UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Fakhrulenclix]

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.

Manchester City is really the favorite in this match and it's true that many people won't predict this 7-goal victory. I also thought that Man City would only win with 2 or 3 goals, but in fact Halaand made new history for himself on the UCL stage.
Halaand and also De Bruyne were key in this match, De Bruyne played quite well in midfield and Halaand showed his quality in front of the opponent's goal.
The 5 goals that Halaand was able to score proved that he was quite productive and dangerous.
this could be the reason for increasing the team's mentality by being able to win matches with a large enough score and Man City really needs this because they are one of the candidates for the UCL championship this season.

Six teams are already assured of advancing to the next round. Each team that has qualified consists of;
1. AC Milan (Serie A - Italy)
2. Bayern Munich (Bundesliga - Germany)
3. Benfica (Primeira Liga - Portugal)
4. Chelsea (Premier League - England)
5. Inter Milan (Serie A - Italy)
6. Manchester City (Premier League - England)

Of these six teams, perhaps Chelsea and Inter Milan are the teams that qualify dramatically because the effort to qualify is quite heavy.

There are two more teams that will work hard to qualify following the six teams above, namely;
7. Napoli vs Frankfurt, and
8. Real Madrid vs Liverpool

Napoli and Real Madrid have a great chance of qualifying. If Frankfurt need to win with a score above 2 against Napoli, then Liverpool need a win with a score above 3 against Real Madrid. On paper it is difficult to happen, but in football difficult things can happen.

Let's look forward to it.

Few expected Leipzig to shock the Champions League this season by beating Manchester City. But instead Manchester City managed to surprise the world with Haaland's best weapon.

Manchester City didn't give Leipzig many chances to even get a lot of touches of the ball throughout the match. The fast game and high pressure played by Manchester City forced the Leipzig defenders to make many mistakes. That first penalty was a bad start for Leipzig because after that Haaland seemed to be possessed devils and didn't stop scoring up to 5 goals.

Napoli and Real Madrid have a great chance of qualifying. If Frankfurt need to win with a score above 2 against Napoli, then Liverpool need a win with a score above 3 against Real Madrid. On paper it is difficult to happen, but in football difficult things can happen.

Let's look forward to it.

I hope Napoli and Liverpool qualify for the quarter-finals. Real Madrid is the only La Liga team left, but it's hard to get Liverpool to easily score 3-4 goals to win. Liverpool will have to fight and do everything to qualify, and if that happens then Serie A and Premier League absolutely dominate the quarter-finals with 3 teams representing each.

Wow, I can hardly believe it! Man City absolutely crushed Leipzig, scoring total 7 goals! And let's talk about Erling Haaland for a moment, what a player! He's a goal-scoring machine and deserves all the respect in the world. It's almost like he has a sixth sense for where the ball will be and always manages to be in the right place at the right time to score. And with his impressive 5 goals in this game, he's now Man City's record scorer for a single season - what an achievement! Haaland's performance was nothing short of brilliant, he was lightning-fast and incredibly clinical in front of goal. And let's not forget about City's midfield, they're seriously strong and creating chances seems like a walk in the park for them. This win with such a high goal aggregate will definitely boost the team's morale, but I just hope their UCL journey won't end up losing like as before.

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.

Inter played strong defense in the second leg. even though he couldn't score, it was enough to send Inter through to the next round. Porto is frustrated, they've tried as much as possible. but the tactics played by Inter were much stronger.

City also succeeded in destroying Leipzig. they show a very good quality of play. now just waiting for the Napoli vs Frankfurt and Madrid vs Liverpool matches

[3meek]

Man City decided to show that they play as well as Real Madrid... It was a great match and even a pity for Leipzig... It would have been interesting to see Man City and Real Madrid in the final... As long as they don't meet in the semi-finals...

Manchester City didn't give Leipzig many chances to even get a lot of touches of the ball throughout the match. The fast game and high pressure played by Manchester City forced the Leipzig defenders to make many mistakes. That first penalty was a bad start for Leipzig because after that Haaland seemed to be possessed devils and didn't stop scoring up to 5 goals.

I immediately switched my viewing to the FC Porto vs Inter Milan match as Haaland had already given Manchester City a 2-0 win last night against Leipzig.
Despite the Cityzens' big win, we have our doubts about Pep Giardiola's side in the UCL. Who knows who will be their opponent in the next round. If Manchester City's quarter-final draw is against a Serie A team or a Bundesliga representative, then their quest for European success will be difficult.

Napoli and Real Madrid have a great chance of qualifying. If Frankfurt need to win with a score above 2 against Napoli, then Liverpool need a win with a score above 3 against Real Madrid. On paper it is difficult to happen, but in football difficult things can happen.

Liverpool is your hope to qualify for the Quarterfinals?
Historically, Liverpool should not be underestimated by anyone in the UEFA Champion League tournament, but with their current condition you still hope they qualify. Are you serious?
Real Madrid won't be lowering their game at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ancelotti wants to make history. Moreover, they are currently the only team from La Liga.

[MinoRaiola]

Yes, these are three players who scored 5 goals in one game. Maybe Haland is superior to Lionel Messi, because he only got 63 minutes of playing time. Maybe he can add to the number of goals if the opportunity to play the full 90 minutes.

With these 5 goals, he is now also on 1st place in the Champions League as top scorer and 2 goals ahead of Mohamed Salah. Salah will probably make his last game this season in the Champions League, they play against Real Madrid and have lost the first match 5:2. On 3rd place is Kylian Mbappe with 7 goals, and he is already out with Paris. So Halland will be the top scorer this season not only in the Premier League. With the game yesterday his stats in the CL are every 40 minutes 1 goal, just crazy.

Why are you not mentioning Real Madrid as well? Manchester City vs. Real Madrid would certainly be a great match up as they still have a score to settle from last year!

The game between Porto and Inter was as expected and I think Porto actually deserved to score a goal. Inter's passing accuracy was among the worst in a long time and Porto tried everything they could but were out of luck eventually. It was obvious that Porto would give their everything, but I also thought that Inter is trying to get more control over the game and slow it down. Was hardly possible for them and if you look at all the teams that are qualified or likely to qualify for the next round, my guess is that Inter is the worst of them all.

The one advantage that Liverpool now still has is that they have nothing to lose anymore. Sometimes that can be quite freeing and if they can score one quick goal they might even start believing in a miracle.

[hyudien]

Liverpool will be very careful this time because the Leg 2 they have is quite a valuable bet. Real Madrid will also not feel safe even though they have won in Leg 1. Klopp will give his best game to continue advancing to the quarter-finals phase. It's hard to predict in this match because Liverpool always plays well when their opponents have equal strength.

The spectacular victory that Man City won today has given a breath of fresh air where Haaland is a field star who seems hungry for goals. The 5 goals created that conquered Leipzig were quite satisfying. Pep Guardiola is proud of the achievement of a Haaland who is so on fire to slay the opponent's defense.

FC Porto was just unfortunate not to get a goal in that match because they made some commendable goal attempts. Andre Onana denied them some goalscoring chances and I think Inter Milan is indepted to the Cameroon international. The game was very tended and the fans will not be disappointed because Porto put up a good fight.

I can't just explain what went wrong in the game between RB Leipzig and Manchester City. The German team was a total shadow of itself. They put up a good fight in the first leg and I expected this underdog to fight and get at east a draw in Etihad but the match turned out to be a nightmare. It was a total show of masterclass by the English team and I hope they would do the same thing when they meet a more formidable team.

[Strongkored]

Liverpool will be very careful this time because the Leg 2 they have is quite a valuable bet. Real Madrid will also not feel safe even though they have won in Leg 1. Klopp will give his best game to continue advancing to the quarter-finals phase. It's hard to predict in this match because Liverpool always plays well when their opponents have equal strength.

Liverpool still has a chance even though it's really difficult and slim because they not only need to win but also win with a lot of goals at least 4 without being conceded by Real Madrid in the match later so the aggregate is 6-5 for Liverpool, but making 4 goals is difficult because Real Madrid is not a team whose defense is easy to penetrate, especially playing in front of its own public, but it seems that the bookmakers have the same view as you that this is a match that is difficult to predict, judging by the odds on the two teams, it is not much different even though Real Madrid got the lower but they not really the favorites in this match.

In contrast to Napoli, who are very far the favorites over their opponents later, playing in front of their own fans, also with a goal advantage will make it easier for them, moreover Napoli have appeared quite impressive so far it is predicted that they will not be able to go too far but they have answered many doubts in this competition.

[hahay]

It's really unfortunate that the second leg between Porto v Inter only ended in a goalless draw, even though Porto immediately attacked when the match started. But unfortunately, Inter only maintained an aggregate win, so Inter only maximized their defense to keep playing well and disciplined, so that Porto was not lucky enough to turn the opportunities they got into goals.

Although Inter also had several attempts with shots on target, but in the end the match only ended in a goalless draw. Even though I really hope that Porto can score goals in the match, because if that happens then of course Inter will try to respond by playing more attacking.

[rahmad2nd]

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.

To be honest, I didn't expect that City would beat Leipzig with a landslide score. initially, my estimate, the final result with a score of 3-1. that's why, I prefer to bet over 2 over. because if I choose the home team, the odds that City have are quite low. So, I bet that there will be a lot of goals in this game. it's just that, I didn't think that Leipzig would be defeated by a score of 7-0. Haaland was absolutely fantastic in this match, he scored 5 goals which in the end Haaland had a great chance to become the top scorer.
but referring to my previous post, this fight is what I predicted. that the game will go one way, City will dominate the game. and yes, in the first half until the fight was over, the ball possession was completely controlled by the home team. City had 23 total shots, 16 shots on target, 3 off target, 4 blocked shots.

On the other hand, it is inversely proportional to what is shown by Leipzig. Marco Rose's squad struggled to keep pace with the home team's play. the pressure came on, after the first goal from a penalty by Haaland. Leipzig seemed helpless, they only had one shot on target. as a result, they have to admit to the superiority of the home team. with this, City strolled perfectly into the next round phase.

[puloweh555]

Most likely Italy will be represented by 3 teams in the quarter-finals namely Milan, Inter and Napoli. Most among representatives from other countries. If you're not mistaken, this is the best achievement for Italian representatives in the UCL over the last few years where they placed the most representatives in the quarter-finals ahead of representatives from England and Spain who have dominated in recent years.

It is possible that fellow Italian representatives will meet in the quarter-finals later. If that happens, there will be at least 1 Italian representative in the semifinals. But if the 3 Italian representatives don't meet each other in the quarter-finals, the opportunity to place their representatives in the semifinals can still be opened if the meeting is between Benfica or Chelsea.

Because the 2 teams are still on a draw with the 3 representatives of Italy. But for Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Man City, I think they are still too strong for the 3 Italian representatives. Maybe only Napoli can still slightly offset the superiority of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Man City. But for Milan and Inter, it's realistic. Because the 2 teams are not consistent in playing in the League. Plus the Milan and Inter MIlan squads are less convincing when compared to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Man City.

I think Man City will win the UCL this season. Which team do you think will win?

[Lordhermes]

Kudos for pep Guardiola men yesterday defeating Leipzig 7:0 is something that doesn't happen in Champions league always. Manchester city was super yesterday night, they outclassed Leipzig at Etihad stadium. I was sure they gonna qualitito the next round of the league. And Manchester city are favourite for the title this season. But they will have to destroy Real Madrid to get it.

In my opinion, Inzaghi does not want to take risks that will harm Inter. Inzaghi came to Porto, of course he understood the condition of the opposing team. Porto as the host was indeed very ambitious to avenge the defeat in leg 1. However, Porto's attempt failed due to Inter playing with a strong defense. I think this is part of Inzaghi's smart strategy.

Liverpool will be very careful this time because the Leg 2 they have is quite a valuable bet. Real Madrid will also not feel safe even though they have won in Leg 1. Klopp will give his best game to continue advancing to the quarter-finals phase. It's hard to predict in this match because Liverpool always plays well when their opponents have equal strength.

Not really, I will prefer to say Liverpool is still an unstable team. If they always play well against team with equal strength, they would not lose by 3 goals difference in the 1st leg. If Liverpool want to advance to next round, there is only 1 way to make it come true which is by playing full offensive strategy as they will need win with 4 goals difference. I do not want o underestimate Liverpool but I do not even think they can win in Bernabeu.

I also thought Porto could score at least one goal for Inter to tie the overall score of the two games. But Inter defended well in that game and Porto left the Champions League, although they had a good opportunity to continue to compete. Porto have performed much better this season than in the past, but the strongest wins.

[Jatiluhung]

the second leg of the round of 16, namely Napoli Vs Frankfurt today, seems to be a little easy to predict. because Napoli in the first leg had won 2 goals at Frankfurt. whereas today the second leg will take place at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Napoli will certainly be superior in this match as the host. even Napoli have excelled when away matches. so this time in the home match it will certainly be easier for Napoli. maybe it will run the same as the Man City match which managed to beat RB Leipzig easily.
