UEFA Champions League 2023/2024

[Kramerica Industries]

In any case, Atalanta or Roma can grab the UCL ticket via Europa League route, although it is unlikely they gonna win it, but they still have to fight for it at least for the coefficient.

Which begs its own question...

If Italy gets a 5th CL spot through coefficients, and either Roma or Atalanta win the Europa League but fail to finish in the top-5 domestically, does that mean Italy would send six teams to the Champions League next season? Or does the 5th place team gets squeezed in that case?

It's 6 spots iir
If it's EL and make it to top 5, then it's not 6 spots.

Sorry, but when does it get confirmed Serie A gets a 5th CL spot?

Atletico losing vs a relegation team, shit... we gotta win this. But we have to be ready mentally in case of a loss, right now we are not used to lose.

I would read too much into it.

Champions League football can be very different. Hopefully, we just win.

And if the world is kind to us, we get PSV in the next round.

Come on Napoli

 

[Ethor]

The Arsenal vs Porto or Barca vs Napoli today. I use to like Arsenal, but they've become way too cocky, their fans especially. Use to like Barca because they beat Real Madrid occasionally, but now not so much. Guess I'll be rooting for Porto and Napoli today.

Osimhen hat trick would be boss

Haha, Intere fans are becoming cocky as well. Some of the comments on other teams here are becoming pretty pathetic if I judged objectively

Their fans were always cocky as fuck.

They're as delusional as the internet Milanisti you find around but at least you can see why a Milan fan would pride in 7 CLs whereas all Arsenal has is an unbeaten PL title and a bunch of Serie A rejects to hail as legends.

Thank you for telling us that, Brehme. Amazing information.

Barcelona with a pretty weak lineup. They will field Christensen in midfield with Lopez and a 17 year old in defense... They are still the favorites, as Napoli is starting Juan Jesus, but they should put up a good fight and not just rely on counters.

Strongest lineup possible considering injuries and don’t downplay the 17 year old in defense, Cubarsi will mark an era at the club

We’ll see if they are ready to take the next step in the competition despite injuries, inconsistency etc. - hard to believe a protagonist might end up being a 16 year old in Lamine

 

[Besnik]

Well actually, in paper Napoli seems superior but sadly this season they are prone to underperforming big time. Barca's line-up seems trash, but they still have their own philosophy, which can still do damage to this side of Napoli.

How cool would it be, if both Porto and Napoli make it.

Cubarsi and Yamal are going to bail Barcelona out in this period of economic turmoil. The thought of it annoys me but I guess that's the upshot to having a top notch youth academy.

Us and Napoli have flipped roles from a year ago. I hope that doesn't extend to Napoli making it all the way to the Final while we don't, especially if they go through us to do so.

If Napoli advance today, they will qualify for 2025 Club World Cup instead of Juve.

As if I needed any more reason to say "Forza Napoli"...

Almost zero chance this Napoli side makes it to the final. Besides of them having huge issues off-pitch, they are also having most of their key players under performing and lacking motivation. While Inter despite being shaky in the league for a major time, we managed to bounce back and we have only gotten better by the time.

Napoli stands a chance only because Barca has been shaky as well, and they are having quite a few absences in their line-up.

I think any other team left in the tournament, would beat this side of Napoli.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Barca has such a brutal roster. They are missing so many top players and still manage to field solid backups. Xavi is a clown.

 

[Ethor]

That was easy...
