Currently many doubt PSG in the Champions League. especially with their squad which is certainly different from previous seasons. what they can do is give the best with what they have now. their opponents are indeed strong teams, it clearly will not be easy to get wins from those teams. but football often gives surprises.

It's true that PSG's overall performance is quite strong with the help of Luis Enrique. However, this squad of PSG is not very strong. There are a lot of young players in the squad. And most of the players in the squad are inexperienced. And that's why I don't consider PSG as the favorite on the Champions League platform.

There is no player in PSG's squad at the moment who is capable of scoring regularly. Even if Dembele was able to play consistently well, PSG's attacking performance might have been too strong. And this is one of the reasons why PSG team will lag behind. Moreover, PSG has lost the top spot in Ligue 1. So Luis Enrique is under a lot of pressure at the moment. It will be difficult for Luis Enrique to give full focus to the Champions League at the moment.

Brest just did what they should have done so far. They haven't failed in more winnable games. Even beating Salzburg in such way surprised me honestly. But still there are 6 games ahead and nearly all of them are tough ones. Sad

It is really difficult to see Brest finishing in top 8 considering this fact. They need to play very extra you know.

I think they will collect 0 point against Leverkusen, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Maybe one point against the rest of the teams there. In that case I don't think 9 points would be enough for top 8 at all.

There are so many big clubs with disappointing results so far that maybe Brest could have a few more wins and could just go up. I am not saying they will be within the top eight, but top 24 seems like a quite big possibility for them, they would have to lose all six games to be not within the top twenty four.

I believe they will end up winning at least one more game and maybe get some ties as well, they have some teams they can battle out with and some which looks definitely like they should lose but we have seen favourites lose last time so there is a potential we could see it again as well. This is why I believe the best way to approach this would be Brest getting further. I do not know what they will do after they are within first 24 though.

I think a draw is the most likely outcome, but looking at the odds it doesn't look like the match will end in a draw. If I had to choose, I would bet on Barcelona. I know they rely on young players and their defense can be a bit sloppy at times. But when it comes to scoring goals, it seems Barcelona is still one of the best at the moment. Barcelona will be playing at home, which is an advantage that should give them a win in this match.

I agree with you. I would also go for a draw or Barcelona win. We can't underestimate Munich because they are one of the top teams in Europe and they are in first place in the Bundesliga. But looking at their performance I think Barcelona is a little bit better. Barcelona has a very good attacking line and a midfielder who can create chances. But they have a little problem in defense and this could be a game changer if Kompany can see Barcelona's weaknesses. I would also bet on Barcelona to win this match.

Munich is of course a very good team, they were always very good. This year their performance has increased again and they are playing better. We can say that they have managed to become the best team in the Bundesliga again.

But Barcelona is also coming up with a very good graphic after a long time. I think this year's favorite team is Barcelona. The team I would choose to bet on would be Barcelona, we have a little more time ahead of us, we will have to wait and decide

It is still too early to say that PSG will have difficulty qualifying for the round of 16, but if you look at the remaining 6 matches, it seems that PSG will have difficulty qualifying. because PSG still has quite experienced opponents in the Champions League such as Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Man City. Let's say PSG can win against PSV, RB Sulzburg, and VfB but with 12 points it seems difficult to qualify directly for the round of 16 unless PSG can steal points from one of these strong opponents.

This is just an estimate for now, but if Enrique can bring in some experienced players in the transfer market later, maybe this scenario will change. Because for now with the squad that PSG has, it seems quite difficult for them to compete in the Champions League even though PSG already has an experienced coach like Enrique, but we also know that PSG does not have the mentality when playing in the Champions League, that is the obstacle.

Seeing the opportunity for PSG to qualify for the round of 16 is still open. 8 teams with the best points from 8 matches will qualify directly. and 8 other teams can qualify through the play off. the opportunity can still be obtained by PSG from there. with luck, their opponents in the Play off later will not be very strong teams.
There are still 6 matches and many possibilities can happen. 7 teams currently get wins from the first 2 matches. the difference in points will not be far for each ranking. maybe a lot will change in the next 2-3 matches.

Currently many doubt PSG in the Champions League. especially with their squad which is certainly different from previous seasons. what they can do is give the best with what they have now. their opponents are indeed strong teams, it clearly will not be easy to get wins from those teams. but football often gives surprises.

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.

It's rather so early to say that PSG will find it difficult to qualify because it's just 2 games yet and they won one and lost one so they can still pull out surprises in their next fixtures even though they declined in performance recently but i still see them coming back stronger, they have a very nice squad and Luis Enrique is also keen on making sure that PSG make a good champions league outing this season since they have been making attempt on winning the title for a long time now but couldn't. The UCL fixtures are quite challenging because we can see some smaller clubs showing surprises in this early start so if they maintain same morale it may be difficult for some bigger teams to advance further.

This is an important situation to do for Madrid because apart from stabilizing the position in the standings, this match can also make their mentality even more improved before the El Clasico match in domestic competition so that Madrid with the current favorite must be maximized well for week 3 later.

This match is very important for Real Madrid. Because the Real Madrid team lost against Lille in the last match of the Champions League. So Real Madrid must win against Dortmund if they want to stay at the top of the table. At the moment, Real Madrid is in the 17th place in the Champions League points table. So the match against Dortmund is very important for Real Madrid. At the same time, Real Madrid will play against Barcelona after this match. Madrid will also need to win against Barcelona if they want to occupy the top spot in the La Liga table. It will be very difficult for Madrid to win two games in a row.

Now looking at the actual composition of the players Ancelotti will experience some difficult situations considering several players are definitely going to be absent considering Carvajal, Alaba and Brahim they are already difficult to expect because for Alaba and Brahim it is possible that halfway through the season they will recover and Carvajal of course we know his ACL takes time until the end of the season.

Courtois, Vini and Militao are also still recovering although they might be available for the game against Dortmund but this is still speculation depending on how their recovery goes.

So by looking at this situation it will be interesting whether Ancelotti will eventually be able to maintain their condition in terms of performance or not because after all this is a situation that will certainly be very difficult but this kind of thing is a normal condition for them because every year they always get the same problem. But even so, things like this are still a difficult situation because after all, with the current busy schedule, of course, conditions like this will have an impact at least for performance in several matches and it could be that big matches such as against Dortmund and Barcelona will be hampered.

PSG team is still in good shape, I don't know why people are saying that their performance has drooped. When I watched their match against Arsenal in their last champions league game at the Emirate stadium, they really played very well, in fact, they were very serious in the game, just that Arsenal defense is very strong, and Arsenal attackers are hungry for goals, and the PSG defenders were reluctant as the team were playing massive attack and massive defense against Arsenal; I think if the match was against another team, they can easily win the match because they played very well but unfortunately, Arsenal were lucky to use their opportunities well in the game to get two goals because they needed the three points since they played a draw in their first game against Atalanta.

PSG can still make it to the next round because they have potentials in the champions league because I think they will win enough matches to move up in the champions league table ranking.

The rate for Barcelona seems much lower than Bayern Munich and this can be how people expect to see Bayern Munich wins this match against Barcelona. However, both coaches Flick and Kompaney had good starts so far in the games we saw from them they were much better than we were expected to see from these two.
But still, the fact about Kompany is he is not experienced in the harder games while the main weakness for Barcelona is not having experienced defenders.

However, with Barcelona's position as host, it is quite natural that Barcelona is still the favorite to win this match. But somehow it seems interesting to choose a draw in this match. And I think many of us here are not sure about the choice. Either you have to favor the home team, namely Barcelona, or the visiting team, namely Bayern. Both teams seem to have started the season equally well with their respective new coaches. After replacing Xavi, we know that Hansi Flick has succeeded in bringing positive results for Barcelona in La Liga. And Bayern also experienced the same thing, which experienced another improvement after Tuchel was replaced by Vincent Kompany. But if we talk about playing style then honestly I prefer the style that Hansi Flick created at Barcelona. So I feel quite confident that Barcelona will play very well and make it difficult for their opponents who come to Barcelona's home ground.

Playing at home gives Barcelona more advantage over Bayern but Bayern shouldn't be underestimated because they are always different when it comes to Champions League. If you look at past records Bayern should be the favorite but we cannot forget the fact that Barcelona has younger brilliant and sharp players who are able to withstand any club and win them without fear. I think it will be a difficult match for them but a draw might be the case. It is the club with the best strategy that will end up winning the match.

Guys, what do you think about this season? Do you think we will see an unusual club making it to the CL title? Or will it be one of the clubs among Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich? Huh

Yeah I'm considering all the remaining clubs as unusual or whatever you can call it. Because if you have noticed for quite many years, these clubs have been stepping forward. Especially the king of the competition Real Madrid. Grin

This year, I see Arsenal being given more chance than Bayern Munich for the title for example. They would be pretty unusual considering they have 0 CL titles achieved.

However I feel like once again one of the 3 clubs I mentioned at the beginning will win it again.

If we refer to the current standings, maybe the champion this season is not from the three teams you mentioned. Because the top 7 teams that have collected perfect points so far are Borussia Dortmund, Brest, Benfica, Leverkusen, Liverpool, Aston Villa & Juventus. But we also need to remember that the 3 teams you mentioned are not ordinary teams, they can make a surprise at any time with the squad they have.

The current standings cannot be used as an indicator of who will win the UCL, the matches have only been played 2 times, there are 6 left for each team to advance to the last 16, the top 7 teams in the standings that you mentioned will be shifted at some point because the positions will continue to change. Of the 7 teams, 3 of them are Brest, Benfica, Aston Villa, I am not sure they will be in 8th position at the end of the standings. I am even more sure they will be eliminated. UCL now strong teams are required to fight at the beginning, this new format can be said to be difficult, teams that are not too dominant will be eliminated before entering the last 16. And regarding Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich or Barcelona, I still think that one of them will lift the UCL trophy.

I also feel that this time PSG will have quite a hard time getting straight through to the next stage. But that doesn't mean this team can't do it. It's just that they have to work harder to get it. And perhaps it is more likely that PSG will only qualify through the playoffs first. Let's see what matches PSG will face at this stage. The opponents they face will really make PSG lose points. For example, in the 4th match they will face Atletico Madrid, then in the 5th match they will face Bayern Munich and then in the 7th match they will have to face the most difficult opponent, namely Man City. So it will be quite difficult for PSG to get full points in these matches. But because this is the Champions League, it could turn out that our guess is wrong. And even PSG was able to qualify smoothly.

They tried and they were able to make it this far but the next level is going to be different since everyone will be playing aggressively to make it to the next level, if it is PSG I know they can not do it, do they have that energy to work harder the matches they will play next will be the challenge for them because we understand how champions league can be is not about how good you are but the kind of experience you have when playing the competition, another problem the opponent they will face the don't even know the kind of opponent they will be facing, no matter what they won't go easy on PSG that is what will reduce their chances of going higher, facing Atletico Madrid and Bayern then facing the city is just making more interesting.

How will they perform the kind of magic that will make them escape dropping points when they even get to the point of playing Manchester City there won't be any choice for them to end up accepting their fate because they can do nothing to Manchester City we are crossing them.

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.

PSG will reach the playoffs but they may have to play a few more games in that case. Dembele was absent from the match against Arsenal, this happened due to the player's conflict with Enrique. I think it's bad when a coach allows himself such decisions in such an important match for educational purposes, Enrique said that this sometimes happens when a player does not fulfill his obligations, but now everything is fine, he says that he acted in the interests of the team. By the way, PSG's attack really missed Dembele, but perhaps he is right that discipline in the team is important.

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.

Yes, they are good PSG players at the moment, maybe what he meant was the star players in it like Mbappe, Neymar or Messi while they are currently gone and the last one Mbappe left the team, he is the only star player who has a strong mentality among the others so that PSG's appearance in the UCL is not optimal, they are indeed not in doubt in the local league but in the UCL their chances are getting smaller than usual.

You know when PSG had Messi, neymar, Mbappe these players were consider as the main strength of PSG, they were the reason for winning of games and league title. PSG still have good players but these players be compare to the three players who are no more in the team. Messi, neymar and Mbappe were tough force of the team in champions league. Before the was considered to be one of the tough teams in champions. Winning the champions league have always been very difficult for PSG, making the team very tough with talented players should have been a target for them.

And even PSG was able to qualify smoothly.

I don't also see much hope for PSG at the Champions league this season unless magic happens. If Arsenal can crash them 2-0 at Emirate Stadium, whereas PSG have been known to be strong both home and away, I don't expect much from them this season. The big teams namely Bayern Munic, Manchester City and Real Madrid will easily overpower them judging from the bad performance they showcased against Arsenal. Assuming they still have Angel Di Maria in the team, then we could have expected some magic.

Well the hope they have is still 50:50 at the moment. We cannot be at all confident that this team will be able to easily qualify for the next stage. Different from when we talk about Real Madrid or Man City. then we will confidently say that they will definitely pass to the next stage. PSG, which has lost its spearhead, is becoming increasingly doubtful this season. And maybe PSG really should think about getting a new striker who can be a sharp spearhead on par with Mbappe. So that we no longer have doubts about this team. Against Bayern and Man city is a nightmare for all teams in the champions league. So for PSG this match will really be a difficult match. Unless PSG can win in other matches. So it looks like PSG's position will remain safe if they succeed in doing so.

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.

I don't understand how you are so confident with the team that PSG currently have. Not only Mbappe, but several players left PSG after Luis Enrique took charge of PSG. But the biggest change was Mbappe's move to Real Madrid.

After Mbappe moved to Real Madrid which player did PSG replace him or which player do they consider as a worthy replacement for Mbappe if you have a correct answer on this I hope you will share here. There is nothing to be so confident about this team. When PSG plays against the big teams in the Champions League, you will see how strong PSG is.

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.

Take a look at the games still awaiting PSG after their Matchday 2 defeat to Arsenal.

Three of the six games will be tough for them, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are tough opponents to beat. PSG chances of automatically qualifying for the next round are very small, the possibility of qualifying via the Play-Off route also depends on the points they are able to collect. They are still superior in Ligue 1, but when they are in the UCL, they will find it difficult to compete with other top teams.
