Going to the next stage from this group can't be hard for a team like Real Madrid but I think they will have problems in the next games after that because Real Madrid is hardly dependent on one palyer and after the loss of Benzema they couldn't have another good striker but instead, Real Madrid trying to use Jude Bellingham for everything and even for scoring goals which means they will have many problems if they lose this player and not if he gets injured in Real Madrid.

That's probably become easy game for real madrid soon. I meant real madrid was able beating napoli away and it  doesn't even make sense if real madrid will be struggle in wiping the remaining opponents in the group. Real madrid needs to perform better strategy than before. Ancellotti in the mission to be a winner in the group. Napoli is not yet stable at this moment and it needs also compete with another club to make sure the club will be able to finish under real madrid.

Real madrid is too strong for the teams on its group. No doubt madrid will able to pass the group stage easily even without beast striker. Im feeling so amazed by it.
Waiting for bellingham and vini to go back in actions again. These guys are so amazing after they have bound each other.

Vini is always helping bellingham a lot while bellingham is also adding as many goals as possible for the club. The rest of the game will become easy game for real madrid. It's impossible to expect real madrid will struggle for the rest of games in the group stage.

You got my point of view clearly but some other persons are insisting that Toni will be a short term solution to supplement the absence of KDB in the team. I don't know how effective this arrangement will be and for people to be suggesting for Citizens to bring a short term solution shows that the Citizens made mistakes in the past transfer window.
If I were the coach, I would not touch the squad that gave me FA cup, EPL and CL the same season. I would just repeat them for the next season. But Guardiola didn't think this way, rather he made some changes and brought in few new blood and it seems that the decision is not favourable to the club at this time. Although the season must started but then City should be city always.

I can agree with that. It was technically the toughest match of the group for Real Madrid. Even though Napoli couldn't make the best start with Rudi Garcia they are still a strong team on paper. They tried to resist pretty well here as well but Real Madrid won anyway. Of course it was big thanks to Bellingham. 

Anyway Real Madrid would probably finish this group in first place. I already see them one of the biggest title contenders as usual just as bookies are thinking the same now. They are showing them as the third biggest contender after Manchester City and Bayern Munich. But we never know. 

It's true that we still have the same thoughts regarding Manchester United's unexpected mistakes, but we don't need to worry about this because after all, Manchester United will definitely still do the same thing in the match against Copenhagen later. There is no guarantee that as hosts, Manchester United can beat their opponents and even if they can win, of course they cannot concede. If Manchester United still frequently concede goals, it means they are not ready for the competition because this makes their opponents more confident in beating them.

We know that for Galatassaray it is impossible to beat Manchester United but they managed to do it in the previous match. Likewise, Copenhagen must be very confident because Galatasaray can beat Manchester United, why not Copenhagen? So that's what the results of the match will look like.

Toni Kroos would do a lot of benefit to Manchester City considering how important he is as a player with Real Madrid.They have Kevin De Bryne injured from a long time and even when he will come back he will need quite some time to regain his last skill status so if they add another player with similar characteristics like him by getting Kroos that would be a good move from Manchester City and this exact move would remove a lot of headache from Pep Guardiola right now.They have lost two games in a row in Premier League Manchester City and this does not look good for their upcoming games both in Champions and Premier League.

Due to the absence of key players this season, the once-dominant Manchester City has crumbled, and Pep Guardiola will rebuild his club into an alternate configuration. Bringing in Toni Kroos won't help the Citizens; instead, they should look into various ways to sign outstanding players during the upcoming transfer window, which is one of the most effective ways to improve the team's performance. Toni Kroos won't try to leave Los Blancos this season; he wants to reach greater heights with the team that gave him his exceptional performance, accolades, and titles.

Finish on first standings position seems difficult for Manchester United remaining 6 points behind from Bayern Munich, seems good thing for Manchester United finish on 2nd position and need help upcoming match Bayern Munich success defeated Galatasaray. But most important with Manchester United have take three points against Copenhagen on next match if want get chance to 16 round. No doubt with Bayern Munich opportunity will qualify to 16 round and finish on 2nd placed is better for Manchester United although get difficult opponent team on 16 round. But have difference situation if Galatasaray can beat Bayern Munich or take one point on next match, will give difficult option for Manchester United about their chance to 16 round depend on their self winning with Champion League matches left or not.

I instead believe that Guardiola will be interested in young players that has long future to spend in the club. I also do not think that Guardiola will allow players like Gundigon and Mahrez to leave the club and in the end bring player as old as Toni Kross to play with him. His experience with Toni in Bayern is old enough to be forgotten and dwell on new people and new challenges.
In the other hand, Toni wanted to end his career in Madrid but was persuaded by Madrid management to help the club to play one more season. I am surprised Toni wants to continue playing. It is good and passionate although

The new interests me and since Toni Kroos is a player that has worked with Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich, moving to Manchester City have a good possibility of happening.
Being 34 means nothing. Toni Kroos, still has that ability to break down defense with his passes. That is something he can bring into Pep Guardiola's side. Besides, they've lost Gundogan and since left, no player has met his standards.

Pep Guardiola already brought in a yougin from Manchester City Academy he ( Lewis ,) is already doing well. Did had a good game against Arsenal but no matured enough in midfied.

Real Madrid definitely has the ambition to wipe out the remaining four matches with a win, so that they will get perfect points in Group C. Napoli has the opportunity to fill the runner-up position, and Braga will continue its adventure in the Europa League. It is difficult for Napoli to dominate Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, we know they lost at home in their previous match. Group C is relatively easy to predict, because it is filled with two top clubs and two non-top clubs.

On the other hand, Ancelotti squad played quite solidly as a team. Regarding Bellingham, I think Ancelotti gave him a more attacking role and freed him from defending. So with a shortage of ideal pure strikers, Bellingham potential emerged and made an instant impact on the club.

I mean it is obvious that they need Kevin De Bruyne back, that would be the best case scenario for them, but without him I am not entirely sure if they will be able to win it. Not like there are that many teams doing great this season, but still without KDB they are not as good. That dude is the engine of their car, sure other parts matter too but the engine is the most important part and they should be looking for him one way or another.

I think the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that they are doing fine, and that would only happen with some sort of difference on the long run. So either they will win it, or they are going to end up being unlucky with their injuries and such which will result with them losing.

It looks like the group leader in Group C has already been decided.    Because getting a win in Naples was going to determine the leader in the group technically for Real Madrid. Because I expect Real Madrid to win all the remaining Braga and Union Berlin games ahead above all else. After that I guess that Real Madrid wouldn't surprise me by losing the lead to Napoli in Santiago Bernabeu. 

Real Madrid seem more credible to me to play bigger this season. I'm saying this even though they had Benzema last season.

Because there is a much bigger progress in their performance compared to that season. Bellingham has changed this team a lot too but I like the team effort more at the same time.

Let's also look at the teams they have played against, either in the Champions League or in the Premier League in their last few matches. In Group G, the only team that was giving enough trouble was Leipzig, the other two teams were not equal opponents for TheCitizen. However, Leizpig is still not an equal opponent for City and it was proven that in the first meeting at Leipzig headquarters, Marco Rose's squad lost with a score of 1-3. even so, Pep still rotates some of his players.
For me, City's performance is not as you say. It's just that the expectations of this team are too high. because usually, last season City was always able to beat the opposing team with a fairly large score.

but now, the situation is a little different. Mahrez and Gundohan are the two main players who have left. Plus, De Bruyne has a long injury, as does Stones, Bernardo Silva, plus Rodri who was suspended due to a red card. Not having many options, Pep Guardiola tried to play to the potential of the available players. The results were quite good, although not like when this team was full of their core players. Well, because of that, City experienced several problems and even lost in several competitions in which they competed. but not in the Champions League, their opposing team is too difficult to overthrow Manchester City. The time has come, if my guess or prediction is correct, City will again show their true playing rhythm in various competitions, especially the Premier League and Champions League.

As for Bayern, this team for me still has weaknesses. They are quite sharp on the front line, but in defense, especially the goalkeeper, is not very ideal. that's why, in the Champions League, in his two matches, Ulreich was not strong enough. conceded 3 goals by United, 1 goal by Copenhagen. This shows that their defense line is still not strong enough. If Tuchel targets this competition trophy, he must really prepare and cover every weakness in his team's squad.

Where expecting them to be able to defend the title before, if it is so, it means that you have misses it. You wouldn't use the past to judge the present or future in football, especially when we are talking about Man City who luckily win UCL last season due to luck. This is what people don't know that even the best team needs luck to succeed. If it was Real Madrid, I can say that it might be possible because they are the club that have only won UCL back to back, and they are the league favorite and not Man city. This was why I knew it, that it will be impossible to Man City to do what only Real Madrid has done, because they are not different from other clubs. It would have been boring assuming Real Madrid won UCL last season because the vibes will not be there that much, compared to when a new and different club entirely won it.

Well, the truth is I don't see Sevilla as strong, I don't know why everyone thinks they are very strong, quite the opposite, I consider that Sevilla was very lucky to have won the Europa League, the team that should always have been on the verge of This in this UCL is ROME, however you have to wait to see how their performance is. Sometimes this type of team performs well in the UCL, I don't know, but there it's like they put on a category and play better, but in the League they have not shone, it is not seen that they have made such a great and pro-advance, for this reason it is that when making comparisons with any type of teams we can intuit that more cannot be done, I would think about looking for a very good strategy So that Arsenal can secure their place, I see Arsenal much better, without problems, I have seen that their game is much more organized, I don't see that there is another better option, but now what we could find in these games is that they always Things can turn around at any time, but for now I see more quality in Arsenal, that's what I can see.

If we make a very strong comparison, we could find that Sevilla has lowered its level, it is not the same team that played that final in the Europa League, they do not have the same drive, they are playing because they won, but I think they really do not They are doing well, they have to improve, otherwise they will get out at once.

Sevilla fans know that they are not doing well, that they have to do a better strategy to see if they can excel, although everything in UCL is something else, there can be many ecoetions, they can play with players who were not in the title before just to try how they can do it, I mean this is something additional, what happened is that I have seen an Arsenal with better participation in football than they show, they are more dynamic, faster and I think they can score more goals, Sevilla I have I'm very asleep, I think he needs a better defense.

For the time being, the only candidates for the clubs that will get Champions League trophy again are Manchester City and Real madrid, but I also not ignore Barcelona and Bayern Munich who are currently just trying to be consistent to get additional scores in the group table.
However, this does not mean that other club will not get opportunity to become candidates for Champions League title, such as Arsenal, who are currently very enthusiastic about continuing to win and Arteta club has the advantage in every match even though they have been defeated once.
Maybe we will never know who will succeed in this Champions League, but what is certain is that we still have confidence that Manchester city and Real madrid will likely continue to chase the title.

I am no longer confident that Manchester city will be able to defend their champions league title this season. Other clubs are in top performance such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Barcelona is also doing great and even the Arsenal of English premier League is doing extremely well.
In the English premier League, Manchester city has not been experiencing top performance as they have lost their EFL cup against NEWCASTLE United and they also lost consecutively in their English premier League outing which I do not consider normal with Manchester city.
Manchester city needs to sit up their performance because the addition of a player like Jude Bellingham to the Madrid squad is scary because it has up their performance to another level.

Copenhagen is basically no higher in quality than Manchester United, but even so, Manchester United's performance is very unpredictable and they could lose due to unexpected mistakes. However, considering that Manchester United is playing at home, I don't think Copenhagen will have more chances to win even though so far Manchester United has not won a single point from two matches.

A home win is certainly more expected after two defeats from Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, but of course Manchester United have to work extra hard to secure 3 points. It is sometimes difficult for Manchester United to win matches that are considered easy to win, but this time they must win to increase the morale of their players.

United face Bayern Munich and Galatasaray and are yet to accumulate three points. Instead of drawing assumptions, we ought to confront our present reality. This season, Manchester United has not been in excellent shape; the team continues to have difficulties winning games. Erik Ten Hag is not going to rest until his team gets back to winning form because else, he will not have something to cheer about. If United wins against Copenhagen, their concentration will return to the test, allowing them to face their tough opponents with hope in the returning matches.
