Winning against Atlanta is not easy. But not impossible. Manchester United have a strong squad. But they are not playing well together, that is the main problem. Winning against Atlanta would be easy if two midfielders Pogba and Bruno and Ronaldo could play well. And of course the defenders have to play well today. Atlanta likes to play attacking, so defenders have to play very carefully.

Manchester United are very unpredictable this season, so it's a thankless job to predict the outcome of this match. Here it is better, if there is a desire to bet on this match, to look at the option of betting on the number of goals scored, because both teams attack well and score goals, and both teams have problems in defense. Therefore, total over 3 may not be a bad option in this match.

The problem has been rooted, not even pep guardiola can fix these mess overnight, if xavi arrive soon it would become a huge huge challenge for him , i just cant imagine xavi fails ... no matter how great he is at current club , barcelona is much bigger than everyone can imagined.
the next champions league match against dynamo kiev would be a do or die game , as if barcelona failed to get full 3 points things could go really hard for them to get through to the next phase.
tough roads ahead , barcelona in total fucked up.
Firstly, I am not sure that Pep Guardiola would have returned to Barcelona in its current state. Guardiola is already used to working with clubs that have high ambitions and these ambitions are backed up by a good financial condition. With all due respect, the current Barcelona, with all its problems, hardly fits this definition. Barcelona now needs an anti-crisis manager in the current difficult conditions and Guardiola does not have serious experience working in such conditions without any guarantee of a successful outcome. The club's management is also unlikely to bring such guarantees, so there is hope for the arrival of Xavi. Another question is that Javi does not have such experience either and there is a serious chance to ruin his coaching career. Therefore, many questions remain.

I don't think any coach can help Barcelona at the moment.
Barcelona is in a big financial and organizational crisis and needs urgent changes, and financial help from a new sponsor.
This is not something the coach can handle but the club management.
Barcelona must give up its big ambitions and focus for the next few years on saving the club financially and preventing the club's bankruptcy.
If the club's management asks the new coach for results, while the club is currently in chaos, this will not be possible and any coach will simply burn out in these impossible circumstances, including Xavi.
The current reality of Barcelona is that this season they are far from titles in both the Spanish Championship and the Champions League, and the club's management will have to understand this as soon as possible and dedicate themselves to saving the club and the future of the club.

I guess one of the games that people are really curious about the result of it is Atalanta - Manchester United. Because Solskjaer's place at Manchester United is still not guaranteed. He was given one last chance against Tottenham in the EPL and he used that chance very well. Now, he can continue to do his work but he must get another satisfying result here to be in a better condition. And it is not very easy to defeat an opponent like Atalanta here. Maybe it will be quite hard but I still believe that they can win.
Pressure a bit off Ole Gunner Solskjaer shoulders already,he bought time while winning Tottenham over the weekend,a win against Atalanta will be hard but the three points is alI see.
Atalanta is a very good attacking side,man utd also,but let's wait to see the better side win this game.

yes, I am also interested in the match, but, I don't Interesting in Ole (that is possible will stay until finished this session if he lost or win). I just want to watch the MU formation, when I look before, Ole use scheme 2 forwarders (3-5-2) that make it more effective for Ronaldo and Cavani. I guess when he stays, MU will be admired by fans again. I don't think so who will be the partner, but when on the front have 2 forwarders that make the opponent concerned on the back only.

Or Xavi could get Barcelona out of the doom, become a savior for his big fans and add one more skill to his resume, why not?
For an average coach like Xavi, what could he lose if he can't help a team that is already struggling to get up? And what could he gain if he succeeds?
I don't know if this is a good choice for Barcelona, but it sure is a good opportunity for Xavi.

Sporting CP game will be pretty though as our star striker Batshuayi is missing in that match. Güven Yalçın is unavailable due to regulations and Kenan Karaman is playing pretty bad in striker position. It's a though choice but we might see Larin in striker position, Sergen Yalçın should try something new though. Clearly it's not working like that when Michy is out. We may see crowded midfield and no real striker, instead fast counter attack game but the problem is Beşiktaş is really slow in counter attack game. If N'Koudou will be back then it's his style of play but after a long injury there are big doubts about his performance and we clearly can't rely on him only. It will be a big test for Sergen Yalçın.

Personally I do not mind teams that were supposed to get eliminated early moving to the later rounds as this makes the tournament more exciting by adding an element of unpredictability to it.

If this team has the resource to continue its performance at a decent level, then I am also happy with such events. But in fact, this is a very rare occurrence and I will be very disappointed (after enduring the tedious group stage) if I see a Sheriff - City match instead of Real - City  Wink
I understand what you mean, after all it is very easy to get hyped about seeing some of the best soccer clubs playing against each other, and just the names of the teams can be more than enough to produce huge hype, something that will not happen with teams that are not as well known around the world, still I will admit that I always like an underdog story as they literally have everything against them and then they prevail based on nothing but their own merits.

the possibility is still there, because indeed they are only 1 point adrift of benfica.
forget to be the leader of the standings because it is not impossible, they should at least be able to maintain maximum results must draw with bayern even though it's very difficult because when they meet bayern they always lose with a striking score Cheesy
at least now they don't slip like they did against benfica, because if they slip against benfica I think they will probably get away with it.
Possibility is always available because Barcelona current form is not going to improve very quickly after having new interim coach they need sometime which can cost them their spot for next round and Benifica is really strong contender for having their spot in next round after beating at home Barcelona. But, currently Barcelona is having good advantage they are going to play their important game at home which is going to help them for having their required results. Dynamo Kyiv is not good enough to handle them in their next match. So, it's very interesting situation for all who is going to be qualified for next round.

Juventus from tomorrow will be in "retirement" for one week.
I don't know if it is the correct English term but they basically will be locked away from the real world and they will stay in Juventus infrastructures for the entire week.

It is a punishment they are trying to use to wake up players.

Manchester United got a very valuable win against Tottenham today by 3-0 away. And this must be enough for them to get better in their Champions League match ahead. They are going to be away this time and against Atalanta again. In their last head-to-head match, Manchester United managed to defeat them by making a big comeback from 0-2 to 3-2 in Old Trafford. This match could be harder than that one. But Manchester United must win to keep up a decent form and they can too.

A very well-deserved win against Spurs. They won the last game against Atalanta with a very good comeback. Atalanta might give Utd some headaches in their home to Utd. I'm hoping for a competitive game.

With the arrival of a new coach (temporary coach) I hope that Barcelona still has a chance at least to qualify for the next round. Currently they have only 3 point in 3 match so they need a win to qualify. If Barcelona win 2/3 next match then they will go through I think. The most difficult match is when Barcelona go to Bayern Munchen because I think Barcelona will lose there. But first I want to see them win at Dynamo Kyiv.

If Barca wins the games against Lisbon and Kiev, then they will definitely be in the next round, since it is unlikely that Lisbon will win against Bayern. Only if Lisbon wins against Bayern and Barca loses against Bayern, then Barca would be eliminated (if Lisbon then gets at least four points against Barca and Kiev). The only question is whether the new interim coach can turn the tide so quickly or whether the problems are not deeper and need more time to fix them.

This is a pretty realistic option. I think Benfica can take 4 points in the games against Barcelona and Kiev. Win against Dynamo Kiev and play a draw against Barcelona. I don't think Barcelona can beat Bayern. And if Barcelona will get out of the group, then it will will meet stronger teams. And he is unlikely to be able to go far in the rounds. So in my opinion it would be better to focus on the LaLiga and the Spanish Cup. In these competitions they have more chances than in the Champions League.

We are only a few days away from the next round. The opening games are going to be Malmo vs Chelsea and Wolfsburg vs Salzburg. I think that Chelsea are going to play one of their easiest group games. They defeated Malmo by 4-0 in their last group game. This time, Lukaku, Werner, Mount and Kovacic all are not expected to play in this game. Maybe this will weaken them in the attacking side but they should still be able to win this. As for the other game, Salzburg defeated Wolfsburg by 3-1 in their last group game. Both teams have many missing players now. But I think that we can watch a quite competitive game here. And I don't expect Wolfsburg to lose this time.

Considering the points the teams have right now, Barca seems like they have a higher chance to qualify for the next round. They will be able to win against Kyiv and Lisbon I'm guessing and Bayern also should not have any problem winning against Lisbon in my opinion. Barca has somewhat recovered from their bad form, I just hope they win their next 2 matches.

We will know a lot about the group stage here.

Milan needs to win or they are out.
~

Interestingly enough, even Milan's victories in the remaining 3 games do not guarantee it an entry into the playoffs. In general, we can say that Milan has ghostly chances to continue the fight, maybe it should concentrate on the domestic championship (where things are going well) and not waste energy on the Champions League.
