Three teams qualified for the UCL through the playoffs: Kairat Almaty, Pafos, and Qarabağ, which are quite unfamiliar to me. But they managed to qualify, so I think they are indeed great. This means that they deserve their place in the UCL. But I hope they don't just become a source of points for the big teams that are regulars in the UCL. Here is a list of the opponents for these three teams.
Kairat Almaty | - Real Madrid - Inter Milan - Club Brugge - Arsenal - Olympiakos - Sporting CP - Pafos - Copenhagen |
Pafos | - Bayern München - Chelsea - Villarreal - Juventus - Slavia Praha - Olympiakos - Monaco - Kairat Almaty |
Qarabağ | - Napoli - Athletic Club Bilbao - Chelsea - Liverpool - Eintracht Frankfurt - Benfica - Ajax - Copenhagen |
What do you think? I think the chances of passing the preliminary round are very slim and seem impossible.
I have done some background checks of those small teams in the UEFA champion League tournament, I don't think they will withstand Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Arsenal,inter Milan, Napoli and other big teams in the tournament because we have seen where their efforts lead them in the last tournament which people can use that previous performance to judge this current tournament, but to Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain in this new , it will be possible for them to get to semi final as usual because they have the strength and talented players that will make them to embrace the opportunity to meet in the final stage, but Chelsea will not allow Paris Saint Germain to win the UEFA champion League title again because they discovered some tactics to apply to eliminate Paris Saint Germain for any match.
