Because they have a really powerful player like Mohamed Salah. And it is not just about him. Their squad quality is really high now and everyone at the team is capable of scoring or making a big contribution in another way.

Mo Salah has an issue of not been consistent all through the season, he starts brilliantly then all of a sudden he stops scoring and after some weeks he resume scoring. Or he starts poorly then pick up as the season progress. I just hope this season would not be like that for him because if Liverpool are to win any silverware this season, they will need him.

Liverpool plays brilliant football, they are one of my pick to win it this season also. I just believe the trophy will be retained in England. All best managers are here. This is the toughest league now and are worthy of producing the champions of Europe. We also have very talented players in the Liverpool team, Mene do has his role to play as well.

Moh Salah has been a fairly consistent player with Liverpool for the past few seasons, dismissing rumors and rumors about a one season only because of previous speculation that Moh Salah could only be consistent in his inaugural season at Liverpool. Moh Salah's consistency continued in the champions league by contributing one goal against Atletico Madrid and the achievement of three points made Liverpool successfully advance to the round of 16 and have the opportunity to become group winners with maximum points.

Perhaps it could be said for Salah in previous seasons that he lacks consistency and stability and does not play all games at the same level but this season he plays fantastically and is unstoppable in all matches.
I think Salah is currently in the category of 3 or 4 best footballers in the world, and with him Liverpool has a very good chance of winning the Champions League again.
Other obvious favorites are Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern, PSG and Real.
A very uncertain competition awaits us again.

PSG played an away match against Leipzig last night and missed the chance of beating them. It ended by a 2-2 draw. This kind of results are not very good for PSG if they really want to win the title this season. Maybe they won't have much problem on advancing to the next round. But they need to perform much better than this to be assertive about winning the title.

Mbappe missed some easy chances, he managed multiple times to slip from leipzig's defense with his super speed and made their defenders seem running in slow motion, but he couldn't score and secure the win and leipzig manages to equalize, things aren't looking good for PSG in CL this year, I don't expect them to go far.

actually in this match I prefer leipzig's performance both in attack and defense.
I felt in this match PSG were not like they used to be and as you said they wasted more chances and this is actually very detrimental.
It's a shame that leipzig's first penalty missed because I really wanted to see them win this game

PSG's next match will be away to Manchester City, even though they lost in that match, I think PSG's points in Group A are still safe.
but they had to fight against Club Bruges in the last match of the group stage,because Club Bruges still have a chance to qualify if their next fixture can win the match.

I think it will be a big match. The first leg Man City lost 2-0. But looking at the next match I prefer Man City's style of play will better tahan first leg . The second game will be different maybe Man City will win. They will play in England. Of course, the victory this match will deliver Man City to qualify for the next round. While PSG also have to watch the match between Brugge vs Leipzig. If brugge lose then they will calm down a bit. But if Brugge win then the decision will still be in the last group match.

Manchester City must be extremely mobilized in this game, because winning will remove all questions about reaching the next stage of the tournament and ensure first place in the group. Moreover, the desire to recoup for the defeat in the previous match with Paris Saint-Germain should be mixed with the factor of the home stadium. However, Brugge still has to win its match with Leipzig, which by no means looks like an unconditional result and Leipzig will certainly want to intervene in the fight for at least third place in the group in order to leave some chances for the Belgian club to continue the fight for getting into the next stage of the Champions League.

Tough choices ..

it's like a must for manchester city to win against psg next CL matchday , i dont know... im just thinking that mbappe might could always be a huge threat and scored some beautiful goal later .
Psg to win for sure, no chance for manchester city to win the game even if they play at home in front of the (fake) fans Grin

yet manchester city might failed to get through the next phase and the mission failed to win champions league trophy.

Liverpool are still the most impressive team in this tournament for me. Because their way of playing is really awesome. I really like to watch teams like their game plan is offensive rather than a defensive one. And Liverpool are one of the best teams when it comes to the offense side. Because they have a really powerful player like Mohamed Salah. And it is not just about him. Their squad quality is really high now and everyone at the team is capable of scoring or making a big contribution in another way.

However, the possibility of PSG qualifying for the next round will be even greater if the away match vs Manchester City end in a victory so that both Manchester City and PSG will certainly qualify for the next round.

There are some injuries in PSG squad and some of the key players in that team. With Verrati and Messi out of the game, I think chances of City thrashing PSG should be a good one but still there is a long time before the match so possible that those injured might be back for the game.

Also even if PSG loses their next game and Brugge wins their game, PSG will still have a chance to qualify as they have to defeat De Brugge in the last game of the group stage then.

You didn't observe closely,the Fred and Mac tominay combination did work against Tottenham, also Cavani dropped/dropping deep to support midfielder's in that game,Paul pogba wasn't in that game, Rashford wasn't a starter their.
Changes were made in Atalanta's game which resulted to the draw and the home side scoring and being ahead of us twice.
Records were kept Manchester United has never lost in Italy to an Italian side,and Cristiano Ronaldo has scored Atalanta several time since his move to Juventus.

Ole will have a little challenge with players regarding this new 3-5-2 formation. He played his favorite pivots of Mctominay and Fred, with Bruno Fernandes ahead. But he always want to bring that flair in the midfield that why he will want to bring in Pogba. But recently, the French has not been in form and he is also suspended. This new formation will definitely put many wingers off and it is not funny. Ole wanted to experiment pairing Marcus Rashford with Christiano Ronaldo. But they didn't not play well together, and it is beginning to show that the team is build around Ronaldo.

The Manchester City vs PSG match will be the match that will determine whether PSG will qualify for the next round easily or not. But I think PSG and Manchester City will both qualify for the next round if the next 2 match end in a draw.

I don't think club brugge will win the next two match in the group stage against PSG and RB Leipzig. However, the possibility of PSG qualifying for the next round will be even greater if the away match vs Manchester City end in a victory so that both Manchester City and PSG will certainly qualify for the next round.

There've been really terrible weeks for Dortmund in the Champions League lately. Because they lost to Ajax by 4-0 and 3-1 two times in a row. And while they were like this, Sporting were finishing Besiktas by 4-0 and 4-1 consecutively. After these results, Ajax have guaranteed promoting to the last 16 round. And it seems like Dortmund won't guarantee their job so easy as they have the same points with the third Sporting now. If they manage to defeat Sporting away, then they will be comfortable.

Klopp just wanted to qualify that's all and that's perfectly understandable so they can focus on premier league while giving some of their other players a chance to shine against big teams still in the remaining 2 games.

Sending off Felipe before the half time was the game changer had he remain on the field Altletico could have make a comeback, of course Atletico is always a run for their money against Liverpool anyday, I am not surprised despite one man down Liverpool pressed harder to score more goals but couldn't, Altletico stood their ground, however I dislike some condemnable antic and attitude of some Atletico players who want to bring the game into disrepute, kudos to the referee for handling and good officiating as well taking charge of the match.

Yes before the last 2 weeks the record was really good against Liverpool 2 draws and 2 wins, which is probably at the time one of the best records for a Spanish team vs Liverpool.

But now they got their revenge and the record is 2-2-2. Very evenly matched I would say.

I also thought the red card was a bit tough but I agree. Refs and the game are in so much bad light these days I think this will remind players to respect the man in black.

I believed in Manchester United to win their game against Atalanta last night but they were barely able to get one point with a goal came in the stoppage time.

You believed! You must be a very rear fan of Manchester United if you are actually. For me, I never for one second thought of them winning a team like Atalanta, especially with the team playing from a home side where they would be all in on the game. The best Manchester United could have got out of that game was the result they got last night, a draw. It's just how it is and they were very lucky to have had CR7 make those last minute goals.

Quote from: Pulsar77 on November 03, 2021, 02:14:00 PM

Ronaldo was the savior of the team in this game indeed. His 2-goal performance was really impressive for me and most people I guess. I really like to watch this version of Ronaldo. Maybe he is 36 now but he still makes a big effort and tries to show a big performance. And he did his work superbly in this one.

You know, at times I hear people say CR7 is aged and I laugh. I laugh because, its a thing about football fans to criticise when the expected result don't seem to surface. Yeah, his aged but, his still good on the pitch and the best player on and for any team. I feel for him for being in Manchester United, I don't think it's a team for him neither is Ole a manager that could help him to his potent once more.

Actually, my favourite team are not Manchester United. Grin

I believed in them because I saw a really solid Manchester United against Tottenham in the Premier League before this game. They simply destroyed Tottenham away by 3-0. And Ole tried a new game plan also (like preferring two CFs, Ronaldo and Cavani). And it really worked! I hoped to see it working against Atalanta also. But it turned out that Manchester United struggled a lot. I was wrong about believing in them.

Manchester city vs Paris SG will not be an easy one at all. At this juncture, I so much trust Guardiola. He hardly takes humiliation twice but if he does he will surely come back. Tuchel wanted tried it in England and succeeded just twice.
I don't think the France side will be twice lucky.
The Citizens are coming for win and nothing less than win. It will not be easy but it's a win.

Pep Guardiola once said that PSG players are feared a lot because the quality of their players is so good so Pep will still try to win back in the second leg at home but I'm not so sure even with a draw this match will be possible in that result.
Mancity and PSG are big clubs with many star players it's just how it is from their respective strategies and I believe Pep rather than Pochettino but the PSG coach will be confident in the players he has even if he plays away but PSG have great players, but we'll see the results and still long to be seen.

Indeed that match is a very tough match to watch,it will be one of the most interesting matches to see in this year's UEFA champions league.Manchester city is full of quality,same as PSG,but what I think will be important is the strategy,formation,and tactics they use in playing.
The match looks tough,but I think is going to be an easy one for Mancity to win.believe me,that game is a win for City.

I'm not sure about AC Milan because they look helpless against any team in group B. So far AC Milan still has a chance to qualify for the Europa League but they have to work hard for it and the only condition to qualify for the Europa League is by win the next 2 match. But obviously it won't be an easy game as Liverpool and Atletico Madrid are strong rivals for AC Milan.

It will be very difficult to face from the remaining UCL matches so it is possible that AC Milan will not qualify for the Europa League because I am sure they will not be able to fight Liverpool and Atletico Madrid who are so strong as rivals, one of them must work hard to win because I admit that Milan in Serie A is no longer in doubt, but with the UCL and European leagues like that there is no hope and Milan must really focus on Serie A as the trophy he is aiming for this season.

In any case, Milan should try to achieve maximum results in the remaining matches, because not only good money is at stake, but also such a thing as the reputation of the club. I think that the fans of the club will not be the most delighted if a club with such winning traditions remains in last place with the only point scored. It will be possible to concentrate on the domestic championship after the completion of the group stage matches, given that there are only two of them left. In any case, despite the difficult situation of the club, the situation can still unfold in three different scenarios. Reaching the 1/8 finals in the most favorable scenario, a worse option with an exit to the Europa League and the way of an outsider in the third variant Wink

It is not always like that, look at Inter and how they lost so much money and they are not better this year, which means that nothing guarantees success in football, money is the king here as well and as long as you make a profit you will end up with some titles, without money you could win something and still can go worse and worse.

Apparently that's it, nothing guarantees winning chances in football but, you e got to try. Let's face it, the money helps. It helps to get the right or best players but then, it could only work if you've got the right coach for the team too. To instill in the players the right mindset of winning and no limitations to the damages they could cause there opponents. Its still not a guarantee though.
If you take a look at PSG yesterday when the played against RB Leipzig, with the squad in PSG even without Messi featuring in yesterday's game, I naturally thought they would be unmatched by any other team but what do we see, a struggling PSG, just like other teams. I guess that's the beauty of football, you can't have it all figured out.

I have to say that there is a good chance that Milan could still go up, it looks quite possible because the second is not there yet. However Milan is focusing on the league right now and UCL is not their priority, they were not good enough anyway so there is really nothing that they could do to win UCL anyway and by the looks of it they are not good enough anyway, so there is no need for them to put too much energy into it. Just focus on serie A for this season and maybe if they win it then with that money they could greatly improve the team and have a better season in UCL next year.
