It's hard to be in a good position right now in the Champions with 2nd position with two wins, and I think they will continue to work optimally because they have finished two games well, their confidence is certainly good, I think the blow in the Champions still has a chance for them to pass this phase, but seeing them in the French League is very slow but on the contrary their good performance in the Champions is quite good, facing Bayer Leverkusen at home in the continuation of the Champions match I think they have a chance to win the match playing at home and also they are quite good at home especially Leverkusen is declining after their last match drew, I am quite sure this Brest team will pass this phase even though many people look down on them I think they will survive in the next phase. Brest is indeed quite tough and also a tough meeting they will face Barcelona and also Real Madrid but seeing Real Madrid has also been defeated by French representatives before I think they also have a chance to do that the fact is Real Madrid has not been stable enough this season compared to before I think Brest will present many surprises in the Champions event this time.

Bruh, you wrote 10 lines of text ignoring two things that I specifically highlighted
- they played two of the weakest teams in the competition, both with no victories in two matches
- they will face 4 tough teams in the next matches

Do you really think that team that got trashed 3-0 to Auxerre, 5-1 by Marseille, and 3-1 to PSG will miraculously beat Real Madrid and Barcelona or even manage to get some points from Bayer or PSV? Also, what's tough about them after all, look at their Ligue1 sheet, they faced 7 teams, lost 4 matches won 3, is that any sign of being a team that would end up in the top 8 in the Champions League when they can only manage place 11 in La Ligue with a negative goal difference? And more importantly, have you actually seen them playing?

Previous match.

Brest vs Sturm 2-1 (Sturm is a weak team, and Brest deserved that victory)
Salzburg vs Brest 0-4 (And Salzburg is also the same as Sturm which has a bad performance)

Upcoming match.

Brest vs Leverkusen (a difficult match for Brest)
Sparta vs Brest (Brest still has a chance)
Barcelona vs Brest (It won't be possible Brest to beat Barcelona)
Brest vs PSV (Against PSV getting a draw has become the best result for Brest, but it's very difficult)
Shakhtar vs Brest (a good opportunity for Brest to get additional points)
Brest vs Madrid (Something that is impossible can hold a draw or defeat Madrid)

From this statement I strongly agree with @stompix because Brest is actually not a team that is equivalent to the elite team at UCL. While some of the teams that will be faced by Brest are big teams that have a lot of experience at UCL. Of the 4 matches mentioned @stompix, surely Brest will lose 12 points and this will be an opportunity for other elite teams to shift Brest's position in the standings.

What do you mean by PSG not having good quality players this season? Are you saying that Kylan Mbappe was the only quality player PSG had? Most of the key players of PSG like Dembele, Marco Asensio and Lucas Hernandez.

With the current system to qualify directly without a Play-Off it seems difficult for PSG. Currently they are at number 19. So I think it will be difficult to qualify directly. But if it's for the League, then I think PSG is still quite good. They seem to have to work hard, besides that bringing in experienced players in the UCL is certainly a good factor. In addition, the mentality of fighting hard must be applied, so that their understanding has been paid dearly. Let's see if there is still a chance for them to go straight to the next round.

The situation that Bayern Munich is currently experiencing is certainly very beneficial for Barcelona, especially since Hansi Flick can now play several key players who were previously in the treatment room. The sharpness of Barcelona's front line in breaking through the opponent's goal is also a big threat for Bayern Munich, Kompany must be able to anticipate surprises from Barcelona who are in their best form. The factor of playing at Camp Nou and Hansi Flick's career history as a former Bayern Munich coach makes them more favored in this match.

Such talks have been made before the start of the season, it would be foolish for PSG to regret their squad now. They have seen that earlier with good quality players they could not compete hard with other teams in the Champions League so this season without good quality players how can they compete against the big teams in a tournament like the Champions League. At the beginning of the season I discussed this team that PSG will not do very well in the Champions League tournament. With PSG's current performance, there are doubts about them winning the league title. But if PSG is satisfied with this performance, we have to accept it.

What do you mean by PSG not having good quality players this season? Are you saying that Kylan Mbappe was the only quality player PSG had? Most of the key players of PSG like Dembele, Marco Asensio and Lucas Hernandez. These are still good players that are first squad even in their respective national teams. PSG is perfect in their local league just that they are yet to retain good status in European competition Although it is too early to say and I believe they still stand a chance at that because the competition is still very early.

PSG have always got this dominating trait in the domestic league with them winning over and over again in their French league but despite that show of muscles and supremacy at the league level they have had an inconsistent performance in the UEFA Champions League over the years. Since the 1990s when they were able to reach the semifinals, they haven't gotten any significant achievement in the UEFA Champions.

It is recently, in 2020, the club was able to make some mark by reaching the Champions League Finals against Bayern Munich but unfortunately, they lost the match to the opposition. In the tournament after that, which was 2021, they also reached the level of semifinals but were some more defeated.

We're talking about the UEFA Champions League this season, talking about elite clubs that are based on streak winnings and having spectacular stats in this particular tournament. PSG are no where near this phase because they're just classified as a competitive club that have ambition for lesser results, when it comes to the main goal, they're left outside because they failed completely to develop main strategy. No threats for Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue One this season, not only this current campaign but in the past decades, they've always been ontop and back to back recording of streak winnings. It will take more tough work for Les Parisiens to become a top club that prioritized winning the UEFA Champions League title, let's see what Luis Enrique have to offer this season.

Leipzig of this current champions league are not the Leipzig I used to know from the previous champions leagues,they are not performing very well this time around and they are making it obvious even in Bundesliga they have a lot of draws even though they have some wins , the draws were not what I was expecting from them...
At the same time looking their unsatisfactory performance, I can still some effort channelled into UCL than Bundesliga , they lost to zero in Bundesliga but in UCL there are some goals attached to their winning and so far they being playing big clubs though I didn't expect Juventus to have it so easy despite their effort for that game. They don't make it that far actually in UCL but they always give tough time to clubs guess that's not gonna happen this time around

Just maybe they aren't in their best form just yet and probably before the end of the season they will be in their best form to be able to get better but the challenge is they are playing in the champions league that is very competitive with their very little experience and not them been so experienced enough to be bale to handle the champions league to the point of becoming top contenders, it will be better they focus more on their domestic league as they will be able to do even more that way than they would have done and just get experience from the UCL.

Leipzig is actually a strong club in the Bundesliga but in the Champions League its performance is different, it tends to have difficulty competing with its opponents in the Champions League even though it always gets tickets to play in the Champions League every season but it seems like it doesn't have the strength to go further and often it stops in the last 16 or the last 8 and sometimes it only reaches the group stage and is finally relegated to the European league there too he also didn't play optimally, especially this season the competition is no longer a group he has to face several matches that are more difficult than the group stage so I think this season he can't qualify for the last 16 if he is not really serious about facing the UCL match.

Brest played against Graz and Salzburg, and they had an excellent draw in matches but they will still face Bayer next and Real in the last round with Barcelona and PSV on top of that, It is highly probable they will not finish even in the top 10 with their schedule! Anyhow, there have been only two matches out of 8 and some teams that are at the top are facing a nightmare schedule from now on while others like Bayern will have the last three games at Feyenoord, Shakhtar, and Bratislava and could easily win at least 7 points here.

Juventus did not get it easily friends, the match against Leipzig yesterday Juventus worked hard and they put all their strength to be able to beat Leipzig, if only Conceciao did not have the opportunity to do the goal the match would end in a draw, from the statistics of the game Leipjig and Juventus are very normal, meaning that there is no dominance of the game heavier to one team, only a few percent is very reasonable.
What makes me want to say the most difficult thing again is in the next match against Liverpool, which Liverpool is a pretty good team and if you look at the quality of the players, Arne Slot's players are better.

In fact, Juventus played very well in that match. Despite falling behind, they recovered in the second half. They also continued to fight without losing the balance of the game after receiving a red card and scored two more goals. At the end of the match, Juventus won 3-2. The next match for Leipzig will be very difficult because the opponent is strong Liverpool. I wonder what they can do against Liverpool. If they can surprise them, they will have an important victory to advance in the Champions League.

These are the odds.

There isn't that much of a gap and Barcelona are even favoured for the win.

So much has changed for Barcelona since the day Hansi Flick signed up for the job. They are a much stronger and more consistent team.

In the end, we are talking about a World Cup and Champions League winner manager. This doesn't guarantee that he will do amazing at every team of course. But he is signing for big teams and doing a pretty good work. Barcelona were even having really tough days in terms of achievement and finances both. He resurrected the team from that so far. For this game, I think they might even have their revenge from Bayern Munich. Grin

It doesn’t matter the odds, I know it is not going to be an easy game for Barcelona to defeat Bayern Munich because even as Barcelona are much better and stronger under Flick’s management, Bayern Munich are also a strong side under Vincent Kompany. Both sides have a good squad and a score to settle when they meet. I am anticipating this game because of how much it has been talked about. I hope we get to see lots of goals and thrilling moments in this game, this should not be a boring match.

That match will be very interesting and I am curious about that match because both teams are good teams of that tournament and players of that teams are best and they are doing well for that game . But I will support to Bayern Munich team and that team has good stat against Barcelona . But Barcelona team has capability to upset Bayern Munich because we are watching last matches of Bayern Munich in which they are not playing like champions and they should focus on their mistakes and they have to work on that to win this tournament.Araújo and D. Olmo are injured due to hamstrings and that point is in the favour of Bayern Munich and they will be happy after that and Bayern Munich has edge on that.

Injuries are part of sports and sometimes you end up with a worse result because you lose some important players but even with some injuries, they should have won the Lille game, looked very difficult for them to lose and they still lost.

Indeed, each team in football must face the injury problem. That's why a team who have busy schedule, they must have good number of players. If they have lack of players, it will be difficult to deal with injury problem.

I agree that Real Madrid should win against Lille although there were some injured players. It was unfortunate that Real Madrid as defeated by Lille. If we consider the squad quality, Real Madrid is much stronger than Lille. But Lille could play with good teamwork, so they can defeat Real Madrid. Sometimes playing football is more about the team work than the quality of the squad.

Quote from: tygeade on October 10, 2024, 03:06:54 PM

I understand injuries could be bad, but this is a team sport, not like they are playing tennis, when a tennis player is injured then they are out and can't get a result, but when a player of a team is injured they still have someone else replace him and they continue, and Real Madrid should have won this game. Right now there isn't anything they can do about it, they just need to move on and look for other games, and hope for the best to happen when the time comes, will be greater result.

Real Madrid lose may be unacceptable, but there are still some remaining matches. It is better to focus on upcoming matches than thinking too much about the lose against Lille. Sure, Real Madrid can't do anything to recover the lose. Just move on and focus on other matches.

There is no denying that in Ligue 1 PSG is a ruler who can always be relied on to win trophies, in the Champions League PSG is still not lucky. It takes a lot of patience and hard work to achieve success, money sometimes cannot make dreams come true instantly, so far PSG has felt that. Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munchen are the more favored teams, PSG must be able to compete with the three teams in order to have the same chance to win trophies, it is not a good idea to hope that the three favorite teams will experience a decline so that it will benefit PSG.

Currently, Enrique seems to be trying to change his approach in managing squad depth, no longer relying on one or two star players like in previous seasons. This can be seen from their policy of not looking for new players to replace Mbappe. If you look at Enrique's managerial quality, I believe he can offer success to PSG in the future, but of course everything takes time. Their chances this season are still very open, even though we know that in the last match PSG lost to Arsenal. There are still 6 more matches in the League phase to move one stage to the next round.

But so far from my observations this season, it seems Monaco are clearly a better side than PSG, as title might possibly change hands this season. But we can't overlook what PSG has built over the years, even though they where not actually building for the future. If we sit down to count the quality players that PSG has purchased over the years, then we will all agree that they are the spending type. We've seen plays like Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Di Maria, Messi, etc, all come and go, but still yet they where not able to lay hands on the UCl. That's why I've always believed that they don't make enough plans for the future, but they are good at figuring out a solution for the present.

And I noticed that they actually didn't use some of their top players in the game against Arsenal, but I really enjoyed what those young lads played. If only PSG can build and hodl this current team, then it might possibly be their turn some day.

Currently the journey to the round of 16 is still very far so anything can happen in their next 6 matches, so far Manchester City and Munich have only won one match and one draw, while the worse thing happened to Madrid with one win and also one defeat, but considering their ability, experience and mentality so far in the UCL, of course the three teams still have a great chance to qualify for the round of 16, the semi-phase round of the UCL league this season gives us a lot of surprises where some big teams actually have to lose to small teams so indeed the new format of the Champions League gives a slightly different nuance, Team Teams such as Madrid, Manchester City and Munich have always had high targets and that clearly puts a burden on the coaches, especially with the change in the current UCL format actually having an impact on their player injuries because indeed they have a busy schedule their to face.

With what happened in the last games of the UCL fixtures where some big teams like Real madrid, Bayern Munich and Atletico madrid lost their matches, am afraid if this season champions league will go the same as earlier predicted and considering this new format may make things appear even more complex for bigger teams to excel and of which we are already seeing it. Qualifying for the round of 16 is not really going to be an easy task because the competition is becoming tougher so for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City it won't be easy for them at all. This season we may see a lot of surprises from some clubs that are new to the champions league because teams like Brest, Aston Villa, Bayern Leverkusen and Benfica have all won their first two matches in the champions league.

One game loss will not matter, because they still have games to play, and I am confident that Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Athletico Madrid, as you mentioned, will qualify to the next round because they are dominating their leagues and even doing so in the Champions League. It is just that they are not favorites to win their second game in the Champions League, because they already have three points in the league. Nothing will change, and all of the big clubs that regularly perform in the ucl every season will still qualify to the round of 16. They couldn't be out of the ucl simply for the first round because I firmly believe they can still play well. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, arsenal, this club am sure they will qualify to next round. i really believes with them Nothing will stop them from moving to the next step. All the small club are trying and winning some matches because I didn't expect even Lille will get the opportunity of defeating madrid but that is football you can't predict always. Let see the tough games after the international break because madrid really have tough matches to play this month.

Despite Juventus's red card, they were still able to defeat the Leipzig club with a narrow 3 goals to 2. This is when I regard Juventus as a club with poor and inconsistent performance this season. Yet they were able to defeat Leipzig with a deficit of one player. The last time Liverpool played Leipzig it was a 5 goals defeat that Liverpool knocked the club with. Now Liverpool is expected to do the same or more especially now that Leipzig doesn't show any form of improvement recently.

PSG is not usually having good performances in the Champions League even when they have quality players in their squad. Leave with the French League 1 they knows how to play well, but when it comes to the Champions League, I don't usually hope on them because they will disappoint me.

PSG have always got this dominating trait in the domestic league with them winning over and over again in their French league but despite that show of muscles and supremacy at the league level they have had an inconsistent performance in the UEFA Champions League over the years. Since the 1990s when they were able to reach the semifinals, they haven't gotten any significant achievement in the UEFA Champions.

It is recently, in 2020, the club was able to make some mark by reaching the Champions League Finals against Bayern Munich but unfortunately, they lost the match to the opposition. In the tournament after that, which was 2021, they also reached the level of semifinals but were some more defeated.

With what happened in the last games of the UCL fixtures where some big teams like Real madrid, Bayern Munich and Atletico madrid lost their matches, am afraid if this season champions league will go the same as earlier predicted and considering this new format may make things appear even more complex for bigger teams to excel and of which we are already seeing it. Qualifying for the round of 16 is not really going to be an easy task because the competition is becoming tougher so for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City it won't be easy for them at all. This season we may see a lot of surprises from some clubs that are new to the champions league because teams like Brest, Aston Villa, Bayern Leverkusen and Benfica have all won their first two matches in the champions league.

I think it's quite the opposite. It's just 2 games out of 8, the team at the top might find themselves in 20th position after the next 3 game weeks. I believe the big teams still have a better chance of qualifying than the smaller teams.
Teams like Dortmund who have not lost any game still have Barcelona and Real Madrid to play.
Bayer Leverkusen still have to play Liverpool and Inter Milan. My point is there are still very big games coming up for all teams and it's too early to say the big teams might not qualify.

Also, what makes it easier for the big teams is that, if they can't make it in the top 8, they'll have a chance to settle it with a playoff and there's a higher chance it will be with a club they're bigger than which gives them a better chance of qualifying.

Real Madrid have lost some of their core players so it does raise a lot of doubts if they can overcome Dortmund's resistance later, but even so of course Ancelotti may have prepared a special strategy in covering up their weaknesses after losing some key players such as Carvajal, Militao, Vinicius and also anticipate Dortmund game in the match, so far Madrid has lost many of its star players while Dortmund I thinks there are still weaknesses that Madrid can take advantage of later because of their inconsistent performance so far, I think both teams will play with the same ambition to win the match so that a draw is the most realistic thing to happen in end match.
The Barcelona vs Munich match is one of the matches that I am most waiting for, although so far Munich has a good record when meeting Barcelona, however, the condition of the two teams, which I think is quite balanced and also consistent at the moment, allows us maybe to see an exciting and tight match later.

Injuries are part of sports and sometimes you end up with a worse result because you lose some important players but even with some injuries, they should have won the Lille game, looked very difficult for them to lose and they still lost.

I understand injuries could be bad, but this is a team sport, not like they are playing tennis, when a tennis player is injured then they are out and can't get a result, but when a player of a team is injured they still have someone else replace him and they continue, and Real Madrid should have won this game. Right now there isn't anything they can do about it, they just need to move on and look for other games, and hope for the best to happen when the time comes, will be greater result.
