with three goals clean sheet.

exactly! Group F is a hellish group. On the third day all four teams still have the possibility of finishing first in the standings, even if it is very difficult for Milan to do so they can still finish second in the standings, and this is also thanks to the victory of Dortmund against Newcastle which still keeps hopes alive for Milan, if Newcastle had won practically for both Borussia Dortmund and Milan it would have meant an almost elimination from the Champions League. Now the return matches will be very exciting in my opinion

The current standing for this group.

PSG 6 pts
Dortmund 4 pts
Newcastle 4 pts
Acmilan 2 pts

The chance for acmilan becomes even lower since the performance from this club is always going down. I can't even describe how bad the performance from acmilan but it playes even worst. There are so many non effective attack from acmilan against PSG.
PSG was able destroying acmilan with huge margin while in another match dortmund was also able beating newcastle with narrow score. It's very bad result for howe's squad. The second leg will become the best time to take revenge against dortmund.

The chance owned by newcastle to pass the group stage is still very big at this moment. I don't care so much about this but it seems like that if dortmund may also able to take the second spot.

Looking at the previous match, PSG was indeed able to beat Dortmund in the first match of the Group F phase. After that, in the second match, PSG was defeated by Newcastle with a score of 4:1 and surely many people thought that Newcastle would win the Champions League match after successfully beating PSG 2 weeks ago. We all know that in football there are always surprises, the longer it goes on, every player experiences a decline and Newcastle is experiencing that now, it is possible that the stamina of the Newcastle players is experiencing fatigue because Newcastle has just faced a match in the domestic league against Crystal Palace with a score of 4: 0 After 5 days he had to face Dortmund, even though they dominated possession of the ball, in fact Newcastle did not manage to score a single goal against Dortmund and Newcastle had to accept their first defeat at home.

Manchester City spared players in this game because they have an important game in the Premier League, and as in the Premier League they are in a dire situation where they are in second place but there are 3 to 4 teams with equal points to them and their next game will be against manchester united, despite being a terrible team, they will still be very motivated to beat manchester city and a defeat or draw for manchester city against manchester united could make tottenham further away from manchester city and arsenal and Liverpool passed Manchester City, which would begin to create a scenario in which Manchester City would have great difficulties in winning the Premier League again. I confess that as I had put Manchester Citu to win, when I saw the squad that would play at the beginning of the game

At the same time I told myself that this would be a difficult game and that there would be a real risk of losing my bet, because for me at that moment when I saw City's initial squad, all that came into my head was that City were coming. in this game to get a draw because they were sparing players. I was very relieved when City scored the second goal, because with that all they needed was to be strong in defense, luckily I won my multibet bet, it was a good game to watch, as always Manchester City have a very beautiful way of playing , anyone who watched Manchester City games sees this. Barcelona is currently also having a beautiful way of playing

Yesterday I preferred to watch the Barcelona games against Shkhtar and the Manchester City Young Boys game, they were two very good games, and they didn't make me regret watching them. Of course, I also bet on Barcelona and Manchester City, so I was rooting for them and their victory makes me happy. but then I followed the results of the other games, I confess that I am surprised to have seen that PSG beat Milan and they did not concede a single goal, there were 3 goals in total, Milan once again showed the same instability as last season. It seems to me that the expectations I had of them were exaggerated.

If we think logically it is very strange looking at the picture you put in this reply, it a bit interesting because the three clubs are turning against each other and actually this is not about strangeness but this a competitive rivalry when all the clubs in a certain group will continue to compete to beat each other. to maintain the top position to be able to qualify for the next round and what you say is real win that the competition looks very competitive in group F which has several big clubs who will continue to compete to maintain their position.

The competition is starting to look fierce in Group F because the four teams still have a chance to qualify for the next round, especially if in the next match Milan can reply to PSG by winning on their own turf. Likewise with Newcastle when they return to compete at Dortmund's home, observationally it might be a little more difficult for Newcastle, but interesting surprises can always be present in Group F because all the teams have almost equal strength.

This Manchester United team is one team I cannot predict on,they find it so difficult to win matches,and even when they have won a match,defending that winning seem so hard for them
I don't know what Ten Hag is doing,but through out this season,I haven't seen any time that I can say Manchester United are  very sure of winning.It looks as if they are being able to grind out wins now because they are facing teams that lack winning spirit as well,if they should face any side that is very strong like Newcastle and Brighton or Aston Villa,they will definitely lose against those sides because they aren't playing the best of football.It is high time Ten Hag knows his first eleven,and use them in every match so he would be able to win matches on a weekly basis.
