UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[BlackBoss_]

The strategy being used by manchester city not to use the main squads once the team was playing away was already predicted by guardiola. Guardiola was saving all of the powers to play at home which was giving a big result like that.

Guardiola is actually aware what was the weakness of leipzig after analyzing the first leg.

I can be seen from the strategy that is used by manchester city.


Formation for leg 1




formation for leg 2



From there we can see how pep was rotating bernardo silva and changed mahrez with de bruyne which is very effective to change the play style. This is what i called that pep preparing a surprise for leipzig.

Pep Guardiola is always creative with tactics and formation and this match is not a first time he did it. Mahrez and De Bruyne are different players and De Bruyne tends to play more simply than Mahrez and he can provide more direct attack than Mahrez.

The match is a personal show from Haaland and he has his first small hands in Champions League. With five goals from the match, he has hit the 30th goal mark and has become a youngest player who can touch this achievement by passing through a previous record from Mbappe. It is impressive that both Haaland and Mbappe beat past records from two legendary players Messi and Ronaldo.

With these five goals, Haaland already has 10 goals in Champions League this season and he has good chance to win a best scorer in this season. With maximum 5 matches left, Haaland can break a previous record of Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring more than 15 goals in one season.

Glad to see my choice was coming true. Porto was not able even make a single goal against intermilan. Intermilan has been qualified for the last 8 as we all manchester city by winning with very big scores against leipzig. It must be a very easy prediction. It's better for porto to keep trining to execute the golden chance that came to the club. I meant to look at how it was so hard for porto against intermilan. Glad to see that haaland was making 5 scores alone against leipzig. it seems like that the performance in the bundesliga was also affecting the performance from the club in UCL.

Inter were lucky to not receive a late goal and undergone extra time. Porto being unlucky during the game and mainly at the end, the post and the bar saved Inter this time but the result remains poor for them..

I guess that if halaand can add more goals if pep was not deciding to replace him with another player. What a super game from haaland.

Poor Guardiola is being heavily criticised for his decision and called indirectly traitor and preventing Haaland from scoring 6 goals so he can bypass Messi record and just not tying with him. Well I think that Guardiola decision was normal personally.

Porto is lack good players in the attacking lines. Some golden chances already appeared yet porto's players were unable to maximized these chances to be goals. I would not be surprised to see so many critics coming toward guardiola. Halaand can become a player which with most goals in a match.
That's very sad that if pep was doing it. pep can at least try to give him more chances to create his first record in UCL.

To be honest i could not even accept the decision that had already been taken by pep. Haaland can become a new legend in UCL that was surpassing messi or ronaldo.

WTF was wrong with pep.

Inzaghi has accomplished his mission that playing at Porto home ground he was bringing Inter to playing more defensive and during the match i can see Inter defensive lines were very discipline to guarded Porto players and for Porto they were take initiative to playing attack since early minutes but unfortunately Inter players didn't let them to create the opportunities to scoring goals but in the last minutes on second half Porto were almost scored goals but unfortunately their attempts were hitting crossbar twice which makes Porto failed to win the match and eleminate

Under Inzaghi this is the best achievement for Inter in champion league because last season Inter only able reach to round of 16 before eliminated by Liverpool and now Italian teams has 2 representative Inter and Milan on quarterfinal and looking forward to see the journey of these teams but i expect they can reach more than quarterfinal

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

When you've got eyes on goal and your made the top 9 in a club like Manchester, your sure to do well. You just have to be hitting the target and that's what Erling Haaland is good at, getting in front of players and sending the ball in the right direction.

You are actually right on that statement of yours, because following the outcome of last night's game, it was quite impressive seeing Erling Haaland scoring 5 goals straight in a single match, which at such, that amount to the first person to score 10 Championship goals within a short period of 6 games in a  season. While having a total of 33 goals in 25 games since 2018 till date in his Championships race, and at such, taking over from "Ruud van Nistelrooy" of Man-United as the quickest to score 30 goals in 25 championship appearance.

Note: Because  "Ruud van Nistelrooy" was only able to score his 30 goals after 45 games, but Haaland did his in just 25 games

Manchester really needed E. Haaland to come back like this in an important match. He single-handedly turned the game around. He managed to score five goals alone in this Champions League match. Manchester City drew 1-1 against RB Leipzig in the previous league so this match was a no-win for Manchester City. However, this match was completely in the possession of Manchester City. 67% possession of the ball and managed to make 23 short shots. In contrast, they managed just four shots, which shows how well Manchester City performed in yesterday's match. Scored successive goals for Manchester City.
 E. Haaland 22' (P), 24', 45+2', 53', 57'
İ. Gündoğan 49'
K. De Bruyne 90+2'
Best of luck to Manchester City, hope they do better in the next round of league matches.

Porto played good enough and they created some opportunities especially two head shots in extra times and came very close to an equalize goal for aggregated result. However, luckiness stands with Inter Milan and brings them to quarter final round.

Haaland and Mbappe are making new histories. They are even have better statistics than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi at age of 23. Together, they will make a new duo race personally between two new super stars. They are making history in their clubs, at domestic leagues and in Champions League as well.

Mbappe just became a new all time scorer for PSG days ago. At his young age, he already scored more than 200 goals for PSG and took over the best scorer position from Ibrahimovic and Cavani. Haaland are making history in Premier League with Manchester City and he are breaking record in Champions League as well.

Manchester City controlled the match but they ended it more successfully than the first match in Germany. In the second match, they did not give Leipzig chance to comeback. They took advantage of any chance to score goals and destroy mentality of Leipzig and went straight to a big win.

It is different than the first match when they failed to find a second goal and gave Leipzig hope and chance to equalize the match in very late minutes.

[LGD2Business]

Now we have only three players with five goals in a Champions League game.

Erling Haaland
Lionel Messi
Luiz Andriano

Haaland could be alone on this list, but Guardiola took him out of the game too early. He could have been removed from the game in the 80th minute, breaking the record after scoring a goal and going into Champions League history alone. Don't give me the excuse of injury, it's funny.
Manchester City showed the difference in quality. There is no team other than Bayern from the German teams that can cope with them. I wonder who they will match in the quarter-finals.

[Docnaster]

Congratulations also to Haaland for setting a new record in the Champions League by scoring 5 goals in one game. This result is of course very painful for RB Leipzig but they have to accept the difference in their strength with Manchester city in this match.

It's not up to a year since Erling Haaland came to Manchester City and he's beginning to set different records for himself in football. With these 5 goals scored by Haaland against Leipzig. Haaland has become another player after Lewandowski that have scored 10 goals in a single season for two different clubs(Dortmund and Manchester City).

Haaland is becoming unstoppable with goals. He scores in any slighted given opportunities he sees.
I will be not surprised if he wins the highest goal scorer in the premier league and champion league

Erling Haaland's great positioning and prolific power in front of goal is what I've never doubted despite the recent criticisms. He is naturally born to play in that center forward position and he does it with so much ease but my own only problem with his style of play is his inability to play in deeper positions when the team is having bad game and probably dribble few players and create chances for himself or his teammates to score.

He's always stationed in his top 9 position waiting for great passes come his way so he can convert them. He's a great footballer we know but for him to be seen in the same level with Mbappe, he should be playmaking sometimes.

[Jody.Drummer]

Erling Haaland will receive tight guard from the RB Leipzig defense, because they will realize how dangerous this young Manchester City player is. But if Pep Guardiola is good at taking advantage of the situation, then an empty space will be created that other Manchester City players can use to penetrate the Leipzig defense focused on Erling Haaland. Attacking is an option for Manchester City to win, but they have to be wary of counterattacks from RB Leipzig, they have to be careful with players who have speed, because they can create deadly counterattacks.

I think that Erling Haaland will be very closely defended by Josko Gvardiol and this could be a matchup where even Erling Haaland could have severe problems to ever get in good chances to score. Gvardiol is definitely one of the best central defenders of the world at the moment even though he is only 21 years old. That is also the reason why probably every big club has him on their list to sign, even though Gvardiols market value is already at 75 Million € at the moment.
If Leipzig is able to defend Haaland and of course the other ManCity attackers well, then everything is possible. The defense of ManCity is not the most stable one and a goal for Leipzig should be possible.

In fact this is not really the case.
In fact, in this case, I think that Leipzig's original intention was to mark Haaland strictly, but guarding against him was very small because even though he was central, there were several troublesome movements of other players that made Manchester City very dominating.
The score is quite striking and quite different from the previous Leg which is proof that Manchester City did not take the first leg too seriously.
Quite a lot of goals and Haaland managed to score a quitrcik which is rare for players to score this in big competitions. This is truly an insane achievement for a 22 year old player.

@Jody.Drummer even if the entire team was marking him then too it would have been impossible to stop him yesterday, because he was on a mission i.e. to score as many goals as possible. Also now all eyes turn to Liverpool’s match and I don’t really expect them to stun Real Madrid, but then this is champions league football and upsets tend to happen so let’s see if Liverpool can cause an shock upset or not.

[Strongkored]

Haaland's positioning was so crazy during the match against leipzig. Very disappointed to see pep was changing him. It seems like that pep was also thinking about potentially getting injured caused by serious fouls by leipzig's players.

The coach will be more focused on club targets than player achievements that Haaland will probably be able to achieve if he stays on until the match is over, more than that, when Haaland was replaced, City was quite safe with the ticket to the next round.
There are still two competitions that require the focus of their core players like Haaland so changing them is a wise decision to be fit again when sunday they will return to play in the FA Cup.

Porto couldn't do much in the match against Inter they weren't even able to make the match go to extra time because Porto only needed 1 goal to do that, they dominated most of the match but failed on many occasions.

What we're know is Real Madrid can pull an upset, while the other club seems unlikely to pull an upset. The match Liverpool vs Real Madrid is happen on Real Madrid's home too, do you think Liverpool will win with big margins in Real Madrid's home? I don't believe it.

Since Real Madrid already secure 3 points in order to qualify for the next round, I think they wouldn't mind if the match end in draw or lose for maximum of 2 goals.

He was absolutely outstanding in this match. and like you said, no one can defend Haaland like him in this match.
On the other hand, apart from Haaland, almost all the players from Manchester City did really well in this match. we can even see the moves De Bruyne and the other midfielders are making, they are completely different in this game.

Talking about Liverpool and Madrid I'm not going to speculate much but Madrid are clear favorites at the moment.

Manchester City's big win in this match and everyone was amazed and focused on one player, namely Erling Haaland who scored 5 goals, this was extraordinary.
Regardless of the criticism that has been leveled at him lately, the statistics cannot be covered that Erling Haaland is an extraordinary player, in his first season with Man City he was immediately able to adapt quickly and contributed a lot.
I don't compare him to any player but for now at Man City he is the best striker.

What we're know is Real Madrid can pull an upset, while the other club seems unlikely to pull an upset. The match Liverpool vs Real Madrid is happen on Real Madrid's home too, do you think Liverpool will win with big margins in Real Madrid's home? I don't believe it.

yes, that's true, it's impossible for Liverpool to turn things around, especially since their team's performance is currently very bad.
Real Madrid are the kings of Europe, they have a very strong mentality, it is very difficult to beat them especially now that Real Madrid has won Agg 3 goals.

I already suspected that the scores for Intermilan and Porto would be a draw because they were equally strong, at least seeing 2 representatives of Italy namely Intermilan and Milan qualify for the quarter-finals and in the other match Manchester City won with a big score, I think everyone thinks the same as me Manchester City will win the match because they are playing at home and in front of their supporters, of course they want to give their best, but who would have thought that the score would go crazy up to 7 - 0 and that is really a high score.

Manchester city played well in the game. I was expecting a win but wasn’t thinking they could score up to that number of goals. Pep wanted his team to dismantle Leipzig so they can progress to the next round. De Bruyne impressed on his return to the starting eleven against Leipzig, pulling the strings in their 7-0 victory and powering home a sensational long-range effort. Halaand was sensational in the game. In fact the whole team actually performed well and I’m afraid they can replicate this score line in their next game.

Although Inter Milan managed to qualify for the quarter-finals, the team's performance could not be said to be too strong. They were venomous in both matches against Porto. After winning the first leg, Inter Milan aimed to draw the match in the second leg. Porto's players attacked a lot throughout the match. On the other hand, Inter Milan played defensively. We don't see many attacks from Inter Milan players.

I was sure Manchester City would win against Leipzig. But they would score 7 goals which was a surprise to me. The most surprising thing is that Haaland scored 5 goals in this match. He was unopposed in this match.

With City winning easily by a score of 7 nil and the visitors posing little threat, one might question what went wrong with RB Leipzig. Pep Guardiola displayed prudency for the club with his amazing configuration he deployed in the encounter against Marco Rose. With five goals in the contest, Haaland received a rating of 10.0, while Kelvin De Bruyne received a rating of 9.4. The Belgian international is back in form and providing crucial assists on the field. City definitely has a significant advantage in the Champions League because Etihad Stadium is known for thrashing elite clubs.

Honestly Man City completely overran RB Leipzig rendering them helpless and much credit goes to Haaland for his clinical finish that culminated to 5 goals in a single match such an incredible record for the youngstar he was a fantastic goal machine he already scored 39 goals in all competitions for Man City this season, it was amazing and entertaining performance by the home team,  infact I never expected RB Leipzig to concede seven goals yestarday having been defeated twice only in their last 24 matches shows how formidable the squad is unfortunately couldn't withstand City.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I’m very happy for Inter Milan to have qualified for the UCL quarterfinals since 2011. I knew going to Porto would be difficult as I was expecting them to lose but they surprised me with a goalless draw. Porto through everything at Inter to force extra-time but woodwork twice denied. Somehow I think Porto played very well. They were just unlucky in the game, they did everything in last 10 minutes but unfortunately they weren’t a able to put ball in Inter's goal post.
