Maybe the Arne Slot era is different because since the beginning of the season Liverpool is still the strongest club and even until now their performance has not decreased either in the UCL or in the EPL, but we also do not know what will happen to Liverpool in the middle of this season until the final maybe as you said Real Madrid will return to its best performance again and become the main competitor for Liverpool in winning the UCL title I just hope they can meet in the final so that the competition in the UCL feels interesting.

Maybe you are right and maybe you are wrong because there is no guarantee whatsoever that the two will meet in the Champions League final this season. Arne Slot has brought many changes to Liverpool and so far Liverpool's performance has been very good and consistent, while Real Madrid is still fighting hard to qualify for the round of 16. Even if Real Madrid qualify, they will have to do it through the playoffs, but the challenge will not be easy in the last 16, quarter-finals or semi-finals.

It's nice to see that different teams can win the Champions League title in different seasons, meaning the competition is really tight. While Real Madrid are by far the reigning champions and they are the only team to have won so many Champions League titles, it is certainly a record that is very difficult for any other team to match.

We have Liverpool on their best run in first half of this season and things are clearly indicating they could be on pole position for the title race as well but still it's long way to go and ups and downs are also part of the game with knock out round has also never been easy for any team because thing could be more competitive for all.

No matter what happens or whomever Liverpool might have to face, I still believe Liverpool are equal to the task ahead, they have a wonderful team and a good coach to go with, besides they have had a very impressive first half of the season filled with great memories and i believe they can only improve on it but if it turn out to go bad for them then it would be very understandable because such occurrences often happen in football and Liverpool wouldn't be the first to encounter such issues . But for now I doubt if there's any team Liverpool can't go head to head with.

Real Madrid started the season not so great, they also sucked at La Liga for a while as well, but looking at how they are doing recently, we could say that they are back now. Which is a problem for all the other teams in UCL, doesn't matter where Real Madrid is ranked right now, they will beat the next two games, and they will be at playoff stage and after that they are going to end up with a greater return without a doubt. That's how it works and I believe we are going to do much better thanks to this.

I can see how Real could beat whoever they face at playoff stage as well, and I can see how they could end up with a much better result at quarter finals and so forth and even win the whole thing as well.

The Real Madrid am seeing now isn't all that certain that they can do that although I know it's take just a single game to get things working and spiced up because Real Madrid as you said are not in their best form and have been doing extremely bad in both competition also mbappe that everyone was expecting to add up some flair to the team has also been struggling seriously to fit in and if the connection doesn't work then I think Madrid are definitely going to struggle

There was when I will weigh into the argument of Real Madrid performance in the Champions League. That was in the past, presently since I have understood the strength Real Madrid exert whenever it is about Champions League, I no longer undermine their ability.

Real Madrid could appear weak in the eyes of many people in a particular season, but when it is about the Champions League they will wake from slumber. So whenever it is about the Champions League the most favorite to win it every season remains Real Madrid and every other teams like Liverpool would come in. So, no matter the performance of Real Madrid, give them their number 1 slot.

I know what you mean and until last year it was true that Real was the favorite in the CL every year, but there were other players in the squad who were responsible for this effect and almost all of them are gone. These were players like Benzema, CR7, Kroos or Ramos and when Real had a bad day, one of these stars had their best day and got a win for the club. In my opinion, in todays team lacks such players, neither Vini or Mbappe can do what Benzema or CR7 did back then. That's why Real Madrid is no longer the top favorite in the CL for me (apart from the generally bad situation).

At least, in football any result can happen including defeat and failure of Real Madrid is still possible. But indeed, because Real Madrid is a team with a very good winning mentality then ofcourse, even though Real Madrid is not in a good position but the fact is Real Madrid still in the title candidate team to get trophy. Of course, this is different from other teams, even though other teams are in the top eight, but they are not a candidate team for the trophy. This really proves that Real Madrid is a team that always manages to rise and other teams will always be wary of it even if based on the position in the standings,that Real Madrid is also not in a good position in the Champion League standings.

The competition in the UCL will always be interesting even though the team that will appear in the final is not Real Madrid, but for this season I am also still quite sure that Real Madrid can reach the final round if Madrid is able to pass every obstacle in the upcoming round. And for Liverpool itself, it is indeed a bit different from last season so that the Arne Slot era must indeed be considered a fairly good era for Liverpool, but as you said that we also have to see how Liverpool's condition is in the middle of this season and also in the second half of this season.

Hopefully they don't get crushed at the Knockout stage but your statement is a little bit contradicting..
Anyways they could surprise us once again and shut everyone/teams up Cheesy

, they've done it before, they can still do it again despite with the worst stats they had earlier this season but this time around it looks like Liverpool is really determined to keep it, i don't know if there will be any dips for them(liverpool), and so are other teams also desperate to get it just as them(thoough they won it so many times already), the pattern is to bring out new victor and it's looking like it if the tempo continues.

It'll be very disappointing to see Liverpool ousted from the UEFA Champions League competition in the first round of the knockout stages after their near perfect performance in the group stage. I don't think that will be happening because Liverpool this season have been very outstanding and will surely be getting an opponent that can't be able to match their strength so I expect Liverpool to at least reach the quarter finals or semi finals of the competition

Liverpool can be a tough opponent for any team in the Champions League this season including the Real Madrid team, but I still believe that Real Madrid will try to improve the quality of their own players in the rest of this season so they can compete with any team in the Champions League. And if Real Madrid fails to win the Champions League this season, I think it will not surprise many people because Real Madrid's condition this season is very different from previous seasons.

It really feels like Liverpool will destroy every team that step on their way for most people these days. I don't blame them, it is really difficult to think the opposite. Grin

However I also don't believe things are that simple in football... I mean we are talking about the Champions League right? One should never forget the Real Madrid fact here. No matter how good or how bad they play, they somehow find a way to get another trophy in this tournament. Therefore I always see them as the biggest title contender here until they are eliminated officially. League phase performances shouldn't be misleading. Many things change in further phases. Wink

Some teams play those more critical phases better than the others.

There will always be fierce competition in the Champions League and it has been happening since long ago so it will also happen this season.
Real Madrid is indeed the favorite team but we also have to look at the overall strength of the Real Madrid team this season and I think this season will not be easy for Real Madrid especially some teams that have developed rapidly this season will certainly be an obstacle for Real Madrid, one of them is Liverpool, they are very strong now and I think they will be the favorites to win the CL this season.

Looking at the overall performance in this group stage, Liverpool is indeed very worthy of being called a strong team to fight any big team. But this is only the first step and there are still many things that Liverpool must go through. So when they start entering the next round, we will see some bad performances that occur.
On the one hand, Madrid has always been a team that looks successful in the UCL and whoever their opponent is, Madrid is always the favorite. The reason is quite simple that Madrid has more experience and can always easily continue to the higher round.
If the system in the UCL is still the same as last season, I am sure Liverpool is no longer Madrid's toughest opponent.

Aston Villa played pretty well and he was in the top 5 Champions League and the match standings he would face in the 7th match was Monaco, my personal view was not a team that could be underestimated even though we saw that Monaco was at the lower level With Aston Villa but Monaco also has the ability to reverse unexpected situations in several big matches, but in the match in the match is to qualify for the next round, for a safer position in staring at the future is to be in the top 8 and Aston Villa is very possible out in the top 8 of the standings.

Some matches that Aston Villa won in the Champions League were unexpected. Before those matches started, we did not see Aston Villa as the favorite team to win. Still, they ended up winning. Many people did not believe that Aston Villa would perform well in this Champions League because they are new to the competition. Many just saw them as a lucky team that managed to qualify based on their previous performance in their domestic league.

Now that their next match will be against Monaco, I see Aston Villa as the favorite team to win because If we check their statistics and compare them, Aston Villa has a strong chance of winning. If they cannot secure a win, I expect a draw. However, it is also possible for Monaco to win, but their probability of monaco winning is not as high as Aston Villa's chances winning the game.

Aston Villa does not have much experience, especially in the Champions League they are still said to be new and only a few times but they get a position now is a very good progress for Aston Villa, even though they are not champions this season, this is an achievement pretty good for them.
Against Monaco to be the most difficult than his 8th match in this first round, which is against Celtic, I think they are more able to fight Celtic to get a victory in their last match, even if lost against Monaco it is not a problem, but the chance of victory is indeed owned by Aston Villa .

This season, UCL has undergone a change in the format of its game so that it allows for tighter competition to occur compared from the previous seasons, all this time, Madrid has been the favorite team to win the UCL but for this season they are starting to get a difficult journey after many player injuries that have befallen them, with their condition and performance of the their in the UCL now, In fact, we don't need to ask about the potential opponents force that by Madrid will face, but instead we need to ask how ready and strong Madrid this season to face many strong teams like as Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Intermilan and even Leverkusen with their current poor condition in the UCL?

Liverpool are now facing a serious challenge to be consistent, where they are also facing the problem of the departure of their main players Mo Salah and TAA. In the Champions League we know that sometimes the quality of performance alone is not enough to win the title, to be honest going through the Champions League requires mentality and luck. Reflecting on Madrid journey which at the beginning of the season did not look promising but little by little they moved in a better direction. The peak of Real Madrid can always qualify for the final in a dramatic way, considering that the Champions League journey is still quite long so there will be many surprises such as giant teams falling.

The matches in the last stage of the Champions League will be important for each team. The matches are also important for the teams at the top of the points table. A win or a loss will change the entire points table. The top two teams are Liverpool and Barcelona, not in very good form. It will definitely be a cause for some concern for them. Salah's departure to Liverpool can push Liverpool into danger and Barcelona's negative form in the Spanish league must be worrying them.

However, the positive thing is the return to form of Real Madrid. They are currently returning to their old form in the Spanish league and after a few days of rest, they won against Valencia in the first match. If Real Madrid can carry the form of La Liga to the Champions League, then maybe something good is waiting for Real Madrid. The Champions teams will surprise in the last stage, it is conceivable. There will be surprises for the big teams in the last two matches, it is natural.

Real Madrid started the season not so great, they also sucked at La Liga for a while as well, but looking at how they are doing recently, we could say that they are back now. Which is a problem for all the other teams in UCL, doesn't matter where Real Madrid is ranked right now, they will beat the next two games, and they will be at playoff stage and after that they are going to end up with a greater return without a doubt. That's how it works and I believe we are going to do much better thanks to this.

I can see how Real could beat whoever they face at playoff stage as well, and I can see how they could end up with a much better result at quarter finals and so forth and even win the whole thing as well.

Real Madrid opening this years match with the victory after success defeating Valencia at domestic league match after having crucial come back few minutes left before match end. But not easy for Champion League match although Madrid have two easily matches left but need waiting the other teams result for possibility directly qualifying or have to play at playoff round match. Left two matches left, Madrid will face firstly against Salzburg and the last games week against Brest, if can secure six points of two matches left Madrid having 15 points but need waiting the other teams result will Madrid finish outside the top 8th standings or not?

New Champion League format not only Madrid but also have Man City and PSG have drop outside the top eight standings place, most crucial position for Man City and PSG will face each other for upcoming match to secure the playoff round spot behind difficult for both teams reach the top eight or get directly qualifying to knock out round.

Matches in the seventh round of the league phase will certainly be decisive for each contestant progress to the round of 16. Several matches seem to attract a lot of attention, because they pit teams with almost equal strength against each other. Among them are the matches between Atletico Madrid versus Leverkusen, and PSG versus Manchester City. In my opinion, those two matches are the most difficult to predict compared to the other 16 matches.

If we could have predicted these matches last year, my favorites would have been very clear. However, this season both Leverkusen and Manchester City are failing to live up to expectations. Although Leverkusen have shown signs of recovery in the last few weeks, their opponent is a team in great form this season. Atletico Madrid are doing well in the league and Champions League this season. PSG, on the other hand, continue their embargo in Ligue 1, but their Champions League position is critical. Both teams are critical in the points table. PSG will want to take advantage of Manchester City's poor form and one of their biggest advantages is that they will play at home. Manchester City are one of the teams that have shown signs of improvement lately. It is very difficult to pick a favorite in both matches.

Champions League is always exciting and this season is no different. It is not clear if Real Madrid will make it to final but I think they have good chance if they can get past tough games coming up. As for Liverpool team is different from last season and time with their manager seems good. But it is very important to watch how Liverpool does for rest of season especially in second half to see if they can keep going.

There will always be fierce competition in the Champions League and it has been happening since long ago so it will also happen this season.

Player injury problems are an unavoidable problem, even for big teams like Real Madrid. That's what made Real Madrid lose consistency in the last few matches, which made them slump at the top of the standings, especially in the Champions League. But now the team is able to bounce back quickly, and even in the domestic league, they are able to seize the top position from Atletico. And the same problem is also experienced by Man City, but it seems that this team needs a longer time to be able to return to winning ways. and even they not only slipped far in the champions league, but their position in the domestic league also slipped. in the champions league Man city has been pushed far from the top competition klemsen, and if man city is unable to sweep the remaining two matches, they are threatened to be eliminated early in the qualifying round.
