Since Barcelona performed very well in this match and they won and were able to change their position in the points table. The strong attack of the Barcelona team and their performance enabled them to go to a good position, they certainly still have a lot of chances to fight for the Champions League title. Yes, Barcelona will face Brest in the next match, this match will be even more interesting because Brest is currently showing a very good performance in the Champions League. So Barcelona should not take the team easily, but if Barcelona has to collect points and move up, then they must be strong against the Brest team. If Barcelona is able to attack strongly, then they will definitely be able to collect three points in the points table and have a chance to win.

After beating Bayern with a score of 4-1, Barcelona is now showing its prowess again against Red Star and Barcelona won the match again with a score of 2-5. I am amazed by the performance of the Barcelona players who are now seeing it getting better. Of course Barcelona is proud to be able to take points from Red. Star because after all Red Star is the strongest team currently in the Serbian league which of course currently occupies 1st place in the standings.

The Barcelona players really worked together well in this fight and finally produced an attack that was difficult on hold Red Star to
in this match. I was also impressed with Lewandowski, because he was the one who scored the most goals. yes, the point is that now Barcelona is really improving in performance and what is certain is that now in the Champions League Barcelona will definitely be respected and in my opinion with the good performance Barcelona currently has, I definitely think Barcelona will be a strong candidate to become champions of the champions league because Real Madrid also won the Champions League last season and were defeated by Barcelona in Laliga.

The next match will certainly be no less interesting because Barcelona will compete against Brest. According to my prediction, Barcelona will succeed in beating Brest in the upcoming match in the UCL.

This is what makes Serie A clubs quite interesting. because they are not as many star players there as there are star players in Laliga and the Premier League. But what is quite impressive is that the quality of the Serie A clubs always manages to amaze us and of course they always compete strongly in the Champions League. Except last season. Because I think last season the clubs from Serie A were eliminated quite quickly. But this season they are starting to show again that they are ready to go further in the Champions League.

In the 2022-23 season we have a champion in the UCL from the premier league, namely Manchester City. And in the 2023-24 season we have champions in the UCL from Laliga, namely Real Madrid. And now we don't know whether the winner in the UCL will come from Laliga or the Premier League again. But I think it could be different this time. Although actually currently Liverpool and Barcelona look like the strongest candidates. But just like in previous seasons, there is always an unexpected team that manages to go further and reach the final round. I think this season that possibility will return.

Aston Villa lost by a penalty from an unbelievable mistake between their goalkeeper and defender. Three clubs from Premier League lost this week and Arsenal looks to have bad situation now. There are two other big clubs lost this week, Atletico Madrid and PSG and PSG even will have to leave Champions League very soon. They have risk that won't be qualified for play-off phase after this group phase and it seems their quality and competitiveness has considerably dropped in this season.

Clubs from Serie A already started to gain success three seasons ago and they are going to maintain it in this season. They don't have many star players like clubs from Premier League and La Liga but probably their good strategies for player transfers help them to gain good finance and their traditional good tactics helps them to succeed in Europe.

I agree with you on the hidden issues clubs have and if you not observant it could be a minor issue but that aside, Bayern Munich have been one of the best in terms of champions league football and you won't tell me that these are not the same guys that have been dominating Europe for quite sometime now, although we have few players who haven't won the UCL title with the club but they are still that Bayern Munich unless they have to make some changes like bring in new players. If it can be done players like Sane and Gnabry ain't suppose to be in that team, they have lost that sharpness to pass through defenders like they used to do.
I'd say this is the season where their defense isn't good enough and forget about stat, they always create chances and score less and that's Bayern for you. I won't blame their defense but the whole team, they seem tired like they have been exhausted and they need rest but they'd their problem to recover from if not they won't go far in this champions league.

3 teams from the Premier League experienced defeat, namely Man City, Arsenal and Aston Villa. And only Liverpool got the win. And what was surprising was that 3 teams from Serie A won, namely AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atalanta. And only Juventus got a draw and Bologna only got a defeat. I think the dominance of Serie A teams is likely to happen again, namely the same as in the 2023 season. But until now only Liverpool still has a clean record with 4 wins in a row. Will Liverpool make the UCL theirs this season? I think this season is really more interesting than usual.

We can't blame someone because he played on the team. If Mbappe plays badly maybe because his partner can't pass an accurate ball to him. I saw Vini also play a bit selfish, his missed shots several time, this is also affects on Madrid's performance. On other side, Milan was play brilliant and discipline. They are look understand how to dampen depending champions. Maybe because Milan knew how to overcome Anceloti's style to perform his squad. They both come from Italy, so that situation, AC Milan like don't have much problem to overcome madrid's attack. It also become a common habit if depending champion always play badly to next round.

I am beginning to praise the coaches of this generation or nowadays. It used to take some coaches one season or more in order for them to synchronize in a team and make them to begin win trophy or contest for one. This time around we have seen coaches like that of Liverpool and Barcelona even contesting to win their respective local leagues and doing well in the Champions League even if it is their first season. They need to be praised and I will look out to Manchester United Amorim if he can do so.

Could this be the best way to win. Many selections in one match.

Ok that makes sense, but is it a mistake if Liverpool continues to perform optimally? Or is there a club that is worried about the external aggression carried out by Liverpool in every UCL and EPL competition, they must be admitted this season has been a nightmare for any team. Setting the tempo of ups and downs of performance is unpredictable precisely when you are in the most ideal situation then at least take advantage of the opportunity before it is taken by someone else. Remember this is a football competition and any team will definitely want to continue to show their best dominance in every match.

I am more careful to place a bet on today's match because I am worried that the surprise will be repeated again like yesterday's match and yeah in the first match between Shakhtar Donetsk vs Young Boys I combine several choices in one bet slip with odds @6.89 I avoid betting on 1x2 because it can disrupt my bet. By the way, Aston Villa lost in today match, their performance is bad since the last 3 matches and always lost but fortunately they can still compete in the Champions League.

It was indeed disappointing to see Real Madrid lose to AC Milan, especially considering the impact on fans and bettors who likely had high hopes for the team and were eager to see a comeback. Nevertheless, Real Madrid has the resources and talent to bounce back from this roller coaster of defeats. By blending the experience of veterans with the potential of their young talents, Ancelotti can create a more balanced and dynamic team that can handle the challenges ahead.

Let's not jump to conclusions, but undoubtedly Liverpool is simply excellent at this stage of time. But this is exactly the main danger, that Liverpool is showing such a game too early and does not expect the team to decline then, which can negate all the fervor that the team demonstrates under the new head coach with his new ideas for the team's players. This is not the first time such situations have happened and they happen very often in football. That's human nature.

No issue in football can't be pointed out. All you have to do is look close enough. Most times it's not just a single issue. Different issues can be wrong and a club can suffer for it.
Sometimes, it could be just a simple dip in form that is caused by different factors.
For Bayern one of their issue is that they're not clinical enough and their defence is not that good. After the matches today I looked at some stats on the UCL website and I saw that Bayern Munich has created 81 attempts, but scored 11 goals. They should be scoring way more than that. Harry Kane is the only clinical attacker they have. Gnabry, Sane, Coman and Musiala are not that clinical.

Another problem is their defence. If you want to be missing chances, you have to make sure you don't concede. We saw how the defence struggled against Barcelona. they need to work on both these things and they might get better performance.

Arsenal have been seriously poor of lately and they seriously need to improve to revive their season back, to me this is the perfect time to access their coach to know maybe he can take his darling club back to his glory days, a back to back lose streaking is something that we see many clubs experiencing this week with power houses like Madrid and Manchester City also been victims but they are still in Better position than Arsenal in terms of Winning any trophies in case they bounce back. Seriously the Arsenal defense have been shaky lately with it been the best defensive side before the start of the season and the first few matches but right now they need to do better. Also arsenal are actually passing through difficult times with the absence of Odegaard.

Surprisingly, Aston Villa has their first loss match in the Champions League tournament to Club Brugge. It's only Liverpool that has stayed unbeaten in the 4th game of the Champions League. Who knows whether they will have their first Champions League lost match to Real Madrid. Although they are to be the host team of the match. I don't know whether that will be an advantage to them in the match because Liverpool hasn't won Real Madrid before in Champions League matches. They have lost up to 7 times to Real Madrid, with 1 draw. This should be the time for Liverpool to have their first win against Real Madrid since they are more in form than me. Real Madrid are not at their best form.

Well, that's why I doubt Arsenal's match against Inter. Although Arsenal dominated the game, especially in the second half, they always had difficulty converting their chances into goals. They had a lot of shots in total, unfortunately none of them were able to become goals. Arteta should have changed his pattern and system again, because the results did not go as expected. Although they dominated the game, in fact they had difficulty scoring goals. I hope Arsenal wins this match, but the results are not as expected. I hope Arteta re-evaluates his pattern and system again, especially since Odergaard has been played again even though only for a short minute. Hopefully, Odegaard's return can return Arsenal's performance to its original path. In another match, Bayern won narrowly and Barca as I expected. At least, Barcelona has remained consistent so far.

I love how a lot has been able to harness productivity and performance across all the leagues in which they are participating this season, the previous season with klopp was nothing short of this and now here's a lot continuing in same light and almost hoping to outdo it. it's very likely going to be a memorable one for Liverpool both in the champions League a d their domestic league. I will not be certain about their chances in the champions League but you can't express same with the champions League.

Actually not only this match. even in previous matches specifically in the Champions League, Barcelona beat Bayern Munich with a score of 1 - 4 and also Young Boys with a score of 5 - 0. so, there is no doubt about how Hansi Flcik is with his club Barcelona this season.

And now, Barcelona is in 6th position, quite a significant increase. And until now, Barcelona has become the club with the most goals in the UCL so far.
Barcelona: 15 Goals
Dortmund: 13 Goals
Bayern Munich: 11 Goals

Meanwhile, several other top clubs that are still in a slump, very slump, are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and also PSG, who were just defeated by Atletico Madrid 1-2, even though PSG was able to take the lead first, but the last goal in extra time by Angel Correa really turned things around.

Crvena Zvezda vs Barcelona (5-2):

Here we go again. Barcelona got the 3 points in relaxed, calm, and decent style. Hansi flick has played a beautiful game to defeat his opponent with a 5-2 lead. From the beginning of the kick off Barcelona looked so cool they are just dominated the game with possession until I. Martinez broke the deadlock of scoring. But soon Crvena Zvezda got equalizer with 1-1. After that Lawandoski scored two goals, as well as Raphina and F. Lopez scored single goals. 
 
Now Barcelona has the top of the group standing with 9th points. I'm just super excited to watch out more and more of the brilliant form of the Hansi flick era. I hope this year we (Barca) will be the champions.

Even in Arsenal fullest form it will have been a difficult task for Arsenal go their and beat Inter Milan,  It was still a fair game because they only conceeded just one goal, Arteta Men was unlucky tonight to play with a strong a stronger team side Inter Milan.
